99: Don't Blow Up

Dollhouse - Melanie Martinez

____________

Taehyung is having a hard time right now.

No actually that's too simple to describe it as that.

He's going through absolute hell.

Not only is his mind being fucked about what happened earlier with Lisa, growing into a nervous mess when he was in front of Jungkook that he couldn't say anything at the moment at the grocery store, and then seeing his roommates making out in the apartment just for him to come up with an excuse to Jungkook as to why they had to go out to eat at a diner instead of cooking is beyond too much to deal with.

And he can't even speak about anything in concerns of both matters!

He physically can't speak about it because whenever he tries to, his words stumbles over and nothing moves out.

And Jungkook smiling in his joy isn't helping!

Okay, maybe he'll leave the making out part for Yeosang to express to his brother because that's just so weird to talk about. Now onto Lisa, that had Taehyung's mind spiraling and his stomach feeling sick.

He has to tell Jungkook.

This is not a matter that can be just easily brushed aside! His sister is being hurt and he deserves to know about it.

Just thinking about how pissed he would be if he found out another way sends shivers down Taehyung's spine, even urging tears to burn his eyes in complete vulnerability.

He can't lose Jungkook.....

Everything has been going so well between them.....

If he finds out about this through a harsher way of life, Taehyung knows he won't be able to handle it.

And he won't let him be there for him because Taehyung wasn't the one to tell him if he knew about it.

Ugh, fuck why is this so complicated!

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Taehyung was snapped out of his thoughts, meeting Jungkook's line of eyes to see how he is already mid finished with his sandwich.

Meanwhile Taehyung hasn't even touched his.

This guilt is eating him alive.

No more secrets.

They swore no more secrets.

He deserves to know.

This involves his family for fucks sakes!

"I will take it to go, I lost appetite," Taehyung manages to murmur, avoiding his innocent stare.

But Jungkook always seems to read right through him.

He reaches a hand over to clasp on top of Taehyung's, rubbing his knuckles that instantly sent shivers down Taehyung's spine to the remembrance of Lisa's bruised skin.

She's struggling for supplies and is hurt by who knows what.

Jungkook has to know.

"Little Cub," Jungkook whispers, forcing Taehyung's hesitant gaze towards him, seeing the sincere concern in his pitch black eyes, "What's wrong? You were okay before, did I do something bad?"

Noooo don't think that baby.

Taehyung instantly shakes his head, holding Jungkook's hand in his, "No Bunny, don't say that. It's impossible for you to hurt me," He assures him, gulping thickly with his unnerving anxiety, "I...... I need to tell you something that I feel like you should know about."
