Misunderstandings

==thirty-three==

"Okay wow. This is kinda embarrassing." Seokjin murmured, looking away.

You were still trying to wrap your head around what had just happened, tongue-tied as you stared at nothing in particular.

He shuffled uncomfortably as he stood rooted to the spot, totally fazed by your lack of reaction to what he thought was the most difficult confession he had ever made in his life.

He didn't know what to do.
He didn't know what your answer was, if there even was one.

A voice in the back of his mind told him to be brave, to stay, to wait for what you had to say to this.

But he wanted to run away. Badly.

Because he was afraid of a possible negative outcome.

He was afraid of not being enough. Yet again.

And before he knew it, his feet began retreating towards the door.

You flinched back to reality as you noticed him move away from you, with a substantially dazed and dejected look clouding his face.

And at once, you knew you were going to regret not having the strength to open your mouth and tell him that you had liked him all along.

Just like you couldn't, even when his hands uncomfortably fumbled to reach the door handle and managed to pull it open.

Just like you couldn't, even when he dashed out of the very room you were now stuck in.

Also, there was a clueless someone who was about to fall in Seokjin's arms as a result of being too engrossed in eavesdropping with their ear stuck to the door.

No one even saw it coming, as the man in focus absentmindedly opened the door and was greeted by a considerably heavy man loosing his footing and falling back on him.

"Wha-   Taehyung?!"

Seokjin staggered under the brunet's weight as both of them struggled to maintain their balance and not collapse on the ground, but ended up falling anyway.

And well, the others were a bit too surprised to react.

"I told you this was gonna end with someone breaking their neck." Yoongi muttered.

Taehyung tried to get up, his effort bringing somewhat painful results to the other victim as his foot mercilessly landed on one of his legs.

Seokjin let out a groan of pain as Taehyung's eyes immediately shut in regret.

"Kim Taehyung you douchnozzle GET OFF ME!" he yelled clutching the part of his leg, mercilessly stomped on by the culprit, in pain.

"I'm sorry!" Taehyung whimpered with worry as his eyes widened.

Namjoon seemed to sense how the elder one was probably at edge for some reason, and he immediately bent down to help Seokjin up while the latter still grimaced in pain.

"I told you snooping wasn't going to be a good idea today." Jimin whispered into his friend's ear, which although sounded nothing close to a whisper.

"What.... happened?"

A voice distracted them from the current tension as they all turned around to find you standing by the doorway.
