Jungkook's P.O.V

"Not even a single thank you."

I sighed, soon turning to Taehyung to apologize for being rude since my guilt was starting to eat me alive, but I stopped myself when I saw blood dripping from his clenched hand.

"What the hell?! Tae!" I screamed. He snapped his head towards me, oblivious.

"What?" He asked coldly.

"You're bleeding." I pointed. He turned to his hand and shook his head.

"This is nothing." He said calmly as he looked away from me again.

I stood up, taking his good hand in mine as I dragged him out the room.

"Wha-hey! Where are you taking me?" He asked, confused.

I gulped, not giving any consideration of saying an answer.

'Why the hell am I doing this? Do I care about him..? N-no, Jungkook you don't care, you're just concerned-yeah that's it!'

We arrived in the infirmary. I opened the door to be met with no one.

I sighed as I dragged him to the bed. I took the first aid kit and soon approached him.

"Give me your hand." I ordered. He stared at me before he slowly handed it to me.

I opened his clenched hand to see the cuts from his nails. "You should really trim your nails, they're long enough to cut your skin." I advised as I started to clean his hand.

"Why care all of a sudden Jeon? You obviously made your point that you didn't like me so why are you doing this?" He asked.

I didn't dare to look up at his eyes, once I finished cleaning the cuts, I soon started to bandage up his hand.

"Is it wrong to care for you when your hand literally bleeds right in front of me? Seriously, use your he-" I stopped myself as I let out a breath.

"Look, i'm sorry for sounding so rude earlier.. I-i'm sorry for everything bad I said to you. I... I guess I just didn't want you to get too attached- but then I realized that.. I couldn't bare being alone anymore." I spoke as I finished tending to his hand.

"Look at me Kookie." He requested, making my heart skip a beat by the nickname.

I silently looked up to see his cold eyes slowly soften as he smiled softly.

"I forgive you, but this time, stop pushing me away." He said with a chuckled.

I smiled and nodded. "I will.. thank you.." I said as I happily pulled him into a hug.

Taehyung's P.O.V

The smile never left my face as I hugged him back.

"So what does this make us now?" I asked.

"Friends, obviously." He said simply with a smile.

I felt my heart got stabbed when he stated that we're just friends.

[Ouch, friendzoned.]

'Shut up Author-nim.'

"Hey, uh Jungkook?" I called as I stood up, slinging my bag over my shoulder.

"Yeah?" He asked as he turned to me with a smile, making me melt.

'You should smile more often-'

"Would you like to have lunch with me and my hyungs?" I offered. He thought for a second and soon smiled as he nodded.

"Sure, as long as they're ok with it."

"They would love to." I said softly with a smile as I took his hand and led him to the cafeteria.

"Yo Tae!" Hoseok hyung called, waving at us with a huge smile. I smiled a little as me and Jungkook approached their table.

"Hey hyungs, this is Jungkook, my new friend." I introduced, but I felt bitter once I mentioned the word 'friend'.

"Awww~ that's cute! We haven't introduced each other formally so nice to meet you, i'm Hoseok!" Hoseok hyung introduced cheerfully as he soon introduced the others one by one.

"Nice to meet you too." Jungkook said with a soft smile, both of us soon sitting down.

"So, Jungkook want to tell something about yourself?" Jin hyung soon asked with a smile.

"Well.. I actually have nothing interesting to say about myself." He admitted, however me and Hoseok hyung knew he was lying.

"Who was that guy earlier?" I asked with a frown.

"Guy?" Jimin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah... that was Yoonseok, he- well actually, he.. he used to be someone I cared about." He said blankly, but I could still see, that deep in those eyes, he was hurt.

I let out a tsk as I soon thought.

'Looks like I have a person to ruin.'

"Say, Taehyung told us that you and him have a project to work on later." Namjoon hyung pointed.

"You guys live together?" He asked, tilting his head soon curious.

"That's right, oh! Yeah if you end up staying a little late why not join us for dinner?" Jin hyung asked with a smile.

"Uhm.. ok.. thank you." He said, smiling shyly.

I stared at Jungkook fondly as he interacted with all the hyungs.

"You'll always see me busy with my sketch book just to avoid interacting with anyone."

'Avoid interaction with anyone? Heh, that's funny Jeon Jungkook. You seem to be enjoying our company.'
