A Mutually-Assured Attachment ✔️

Part 14

***

Jungkook rings the doorbell to Taehyung's mansion, making sure to resemble that innocent behavior and posture to try to get Taehyung to forgive him because he desperately wants to get back in the house, to earn you back to himself.

Taehyungs rushes to answer the door – expecting to be welcomed by one of the businessmen with whom he had been waiting to discuss the new project – only to be greeted by the worst businessman he had ever met.

Jungkook.

"What?" Taehyung barked, rolling his eyes and then crossing his arms, not inviting Jungkook inside the house.

"Kim Taehyunggg, guess what?" Jungkook chuckled anxiously-awkward, grinning at the solemn expressioned man in front of him. "I got you a new car." Jungkook gestured to Taehyung's new car, which he had just purchased. Before coming here, Jungkook went to buy a Genesis GV80 SUV, which has lately become Taehyung's favorite, because he broke his car's side mirror during an argument and felt it would help Taehyung forgive him more quickly.

"Are you suggesting I can't buy a car with my salary?" Taehyung scoffed, taking Jungkook's intentions the wrong way. He thought that Jungkook came to insult him again about who makes more money and all.

"No, I broke your side mirror last time so I wanted to buy you a new car." Jungkook admits holding the new car keys in front of Taehyung, gesturing to him to take it.

Taehyung looked at the keys and then at Jungkook who was smiling like a child. "We're not friends anymore, why are you here?" Taehyung glared, having no desire to see this man's face or even hear him talk.

"I came here to say...sorry," Jungkook looked down and gripped his eyes trying so hard not to make it obvious that the apology was forced out of him and that it was not meant from his whole heart. "I'm sorry, can we be friends again?" He looked back up pleading Taehyung with his puppy doe like eyes.

Taehyung gazed for a moment, unmoved by his friend's fake apologies, then broke out laughing, deliberately making it louder and increasing it to see whether Jungkook would become enraged since it would indicate whether he was truly sorry or not.

Jungkook frowns and clenches his jaw, but he holds back his rage because he doesn't want their friendship to be ruined again.

Taehyung then takes a breath and conceals his laughter with a dead serious look. "No." He just says and decides to close the door in Jungkook's face, but Jungkook quickly steps in and stops Taehyung from closing the door.

"No please, don't do this. I can't live without you!" Jungkook whined trying hard to hold back the door open as Taehyung was pushing it with all his force to close it.

"Oh so now you changed your identity?" Taehyung grunts as he tries hard to push the door to close but Jungkook seems to be stronger than him.

"What- no! I didn't mean it that way," Jungkook explained, realizing Taehyung took it the wrong way when he said he couldn't live without him. "I meant to say, I don't have anyone else except you. Please, I'm sorry!" Jungkook's voice cracked as he repeatedly pleaded and whined at Taehyung for being friends with him again. 

"You have Jimin, go back to him. I don't need you." Taehyung groaned, getting irritated by Jungkook's childish behavior. Him and Jungkook were both pushing the door to either keep it close or open but none of them gave up. They both just kept pushing on the door.

"Jimin went to Luxembourg, I don't know when he's coming," Jungkook being the strongest at last pushed the door hard and eventually won against Taehyung at keeping the door open.  Taehyung, enraged at Jungkook, clenches his hands and fires daggers at him. "Besides, you're my favorite friend. I want to be friends again please I'm sorry, I regret it." Jungkook played innocent.
