Third person P.O.V

"I love you, Mr. Jeon."

Jungkook was stunned... for a moment he thought he heard wrong but no.... he heard it right.

He looked down at the limp body of Taehyung in his arms. In standing position, he was in his arms, a little bit far from his body as his body was kind of hanging.

Jungkook slowly brought his body close to his own and picked up Taehyung with care as his head fell on Jungkook's chest. Closely looking at his face, he found himself attracted to the boy. Those closed eyes, long lashes, tinted cheeks, and pink lips were so tempting. A small smile formed on his own lips on the view that was short-lived when he saw a stray tear roll on the side of his left eye and Jungkook wiped it by brushing his nose on his skin as his hands weren't free. (I am soft... 🥺)

"You are so pure Taehyung... I still regret hurting you." Jungkook mumbled and then he left the room with Taehyung in his arms.

Jackson and Hoseok were trying to eavesdrop but they couldn't hear Taehyung's or Jungkook's words while Namjoon was sitting on the couch and texting someone.

Hoseok placed his ear on the door of the room and he heard a click from the other side so he quickly ran away. Jackson was confused at first, but then he understood and also rushed towards the couch, pretending to read a novel that was placed on the side table while Hoseok was rushed to the kitchen.

Little did they know, Jungkook already knew what they were doing. He silently came out of the room and all of them looked up at him with side glances when they saw Taehyung in his arms, they all panicked.

Jungkook noticed that and he sighed.

"Sleeping," Jungkook said shortly and started moving toward Taehyung's room. All of the others felt relieved but not anymore when Jungkook suddenly turned back and glared at Jackson and Hoseok.

"Are you an alien? Pretending to read a novel upside down." He said to Jackson who was too much surprised to say anything in defense.

"And Hoseok.. your sandal is still in the doorway." Jungkook pointed to the door where Hoseok was standing before. Leaving the others, he moved again, walking with a smirk while others were dumbfounded and embarrassed.

Jungkook gently placed Taehyung on his bed, tugging him into fluffy blankets. Thank God that Taehyung already changed into comfortable clothes so he doesn't need that.

He was about to leave but Taehyung mumbled in his sleep.

"Mr. Jeon... Don't le-ave m--e " His voice was quite low but due to pin-drop silence in his room, Jungkook heard that clearly.

Feeling something stir inside his heart, he turned on his heels and sat down on the bedside while facing the sleeping boy.

For a moment he thought that Taehyung wasn't asleep but after a few minutes of observation, he concluded that he was indeed sleeping.

Without his realization, his hands again made their way to the soft cheeks of the sleeping beauty, caressing softly and carefully not to wake him up while his mind was messing up a bit due to that confession.

"How could you love me? I hurt you... I tortured you.. even I sold you to a player.. how could you say that Taehyung?" He mumbled in a soft voice but smiled afterward, a smile that hold hidden pain.

"If it's true, what am I supposed to do with you? I can't love you back boy. I can't give you my heart. This is the only thing, I am afraid of... I don't want to be handled by someone... to be controlled by someone.. to be a toy in someone's hands." A sadness spread over his face.

"I don't love you, I think I just like your innocence. Yes... I don't love you... yet." He stopped caressing and revert back his hand, using the same hand to ruffle his own hair.

"But you are doing something with my heart... I am not sure what I feel... but it's not love... I can't love you back." He kept mumbling that like he wanted to make himself sure about that but deep inside it was just like a phrase nothing else.

Taehyung again moved in his sleep but his peaceful expression turned into a painful one. He frowned and scrunched his nose and a small yelp left his lips.

Jungkook knows that vodka was quite strong for the boy and as he is already weak, it could be harmful to him. He quickly grabbed one of Taehyung's hands and started rubbing them to soothe his pain while with the other hand he gently massaged his scalp, it didn't take long when soon Taehyung's expression turned back to peaceful.

Jungkook quickly got up and left the room after that not before stealing a glance at the sleeping boy. He silently entered his room and plopped on the bed with many questions swarming in his head.

"Why does my heart always feel soft for him? I need to make a distance from him or else I will lose it." Jungkook muttered and after checking one last time on his laptop he closed his eyes, a best way to ignore everything is to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung opened his eyes to the unease of rising feeling to puke. He got up with a throbbing head, shutting his eyes more tightly due to the wave of pain in his head, and he rushed to the bathroom. After emptying his stomach, he did his morning routine and went back to bed.

It was 10 am and his eyes widened in horror.

"Damn.. how could you sleep for so long Taehyung. Sh*t! I am late" He scolded himself and quickly changed.

"At least I can still attend a few classes." With that thought, he made his way to the living room while rubbing his temples to soothe the pain. He thought to skip breakfast as he was already too late. Just when he was about to leave the mansion, Jackson called him.

"Taehyung! Where are you going?" He questioned him after watching the bag on his shoulder.

"Hi.. umm well going to college. I am already damn late, talk to you later." He turned to leave in haste but this time Hoseok grabbed his wrist.

"Hey.. you are really wasted... tch... its weekend, you thick head!" Hoseok mocked him and flicked his forehead but regretted after as Taehyung hissed.

"Oh.. really? Wow.. and what do you mean I am wasted?" Taehyung asked still rubbing his temples.

Hoseok and Jackson looked at each other and sighed... how can he forget everything so easily after creating a whole big scene in front of everyone.

"Don't eat me with your eyes Hyung, tell me," Taehyung whined.

"You chucked down a whole vodka bottle," Hoseok exclaimed with horrible eyes, shivering lightly as he recalled all of his efforts to get hold of the now, innocent-looking boy.

"Actually half but consider it full, because it's one of the strongest and most expensive ones, and the horrible part is that it was JK's favorite one and yeah... the last one in the mansion," Jackson explained while counting all points on his fingers.

Taehyung was frozen like a statue on his spot and gulped thickly after hearing the last words.

"It means... I am going to be puni-" He stopped while putting his hand on his mouth as the urge to throw up engulfed him again causing him to rush to find nearest bathroom to ease his sickness after throwing his bag on the couch in living room.

Hoseok also followed him quickly and waited for him outside the bathroom but the sound was quite loud so he entered the bathroom and patted the younger's back.

After throwing up for a few more minutes, Taehyung washed up and again held his head which was literally hammering. 

"It's ok.. come here. Let me make soup for you, it will ease your pain." Hoseok pitied while looking at the teary eyes of the younger.

He lead him to the kitchen and started cooking for him while the blue-haired plopped on the chair near the table.

"Did you ever drink before?" Hoseok asked and Taehyung shook his head with a pout, he started banging his head on the table with closed eyes to ease the throbs.

"Woah,  stop doing it your pretty little head will hurt more." Hoseok tried to stop him and for a moment he stopped. Hoseok grinned in the victory that he listened but Taehyung again rushed out of the room while covering his mouth.

"Oh... He got a bad hangover." Jackson muttered while shaking his head. He was standing there as he was also free for the time being.

"Please watch him, Jackson. After all, he is just a kid." Hoseok requested the other as he couldn't leave the stove.

"A naive one," Jackson muttered as he followed the sick boy. He was about to enter the room where Taehyung was in the bathroom when the younger came out of the room but again rushed back without any word. That definitely left him worried too, before he could enter behind Taehyung, someone tapped his shoulder.

"Um.. yes JK?" Jackson asked in a low voice, totally surprised to see the other.

"What happened to him?" Jungkook asked with a frown.

"Hangover.. well a bad one. He is throwing up since he woke up and he got the worst headache " Jackson informed him Jungkook nodded but with a worried look that Jackson noticed quickly.

"Don't worry, Hoseok is preparing soup for his hangover and will give him a painkiller for his headache," Jackson told him and then Jungkook left.

Taehyung finally came out and Jackson took him to the kitchen as the younger was swaying lightly after retching so hard his head was spinning.

"Drink it." Hoseok placed the soup in front of him and Taehyung started devouring it.

"Hyung... I am done, right? He won't leave me this time... argh why do I always mess up hyung... no, wait... you placed that bottle here right?" Taehyung gave him a death glare and Hoseok gulped.

"Yahh.. who told you to drink it? Can't you distinguish between a water bottle and a vodka bottle while you worked in a club?" Hoseok retorted at him while blinking continuously.. of course, he was nervous too.

"Ah... Hyung, how can I distinguish when you already tore off the label from the bottle?" Taehyung again gave him another glare and Hoseok facepalmed.

"Ok.. but the shape of the bottle is different, Tae." Hoseok again defended in a calm tone while moving closer to him.

"Hyung.. will he punish me again? I swear it wasn't intentional." Taehyung's voice was so low, showing that he was again scared but actually, he was sad.

"No, he won't. I promise he won't do it anymore, not after yesterday night." Hoseok patted his back while mumbling the last words.

Taehyung started eating silently but soon his gaze fell on Jungkook who was coming to the dining while talking with Namjoon and smiled a bit. All of his worries vanished just by seeing that smile, that rare smile.

Jungkook looked up at him and that's it, his own words from yesterday night started to echo in his ears like a mantra.

"Mr. Jeon~ you are sooooo nice~

I am not scared of you now...

I want to be a robber

I want to rob your diamond heart."

Taehyung's eyes widened and in the next moment, he choked on the soup and started coughing while hitting his chest vigorously, catching everyone's attention.

"Here take it, drink some water." Hoseok handed him a glass of water.

Jungkook was also surprised but also worried as Taehyung was still coughing badly while tears already filled in his eyes. He doesn't know what happened at the next moment but he was found...

patting and rubbing Taehyung's back soothingly.

Taehyung bit his lips while still coughing with a closed mouth, trying his best not to embarrass himself anymore.

"Be careful.. why are you so much naive." Jungkook scolded him but not in a harsh tone, his tone held concern and Taehyung felt it.

"So- sorry Mr. Jeon.. i.. that.. actually.." Taehyung didn't look up at them and left dining in embarrassment. He rushed back to his room.

"No no no... Taehyung what have you done..... what you said to him... damn alcohol... damn vodka... arghhhhh!" Taehyung was grabbing his hair in frustration. He continued scolding himself as he remembered all of the cheesy lines that he said to Jungkook except for the last one.

"But he is not angry.. he didn't even punish me.. well I didn't give him any chance to speak. What if he got angry that I left without listening to him... hyungggggggggg!!!!" He yelled, pacing back and forth in his room when all kinds of mixed thoughts made their way to his brain.

"He must think that I am crazy." A sudden sadness spread through his mind after he was a bit calm.

"Well, he won't understand my feelings, right? It was a quite messy confession... and he might think that I just talked like that because of alcohol." A part of him was happy but he was also sad because his newly developed emotions were left undelivered, little did he know what he actually did.

"How I am going to face him now?" Taehyung huffed while closing his eyes as he slumped down on the floor, leaning his head on the mattress. Everything was so rushed in his life, his separation from his parents, his abused childhood, his rotten adulthood, meeting Jungkook and all. But all those years he yearned for what Jungkook provided him within days, he can't help but fall for the one who literally saved him from dying in his room someday. Even when the other will stay unknown to his feelings, he won't be changing his mind and heart. 

His glossy eyes stared at the ceiling, his heart again thudding wildly when he recalled that short-lived, rare, but the softest smile he witnessed earlier, he whispered out the words from his heart.

"I can't overcome my feelings... I can't."
