"What?! He's in the hospital?", Lisa yelled into her phone after she decided to call Jungkook's mother when Jungkook didn't show up at school. The group skipped their first class of the day and now they were on their way to the hospital. "Why is he there? Is he okay? Did something happen?", Lisa kept asking question followed by question while they sat in the car Jennie's father sent them. But the only reply she got was to ask Jungkook themselves.

When they got into the huge building they immediately made their way to the secretary girl and asked her where Jungkook was roomed.

-

"Kookie!", Jennie and Lisa yelled out when they ran into the room of the boy. Jungkook was asleep but when the girls jumped right onto him he woke up pretty fast and groaned annoyed. "ugh-", he sighed but all he could do was to gasp for air because Lisa and Jennie decided to cuddle the boy at least three times before they climbed under his blanket and hugged him tightly. "We're so glad you're okay", Lisa said softly. "What happened? Did someone attack you?", Jennie then asked and their faces turned into worried expressions.
"I don't exactly want to talk about it", Jungkook gulped and his gaze suddenly stopped when he saw Taehyung standing there, in the back of the room. He was looking shy and worried at once while he stared at Jungkook. "Everyone in the whole school would be so jealous of you right now", he joked because he understood that Jungkook wanted him to distract the girls from what happened. And even if Taehyung himself had no idea, he knew that Jungkook needed his help right now.
"Why is that?", Jungkook asked and raised an eyebrow.

"You're in bed and the two hottest girls of the whole school are hugging you and making sure you're okay", Taehyung smiled.
"Too bad I'm gay", Jungkook sighed and gave Taehyung a shy smile.
"Does that mean you rather want a boy in your bed?", he asked teasingly and that's when Taehyung suddenly started moving across the room. He stopped next to Jungkook's bed and chuckled when the younger nodded with widened eyes. "If he's gonna hug me as tight as those two do, then yes", Jungkook mumbled and Tae took that hint and climbed on top of Jungkook. He softly pushed the girls aside and started hugging the boy. "I'm sorry Kookie-", Taehyung whispered.
"It's fine, I was expecting too much when I wanted you to stay for a whole day in class", Jungkook said. Yes, he was still mad because of this for the whole time. Tae didn't answer because he couldn't, so he only nodded.
"I'll be better", he promised.

And with that the group stayed in the bed for at least one hour, hugging each other tightly and just enjoying each other's presence.
To be honest, if anyone in the school would see that right now, they'd never believe that those guys were the same popular kids as in school. What was visible at this moment were their weak sides, they needed each other to be strong. And if one was hurt they all were. And by now- Jungkook was already a full part of them.

"Will you at least tell me what happened?", Taehyung asked when they were alone finally. Lisa and Jennie left to make some posters for Jennie's election as homecoming queen but Taehyung insisted on staying with Jungkook throughout the whole day.
"No, I wont", Jungkook giggled and shook his head.
But Taehyung didn't found it funny, so he simply grabbed Jungkook's arm where the scar was and looked at it.
Of course it was bandaged.
"Are you fucking serious?", he asked angrily when he looked at Jungkook who was still giggling like a kid to hide the embarrassment that came over him.
"The fuck- why are you laughing or even smiling you idiot", Taehyung shook his head and stared at Jungkook with a pissed expression. "You're cute when you're mad at me", Jungkook mumbled and wanted to pull his arm away but Taehyung held it. "Shut up", he hissed and laid down beside him instead of being on top of him. Jungkook started pouting and looked at Tae desperately. "Come on, get back on top of me  that's where you belong to", he begged but Taehyung only shook his head.
"I swear to god, in every other moment I would have fucked you right here in this bed. But right now all I wanna do is yell at you because you're such a stupid kid", Taehyung crossed his arms and got out of the bed. Jungkook also sat up and his expression finally got worried as well.

"I'm sorry, oh my god. I didn't know you care so much?", Jungkook mumbled and covered his bandaged arm.
"Just tell me why."

"Well my father got killed and the boy I like makes me feel unwanted, I'm being bullied and sometimes it's all a bit too much", Jungkook said and shrugged but Taehyung's face got even more mad. "And you think this is a fucking reason to kill yourself?", he asked. Jungkook gulped. "There's no good reason to do it Tae, I'm just sick of life. It never gets better."

That's when Taehyung lost it. He turned around for a second because he really tried to control himself but he couldnt.

"oh my god Jungkook", he cried out before turning around and facing him directly. "Do you honestly think the rest of us is okay? Or that we're not sick of life? Holy shit, how in the world do you give yourself the right to give up? There are people who care about you. Lisa cares, she's literally crazy over you little dumbass, Jennie always feels the need to protect you, your mother just lost her husband and needs her son, Yoongi is worried about your stupid ass as well and even fucking Jimin asked if you're okay after your dad died! There are so many people caring about you and what are you doing? You feel 'tired of it' and decide to just go? You want to go the easy way, huh? For fuck's sake, Jungkook. I've got a father who punches be on a daily basis until I'm on the floor and can't breathe. Guess why? Because I simply fell in love with a boy once and he still blames it on me, even though it's ended years ago. I can't be myself, ever. I have to fake it during school and even when I'm home. Don't you think I'm sick of sleeping with random girls and having to imagine it's a boy or else I wouldn't get off to it? Don't you think I'm sick of getting beaten up day for day just because I like boys a bit more than I should? There is this person haunting me and my friends for years, threatening us and killing people. This person killed Yoongi's brother, this person probably killed your father and who knows who's next! I've been through hell for at least a thousand times and I'm not even thinking about leaving my friends behind. And then there's you, being all whiny because you're sick of life. No one will bully you ever again when you're friends with us, the boy you like is a fucking stupid idiot for making you feel unwanted, tell me who he is and I'll hurt him too and yes, your father died but that's not even close a reason to die as well!"

Jungkook kept quiet for a moment to process everything the older just said.

"What about you?", he then asked.
"What?!", Taehyung didn't understand, he was still too mad and angry at Jungkook.

"When you mentioned the people that care about me. What about you? Do you care Taehyung?", he asked shyly.

But Taehyung only stared at him confused. "What the fuck-", he said. Was this all he was going to say to everything he just said?
"Of course I care about you Jungkook", he sighed heavily. "Or else I wouldn't be standing here right now, yelling at you for what you did", he crossed his arms.

"Okay, then I won't do it again", Jungkook promised.

Amd that's when Taehyung freaked out completely.

"Oh no no no. Don't you dare put this on me Jeon fucking Jungkook", Taehyung yelled out. "I'm not gonna be the one taking the blame on myself if you're gonna end up dead. I'm not gonna be your reason to live. No, for fuck's sake, no Jungkook. I won't be the one taking all the pain when you decide to just run away from it again. I don't deserve that, I have way too much pain to deal with, I won't take this part on me. Get yourself together because I won't be the one fixing you. I need to fix myself first."

Jungkook gulped and looked away to hide the tears. "I'm sorry-", he mumbled but Taehyung shook his head as well because he felt tears crawling up as well. "Sorry doesn't make it okay. You're not allowed to be like that, to make me feel something and then fucking die on me", he said and felt the tears streaming down.
"Make you feel something?", Jungkook asked curiously.

"Yes Jungkook, you're making me feel shit I didn't want to feel since me and Jimin broke up", and that's when Jungkook started crying as well.

Jimin and Taehyung?
