Jeongguk really had thought that Taehyung would not reply. So he's surprised when the response really does come.

"I-I saw the texts, I thought I overreacted, but I came back and guess what happened next, hyung!" Taehyung clenches his jaw, eyes flickering up to Jeongguk's again.

There's not a trace of his normal mischief or glimmering. They're dark and searching, but not in the way Jeongguk's grown to love so much.

A moment of silence and

"So - so you didn't leave because you regretted that-that we made love?" It's such a stupid question at this point that Jeongguk inwardly cringes.

"How could you- how can I ever regret something-something so beautiful and-something I yearned for, something. . .how can you ever regret making love with the person you actually love hyung?" Taehyung's voice wavers.

Jeongguk couldn't form an answer. For him, everything's a mess.

"I think you should leave." Taehyung abruptly says.

Mind quickly working its gears, "No Taehyung, please no, NOTHING is true what we both are thinking! Nothing is making sense anymore, and we both are mistaking everything, baby, please. I'm sorry! I'll do anything please, just let me explain." Jeongguk says, getting on his knees.

"I'm done, hyung, and I'm tired, okay? I just need some time away from you, for us both to understand this mess. I can't handle this," Taehyung rasped, trying to walk around Jeongguk to get to the stairs to go upstairs.

I'm done

He's done?

"You're done!?" Jeongguk stands upright and follows around,"I admit that I came late, but I did alright! I'm fucking dumb I know that but It was hard for me too! It hurts me too, to see this look of disbelief on the face of the person I fucking love! It hurts to-to see you pushing me away from you like this! It fucking hurts!" Jeongguk screamed suddenly.

Anything for Taehyung to stay.

Taehyung halts at the first step and turns, he looks livid, eyes wide and dainty hands are visibly trembling at his sides "Oh I'm so sorry that only you are hurting hyung because you might want to look at me again in case you haven't noticed how euphoric I am here!" Taehyung cries at that as he completely breaks down.

And suddenly, he could feel his heart beat rising tremendously, and he felt his body shaking to its core.

He doesn't even have time to think before his hands are getting clammy and his vision is clouding with tears. His hands are shaking while he gasps for breaths.

It feels like he can't breathe anymore. The more seconds that pass, the more difficult it is getting to support his own body weight, and suddenly everything is getting darker.

"FUCK!"

He hears Jeongguk shouting, as if in background far away, muffed.

"Taehyung!"

"Tae! can you hear me baby? I'm right here."

Taehyung's having a panic attack.

Jeongguk rushes on time and manages to grab Taehyung before he hits the ground, holding him in his arms, Taehyung's eyes were open, but they were fixated, he has frozen up and Jeongguk has no damn clue how to snap him out of it.
