Secrets | KOOKV

Twenty Three

Taehyung silently stared at his hands, unable to say anything as Jungkook sat next to him.

They were in the place where Jungkook asked to date him, both of them as silent as ever as they looked at the beautiful sunset.

The blonde wanted to ask a lot of questions, but all he could do was to wait for Jungkook to open up to him.

He couldn't forget the horrified look on the ravenette's face when he had seen him earlier, didn't expect him to hear and listen to everything Jungkook and Yoongi talked about.

He thought Jungkook would explain there and then, but instead of doing so, he dragged Taehyung out of the university and drove him to this place.

They didn't talk.

All they did was to stay silent throughout the whole drive, and Taehyung feared he'll start suffocating if this goes on any longer.

He breathed in, slowly turning his head to stare at Jungkook's face. He looked so conflicted which stopped Taehyung from opening his mouth to say a word.

The crease on the ravenette's forehead deepened as he stared at the sunset. This made Taehyung sigh, turning his attention once more on his clasped hands resting on his lap.

A loud frustrated sigh came out of the ravenette, making Taehyung flinch.

"I know you have a lot of questions on your mind right now." Jungkook uttered in a low voice.

Taehyung played with his fingers in uncertainty. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me anything." He responded in almost a whisper.

Another sigh came out of the ravenette's lips as he turned to look at Taehyung.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you.. I'm just uncomfortable.." Jungkook scratched the back of his head.

Taehyung smiled encouragingly as he stared at the ravenette's face. He saw him draw another deep breath before looking down on his hand.

"My parents enrolled me in Seoul Uni after getting suspended in Bangtan Uni.... it's not your fault, okay." Jungkook immediately added upon seeing Taehyung's sad face.

The blonde looked down. Even though Jungkook tells him it's not his fault, he knows he's the one to be blamed. If he didn't get the ravenette in trouble, he wouldn't be suspended in the first place.

"Hey.. I told you it's not your fault." Jungkook suddenly cupped his face, making Taehyung flinch.

He stared at his face with a smile.

"Don't blame yourself. It's nothing to be sad about." Jungkook reassured.

"Then why didn't you tell me? Why are you pretending to attend class in our school?" Taehyung asked in a confused tone.

Jungkook sighed. "Well at first I never really intended to, but when you came to my house and asked me to go back and attend school... I found myself doing so."

"You could've told me." Taehyung retorted back.

"I know, but as the days go by, I start to enjoy being next to you. You made me do what I really want and not just do what I was told to." Jungkook honestly said, making Taehyung gulp.

"Why don't you talk to your parents about this? Maybe they would -" Taehyung wasn't able to finish his sentence, seeing the sad smile on Jungkook's face.

"They won't listen to me." Jungkook uttered. He looked away, eyes gazing on the setting sun.

"Say.. do you want to go somewhere with me?" Jungkook suddenly asked which made Taehyung furrow his brows.
