24 | the truth untold

"Jungkook... Jungkookie? Wake up!" Taehyung chimed in his beautiful deep voice, bringing Jungkook back to his senses. He was drenched in cold sweat and still kinda sore from the previous night, blurred memories resurfacing as he got back to full consciousness.

Although cloudy shapes of oneiric projections still tarnished his dazed mind, he was at least able to tell dream apart from reality and realize whatever he thought had just happened to him was actually just part of a fright-induced nightmare.

"You slept for over 10 hours.. guess it's kind of my fault if you're this tired hehe" Taehyung lightened the mood with his throaty, cute chuckle but still, it wasn't enough to divert Jungkook from his darkest thoughts.

He was unblinking and motionless, still panting and pale as a ghost, no wonder Taehyung got immediately worried.

"Hey... you look very pale.. did you have a nightmare? I saw you twitching in your sleep.. then at one point you even screamed something like "don't" or whatever.. should I be worried?" the older male told Jungkook, placing a hand on his shoulder. His body was cold as if he had spent the night chilling outside when in actuality, he had been sound asleep in his bed that whole time.

"I.. I'd rather not talk about it" the younger gulped, images from his awful nightmare flashing by like holograms all around him. He tried to rub his eyes a few times to get rid of the picture of him jumping off the roof, a melancholic tune playing in the background, but said picture was like seared on the back of his head, making it impossible for him to shake it off.

"Alright, then. Let me get you some breakfast" the older male gave Jungkook a soft peck on the forehead before putting on some clothes and leaving the room to go and fetch his lover some food, thinking maybe he was just too hungry to properly function.

Jungkook watched as Taehyung shut the door behind him, not before flashing him one of his flawless rectangular smiles, wondering what he did to deserve him, a knot forming in his stomach as he finally took his phone from the nightstand and checked his notifications.

No messages by unknown numbers.

No suspicious updates from Shadowxx.

For all he knew, that stupid account could have belonged to anyone, since he still didn't have enough proof it was Yoongi's.

Then, Jungkook's mind went back to the moment he saw Jimin in his dream. What happened to him? Was he really in danger, had that been a premonitory vision or just a product of his raving mind?

The sudden sound of the door unlocking urged Jungkook to put his phone away and turn his full attention to Taehyung, walking in the room holding a tray full of all sorts of delicacies "Good morning, princess" the boy chirped, his smile brighter than ever. He had brought pancakes with whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top, orange juice on the side.

"Don't worry it's all vegan. Want me to feed you?" Tae happily proposed, bringing a berry close to Jungkook's lips as the younger tried to speak "I'm actually not hungry" he said, shaking his head.

Taehyung frowned, his puppy brown eyes arousing Jungkook's pity.

"Ok. Tell me, what is it?" the older male asked, noticing the younger was being shady. "I.." Jungkook began to say, dying to ask Taehyung one particular question.

"Remember when you told me about that one twitter account... Shadowxx?" saying that name out loud alone was enough to send chills up his spine but he went on nonetheless.

"Yeah.." Taehyung was starting to get interested in the topic as it made him recall he had actually forgotten to tell Jungkook something very important as well.
