Chapter 31: Do(n't) worry

The mood between them in the car was so silent, none of them even bothered to talk or do something. Taehyung just kept fidgeting his fingers due to nervousness earlier. He can't believe he got crowded like that just because of rumors. It never happened to him before, and it scared him so much that he almost passed out.

“Are you okay?” He heard Jungkook ask him with a worried tone in his voice.

“Y-yeah” He replied while biting his bottom lip."

“I'm sorry, this shouldn't have happened at all if those rumors didn't spread.” Jungkook said, feeling sorry.

“What are you sorry for? This is not just your fault. I'm involved with this, we're both not aware that the media are watching us.” Taehyung stated, looking at Jungkook.

“Still, I'm sure that I'm the reason they did that. They want to create a scandal about me.” Jungkook replied.

“No, it's not like that, it's our fault. Please, stop blaming yourself, Jungkook.” Taehyung told him.

“I can't help it, Taehyung, I felt like I always ruined your life. Even since the beginning, I'm always the reason your life is so messed up. I just want to fix everything, why have I always failed to do that?” Jungkook uttered, frustrated.

He stopped the car for a moment, so they won't end up in an accident. He already looked so frustrated that it even showed on his face. Not only that, but he kept fisting his hands due to his frustration.

“All I want was to fix what I ruined, am I asking for too much? I don't want this to happen at all. Why is everything messed up even though I am being careful of my actions? Am I doing something wrong? Why am I so stupid?” Jungkook gritted his teeth, pushing his hair to the back.

“Jung---”

“What else do I have to do? Am I not doing enough? Am I really the worst person?” Jungkook teared up.

To calm him down, Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's fisted hand and held it. Jungkook looked at him while he soothed his hand.

“Jungkook, please calm down, I know you are upset about what happened, but I'm totally fine. You don't have to blame yourself for it, so please, calm down. Y-you are scaring me, Jungkookie.” Taehyung admitted that he felt scared seeing this kind of Jungkook.

He looked at him with teary frightened eyes which were worked when Jungkook let out a sigh.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I was out of my control with my emotions. I'm deeply sorry.” Jungkook brought up Taehyung's hands that were holding his own hand and pecked the back of them in order to assure him that he calmed down.

“I-it's okay, Jungkookie, can we just go? I'm tired today and I want to take a rest.” Taehyung gave him a smile before pulling out his hand from him.

“Okay.” Jungkook sighed and started to drive away.

Taehyung bit his bottom lip, he felt heat going through his cheeks for some reason when Jungkook pecked his hands. He didn't expect him to do that. They arrived at the Hotel where Taehyung was currently staying in. He came out of the car while Jungkook stayed inside.

“Jungkook”

He called Jungkook and, of course, Jungkook immediately looked at him.

“Be careful while driving. Don't let your anger drive you while you're driving, okay?” Taehyung reminded him.

“I will.” Jungkook gave him a forceful smile.

“Please, text me, I want to make sure you'll be safe once you arrive home.” Taehyung told him.

“Don't worry, I'll be fine.” Jungkook said, while his lip formed thin.

“Jungkookie, promise me that you will text me, please.” Taehyung knew that Jungkook wasn't fine.

“I will, I should go now, you must be tired. Take a rest, good night.” Jungkook closed the door of the car and drove away.

Taehyung sighed and shook his head before going inside the hotel to go to his room.

Worried, Taehyung can't help but gets anxious about Jungkook. It's been 2 hours since Jungkook left, and he hasn't received a text yet. He already finished his night routine, just waiting for Jungkook to text him.

With a frustrated sigh, he sat down on the bed while drying off his hair with the towel. He tried to call Jungkook to check on him, he wanted to clear his thoughts about what might happen to Jungkook. Biting on his nail, he didn't get a response to any attempts. It was his 12th attempt right now, but he still failed.

“Calm down, Taehyung, he's fine, Don't worry about him, he didn't get in any trouble, okay?” Taehyung tried to calm himself down.

He laid down on the bed to take a rest, hoping it would ease his anxiousness. But his nervousness grew more when the time passes. He grumbled under his breath and contacted Jimin instead. He got Jimin's number with a help of Hoseok.

"Hello, this is Jimin, who is this?”

“Hi, uh, this is Taehyung, ahm, I just want to ask you something.” Taehyung responded.

“Oh, Taehyung, what do you want to ask?” Jimin asked.

“Have you been with Jungkook? I'm just assuming that he might go to you, did he?” Taehyung inquired.

“Ah, yeah, he did. We just got drunk, and it seemed he was upset, but he didn't tell me anything. But, why did you ask?” Jimin told him.

“Nothing, I just want to know if he went home safely. I've been texting and calling him, but he didn't respond to me. Is he okay?” Taehyung stated.

“It's quite surprising to hear you saying getting worried about my friend. Were you the reason he drank again?” Jimin retorted with obvious sarcasm in his tone.

“Can you please just tell me if he's fine? I'm genuinely worried about him, okay?” Taehyung sighed, frustrated.

“Hah, it's always you, why would I need to ask if the only reason for Jungkook's misery is all because of you? Anyway, you don't need to worry about him, he's fine. I brought him back to his house because he can't drive alone.” Jimin replied, finally clarifying his worries.

“Thank you for telling me, that's all I need to know.” Taehyung uttered.

“Next time, if you can, please go away from Jungkook. I'm so tired of seeing suffering just because of someone who can't even acknowledge his sacrifices. You shouldn't act as if you care about him, I'm sure you are enjoying seeing him like that. And don't bother him anymore, please.” Jimin said to him before ending the call.

Taehyung bit his bottom lip, trying to control his tears to fall. He doesn't understand why it hurts him. But Jimin is right, isn't he? He shouldn't get worried at all because Jungkook is nothing to him. RIGHT?
