30: The Talk

"How was your visit?" Jungkook asks as he brings his  roommates a glass of water each, "I bet you had fun."

"Oh we had fun, a lot of fun." Taehyung looks at Jimin by the corner of his eye.

"I bet your grandmother took really good care of you." Jungkook adds.

"Yes, she did." Taehyung lies.

He does not want Jungkook to find out about where they went. Neither does he want him to discover what they did.

As Jungkook is about to go to his room, Jimin stops him. "Jungkook," he calls out, "We need to talk about something."

No, we do not. Thinks Taehyung.

Taehyung's head snaps towards Jimin as he looks at his friend with a look of horror. He can bet they will cause a ruckus and that Jungkook is going to lose his trust in them and then leave.

"About what?" Jungkook innocently asks, his doe eyes glimmering with curiosity.

"Sit." Jimin motions at the couch parallel to theirs.

Jungkook walks over to the couch and sits on it like a little child. He looks at Jimin and Taehyung, waiting for them to continue.

"Do not," Taehyung whispers to Jimin but Jimin ignores him completely.

"We did not go to visit my grandmother," Jimin says.

"What?" Jungkook asks, unable to comprehend the situation.

"Jimin, please do not," Taehyung says loudly this time, "This is not right!" He nearly shouts.

"Well, what we did was not right either!" Jimin snaps back at Taehyung, "If we could have done what we did, then we can tell him about it too. There is no shame or fear in saying this to Jungkook." Jimin explains.

"Did you guys hook up or something?" Jungkook asks, clueless of the context of Jimin's words.

"What? No!" Taehyung answers, "Why would we do that?"

"I do not know, you just gave me that vibe." Jungkook tells.

"Wait," Taehyung pauses, "I give you homosexual vibes?" He softly asks.

"Well, it is just me thinking," Jungkook replies, "It may or may not be true." He shrugs.

Taehyung raises his brows.

"Coming back to the topic," Jimin fake-coughs loudly, "Jungkook we need to have a serious talk."

Jimin's gaze — this time — is enough to make the aura turn dark. His eyes seem to be filled with solemnity. "I'll start by saying that we did not go to visit my grandmother." Jimin says.

"Where were you then?" Jungkook softly questions.

Taehyung looks at Jimin for one last time before he drifts off into his state of anxiety. His adrenaline rushed through his body, making more uncomfortable by each second. Time just does not seem to pass for Taehyung. Apprehension, trepidation and nervousness load him up. He's scared of the ramifications.

"We were at your psychiatry." Jimin says.

Jungkook does not say a thing. He has an unreadable expression on his face. He is immobile. The situation is so silent that Jimin and Taehyung can hear the rhythm of their hearts beating.

After what seems like a long, affrighting pause, Jungkook finally heaves a slow sigh. He blinks repeatedly before asking, "You were at my psychiatry?" He further says, "How did you find out?"

As soon as Jungkook asks this question, Taehyung finds himself envisioning Jungkook leaving. He scoffs nervously, gulping a lump of his own saliva.

"I read your diary," Jimin says, "I found while cleaning your room."

"Why would you touch my diary?" Jungkook asks, "You should have asked for permission."

"I know," says Jimin, "And I regret sneakily going though your diary. But we had witnessed you facing trouble during nights, and then the sudden ‘Polly’ visit came up. We were unsure of asking you about it, so we thought we would find things out our way." Jimin explains.

Jungkook looks down at his lap. Heaving a deep sigh, he asks in a tremulous, soft voice, "How much did you find out?"

"We know why you ran away," Taehyung — astonishingly — speaks up this time, "We know what happened. We know about your dreams coming true, and we know that you miss Yoongi." Taehyung says.

Jungkook's eyes are still glued to his lap. His hands have slowly formed fists and a tear glides down his cheek as he gulps a lump of his own saliva.

"We had no intentions of offending you," Jimin says, pacification in his voice, "We just wanted to help you out, that is it. We deeply apologize for any sort of trouble, discomfort or problem we have caused you via this." Says Jimin.

No response comes from Jungkook's end.

"Listen," Taehyung speaks, "Just like Jimin said, we are sorry for any kind of odium we have caused. But we wanted to help you out. You suffer at nights, we know that, and we just wanted to end your suffering. No one likes it when someone they care for can't sleep because of something they want to get over but can't."

Taehyung further says, "I do not know how you feel about us going to your psychiatry, neither have I any idea of your perspective on this thing. But I can assure you that, if you give us a chance, we will do anything to help you out. The rest, is your choice."

Jimin stands up and looks at Jungkook one last time before he plans to head towards his room.

Just as Taehyung is about to go away, Jungkook whispers under his breath.

Both Jimin and Taehyung stop on their tracks, turning around to face Jungkook.

"I need a hug," Jungkook timidly says, "May I get one?"

Jimin walks over to Jungkook and spreads his arms wide. Jungkook snuggles into Jimin as Jimin wraps his arms around the younger male's body.

"Thank you," murmurs Jungkook, sniffling.

How was it? I hope you liked it! I tried to add some intensity into this chapter because when I pictured the ‘talk’ scene in my mind it actually looked quite amazing. I do not know how well I ended up writing it.

This scene was emotional and Jungkook's reaction was so cute please I'm crying. It was so nice, he hugged them. 😭

I'm also sorry for the late update, I have got a tight schedule and high-school is being so damn horrible and I'm so angry right now. 😠🤬😤😡

But, if you liked the chapter make sure to comment down your thoughts on this chapter, you can share your theories (if you have any) and DON'T FORGET TO VOTE for the chapter!

Stay safe, take care!
