Hoseok @Hoseok_Jung

What's going on?

(Yoongi texts Tae)

Yoongi: Hey

Yoongi: Is everything okay?

Taehyung: Hyung 😓

Yoongi: I saw your tweets what's going on?

Yoongi: Are you okay?

Taehyung: Not really 😔

Yoongi: You want to talk? Or call your brother? He seems really worried

Taehyung: Idk Hyung

Yoongi: You can at least talk to me if you're not ready to talk to Seokjin

Taehyung: I'm not sure if it'll be fair to you to talk about it

Yoongi: Come on Tae it's me 😊

Taehyung: I saw him with someone else tonight

Yoongi: Oh

Taehyung: He came home from a night out with friends and he thought I won't be home so he brought the guy home

Yoongi: Are you sure? Maybe he was just helping him?

Taehyung: He used to sleep with him Hyung 🙄

Yoongi: It wouldn't hurt to still talk to him to clear things up?

Taehyung: Idk I don't want to talk to him yet 🤔

Yoongi: It's up to you

Yoongi: All I'm saying is sometimes the things we see are not what it seems

Taehyung: Thanks Hyung

Taehyung: I shouldn't be bothering like this anymore 🥺

Yoongi: You're never a bother Tae

Yoongi: And didn't I say I would always be here for you?

Taehyung: I'm sorry

Taehyung: I don't deserve you

Yoongi: Stop it I care about you I always will

Yoongi: Let me at least be your friend

Taehyung: Thanks Hyung

Yoongi: Stop thanking me 😂

Yoongi: Go talk to Seokjin he's really worried

Taehyung: Goodnight Hyung 🥺

Yoongi: Goodnight Tae take care of yourself always 😊

After his short conversation with Yoongi, Taehyung and Jimin decided to call Seokjin who has been bombarding them with calls and messages.

They told Seokjin everything and all Seokjin can do is sigh and cry with them. He hates that the two are going through this.

However, there is nothing that Seokjin can do. He knows how heartbreaks are, but he agrees with Taehyung's tweet, the pain will just make them stronger.

Growth most of the time requires pain, an inevitable pain.

~~~

Jungkook wakes up to a terrible headache, memories of last night flashing in his mind, and without even a second thought, he got up to his feet and bolted out of his apartment.

As quick as the speed of light, he went to Taehyung's dorm but he's not there, Jungkook sighs realizing that he must be at Jimin's and he has no idea where Jimin lives.

(Hoseok texts the tiger flower group chat)

Hoseok: Yah

Hoseok: What did y'all dumbasses do

Hoseok: Jungkook ah

Hoseok: Wake the fuck up

Mingyu: My head hurts

Jungkook: Fuck

Hoseok: You've seen there tweets?

Jungkook: Shit

Hoseok: What happened?

Jungkook: Yugyeom took me upstairs I didn't know Tae would be home

Jungkook: So he saw us and thought

Jungkook: Fuck

Hoseok: Shit

Mingyu: What the fuck?

Mingyu: How did that happen?

Hoseok: Umm you were there???

Mingyu: I was drunk off my ass okay

Jungkook: What am I supposed to do now?

Hoseok: Did you try calling him?

Jungkook: He's not picking up

Jungkook: Fuck fuck

Hoseok: Calm down

Hoseok: Just explain everything to him

Jungkook: It looked really bad

Mingyu: I can help explain

Hoseok: I doubt he'll want to talk to any of us

Hoseok: Give it time

Jungkook: No I can't last time I almost lost him

Hoseok: And what are we supposed to do? Just annoy him even more

Hoseok: Talk to him when his head is calm

Hoseok: Right now he's convinced that you were planning on cheating on him

Jungkook: I would never

Hoseok: I know that tf?

Hoseok: But you can't blame him you said it yourself it looked bad

Hoseok: So just calm down first

Hoseok: Explain

Hoseok: but don't bombard him

Mingyu: Let me know if you need me I'll explain

Jungkook: This is so fucked up

Jungkook: Fuck

(End of conversation)

(Jungkook texts Taehyung)

Jungkook: Baby

Jungkook: Are you at Jimin's?

Jungkook: You're not at your dorm

Jungkook: Baby please believe me I didn't and I wasn't planning on doing anything with Yugyeom

Jungkook: I would never

Jungkook: Ever

Jungkook: Drunk or not I would never cheat on you or even think about it

Jungkook: I love you so much

Jungkook: Only you

Jungkook: Please, please believe me

Jungkook: Please let me explain

Jungkook: Please talk to me when you are ready

Jungkook: I love you Tae okay?

Jungkook: only you

(end of Jungkook bombarding Taehyung 😅)

As soon as Jungkook got back to his apartment, he picks up Taehyung's keys putting them on the coffee table, he will return them to Taehyung, he will.

They're going to be okay this is just a misunderstanding, Jungkook thought.

~~~

"After the party, do you guys have other plans?" Hyungsik asked.

Hyungsik, Seo Joon, and Bogum are in Jimin's living room, his parents are out so they had a small hangout before the party tonight.

They told their hyungs what happened and the older guys tried to do their best to cheer up the two.

"Same night?" Jimin asked placing his phone down.

"Yeah." Hyungsik nods pulling something out of his pocket but shielding it from everyone's view.

"Might be too tired for anything, to be honest," Jimin answers, Taehyung nodding in agreement.

"I'll stay longer at the party, I have to." Seo Joon tells them being sort of the oldest senior he has to.

Bogum nods agreeing with Seo Joon.

"You guys sure?" Hyungsik asked looking at Taehyung and Jimin who shrugged.

"Why? what do you want to do?" Taehyung asked as he tried not to glance at his phone that's being blasted by Jungkook's messages.

"I just happen to have extra tickets to Ar!ana Grand3 tonight at 9 pm so..." Hyungsik fans the tickets catching everyone's attention.

Jimin and Taehyung's eyes widen, they looked at each other with huge smiles as they rushed to Hyungsik, sitting on either side of the older guy.

"You're so handsome Hyungsik Hyung." Jimin starts.

"You know you've always been my favorite Hyung," Taehyung adds looking at Hyungsik with a wide smile.

"Wow, favorite Hyung?" Seo Joon placed a hand on his chest acting hurt.

"Ar!ana tickets is all it takes to replace me as your favorite Hyung?" Bogum jokes.

Taehyung and Jimin ignored the other two as they eagerly ask Hyungsik to let them come, to which of course Hyungsik agreed to.

He specifically made it a point to get the tickets in hopes that this concert will help cheer the other two up.

It was hard getting it from sca/lpers and expensive, but Hyungsik thinks it's worth it for his dongsaengs.

"Hyungsik, you'll pick them up?" Bogum asks.

Hyungsik nods in response as he takes his things.

"Will see you guys at the party?" Bogum takes a step outside, Taehyung and Jimin nod.

"You know, we're always here for the two of you right?" Seojoon turns to the two before leaving Jimin's house.

"I know heartbreak sucks but you know, life should go on." Hyunsik shrugged being the carefree person he is.

"Also, you two are so young, you should be enjoying your life not crying over boys." Hyungsik continues which earned laughs from everyone.

"Thanks, hyungs." Taehyung smiles in appreciation, they truly have the best hyungs.

"See you later hyungs." Jimin waves as the three older guys began leaving.

Jungkook: Oh my you are

Jungkook: Stick to Jimin and Hyungsik okay?

Taehyung: I saidf stopp 🖐🏻️

(End of conversation)

Jungkook wants to go to the concert venue especially when he finds out that Taehyung had something to drink. He can't have Taehyung wandering out in that state.

"Taehyung's drunk, I have to go." Jungkook gets out of the bar.

"Do you need help?" Hoseok asked, he is worried for Jimin as well, their new bartender trainees are doing well so they decided to let them take over.

Mingyu tells them he'll close up for the night so they can go ahead.

As soon as they reached their own cars, Jungkook rings Taehyung's phone in hopes that in his drunk state he will answer, to Jungkook's luck he did.

"Hello?" Taehyung giggles, Jungkook is absolutely sure he's drunk.

"Baby, finally you answered." Jungkook sighs in relief.

"Kookie?" Taehyung was taken aback.

"Yes, yes baby, it's Kookie."

"Okay bye," Taehyung flatly spoke upon the realization.

"No, no don't hang up" Jungkook begs connecting his phone to his car's speaker.

"Why not?" Taehyung mumbles on the phone.

"Baby please stay where you are I'll get you okay?" Jungkook talks over the speakerphone as he drives to the concert venue.

"No don't I'm going to stay at Jimin's," Taehyung tells Jungkook not knowing why he has to explain himself.

"Hand the phone to your friend who tweets a lot." Jungkook orders forgetting his friend's name.

"Hyungsik Hyung?" Taehyung pouts handing his phone to Hyungsik.

"Kookie wants to talk to you."

"Why...?"

"I don't know, I don't want to talk to him" Taehyung placed his phone on Hyungsik's hand.

"Where are you?"

"Exiting the venue," Hyungsik answered.

"Stay at exit E, my friend and I will pick them up." Jungkook sternly tells Hyungsik.

"Okay..." Hyungsik ends the call unsure.

As soon as Hoseok and Jungkook arrived at the concert hall they parked their cars near exit E, tons of people exiting the building.

Good thing Jimin is being so loud that they easily spotted them.

"You can take Jimin home, I'll take care of Tae," Jungkook instructs Hoseok who nodded as they approach the three college students.

"Let's go." Jungkook wraps his arm around Taehyung's waist.

"No, no let go." Taehyung struggles to get out of his grip.

"Hyungsik Hyung!" Taehyung calls out.

Jungkook looks at him telling him that he'll take care of Taehyung, Hyungsik had no choice left but to let them.

He knows Jungkook and despite Taehyung's story, he doesn't think that he should interfere with whatever it is that's going on.

As they reached the flat, Jungkook tries to help Taehyung but Taehyung kept pushing him away.

"Don't touch me." Taehyung snaps as he tries to walk to the bathroom in his drunk state.

Jungkook felt like he got kicked on his stomach by Taehyung's words.

"Let me help you." Jungkook softly offers as he reaches for Taehyung's shirt.

"No, go away! Why am I even here?!"

"Tae, just let me." Jungkook tries to help Taehyung get out of his clothes just to be rewarded by Taehyung's hand pushing him away.

"Stop! I said go away!" Taehyung screams as he gets in the shower fully clothed.

The shower drenching him, Taehyung's back hits the wall as he slowly slides down, sitting on the tiled floor.

Curling his body as he hugs his knees, Taehyung began to sob.

"Baby please." Jungkook's heart ached at the sight.

"Go away!" Taehyung sobbed as he hugs himself.

Tears began falling from Jungkook's eyes as Taehyung's cries got louder, he caused this.

Jungkook thought.

"It's not like what you're thinking Tae when you left he left as well," Jungkook explains as he crouched down turning the shower off.

"And if I wasn't here then? You would've slept with him? On our bed?!" Taehyung accused Jungkook as he starts to sober up.

Jungkook's heart felt like it was taken out of his chest.

Without caring about the wet floor and Taehyung's drenched clothes, Jungkook wraps his arms around Taehyung's body.

"No, No I would never." Jungkook tightens his hold around Taehyung's shaking form.

Taehyung gave up on fighting Jungkook's touch.

Taehyung's tired.

Ever since Jungkook, his heart hasn't caught a break.

One moment he's happy, the next he's in pain.

Taehyung felt like he lost himself amidst the chaos, amidst the whirlwind that is Jeon Jungkook.

"I don't think I can do this anymore," Taehyung admits as his breathing calms down.

Jungkook, upon hearing these words panicked, took Taehyung's hands in his.

"Baby, please don't say that," Jungkook begs, he begs again, and he will continue begging.

"Do you really think I would do that? When I just asked you to move in with me?" Jungkook hurriedly explains not wanting to leave a time for Taehyung to plant any more doubt.

"You had your life before me Jungkook, you had beautiful people over all the time, I can't seem to believe that all of those desires just disappeared because of me, I'm nothing compared to them." Taehyung leans back on the cold tiled wall giving Jungkook a weak smile.

He's just Taehyung, how would Jungkook truly be satisfied with just him?

Taehyung almost chuckles at the thought.

He's nothing but a piece of baggage.

He's nothing but his awful past, his awful parents.

He's nothing but a tragic story.

Taehyung thought.

"That's where you're wrong." Jungkook leans closer, his hand cupping Taehyung's cheeks.

"You are everything to me Taehyung." Jungkook whispers, his voice full of sincerity, full of love.

Taehyung can hear it, he can feel it, but he can't seem to believe it.

"I'm tired," Taehyung admits with a weak smile.

Truly he is tired, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

"Let's fix this, please?"

"I'm not sure anymore Jungkook." Jungkook's heart shatters at Taehyung's confession.

"You don't love me anymore?" Jungkook's voice breaking, his breath starts to get uneven.

"I do, you know I do," Taehyung answered to Jungkook's relief.

"Then what are you not sure of?" Jungkook dared to ask.

"If I made the right decision."

"I don't know what I'm doing anymore, I don't know where we're heading. I just can't go on this blindly." Taehyung explains.

"Then let me guide you," Jungkook whispered softly.

"Please Taehyung, I know I may be asking for too much but please just this one last time let me."

"Please."

Taehyung sighed, he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before opening his eyes.

"If this happens again, I don't think I can take it anymore," Taehyung spoke, Jungkook's heart starts beating fast as he suppresses a smile.

Taehyung is actually agreeing, Jungkook is over the moon.

"Does this mean, we're okay?" Jungkook tries.

"Let's try again?" Taehyung offers the best answer he can give.

Which is more than enough for Jungkook.

Jungkook pulls Taehyung closer, his lips crashing on Taehyung's soft ones.

God, did Jungkook miss Taehyung.

Taehyung sighed in the kiss, he loves Jungkook that he's willing to try again.

One last try. Taehyung thought.
