09. A peck of love
It goes round & round, why do I keep coming back
I go down & down, at this point, I'm just a fool
Whatever I do, I can't help it
It's definitely my heart, my feelings but why don't they listen to me.
-I Need U
Jungkook's POV~
Jimin is Taehyung's roommate. I would be happy if I could share my room with him and get to know him well but then I think I would be just shy most of the time. I was happy as I knew Taehyung will treat him better than me. He is a great friend anybody could ask for. I wanted to tell Taehyung so many things but he seemed distracted today. There was something bothering him and I think he was hiding it from me. I changed topics to make him comfortable and smile but he was just getting worse.
"Enough, I said leave me alone" he screamed loudly, as he pulled his hands with a sudden force. I got surprised because he never screamed so loud on me and somewhere inside I felt a little bad.
Was he angry at me?
Did I say something wrong?
"Taehyungie, Taehyungie," I screamed for him to stop but he just blew fast like a winter breeze. He didn't look back, he didn't stop. He just ran as fast he could.
"Hey, what happened?" Hoseok and Jimin came running towards me confused by Taehyung's sudden behavior. I quickly moved back to see them but all I could think about was Taehyung. He ran away as fast he could. I stood still; my eyes wide open as it was so sudden for me.
"I don't know what happened to him. I am scared. Please call Jin Hyung." I started to panic. I couldn't think how to react. I can't see anyone struggling, worried. I have a bad experience with it already.
"Calm down, relax. Everything will be fine. I will call everyone." Hoseok grabbed my shoulder and told me with a reassuring face. "Just wait here ok? I will be back." and he ran towards his room. I rubbed my hands and moved back and forth in anxiety as every second felt like an hour. I knew I was anxious when I felt the wind more keenly in my eyes; it was that tearless stage when the eyes take on a sheen of water and a tension builds behind them. My tears were just stuck on the edge of my eyes; neither falling nor drying.
"Hey, please calm down? What happened all of a sudden?" Suddenly Jimin held my shoulder and asked with bafflement.
"Tae...he ran away. I don't know. Please let's go and find him." I cried for help not caring if I looked like a fool and cry-baby. Jimin put his hands behind my back and rubbed it softly to make me comfortable. I would have been over the world to see him so close to me but at that moment I felt nothing. All I cared about was Taehyung. My best friend Taehyung.
"Jungkook," my heart felt a little comfort when Jin's voice entered my ears. I ran towards him as soon as I saw his worried face, looking at me with concern.
"What happened?" Jin Hyung grabbed my face in his palms and asked softly; making sure not to rush it on me.
"It's Taehyung," I stuttered as the tears finally fell down my eyes.
"What happened to him?" Jin asked.
"I don't know." I cried helplessly. I felt bad as I really didn't know what was happening to him. I should have known, in fact, I am his best friend. Jin Hyung pulled me into a side hug and rubbed my shoulders up and down.
"Let's calm down guys. It's normal, he must be getting a hard time adjusting to a whole new place." Namjoon finally spoke up as he saw everyone's worried face. "We will find him okay?" he looked everyone with a reassuring face. "So, which side did he went Jungkook?" Namjoon asked. I moved my hands up and pointed toward the left side.
"Okay. let's just divide into teams and find him. Yoongi, Jimin and I know the place well. So, Jimin you go with Jungkook, Jin with me and Hoseok you go with Yoongi."Namjoon instructed as we moved into our teams. He told us to go on different directions as it will be easy to find him that way. We got ready to move on our way when Jin Hyung squeezed my hands telling me to stay strong and not worry for nothing.
Jimin and I moved towards the left, Jin and Namjoon went right while Hoseok and Yoongi were going straight. We screamed his name for ten minutes now but he was nowhere to be found. My eyes gazed in every direction as it could but there was no clue of him. I cursed myself every second as the time ran and we found no trace of him. I was mad at me for not knowing it all beforehand. We were now standing in the big playground as the cool breeze flipped through our hairs; touching our sweaty face as we felt a current passing through our body. It was a cold night but my heart was colder with fear.
"Did you find him?" Yoongi asked as he bent down resting his hands on his knees. Hoseok looked tired as well.
"No," I heaved a frustrated voice as a lump of fear stuck between my neck.
"What happened to him suddenly? He was all good when I met him a few hours ago." Jimin spoke as he put his hands on his waist; clueless and worried.
"Let's keep looking guys. He must be somewhere here, I have a strong gut feeling about it." I ran without thinking of anything as Jimin, Yoongi and Hoseok followed me from behind. We all screamed his name loudly in unison. Then there came a moment when I heard whimpers from up close. I tried to focus on the light sound and now it was clear in my ears. It was Taehyung.
"This way," I quickly grabbed Jimin's hand tightly and pulled him with me. There was a big tree whose leaves scud over the ground and took small flights into the air. And I saw Taehyung sitting on the big root of the tree; scared, succumbed like a cacoon. The branches swayed and made a huge rustling sound as if it was giving him company through his pain.
"Taehyung?" I said in a husky voice as he moved his head up half covered from his hands. His eyes looked me with pain; crying for help. His bangs were stick on his forehead from all the sweat, nose red from cold.
"Jungkook," he said in a weak voice, the sound half swallowed by a sobbing noise. To his dismay, he was crying almost too much to be coherent. My face turned from confused to serious as it scared me to look at Taehyung in this shape. I quickly moved towards him, taking long steps as he stumbled to stand up, I grabbed his hand and pulled him into a tight hug.
"We found him," other members loud voice filled the area as they screamed to inform Jin and Namjoon.
"You came," Taehyung moved his head slightly to see my face and nuzzled into my ears. Shivers ran down my spine when he suddenly broke down into tears. He was sobbing badly.
"Yes, I did." Tears started to fall down from my eyes unknowingly. Looking him this way shook me from inside. "And I always will," I added hugging him more tightly. The other members left us alone and gave us time to talk.
"What happened Taehyungie?" I raised my courage and asked him.
"I miss...I miss mom," He sobs a little louder as he said the last word. Suddenly, it made me remind of my own mother and a knot twisted in my stomach as my chest got tight with emotions and tears burst out from my eyes.
"Taehyungie, Jungkook-ah." Jin Hyung saw us and came running.
"What happened? Remember Hyung is with you" he says as he hugged us both from behind. At this moment, I knew even if one day I will have no one when I will feel alone I can always count on these two. I looked at other members who saw us with a worried face and concerned eyes. It melts my heart to see him with such emotions as it wasn't even a day since we met. I gestured my hands towards him and called him to join us. A smile spread on their faces as they walked towards us and joined the hug.
I just can't express the feeling I felt at this exact moment. All I could say that it felt good, I felt happy, I felt safe. I knew I just saved a precious memory in my heart and I can look back to it to get on foot in my tough times.
"Not to ruin the moment but let's get him inside. I am freezing up here." Jin Hyung speaks between the hug and a loud laugh fills in the air.
***
People will come, people will go just keep your close ones closer. You will never be disappointed.
