The Storm

"Here, you hold a brush like this!" - I told Soo Ho as he was staring at the blank canvas. I looked at the clock. It was half past nine in the evening. Jungkook neither picked up my calls nor replied my texts since he left. As his thoughts occurred in my mind, i felt an ache in my chest.

An ache you only feel if you are ignored by the person you love.

His face seemed gloomy when he left. He must've misunderstood me. I should have...

"Hyung!  hyung? What are you thinking about? You are being a bad teacher!" - Soo Ho spoke with a light mood.

"Eh? Nothing! Where were we? Ahh yes..The brush!"- as I spoke , i heard my phone buzzing. I looked at the screen eagerly.

a spam message !

The Time was ticking by but Jungkook wasn't here. As Soo Ho placed his hand on mine, I was taken aback.

"Wh..What is it?"- i asked.

"Are you worried about something ? You are frowning for an hour now!" - Soo Ho stopped stroking the brush on the canvas as he spoke calmly.

"No not at all. Don't mind me. You are doing great ,Soo Ho-ah!" - i tried to cheer him up. I could feel knots forming in my throat!

Why won't you answer my calls Jungkook! What have I done wrong this time!

"Hyung!" - i heard Soo Ho's voice as he splashed some paint on my nose. He started laughing like a kid. His laughter broke through the silence in the room ringing like melody.

"Soo Ho you..."- i picked up another brush and splashed some color on his nose. "Catch me!"- Soo Ho stood up as he said and started running in the room.

"Don't challenge me now!" - i ran after him to catch him as he suddenly stopped, i stumbled on him. He lost balance and fell on the floor with me. The switch of the lamp was on the floor and it went off as we fell on it. The paint from my brush splashed in his cheek. I was startled and I could hear Soo Ho's heart beats pacing up .

"Hyung I..."- his words were cut off as the lights were suddenly turned on. Jungkook was standing there holding a bunch of roses and a cake in his hand. He was staring at us with a flickering pain in his eyes. I drifted away from Soo Ho as I stood up and walked  to him. The brims of his eyes were teary but he turned his face away. "What was going on here?"- he said. His voice was calm.

I know this calmness and it's dangerous.

"I was teaching him how to paint...I .."- I tried to explain.

"So, you were painting each other Mr.Kim?" - Jungkook sat on the sofa tossing the roses aside. Mr.Kim! He called me Mr.Kim.

The ache in my chest seemed to pace up a bit. "No...We were playing. "- Soo Ho stepped in beside me as he continued "It's been a while, Jeon Jungkook!"

Jungkook's face curled in a smirk as he stood and came closer to Soo Ho. "Don't you dare to play your dirty tricks here. You think I don't know what you are upto?"- Jungkook hissed as he intensely gazed at Soo Ho. His jaw was stiffened. I saw him clenching his fist. "Then you should know I like Taehyung hyung. " -Soo Ho said glancing at me. "Get out!" - Jungkook yelled. His face was red. "This isn't your house. You don't get to decide. You are..."- Soo Ho's voice broke my trance. I turned to him as I said - "Soo Ho, i think you should leave now." Soo Ho was taken aback by my words. He nodded in response as he silently left the room. I went to Jungkook. His face was stern but his eyes were sad. I touched his shoulder and he pushed my hand away. His eyes were red as he screamed - "What were you doing? What are you hiding Kim Taehyung? Tell me?"

"We did nothing. Trust me Jungkook-ah! I swear ! We did nothing." -  i was on the verge of crying. The ache in my chest was still there. I clenched my chest as I looked at him. He turned his eyes away. "Right! You didn't do anything." - Jungkook stood up and went inside the bedroom and threw Soo Ho's pyjama at my feet. I looked at it. Soo Ho's initials were printed on the collar. "Then why his pyjamas are here? You didn't sleep with him? Did you?" - he yelled as his stare pierced right through my skin. My face heated up. He came near me and held me down on the sofa.

"What do I lack huh? Or you have got tired of me? Huh? Tell me! Or he does something special to you that I can't! Tell me!" - he clasped my shoulder tightly . His nails were pricking through my skin. "No..No what are you saying! Shut up! "- tears were rolling down my cheeks.

He leaned on and locked my lips between his and suddenly bit on my lips. "Jungkook-ah! What are you doing! it hurts! "- i pushed him away. "You let him touch you like this?"he grabbed my shirt and unbuttoned them one by one. He sucked a hickey on my chest. I couldn't hold it anymore. I slapped him on his face.

"Why don't you believe me, you idiot? Why would I sleep with another man? Why don't you trust me?"- i screamed at him. I was trembling in rage and angst. He looked at me for a while. He stepped closer, his eyes saddened. He spread his hand to touch me but didn't . He turned away and silently left the room. I tried to call his name but couldn't. My head was throbbing in pain now. I broke out in tears.

I noticed the flowers beside me. A card was stuck between them.I picked up the card and read - "I love you". I noticed the cake on the dining table.

I messed up! I messed up! I hurt him !

My phone buzzed again.Jimin's number flashed on the screen. As I picked up, he said - "What happened, Taehyung-ah? Why are you crying?" I mumbled through the sobs - "Jungkook...He left me!"
