Nothing Like Us

22nd Chapter.

3rd person POV:

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung asked as he saw the younger blow the smoke into the air with his head slightly leaning back against his car before he took another drag.

"Mmh it's been long. I missed this." The idol didn't answer his question as he blew the smoke with closed eyes, his chest slowly heavung up and down as he held the ciggerate between his two fingers.

"Huh? What if someone sees you smoking out here?" Taehyung couldn't help but ask, he might not be much aware of the idol culture but he knew that smoking didn't exactly fit tge ideal kpop idol image.

"Doesn't matter, they already know.. some sasaeng.. stalker if you don't know what it means.. released a non consented video a few months ago and it went viral." Jungkook chuckled, the bad side of being an idol was literally zero privacy but unfortunately he was too used to such things.

"Oh." Taehyung had the urge to say something along the lines of..'annoying ass people. Aren't you a grown man in his late 20s? Why the fuck are idols even criticized for something as simple as smoking?' But he didn't because one thing.. things weren't the best with jungkook at the moment and he was too overwhelmed to form a proper conversation with him right now and secondly.. he didn't want to unintentionally say something triggering because of his lack of knowledge on how kpop worked.

"So..I know I'm extremely stupid and naive.. maybe my hyungs are right afterall.. but for sake of my own satisfaction I'll still ask.. are you alright?" Jungkook asked once he was he lowered the ciggerate and blew smoke out of his mouth, sighing.

"Yeah. I am. I have no reason to not be okay." Taehyung felt a pang in his chest that  what he did to jungkook, the man still dared to come behind him so he could checkup on him. It felt the guilt grew tenfold and it wasn't a good feeling at all.

"And I'm straight. Now cut the bullshit and answer properly, will you?" Jungkook who usually didn't prefer cursing, couldn't help but curse out. He had no idea what or why he was doing this but he did whatever his heart told him to.

"Does it even matter?" Taehyung turned to face the idol as he snatched his cigarette back before taking a puff, the man just shrugged his shoulders before answering.

"It shouldn't after what you did to me. but unfortunately does. So speak up." Jungkook hated himself at the moment, how he still cared for the man and the fact that despite knowing what he did.. he couldn't bring himself to hate him.

"Right. I'm okay.. just a little overwhelmed, I'm not used to talking about all that.. my feelings and my past and everything. That's all. I'm fine other than that." Taehyung answered, a lump forming in his throat again as he talked.. he didn't know why he couldn't bring himself to act tough like he usually does with the younger.

"Mmh I see. Okay. That's all I needed to know, I'll be leaving then." Jungkook nodded his head in his direction, his hands now in his pockets as he was about to walk away from there before he heard a voice say.."don't go." As he felt a hand grasping onto his jacket from behind before it was eventually let go.

Jungkook turned around immediately with blank expressions and he could see taehyung looking down with a pained expression before he looked up at him, looking slightly embarrassed.."i meant.. didn't you want to talk earlier? I need to talk as well.. uhm.. I'm just leaving to my office so you could just.. come with me? Or not..?" Taehyung sounded so fucking awkward he wanted to scream at himself.

Now the idol would've usually laughed if it wasn't for taehyung being an asshole and maybe he shouldn't have said that but before he could stop himself he muttered,"i will drive." And the very next second a set of carkeys were chucked towards him which he swiftly caught and moments later he was sitting in the driver seat of the Mercedes Benz car while taehyung stiffly sat in the passanger seat, just giving directions when needed.
