ONE CHANCE

Bonding

The incident at the dining table, made Jin and Namjoon awkward as hell. Whenever they would see each other, they would find a reason to leave from there. They wouldn't look in each other's eyes and just pretend as if they were total strangers. Jin would stay far in the corner and Joon started working till late, just so he wouldn't bump into the beautiful man.

Everyone noticed what was going on between them. They noticed how they ignored each other's presence and always changed the topic when tried to confront them. Yoongi knew what was Jin up to, like how Hoseok knew what Joon was trying to do. No one tired to voice it out but it was making them tired seeing them act like kids.

It was a normal day, with the same old story and routine. Jin and Joon, again ignoring each other at the breakfast. Everyone trying to get to talk to them about it and like everyday, they would just wave it off telling, "It's all in your head". "Nothing's wrong between us." "Stop presuming things".

It was almost midnight and kook couldn't shut his eyes, he didn't know why but the events at the mall, kept playing in his mind. He tried to forget and sleep but whenever he closed his eyes, those images kept playing like a broken record, making it difficult for him to breathe. He decided to take a walk outside, to clear his head and left his room in shorts and a long t-shirt.

Tae was in the garden at the corner, working on something at his laptop. He was busy typing furiously, completely focused on the screen not noticing kook come out of the door. Jungkook, himself didn't see the man sitting in the corner and proceeded to take a stroll in the garden. He started walking in the opposite direction of Tae, thinking about the incident.

He didn't know how but he reached the corner of the garden and was about to turn back when he noticed the slight movements of leaves. He saw a dim light and shadow, standing on the other side of the bush. He squinted his eyes a little to see properly and froze, couldn't move his feet until he saw the shadow moving and yelled at the top of his lungs, running in the direction he came from.

Tae was on a video call with his friend, Minjae, when he heard a scream. He jumped up hearing someone scream so close to him and dropped his phone. He stood still and sneakily tried to look around, finding no one, he blindly started running in the direction of the mansion. He didn't give a damn about his belongings and simply ran, trying to save his life.

Kook was almost near the door when suddenly, a hand pulled him back and covered his mouth from screaming. He shut his eyes, too scared to look at the person and struggled to get out of the hold of the man. He couldn't help but shed few tears, all those bad memories kept rushing to his mind, not helping him at all and making him all weak.

He heard the man shushing and whispering to him, "Hey hey, look at me. Stop crying and open your eyes".That voice, it was familiar to him, breathing heavily, he slowly opened his eyes to look at the person holding him, his blurred vision due to tears didn't help him at all. The man slightly stepped away from him, to let the boy breathe.

"That's it. Breathe bunny, breathe" the voice said again, softly. He shakily wiped his tears with his sleeves and looked at the man in front of him, only to find Taehyung, looking at him worriedly. He croaked out a confused, "Hyung?" Tae nodded his head, "Are you alright" he asked, feeling guilty for scaring the boy. Kook wailed and started punching him lightly.

Tae scrunched his eyebrows in confusion and tried to stop the boy from hitting him, "Y-yah yah, why are you h-hitting me?" Kook stopped and glared at him, making Tae even more confused than he already was. "Are you mad? I was scared to death. Why did you do that?" He asked angrily, which sounded more like whining.
