Chapter 48: Hold back

            "Why aren't you answering to me..? Why don't you listen to me and why have you been ignoring me?" Hoseok whispered as he refused to let Taehyung go until he answered.

             "This Isn't... T-The best place to talk about this.." Taehyung sputtered feeling eyes stare at him in every direction. "Get off.." Taehyung whispered. "You're making a scene..."

            "Let them stare... I want you to talk to me and if this is what I have to do to get to you to speak... I'll do it! In front of the whole residents if I have to..." Hoseok added as he couldn't care less about the people staring at the two hugging. "Please... Say something to me, Kim Taehyung... Why are you ignoring me..? Are you with Jimin now? Someone who makes you happy other than me..?" The older speculated silently as he looked up at Taehyung in the eyes. "That has to be it... Isn't it?" Hoseok whispered as Taehyung just sighed and fixed his glasses on his eyes.
           
           "I'll tell you if we can go somewhere more private." Taehyung added, watching Hoseok quickly nod and drag the boy out of the lobby and down the hall of the first floor. Leading the younger into his apartment in a rush. Hoseok didn't care if people stared, Taehyung meant a lot to him and losing the younger made Hoseok grow worried after all this time. Hoseok shut the door and locked it to look back at the boy who was looking down at the ground. Thinking of what to say now.

            "Taehyung.... Tell me what's wrong... What's going on between us?" Hoseok wondered, walking up to the younger and watching Taehyung slowly back up, almost reaching the couch as he gripped on to the mail in his hands.

            "U-Us...? T-There is no us.." Taehyung whispered and suddenly backed up against the couch while Hoseok stood in front of him. "There never was... That's the issue. I have been ignoring you and I've tried my best to avoid you, okay?"

           "Just because... There's nothing between us you stopped talking to me? Taehyung, that doesn't make sense! You must be lying... Aren't you?" Hoseok asked as Taehyung looked up at the older. Silently keeping his mouth shut through it all. "Be honest with me like I am to you..."
                         
          "..Are you?" Taehyung fired making Hoseok raise his eyebrow.

           "Am I? Am I what?"

           "Are you really honest..? Because I really can't seem to recall the time you told me you and Yoongi were closer friends now! I-I thought you would tell me but you left me to find out on my own. I may never be as close to you as Yoongi ever was... But just because he's back in your life doesn't mean I don't exist and you don't have to tell me a thing! Do you know how much it hurts when I look back at the time you moved your hand to make me step away and not interrupt your call with Yoongi?! How you always wanted to stay silent between the two of you?! This... This isn't fair!"

              "Isn't fair?! Taehyung, you have been ignoring me for almost a month and expect me to track you down and tell you? All you've done was get silent and read my messages only to ignore me! I'm tired of that... I had to see you! Can't you see you matter to me more than Yoongi? I've only been hanging out with him since we have the project but other than that... there isn't anything between us. He would stay over and yes I won't lie... He tried to get something going but it's not the same. Not the same feelings we had before and I realized..." Hoseok then added, leaning over to get onto the couch and tower over the confused younger.

               "R-Realized.... What...?" Taehyung asked as Hoseok took off Taehyung's glasses and smiled, wiping off the fog in  the lens that were caused by the little tears that ran from the younger's face from finally confessing.

              "That... I only have those feelings when I have you by my side." Hoseok added and dried the tears from Taehyung's face that started to flow even more by those words. "Taehyung... I'm sorry I haven't put you on top for so long... I worried and thought of you every night. It wasn't until you were gone from my life that left me to realize... You matter more to me than anyone else." Hoseok mentioned while Taehyung cupped his own face, wiping off the endless flowing tears.   

          "I... Feel like an idiot for doing that to you... You deserve better. Someone who doesn't ignore you! You must have been lonely I wouldn't be surprised if you only had Yoongi hugging you close at night. He was able to do something I couldn't and that was to actually be by your side even if it was just for a project. I'm sorry, Hoseok..." Taehyung sighed as Hoseok smiled and pulled the younger close to hug him again. "I missed you... But I was too scared of thinking Yoongi and you were a couple now."

             "Ah, Taehyung that would never happen!" Hoseok chuckled and looked at Taehyung in his beautiful and round eyes that looked into his. "Do you want to know why..?~"           "W-Why...?" Taehyung asked as Hoseok kept his bright smile while his eyes gleamed at the younger, pressing himself against the couch now.
         
         "I'll give you a hint..." Hoseok whispered. Removing the mail from Taehyung's hands and setting the younger's glasses down. Just then, Hoseok cupped Taehyung's face and brought him into a kiss. Taehyung's eyes widened as he looked at Hoseok continue pressing his lips against the boy's plump lips. Kissing him genty. Taehyung blushed and closed his eyes, bringing his arms around Hoseok's body and bringing him deeper into the kiss. Knowing how much the older loved him now.

          Hoseok pulled away, looking at Taehyung still keep his eyes closed and slowly open them to glide his eyes up to Hoseok's face. "I love you." Hoseok whispered to Taehyung's ear and looked back at the younger to hug him again.

        "I love you too... My precious 'Husband,' Hoseok." Taehyung responded and let out a chuckle. Not realizing that pretty soon, he'd have to tell Hoseok that he doesn't have much time to stay at Busan before getting relocated to another place with Jimin for work.
_______________________________________

            Jimin was sitting on Jungkook's couch, eye balling the package the younger had delivered in his mail. Jimin delivered the box to Jungkook yesterday, Yet his name wasn't on it and that made Jimin confused. It was delivered to the same co-worker Jungkook's paycheck was mixed up with before, yet Jimin believed Jungkook already returned the check and received his own.

            Jungkook stepped into the living room and sat down next to Jimin with a cute and excited smile on his face. "Look Jimin, they sent me a new game to test today and you could test it out with me!" Jungkook added pulling the delivery box into his hands as Jimin looked up at Jungkook and held back his hand from opening it.

           "Jungkook... That's not yours. That's some one elses! Why do they confuse you with.." Jimin then tilted his head to look at the name written on the mailing address. "Yoon Jyunhu..."

            "Ah it's okay, Jimin!" Jungkook chuckled and moved Jimin's hand away from his so he could open the box. "Other beta testers were sent the same thing but our reviews matter too." Jungkook added.

           "Then what's the point of hiring so much beta testers?" Jimin questioned as Jungkook let out a sigh and looked back at Jimin. "What?"

           "You question a lot of things don't you? Ah, you Journalists sure are very observant." Jungkook snickered, taking out the game he had to test and the code for the game so he could send the review on the prototype.

           Jimin watched the younger put in the game as Jimin sat back on the couch to watch Jungkook play. "I'll be working." Jimin mentioned as he took out his suitcase, bringing out his laptop to switch it on when Jungkook stood up on the couch to sit behind Jimin and have the older lay back on his chest comfortably.

            "Hey... Pay attention to me, Park Jimin..." Jungkook whispered into Jimin's ear and closed the laptop and brought the controller in closer to hold Jimin in his arms.

            "J-Jungkook... I have to work! You brat!" Jimin giggled watching Jungkook look at the menu of the game. The game was a first person shooter game which made Jungkook smile to himself while he had his arms locked around Jimin to look up and play video games.

           "You're not leaving me. Why did you take long to get here?" Jungkook asked Jimin. Making the older press his body against Jungkook's chest with a giggle as his eyes remained locked with the younger to pout.
                                                      
          "I was only a few minutes late, you creep." Jimin whispered and slowly raised his hand to softly caress Jungkook's neck suddenly remembering on what he has to tell Jungkook about him not staying in Busan for so long. "Besides.... You can live without me." Jimin whispered as Jungkook paused on the story that was introducing the whole plot for the game.

          "No... I can't." Jungkook added and looked at Jimin in the eyes. "You're the only one I have... I can't let you leave me for more than a second."

           "Jungkook, what if I do want to leave Busan for a while...?" Jimin questioned, trying to touch onto the subject.

          "Then I'll get sad... Lonely and depressed. Then, I'll hate you and I wouldn't want to see you once you get back. No matter what... Once I've let you in, I put locks all around to make you stay." Jungkook stated, looking deep into Jimin's eyes with such a possessive tone. Just then Jungkook looked forward to the Tv and pressed resume.

        "What if... I leave and then come back to see you? Will I still be your friend?"

         "Strangers come and go, Friends leave but miss each other, Friends with Benefits miss each other's touch and kisses, but lovers... They can't live without each other." Jungkook added hinting on his feelings for Jimin and kept paying attention to the story on the game. "Jimin... Don't ever ask me about leaving ever..  Not even in a 'what if' question. Understood?"
            
           "..why..?" Jimin wondered silently as Jungkook let out another frustrated sigh.

           "Why? Because I don't want you to leave. I won't let you.." Jungkook assured as Jimin looked into Jungkook's solid and cold stare. The stare was serious and Jimin just knew he couldn't tell Jungkook about it now. Jimin did hope to soon warm up the topic to the younger and get him use to it soon. Just so Jungkook wouldn't despise Jimin when he leaves Busan.
