Laugh Now Cry Later

"It'll be okay."

Jungkook p.o.v

I feel my heart start to race as I stare down at my phone. I quickly answer it not wanting to raise any more suspicion. "H-hello?..." -I try to say firmly but it ends up sounding shaky.
"Hey, you okay?" -I hear come from the other line. No I'm not "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" "I don't know you just sounded a bit off that's all." -He replies. "Nah, I'm fine don't worry." "So anyway why did you call me ?" -I ask. "Well I was wondering if you might want to hang out tomorrow? If you're free of course." Wow someone actually asked me that. Somethings wrong.
"Taehyung are you feeling alright?" -I ask genuinely confused. "W-what do you mean?" "Why would someone like you want to hang out with someone like me." -I say saddened. " Jungkook I don't care what others think about you or what you think about yourself. I think you're pretty cool." "So I'm gonna ask again, do you maybe wanna hang out tomorrow?" -He repeats. I was quite shocked but happy to say the least.
"Well in that case... Sure." -I reply happily. "Okay then meet me at the cafe at 3:30 tomorrow." -Tae says sternly. "I'll be there." "Okay well I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow... bye." -I say before hanging up my phone and tossing it back onto my bed.
I looked back down to my arms as I felt my smile slowly drop from my face. I stand up pain immediately shooting through my whole body from the beatings the day prior. I slowly make my way over to my bathroom. As I walk in I completely ignore the mirror not wanting to look at myself.
I strip my clothes before turning on the shower and adjusting the temperature of the water a couple times before stepping in. I feel the hot water hit my back. I wince in pain as the water runs down to my arms getting inside the cuts I had just made.

*30 minutes later*

After taking a long shower and cleaning the blood off my floor I was finally ready to go to bed. I'm hoping tomorrow will go good, I'm hella nervous. I crawl into my bed pulling the covers over my small body. I close my eyes as I feel my body start to relax before drifting off to sleep.

*The next morning*

I slowly open my eyes taking in the light. I yawn before slowly sitting up in attempt to wake my body up. I look down and my eyes become locked on my arms remembering yesterday. I snap myself out of the daze and roll out of bed. As I put my feet on the ground I was already feeling sore.
I decided to take another shower because those mental breakdowns when you sit on the shower floor and let the water hit you for some reason just hit different.

After my shower I quickly went over to my closet and start rambling through every piece of clothing I owned before deciding on a navy blue shirt with ripped black jeans. I throw them on before taking one good look in the mirror. Good enough I thought. I'm praying to god that my mom isn't home and if she is let's hope she's asleep.
I walk to my door slipping my black and white high top converse on before slowly opening my bed door and walking out. Step by step I slowly make it to the front door. I look over to see my mom passed out on the floor thankfully. I sigh in relief before making my way out of the house.

*At the Cafe*
Taehyung p.o.v

I sat down at the same booth that me and Jungkook had sat at the day prior. The sun glared through the window as I watched for the younger to appear in my eyesight. My stomach started to churn due to the nervousness. Soon a young petite boy came into my sight. He smiled at me and I smile back.
  The bell at the top of the door rang indicating that he had just entered . I wave him over "Over here"- I say with a smile. It's nice to see him smile for once.
"Hey" -I greeted him. " H-hey" -He replies in a nervous tone. "You okay?" -I ask. "Oh y-yeah I'm fine." -He says giving me a reassuring smile.
  "So what do you wanna order?"-I ask handing him the menu. " Uhh I'll just take a chocolate milk shake." Woah that's a lot of calories I could never. He hands me the menu back before I sit it on the table. "Are you getting anything?"-He asks.
"Oh no I'm not thirsty or anything right now."-I lie, I'm literally of thirst.
"Well okay then." I look over to him as I start to admire him. His eyes are such a beautiful shade of hazel, his nose perfectly shaped, his lips oh my god his lips are so perfect and kissable they are a light shade of pink. I couldn't stop the thought of tasting them from coming into my head. God he's so perfect.

Jungkook p.o.v

I feel Taehyungs gaze on me. He thinks I'm ugly doesn't he. I start to feel more and more insecure the longer he looks at me. I'm such a freak, I know... "Hey, Taehyung I need to run to the bathroom real quick." -I say before rushing off to the restroom to calm my upcoming panic attack before going into one of the stalls and locking it.

Taehyung p.o.v

"Hey, Taehyung I need to run to the bathroom real quick." I hear him say snapping me out of my daze. I see him rush off quickly leaving me in confusion. I sit there for a while before deciding to go check on him. Getting up from the booth I then walk to the restroom opening to door and walking in. The second I walk in I hear little muffled cries coming from one of the stalls.
"Jungkook is that you?" -I say softly trying not to startle him. " Oh, Taehyung... I'm fine don't worry about me."-I hear him say in a broken tone. "Jungkook, let me in."-I say knocking on the stall door. " Taehyung I told you I'm fine." "I said let me in."-I say a bit more sternly.
  I soon here the door being unlocked and slowly pushed open revealing a crying boy. "Jungkook.." "What?.." I pull him into a hug "Tell me what's wrong." -I say " I can't..." -He replies " What do you mean you can't?"-I ask becoming more worried. "I just can't Taehyung." " Okay just tell me when you're ready okay?" " Thank you..." -He says gripping my shirt right before crying even harder on my shoulder. His cries broke my heart. In that moment I wanted to kill whoever has hurt him. " it's going to be okay."-I reassure him.

(A/N. Sorry for the wait I've been busy sleeping and eating my life away 😤😭)
