JUNGKOOK'S POV

...Jungkookie looked really scary.

I gripped the glass of water in my hand and stared at the sink while the words he said before sank deeper and deeper into my heart. 

I-I scared him. I put my palm on my face and sighed. I am like some kind of a monster to him now. I am pretty sure now he will never ever forgive me.

I gulped down the water in one go and took another glass and refilled it for him. I took the pills from the kitchen cabinet and headed back to the room. I walked in and saw him sleeping in the same position like the last time I left the room before heading to the kitchen to calm my nerves. 

I bent down on my knees and touched the cheek were I slapped him. It was warm. It must have really hurt him when I did that, both physically and mentally. I gently rubbed it with my palm and I heard him let out a deep breath like a sigh of relief. 

I hope that the hand I hit you with can heel your pain too. I stared at his closed eyes and mentally slapped myself. What the heck did you mean by that senseless thing you said in the starting? I shook my head and removed my hands from his cheek. The second I did, the warm feeling faded and was replaced by the cold.

I got up and decided to sleep since it was almost midnight, but then how could I sleep in this condition. I decided to just roam around the room and just waste time till he gets up. And so I went, off on a voyage to explore Taehyung's room. 

I stared at the pin-up board. It was dark so I switched on my phone's flashlight and shone it over the board. The entire thing was covered with pictures of him and the gang. I smiled when I saw them smiling at the camera, eyes twinkling with joy and their smiles beaming with happiness. From the looks of the pictures on the board, they seem to enjoy a lot without me. So, if I leave Seoul, will they miss me or celebrate my absence? 

My eyes suddenly wandered to the corner of the board where I saw an eighteen year old Taehyung laughing with Jimin. I stared at the boxy smile of his and I smiled. I missed those days when we used to annoy each other and when we were fake boyfriends. If I hadn't fallen in love with you, will we still be together, as friends? 

I heard him groan and looked behind to see him toss and turn on his bed. Just pray that he doesn't get up and scream when he sees the person he hates the most, holding a torch and looking like a fricking ghost. I looked back at the board and reached out to touch the young Taehyung's picture. Just as I touched it, the board fell down and landed on the floor with a soft thud. 

Did I just make it fall with just one touch? Hehe...I am powerful! Now, that's stupid. I bent down and picked it up when I saw something fall off from the back of the board. What is that? I picked it up and realized it was a paper. Is it some kind of a secret thing or something? I shone my flashlight on it and saw it was a grey paper. 

Curiosity kicked in and I opened it. It was some sort of a letter. 

Dear lover who probably hates me now,


*******


Somewhere in New York~

"So, did it work?" Jeon Sung-ho asked Leishi who was on the other side of the call, busy painting her toe nails white.

"Yes. It did. Jungkook fought with him."

"Wonderful!" he exclaimed with joy and laughed like a heartless warlord, "Now since Taehyung is out of the picture, I think it is time to schedule the wedding soon."

"Wait, the wedding?"

"Yes, my dear," he said and smirked to no one, "I thought of arranging the wedding a bit later, but now I want it to be done fast."

"But why so early? There are a lot of things we have to go through and—"

"In case we don't do it early, Taehyung will come back and take Jungkook with him. Do you want that?"

"No," she replied after a pause. 

Sung-ho smiled and continued, "Leave the wedding preparation and destination to me. The wedding will be held in Italy itself."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Leishi squealed with joy, "When is it going to happen?"

"Probably in three weeks."

"Th-Three weeks?" she asked and he smirked

"Yes. I guess three weeks is enough for me to arrange the marriage and get you both happily married. Now I have to complete some important stuff, so I will be seeing you later. Bye, my dear." He cut the call and kept the phone on the table. Soon, everything will go back to the way it was. He leaned back on his chair and smirked to himself

Oh my Taehyung, it is so sad that you had such a terrible past. But you need to remember this. No one messes with Jeon Sung-ho.

JUNGKOOK'S POV

I sat on the bed, right next to a sleeping Taehyung who was softly snoring. I ran my hand through his hair and sighed when I felt the soft, silky hair curl in between my fingers. I kept playing with his hair, twirling it with my finger and messing it up. 

"Why won't you tell me what really happened that night, Taehyung?" I suddenly asked him, hoping for an answer to pop out from his mouth. But there was no response. He had gone away to his dream land and left me to figure out what that grey letter meant.

Nothing made any sense to me. He loved me, but he said no when I asked him to be my boyfriend. He wanted me, but he couldn't get that. There was someone who forced him to say those words to me, but why?

My hands clenched into fists as I thought about how Taehyung must have felt rejecting me. I was angry at myself for thinking Taehyung was the bad guy here who gave me false hopes, but instead he was doing this for a reason and for both of us.

"But what is it?" I asked again to the dreaming Taehyung, "What are you hiding from me? Why are you scared that I might leave you when I get to know the truth? I...I-I can nev-never leave you Taehyung."

I leaned back on the head rest and put my hand on my mouth to prevent myself from sobbing. Though no voice came from my mouth, the tears from within poured out and slowly trickled down my cheeks.

"Why did you just assume that I would leave you?" I sobbed in between my words and looked at him, "Why, Taehyung? What is so horrible about the truth that you don't want to tell me?"

No response. All those empty questions in my head kept multiplying and started to cause me a headache. 

But to think that all this time the person who rejected you, who broke your heart and made you suffer for seven years, had actually loved you from the start. I raked my hand through my hair as the main question in my head began to annoy me.

Who was that person who told him to do that? 

But why would they even do that? Why would they want me to stay away from him? Is it because being gay is not good or we weren't meant for each other? 

"Hmm..." I turned to Taehyung and saw him inching closer to me. I tried to push him away, but the more I pushed him the more he would come closer to me.

Without any warning, he wrapped his arms around my left arm and pulled me down, causing me to fall in an awkward position.

"Sleep," he muttered and there was that same silence again. His face was too close to mine and I gulped down nothing when I could feel his warm breath on my lips. 

I slowly inched myself away and off the bed, carefully making sure that I didn't wake him up. It was best if he didn't see my face early in the morning. I walked out of his room and slowly closed his door without making any noise. Looks like the couch is my bed today.

I laid down on it and heaved a sigh. He loves me, but he can't love me and this not loving and loving shit is driving me crazy. On top of that, I have no clue what will happen tomorrow. Will it be the last time I will see him ever again?

I shook my head and snuggled on the couch. If I hadn't slapped him and fought with him, then I would have had a chance at getting him back  and everything would have gone back to being normal. But after that incident, will our lives be normal? 

If he refuses to work with me or even see me, I am going to find out who forced us to separate and rip their skins right off of their bones. Even if he forgives me, I am still going to rip their skin off.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Where am I? I looked at the digital clock next to me and the numbers shone 3:30 a.m. Shit! Why am I awake so early? I groaned and sat up on the bed. Suddenly a wave of pain shot into my head and I clutched it with both my hands. I looked around for a glass of water and surprisingly I found it on the table and right beside it were the pills for an headache.

I gulped the content and heaved a sigh of relief. There! The pain has finally subdued, now I can rest in peace. But how did I get here? Jimin?

I got up from my bed and made my way to the door. I opened the door and looked into the dark living room.

"Jimin?" I called out and switched on the living room lights. I saw someone sleeping on the couch and when I went closer to inspect, I gasped when I saw Jungkook sleeping there.

What is he doing here? Did he bring me here? That's bullshit! He hates me and probably doesn't want to see me at all. I walked away and headed to Jimin's room. But when I opened the door, the bed was empty. 

If Jimin is not here that means, Jungkook was the one who brought me here? I looked back and saw him stirring in discomfort. He was shivering and was rubbing his arms for warmth. I don't know what came over me, but I ran into Jimin's room and took out the quilt from the bed. I took it back and laid it over Jungkook.

Just as I did that, he woke up and stared at me. We stared into each others eyes, totally forgetting about the surrounding around us. But then I quickly came to my senses and backed away. I saw him sit up and he stared at me with those dull eyes.

"Uhmm...hi?" I said and he raised an eyebrow, probably confused on why I said hi to him all of a sudden, "Uhmm...I just wanted to ask you...uhh...why are you here?"

"You were drunk. So I came to take you back home. Luckily nothing happened to you," he said and I nodded. Why did he have to help me? What were the other six idiots doing?

"Uhmm...okay. I will be—"

"Taehyung," he called out to me and I stopped moving, "I am sorry."

._._._._._._._._._._._._._.

So both of them read the letters that were not meant to be read (LOL) Ooo...also there is a pretty big spoiler here. It is not written in simple words. It is a bit twisted...so it may take some time to find out. But it is a biggy spoiler. Hehe
