~ 36 ~

You ran, ran straight to Taehyung, sobbing like a lost child, people staring at you strangely—some worried, some confused.

Words from Jungkook's mouth stung you like a swarm of bees repeating with wild echoes as you ran and ran and ran.

"You've cheated on him several times!"

Jungkook's voice echoes through your head.

"You've betrayed him as much as I did!"

They just keep repeating, raising your guilt, making it become heavier. It causes you more suffering, and nearly drives you insane.

"Stopppp!" The echoes finally quit irritating you as you cover your ears with your palms and shout.

You run faster.

Finally reaching over at Tae's reservation, your sobs become heavier and Tae is completely struck by your condition as he turns to face you. He shoves Yuna aside, no longer caring to show respect, and rushes up to you, his brows furrowed as deeply as they could, all heavy with worry.

"Y/N, Y/N, what happened, what happened??" Your look suggested that you were about to collapse, so he straightened you by your shoulders and shook you to make sure you were still conscious. 

"I'm sorry-y," sobbing, you clench your eyes, feeling as if killing yourself was the only way to get rid of your shame and regret. "I wanna-n go-o home...to-o my parents-s house-e, please."

"Don't be sorry, love. Just tell me what happened, okay? tell me. I promise I'll kill whoever hurt you, I promise." He cradled your cheeks in his palms wiping your tears with his thumbs and for comfort he quickly hugs you.

"I wanna-a go-o." Stuttering, you clutch onto his waist tightly and hide your face in his chest, completely wetting his shirt. You didn't wanna let go of him, at least now that you realized how badly you've fucked up.

"Don't cry, don't cry okay?" He whispered, sliding his palms on your back to soothe you. "I'm here, I'm here. I'm taking you, okay? let's go hm?" Although the gentleness of his voice seems to comfort you, the echoes of Jungkook's phrases continue to torment you, bolstering the ache of your heart.

Taehyung gently picks you up bridal style and begins walking towards his car. You promptly bury your face in the crook of his neck, now wetting that spot.

"I'm sorry, Tae, I'm sorry..." You blubbered, completely unable to stop yourself and completely humiliated that you were crying like a madwoman in front of him.

Taehyung places you on the car seat and bends down to your face, pecking your forehead and wiping your tears again. "You don't have to explain anything, love. It's okay." He whispered, his head aching from how long he's been arching those heavy loaded concerned brows.

"But-t I'm sorry," your breath hitched at the loud sob. "I'm sorry, I love you-u, I love you so much-h," grabbing his palms and clutching them firmly, you hold them against your chest and he could feel the rapid beat of your heart. "Please-e, don't leave-e me."

Taehyung's eyes began to gloss at your condition. He was merely confused and was desperately seeking for answers but realized he couldn't ask you due to your condition. "No, no baby, why would I leave you? I love you, okay? I'm not leaving. I'm here," once again, he slides his thumbs against your cheeks cleaning the tears. "Now please stop crying...or you're gonna make me cry." He chuckles softly to brighten your mood but it seems as though your heart was still aching from all the sorrow, so you simply stare at his face as guilt overtakes you and you contemplate why you did this to him.
