Chapter 32: Decision, Why?

Jungkook decided to fix the rumors on his own, even though he knew it will be his big loss. He thought that will be the only way to end Taehyung's misery. But it will also cause his financial losses.

He went inside Hoseok's office, but to his surprise, he saw Taehyung was already there.

“Jungkook, finally you're here. I was expecting you to come. I have good news for you.” Hoseok started to speak.

“I came here to tell you something, Hyung. But you can tell me what is it about first.” Jungkook responded, breaking his stare contest with Taehyung.

“Taehyung decided to accept my proposal about you two. The news about it will be published in an hour.” Hoseok excitedly said.

“Why you didn't wait for my decision, Hyung? I was about to reject it.” Jungkook retorted.

“Why?” They heard Taehyung speak.

They both looked at Taehyung, who seemed to be disappointed with Jungkook's decision.

“To cut the ties with you, I realized I'm the reason for your miseries. I think ending my connections with you will solve everything.” Jungkook explained.

“But, Jungkook, I can't turn them back. The decision has already been made, and the public will see it right away.” Hoseok stated.

“You should at least wait for my decision, Hyung.” Jungkook replied, pushing his hair to the back.

“I did, I did wait for you, but the press is eager for this big news. With Taehyung's decision, every rumor will be cleared. Isn't that the best for both of you after what happened last night?” Hoseok inquired.

“I still have a hangover, Hyung, let's continue this later. I need to cool down.” Jungkook sighed and went out of the office.

“Jungkook”

“Jungkook!”

He stopped walking when he heard Taehyung's voice. Taehyung stood up in front of him while panting heavily after chasing him.

“Why you didn't call me last night? I've been waiting for you to at least text me.” Taehyung asked him.

“Why would I need to do that? After all, I'm in a good condition.” Jungkook retorted.

“Because I'm worried, I got concerned about what might happen to you that time. Do you know how much you scared me just because you didn't text me back?” Taehyung stated.

“Do I have to apologize for that?” Jungkook inquired, looking at him emotionless.

“That's… not what I mean, Jungkook. I just want you to be considerate. I should have known that I shouldn't wait for you. I just wasted my time on a person like you who doesn't even know how to appreciate someone's kindness.” Taehyung said, obviously annoyed by Jungkook's manner.

“You're right, I'm that kind of person, so why did you even bother to accept Hyung's proposal? In the end, you will regret it anyway.” Jungkook replied with the same careless tone.

“Why? Don't you know that it will benefit you as well? After all, you're the one who needs me, Jungkook. You're the one who will profit between us the most. Isn't that what you want?” Taehyung sneered.

“That's not what I want.”

Taehyung was surprised to hear Jungkook's response.

“I don't want you to look at me that way. I don't want you to think that I just require you for money, Taehyung. I wanted to reject Hyung's proposal because I want you to like me. But how will I do that if you can't forgive me?”

Taehyung was sure, he can see tears in Jungkook's eyes and even his tone showed sorrow.

“I told you, I won't forgive you. I can't do that, Jungkook.” Taehyung shot back.

“Why? Because I'm not Jimin Hyung, no? You can't like me because I'm not him. Will you easily forgive me if I'm him? Do you hate me that much, that's why you can't forgive me?

What else do I have to do to show you that I genuinely changed, Taehyung? Do I have to suffer much more than this situation of mine? Do I have to be Jimin Hyung is you can like me too?

But I'm not him, Taehyung, I'm not Jimin, the person you like. I'm far from him, he's genuine while I'm not. I'm just a stupid person in your eyes.

I'm sorry because I'm not him, I tried to be a likable person like you wanted to be, but I still failed to do that. What do you want me to do, Taehyung? Am I still not enough for you?

What else, Taehyung?

Because it's hurting me right now, it hurts here, Taehyung.” Jungkook spoke, pointing to his heart with tears falling in his eyes.

“What? Are you acting pitiful now? Do you think this will work, huh?! No, none of your pitiful words will make me forgive you. Nice acts, by the way. Don't do that again, you suck.”

Taehyung turned around to leave Jungkook.

“Okay, I just want to tell you that I'm not a perfect person. If you want to believe that I'm acting, that's okay for me. But Taehyung, I hope you believe this, I am deeply sorry for what I did in the past. Trust me, I changed my personality just for you to like me. I have liked you since the day I saw you. I apologized for making your life hell. I hope, one day, you will acknowledge what I did just to protect you, even if it cost my life.”

When Taehyung heard the elevator ding, tears started to fall from his eyes after listening to Jungkook.

Why is he getting hurt?

He didn't understand why he felt a pang in his heart, but he knew he shouldn't feel this way. He doesn't like how his heart hurts just because of Jungkook. He hates it.

But why did part of his heart wants to believe what Jungkook said?

He admits that he felt guilty but still can't help but hate Jungkook because Jungkook made him feel a weird feeling that he doesn't know. He hated Jungkook for making him cry and felt guilty like this.
