"Ah- you guys were here!" Namjoon exclaimed when he and Yoongi stepped inside of the kitchen and saw Taehyung and Jungkook standing in the almost dark kitchen.
"I was with Jungkook" Taehyung says in a low voice. "He needed to take fresh air so we went out-"
"You two better keep it low or just end whatever it is between you!" Yoongi suddenly cuts Taehyung off and that took both Taehyung and Jungkook off guard.
Their eyes widened at the same time but Jungkook advanced Taehyung and opened his mouth first to retort.
"What do you mean?" Jungkook lets out with a bit of bitterness before continuing. "And watch your mouth-! You don't get to order me, around!!" He emphasizes with a harsh tone which made Yoongi groans out of frustration.
He knowsJungkook is probably the most stubborn person in this whole universe. But he has to change this attitude of his though, or else Junghwoon will come to his and Taehyung's throat.
"He's right, Kook!" Namjoon speaks in Yoongi's place. If there's someone who can resonate Jungkook in this room, then he is the most suited person. "Your father suspect something and he made it clear that he's not playing, around-"
"What do you mean by suspect something?" Taehyung jumps in, feeling his chest tightening and his breath hitch at the same time.
Suspect something? What thing? Does Junghwoon know-??? No! No! It can't be! He's going to fucking die-!!!!
"He asked me to spy on you guys to confirm if there's really something going on between you two and believe me, it's the least thing I want to do but I don't know how to handle this situation!!" Yoongi answers, head crowded with frustration.
He knows the consequences can be dangerous for both Taehyung and Jungkook if Junghwoon were to know about their affair, moreover, Yoongi can't cover them forever, they need to stop this to avoid any dramas from happening.
"He what?" Jungkook's mouth dropped, right away.
His mind stopped working for an instant, bugging to process the new information. Fuck- he should've been careful!!! His father can't know about them no matter what!!! No!!! He needs to do something!!!
"You need to end this shit! There's no way you're risking your lives by screwing around-!!" Namjoon lets out as a scold.
They shouldn't underestimate Junghwoon. He's still a very dangerous man so messing behind his back while he already suspect something, is just a suicide.
"This shit?" Taehyung barked, obviously offended by what Namjoon said. "What Jungkook and I have is nothing but a 'shit'. Sorry but we can't end this 'shit' just like that!!" Taehyung snapped which surprised everyone else in the room.
Well, it did also surprise Taehyung himself. He doesn't know what has gotten into him. First, he doesn't want Jungkook to go to Jimin for comfort, he wants the younger to seek comfort from him and only him. And secondly, to top it all, he refused to stay away from Jungkook.
Simply put, it's complicated so there's no explanation. He's just sick in the head, yeah, maybe that's the reason why he's acting like a fool. Or maybe because he knows that there's no way for him to escape from here if he doesn't get a good grip of Jungkook. Yeah, that's definitely it. He's not crazy! Actually, he's just pretty smart.
"Taehyung-" Jungkook tries to speak but Taehyung quickly cuts him off.
"No! You're not going to convince me that it's only shit and nothing more! I'm not one of your whores, Jeon! You can't throw me away just-"
"Oh my god! Who said I'm going to throw you away?" Jungkook growls, annoying boiling inside of him.
He hates it when Taehyung thinks of him, like that. Just the thought of throwing Taehyung away made him internally wince in pain. How can he do that? How can he do that after the promises he made to save the older from this shithole!???
What Jungkook feels for Taehyung is no shit. He can't describe it as love because he's not there yet. He's just becoming slowly whipped for the older. I mean, it's just an attraction but there's something more, a thing that he can't describe because he feels his whole soul crying in agony when something bad happened to Taehyung. Maybe it's just obsession? Or guilt? Anyway,
"But are you agreeing to what they said? Are you going to end this shit and get back to your perfect life while I get back to getting raped daily by your sick fuck of a father???"
"What the fuck?! Tae- NO!" Jungkook shakes his head repeatedly.
He can feel his stomach flipping upside down. He wants to throw up and punch the counter below his palms when he heard these obscene words out of Taehyung's mouth. But the little anger inside of him vanished away and get replaced with worries when a tear escaped Taehyung's eyelids and land on his puffy cheek.
Fuck- Is he crying? Did Jungkook made him cry??
"I-" Jungkook moves like a flash and in no time, he arrives in front of Taehyung, cupping the older's face in his palms and caressing his cheeks softly.
"I'm not going to leave you" he breathes against Taehyung's face, barely holding himself from leaning further to plant a gentle kiss on the older's cheek to kiss his tears away.
Fuck- there's a painful tug on his chest just by the sight of the tears ruining Taehyung's perfect face.
"Guys!" Namjoon's voice snapped both Jungkook and Taehyung out of their little bubble.
"If it were in another circumstance, I would compliment you and say that it's cute and all but right now it's beyond ridiculous! You need to end this and be realistic!!" Namjoon adds which earned an instant groan from Jungkook.
"Shut up, hyung!" He spats furiously, his hold on Taehyung only tightening.
He doesn't want to let go of Taehyung and not even his father will achieve in doing so. Plus, Namjoon might be his hyung but he will not let anyone speak bad against what's going on between him and Taehyung.
"I don't want to piss you off, Jungkook-ssi but you need to stay away from Taehyung. It's for your own good. You know better than anyone how your father can get when it comes to his property" Yoongi says with boldness, not minding for a split of second if Jungkook may punch him from being mouthy or not.
"Don't test me. Min!" Jungkook warns, letting go of Taehyung to turn towards Yoongi's direction.
"I punched my father so you think that I can't do the same to you??" He spats, jaw tense with veins popping out of his neck to make him look even scarier.
"Stop thinking with your dick!! You'll get killed by your fucking father at this rate!!!" Namjoon spats back, stepping in front of Yoongi to face Jungkook directly.
"It's none of your business! I'm a grown ass man! I can handle myself and protect Taehyung-"
"Protect Taehyung? You think you have a chance to stand against your father?" Namjoon asks in disbelief. "Besides, why are you so adamant in protecting him? Last time I checked you were the one he needed protection from-"
"Jungkook!!!"
It all happened so fast, so fast that Taehyung didn't have the chance to hold the younger back because Jungkook already jumped on Namjoon and choked the older once they hit the floor and he got on top of the older.
"You fucking stay out of that!!!" Jungkook growls, hands squeezing around Namjoon, not too hard because he's still half conscious that it's his hyung, a part of him want to pull away but the other part want to make Namjoon choke on his own tongue for the painful truth that he just spit.
"No one get to order me around! I'll do what I want to do!!!" Jungkook spits to Namjoon's face before letting go of the older and Namjoon didn't waste anymore second to immediately breath some air again to cool down his burning lungs.
"Are you okay?" Yoongi crawled down to help Namjoon stand up and gently pat his back before leaving his side only to get him a cup of water.
"I'm good-" Namjoon breathes out. "You fucking bitch-" he turned his head to face Jungkook. "You fucking choked me!!!"
"Yes, I did" Jungkook replies, face blank out of expressions. "And I'll do the same to Min if he dare utter a word to my father about what's happening between me and Taehyung!!"
~~~~~~~~
"You didn't need to choke him!" Taehyung growls when he and Jungkook got back in Jungkook's bedroom.
"It was necessary. Hyung wouldn't drop the matter if I didn't do it!"
"He's still your hyung and what you did was- argh-" A groan left Taehyung's lips. "You could have just told him that we are not just messing around but then again, are we really serious in this??" Taehyung knits his brows together.
"We are" Jungkook replied almost instantly.
However he flushed red when Taehyung gave him a pointed look. "I mean- we are not just messing around, aren't we? What are we?"
Taehyung almost scoffed at Jungkook's panic state.
"What are we? Why do you want to help me?" Taehyung chose to torture Jungkook.
He's just curious so don't mind him. He wants to know and see Jungkook's reaction to these questions. He wants to see it all plastered on the younger's face, that he care about Taehyung, that he wants to keep Taehyung safe.
Just any signs of that can give him hope that he is not just a nobody to Jungkook, that he is also now a special person to Jungkook and screw him but it will be beneficial for him because he can use it against the younger.
"I-" Jungkook's mouth just fall hanging.
What is he supposed to say? That he lov-no appreciate Taehyung and just feels like protecting him after torturing him for days?? Does it even make sense??
"Am I a Jimin person to you?"
"What?"
"Am I an important person to you? Just like Jimin is or is this just a charity? But Jeon Jungkook doesn't do charity so I'm confused-"
Taehyung and Jungkook are currently lying down side by side on Jungkook's bed so Taehyung lets his thumb play with the skin of Jungkook's chest as he speaks.
"I don't do charity" Jungkook simply says which draws a beautiful smile on Taehyung's lips.
"So am I an important person to you then?"
At this point, Taehyung is desperate to make Jungkook say it.
"You are!" Jungkook snapped heat reaching his ears as he confessed that. He feels ridiculous because Taehyung can make fun of him at any moment.
"So do you regret what you've done to me?" Taehyung asks, he knows it's dumb but also dangerous to push Jungkook's limit and force the latter to confess what's in his chest but his curiosity got the best of him. Or more like because he's just got death wish.
"Can we sleep, already? I don't feel like talking-" Jungkook momentarily tried to let the matter go and just go on to sleep because it's almost 2 am and they still haven't gotten any sleep since what happened.
"But I want to know!" Taehyung pouts and that was Jungkook's last straw.
He had a fight with every single beings of his but he still failed miserably and chose to reply to Taehyung's question. He answered with shame though, the memory of him inflicting pain to the older made him want to kill himself.
"I regret it. I regret everything I've done to you. I won't to apologise, tho. Because I know that I don't deserve to be forgiven-" Jungkook sighed out, heart beating drastically fast and threatening to fallout of his chest.
"You're right. You don't deserve to be forgiven-" Taehyung says in the most sincere way as ever that it broke Jungkook's heart even more but he deserves it so he's not going to complain.
"I don't think that I can forgive you- maybe one day in the future but not now" Taehyung whispers, yawing a little due to the fatigue which hit him so suddenly.
"Are you still willing to help me? Knowing that I may never be able to forgive you?" Taehyung asks after a minute of uncomfortable silence which installed in the room.
"I'll help you not for your forgiveness but also because I want to help you"
"Because you want to kick me out as soon as possible, right?" Taehyung sleepily asks and a brief chuckles came from Jungkook before he replied.
"Yes, that's probably why I want to help you" He tries to convince himself because why else would he help Taehyung of all people?? And risk his life at that??
