chapter 12

"W-what happened hyung?"

Jungkook stated annoyed.

Taehyung stood up and looked away avoiding the younger's gaze.

Jungkook was irritated by the other's behavior. He asked again,

"What happened now?"

"Nothing kook... It's just, leave it."

" I won't leave it. Don't you like my touch? Do my hands feel foreign for you as it's been days? You started this but why did you push me?I've come here to see you for months, you ignored me for the past week. Do you know how much I missed you and worried about you? Is this how you're gonna treat me? "

Jungkook yelled and looked down.

Taehyung stood still averting his gaze from Jungkook. He clenched his fist and sighed after Jungkook finished his essay about missing him.

"You ignored me for a month Jungkook."Taehyung said in a low voice.

"What?"

"You Ignored Me For A Month, Too Kook. If you missed me that much, why didn't you at least reply to my texts?"

"I said I was busy. Can't you understand that?"

"Are you that busy dancing non-stop for a month?

It's not that you only worried.

When I didn't get any response from you, I went crazy.

I stared at our chats that only contained my ramblings about you for a whole night forgetting about sleep. You promised me you would see me on my birthday, but what happened?I ended up sleeping on the balcony waiting for you.

I'm not ignoring you.I already said I'm preparing for the exams. Can't you understand that?"

Taehyung snapped back and sent daggers to Jungkook.

Now, jungkook looked away avoiding the other's glare.

"Just tell me Jungkook, what's with you?"

Jungkook looked at Taehyung with anger evident in his eyes. He didn't expect the older would just mock him.

"I'm fine. I want the reason for pushing me away before."

"Fine. I said 'I love you twice but I didn't get that from your mouth in return.

You are avoiding my gaze every time I see you. Even now, you are looking at my hands and the wall behind me.

If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have kissed you. I said 'I love you after that, but you just ignored it and continued sucking on my skin.

I don't want you to treat me like an object.

Why did you come here if you just want to blame me for everything?"

"ENOUGH HYUNG, I can't believe you just pick on me for seeing you despite my situation now."

"I'm not picking on you Jungkook. I'm just asking you why you are acting differently.

This is not just because of stress. I- ok, no need to argue. Just say,'I love you by looking into my eyes.

I was mad cause I didn't hear those words from you. Just do this for me. Can't you say that simple thing for me?"

Taehyung smiled softly after that.

Of course, saying three words is simple but it's not that easy for Jungkook now.

He is confused by his mixed emotions. He hates his hormones for malfunctioning.

Whenever he saw Aecha, his heart beats faster, his eyes crave her features, his lips curve into a smile without knowing, and his arms long to wrap around her petite frame. He wants her company so bad.

Not gonna lie, Aecha's presence made an impact on Jungkook.(A/n: and that snake was succeeded in her plan)

When he saw Taehyung standing in front of him with a soft smile and pleading eyes, his body went numb with the guilt.

Guilt is taking over his body when he felt his feelings for Taehyung once he thought it couldn't replace anything in this world is now crushing into pieces.

He couldn't control when Taehyung kissed him with love and passion. Sexual frustration took over him and lost control and regrets now doing that.

He realized that he developed romantic feelings for Aecha. he realized that his mind orders his lips to utter the words, "I love you" to Aecha and not to Taehyung.

His lips trembled to utter any words. He wanted to say the truth but was also afraid of facing reality.

He closed his eyes shut and hung his head down to take deep breaths.

Taehyung approached the younger.

He placed his both hands on the other's broad shoulders and shook him slightly.

"Jungkook"

Jungkook flinched and turned his face to the side.

Taehyung lifted the other's chin to face him and spoke,

"Jungkook, I know you are stressed. Don't overwork yourself. There are many other labels in Seoul. You get plenty of chances cause you're talented. I'll support you no matter what.

Because I love you so much, kook.Say 'I love you too' to your tae tae, please. Tae missed kookie so much."

And showed his puppy eyes to the younger that pleads for an answer.

Jungkook looked down all the time.

"Please kook"The voice came out shakily.

Jungkook looked at the other. He is on verge of tears.

It hurt like hell.

"Jungkook, face the reality. Tell the truth. Be a man. Don't leave him in more heartbreak."He chanted in his mind and faced Taehyung.

Their faces were only a few inches apart, noses brushed from time to time. Taehyung wrapped his hands around the other's neck attaching their foreheads and looked deeply into the other's big doe eyes.

"D-don't you love m-me?"

Then felt Jungkook felt the other's tears staining his cheeks.

The younger felt bad and gathered his courage to say the truth.

"I-I---"

Taehyung stared at him with glossy eyes.

"I-I want to go"Then Jungkook stormed out of the house leaving the other heartbroken.

Taehyung couldn't process what just happened.

He slapped his cheeks whether it is all a dream.

No, it's not.

He sat on the couch and stared at the coffee mugs.

---SMASH---

The mugs shattered into fragments like Taehyung's heart.

"I want to go"Taehyung repeated the words and smiled bitterly.

"I think it's over. Koo- no. I think He is tired of me."

Then tears accompanied that sentence.

---

Meanwhile, Jungkook reached his dorm crying and ran to his room.

Aecha sat in front of his room for his arrival. But she didn't expect him to slam the door shut without noticing her outside.

"He returned early. And why is he crying?"She thought.

She gently knocked on the door and spoke,

"Jungkook"

No response.

"I-I think I'll see you tomorrow."

No response.

She decided to leave him alone and walked to the parking lot.

"I think my awaited time has come. Jungkook, you are gonna be mine soon."

She flashed her evil smile and started the car.
