AIN'T MY FAULT | taekook

Chapter 39

■■■■

"I swear I saw Mr. Choi looking at Jihye's legs in the lecture." Jackson voiced loudly many students turning from their table to look at him shocked, Jinyoung sighed and slapped Jackson's thigh, looking embarrassed around.
"Can't you be more loud!" He scolded the other who pouted, stifling his mouth with fries.

Sehun laughed beside them, eyes turning to Taehyung who sat with them, clearly lost in thought. He noticed how the other is most lost and silent these days, totally opposite of his first impressions. Taehyung bit his lips as he took a sip of his drink, the strawberry favour reminding of the farms in his hometown.

Taehyung sighed as he looked up, silent as all three pair eyes were on him. He smiled nervously, fumbling in his seat.
"What happened to you? Are you not feeling well again?" Jinyoung asked, as he looked at the other who shook his head, mumbling a 'I'm fine'.
Sehun moved a little closer to Taehyung, placing a hand on his shoulder,
"Is something wrong? you're seem sad these days." Taehyung smiled at him a little, but said it's okay.

"I think you should get laid." Jackson suggested, all looking shocked at him.
"What? It's true, get laid and relieve some stress." He wiggled his eyebrows, Jinyoung again pinched him, Sehun looked at with a glare.
"Every problem isn't solved by getting laid." He rasped, Taehyung looking more sad at that.

"I'm just missing my parents." Taehyung said in a small voice, all looked at him sadly, Jackson little guilty. Sehun thought and suddenly smiled at the other.
"I think you should come with me to my home, my mom will make some great food and you know you can talk to her, you will like her as she is basically mother to all my friends." Taehyung looked at him with big eyes, suddenly happy.

"Can I?" He was a little happy, Sehun nodded immediately. "She would love to, in fact I told her about you, and she wants to meet you." He closed his mouth when he realised he spoke too much, but Taehyung didn't mind as he was glad to meet someone like his mom, he just wanted some of that type of vibes.

It's been two weeks since the night, and things were back to normal, Jungkook avoided him totally, and Taehyung too didn't face the other at all. He would come to his class, look down, take notes and would leave without looking at the other. Jungkook too hadn't had come to his place, nor have talked to him, he would sometimes feel eyes on him through the school, but they would turn away quickly, without lingering as used to.

Taehyung was relieved, but a part of him, a big part was feeling something empty inside, like a part of him was missing, he was so used to the eyes and Jungkook with him that he was feeling sad. He had told Hoseok about the person who stopped seeing him and the other was more than happy. Taehyung sometimes would dream of him sleeping in the arms of Jungkook, the other kissing him good morning.

But other times he would get nightmares of Jungkook chaining him to a bed, slapping and torturing him. He would get up at night and would listen to songs to calm himself. One time he even wanted to call Jungkook when it rained heavily one night, thunder roaring and he was scared. But at last he fell asleep trembling. He was so confused about what he was feeling. But he didn't do anything about it.

A lot of times between lectures he would get lost in the image of the dark eyes, mind always going to the dark intense orbs, veiny arms, he would sometimes remember their kiss, the one when he kissed back, and he would only get more empty by it. So he thought that meeting Sehun's mom would brighten him somehow, as he loved talking to elders, and liked their caring nature.

Sehun promised that he would take Taehyung with him this weekend and that Taehyung left them as he had to go to the library for some studies, as he left Jinyoung and Jackson shared a knowing look and smirked at Sehun.

"You talk a lot about Taehyung to your mom huh? " Jinyoung teased and Sehun coughed and started eating his food, both laughing at his red cheeks.

Taehyung walked out of the library, he looked at his watch, it was late six in the evening, he lost track of time as he was busy reading old psychology books and about mental diseases. There were only countable students and staff around the campus, he sighed as he walked passed the classrooms, hands inside his hoodie pockets.

He looked at some boys that were smoking around the campus, they were mostly the troublemakers or mostly the fuckboys of uni, whom both teachers and students avoided. He looked down and walked silently when he felt footsteps beside him, he gulped and took quick steps only stopping when the boots came and stood in front of him.

He looked up and there stood Choi Woobin, the school's most popular and arrogant folk. He smirked at Taehyung and moved close.
"Hey there." He smirked in that awful flirtatious tone, looking down at Taehyung who looked around and bowed nervously. 
"Come, I'll walk you home cutie." Woobin said as he got closer to the other who clearly was uncomfortable.
"It's okay. I'll go by myself." Taehyung softy said as he moved a little away.

But Woobin just laughed and moved his face close to Taehyung, "But I want to baby boy." He husked, and Taehyung frowned and glared at him, angry. "Please, I'm fine, leave me alone." He forced and started walking away, Woobin cursed and started following Taehyung who looked over his shoulder and gulped, he looked in front and saw a figure walking to the parking lot. 

He sighed and walked fast to the direction, only to stop in his tracks when he saw Mr. Jeon walking to his car. He looked back and saw Woobin walking towards him, he bit his lips and ran to Jungkook who looked at him for a few seconds then his eyes moved back to Woobin, who also saw Taehyung standing near Mr. Jeon.

Woobin scared, turned away and walked fast without a word, all knowing that you are the devil, only until Mr. Jeon is out of the room. Jungkook frowned and then looked at Taehyung's frightened face. He finally understood as his eyes turned dark, jaw clenched. Taehyung looked and saw Woobin walking away and realised a breath, but then locked gaze with Jungkook. 

Jungkook looked around and saw how mostly the whole campus was empty and it was starting to get dark, he balled fist and walked to the other side of the car, opening the passenger door, standing there. Taehyung bit his lips and slowly walked to the car, fumbling to get inside the passenger seat, Jungkook closing the door, and himself getting in.

Jungkook drove the car through the city, Taehyung looked outside the window mostly, but would steal glances at the others, who haven't even looked at him once, jaw clenched, eyes on the road. Taehyung looked at his lap, he wanted to thank the other and clear the dead silence but he didn't and the car finally stood outside his apartment, he gulped and looked at Jungkook who still spared him a glance.

"Mr. Jeo-n I-" Taehyung started nervously but words weren't leaving more, Jungkook visibly tensed beside him. Taehyung for a moment thought to talk and tell him how he's feeling.
But at the end decided against, and removed his seat belt.
"Thank you." He whispered lastly, getting out of the car. He looked back inside through the window waiting for Jungkook to say something.

Jungkook finally turned at him, with those dark eyes that Taehyung missed the whole day, the same intense gaze that made a shiver run down his spine. He didn't say anything at first, but only stared at Taehyung. Like he was hungry and desperate for something he finally lost. He looked at Taehyung with so much emotion but suddenly flash between those orbs, Jungkook harshly turned his face to the front, starting the car.

Taehyung looked as Jungkook angrily started the car and drove away, without saying anything. But Taehyung was lost as the other had spoken so much with his eyes,  and Taehyung for the first time was able to read something in them, something he didn't think he would. Only a single thought which he understood by the stare.

I missed you
