The apocalypse // BTS x Jungkook

Chapter 15

Pausing, he looked at all the faces turned towards him, some relaxed with a small, fond smile, others a guilty look on their face. Behind him Yoongi had stopped chasing him, instead wrapping his long arms around the smaller's waist, digging his head into his neck and inhaling his scent. It calmed Jungkook down and he released a breath of anxiety before looking towards the group again. Breathing in again, he moved towards the kitchen table where everyone was, an arm still wrapped around his waist for comfort. There was two spaces left at the end of the table, one next to Hoseok and the other next to Jin, both of them giving him a kind, comforting smile. He decided to sit next to Jin, knowing that he might need his oldest hyung next to him.

Breakfast was already on the table, pancake and syrup with a bunch of different toppings all around the table. Choosing to talk to them all after breakfast, he reached for the stack of pancakes taking one onto his plate and placing the stack back into the middle. One after the other, they all began taking pancakes and toppings onto their plates and beginning to eat. They realised that Jungkook wanted to talk after breakfast, so they only had small talks between them, mostly staying quiet as they ate.

After dinner, ( Jin and Yoongi washing the plates with Jungkook drying them and Hoseok putting them away ) they decided to go to the living room for the much-needed talk. Once they had all sat down, nobody spoke, no one knew what to say. However, as soon as Jungkook got the courage to speak and opened his mouth, he was bombarded by a bunch of apologise, all overlapping each other as everyone tried to speak.

Chuckling a bit, Jungkook just sat there on the coach, just looking at the guilty faces that were looking at him. Once all the apologise died down he sat up straight again, looking at each of the members in their eyes before talking to them. Of course Hoseok, Yoongi and Jin were not apart of it as they had already apologised and been forgiven.

"I'm not mad." He spoke confidently, chuckling again as the three looked at him surprised.

"You're not?" Taehyung spoke timidly, glancing at the other members before looking back at the youngest.

"No, I'm not." He said again, hearing exhales of relief leave the men surrounding him. "I guess I was more worried that you'd leave me when you found out what I was hiding. And it's not that I don't trust you because I do, I just didn't want you to see me differently or take advantage of me like others did. Deep down I knew that you wouldn't, but I was just too afraid that I just couldn't tell you. Before all this happened, many people would try to befriend me but not because they liked me but because of how smart I was. They all wanted me to do their homework for them or help them cheat in tests or other things. It became hard for me to trust others because of that so I just stayed away from everyone. I guess that's why I didn't want to tell you what I had been doing because I thought you might take it from me at first. But now I know different. I know all of you are genuine people and are not here just because I'm smart. You are here because you care, and you have no idea how much that makes me feel happy. I know now that I can trust you, so I will. I'm ready to show you what I've been hiding."

"Are you sure, we don't want to rush you. We were just curious, but we now know how important it is to you so if you don't want to show us we'll listen this time." Namjoon said cautiously, worrying about the younger.

"No, it's fine, I don't need to keep it from you anymore. I trust you all."
