Don't leave me

Part 8

-No ones POV-

Jungkook was jealous of Lizzie now that Taehyung said they were dating. It was different then what he'd said last night that she wouldn't be an exception to dating his friends and now that Jungkook wanted to make Taehyung jealous with Soo-Ah he was the one left with a jealous rage over his crush and the new girlfriend. What was he supposed to do now that he couldn't make Taehyung jealous?  They didn't talk the rest of the weekend since Taehyung got so busy since his dad returned but no matter how angry Jungkook was he couldn't let Taehyung move back there. At school Lizzie was always around Taehyung and he seemed to enjoy her attention which Jimin clearly didn't like and the other girls that were his fans hated it. Maybe I could leave it to them to break the two up and then swoop in? How could he do that when he had to worry about Soo-Ah all the time. 

-Jungkook-

I worried about Taehyung recently. With his dad back in town and looking for him Taehyung was very paranoid and jumpy. He stopped sleeping in my room and constantly refused meals and school. My mother and father tried to talk to him but he didn't do it and they didn't know why. The day I'd brought him home I explained he was beaten and abused at his home so they let him stay but now they saw him and worried for his mental state. I took the food from the maid and smiled kindly to her while knocking on Taehyungs door, when he opened it I saw he'd been crying so I lightly pushed the door open with my foot and put the food on the desk before going to Taehyung and holding his hand.

Jungkook- "Talk to me about it. Please."

Taehyung exhaled shakily.

Taehyung- "I wanted to. I wanted to talk. Damn it that's really want I wanted. I want to scream it and beg for help but all that ever comes out of my mouth is I'm fine when I'm not. Please help me. Save me."

I grabbed his hands a little harder and made him meet my eyes.

Jungkook- "It's like that because you find it hard to find people who understand what you mean but I do. I get it Taehyung. You can yell at me and shout for all I care but dont keep it in like this. I cant take seeing you like this. You're broken and I see it in your eyes."

He met my eyes.

Taehyung- "It hurts to be in love with someone you can't have so you take the next best route for someone you make happy but you don't want to be with them. It kills you to see their smiles when you don't love them the same way they love you."

I lifted his chin softly to make him look at me and this brought our lips closer yet not quite touching.

Jungkook- "You don't love Lizzie right? Don't lead her on. You liked someone right? Then let them know. Don't make them guess and lose hope because you have her by your side. Make it clear to her. You told me that night I was a get together, not a date and she wasn't the exception."

Taehyungs eyes watered and I wiped the tears when they fell.

Taehyung- "It was you."

I looked at him, a little confused.

Taehyung- "You're the one I would make that exception for. You're the one I liked for so long. You're the one. Jungkook I won't be a second option for you though. You either choose me or dont I won't stand in your way or love. I know you don't love-"

I lost my hold of my mothers word of warning to never be with a guy because it was a disgrace and I kissed him. For a second I could tell he didn't know what was going on but when he did his lips met mine and it was nothing like when Soo-Ah kissed me. It was stronger, a sense of lightning erupting just beneath the skin. When I broke away I whispered so softly that I wasn't sure he heard me.

Jungkook- "I choose you."

I smiled a bit and kissed his cheek before getting up.

Taehyung- "Don't play me like that. Please. I can't take falling more in love with you. You are dating Soo-Ah. I love you. I've been in love with you for so long. I don't wanna be played."

I had enough of that and slammed him to the wall holding his hand. He groaned softly.

Jungkook- "Play you? I would NEVER play you okay? I have always loved you from day one. Im with the woman my mom wants me to be with so that she doesn't cry and yell at me. I want nothing more than to be a good son for her but I want you so much more. I brought Soo-Ah that day so shed keep Lizzie busy and I could have you but you and her are now dating so it backfired on me and now I'm alltime jealous. "

Taehyung stared at me and lightly smiled and held my hand back.

Taehyung- "Promise? "

I chuckled and pecked his lips before moving a little.

Jungkook- "I do."

He had a soft smile. What did we do now? Sneak around behind everybody and date? Thatd be cheating and I knew neither of us could do that.

Taehyung- "For now we just need to figure everything out. That's all. Then we'll be okay. Until then we do nothing about the feelings. This will be no good if we rushed in. Let's keep things steady as we are. If the feelings don't fade then we should try?  I don't know. This is weird for me."

I nodded and hugged him from the back when he went to leave the room. This was his room anyway.

Jungkook- "stay. Its your room. Eat."

I smiled and left the room with a hard beating heart.
