JUNGKOOK/TAEHYUNG

The brunette is lying with his back towards the door, totally ignoring Jungkook's presence.

"Taehyung?" the raven tries, but he just earns a huff from the other.

"What's the matter?" Jungkook asks again.

Taehyung doesn't want to tell Jungkook. Since it has nothing to do with him. It only has something to do with Taehyung's stupid mind and the voices inside of it. They keep screaming and telling him to run from everything.

The easiest way, of course, to kill himself.

But Taehyung has never wanted that. He's finally 'free' so there's no way he would kill himself. And now... some young adult, with dark raven hair and bunny teeth, has come to push those voice even farther away. But they just keep coming back and Taehyung is getting frustrated.

"Tae? Seriously?" Jungkook can feel that this isn't fear. It's hate or frustration, so he feels like the younger is just acting up.

Silence fills the room and Jungkook is getting annoyed. He walks over and sits behind Taehyung, his legs crisscross on the floor, chin resting on his hand.

"I can't fix it if you don't tell me the problem," Jungkook adds.

The boy in front of him sighs louder than intended. He sits up (still back towards Jungkook) and grabs the iPod Jungkook has bought for him.

He plugs in the earphones and starts listening to a random playlist. Jungkook reaches out and ruffles the brunette hair, causing Taehyung so hum in delight.

He has never felt a kind touch like the ones Jungkook gives him. It's truly addicting.

Yet, he's annoyed right now, so he quickly moves forward so Jungkook's hand can no longer reach him. The elder chuckles at Taehyung's childish behavior.

He moves after him, this time closer. He wraps his arms around the smaller's thin waist, back hugging him tightly.

Taehyung ignores him and just keep scrolling through the playlists. Jungkook smells the sent from Taehyung, it can't have been long since the younger took a shower.

He grabs one of the earplugs to listen as well. The brunette whines slightly but let's Jungkook be as he puts euphoria on. He has really taken a liking to that song.

"Ne Tae... don't you want to go outside?"

Taehyung freezes by the words.

Outside?

He hasn't been outside for years. His uncle never let him leave the house, and he has been in this room ever since he got rescued.

Taehyung is really curious by nature and 'the outside', but the fear always wins. He feels shivers run down his spine as he thinks about it.

Walking through a crowd of people. Walking over a street where cars can't see you. Trying not the get judged by clothes or behavior.

Truly interesting. But dangerous.

"Tae?" Jungkook asks, fearing he has pushed it too much already.

"I-I don't know..." the boy whispers. Jungkook feels relief that Taehyung is now comfortable with speaking with him, but there's so much he wants to show the younger. Show him that the world might not be as horrible as it seems.

To save Taehyung from this hell of a life.

"I promise I'll protect you Tae... how about next time, I can take you to the station's cafeteria? It's not far from here, and we can do it when there aren't many people around?" Jungkook suggests.

Taehyung hesitates but convinces himself that he can do it. He has to. He can't stay in here forever, and now he has the chance to have someone like Jungkook by his side.

He only nods slightly in response, his body already shaking with fear even though it's not happening today.

Jungkook notices and gently massage the smaller's hips. Taehyung calms down by this and leans back into the other's warm embrace.

He can't believe he got this close to someone. Definitely not a man like Jungkook.

But here he is. Enjoying every bit of the elder's presence, never wanting him to leave... even though he knows Jungkook will soon. And then there'll only be darkness left again.

But he's getting used to that.
