Third Person's P.O.V :-

"Love..." Taehyung whispered bitterly as he looked sideways,"Is not as easy as you just made it sound"

With a sudden yank Taehyung pulled the hand back which Jungkook had been holding, making him grasp in shock

"Taehyung....?" He whispered, heart sinking down in a spiral maze

"I told you earlier that I am in love with Jimin..." Taehyung stated,"Did you listen to me?" He said and gritted his teeth

"That's not how love works!" He faced Jungkook and yelled at him,"If you had really loved me then you wouldn't have blackmailed me and forced yourself upon me!"

"Because I can't! Okey?!" Jungkook yelled back at him,"It hurts me to know that I can't have you while someone else can!"

Taehyung felt angry at Jungkook's words, enraged even,"Is that all there is to it for you?! The the power to possess and obtain?! Are you happy now?! Now that you have engraved your name upon me and possessed my body to fulfill your desires?!" Taehyung yelled

Jungkook couldn't take anymore of Taehyung's hateful words...

It was enough already...

Why does it only happen to him?

Why don't the people, he falls in love with, return his feelings?

It was frustrating and heartbreaking for him,"I...I just told you everything, Taehyung....and that's the conclusion you came upon?" He whispered as a small tear rolled down

"I just confessed and you do this?!" He screamed at Taehyung and started to sob,"I-..I just said I love you and you-" He sobbed even harder

"You don't love me, Jungkook" Taehyung stated blankly

Somehow seeing Jungkook sobbing in front of him was giving him a sick pleasure, he hated himself for it yet...

It was pure ecstasy.

'Do you feel it now, Jeon? The pain?'

"Shut up!!" Jungkook screamed again,"You don't get to decide what I love and what I don't! You know nothing!"

"I might not, but I know one thing, you are still in love with that woman, I'm just a substitute for her..."

Jungkook's heartbeat started to take up pace as he gripped the bedsheets tightly,"Shut up..." He whispered

Yet Taehyung couldn't...

"You like to act like you don't care, like you are not affected by her rejection, like you are tough and brave but inside..." Taehyung trailed off

"I told you to shut up" Jungkook gritted his teeth

"You are still that weak, helpless, pathetic sixteen years old teen who needs assurance and love at every step, Jungkook"

Jungkook bit his lips in frustration as the reality came to him like a massive tide and slapped him on the face

"Stop it! Shut up!" He clenched his eyes shut and covered his ears as if he was trying to shut himself off from the truth

"Otherwise you wouldn't have gone off and fallen in love with someone who resembles her so much" Taehyung backfired the words back at him

"SHUT UP!!!" Jungkook just snapped at the sentence and on instincts punched Taehyung across the face, knocking him out of the bed

Taehyung fell on the ground and gave a sick laughter,"Is this what you did to her when she rejected you as well, Jungkook?" He said and reached for his clothes which were scattered around the floor

"Get out!" Jungkook hissed at him

Taehyung grimaced

'Of course he'd tell me to leave...'

Suddenly a certain dark memory came to his mind...

'He can never voice what he did to her after all...'

Taehyung gathered his clothes and left after putting them on

Leaving Jungkook to sob on his bed

But one question remained in the air...

What was Taeri doing in the Jeon's company?
____________________________

Jin was exiting the grocery store of the neighborhood when he spotted a familiar limousine stopping in front of Taehyung's house...

Then it hit Jin.

It was Park Jimin's limousine.

Jin was puzzled, he remembered Namjoon warning Taehyung about giving out his address...

Then how did the Park find out it was Taehyung's house?

From the distance he could see Jimin walking towards the entrance door and turning the door knob

Thank god, Jin always locked the door before going out...

The Park turned around and immediately Jin went back inside the store and watched from behind the glass windows

The Park came back to the limousine and told the driver something, that's what Jin assumed

And shortly after the limousine drove away while Jimin waited around the door...

Jin cursed internally,"Now I have to wait in the store until the Park leaves..."

Suddenly another cab arrived right across the street and Taehyung came out.....
_________________________________

Taehyung got down from the cab and paid him.

Walking towards his house he wondered what he would tell Jin about his disappearance throughout the whole day....

But just as he opened the fence door, he was immediately met by a pair of warm brown eyes

He froze,"Jimin...?"

Jimin was standing there on his doorsteps, looking at him with relieved eyes.

In a rush he jumped down from the doorsteps and ran towards Taehyung before engulfing him into a bone crushing hug

"I was so worried about you, idiot!!!!" He exclaimed and held him tightly,"I was having bad feelings through out the entire day!" He pulled back and cupped Taehyung's shocked face,"I don't know but I felt anxious and I felt like I needed to see you but then you disappeared from the school and I was trying your phone but it didn't connect and I-" He cut his rant off because of lack of breath

"And I was just really really worried about you, Tae..." He said frowning,"Are you alright?" He asked gently,"Why did you disappeared from school? Is something wrong?"

Taehyung felt so emotional....

He was feeling insecure and homesick the entire day...

He was constantly wishing for some to hold him tight and comfort him...

And Jimin felt it without even-

Tears rolled down Taehyung's cheeks as he shook his head,"I-I am not alright, Jimin...I'm sick and tiered...I ca-can't anymore....everything is just too much for me" He said wrapping his arms around Jimin's neck

"And I have been yearning to see you all day, God! I love you so much! Please don't ever leave me like my entire family did, I beg you" He whimpered resting his head on Jimin's shoulder as his arms encircled Taehyung's waist

"What do you mean, Tae? Why would I leave you? You're everything that I've ever wanted" Jimin said as he comforted Taehyung

"I love you too, Tae, more than you can imagine" Jimin whispered fondly

"Then promise me" Taehyung said

"Hmm? What do you want me to promise?" Jimin asked as he enjoyed the public display of affection

"Promise me that you'll never leave my side no matter what" He said and tightened his grip around Jimin

He smiled at the sentence before uttering the next words

"I promise that I'll never leave your side, no matter what"

They enjoyed each others company however what they failed to notice is that Jin had sneaked out of the store and had been behind the neighbor's fence while he listened to the entire conversation....

He felt shocked at Taehyung's words...

They seemed too genuine to be considered acting...

But if that was not acting then...

Jin gripped his phone tightly,"I have to let Joonie know about this...."

A/n :- To all the readers who commented in the last chapter that Taehyung should accept Jungkook's love, I'm sorry that couldn't happen....because :-

1) You can't just accept someone's confession who called you name's in the morning, blackmailed you, forced himself upon you then told you an emotional story and confessed

2) According to Taehyung, Jungkook killed his sister after physically abusing her

3) Taehyung is a naturally jaded person, he's not smitten by a backstory which has his beloved Noona as the villain

Now questions may arise, why is Taehyung in love with Jimin when he's a target too

Well :-

1) According to Taehyung Jimin only helped Jungkook because he had a childhood crush on him and loved him dearly, so he doesn't despise Jimin, though at first he used to hate him at first but Jimin had managed to charm him.

2) Jimin knows a lot more about Taehyung than Jungkook does he even accompanied Tae when he went to visit his mother

(One reader made this point in the comments, #NeverThoughtI'dGetSuchFocusedReaders!)

3) He took care of Tae when he was feeling betrayed, lonely so Taehyung naturally put him into his trust zone

Hope that helped and nobody is angry at me.

If you are, then please forgive, I didn't mean to offend you! 🙏😔

Question of the chapter :-

How do you think Namjoon will react to the Vmin news?
