SNAPCHAT | TAEKOOK

⑦⑧

Two weeks passed and Taehyung hadn't had the chance to talk to Jungkook at least once. He had neither seen the younger nor Yoongi and by now the blonde was sure that they were avoiding him.

The only time he heard from Jungkook was when he posted something in his Snapchat story, but it were mostly photos of him at the gym or some motivating words. At some point Taehyung tried to message him over Snapchat but he ended up getting blocked a few days afterwards.

"Tae, are you ready?" Seokjin shouted from outside the dining room and Taehyung got up, walking to his brother.

"Are you sure you can go? You look like you haven't slept for days." Namjoon questioned, voice laced with concern.

"Four days should be accurate.." Taehyung murmured, his brothers' eyes widening in disbelief.

"What?! Four days? Are you insane?!" Seokjin shook the blonde's shoulders.

"Is it because of Jungkook?" Namjoon asked, eyes meeting Taehyung's tired ones.

The youngest nodded slowly, but without hesitation. Namjoon sighed and patted his head, then grabbing both of his hands.

"Taetae, please stay at home for today and get some sleep, it's not good for your body." he said softly, trying to knock some sense into him.

"No," was the blonde's instant answer, "there's no way I'm not going when there's a chance I could run into Jungkook."

Taehyung then walked towards their limousine, his brother's still iffy about his decision. But they knew they couldn't stop him because Taehyung was a stubborn bitch. The drive to the school was silent and when they finally halted, the model could already heard the screams from his fans. Sighing, he got out of the limousine and was instantly surrounded by squealing and screaming girls.

Sometimes Taehyung wondered what happened to the two guys he beat up since he told them he was gay. He had actually expected the news to be spread immediately but it seems like they were to scared to do so. On the one hand Taehyung was glad that they kept his secret but on the other hand he just wanted to let everyone know that he didn't give a shit about women. As he continued walking with people clinging to his sides, he managed to pick up certain words from someone in the screaming crowd.

"I'm so glad Taehyung-oppa stopped hanging out with this fag."

"You mean Jeon Jungkook?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen him lately. I hope he broke his legs or something."

Taehyung was furious. No one talks bad about his Jungkook, especially not when they didn't know anything about him at all.

"EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" he screamed, hands balled to fists, eyes turning dangerously dark.

The crowd backed away, some were confused, others scared but all of them were surprised. They had never seen Taehyung shout like that.

"DON'T YOU REALISE HOW FUCKING HARD IT IS FOR ME TO ENDURE ALL OF THIS SHIT EVERY SINGLE DAY I COME TO SCHOOL!? DO YOU EVEN ONCE THINK ABOUT HOW I FEEL?! I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR FOUR FUCKING DAYS AND I FEEL HORRIBLE AND SICK, YET YOU GUYS CLING TO ME AND TRY TO MAKE ME NOTICE YOU INSTEAD OF ASKING HOW I FEEL!! AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT GIRLS, I AM GAY SO GET AWAY FROM ME AND GIVE ME SOME SPACE FOR ONCE!!"

Everything was quiet, no one dared to speak up. Taehyung heard nothing, except his own erratic breathing, tears pooling in his eyes from all the exhaustion and stress.

"And by the way," he croaked out, "I already have someone I care about and he's the greatest, loveliest and cutest person I've ever met. Some here may know him but they only talk bad about his because they've never tried to get to know him better, why don't you all start with being more friendly..."

Without saying another word, Taehyung began walking and the crowd parted to let him through, no one daring to follow him. When he entered the school he walked Jimin who greeted him with a warm hug.

"Where are all your fangirls?" he joked when seeing that no one followed them.

"Check Insta and you'll see." Taehyung mumbled tiredly.

Confused, Jimin pulled out his phone and was immediately met with several videos of Taehyung.

"This is crazy, that literally happened five minutes ago." Taehyung sighed and leaned onto his locker, sliding down to the floor.

The longer Jimin watched, the bigger his eyes got. After he was done, his mouth was wide agape and he turned to his best friend.

"Are you insane?! Why did you confess that you're gay? There's no way for the media to not notice it, Taehyung!" Jimin grabbed his shoulders, worry visible in his eyes.

The blonde only shrugged his shoulder, too exhausted to explain. Jimin sighed and pulled him to his feet.

"Look Tae, you're my best friend and I trust you that what you did right now was the right decision." he said softly, Taehyung's head hanging low, "But tell me, why did you even say all of this in the first place?"

"Some girls said mean things about Jungkook... I-I don't know what came over me b-but somehow I suddenly felt so angry that I just had let it all out.." he whispered.

'Oh god, this is worse than I thought, Jungkook needs to forgive him as soon as possible or else Tae is gonna go crazy...' Jimin thought as he hugged his best friend tightly, soothingly stroking his back.
