TAEHYUNG'S POV

"OUCH! Gentle you, asshole," I hissed at the contact of the medicine with the wound on my cheek.

"Your fault for helping me, asshole," Jungkook said to me before brutally pressing on my wound again.

"Ouchie!! Can you be a bit gentle? I told you before and I am telling you again. You were lucky I saved you from her, okay? So it was not my fault. It was her fault for wearing such a sharp ring," I replied back and winced when he touched the wound again.

That girl, I forgot her name, was wearing a ring on her index finger and it hit my cheekbone when she slapped me. None of us noticed it till we reached the car and Jungkook screamed when he saw it bleeding. So, he took me to my place and was currently trying to bandage it.

"It was kind of her fault, but it was your fault too. Who the heck told you to invite her to bed?" he scolded me and I pouted at his word. Who is he supporting—me or her?

"She told 'F**k you'. So, I thought she wanted to do it and that's why I said all that."

"You are dumb," he replied back and leaned back to look at the wound, "I cleaned it now. Time to bandage it."

"Can't we just leave it like that?" I whined and he shook his head.

"An open wound like that will get infected. You have to protect it from dust, germs and water, so shut up. I am going to put the bandage on it."

I nodded and he carefully put the bandage right over the mark. Right after he did that, I ran to the mirror and looked at my face. Oh damn!

"I LOOK LIKE SETH!" I yelled at the top of my voice and giggled. 

"WHAT?!" Jungkook yelled from the living room and I ran out there. 

"I look like Seth!" I yelled at him again and he raised his eyebrow in confusion. Looks like he has no clue. I took out my phone and searched my gallery for his picture. When I found it out, I shoved it at his face.

"That's Seth," I said to him and he nodded. What? No 'cool' or 'awesome'! 

"He looks better with the bandage than you," he said and I nodded.

"Anime guys are always the best," I said and he shook his head, "So, what are you doing here now?"

We looked at each other and for a moment, there was this awkward silence in between us as we stared at one another. 

"I am staying here," he announced and my eyes widened.

"WHAT?!"

"Till Jimin comes back," he continued and I sighed. Phew! "By the way, you never talked much about your boyfriend. What was his name? Zucchini...Zeku...Ze—"

"It's Zetsu not Zucchini," I whacked his shoulder lightly and he chuckled.

"Right. So, Zetsu and you...how long have you guys been going out?" he asked me and I bit my lip. How long should I tell?

"Five years," I said and he nodded. 

"How did you guys meet?" he asked and I sat down beside him on the floor with my legs crossed and facing towards him.

"It was like destiny," I started and I saw him roll his eyes at me, but I just brushed it away, "It was five years ago when I was watching '2gether series' on a bench in the park. I was all alone, until he sat beside me and saw that I was watching his favorite series. And that's when we started to hang out. 

"He loves anime and so do I. He loves watching drama and so do I. He loves dogs and so do I. It was a match made in heaven. And slowly and slowly we fell in love and one day he asked me whether I wanted to be his boyfriend. With no hesitation, I leaned forward and kissed him. So amazing!"

I looked at Jungkook who was just smiling at me. Okay...why is he smiling like that? It looks sad. Was it a good idea to tell him all that?

"You guys must really love each other," he said and I nodded.

"We love each other so much." He chuckled and nodded. 

"You ditched Zeref and Natsu for him. How mean can you be!" he said and shook his head. I managed to keep a smile or else by now I will be laughing like an idiot. 

OMG! JUNGKOOK! How dumb can you be! If he used at least 5% of his brain, he would have realized that Zetsu was actually Zeref plus Natsu.

Like Taehyung X Jungkook is equal to 'Taekook', similarly Zeref X Natsu is equal to 'Zetsu'!

I am smart, right? Obviously I am. The story was literally fake, but the part where I said that I love him a lot, that is true. I love Zeref and Natsu to the core of my heart and there isn't a day I hate them. Finding someone I love more than them is totally impossible.

"You must be hungry," Jungkook suddenly got up, brushing off the invisible dust off of his pants, "I will make something for you."

"You can cook?" I asked him and he softly chuckled.

"Yep. I can."

"Oy, wait! Let me help," I got up and ran after him to the kitchen where he was busy inspecting the place. He saw me coming and laughed.

"No you are not. Or else you will add chilly to your wound," he said and softly patted my cheek where the bandaged wound was. I slightly blushed and shook my head. 

"I want to help!" I cried out and crossed my hands in front of my chest.

"Okay fine. Go suck a lollipop and be quiet," he said and I whacked his head before sitting on top of the counter. I watched him move around, looking for pans and scanning the fridge for the ingredients needed for his dish. 

"Do you have an apron?" he asked me and I nodded, "Where is it?"

"We have two of them. One is Jimin's which has tiny cat prints and the other is mine which has Pikachu on it. Pika Pika~" I imitated Pikachu in the end and he laughed.

"I will take the Pikachu one," he said and I pointed at a cabinet behind him. H opened it and took out a black apron with tiny Pikachu prints running around. He put it over his head and turned towards me.

"Tie it," he said and I nodded. He came towards me and turned his back to me. I picked up both the strings and pulled at it, making him fall back on me. I laughed and he punched my knee.

"Ass!" he muttered under his breath and I whacked his head.

"Language kid," I said and he rolled his eyes. I tied them and pushed him away.

"Hey! Treat your guest with more respect," he scowled at me and I stuck my tongue out at him. He shook his head and went back to cooking. 

I watched his every movement as he roasted the chicken in a variety of sauces. I looked at his face and he looked completely concentrated on making the food. So serious! I smiled when I heard him curse when he spilt a little bit of sauce on his apron. Hey! Isn't that my apron?

But I ignored that and went back to staring at him. I wonder why he had to break ties with H company just because she slapped me. I mean, it wasn't a big deal. It was kind of my fault for saying something like that, but it was also her fault. 

I looked back at him who was now cooking rice. He is weird. Like literally. Why the heck is he cooking for a guy who broke his heart seven years back?

I bit my lower lip as I remembered what I said to him last week. 

I left you because we are not meant to be together. I hope you remember that.

From the time I said that till now, I was literally feeling bad. He looked hurt whenever he saw me and that broke my heart bit by bit. Why did I have to be so harsh towards him? I buried my head in my hands and sighed. 

I am a horrible person. I lost my cool and said things that I never wanted to say and didn't mean at all. I looked up at him and he was giving a disgusted look when he tasted the curry. I smiled but it soon faded. Is it too late to say sorry?

"Uhmm...Jungkook?" I called out to him and he hummed. I could feel my palm getting sweaty and my heart beating fast. Why am I getting so nervous? Taehyung, you need to apologize to him. You broke him again, so don't feel nervous and man up. You can do this!

"Uhmm...you see, I—aren't you supposed to add more chilly powder to that?" I asked and pointed to the curry he was making. He shook his head and held out a spoon with the curry for me to taste.

"Suck it," he smirked at me and I gave him the disgusted look.

"Pervert!" I said and he grinned.

"Taste it," he held out the spoon in front of me and I tasted it. It was...

"Perfect!" I said and he heaved a sigh.

"I thought it was too spicy," he said and went back to cooking.

"Isn't it supposed to be spicy?" I asked him and he nodded.

"You don't like spicy food, right? So, that's why I decreased the spiciness in it." He still remembers that. I nodded and looked away from him. Should I say or not? Should I—

"Jungkook I am—"

"Don't apologize," he suddenly cut me off and I stared at him. How did he— "You are thinking about what you said last week, right?"

I nodded, still shocked on how he got to know about it. He switched off the stove and removed the apron before placing it on the counter. He walked towards me and smiled, "You don't have to apologize for that because it was true whatever you said that day."

"But—" he put a finger on my lips and shook his head.

"Don't," he softly whispered to me before backing away, "I cooked the food for you. Just make sure to eat it and sleep, okay?"

"You are leaving?" I asked him as I got down from the counter. He nodded and picked up his coat from the sofa, "But, I thought we were going to eat together."

"I am going back to my place for dinner," he sighed and walked towards the door, "Bye, Taehyung."

No...No...he can't leave me now. I still haven't apologized to him. I can't let him go. I watched him turn the door handle and I was still rooted to my spot.

Jungkook. Don't go.

*******

JUNGKOOK'S POV

He was going to apologize to me and I could have just accepted it, but I didn't want him to. I don't know why I stopped him. Maybe because I was scared that he was just apologizing to make me feel better. I shook my head and turned the door handle when suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me behind. 

I looked behind to see Taehyung who buried his face into my back. What is he—

I felt something cold touch my back and I realized he was crying. His tears were staining my thin shirt and making my back wet.

"Taehyung! Why are you crying?" I asked him and pulled him away from me so that I could see his face, but he hugged me tighter almost crushing my rib bones.

"Don't go, Jungkook," he whispered into my chest and I bit my lower lip, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to say any of it."

"Taehyung, you don't have to apologize to me. Like I told you whatever you said was true and—"

"It wasn't!" he cried out and hugged me tighter, "It wasn't true at all. I was pissed when I said all of that. I didn't want to remind you of that day, but I did. I am sorry that I hurt you. I am so sorry, Kookie!"

Kookie? That name...I could feel my heart tighten when that name kept echoing in my head. I hugged him back and softly patted his head.

"We were both at fault, Tae," I whispered to him and he stopped crying. I smiled and buried my nose in his hair, "I shouldn't have said that to your face because you were right. I still believed you loved me deep inside and said all of that to make you feel sad and broken just like how you did to me seven years back. I wanted you to feel the pain I felt before, but it broke my heart when I did that. I am sorry for that. I forgive you for saying all that, but I can't forgive you for what you did seven years back."

I heard him suck his breath and I sighed into his hair, "You broke my heart that time, Taehyung and I still can't get over the pain. That time when I was suffering, the only person who could comfort me was you, Tae. But you weren't there for me, so I took in all the pain by myself. Getting engaged to Leishi was another thing. The plan I had been working hard on, it failed.

"A part of me missed you and waited for you to take me away from the pain and heal me back to who I was before, but you never came. I wanted to forget you. I wanted to bury you away, but it was still impossible. But now, I know the reality. I am going to get married soon and you have a boyfriend. But can I ask you this?"

I pulled away from the hug and placed both my hands on his shoulder and smiled at him, "Can we be friends? Like how we used to be before we fell in love? I want to ignore you badly, but I can't because a part of me wants you to stay by my side. We can't be lovers, but can we at least be friends?"

His eyes widened when I said that and I saw him gulp. What is he going to say? He nodded and I smiled. So now we are—

Suddenly he pushed me away and pointed his index finger at my surprised face.

"Listen here, you chicken head!" he yelled and I nodded, "I don't love you, but I like you, okay? So what I meant that time at the office is that I don't want us to date, but I like you as a friend and not as a lover. And that day when I broke your heart or whatever, forget that day, okay? That day should be buried deep inside and should be forgotten forever. We are now friends and not lovers. You got that? We can be f**k buddies if you want—NOPE! NOT THAT AT ALL! We will be friends and nothing more than that or nothing else, okay? And also—"

I smiled as he kept ranting the same thing on and on. Does he even know what is he even blabbering about? It was sort of hilarious to watch him getting flustered and annoyed. So...that means...we are friends!

"Okay, I get it. Now can you—"

"No! I am not done yet!" he cut through my words and I sighed. He went on again and it was kind of pissing me off. I am hungry and the food will probably get cold if he continues. So I did the most unexpected thing. 

I grabbed his waist with my left arm and pulled him towards me before smashing my lips onto his to shut him up. The kiss lasted only for a second and I pulled away to look at his surprised look.

"That is the kiss of forgiveness," I said and he was still surprised. I chuckled and leaned towards his ear and whispered, "This will be the kiss of friendship."

I kissed him again and pulled him closer to me. He didn't kiss me back, but the feeling of his lips on mine was what I missed for so long. I pulled at his bottom lip before breaking the kiss to let him breath again. He was still frozen and I was hoping deep down that I didn't give him heart attack. But luckily, I didn't.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!?" he yelled at me and pushed me away, "I thought we were friends and not lovers."

"That was a kiss of friendship," I smirked at him and he scrunched up his nose.

"That wasn't a kiss of friendship."

"Yes it was," I replied back with a huge grin plastered on my face.

"Bullshit! It is supposed to be on the cheek," he said and I giggled.

"But I like it on the lips," I said and before he could speak I pushed him towards the kitchen, "Let's eat now!"

Luckily the food existed or else he would have continued scolding me. But he kept glaring daggers at me the whole time making it difficult for me to eat. Why did I even kiss him on the lips? I should have just gone for the cheeks like a normal, decent person.

"I have a question for you," he suddenly spoke and I nodded, "What did you mean by 'reminding you of your position'?"

I literally choked on my food when he asked me that. He still didn't get it? I am pretty sure a normal human being would have gotten it by now, "It means that I am top and you are bottom."

"WHAT?!" he yelled and I realized what I said. Shit!

"Uhmm...I meant...uhmm...I meant that, I was the top that is the president and you are the bottom that is the assistant. So me top, you bottom, got it?" I said and he slightly nodded. Thank god!

"You are weird," he said to me and I chuckled.

"And you are an alien." He glared at me and I laughed. We ate our food in silence and finished soon. We kept our plates back in the sink and Taehyung walked me to the door.

"Bye, asshole!" he said and I sighed.

"Can't you be a bit nice to me?" I asked him and he stuck his tongue out at me.

"Die." he banged the door shut and I chuckled. What an idiot! I went back home with a happy smile on my face.

I am finally friends with him. Even though we are not lovers and it sort of disappoints me, I am glad that we are at least friends.

I walked into my room and suddenly I remembered something. Wasn't that my first kiss in seven years?
