"I am getting engaged, with my childhood friend...Ye-Seul"
Taehyung's eyes shot opened "Wh-what?..............."
A chill swept through Taehyung, leaving his body feeling as icy as the cold touch of winter. His hands, resting on Jungkook's chest, seemed frozen in place, and his heart crumbled into countless pieces.
In the last session, Taehyung had realized that he got feelings for Jungkook. Despite their brief time together, there was an unexplainable connection that made Taehyung feel like he had known Jungkook for an eternity. Jungkook, the only person who seemed to truly understand him, had become a important presence in Taehyung's life. Though he hesitated to label it as love due to its rapid development, there was undoubtedly a fondness growing within him, and he found himself yearning for the raven-haired male. However, the words he heard now shattered Taehyung even further than before.
"Taehyung are you fine-" Jungkook soon got cut of
"AM FINE AM REALLY HAPPY!....am f-fine co-congrats h-h-hyung am so-so happy for you......" Taehyung uttered as he backed away from Jungkook hurriedly. As Jungkook tried to approach him he swept himself away from the said man, he tried to hide himself away from Jungkook, the whole world, he felt a sudden urge to crouch down and cry, but refrained himself. He kept on chanting a series of 'congrats hyung' and 'am fine, am happy'
"Taehyung listen to me honey bear" The raven head's voice calm and soothing, his voice was finally able to calm the panicked Taehyung. He came forward and engulfed Tae in another tight hug.
"Petal, are you really happy?" Jungkook said with a subtle touch of hurt in his voice, somehow he was able to relate to Taehyung too, his heart swelled with pain as he was conveying the invitation to Taehyung, he didn't wanted to ruin his night with the younger. Every moment they shared with each other today was more than magical, the occasional touches, the soft conversations, the frequent blushes on Tae's cheek made Jeon feel millions of emotions for the white headed boy, but this wasn't really the first time.
Taehyung hesitated for a moment, his inner turmoil evident in his conflicted gaze. As Jungkook held him in a tight embrace, the warmth of their closeness contrasting with the coldness in Taehyung's heart, he finally let out a shaky breath.
"I-I'm happ-py for you, rea-really" Taehyung murmured, his voice betraying his sadness. Jungkook pulled away slightly, searching Taehyung's eyes for a deeper understanding.
"I know you're not fine, Tae. I know you trust me. You can talk to me" Jungkook said, his concern genuine. Taehyung looked away, a mixture of emotions clouding his usually vivid eyes.
"I-I just ne-need som-some t-time to process it, hyu-hyung. It's a surprise, t-that's all" Taehyung replied, attempting a weak smile. Jungkook could sense the pain in Taehyung's words, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from Taehyung's face.
"I want you to be happy, Tae. That's all I want now. And if you need time, I understand. But don't hide your true feelings from me, please pup" Jungkook said, sincerity lacing his words, his fingers caressing Tae's hands, but soon the white head pulled his hands back.
Jungkook's heart ached as he saw the pain in Taehyung's eyes. Despite Taehyung's attempts to mask his true feelings, Jungkook couldn't shake the sense of guilt and regret, that's all he had been feeling whenever he thought a life with Ye-Seul as his wife and no boy named Tae. Still, he respected Taehyung's request for space and time.
"I-I want t-to go ho-home.." Demanded the younger male with a broken smile
With that they headed towards Jungkook's KTM. Jungkook tried to help the latter get up on the bike, Taehyung refused his help politely.
As the breeze carded through their hair, the euphoric feeling they earlier felt was missing, it was just awkward silence now.
Upon reaching Taehyung's house, Jungkook parked the bike and turned to face the younger boy. "Take all the time you need, Tae. I'll be here for you whenever you're ready to talk or when you need a support" Jungkook said, his voice filled with genuine concern, and handed over Tae the invitation scroll unknowingly.
Taehyung managed a small nod, offering a faint smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Thank you so much hy-hyung" he replied, his voice carrying a hint of fragility.
Their hearts didn't wanted part away from each other after the day's event.
"Bye petal....."
and Taehyung left without sparing Jungkook a single glance. Jungkook was beyond furious at himself for upsetting the younger, he couldn't comprehend himself, what he desired for, he cannot love someone who's 13 years younger than him, right?
"Welcome back sweethear-" Mrs. Kim got cut off as Taehyung ran to his room his eyes closed tight.
"Uh..this boy and his new dramas..." With a smile he followed Taehyung but met with a locked room.
"Tae what's wrong! lets eat dinner!"
"I-I alrea-already had it wi-with hyu- Mr. Jeon Mu-mumma...GOOD NIGHT" With that Mrs. Kim came back not to disturb Tae anymore. "Good Night sweet heart, bear, we all love you..." and left a kiss on his door before leaving.
"n-no one no -no one lov-oves me huh who will wan-want to love a bro-broken pers-son a fa-faggot like me ...no one.. mo-om was always ri-ght am-am really futile." Taehyung crumbled to the floor, his body shaking with suppressed sobs. The weight of his unspoken feelings, the shattered hopes, and the newfound distance between him and Jungkook overwhelmed him. Tears streamed down his cheeks, staining the bedsheet beneath him.
He clutched the invitation scroll in his hand, the fancy paper crinkling under his grip. The words on it blurred through his tear-filled eyes, and he let out a choked sob. The pain in his chest felt unbearable, as if his heart was being crushed by an invisible force.
"I thought... I thought maybe, just maybe..." Taehyung whispered to himself, his voice barely audible between shaky breaths. "Wh-hy do-does i-it hurt s-so mu-much, I-I already knew am a useless fag, a pathetic bi-bitch th-then wh-why?"
His room became a sanctuary for his grief, the walls echoing with the sound of his stifled cries. Taehyung felt like he was drowning in a sea of emotions, his mind replaying the scene of Jungkook sharing his engagement news over and over again.
He couldn't be anymore audible, his voice got stuck in his throat, he couldn't bring himself to speak anymore, his mind became void. He stumbled his way towards his washroom, looking in the mirror he could recognize himself no more, his light make up, all smudged up due to his salty tears, he was feeling utterly useless during the moment, he closed the washroom door and begun to cry against with mirror banging it in the process.
On the flip side, Jungkook found his eyesight getting blurry for some reason. Despite his best efforts to concentrate on driving, the overwhelming grief and pain in his heart made it challenging. He couldn't shake off his concern for Taehyung.
Taking sharp breathes Taehyung made his way towards the bath tub, feeling it with water, he saw his own tears falling into the stagnant water creating beautiful ripple "Huh! ev-even wa-water i-is mor-more pu-pure than me......so bea-beautiful..."
With that he lost his senses, being overwhelmed, he stumbled into the waters
