Jungkook's phone continues to ring repeatedly as he lies in the bed of the hotel room he decided to get for the remainder of his stay in Seoul.

He knew that after he told Jongsuk that the older wouldn't want to see him anymore.

He wouldn't want him around anymore and Jungkook didn't blame him at all.

    "Hello?" He answers before the call rings out.

    "Hey, baby. Where are you?" Jongsuk asks worriedly. "I thought you said~"

    "I'm on the way." Jungkook says sitting up and grabbing the key to his rental. "I got held up in traffic."

    "Okay...what's wrong?" The older asks, deciphering Jungkook's tone easily.

The younger sighs, more tears pricking his eyes. "We have to talk, Jongsuk."

    "About what? What is it?" Jongsuk asks worriedly.

    "You're at your house right?" Jungkook asks walking out of his room.

"You're worrying me, Kook." The older says.

    "I know, I'm sorry." The younger says, taking a breath before speaking again. "I'll be there in a little bit and I'll explain everything."

    "Okay. See you in a little bit." Jongsuk says,worry still laced through his words. "I love you."

    "I love you too." Jungkook says, closing his eyes briefly as he steps onto the elevator.

The drive to Jongsuk's house is much shorter than Jungkook thought it would be and before he knows it he's sitting across from the older on a expensive couch avoiding eye contact.

    "What's wrong?" Jongsuk asks for the fourth time since they've sat down, Jungkook's silence eating him alive.

    "Last night I went out with Jin, Taehyung, and Jin's boyfriend Namjoon," The younger starts, keeping his eyes down. "we went to a bar near the hotel."

    "Yeah, you told me." The older nods, trying to figure out where the younger was going with this.

    "Everyone was drinking and we were having a good time but we drank more than we should have and Taehyung ended up having to take us each back to our room." Jungkook explains. "I said and did some things that I shouldn't have and...things happened that shouldn't have happened."

Jongsuk's eyebrows draw together as his expression changes. "What do you mean things happened? What things?"

The younger sighs, tears pricking his eyes. "I kissed him. He told me not to but I did anyway and after that I said things and things~"

    "You slept with him?" Jongsuk asks, his tone foreign to Jungkook.

    "I slept with him." He responds, looking up at Jongsuk with tearful eyes.

The older just stares at him as if he's waiting for him to tell him he's joking, that this wasn't real. "Are you serious?"

    "I know I fucked up, Jongsuk. And I~"

    "You said you were over him." Jongsuk says with narrowed eyes.

    "I wanted to be, I really did, but I can't get over him. I'm in love with him." Jungkook says honestly. "I can't help it, Suk~"

    "You said you loved me."

    "I do, I do love you."

Jongsuk stares at him in disbelief for another moment before standing from the couch.

    "I didn't mean for things to happen like they did, Jongsuk. I didn't want to hurt you because I genuinely do care about you." Jungkook says standing. "You mean a lot to me and you've helped me so much~"

    "I helped you? What did I help with? Keeping you distracted?" Jongsuk asks angrily. "Did you use me to keep your mind off of him?"

    "No. It was never like that." The younger says stepping forward only for Jongsuk to step away. "I was happy when I was with you and it was never about distracting myself."

    "You cheated on me." The older says, still having a hard time processing it. "And you still haven't said you were sorry."

Jungkook sighs softly. "I regret hurting you, Jongsuk. But I don't regret what I did."

    "Really?" Jongsuk asks, his voice straining through his emotions despite his attempt to keep his composure.

    "I never wanted to hurt you, that was never my intention, you have to know that. I love you but I'm in love with Taehyung." The younger explains. "I'm not saying this to hurt you I'm saying it in hopes that you somehow try to understand."

    "Understand what? Do you want me to tell you that what you did was okay?" The older asks in confusion.

    "I don't need you to tell me that it was okay. I know I was wrong and for that I'm incredibly sorry, Jongsuk. You're a person that means a lot to me and I'm sorry you had to get hurt." Jungkook says wiping the tears from his eyes. "I can't change what's in my heart for Taehyung and I can't just pretend it isn't there. Not anymore."

Jongsuk turns away from Jungkook as his own emotions start to show.

    "You've been too good to me, Jongsuk. You've been an amazing friend and boyfriend to me and I loved every minute we were together. That's the truth." The younger says. "I know I was wrong and I know it seems impossible to ever try to forgive me right now but just please, try to understand that I can't control who I fall in love with."

The older nods his head but remains silently turned away.

    "I'm sorry things had to end like this." Jungkook says trying to swallow his tears.

    "Yeah, me too." Jongsuk says, his voice thick with pain and sadness as he walks away from Jungkook with his head down to hide his tears.

The younger releases a shaky breath as he watches Jongsuk disappear down the hall. 

    "I'm sorry." He sighs once more before showing himself out of the large house.

When he gets in his car he dials Jin's number as he regains his composure.

"Hey, Jungkook. Did you catch your flight yet?" The older answers.

"No, actually. I caught a flight to Seoul and I was wondering if Taehyung was home or if he was at work today." The younger says, his voice giving away his emotion.

"What's wrong~"

"Is he home, hyung?" Jungkook asks closing his eyes as he fights off the urge to cry.

"Yes. He's home." Jin says, worry obvious in his tone.

"Thank you. I'll talk to you later." The younger says ending the call.

Jungkook drives to Taehyung's house with a strange feeling of loss in his heart.

He felt like he lost a best friend when he lost Jongsuk.

After a while he's standing outside the penthouse pressing the buzzer repeatedly.

"I'm coming! For the love of god have you lost your fucking~" The door is snatched open to reveal Taehyung dressed in one of Jungkook's hoodies and a pair of sweatpants. "Jungkook?"

The younger brushes pass him into the apartment, taking him by the wrist and sitting him down on the couch.

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung asks in confusion.

"Just be quiet and listen." Jungkook says.

"Why are you in Seoul~"

"Please, shut up and listen. Alright?" The younger asks, Taehyung nods. "I know that you're probably beating yourself up over what happened last night and I want to tell you to stop. And to not apologize because I'm not sorry about a thing that happened between us last night."

Taehyung wants to cut it but he remembers that he's supposed to be shutting up.

    "Last night I was the happiest person alive and waking up to that shitty apology made me feel like you regretted what happened." Jungkook says honestly. "I know you feel guilty because I'm in~ because I was in a relationship but you don't have to. I wanted last night to happen and I'm happy it did."

    "Jungkook~"

    "I'm in love with you, Taehyung." The younger says. "You know I'm in love with you and you love me. I'm supposed to be following my heart and that's exactly why I'm here. Because I want to be with. I need to be with you, Taehyung."

Taehyung doesn't know what to say as Jungkook sits down next to him on the couch and takes both his hands.

    "You said it yourself that I make you better and you make me better too. We can be better together." Jungkook chuckles. "You make me feel things I never felt before, Taehyung. Last night you made me feel safe and you made me feel like the luckiest person in the world. I want to feel like that all the time, I want to be with you."

"What about your business? You're at the peak of your career right now you can't just drop everything, Jungkook." Taehyung points out. "You're so successful~"

"I know. I'm fucking rich, but so what? I'm sick of hearing about how happy I should be with all my success." The younger says in frustration. "I'm grateful for everything but that doesn't change the fact that I still feel like something's missing. You're missing, Taehyung. You're the best part of me and you're missing. How can I ever be happy like that?"

"I don't know what to say." The bluenette sighs.

"Say you'll be with me." Jungkook says in an obvious tone. "Say you'll spend the rest of your life with me, Taehyung. I promise everything will work itself out. I'll take care of you and we'll be happy. Because you make me happy and I want to make you the happiest person in the world because you deserve it."

Tears start to form in Taehyung's eyes at Jungkook's words.

"I've missed you so damn much and it's been killing me being away from you. We wasted so much time, Tae." Jungkook says squeezing his hands gently. "I'll figure out the clothing line and I'll figure out how to run headquarters from here but I can't be away from you any longer. It literally breaks my heart to be away from you."

Taehyung chuckles softly as tears fall down his face, Jungkook immediately catching them with his thumbs as he takes the older's face in his hands.

"Please be with me, Taehyung." The younger says with longing and desperation in his voice. "I need you."

"I'd be an idiot to let you go again."
