"wow," taehyung breathed.
ring!!! ring!!! "fuck." he felt his phone vibrating in his jacket and grimaced, getting up from their intimate position. "sorry, i have a call," he gestured to his phone and walked to the far corner of the studio, leaving jungkook lying on the ground in shock, a flustered puddle of goo.
wow. he kissed me. he kissed. me. jungkook tried to sit up, but then felt his pants and back wet with paint. he groaned, slapping his head with his hand, then growling after realizing his hand was also covered in paint.
he gave up and decided to just lay there on the ground until taehyung was done with his call.
taehyung picked at the paint splatters on his jacket and t-shirt nervously, answering the unknown number.
"hello? taehyung?" he knew the voice immediately. it hadn't changed one bit. but it sounded more.. broken, in a way. fallen apart.
"dad."
he hadn't talked to either of his parents for a couple of years now. he didn't want to. they brought back unwelcome memories, and just hearing his dad's gruff voice now made goosebumps bubble up onto his smooth tan skin.
"hey. i know we haven't talked in awhile--"
"yeah," taehyung interrupted, uncomfortable and upset. "what do you need to talk to me about?"
"i have some bad news."
taehyung froze. "what is it?" he asked uncertainly.
"your mother.." the voice on the other end trailed off after mentioning his mother, seeming to doubt his decision.
"what about her." his eyebrows furrowed in uncertainty, not really wanting to find out what his father would say next. what could have happened with my mom?
"i found out recently after i got a call from the hospital." taehyung's heart dropped to the floor with a sad plop. "she passed away."
taehyung felt something dark stir in him. his neglected emotions that he had spent so much time trying to bury erupted from inside out, overflowing through his eyelids. he tried to blink the tears away, but his eyelashes became dark and stiff with his salty tears, and small sobs erupted from his chest.
at the sounds, jungkook's head perked up from the ground. "tae?"
when he got no answer, he decided to finally get up, not minding the paint soaking his body, only caring if his boyfriend was okay. "taehyung? are you okay?" he stepped towards the area where taehyung was, and gasped when he found him sitting in the corner with his back against the wall.
his head was angled back, allowing tears to relentlessly drip down his handsome face in stripes. one arm weakly held his phone up to his ear, the other resting lifelessly on the ground. "i-i have to-o go, dad. i'll c-call you b-back when i ca-an." and with that he pressed the "end call" button.
"tae.." taehyung looked to jungkook, who was crouched down to his level, hands covered with now-dry paint reaching for his cheeks. taehyung's eyes were so filled with sorrow and true grief that jungkook knew was deeper than he could ever know. it broke his heart to see taehyung like this.
"i-i'm here, babe." his eyes filled up with tears quickly, heart aching for taehyung. both hands trembled as he tried to wipe his boyfriend's tears away. he leant forward, hand reaching to taehyung's hair, patting it in a soothing manner. taehyung sobbed uncontrollably now, head and body falling as one into jungkook's reassuring hold. his tears soaked jungkook's sweater front completely, but jungkook didn't mind one bit. he just rubbed circles into taehyung's back and ran his other hand calmingly through taehyung's locks. they stayed like this for a while.
"sshhh... it's okay," jungkook would do anything to make his boyfriend feel better. anything. he pressed a soft kiss to taehyung's temple.
"k-kook."
"hmm?" he brushed taehyung's stray hairs away from his tear-soaked forehead.
"thank you." taehyung hummed into jungkook's touch.
