Part 17 - Trip To University

October 8th - Monday
'Goodmorning Taehyung.' Elliot said, as Taehyung walked into the kitchen.

'Goodmorning.'

'Are you going to school today?' Sander asked from the other side of the table.

'Yeah, my headache has gotten less, so why not?' Taehyung said with a smile. Behind that smile though was the burning fear of facing Pierre today.

He knew Sander and Elliot would have his back, as he told them the whole story about Saturday night. Elliot felt extremely bad about leaving Taehyung alone and Sander even had gotten mad at the blonde boy. But Taehyung already assured that everything was fine between them.

He himself on the contrary wasn't fine, but that was not important now. He was used to not being fine, so he just adapted to it.

'Okay let's go then.' Sander said while picking up his backpack.

As the three boys were walking to the entrance of their university building, out of nowhere they heard someone yell the redhead's name.

'Taehyung!' The ravenhead yelled from the other side of campus. Taehyung was confused as of where that sound came from and who had yelled his name. But then he saw the younger running op to him.

Jungkook ran straight into the elder's arms.

'Where were you? You completely disappeared on me. I thought you ditched me.' Taehyung said with an angry tone in his voice.

But as soon as he felt the younger cry in his embrace, he softened. He began running his hand up and down Jungkook's back in a comforting way.

'I'm so so so sorry. I wanted to call you but I broke my phone and I wanted to visit you at the art street, but I was to much of a coward. Please Taehyung forgive me.' The younger said while crying in his embrace.

'Kook, what happened when you were gone?'

'Taehyung... I'm broken.' Jungkook said while looking into the redhead's eyes. Taehyung could see all the hidden feeling, emotions and sadness behind them.

'Elliot I'm skipping, can you please inform Elodie that I'm not able to work on our project today?' Taehyung asked his friend.

'Yeah sure, bonne chance.' Elliot retorted pulling Sander with him to their next class.

'Come let's get you to my dorm, okay?'

Jungkook hummed but didn't let go of Taehyung. They stood there in each other's embrace for a few more minutes until a shaking Jungkook finally let go.

-

'Wanna talk about it?' The redhead asked.

The two boys were now standing inside the elder's dorm. Taehyung just made a big cup of chocolate milk for the younger and had gotten him a big, warm blanket. Jungkook needed to be cared for now.

'My brother passed away 2 weeks ago, he was my best friend, my buddy, my everything.' Jungkook began. Taehyung said nothing to that, so the younger took that as a sign to continue talking.

'And I guess I couldn't handle his death very well. This was the first time I cried in two whole weeks.' Jungkook answered. This also was the first time he talked about his real feelings with someone.

'And how do you feel?' The elder asked with a reassuring smile on his face.

'I feel relieved, but now again thinking about my fucked up life makes me scared, it makes me think that there's no future for me.' Jungkook answered sincerely.
