Chapter 27: Are you okay?

The next day

Jungkook is currently running inside Hoseok's company. He was contacted by Hoseok earlier to talk about something important. He was sure that they were going to talk about the date.

Not only that, but he's a bit under the weather due to his excessive drinking last night, but he is okay, just got a hangover. He checks his phone notification after feeling it vibrate in his pocket.

While scrolling through his phone, he went inside the elevator and pushed the button on the floor where Hoseok's office was. He failed to notice who's a person is he with inside the elevator.

Well, both of them failed to notice each other because their eyes were focused on their phones. Furthermore, the elevator got a technical problem and the electrician took a sign in the lobby for a while.

Jungkook was a bit surprised when he noticed the lights flickering above him. He looks at his surroundings and just notices Taehyung was with him. Their eyes met for a moment before Taehyung decided to break it and pushed the “Help” button on the elevator.

They both felt the awkward sensation between them, but none of them bother to speak or do something to ease the awkwardness. Taehyung curses under his breath when he realized that there's no signal in the elevator.

He moved back to be able to have space between them and hugged himself to not show his side being claustrophobic. He tried to control his breathing to help him alleviate his nervousness.

“Are you okay?” Jungkook asked him, noticing that something was off him.

“Don't go near me.” He sternly replied and bit his bottom lip.

He hates the feeling of being trapped, he felt like he is in danger if he's in small places, and it worsened because Jungkook was with him. He's okay if he's with others, except for Jungkook.

“I'm not going to do anything to you, but are you really okay?” Jungkook didn't move but asked Taehyung due to his concern because he can clearly hear Taehyung's heavy breathing and feel his anxiousness.

“Shut up, I don't want to hear your voice, okay? I don't need your help, I'm fine.” Taehyung insisted, swallowing hard and tears building up in his eyes.

It was obvious that he is not fine, but Jungkook have no choice but to listen to him. But it got worse when the lights were totally turned off, and he can only see darkness.

“Oh my gosh” Taehyung mumbled in fear.

Taehyung pushed himself to the corner, not knowing what to do.

“I'm fine, they're not here, they won't hurt me.” He kept muttering to himself, hoping that he will be fine after remembering about those bullies who beat him up.

With his shaky hands, he scrolls through his phone to open the flashlight but due to his clumsiness, it fell to the ground upside down.

“Stupid, Taehyung, stupid” Taehyung cursed under his breath and crouched down to take his phone.

“Taehyung”

But the electricity out of nowhere started to spark.

“No! Please, don't hurt me, I'm begging you!” Taehyung is in a panic attack and covered his ears with his hands.

“Hey, Taehyung!” Jungkook crouched down to go near Taehyung, but Taehyung kept pushing himself to the corner.

“Stop! Don't hurt me! Please!” Taehyung yelled while crying.

Jungkook turned on Taehyung's flashlight and put it down on the floor to at least light up the elevator.

“Taehyung, it's me, I'm Jungkook!” Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's face to calm him down.

Taehyung looked at him with teary eyes.

“Jungkook, is that you?” Taehyung asked in a shaky tone.

“Yes, it's me, Taehyung, it's me.” Jungkook assured him in a calming tone.

Tears fell from Taehyung's eyes and immediately crawled toward Jungkook, hugging him tightly as if his life depends on him, thinking that he is still in the past.

“Jungkook, stop them, please they are going to hurt me. They're after me, help me.” Taehyung cried on Jungkook's shoulder and clutched his fist on his shirt.

“No one is here, Taehyung, only us. You don't need to worry, no one going to hurt you.” Jungkook told him and softly patted his back.

“No, no, no, she ordered them, she wants me dead, Jungkook. They will kill me, I don't want to die.” Taehyung sobbed, shaking his head aggressively.

“Calm down, love, it's okay, everything's okay, I'm here. I'm going to protect you, baby.” Jungkook comforted him while Taehyung pushed himself closer to Jungkook.

“Don't leave me, please, don't leave me.” Taehyung muttered, hiding his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck.

“I'm not going to leave you, I'm just here. Trust me, Taehyung.” Jungkook caressed the back of Taehyung's head.

It seems to be working because Taehyung nuzzled his face on Jungkook's neck, liking the comfort there.

“Breathe in and out, baby, can you do that for me?” Jungkook asked because Taehyung is still shaky.

Taehyung nodded his head in response, but still didn't leave his position.

“Do it slowly for me, okay?” Jungkook said so Taehyung would calm down.

Taehyung hums and does what Jungkook said while Jungkook is counting on him. He didn't bother to move because Jungkook smells good and it comforted him for some odd reason.

“You're doing great, love, keep doing that until we get out of here, hm?” Jungkook uttered, caressing his head so softly.

Taehyung pushed himself to Jungkook, not minding if he was between Jungkook's legs, and kept hugging him. While trying to calm down, Taehyung felt sleepy. He snuggled closer to Jungkook and slowly fall asleep because Jungkook kept caressing him as if he were a baby.

Jungkook just noticed that he is sleeping when he heard Taehyung snoring. He let out a soft giggle and just let Taehyung sleep.

After a whole 30 minutes, the elevator finally opened. There are Hoseok, Jimin, the electrician, and some others peeking to see what's happening.

“Jungkook” Hoseok muttered somewhat confused to see them.

Jungkook didn't respond and carried Taehyung instead. Hoseok and Jimin exchanged glances and both shrugged off their shoulders.
