AIN'T MY FAULT | taekook

Chapter 20

■■■■

The silence was killing, shrill through out. It must be morning, he don't know, as he being sitting there from hours, dark curtions protecting him from the harsh rays of sun, his legs are sore from sitting in the same position so long, but pain the only thing that stayed with him, don't ask which pain though.

He sat there alone on the floor, he don't know what to do. The only thing he is being doing is going to uni, teach and wait for a more dreadful day to end. Just to pass every day, but the teaching was something that kept him away from thoughts, to let his mind wonder from dreadful wishes.

So what was he supposed to do, when that reason is not valid, though he don't regret anything. Alone in a apartment, every corner, every walls feels like a cage, which he wanted to exit, but don't want, as he know nothing will change.

It's not like someone is there out for him, worried about is health, someone to pull him out of his darkness to maybe to a little light, just so his body can feel the warmth it's craving, but he knew no one can give him that. No one but him.

The wind touching his face was only a thing that was moving, rest all was stopped, stopped with him from years. The intimidating male, who everyone seems to fear is just a statue, with broken heart and dead eyed.

~▪~▪~▪~▪~

The bright, burning sun rays beamed through white fluffy clouds, creating a pinkish purple cotton candy hue that blended into the cerulean blue sky. Chirping of birds playing a morning melody as many enjoyed it, a shining day anew.

Tarhyung looked up, enjoying the warmth his face feeled, eyes closed. He and his friends were chilling and chatting on the campus grass, students enjoying around.

"Guys tomorrow is Saturday!" Jackson chirped, head rested on Jinyoung's lap, who was brushing his hand's through the male's hairs.

"So, it's not happening for the first time, it's like your poor grades, comes every week." Sehun shrugged, looking at Taehyung who smiled at the joke.

"Asshole. What I'm saying is that we should go out, like clubbing or something." He said enthusiastically. That catched Taehyung's attention, as never being to a club before.

"That's not a bad idea, we need some distraction from this hell studies, what say Taehyung?" Jinyoung asked, Sehun nodding smiling at his side.

"I have never being to one..." Taehyung mumbled, little shy, the three other smiling at it.

"Perfect, I know a great place, it's mostly for uni students, you gonna love it." Jackson patted his back.

"Yeah, me and Jackson have went there before, it's a friendly club, and you should enjoy you life Taehyung." Jinyoung winked, Taehyung smiling nodded.

"Great, we'll meet tomorrow at 8, I'll text you the address." Jackson clapped his hands, whispering something in his boyfriend's ears, both giggling.

"How are you gonna go?" Sehun asked, Taehyung looking up, answering as usual, by a cab.

"Don't worry I'll pick you up." Sehun offered, to which Taehyung agreed, happy to go with a friend.

"I'm so happy we're getting a free lecture, I hope Mr. Jeon's leave to extend for a year." Jinyoung sighed, Taehyung's smile slipping from his face.

The students don't know, as the board didn't want the word to spread, it was announced Mr. Jeon is on a leave for a week, and Kang Wonho got transferd.

Only Taehyung and tecahers present are known to the fact, the student which saved Taehyung, was requested to keep the matter to himself. The guilt was still floating inside Taehyung.

It's been 6 days since he last saw Mr. Jeon, the dark eyes not following him around campus, no one to pull him back and scare the shit out of him. He was glad, but deep down inside his heart was a feeling that he don't know what it is.

The feeling drifting his mind back to the day he hugged the other, the eyes that for the first time looked at him softly, the unusual safety he felt. He don't want to admit but he somewhat wanted to know what the other might be doing out there.

"Ikr, but this will all end, he will return back on Monday, gosh how must someone live with such person." Jackson commented, Taehyung eyes turning at him, without a smile.

"I heard he lives alone, no family, I don't even think he is dating someone." Jinyoung voiced.

"I think he is asexual, never seen him with someone, or maybe no one wants to be with such rude ass." Sehun snickered, Taehyung gulped, he don't want this topic to continue, he don't like it.

"You'll not belive Taehyung, when first he joined, Miss.Song was all over him, some seniors too, but he declined them so coldly that they still shiver in front of him." Jackson laughed.

"He must be lonely." Taehyung mumbled, mind wondering back to the day Mr. Jeon was shaking, looked so vurneble.

"Yeah, but you need to socialise, I doubt he even have friends." Sehun commented, adding more to Taehyung's thoughts, he then turned his head back to the sun, not wanting to be part of this conversation any more.

~▪~▪~▪~▪~

Taehyung walked out of the uni, the classes went extremely long, he felt tired, and since it's Friday he probably gonna take a nap, though excited for tomorrow to go out with his friends.

He was glad they didn't bring Mr. Jeon's topic again, he just felt uneasy, don't like that someone's lonely news should be joked about, as he moved away from his family, he realized the need of someone's company.

He walked by the side of road, one earphone plugged in his left ear, he looked down at his phone, thinking of ordering something, so when he gets home, the food might arrive in time.

A black car came and stopped beside him, which he didn't notice, to busy in thoughts of what to order, he didn't realise till the window was rolled down, revealing Jungkook in the driver seat.

Taehyung looked at the side, confused why a car stopped, but when he saw who was driving, he gulped. He looked around, scared. Jungkook slowly got out, eyes focused on him.

Taehyung noticed how he was not wearing a tie like usual, the shirt's first two buttons opened, he looked up, don't wanna stare more. But was more shocked to see the dark intense eyes looked so tired, dark circles around them, Mr. Jeon himself looked tired,  like not have slept from days.

Mr. Jeon walked towards him, Taheyung taking a step back, the other was still looking at him like he always do, but Taehyung was little scared then usual, mind more focused on the other, he looked diffrent, has he not eating?!.

"Get inside the car." Mr. Jeon rasped, voice that sent a vibration through Taehyung's spine, as he heard it after days.
"Huh?" He looked up, did the other asked him to get inside the car?

"Get in the car." Jungkook voiced firm, something impatient in it. Taehyung was shivering, feared as don't wanna go out with other, don't know what will he do to him.

"In. The. Car." Jungkook now clearly ordered, he opened the passenger door roughly, eyes now cold and harsh. Taehyung slowly got inside the car, heart beating wildly, fingers fidgeting.

Jungkook himself got inside, not sparing Taehyung a glance and started to drive, eyes focused on the road. Taehyung for the whole ride looked down, horror thoughts running in his mind, no one uttered a word, the silence making Taehyung to be on his edge, praying.

The car finally came to a halt, Taehyung slowly looked up, more than shock to see they stopped in front of his apartment.
