Taekook Nothing like us

| Part 9

Default Dyslexic Roboto Lora

The boys were sleeping when Taehyung was still laying in bed, wide awake. As always.

He went his way through weverse and commented on millions of posts.

He got himself some food and a glass of water.

He went to the toilet and laid in bed again.

He sighed.

Then walked through their dorm and found Yoongis guitar, took it and tried to remember what the older showed him earlier. His fingers switched and trailed on and off the strings.

He played louder than he thought but before he was able to notice, Jin busted into his room.

”WOULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET NOW?! ”

Taehyung jumped by the sudden volume difference and his face gave a frightened view.

”Im sorry, hyung. I was just trying to distract myself ”, he said carefully with a light voice.

”YOU ARE BLOWING UP MY PHONE! IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT, FINE, BUT I NEED MY SLEEP! ”

”Hyung he said he was sorry! ”, Jungkooks voice burned through Jins wide shoulders and Taehyung could see his hand slide on them.

”Go to sleep, Jungkook! He needs to be quiet and respect our sleep schedule! ”

”He can sleep, okay?! Its not his fault. He was just trying to distract himself! ”

”Get lost, Jungkook! ”

”No! You leave him alone! He won do it anymore okay?? He apologized! ”

Jins face was as swollen as a dumpling and his ears were turning red.

”Im sorry, hyung, Im sorry, i didn mean to mess up your schedule! I really didn , Im sorry! ”, Taehyung cried out and tears were streaming down his face.

”Taehyung, I- ”, was all, Jin was able to say until the younger ran past him and out of the front door.

”Where is he going?! ”, Jin asked.

”You know what? Don **ing bother! ”, Jungkook said with a rough voice and flashed after Tae.

The said young man didn have to go far until he found the slightly older. Taehyung sat on the ground, leaning against a little wall, his head put onto his knees.

”Hey, Tae ”, Jungkook said in a caring tone and squatted down.

Taehyung looked up and showed his face, which was completely overrun by all his tears. Jungkook caressed his soft cheek with his own hand and wiped his tears away.

”I really hope that you
e not still mad at me? ”

Taehyung shook his head lightly.

”Thank you for sticking up for me. ”

”Of course. Don feel bad, its not your fault. ”

Tae nodded and gulped.

”Jin hyung seems sensitive. Your playing was nice. ”

”You listened to that? ” the olders eyes lit up.

”N- not for long, I mean, hyung interrupted you pretty quickly ”, Jungkook said not noticing how his own face gained a bit of color.

Taehyung smiled. ”Thank you, Jungkook. ”

The younger smiled too. ”Do you mind if I sit there? ”, he pointed to that empty space next to Taehyung on the ground.

”Feel free. ”

It was early summer so it wasn really cold.

Jungkook sank down next to Taehyung.

”Just don think about Jin okay? Oh and I feel like I owe you an apology as well by the way. ”

Taehyung looked at him. ”What for? ”

”For pushing you away earlier ”, Jungkook said in a tiny voice and met with the olders eyes.

”Its okay, Im sorry that I got so angry about it. ”

”You sure? ”, Jungkook asked.

”Yes, I am sure. ”

”Aren you tired? ” Jungkook asked.

Taehyung nodded. Now that he was just sitting there next to Jungkook, under the street lanterns watching darkness grow he noticed how tired he was. He could easily just.. lean on Jungkook.. would he mind?

Tae looked at him.

…

Jungkook looked back.

Tae blushed and cleared his throat.

Jungkook chuckled softly.

…

The older leaned on his shoulder.

Jungkooks heart beat fastened. He put an arm around Tae and stroked his hair tenderly.

Taehyung closed his eyes.

After a while Jungkook spoke again: ”We should get inside, go to bed. ”

”Tae? ”

”Tae? ”, he now whispered closely to the olders ear.

Taehyungs breathing was steady and calm. He was sleeping.

”Aren you a sweet one ”, Jungkook said, put one of Taes arms around the one side of his neck and the other arm on the other side.

Taehyungs head slipped onto Jungkooks shoulder and he grabbed underneath his legs to carry him inside. Tae seemed like a big cuddly baby. Inside, Jin was sitting on a chair waiting for them.

”What are you still doing up? ”, Jungkook whispered.

”I wanted to apologize for my behavior. Is he sleeping? ”

”Yes. ”

”Im sorry for yelling Jungkook, I just feel responsible for yall being awake and fit in the morning so we can work and if hes being loud.. he would distract everyone else from sleeping. I didn mean to get so angry tho. ”

”Tell him, not me. ”

Jin nodded.

”See you. ”

”See you ”, Jungkook responded and carried Taehyung to his bed. The slightly rough movement when he was being laid down woke him up, just enough to grab Jungkooks hand when he wanted to go to his own room.

”Don leave. ”

Tae expected him to talk back saying that he needed to go to his own room and asking why Taehyung was awake. But Jungkook just gave a quiet ”okay ” and crawled next to him onto the mattress.

Taehyung woke up from the smell that made its way through the dorm into his room. Scrambled eggs. Taehyung opened his eyes and took a look around. It was really late last night and he wasn quite sure if he asked Jungkook to stay. Whether he did or not, the younger wasn there anymore. Tae jumped out of bed before he fell asleep again and went to the bathroom with a bunch of clothes on his arm. He had dark circles underneath his eyes. The staff would probably fix it anyway if they were gonna be in front of a camera, so he just let them be.

”Good morning Taehyung. I made breakfast ”, Jin said after he saw him walking into the kitchen.

”Thank you hyung? ”

”I wanted to apologize. I shouldn have been so rude to you, Im sorry. ”

”Don worry about it, but thank you. I appreciate the effort. ”

”I appreciate the effort too! ” Jimin yelled while trying to sit down faster than Jhope.

The rest of the members came and sat around on the table, same as Taehyung. On the opposite of his chair sat Jungkook.

”Morning ”, he said with a smile.

”M-morning ”, Tae replied. Did he ask him to stay last night? And did he stay? Why would it matter anyway, he thought and shook his head lightly.

Jin walked around the table and handed everyone their plate with scrambled eggs on it.

Taehyungs were sprinkled with little decorations. He smiled when he saw. Jin gave good apologies, not through words, but through actions.

The black haired male stretched out his legs and accidentally brushed against Jungkooks foot.

”Uh, sorry. Sorry, I didn mean to do that ”, he said flustered.

Awkward.

Jungkook just smiled sweetly. ”Its okay, I don mind. ” His foot tapped Taehyungs lightly which made him look up, only to find all the boys looking at them.

”What are you two doing now, going for a little flirt ain you? ”, Jimin asked laughing.

”We
e playing footsies ”, Jungkook said casually but Tae just wanted to hide his blushing face and he took his foot back. Everyone was eating their meals, everyone except Jimin. Taehyung noticed him looking at him.

”What? ”, he mouthed silently. Jimin just raised his eyebrows and let his eyes wander to Jungkook.

”Stop ”, the younger mouthed again and shook his head which made Jimin chuckle. Taehyungs blush only got more intense.

He could feel the maknaes toes climb onto his. He did ask Jungkook to stay the night. And Jungkook stayed didn he? He didn seem to notice the difference between his toes and the floor tho, Tae thought because Jungkook was normally just talking to Jhope while moving them around. If it just had stayed that simple. If he just knew what big would overthrow them.

In the next week, Taehyung was already doing so so much better. His grandma left the hospital and got to go home. He had a long call on FaceTime with her (unfortunately at night).

Tae thought it was quite funny, that she was still awake too. They were pretty similar after all. He smiled as he thought about it again.

Also, Jimin and him went to a doctor, since Taehyungs sleeping habits didn seem to get better.

All the doctor said, was that Tae might just have been stressed a lot and gave him some pills to try, to see if they would help.

BTS had been doing a lot these days.

They all wrote songs over songs and trained and worked hard.

Jungkook and his mom were still in conflict.

Taehyung was seriously thinking about calling her and yelling at her, even though he knew that that wouldn help Jungkook either.

But at least his mom reassured him that she wasn going to break up with Jungkooks dad and that he wouldn have to worry about that.

It was now July 2015 and the first Run bts episode was straight ahead.

Of course all of them had been in front of cameras before, that wasn such a big deal anymore, but filming their own show was really impressive, Tae thought. That feeling got even stronger as they stood inside this big room, high ceilings, ready to introduce themselves. Their first episode.

Everyone said the name V so many times, as a way to talk about the app V live. Tae thought it was quite funny, since his stage name was V.

After all of them sat in front of the camera at least once, they started going on with the program. Namjoon had a funny english lesson with Jungkook and taught him how to properly use the word pardon.

The other members behind the camera had to hold in their laughter, after Jungkook and Namjoons overdramatic pronunciation.

It felt a little weird, but fortunately Jungkook wasn that shy anymore as he was when they debuted.

After their first episode was done, they danced some choreos and each perfected their timing towards the music and also the other members.

Five minute break and then vocal practice for one hour. Then rap practice. Then, counting as a break, writing songs. Jungkook and Jimin continued writing on their song for two hours and then the members danced to another song. Not only lip syncing, but also singing to train their stamina.

Until they drove home, it was 7 am. That was actually pretty early for them. But the day after tomorrow they would leave to fly to Thailand, so they were told to pack already.

Jungkook hoped to maybe even watch a movie when they arrived back at the apartment.

”Hey since we
e already driving home now, do you maybe wanna do something with me later? ”, Taehyung asked.

Even better!

Jungkook nodded.

”What are you thinking about? ”

”Nothing big. What do you want to do? ”

”We could watch a movie ”, the maknae suggested.

Tae agreed.

Back in their apartment, Jungkook was desperate to watch this new horror movie he heard of.

”So what are we watching? ”, Taehyung asked when he flopped next to Jungkook onto the couch.

”Ive heard of this movie called we are still here, are you in? ”

”What is it about? ”
