I Still Want You [Taekook] - Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Seoul - September 2016
Taehyung's P.O.V
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
Oh my God, who called me so early? it's just 6 a.m. I rolled up on the bed, denying the fact that i need to open my eyes. It was so hard to get up this morning, the gravitational force of my bed was bigger than the usual day.
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
"Gosh ... okay-okay" I forced myself to get up and take my phone at the Nightstand.
"Hello? Who is this? Why call me so early this morning?" I say grumpily
"It's me, Bogum Hyung"
"Ah hyung ... why are you disturbing my sleep" I pouted my lips, even though the person on the other side can't see it
"About your flight ..." before he finishes his sentence, I cut him off
"Shit! I forgot I had a morning flight. Good thing you woke me up Hyung" I rushed up, ran to the bathroom with my phone still clasped in my hands. I set it on loudspeaker mode
"Tae, listen to me first"I just mumbling in response
"Cancel your flight, don't walk out of your house, not one bit. Stay in the house, Lock all the doors and windows, close all the curtains." Bogum Hyung sounds very frantic
"Are you kidding me, Hyung? How can I cancel my flight?"
"Tae, please listen to me just this once for your good"
"My goodness. Hyung what exactly happened?" I started to panic
"First, do all the things that I say. Double check your doors and windows." as long as I know him, I've never heard Bogum Hyung like this. He sounded so panicked and scared.
"Okay" I rushed out of the bathroom to the front door. but what I saw through the window, makes me spineless. My world is falling apart. One step, two steps, three steps, I kept stepping back until I bumped the wall
"Hyung, why there are so many people in front of my house? what are the journalist and reporter doing here? Hyung ..." my voice start shivering. Could it be? God, this isn't happening, right? What should I do?
"Tae, you have to calm down ..." I hung up. Oh, my God. For the heaven's sake.
I checked my phone again and it turns out there are so many notifications on my Twitter. I opened it with quivering hands.
A/N: my heart hurt so much while writing this. I'm on the verge of crying. Tae, I love you. I really do. With all my heart and breath. Although I'm doing it for the story, I feel so much pain. And it makes me wonder, why Haters seems so easy writing something like this. Don't they feel guilty? didn't it break their heart? How can haters have the heart to insult other people?
a nightmare that has been haunting me all this time, now become a reality. My whole body trembling. My chest feels so tight. It's hard to breathe. Two years I kept it all, and it was revealed overnight.
Jungkook.
I immediately called him. No answer at all from the other side.
God, please protect him. I don't care about what other people said of me. Just let him be okay. I've never been this desperate in my life.

No One's P.O.V
"Damn. Shit. Fuck" Jungkook continued to swear while grabbing his hair. Currently, Jungkook and the other five members are in the living room.
About 30 minutes ago, Bang PD-nim came. Namjoon who opened the door instantly knew that there was a big problem. If not, why he came so early, it's not even 6 a.m yet. Shortly, the leader summoned all the members to gather. even without washing their face, and with half closed eyes.
But once their boss said what he needs to say, the six pairs of eyeballs were wide open. Wider than usual. They think that Bang PD-nim will scold them, it turns out that he just said "I leave all the decisions to you since I'm not involved directly in this problem. I'm not the one who will undergo the direct impact, and I believe you've grown up to make a decision. it's better if you discussed together, make the decision that you guys think is the best for all. The company will go with whatever your decision is. And we'll fully support that". Then he left. leaving 6 people confused about what to do.
and now it's been 10 minutes since their boss leaves, but nobody says anything except Jungkook who doesn't stop cursing.
"What is the problem? We just need to say that Taehyung is a friend of Jungkook" Yoongi said breaking the silence
"Yes, I have been seen on the road with my friends, often. and that's not a problem," Jimin added.
"is not that easy" Namjoon said
"why? what's the difference? Fans have been exposed me walking with a friend from Busan at 2 a.m." Jimin is frustrated.
"and it's all fine" Jin agreed
It all went quiet again. The atmosphere is really tense. Until finally Hoseok, who had been silent, open his mouth.
"the thing is, they know that Taehyung is gay."
"So what?" Yoongi suddenly yelled. "What's the problem if he's Gay? We know very well that there is no one straight in this room"
"If he's gay, netizen wouldn't believe if we said that Jungkook and Taehyung are just friends, and eventually it would lead to rumours that Jungkook is also a gay" Hoseok raised his voice.
"it's just a stupid thought" Yoongi snickered
"Have you seen Taehyung's twitter? Did you see how people insulted him?" Namjoon tries to calm things down
"Namjoon, whatever clarification we'll give, people will eventually insult him, mocked him, offended him. isn't it better if we're at least stay beside him?" Yoongi and Jimin nod, agreeing with Jin's opinion. Namjoon and Hoseok can only shake their heads weakly
"In a little while, we're going to have a comeback. We can't let this scandal affect that"
"Then let's say to the media that Taehyung is a friend of Jungkook. What's that hard about it?" Jin who is usually the wisest, now can't hold his temper. "I just want to protect him"
"Jungkook, why are you silent, you are the main character of this incident. What do you think we should do?" Hoseok nudges Jungkook
"Hyung .. I ..." Right now, Jungkook is in a quandary
