His Darkest Desire ||Taekook||

chapter nine

It was as if time had stopped in its place since Jungkook had been staring at nothing for the past ten minutes trying to comprehend everything. Taehyung was the little boy in that basement? The thought suddenly sent shivers down his spine. Apart from that, Jimin's sudden confession has his stomach churning and blood boiling. The fuck has gotten into his brain? Love?..

Jimin remains silent in the meanwhile looking at Jungkook's expression to see that nothing changes as he's in his deep thoughts. He opens his mouth to say something when the door is suddenly pushed open and both turn their heads to see Taehyung standing there, his eyes red and hot tears trekking down his cheeks.

"W-what?" Taehyung mutters through tears feeling himself lost and dumbfounded at what he just heard. Both looked shocked to see him standing and suddenly appearing inside Jungkook's room after Jimin's confession.

They had not noticed that he was standing outside listening to their conversation. Taehyung had left the scene, but shortly came after he heard Jungkook yelling at Jimin. That was until he decided to leave, but stopped after Jimin had started talking about his past and then Mr Jeon..the one who killed his parents. Jungkook's father.

"Tae-" Jungkook snaps out of his trance-like state when he finally sets his irises on his figure that's now shaking vigorously.

SHUT UP!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!! W-WHY??" he feels like a part of him has suddenly been torn down. The thought of his parents suddenly enters his mind and he didn't want those flashbacks to reoccur. 

His breathing is starting to pick up, the feeling of dizziness coursing throughout the back of his head pulsing rapidly as he stares at the two in utter shock.

Not now.. He can't hyperventilate. He needs to stay strong. Jungkook gulps seeing him breathing heavily and then averts his gaze to Jimin who is silently looking down. Jungkook licks his lips, remaining quiet since he doesn't know what to do. 

Taehyung bites his trembling lip, more tears threatening to spill from his eyes. He can't stay here anymore. This place is suddenly terrifying him to the point where he wants to run away.

Of course how could he not have felt this weird connection to Jungkook. The time when he told him that if he knew him and how uncomfortable he felt around his father. The thought triggers him and he turns around to run away. Jungkook stays put in his place still shocked with everything.

"How did you know?" he asks Jimin without looking at him. Jimin felt his heart crack when Jungkook just ignored his confession and moved back to the first topic of Mr Jeon killing Taehyung's parents.

"Hoseok hyung told me. I had a little suspicion and thought to ask him for some answers." Jungkook could only nod, feeling his anger building up at Jimin and the slight disgust of the fact that his own step brother has these deep feelings for him. 

Not in a friendly brotherly way, but ones of two people who love each other romantically. He knows Jimin is gay. But never knew that he liked him.

Jimin wants to end this tension in the air, but can't after Jungkook's long silence and the fact that Taehyung ran away. Jimin steps away to look through the window and then suddenly finds him outside. He looks at Jungkook and opens his mouth to speak.

"Jungkook-"

"Shut up and don't talk to me!" Jungkook hisses, not bothering to look at him as he bumps his shoulder into Jimin’s and storms out of the room to look for Taehyung when Jimin is left inside feeling broken and deeply hurt.

Jimin sighs and goes to look out the window and finds Taehyung struggling against the guards. When one of the guards makes eye contact with him, he sends a sharp glare and shakes his head signalling him to let the boy go.
