[part 5]

so as planned jisoo stayed in the mansion with taehyung and jungkook

taehyung seemed hesitant and really uncomfortable with the mere idea of having 'devil's child' in his house but he did not voice it aloud

"could you stop calling her that?" jungkook groaned when they got in bed that night

taehyung had been complaining, rather, murmuring under his breath about 'devil's child'

"what are you talking about?" taehyung muttered, his voice so low it made jungkook's skin crawl

in a good way or bad was not known to shorter male

instead of answering jungkook glared at him and pulled the covers over himself, taehyung pulled out a book from under his pillow and propped the pillow up

taehyung would always read before going to sleep and jungkook didn't mind that

"good night" jungkook whispered and closed his eyes, he was facing taehyung's left hip, taehyung didn't say anything so jungkook closed his eyes

he laid still for what felt like forever but was only fifteen minutes, jungkook couldn't fall asleep and taehyung could tell even without looking

"what is it?" taehyung asked him without looking up from the book and jungkook jerked from unexpected interruption

"e-eh?"

"you can't fall asleep, what's heaving your mind?" taehyung turned the second page but jungkook stayed silent

"why do you hate me so much?" jungkook asked then, deciding to just fuck it

"i don't necessarily hate you. i hate interaction"

"interaction? what form of interaction?"

"any kind. speaking, touching, kissing... any one of them" taehyung murmured again and jungkook frowned

"but speaking is nice, it helps you get to know other person" jungkook complained quietly and taehyung let out a chuckle

"people are nothing but scum"

"that makes you scum too!" jungkook argued

"i know. i know that"

"then why-"

"there's no one you can trust in this world, never, only yourself"

"but there are good guys out there-"

"doesn't matter how good you are... deep down you're just a fucked-up mess, hanging on the threshold of hell and death and there's no going back"

"what are you talk-"

"jungkook, the world is not like you imagine it, it is not all rainbows and kind people, there is danger outside and there are monsters who are waiting to bite"

this was the first time taehyung called him by his nickname and as much as jungkook hates to admit it his stomach fluttered for a mere second

"you're just not used to kindness, i guess" jungkook still wouldn't give in

if taehyung didn't believe in genuinely good people jungkook will change his mind

he was determined to

"little jungkook..." taehyung looked down at jungkook, smiling briefly and patting jungkook's head

"you will understand when you will grow up" taehyung told him and okay, that's fucking it!
