chapter 12

“didn't i tell you to stay on your spot?!” jungkook bursted through the door of their dorm, taehyung following behind closely.

“i was bored okay? besides, i trust jimin. he's my friend.” taehyung reasoned out as they stopped in the middle of the spacious living room.

taehyung heard the latter scoffed as he turned around facing the petite guy, “friend huh? you’ve only met him one time taehyung, one fucking time! stop risking your safety just because you want to flirt with anyone—”

a sound of palm hitting a skin resonated throughout the corner of the house, taehyung had just slapped jungkook before the other could even finish his words.

jungkook’s eyes had widened, he slowly looked up to meet taehyung’s flaring face. “how dare you call me a flirt when you only know such little information about me? do you even know how much having a friend means to me jungkook?” taehyung exclaimed as he wiped the tears building up on his eyes.

“i.. taehyung.. ” jungkook started, regret is evident in his eyes.

“no! don't taehyung me. let me tell you this jungkook, i was friendless growing up because of my dad always have to ensure my fucking safety. i had no one to turn to during my darkest time aside from my cousins who lives far away from me, i couldn't befriend my classmates because i had bodyguards with me twenty-four-seven! i had no one to call my friend jungkook, i was always alone. so don't you dare tell me what to do when you're only sent out and payed to guard me!” taehyung exclaimed angrily as he cried like a little kid in front of jungkook.

jungkook stood in silence, no emotion in his eyes as he observed taehyung who’s breaking down. with that, jungkook did something out of his instinct and immediately brought taehyung into his chest.

he doesn't know but the sight of taehyung crying brought a pinch in his heart.

“shh, i-i’m sorry tae,” the nickname slipped so naturally out of jungkook’s mouth as taehyung kept on sobbing into jungkook’s chest.

he continued to pacify the younger, rubbing his back gently and whispered sweet apologies on his ears.

taehyung’s cries faltered and turned into hiccups, jungkook loosened his arms around taehyung’s frame as the younger slowly backed away.

taehyung sighed, “i'm just gonna sleep.” as he dragged his feet away from jungkook.

as soon as jungkook heard the door of taehyung’s room closed, he immediately let out a heavy sigh. he pulled on his hair frustratedly, “fuck..” he whispered.

he closed his eyes and earlier images of taehyung crying gradually occupied it, jungkook could only sit and beat himself mentally. he hadn't mean to say that taehyung was flirting, he didn't exactly know why he even said that.

overthinking was the only thing he did until his lids felt heavy and brought him into a slumber.

the next morning, taehyung groaned as he shifted into his bed. sun rays peeking from his window caused him to bury his face into his pillow more.

he sighed as he blinked his eyes open, he sat up and stretched his body. last night’s events was still imminent on his face as it became puffy due to him crying his way to sleep.

half asleep, he managed got out of his bed to go to the kitchen as his tummy was growling.

as he opened the door out, he heard a noise in the kitchen. he then slowly made his way towards the room curiously.

jungkook’s bareback was facing him, making him snapped out from his sleepy daze. he felt his cheeks warmed and—

“hey.. you're up.” jungkook’s voice sounded groggy in the mornings, he noticed that the latter had already showered judging from the droplets from his hair.

taehyung only nodded in response, he have to remind himself that he was still slightly mad at jungkook.

jungkook cleared his throat and said, “come sit. i made breakfast..” looking at taehyung with hopeful eyes. he sighed in relief as taehyung sat on the dining table.

awkwardness filled the room as they both ate in silence but jungkook had enough so he decided to start a talk.

“uh, so tomorrow will be the start of your classes..” jungkook started, taehyung only looked up waiting for him to continue, “and unfortunately, i have to go with you too. don't worry, i will not be attending your classes like a regular student. i promise to just sit closely and guard you..”

taehyung only sighed, he knew this was gonna happen again, he hummed in response going back to finish his breakfast.

he was about to put stand up when he heard jungkook called his name, “taehyung?”

taehyung only looked at the latter, “just.. i’m sorry about last night.. i did not meant to say the f word and i know you might not forgive me but atleast cooperate with me, yeah?”

“sure.” was all taehyung’s response before he discarded his plate and left jungkook alone in the dining table.
