15. HOME

After a visit from Namjoon's dad, Jungkook decided to go home and try and relax after all that had happened he needed to recenter himself. Taehyung offered to help him clean, and Jungkook accepted. When they arrived, Jungkook groaned seeing the destruction he had left. He was happy to see not much was broken, just thrown around.

They started cleaning, but Jungkook remembered that he hadn't asked Taehyung what happened to him to make him so upset.

"So what did your mom tell you?" Jungkook asked picking up the edge of s small side table.

Taehyung walked past and placed some books on the shelf.

"Oh yeah. I left you a message, I guess you haven't had the chance to hear it. She told me my cousin is dead. She said he had a heart attack." Taehyung said picking up some books near his feet.

"How old was he?" Jungkook asked.

"20." Taehyung said.

"Isn't that too young to have a heart attack?" Jungkook asked turning to Taehyung.

"My brother looked at me and pretty much confirmed what I thought, Minho was like me, and he took the pill. The pill that makes it look like natural causes but its really murder." Taehyung said angrily.

Jungkook paused.

"Your cousin was like you?" Jungkook asked watching Taehyung.

Yeah. I didn't know, and he didn't know about me." He said slamming a book down. "My family is so full of secrets. If he had told me i could have helped him! I could have told him he wasn't alone! We could have fought this together, but now he doesn't have the chance. They made him choose! Choose to be killed by his own family, to be hunted or to take his own life. What kind of messed up family am I apart of?"

Jungkook watched Taehyung's shoulders tense up and his jaw clenched, he could feel his anger and hate. He didn't like seeing shy and cute Taehyung so hurt and upset. He didn't think, and walked over wrapping his arms around Taehyung's waist in a back hug.

Taehyung froze. A smile slowly creeped out oof the sides of his mouth and he rested his hands on Jungkook's arms, laying his head back. He felt his heart flutter a little and his face agin turned a slight shade of pink. He felt so safe with Jungkook holding him,and he felt all the anger melt away. They stayed like this for a while not wanting to let go, but there was still a lot to clean up. When Jungkook let go, Taehyung just turned to him and pouted.

"We still have a lot to clean up, but once we are done we can cuddle and watch a movie ok?" Jungkook suggested.

This made Taehyung smile and Jungkook could feel his happiness. They smiled at each other and got back to cleaning. Jungkook kept his word and they sat together on the couch and Jungkook moved closer and wrapped his arm around Taehyung. Taehyung leaned in and rested his head on Jungkook's shoulder as they sat together watching a movie.

Before the movie even finished, Taehyung had fallen asleep. Jungkook tried to move to lay Taehyung down, but instead Taehyung wrapped his arms around Jungkook���s waist and squeezed.

Jungkook didn't have the heart to move him now, so he wrapped his arms around Taehyung and lightly kissed the top of his head. It had been a long day, but he was happy to stay in this position if it meant Taehyung would sleep peacefully. So that is what he did. He stayed there motionless watching the rest of the movie and several more until morning came.
