taehyung knows jeongguk is beyond mad at him, and the older can't really blame him, but perhaps if they talked things through, they would come to an agreement. taehyung is optimistic about it, despite the harsh words the younger had thrown at him only a few weeks ago, he knows jeongguk didn't mean them.
perhaps going into the dormitories of the student athletes wasn't a great idea, but jeongguk had moved out into these dorms, and every time taehyung had tried to talk to him privately, the younger would simply shove him away. this was his only choice.
"hey kim, can you loan me some money? i need it for lunch, would you like to see me not eat and starve?" someone random who taehyung has never seen comes up to him, throwing an arm around the boys shoulder causally.
taehyung tries to shove him off, but the latter is persistent. "i don't have any money on me, i'm sorry," taehyung truly doesn't want to put up with this, he's starting to feel anxious.
when the stranger makes it know that he won't be leaving him alone until he complies, taehyung takes out his own lunch money and hands it over, "this is all i have."
"ah, you're so caring kim," the stranger finally let's go of him and scurries out of the hallway.
taehyung sighs, continuing his way to room 204B. once he arrived there, he knocked a few times on the door, waiting patiently for it to be opened. he adjusts his glasses as the door opens and kim yugyeom stares at him like a parasite, "what are you doing here?"
"i need to talk to jeongguk, is he here?" taehyung smiles, despite knowing that he's not welcomed.
yugyeom gives him a weird look, "what do you need him for?"
oh right, no one knows about us being friends. "uh, it's for a class we have together. he needed help," taehyung does his best at the lie, avoiding looking directly at the taller male.
he calls for jeongguk, who upon seeing taehyung, drops his small grin. "i'll handle it gyeom," jeongguk walks out of the dormitory and closes the door behind him.
"i was hoping now that you're more calm we could talk—"
jeongguk angrily takes taehyung's arm in his iron grip and drags him out of the building and into a more secrete area of the courtyard. "let go, you're hurting me," taehyung tries bringing his arm back in, but jeongguk grabs both his arms and holds them in between them.
"i thought i left it clear that i want nothing to do with you. i don't want you to come here ever again, don't ever talk to me. or you'll regret it kim," jeongguk pushes taehyung back, making the older stumble on his feet.
jeongguk is about to turn on his heel and leave, but taehyung grabs his forearm, stopping him from leaving. "just hear me out ok? i didn't want to lie to you, jeongguk you're my best friend! you're my only friend here. please."
a part of jeongguk wants to listen to taehyung, but the opposite happens. jeongguk whirls around and shoves taehyung to the ground, his hand scraping against the pavement followed by nasty cuts that sting like hell.
taehyung cries, not from the physical pain but from the emotional pain he's feeling inside. jeongguk stares at him in shock, unable to comprehend what he just did. "shit tae- i'm, i didn't mean to-" jeongguk tries to help taehyung up, but the older pushes him away.
"i'm sorry i wanted to fix things. but you're not fixable, you're a bad person jeongguk," taehyung stands up, clutching his bleeding hand, "you're the worst person i've ever met, and i wish i hadn't."
jeongguk watches taehyung leave with the final word. something about taehyung calling him the bad person twisted a knife in his chest, but not because he was right. no. taehyung was the bad one here, people like him were the bad ones.
at least that convinced him. and it paved the way for insults and shoves and joining the others in bullying someone who did nothing to fight back. that made jeongguk feel sick when he laid in bed.
a/n yea jeongguk was an ass 😬 it's hard to write him like that when he's an actual baby✨🍼 buuuut character development !!
