FAILING IN LOVE | VKOOK

Chapter 24:

"When I said you're the problem I didn't mean them," Jungkook replied. His eyes already filling with tears and his nose red.

"Then tell me. Why am I the problem? What did I do?" Taehyung said with slight desperateness.

"The way you treat me is the problem," Jungkook said taking the older aback.

"You always treat me like I'm some toddler. Yeah, it's okay that you drop me at college and then pick me up from my work but I hate it when you act like I can't do shit by myself! You treat me like a fucking baby like if you leave me for a fucking second, I'm hopeless a piece of shit. Like I'm some fucking responsibility for you that if I get hurt you're doomed! I'm a grown-ass man for fuck sake!" Jungkook yelled at the older causing Taehyung to lose his patience.

"Because you are a responsibility to me, Jeon Jungkook!" Taehyung almost, growls out.

"No! I'm not your fucking responsibility! I work too. I income money too. I can pay for my goods, I can pay for my food, I can pay for my shits, all you're doing is letting me stay here! And letting me stay here doesn't mean you can boss me around! But if you want I can give you rent for staying here too just STOP FUCKING CALL ME A RESPONSIBILITY!!"

Taehyung froze on his spot completely after what he heard from Jungkook. Seriously? How dumb he could get? After knowing Taehyung for almost 4 months now, all he gets is THIS? This is what Jungkook thinks Taehyung is?

"Seriously? You think you're a responsibility to me in that way?" Taehyung said calmly, too calmly because it's not worth yelling at Jungkook anymore. Because he wasn't mad at Jungkook, he is disappointed with the boy.

"Do you even know what kind of responsibility you're for me? Taking care of you is my responsibility, making sure you're not hurt in any way is my responsibility, making sure if you're comfortable, if you're feeling independent, if you're feeling free, if you're focusing on your future, your health, giving you a perfect life that your family couldn't give you. That's what of a responsibility you're for me, Jeon Jungkook. Everything is not about money." Jungkook widens his eyes in realization and looks down in guilt while biting his lower lip.

"Don't forget where did I found you, Jungkook. You were in the pits of your life completely alone and lost. You were about to give up on your life when I take you here, you were suicidal, you had trust issues with literally everybody, you had depression, nightmares, a rough past, and an abusive relationship. But still, I gave you my shoulder to give you the perfect life, if not perfect at least a better life you deserve.

It's just four months since you came into my life. And still, it's a too short time for me to just leave you in the street without a single worry for you after knowing about your mental health. I worry for you that's why I always try to stick with you as much as I can because I know very well you're still uncomfortable between strangers.

That's why I don't allow you to go anywhere alone, I'm not bossing you around I'm just simply worried for you.

That's what of a responsibility you're for me."

Jungkook grip the hem of his sweater and started to sob. He doesn't know why he's feeling so emotional. He should've felt guilty and he's feeling guilty for assuming wrong things about the older but what's with him becoming so emo?

"Hell, I can spend all the goddamn money I income all over you because I'm a fucking lonely man in this fucking world! What am I going to even do with all those money? Nor do I have someone to spend them to and nor I'm spending it on myself. I'm just living my plain boring life like the plain boring clothes I wear. You're right, I'm just a boring person because the color of my life is not in this world anymore."
