Okay, this is for the guys who skipped the previous chapter. 

Taehyung felt ashamed of himself and tried to kill himself. And that was the last straw for Jungkook, whose emotions burst out. So Jungkook dragged Taehyung to the terrace by his collar so that the two of them could die together. But Namjoon and Seokjin saved them in time and made Jungkook snap out of it and realize what he had done. They decided to show Taehyung that he was worth all the love in this world. 

****************************

"Stay still!!!" Jungkook exclaimed, hitting Taehyung's shoulder lightly. "How can I?! You have been combing those four hair strands of mine for the past half an hour!" Taehyung said, flailing his arms exasperatedly. 

"Shut up! I just want your pigtail to look cute" Jungkook said, putting the small comb on the table before collecting all of Taehyung's hair and forming a fountain on top of his head. 

Right when Taehyung thought Jungkook was finally done, he felt the rubber band being pulled out again for the 1584th time that day. He groaned and swatted Jungkook's hand away. "Leave it. Let's just start baking the cake" he said, storming towards the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, come back. I will finish it this time" Jungkook ran behind him and dragged him back to the room. "Awww, don't pout! I'll finish it this time. Promise" Jungkook said and bent down to kiss Taehyung's pout away. 

"Gimme a second. I got an idea" he said and ran to get a head band. Taehyung sighed heavily. "It will look great now" Jungkook said, putting a black head band on his head before collecting all the hair on his head one last time. 

"If you pull it out again, I'm not even gonna bake the cake" Taehyung huffed. "I won't. I promise" Jungkook chuckled and made sure to collect all the hair perfectly before tying the band. 

"Finally!" Taehyung exclaimed and tried to get up

"Finally!" Taehyung exclaimed and tried to get up. "Wait!!! I have to take a photo!" Jungkook said, running to the living room for his phone. "No one would want to see it" Taehyung muttered once Jungkook was out of ear shot. 

But unfortunately, Jungkook did catch the tail end of his muttering. "Heyyy! I would love to keep staring at you the whole day! Won't you give me that satisfaction?" Jungkook pouted. Taehyung looked up at Jungkook as if he was really surprised. "You want to?" he whispered. 

"Of course! I would stare at you forever, without even sleeping if that is even possible" Jungkook grinned widely and bounced onto the bed, right beside Taehyung. "Come on, now. Kimchiii!" Jungkook sang, making Taehyung chuckle at the childish statement. 

Jungkook smacked Taehyung's thigh immediately. "See?! I was starting to think you forgot how to laugh!" he exclaimed, throwing the phone aside and pushing Taehyung hard. Taehyung fell back with a grunt. 

Jungkook immediately climbed on top of him and cupped his cheeks. Taehyung brought his hands up and rested them on Jungkook's chest. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. 

"I love you, Tae"
"I am sorry, Koo" 

The two of them said at the same time. Jungkook pouted slightly before catching his expression and smiling sadly. He knew what Taehyung was apologizing for. "It was not your fault, Tae. You don't have to say sorry" he said and bent down, capturing Taehyung's lips with his own, sending electric shocks down Taehyung's lips. 

Taehyung weakly tried to push Jungkook away. "It was my fau-" "Hey, none of tha-" "Shh. Let me talk" Taehyung silenced him by placing a long finger on Jungkook's lips. "Okay" Jungkook whispered and moved from his position. He curled up beside Taehyung and waited for him to start talking. 

After a couple of minutes of taking deep breaths, Taehyung finally turned to his side and faced Jungkook. Even though he felt guilty, he stared straight into Jungkook's eyes . 

"You remember that fight?" he asked, his voice coming out in a whisper. "Of course" Jungkook whispered, hooking his arm around Taehyung's waist to provide physical comfort for both, Taehyung and himself. 

"I told you many times that those kind of accusations hurt me. So, after all the time that we were together, when you accused me of cheating on you again and left me alone in the park, it hurt a lot" 

Jungkook took a sharp breath. 

"I was crying on a bench when S-Shinie hyung came. Apparently, he had been stalking me since our visit to Busan after Jin hyung's marriage. But I didn't know that. I wanted to teach you a lesson, Kookie. He suggested that I should go with him to Busan for a week or so and not tell you about it so that you would learn a lesson. 

I told him that you might involve the police into it. So he asked me to go for the night instead. And even though I knew that I wasn't doing the right thing, I went. I knew you would panic, but I still did it because of a stupid lesson that I wanted to teach you. So it is my fault" Taehyung said, his eyes sparkling with unshed tears. 

Jungkook's heart hammered loud against his chest as he took in the information. 

So Taehyung did write that suicide note. He wrote it to teach Jungkook a lesson. So everything was Jungkook's fault after all

"Kookie...." Taehyung called out gently, noticing how Jungkook slowly lost himself in his thoughts with a pained expression on his face. "Jungkookie..." Taehyung called out again. "Huh?" Jungkook asked, coming out of his daze. 

"It is not your fault, Koo" Taehyung said, bringing his hand up and stroking Jungkook's cheek gently. "Then it isn't your fault either, Tae" Jungkook said, repeating Taehyung's actions. "Yeah. When I told you what happened, I realized that it wasn't exactly my mistake either" Taehyung whispered. 

"Good" Jungkook said, leaning forward for another kiss. 

He jumped back on top of Taehyung, deciding to take the next step. But before he could bring his hand down to Taehyung's boxers, Taehyung pushed him off of him harshly. 

"W-What's wrong?" Jungkook asked, afraid that he might have done something wrong. 

"I-I don't deserve it. I know it was not my fault, but I still don't deserve it. I was tainted repeatedly, Kookie. I am not pure anymore" Taehyung said with a heavy voice, tears gathering in his eyes once again. 

But he had decided not to shed those tears for that specific reason ever again. So he contained them in.
