Jungkook sat down next to Taehyung's bed, holding his hand as he glared daggers at the nurse to keep him away. Taehyung chuckled softly, but gently slid his hand out of Jungkook's and turned away slightly, still hurt by Jungkook's previous litigations.

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung, tilting his head in confusion. Jungkook thought that helping Taehyung get that nurse away from him would qualify as instant forgiveness. He sighed softly and tapped Taehyung's shoulder, trying to turn him back towards him more. "Tae, talk to me. If we don't talk this out, this whole misunderstanding will only get more unpleasant between us," Jungkook professed, giving the nurse a glance that told him to get lost. The nurse put his hands up as if to defend himself and stepped into his office. "Let me know if he needs anything," he stated before closing the door to give them more privacy.

Taehyung sighed in defeat and turned his cold, empty piercing eyes on Jungkook. That gaze stung Jungkook almost instantly as he touched his chest for a brief second, trying to understand what he was feeling. This was another emotion that Jungkook had never experienced before and he didn't quite understand why he was enduring all these unknown sentiments. "What is it that we need to talk about?" Taehyung asked, his voice hollow and devoid of any emotion. It was almost as if he were dead inside and Jungkook sighed loudly.

"You saw me in the cafeteria, correct?" Jungkook asked as he leaned back in his chair slightly. Taehyung's eyes narrowed dangerously, giving Jungkook his answer as he felt that gaze slash through him before Taehyung even spoke. "So what?" Taehyung asked with a hushed tone of deep resentment. "Are you going to tell me you fucked her?" Taehyung added this question, turning his back fully to Jungkook now.

Jungkook stood up and gripped Taehyung's shoulders firmly, turning Taehyung to push his back fully into the mattress. Taehyung stared up at Jungkook's sharp gaze with wide, almost fearful eyes now. "You will look at me when I answer you," Jungkook declared forcefully, his grip tightening on Taehyung's shoulders in anger. Taehyung nodded softly, still staring at Jungkook fearfully as Jungkook pulled his hands away slightly. "To answer your question, no, I didn't," Jungkook stated honestly, noticing the shift of emotion hidden deep within Taehyung's irises. "R- really? But then why was her hand on your..."

"I didn't fuck that girl," Jungkook repeated aloud, trying to understand why he didn't actually do so. "I mean, she's literally just someone everyone sticks their dick in without any fear of attachment, but... I couldn't do it," Jungkook added, looking away as the honesty penetrated Taehyung to his core. This. This was why they needed to talk things out. "I- I see," Taehyung whispered softly in embarrassment for the way he'd acted, shifting into a sitting position. He stared at his hands in his lap, trying to pretend he wasn't jealous this entire time. "I understand though," Taehyung finally spoke, forcing an awkward laugh. "I- I mean, it's not like we're together or anything. You're free to do what you will when you want with whoever you want. If you had been intimate with her, it's not l- like I have a right to say anything," Taehyung whispered incoherently as if talking to himself more than Jungkook.

Jungkook sighed softly in relief, scratching the back of his head as he sat down on the edge of Taehyung's bed. "Yeah, so no hard feelings?" Jungkook asked, leaning towards Taehyung. Lost in thought, Taehyung nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah," Taehyung whispered once more, glancing up into Jungkook's expectant gaze. His heart hurt at his own words, but sadly, they were true. Jungkook sighed once more in relief as he leaned back onto his hands. "Thank God," Jungkook exclaimed, glancing over at Taehyung with a large grin. "I thought I was going to have to find a new fuck buddy because of that," Jungkook added, stinging Taehyung with those words even more.
