The males arrived home, the entire journey had been in silence. Jungkook was still fired up from the rude lady that questioned and judged them, whilst Taehyung seemed to still be in shock, and even sad.

"Jungkook," he suddenly spoke up again after a while, "you shouldn't have talked back to that lady. Who knows who she could've been, and it could backfire us badly."

"I don't care!" Jungkook suddenly yelled, startling the elder, "she was so rude! Not even knowing about us except the stupid false rumours. She could at least ask, or just mind her own fucking business," he cursed angrily.

"But it's true," Taehyung muttered.

Jungkook jerked his head up and stared right at the other. "True? You're saying it's true?" he growled, "nothing she said was true."

"But it was," he mumbled again, "it's true, and you know it."

"Hyung!" Jungkook yelled, "what has gotten into you? Nothing you did was wrong. All you did was to follow your heart. You let it decide for you, and everything that happened afterwards, happened. You can't control everything," he said, tears already forcing out of his eyes, "all you wanted to do was to do something good that was for yourself once. You can't always be the one to save everyone when no one tried to save you. Only you could save yourself, and so you did.

"And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. All you did was to be human. All you did was to make yourself happy. And if people misjudge that for being selfish, or even a bad person, then they couldn't be more wrong, and stupid."

Taehyung stared speechless at him. Was he right? Did his choices turn right after all? But why did he feel so terrible and like a criminal who just failed to protect his country?

"Please say something Taehyung," Jungkook whimpered, "I don't wanna lose you. I can't lose you. You're my everything. You saved me. Now I want to save you."

"You don't need to save me Jungkookie," Taehyung said softly as he pulled him gently into a hug and let the younger one sob quietly on his shoulder, "it's okay," he repeated, "it's okay."

"But it's not okay!" Jungkook cried, "you're not okay!"

"What are you talking about?" Taehyung chuckled softly. "Are you talking about my sleeping troubles? Because that's normal when you're under stress," he said.

"It's not supposed to be normal. And it's not only because of stress you're receiving," the younger said as he pulled back to look him in the eyes, "have you looked at yourself lately? You look terrible."

"Gee thanks. Here I was about to compliment you," he teased as he wiped a tear from his boyfriend's wet cheeks.

"How can you joke now?" Jungkook said, his voice cracking, "you're not okay, but you're pretending to be. Why?"

"Let's eat dinner Jungkookie," he said, changing the topic, "I'm hungry. I'll make something to eat."

Why are you ignoring me hyung?

Taehyung made spaghetti bolognese, an easy but effective recipe; they both stuffed it in their mouths in hunger, but Jungkook slowed down to watch the other.

"Why are you so quiet?" Jungkook asked. "Why do you pretend like you're okay? Like everything is okay?" he repeated. "Why are you putting up this mask? Why-"
