AIN'T MY FAULT | taekook

Chapter 35

■■■■

Hoseok patiently watched the younger, who had his eyes fixed outside the window, on a stray dog near a tree. He knew that whatever the younger is going through, is really affecting him, and Hoseok did not like it at all.

Taehyung took a deep breath as fidgeted with his sleeves, biting lips every second due to the emotions he was feeling. He wanted to say something but he didn't know where to start, his shoulders shaking.

Hoseok noticed and placed in hand on the younger's shaking form, sighing.
"Taehyung, don't think too much, please say something." His voice was concerned, and Taehyung nodded gulping.

"Hyung...."He started, voice cracking, and Hoseok smiled a little, encouraging him to continue, though the other still refused to look at him.
"When I came her-e, I was s-o happy, every-one here is nice an-d..." Taehyung blinked his eyes, to avoid tears.

"But then..." Hoseok rubbed him back, but the burrow furrowed.
"Someone is there hyung..." Taehyung choked, a lone tear left his eye.
"Someone who say-s I'm his." Taehyung looked down at his lap, trembling.

"What?" Hoseok asked confused and he moved closure, this surely is not what he thought.
"Hyung he says I'm his, b-ut I don't know ho-w like....we never met before, I- I refused but he- he says I'm his and I should not go agains-t him." Taehyung didn't know what he was saying, but Hoseok was becoming more concerned by each word.

"Taehyung ? what do you mean?" Hoseok whispered, and Taehyung wiped his eyes.
"But hyun-g, he is no-t a bad person, h-e is n-ot like anyone. One moment he is so s-scary and the next he is s-o vulnerable."

"But h-e don't love me hyu-ng. But when he loo-k at me...I don't know, I can't sa-y it but...I don't hate him, but it hur-ts." Taehyung cried and Hoseok turned him, cupping his face.
"Taehyung whoever this is, it does not seem okay, it's wrong and he is hurting you, and you shouldn't let anyone ever control you." He said firmly, wiping the younger's tears.

"He seems like a psycho, and he is affecting you too much, you are no one's okay? You're your own precious being, please. He seems like a creep-

"No no hyung. He is no-t a creep. I can feel it. He is not after my body hyung, he h-e I can't say but there is more to it, much more, and that's w-hat scari-ng me, but I'm not scared of h-im, I don't ha-te him hyung....why?? I don't." Taehyung sobbed, desperately trying to control his tears, but failing miserably.

"Oh Taehyungie..." Hoseok eyes watered as he hugged the male, praising little words for him to calm down, Taehyung let out all his frustration and fear through the tears, hopelessly trying to erase the pain in his heart. He wanted to say so many more, but he knew he couldn't, not until he himself found more deep into it.

"Taehyung I don't know what is right or what is wrong, but what I know is whoever this is, he is not treating you properly. And I won't let anyone treat you like that, so tell me who's he?" Hoseok's voice got serious as he spoke, and Taehyung stilled in his arms.

He can't say Jungkook's name. He pulled away and avoided eye contact, Hoseok noticed and closed his eyes.
"Taehyung, who is he?" He asked again a little softly, but Taehyung just shook his head, mumbling a sorry.

"Taehyung please tell me, is he someone I know? one of your friend? Taehyung?" Hoseok asked desperately, but Taehyung didn't have the courage to answer that, only whispering apologies.
"Taehyung-

Hoseok was cut between with a ring from Taehyung's phone, both male turned their eyes on the device, the younger quickly took it, and his eyes widened when he looked at the called id.

Hoseok noticed this, and looked at Taehyung, who was starting to get scared.
"Taehyung who's calling? it's him right?" Taehyung looked at the older, biting his lips, he moved a little and picked the call, as it was already ringing for a time. He doesn't want to anger the other, again.

"Hel-lo" He mumbled, voice hoarse, he looked at Hoseok who was staring at him concerned. 
"Where are you?" Jungkook's voice was hard from the other line, making a shiver run down Taehyung's spine.

"I'm out." Taehyung voiced out, voice low.
"You're not home, I asked where are you?" The other side seemed angry by how hard and cold his tone was. 
"I'm wi-th my fr-iend." Taehyung tried to sound less scared, but he can hear the deep breaths of the other from the line.

"I'm at your apartment. Come here." Jungkook was obsivally ordering, and Taehyung eyes widened as he looked at Hoseok, he can't leave him here, the other will not allow. He gulped and gripped the phone.
"I can't pl-eas-"

"I want you here. Now." Jungkook's voice was dangerously low, dripping with venom making the younger quiver in fear. He thought of something helplessly,

"But-"

"Come back now." With that Jungkook ended the call, Taehyung looked at the phone with a scared expression. He quickly packed his things, hurriedly getting up.
Hoseok looked wide eyed at him as the younger was practically trying to run out.

"Hey hey, where are you going? what happened?" Taehyung looked down at the male pleading.
"Please hyung I have to go, I'll call you." Taehyung's voice was almost crying and Hoseok got out of his seat.

"Where? Okay, I'm coming with you-
" NO! Please I'll call you, hyung I'll be fine." He said with scared wide eyes. Hoseok looked at him shocked. But the younger was looking at him desperately, so sighed, and held his shoulders.

"I'm just a call away, take care and don't cry, no one is worth it." Taehyung nodded and ran out of the cafe, leaving Hoseok who followed him with his eyes.
"Who is hurting such an innocent person? I need to find it. Don't worry Taehyungie, hyung will not let anyone harm you." 

~▪~▪~▪~▪~▪~

Taehyung ran all the way from the cafe to his apartment, his legs were hurting from how fast he ran, only to be greeted by the Mr.Jeon sitting at his doorstep, head tucked down, he had his shirt's upper buttons open, the tie loosely hanging around his neck, hairs messy.

Taehyung panted as he stopped by him, catching his knees, he gulped. Jungkook finally looked at him with red dark eyes, face controlled in anger, jaw clenched.
Taehyung took a step back as he saw him getting on his legs, body stiff.

"Who were you with?" Jungkook spat each word like a curse, low and husky voice making Taehyung weak at all places, he gripped his backpack strap tightly and looked around, he can't risk his neighbours encountering something he doesn't want. He moved past the other and opened the door.

Jungkook's eyes followed him like a predator,   he looked how the other opened the door, almost scared and entered the house, and Jungkook without a second entered after him, closing the door behind him roughly.
"I asked you something." Jungkook rasped as the other turned at him, staring at the floor.

"Hoseok." Taehyung voiced, more like forced out waiting, and Jungkook's eyes darkened at that, he moved ahead and gripped the younger harshly by the jaw, making him look up, the younger whimpered at the harshness.

"Didn't I ask you to wait for me?"
