the sound of the door being pounded on resonated throughout the whole house as taehyung hurried towards it.

"who is it?!" he yelled, his eyebrows furrowed as he opened the door to a fuming jungkook who pushed him aside as he stepped into their shared apartment.

"j-jungkook... you're home." taehyung stuttered as he stared at the familiar face.

"afraid I'll catch you doing something?" Jungkook mocks, cocking an eyebrow.

"doing what? anyway..." taehyung starts as he closes the front door, "it's good that you're here. we need to talk."

"yes. we need to talk. you want to tell me why you're harassing il ri?" jungkook asks as his tongue pokes the side of his left cheek.

"harassing? what do you mean jungkook? that's what she told you and you didn't even ask about my side of the story."

"bullshit! she's trying to be friends with you because she knows you love her and when she tries she gets this stupid treatment?!" the taller male barks, glaring at the other who fiddles with the base of his shirt.

"jungkook..." taehyung trails, walking closer to the said male,"just listen to me-"

he gets cut off by a hit to his cheek which turns his face to the side. tears of sadness, anger, pain and humiliation fill his eyes.

"you cheating bastard. don't touch me! are you deaf?"

"now I'm the cheating bastard huh jungkook? you're the one who cheated on me with il ri! it was you who cheated you asshole!"

"shut up! don't go opening your mouth and saying shit."

"tell me to my face right now. tell me to my cheating face that you haven't cheated on me with that devil in disguise."

"don't tell me what to do! you don't have the right to!"

"then don't avoid questions I ask you jungkook! you cheated didn't you? didn't you?"

"you cheated first taehyung! don't bring this on me! you and that- that stupid friend of yours! I fucking saw the both of you!"

"you didn't even let me explain it Jungkook! how can you just-"

"I saw you kiss him! in the mall! you kissed him!"

taehyung chuckled, glaring at Jungkook.

"so that was enough reason for you to cheat on me jungkook?"

"it's more than enough."

"you know what they say then." taehyung says as he wipes his eyes, "birds of the same feather flock together. you and that il ri. you're going to pay for hurting me like this. I thought you changed you- you- I don't even know what to say to you!

you know what they say, once a playboy, always a playboy." taehyung says as his head turns to the side again his lip starting to bleed.

"you're fucked up."

"I hate you jungkook." taehyung said as he licks his bleeding lip, fists clenched on his sides.

it was so familiar. everything was so so familiar.

taehyung could only stand and watch as jungkook walked out of the front door again.

heaven or hell knew when he was going to return.

~+~

taehyung hissed as he pressed the cold bag of peas on his cheek, tears falling down his face and snot leaking from his nose and he made no attempt at wiping them off.

what had his life become?

two months ago, he was laughing and smiling in Jungkook's arms and now, Jungkook was laying his hands on him.

why did he change?

Jungkook changed like Bogum did. it was the same exact way. did he get cursed in the love department?

it couldn't continue like this anymore.

he needed help.

he nodded as he picked up his cellphone which lay beside him, the third number on speed dial ringing as he brought the phone up to his ear.

no answer.

"he does not want me too. he hates me now too. look how unwanted and stupid I fucking am. why do I think anyone would want to be with me?"

Taehyung shook his head. positivity. he needed to stay positive. they love him. right?

no one loved him. not even Jimin or Hobi or Yoongi. which is why they weren't answering his calls.

they hated him because he disturbed them too much.

he took a deep breath as his phone rang. sliding the green button, he brought the phone up to his ear.

"hey Hobi." Taehyung said, a pained smile plastered on his face.

"what's wrong? I'm so sorry I didn't answer your calls, we were seeing a movie."

"I'm sorry I ruined your time with your fiancees. I'll call you back later alright?"

"no. no. you didn't ruin anything baby. what's wrong?"

that question alone was enough to break Taehyung's resolve as he started to pour his heart out.

"J-jungkook Hobi. he- he's changed. Jungkook's cheating on me Hobi! I can-can't take it anymore. he..."

"wait what?!" Hoseok yelled over the phone, making Taehyung flinch. "that bastard! how dare he?! Jimin! call Jungkook right now!" Hoseok barked.

there was a fumbling sound and Taehyung cried, his cheek stinging with so much pain.

it didn't hurt as much as his heart. he could feel his heart crumbling to pieces as the seconds went by.

"he's not answering Tae. I'll kill that fucker I swear to it."

"he hit me too." Taehyung whispered which was next to quiet.

"what?"

"Hobi he hit me. it feels like Bogum is back again Hobi. Jungkook has changed so much. that isn't the man I fell in love with. he's someone else." Taehyung cried, wiping his eyes.

"no. no. not again. I'm coming back to Korea and I swear I'm putting that bastard in Jail. I can't do anything from here." Hoseok said, sniffling.

"you don't have to Hobi. I just needed to talk to someone. enjoy your life Hobi. don't worry about me I'll be fine."

"Tae, don't tell me-"

Hoseok gets cut off by Taehyung ending the call. he slides down the chair, tears falling from his cheek.

fuck. he just made a mistake. Jungkook hit him the first time because involved the others in their relationship.

what did he just do?

hi!

late update I know.

I'm sorry. if you made it this far, I'll just let you know...

the next chapter would be terrible. you don't have to read it though.

I won't give any other spoilers but after the next chapter, it's not that bad anymore.

at least tae told Hobi now. Hobi would help them right?

anyways, I dunno how to feel as I wrote this abomination. forgive me y'all.

good bye!
