Falling Back Together

*11* (Jungkook's Memories)

"Hyung" Jungkook said looking at Namjoon busy on his phone. They were currently in his dorm. "How are you planning to deal with this?" This was something that had been going on Jungkook's mind all day, besides the story of Kim Jieun.

"To be honest, I don't know. I talked it with Seokjin hyung and Yoongi hyung, but that fucker is stubborn and we have nothing on him" Namjoon told Jungkook not looking up from his phone. "Even if Taehyung reports it we will need proof and only that would get him out of this shit. Taehyung has said he won't report" He said. "For now Kook, we can only keep him safe. I don't want that bastard to do same things he did to Ji..." Namjoon's voice shook slightly at the remembrance of past, "I can't let him get away with it this time Kook"

Jungkook looked down at the book in his lap he had brought to read but he had only been staring at cover. He went over the days events in his head for millionth time now. No matter what he did, he couldn't take Taehyung off his mind, remembering his soft smile from day one, the curiosity and emotions flashing too quickly on his face while reading any book that he caught from momentarily glances he would took at him in library and he kept comparing them to how helpless he looked on that night or how lifeless he looked today. The way Taehyung would smile at him kindly despite him thinking that Jungkook was also homophobic, Jungkook had grown a sense of protection towards him. If things had been different Jungkook would have stood up for him himself, made sure he never felt alone, not let his smile disappear. Jungkook shook away the thoughts that are tugging at his heart. He knew he will only be hurt at the end.

He did not know when he dozed off but when Jungkook opened his eyes to bright sunlight seeping through windows which had thin pink curtains on them giving pinkish glow to the room. He is sleeping on his bed, tugged neatly into comforter unlike how he usually sleeps surrounded by books. He checked his clock, its said ten that meant he missed his morning classes and his early morning run; just what he needed to add up to his low scores like cherry on the top. It was of no use to attend sincpe his classes ended by 2 PM including off periods. He got up from his bed and headed to kitchen after cleaning his bed and folding his comforter, as he remembered about Namjoon. The elder was sitting on dining table doing something on his laptop. In front of him was a big amount food and empty cartons, looks like breakfast for a bunch of people instead of one but Namjoon was the only one sitting there, did he eat all of this? Jungkook thought and eyed Namjoon who does not have a single fat on his body... looking like the businessmen who are always on the front pages of business magazines.

"Morning hyung" Jungkook greeted taking place next to Namjoon. Namjoon gave him a warm smile showing his dimple, Jungkook would never deny the warmth and sense of belonging this smile filled him with so he smiled back as wholeheartedly as he could. But the smile fail as soon as Namjoon pushes towards him one of the cartons which were still warm.

"Eat" Namjoon looked at him, "I invited Jimin and Taehyung for breakfast earlier but you were sound asleep" Namjoon tells him as he opens one carton for himself, Jungkook now knew that his friend has not ate the empty cartons by himself and he chuckled. "Why are you laughing?" Namjoon asked at sudden reaction.

"I thought you ate them alone" Jungkook smiled, his bunny teeth full on display.

Namjoon's face showed annoyance at younger's statement but his eyes were soft and he smiled too. "I was waiting for you but now I doubt my decision" Namjoon said opening one of the cartons for himself, faking a pout.

Jungkook is now full on laughing. "Hyung you don't know how to pout" he said laughing, "You are cuter than Tae..." Jungkook stopped midsentence, feeling his blood rush to cheeks. Now its Namjoon's turn to tease him.

"So Taehyung is cute" Namjoon had a smug looking smile on his face. But Jungkook had lost his humorous stance already, his happy bubble popped and was now replaced by grimace. He starts eating his food. "Whats wrong Kook?" Namjoon asked.
