(This honestly satisfies me so much so I thought I'd just put it right here.)


Taehyung slowly backed away, "I- I- um."

The younger got nervous, feeling his heartbeat speed up. "Y- You don't have to say it right now if you don't want to. I just thought you should know that I do." Jungkook kept his eyes focused on the floor as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well... thank you..." The older trailed off, knowing right away he had made it even more awkward.

"Yeah... no problem." Jungkook sighed, regretting ruining their moment.

Taehyung's heart ached when he saw the hurt on his butler's face so he grabbed his hand and placed it in between his,

"Jungkook, I do care for you a lot, but-"

The younger cut him off, "No, I understand. You don't have to explain yourself." Jungkook looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's about time for me to be somewhere anyway. I'll see you later. You'll be okay until then, right?"

Taehyung mumbled out a 'yes' as his butler took his hand back and left the room. Jungkook didn't even slam the door loudly, but Taehyung kinda wished he would have. After all he deserved it.

Fuck. What did I just do?

He laid down on his bed, thinking that if their conversation had gone a little better maybe he wouldn't be in bed alone. His thoughts didn't last long however, before he fell into a two hour nap on top of his blankets.

Waking up, he rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and he felt a little better until he clearly recalled his conversation with his butler.

With a 'ugh' he climbed out of the warm ness of his bed and shivered as soon as his warm feet touched the cold floor. Walking to the kitchen, he couldn't help but wonder if Jungkook was back yet.

He saw Yoongi making dinner and the older immediately showed off his gummy smile when he saw Taehyung.

"Hello, Mr. Taehyung. Can I help you with something?" He asked when he noticed the younger looking around.

"Um- Yeah, actually. Have you seen Jungkook?" Taehyung asked as he shifted his weight from one leg to the other.

Yoongi scrunched up his nose in thought, "No, I haven't seen him since he left a couple hours ago."

"Oh." Taehyung responded as his face fell.

Yoongi smiled, trying to reassure the younger. "I'm sure he'll be back soon."

Taehyung managed to return a half smile, "I hope so."

"TAEHY- oh there you are." Mr. Kim said as he barged through the door. "I need to speak with you in the living room."

Before anyone could respond, he turned around and walked back out of the kitchen.

Dumbfounded, Taehyung followed.

He saw his father sitting on the couch and he patted the spot next to him.

The younger obliged, sitting down with a confused expression.

"I'm just gonna come out and say it," Mr. Kim sighed, running a hand down his face. "I just received a resignation letter from Jungkook. It seems he quit his job."

Taehyung opened his mouth to speak, but between the feeling of his heart dropping in his chest and sheer confusion, nothing came out.

"Son, I know you're confused. So am I, but this isn't like Jungkook. Something doesn't seem right and I'm going to look into it, okay?" Mr. Kim tried to give a reassuring smile to his son as he placed his hand on top of Taehyung's.

But all the younger could think was,

This is all my fault.
