🌈Temptation of the forbidden/ Taekook ✔

◇Chapter 6◇

Jungkook POV

The whole school knows.

Somebody videoed the argument between Taehyung and me amd posted it on Twitter and sent it to the whole school.

They're looking at me and then the gossip with their friends.

They're saying "get over it". It sounds so simple and yet it seems so impossible to me.

The fact that I like Taehyung and Soo Ah us aware of that makes everything so much more difficult.

I can just avoid Taehyung in school other than math lesson but I have to see Soo Ah  ar home all the time.

And I should forgive her.

She really didn't do anything wrong. They were drunk and didn't realize what they were doing.

She's family, I'll have to forgive her sooner or later anyway.

I once considered him that as well.

Family, one of my brothers.

But in the last week and a half a lot has changed.

Should I talk to someone about it.

Jin?

I know he wouldn't judge me for being gay amd I think he kinda suspects it anyway.

I don't want him to worry anymore than already though.

It's better not to put my problems on him too.

I'll just have to go on. I'll get through this on my own.

----

All of that is blown away like it didn't ever exist when I hear his voice.

I'm in my room, leaning against the door to listen to Taehyung talking to my sister.

"I'm actually here for guk... you know" He's sheepish.

Why is he here for me?

Is he worried?

Oh yeah he wanted to talk about it, that's why.

"I know." Soo Ah sighs, "please talk to him, he is not in a good state right now" She seems worried too but there is some undertone in hear voice that I can't identify.

Having heard enough, I jump into bed quickly, pretending to look at something on my phone.

I hear a knock sounding on the wood and my pulse rises, knowing who is standing there.

"Come in" I say coolly, not looking up.

I watch his every movement intently, through my bangs though.

He just stand there awkwardly, in the middle of the room like he has never seen this room before.

"At least sit on the bed or sometthing" I grumble, pretending to be in a bad mood.

He looks a bit shocked at the rough tone but plops  down onto the covers softly.

I finally put my phone  away as a sign for him to get to the point.

"Guk-ah" his voice is soft, almost longing.

It makes my heart throb.

"I know I've done messed up bad. And I know that no excuse could save this situation."

His voice is almost trembling, he's on the edge of tearing up.

"I'm not gonna be the b*stard that slept with your sister. I'm gonna take responsibility for my actions. I'll ask Soo Ah to be my girlfriend." His voice sounds small unsure.

This time my sadness overweight the lingering anger.

Because he's here being all soft and cute, but his words are the exact opposite.

He looks down at his hands as I muster his form.

"I'm going to take care of her for you" His eyes meet mine.

While I struggle to keep on my poker face, there are tears in his eyes.

And all I want to do is grab him by the sleeve and give him a massive hug, protect him from the world and keep him all to me.

But I resist amd hum as an answer instead.

"And I know you won't ever be able to completly forget it. But-But at least try to forgive me. Please. You're still my best friend guk. There's no me without you anymore" A stray tear has escaped his left eye, running down his soft cheek slowly.

His speech almost sounds like a love confession but I know it's not supposed to be.

He just wants to be friends again.

I can't help but reach up to brush away the moistness on his cheek carefully.

"I can't promise you anything. But I'll try..."It's a shaky whisper since I'm near tears now too, seeing him like this.

The corners of his mouth turn up into that wonderful body smile of his and he looks ethereal.

Tears glittering in his eyes, cheeks and nose a bit read and smiling so innocently.

"Thank. you . so ..much" he let's out between sobs.
