It was already afternoon when the latter woke up , body aching mostly on his bottom , bruises and hickeys were seen in almost every part of his body. He tried to stretch his body that cause him to wince at the pain he was feeling regretting that he moved.

He sat up rubbing his eyes whilst yawning , hands patting his side only to notice that Jungkook was gone. He stared at the empty space beside him only to sigh afterwards. Frowning at the sight , sadness slowly creeping up inside of him.

" I thought he would change his mind after, I was wrong." Taehyung mumbles to himself , eyes turning glassy as he glance at the empty space beside him.

Guess he really wanted to avoid the attraction he was growing on from me huh.

I really should be happy since it is a right decision after all then, Why does it hurt a little?

Taehyung tried to shrug the feeling that's his heart was aching but somehow he miserably failed since it was really hurting him a lot , even though how many times he denied it . He knows deep inside that he really wants Jungkook to fall in love with him, he really wanted to be with him.

Though it was forbidden to do so.

-------------------------

Taehyung tries to spend his day without thinking this specific person he really adore; he occupied himself from searching for jobs and cleaning stuffs yet strangely somehow finding himself remembering the night they spend together last night, it was too memorable that it keeps on replaying over and over his head, he still feels the touches on his body, the way their body dances on the bed. The sounds they made, how lewd the skin slaps against one another—

He couldn't stop thinking of the male . Taehyung put down aside the picture frame he was just wiping and sat down on the couch , face palming. Irked by himself.

" Fuck it , stop thinking about him Taehyung. It's not worth it." He said to himself , tugging on his hair as if it really helps him clear the thoughts of him on his head.

" You should be happy and thankful that Jungkook is trying to get over his feelings for me because that considers  as cheating on my mom and I don't want an affair to happen..." Taehyung mumbles , staring into his hands.

I'm dirty. Really really dirty.

" I don't want my mother experience another heartbreak to happen , I want my mom to find her own happiness this time and I'm trying to break it. "

Everything was going well at the first time they met , really really well... why did it became like this? Where did it all go wrong? Why did I fall for such temptation like this?

Taehyung decided to stop from cleaning , finally giving up since his own mind was preoccupied with some other things that he wish that could fade away.

" I should call Jimin." Taehyung mumbled fishing out his phone from his pocket , dialing his friend immediately. Seeking rather desperately for some advice or a sermon from his buddy . He thought he needed some since everything he was just wishing and feeling right now is wrong.

After a minute or two from waiting for Jimin , he finally pick up.

" hello Jim---" Taehyung stopped as he heard a sob from the other line , Jimin was crying. He was dumbfounded.

" h-hey what happened to you? You okay there?" Taehyung stammered out.

[ you fucking called me at the wrong timing! I was just crying over this thing i was watching, fucking hell they didn't deserve this. ]

Taehyung seemed to be confuse at the moment but shakes his head. " what were you watching you that made you cry like that you crybaby?"

[ I'm not a crybaby it was just so tragic. It was Banana Fish .]

Taehyung sighed at that , massaging his temples. He finally knew why he was crying hard , Jimin was on his anime marathon once again.

" Then why the hell did you watch it for ? I already told you that it was tragic as fuck."

[ I was tricked by a  fan saying it has good ending. Wait , enough of this topic for a while , why did you called by the way? ]

Taehyung scrunched his face in disgust when he heard how Jimin was blowing his nose through the phone ," can you uhm.. come over here for a while? I need someone to talk this over--- I've been feeling shit here."

[ oh, it seems like important. I'll go after I finish crying! I'll bring snacks over. ]

" Thank you Jimin." He then pressed the end call , putting down the phone to his side and stared at the ceiling.

-----------------------

Not so long ago after the phone call, Jimin with puffy eyes did came over to the Kim's household with a lot of paper bags containing food. He was really worried for his friend and also wondering why he called him just telling to come over his house.

Why? Because Taehyung never let him inside his house,  it is unusual for the latter.

" Tae! I'm here open up!". Said Jimin , knocking up on the door and at the same time he's struggling with the bags of he has on his hands.

Not so long after , the door opened revealing a depressed looking Taehyung with eyes somewhat reddish. Jimin notices it but didn't say anything.

" Let's go inside , I need to talk to you about something." Taehyung hoarsely says picking some of the bags Jimin had on his hands.

Both went inside and Jimin stayed silent , just continuing to roam his eyes around the house since he was unfamiliar to it.  They both settled in the living room. They put the bags of food in the table and both sat on the opposite sofa. Both facing each other.

Jimin cleared his throat to gain his friend's attention and fortunately it did but he was still avoiding eye contact.

" Now that I'm here , what is it that you wanna talk about Tae? Something tells me that its related to Jungkook." Jimin straightforwardly says , observing the reaction of his friend.

Taehyung flinched a little by the mention of his step dad's name finally giving a glance to his friend who got his one eyebrow raised at him.

'Bingo! it was really related to Jungkook.' Jimin thought , only to close his eyes to calm himself from scolding Taehyung. ' he really didn't listen to what I said to him on the other day huh.'

" Taehyung, I've already told you to stay away from him , no matter how much you are attracted to that guy." Jimin says.

" I-I tried Jimin, I really tried. But.. I don't know! I'm being stupid right now I-I'm—"

Jimin cut him off , " so you are aware of what you've done but still continue to do and never really listen to what I told you. Taehyung , you're my best friend but this... What you have done this time?" Jimin irritatingly asks.

Taehyung looked down in shame. " I...slept with him."

'What in the actual fuck'. Jimin sighed in disbelief, massaging his temples. He might really get a headache with what Taehyung said to him , he had done the worse.
