Chapter 5: Admit

Taehyung was biting his nails, and hugging his knees while sitting on the bed. He couldn't believe he met Jungkook's kidnapper right in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but feel nervous for some reason and kept overthinking.

He was too occupied with his thoughts that he didn't even notice that his nails were bleeding. There are a lot of questions in his brain.

What if Jungkook's abductor came back to do what he did to Jungkook?

No, that can't be, right?

Jungkook is an adult now, there's no way he could lure him again.

But what if that person already changed? That can be possible, right?

People change, don't they?

He just came back to his senses when he felt a slap on his arm.

“J-Jungkook” He uttered, looking at Jungkook with shocked eyes.

“Are you insane? Can't you feel pain?!” Jungkook grabbed his right wrist.

And Taehyung just noticed his nails were bleeding. He watched Jungkook wipe off the blood after ripping his blanket.

“What are you thinking about? Don't you see what you've just done to your nails?!” Jungkook grumbled, glaring at him.

“I-I'm sorry” Taehyung uttered.

He hissed in pain when Jungkook poured alcohol into his nails. He just felt the pain right now.

“What do you think you're doing? Are you out of your mind?!” Jungkook scolded him.

“I-It's nothing, I was just thinking of something. I didn't notice I'm bleeding.” Taehyung muttered, avoiding Jungkook's eyes.

“What is it?” Jungkook asked.

“Huh?” Taehyung looked at him with confusion.

“What are you thinking about that made you do this to yourself?” Jungkook clarified his question.

“It's really nothing, I just got scared of nothing.” Taehyung lied.

He would rather not tell Jungkook about his abductor. He wasn't sure how Jungkook will react if he found out that person was out of jail. He was also scared of what else Jungkook can do to him.

“You should take a rest instead of thinking nonsense.” Jungkook let go of his arm after the bleeding stopped.

“Wuh-where are you going?” For some reason, Taehyung was scared of Jungkook's safety.

He doesn't know what that man's real intention is for now, but he doesn't want Jungkook to go through what happened to him before. Taehyung still blamed himself that day.

“Out” Jungkook simply replied.

“Wuh-when are you going to come back?” Taehyung asked.

Jungkook stared at him, he found it odd that Taehyung was asking him questions.

“Why do you want to know?” He responded, looking at him.

“Nothing, but please make sure to come back safely, please, Jungkook.” Taehyung said, holding Jungkook's right arm.

“I will” Jungkook ruffled Taehyung's hair, assuring him that he will be fine.

Taehyung smiled a bit and Jungkook left his room. His anxiousness didn't leave his body, he leaned his back on the headboard while overthinking.

It was almost 4 in the morning, but Taehyung was still awake. He kept bouncing back and forth since he couldn't sleep. It was obvious that he was getting paranoid. He flinched when the door of his room opened. Luckily, it was Jungkook again.

“Here, drink this.” Jungkook gave him a sleeping pill.

Taehyung did not hesitate to drink it to calm down his nerve. Jungkook was simply watching him gulped down the sleeping pill. He took a deep sigh and looked at Jungkook.

“You should probably take a rest, you are not in a good condition to attend classes.” Jungkook told him.

“I-I don't want to, I-I'm scared.” Taehyung admitted with a hazy mind.

“What are you scared of?” Jungkook asked him.

Tears immediately fell from Taehyung's eyes, remembering the man he met in the store.

“I-I saw him, I saw that man who kidnapped you, Jungkook.” Taehyung sobbed.

Taehyung was trembling so badly and his time was shaky. Jungkook went to his bed and hugged him.

“Shush, it's nothing, Hyung, calm down.” Jungkook comforted him.

“I'm scared, I'm scared that he is free again. What if he kidnapped you again? I-I don't want that to happen again.” Taehyung cried.

“I told you, it's nothing, you should close your eyes, okay? Don't think of anyone else, just think of me, Hyung. There's no one else besides us here. Let's just sleep, yeah?” Jungkook told him.

“Don't- please don't leave me, Jungkook.” Taehyung weakly said when the sleeping pill finally worked in his body.

He was just sniffling while his head was stuffed on Jungkook's chest with his eyes closed. He could feel Jungkook's hands caressing his back, which made him calm a bit.

“I won't leave you, Hyung, that's not going to happen again. No one will separate us ever again. I love you, Hyung, I love you so much.” That's the last thing Taehyung heard, making him fall asleep.

Once Jungkook heard Taehyung's snore, he carefully laid him down on the bed. He covered him with the blanket and looked at him. Dry tears were on Taehyung's cheeks, at least, he was able to calm him down. 

“You are beautiful, Hyung, if you are not thinking of anything. Just stay like this, don't think of anything. I will get rid of anyone who will come between us, so you don't need to worry. I'm here, I'm always here by your side. ” Jungkook pecked Taehyung's forehead and wiped off his dry tears.

He stared at Taehyung's face and a smirk was formed on his lips.

“I finally saw you, I will have you in my hands again, just like back then.”

Someone said while looking at someone's house. That person was watching a familiar guy who lives inside the house.

“Just because they were able to recover you, that doesn't mean I will stop. I will start where I stop, we will start over and over again.”

That person's chuckles can be clearly heard in the area.

“We will reunite again, soon, just wait for me.”

That person lit up the cigarette and blew out the smoke while smirking.
