Chapter 32

                                    

                                          
"Hey, guys" Taehyung greets the boys (Jin, Hoseok, and Jimin) when he stepped inside of the kitchen, followed closely by Jungkook from behind.
"Hello, Taehyung" Hoseok greets back when he lifts his head up to see Taehyung and Jungkook entering the kitchen.
"Why are you guys, here?" Jungkook immediately spats which made Jimin roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Can't we come here, anymore? We just wanted to hang with you, it's been a-"
"Well, Jimin high-key forced me to come here so..." Hoseok jumps in to cut Jimin off.
And that didn't fail to piss Jimin even more. In fact, his mind has been tortured about the thought of Jungkook and Taehyung possibly fucking behind his back.
"I came here to check on Tae" Jin says, instead. "I heard from Joon that you're sick. How is it going?" Jin left his chair and food to walk towards Taehyung and he stopped only when was inches from his friend.
"I'm fine, now, hyung-" Taehyung vaguely says but nonetheless that still didn't make the frown on Jin's forehead disappear away.
Well, when Namjoon left their house early in the morning, the other day, Jin got scared, especially when Namjoon told him that he went to the Jeon mansion to check on Taehyung. 
Plus, to add to his worries, Namjoon also rushed to go to the Jeon mansion in the middle of the night, last night and even if Jin was a bit relieved that it was because of Junghwoon, he still had to come here to check if Taehyung was really doing fine.
"Are you sure?" 
"Yes, I'm fine. Just limp a little but I will be good in few days" Taehyung assures and Jin sighed out at that.
It's like a big weight got detached from Seokjin's chest.
"Wait- What exactly happened to Tae?" Jimin asks and Taehyung instantly snaps his head towards his direction at that.
"He doesn't want to talk about it" Jungkook replies in Taehyung's place.
Right, he remarked that Taehyung wasn't very comfortable with the conversation so he's just helping him get out of here. The last thing he wants is for Taehyung to get a flashback of that night and panic because of it.
"Why are you replying in his place? I asked him not you!" Jimin growls, annoyance evident in his tone which Taehyung caught, right away.
He doesn't know why Jungkook is acting so obvious. Maybe the younger doesn't even realize that he's acting that way. But still, Jimin will start suspecting something if Jungkook doesn't snap out of it.
"I- just. It's still hard for me to talk about it. Maybe I'll tell you another time, yeah?" Taehyung managed to mumble even though he feels his throat tightening due to the nervousness.
"I'm not pressuring you" Jimin feels bad for snapping like that but he was mad at Jungkook for a spilt of second, however guilt hit him hard when Taehyung looked so nervous in front of him.
It's still Taehyung, right? The person he wanted to protect when he first lied his eyes on him. Taehyung didn't do anything wrong and growling in front of him was not the nicest thing to do, especially after what traumatizing thing Taehyung has gone through.
"I'm sorry for raising my voice. I don't want to force you to tell me about anything nor remember about what happened-"
"It's okay, really. You don't have to be sorry" Taehyung dismissed but when Jimin was about to reply, Jungkook advanced him.
"Of course he had to apologise. He can't force you to talk about it when you're clearly still traumatized!!"
And everyone inside the room widened their eyes at his sudden outburst.
