Third person POV

" If anyone talked about my Taehyung in any disrespectful way or talked something that I don't like, I'll make sure they'll get fired and rot in jail for the rest of the life."

It was later at that night when Jungkook told those words to everyone in the company.Jungkook dragged Taehyung to his office room to check upon him if he was okay or not.

Taehyung was okay. He was way beyond from hurting because after those words no one can be hurt. How can he be hurt when Jungkook himself is concerned about him?

Taehyung was on cloud nine when Jungkook pulled him closer and wiped his tears Infront of everyone. He was ecstatic.

My Taehyung, my Taehyung ,my Taehyung -- all the day these two words were the only thing that Taehyung could think of.

On the other hand, Jungkook was also in thoughts, deep thoughts. Anyone who had seen them earlier at the morning can tell that Jungkook was furious and possessive. He was ready to murder those girls.

Jungkook knew he was not showing anything fake. He was really angry when he saw the tears in the younger's eyes.

But why-- Jungkook's mind was invaded with this question all the day. He couldn't find any answer to his question. But why he was so angry when he himself hurt Taehyung?

They both were in their own world of thinking and tried to find those answers. Tried to accepting the truth that is love.

Taehyung fell in love with Jungkook and he already accepted it but Jungkook didn't know if he is in love or not and if he is, then he doesn't want to admit it yet.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It was the day after the incident at the office when they were ready to go for the dinner. They didn't go that day and decided to go the next day.

Jungkook got off work early, checked his watch, took wallet, jacket and left his office. He saw Taehyung was not on his desk

Must be in the parking -- Jungkook thought and went to the lift to go to the parking lot. What he didn't notice that Taehyung's bag, phone, laptop were there on his desk.

He didn't think much and went to his car, thinking Taehyung might be there. But to his surprise Taehyung was not there too.

He again didn't mind, thought Taehyung might be at the reception. But he also knew that Taehyung would never wait there for him after the incident.

He called the receptionist and asked about Taehyung. But again he was not there. This time he got angry at the younger.

How can he leave like that...he could have just tell me he doesn't want to go...

Jungkook thought Taehyung ditched him for the dinner and left for home. He got Angry thinking about this. After he took his side he left him like that. His mind was invaded by this thoughts.

He threw his bag and files in the back seat and closed the door rather harshly. He loose his tie, took deep breaths to calm down his nerves.

He was going to start the engine when Hosoek called him. He received the phone as the elder cheerfully replied.

" Kook good luck for the dinner" Jungkook got more furious at the sentence.

"Hyung we are not going anywhere." Jungkook replied calmly but angrily.

"What?why?" Hosoek was confused at this point.

" He ditched me for the dinner." Jungkook uttered.

"But Taehyung's phone is here and his bag too. I'm standing Infront of his desk. He didn't leave." Jungkook was dumbfounded at this. He overreacted for nothing.

"But kook he is not here. And I'm the only one in this floor right now. And as far as I know him he'll not ditch you nor he'll left his things here like this. I'm standing here for the last 20 minutes and he didn't come back."

Jungkook furrowed his brows at this. Hosoek is right. Taehyung will never do something like that ever. Jungkook was blinded by his anger to notice that.

"Kook I think something is wrong." Hosoek said worriedly.

"Hyung wait there. I'm coming." Jungkook hang up his phone and ran toward the lift. For the first time in his life, he felt impatient to reach the 15th floor by the elevator.

The elevator sounded ding notifying him he reached at his destination. As soon as the door opened he ran to his office.

"Kook I've searched everywhere here. he is not here." Hosoek said panting.

Jungkook and Hosoek left the office and search the floor thoroughly but no avail.

Jungkook stopped at the hallway outside the washroom panting. He decided to call the control room to check where is Taehyung.

Taehyung was not a guy who works on impulse. He might be anywhere in the office building but then again he doesn't leave his desk very much.

Every possiblity crossed his mind. He was feared something might happen to Taehyung. Jungkook didn't notice that the lights of the washroom side were off and darkness surrounding the area until he heard a loud thud.

He snapped his head towards the sound and saw the washroom side was dark. He ran to the door and tried to unlock praying that the younger was there.

And indeed Taehyung was there. But not in the condition Jungkook was expecting him to be.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Jungkook was still working when Taehyung finished and went to washroom. He checked himself in the mirror.

He washed his face and fixed his shirt, tucked it in. Satisfied with his work, he was going to leave the washroom. He was only one there.

He flinched when the lights turned off. He couldn't see anything and started trembling. He tried to find the door but couldn't.

He searched for his phone in his pocket but couldn't find it. He left it in his desk earlier. His hands were already shaking.

Darkness--his most dreading fear. He despise the feeling. He loathe the words even.

The slight ray of light which was coming from the outside under the door was also now got turned off. It was the least thing he was expecting.

He was moving forward depending on that ray but when it turned off the pure darkness enveloped him.

Tears started to wet his cheeks. He couldn't think of anything right there.

He flinched when he heard someone's heels clicking sound behind the door. He couldn't decipher anything right then.

His mind was clouded with fear, body was shaking and trembling. His breathing was uneven and eyes were also started to get blurry due to tears.

He cursed himself for not bringing his phone with him. He just prayed that someone noticed and looked for him.

His knees started to buckle, standing was a task for him in the moment. Eyes started to get hazy, breathing hitched.

He understood he was having a panic attack. He tried to breath, rubbed his palms but no avail. More tears rolled down from his beautiful yet scared eyes.

Oh how much he want to run and never want to come here again.. how much he just want to run to Jungkook's embrace and want to tell him that he is scared. His Taehyung is scared.

He wants Jungkook to scold everyone for the lacking of management. He want Jungkook's warm hands to caress his palms and rub his back for comfort. He wants Jungkook to hug him and never leave him.

Moreover He want Jungkook.

Taehyung started to loose his consciousness. His world spin around him and he slowly fall to the floor with a loud thud.

His eyes were close to shut when he saw the lights were again coming from the door, lighting the whole room bright slowly.

His breathing got sloppier and he lost his sense as a silhouette came running toward him calling his name desperately.

"Taehyung!"

He unconsciously heard the voice and relaxed after realising whom the voice belong to.

Jungkook

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Jungkook broke the washroom door as it was locked and was shocked to see the lights off. He looked around and then his eyes fall on the certain person laying unconsciously on the floor.

He rushed to Taehyung. He sat beside him and hold the unconscious youner and started to shake the younger.

"Taehyung, Taehyung. Tae open your eyes." Jungkook called him again but nothing. The younger was not responding to him.

He felt like he'll also loose his sense. He placed his hand on the younger's forehead and retract his hands immediately. Taehyung was burning.

Jungkook didn't wait anymore and picked him up bridal way. He rushed to his office carrying the younger.

Hosoek saw them rushing and called the doctor and went to take the doctor from nearby hospital.

Taehyung was in Jungkook's office when he opened his eyes. He was laying on the couch in the office.

He slowly sit up and heard someone talking on the other side. His clutched his head in his hand which was throbbing like a bitch.

"Jungkook" he whispered and the sound of voice stopped.

Jungkook turned and looked that Taehyung was up and went to his side to help him sit up properly.

" You okay?" Jungkook asked as he sat beside the younger. Taehyung looked up to the elder and nodded.

"What happened?" He asked.

" You fainted at the washroom. I found you there and you were burning from fever. Doctor said you had a panic attack."

A flash light of earlier invaded his mind as he remembered the dreadful memory. A horrible pain hit him again and he hold his head in pain.

"Hey hey what happened? It's okay. relax." Jungkook said as he rubbed the younger back and pulled him closer.

Taehyung started sobbing at the memory. He really doesn't want to remember anything but the pain wasn't letting that happen.

Jungkook sat more close to Taehyung and pulled the younger close resting his head on his shoulder, hugging him side by side. His one hand caressing the younger's hair and other intertwined with him.

"Tell me what happened there." Jungkook whispered to him. Taehyung cried more and nuzzled more to the elder neck.

He told everything to Jungkook. How suddenly the light got turned off...when he heard the sound of someone's heels.... How he got a panic attack due to his fear... How he feared darkness.

His voice muffling due to crying and hiding in the elder's neck. Taehyung cried hard in Jungkook's embrace and Jungkook let him to cry just like when Taehyung let him to cry in the graveyard.

Jungkook listened to him carefully. He understood that someone did that purposely and tried to scare the younger. Taehyung was shaking while telling. Jungkook hold his hands more tightly and sit more closely if that possible.

He was furious. He was livid. After his warning, someone again tried to hurt his Taehyung and he won't just warned this time. He will find who did that and sue that person.

Taehyung stopped crying after sometime. But didn't look up from the elder's neck. Some sniffles were heard in the whole office room from time to time.

Jungkook was still caressing the younger's head and Taehyung was felling relaxed under his touch.

He was feeling much light weighted and started to feeling sleepy.

"Jungkook, I'm sleepy." Taehyung utters slowly. His voice can barely be heard.

Jungkook shrugged his every thoughts for now and controlled himself. He felt guilty. He thought Taehyung was suffering because of him.

He didn't know that for now but it was true that Taehyung was suffering because of him and when he'll know about this he'll kill that person.

Jungkook didn't know why he was feeling so vulnerable seeing the younger so weak. He felt powerless.
And he didn't want to think that yet again. That he might--

Jungkook picked up Taehyung again and left the office as the younger rest his head on Jungkook's wide chest. Taehyung's well curved and slim body were nothing compared to Jungkook's masculine one.

"Let's go home." Jungkook whispered to the younger and left the office room as the younger went to a sweet slumber, holding Jungkook closely.
