Chapter 9;
Hidden

 
  Taehyung wanted to hide behind them. He needed to hide behind them. He's too weak to do this on his own. And that's what he hates about himself. He can never stick for himself, he can never fight his own battles. He always needs someone to fight his own.

  Taehyung smiled sadly as he traced his steps around the store, holding his gifts he got for his hyungs and Jungkook. He felt the need to get Jungkook a gift even though they just met. But out of all the people he has met and bonded with over the past four years, he felt like Jungkook deserved a gift more. He helped Taehyung get through his panic attack and he cheered Taehyung up when he was feeling blue this past month.

  But of course, he also thought Yoongi deserved a gift too. He is in love with the older after all. Everytime he thinks of the older his heartbeat increases rapidly and his face heats up. He knew he had fallen in love with the older two years ago. He had always watched him from afar and watched him closely when he saw him dancing and smiling and even laughing. Taehyung would always blush and look away when Yoongi caught his gaze and cursed himself for getting caught. But after Yoongi apologized for causing Taehyung to have a mental breakdown, he has been a lot nicer.

  He sighed and walked back to his apartment with four bags taking up most of his arms. He really didn't want to go back home. He would rather go visit his cousin, Namjoon, and watch his boyfriend and him make out then go home. But he knew he was going to have to go back home, whether he liked it or not.

  He got up to his doorstep and rummaged through his pockets to try to find his keys but suddenly stopped. He looked around, looking at his neighbor's doors, thinking that the loud voices he was hearing was coming from them. But when he pressed his ears up to his own door, he groaned. The voices were from his apartment.

  "Who the hell is in my house and why?" he slammed the key into the key hole and unlocked the door and threw open the door, glaring at the intruders.

  He stared. "Jungkook?" He looked at the person next to him. "Yoongi?! What are you two doing here? And how did you get in?"

  Yoongi glared at Jungkook before smiling at Taehyung. "Jin told me where the spare key was,"

  Jungkook smiled. "And I just followed him here," he looked over at the older. "I saw him when I was walking by and wanted to make sure he wouldn't steal anything,"

  Yoongi growled. "Okay first of all; respect your elders! And two; I'm his boyfriend!" Taehyung blushed but laughed, quietly walking to his room with the presents.

  "So? You could backstab him an in instant! I'm just looking out for him," Jungkook glared, towering over Yoongi. Yoongi, however, wasn't fazed at all and kicked the younger in the shin, sending him to the ground.

  Yoongi smiled and looked at where Taehyung was once standing, but found him nowhere to be seen. He looked around, finally spotting him in his room. He watched from afar as Taehyung set the bags onto his bed and turned around, facing a closet. He watched as Taehyung stared at the brown wood, his eyes lingering in sadness. Yoongi saw how.. confused and sad the boy looked when he looked at the closet doors. Yoongi wondered what was hidden inside the closet that made Taehyung sad.

  He wanted to ask Namjoon, but he made him upset when Yoongi smashed one of his lamps onto the ground after he found out what the ring meant to Taehyung and what that bastard do to his Taehyung.

  Wait... my Taehyung? Jesus I'm going crazy, he's not mine.. Yoongi couldn't help but cringe at the next thought. Jimin is.

  Taehyung peeled his eyes away from the doors and froze when his eyes met Yoongi's. He stood there, a million thoughts going through his head.

  Was he watching me? Why? Did I do something wrong? Do I look weird? Does he know what's inside? Where's Jungkook? Taehyung looked past Yoongi and saw Jungkook starting to stand up, a pained expression on his face. He walked forward and almost passed Yoongi when he felt someone grab onto his wrist. He looked at Yoongi who only glanced at him.

  "Quit hiding from me," he heard Yoongi whisper. He looked down, guilt and confusion flowing through him. He looked at Yoongi and smiled sadly before snatching his hand away, going towards Jungkook.

  "Who knew your midget-of-a-boyfriend packed a mean ass kick?" He asked, holding onto his shin. Taehyung couldn't help but laugh.

  "You'll be okay, Kookie," Jungkook felt his face heating up at the nickname he was given to. "I'll go get you some ice," He watched as his hyung walks off, the smile never leaving his lips.

  "Oi, brat," he looked up, irritated by the new nickname. "Quit blushing, it looks disgusting. And especially if it's because of my boyfriend."

  Jungkook smirked. "Jealous?" Yoongi huffed and rolled his eyes. "Just remember where you stand in his life and remember who he really belongs to, Brat."

  When Taehyung came back with the ice, he could feel the tension roam around the two. He looked back and forth between the two, confused.

  "What the hell happened when I was gone?" He questioned, walking forward to Jungkook and handing him the bag full of ice.

  "Thanks, Hyung," he said as he placed the ice onto his bruised shin. Taehyung nodded and glanced at the older, finally noticing that his burning glare wasn't pointed at him, it was pointed at Jungkook.

  Taehyung sighed. "Jungkook I think it's time you to go home... J-Jackson might be waiting for you." Everyone in the room (even though it was only two people) could tell Taehyung had trouble saying his name, and they knew why.

  Yoongi couldn't help but hate the youngest even more. Why was he living with him? Doesn't he know what he did to Taehyung?!

  Jungkook nodded sadly. "You're right. And he still doesn't know about you," Jungkook smiled.

  He does know! Why the fuck is he still living with him!? Yoongi screamed in his head. He glared at the youngest.

  Taehyung nodded and waved by to Jungkook as he walked out the door. When he turned around, he saw Yoongi standing there, his arms crossed and a glare on.

  Taehyung gulped. He was in trouble.. again.
