Chapter 8 Confusion

ºThe most confused we ever get is when we try to convince our heads of something our hearts think is a lie.º

The black car enters in the narrow streets, heading to a certain white small house as Yoongi described.

Jimin has never been in these streets before because his apartment and his workplace are far from this zone. Also, he doesn't have anything that brings him there because all his friends live in the wealthy streets and they always hang out in fancy places.

Being there to drive Yoongi home is new to him and he doesn't feel strange because of it. On the contrary, he thinks it's good for him to have some changes in his life, especially because he's growing tired of having everything ready for him and being around people who only care about fortune and reputation.

The evening he spent with Yoongi was nothing very special but to him it was a big change. He enjoys his company and he's curious to know many things about him. He hopes he will see him again.

"It's here." Yoongi interrupts his thoughts. He sees a small house surrounded by a small garden. Even if it's tiny compared to his apartment or his parents' mansion, the house looks nice and the flowers planted outside are making it look very charming.

Jimin stops the car and looks at Yoongi, he smiles to him and says, "It was nice to spend some time with you, Yoongi-ssi."

The silver haired smiles back and nods, "Thank you for the dinner and everything you've done today."

Jimin shakes his head, "It's really nothing. I hope to see you again."

Yoongi presses his lips and looks away, "Yeah, I hope so."

After the left the car, Jimin watches the young man stop by the house's door then turns around. He checks his pockets and counts the money he has.

Jimin follows him to another street, he watches him stop by a food stand to buy tteokbokki. He smiles when he guesses it's for his mother because he felt bad for leaving her without dinner when he just ate well at a restaurant.

"He's so cute." Jimin chuckles and leaves the street.

The two young men have never been this silent since they found themselves in the deserted island.

One is sitting far from the other and both are resting their chin above their knees. They can't look at each other after the small incident.

Normally it shouldn't be such a big deal but the strange feeling that consumed their bodies at that moment when they suddenly fell made them uncomfortable.

Jungkook thinks it's because they have been distant since they first met and that's why it was weird for them to be so close physically. Taehyung knows he feels this way because he's used to be surrounded only by girls. He doesn't have a lot of male friends, so it's not usual for him to be close to one.

The child looks at them and sighs. It's getting boring for him. He sits near Jungkook and notices the ring around his finger. "Are you married?" he asks.

Jungkook widens his eyes because the child reminded him of his fiancee which he has forgotten during the last days. He hasn't thought about her much since he was busy looking for food and a way to survive on the island.

"No, not yet." he smiles to the child. "I'm engaged."

"Is she beautiful?"

Jungkook nods, "She's very beautiful." he sighs and looks away.

"You too are engaged." the child looks at Taehyung, "I heard my mum talking about it to her friend. She also said that you don't love her."

Taehyung chuckles, "Your mum knows me well."

"She's your number one fan."

The actor lets out a small smile, "It's true that I don't love Hana, but sometimes you have to make some sacrifices for the sake of peace."

The child frowns and shakes his head, "That's not true! My mum always tells me that we should do everything to be happy."

Taehyung sighs, "I am happy, I'm doing what I always wanted to do. I'm one of the best actors of the country."

"But is it enough?" Jungkook joins the conversation. "I don't know much about your family situation but Taehyungie is right, you should be happy not only with your career but also with the people around you."

"I don't care about people." Taehyung shrugs. "As long as I get called to act in movies and have fun with girls, that's enough for me."

Little Taehyung frowns and crosses his arms, "It's not good to play with girls, you should respect them, you should love them and marry them."

Jungkook laughs and ruffles the child's hair, "You're a good talk, aren't you?"

"I've never fallen in love." Taehyung says.

"One day you will, when you'll meet the right one." Jungkook smiles.

"Yes, one day you will find someone beautiful, nice and generous, just like Jungkook hyung!" the child smiles to the actor.

"Like me?" Jungkook laughs, "I can't be compared to a girl." he rubs his neck.

"Well I hope I'll find her." Taehyung says, his eyes focused on Jungkook who looks surprised by his words. "I'm sleepy now, good night." he stands up and heads under the small tent they built with tree trunks and leaves.

"It's time to sleep Taehyungie." Jungkook caresses the child's back, "Join Taehyung inside, it's cold for you here."

The child shakes his head, "I like it here, hyung. I used to go camping with my mum, I'm used to this."

"Are you sure?" Jungkook presses his lips, "I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Don't worry, hyung." the child hugs him tight. "Good night." he lays on the sand and places his arms behind his head. He watches the stars shine in the dark sky and smiles.

Jungkook looks at him with a sad face, he thinks it must be difficult for him to be a part from his mother. He hopes she's still alive so she can embrace her son.

He turns around and looks at the small tent, he presses his lips and mentally curses himself for being nervous.

"Come on, it's not like you'll be sleeping with another girl." he rolls his eyes and heads to the tent. He gets in and lays beside Taehyung.

"Where is he?" the actor asks.

"He says he prefers to stay out. I didn't want to force him."

Taehyung hums.

Jungkook turns around and gulps when he realized their faces are so close. Taehyung doesn't look away, he keeps looking at his brown eyes. Jungkook hurries to turn around again and tries to breath slowly to calm his fast heart beats down.

"Do you miss her?" Taehyung suddenly asks. "Your fiance."

The pink haired presses his lips, "You know, I feel bad because I haven't thought about her lately. But yes, I do miss her."

"What does it feel like to miss someone you love?"

"It hurts." Jungkook says, "You feel a certain pressure against your chest, you have this need to see that person and hold her in your arms. You miss their voice, the way they smile and even how annoying they can be sometimes." he chuckles.

Taehyung sighs, "I've never felt this before." he says. "Never with a girl."

"Just give it time, Taehyung." Jungkook looks at him, "One day you'll find her."

Taehyung rolls his eyes, "Again with the unformality? Will you keep disrespecting me this way?"

Jungkook laughs, "I told you, there are no rules on this island."

"Oh, really?" Taehyung smirks and sits down, "So, I can kill you and it won't be considered as a crime."

"Kill me?" Jungkook pretends to be surprised. "Who's going to get you food then? I'm sure you don't want to starve to death here."

"I will manage." the blue haired shrugs. He places himself above Jungkook and puts his hands around his neck, "Do you have any last words to say?"

"I do." Jungkook nods, "Taehyung is a loser."

The actor raises an eyebrow, "Again with the disrespect? You really want to die." he pretends to choke him with his hands and Jungkook starts laughing. "Being informal to your elders, huh?"

Jungkook takes his hands and holds them tight, "You're tickling me!"

Taehyung smirks and starts tickling him everywhere, "You could have told me you're ticklish. I'll kill you this way."

"Why would I tell y-ah!" Jungkook presses his lips tight to avoid laughing a lot. "Please, stop! Oh my god!"

Taehyung enjoys his reactions and keeps tickling him.

"Please!"

"Please, what?" Taehyung asks with a deeper voice.

Jungkook opens his eyes and looks at the young actor. He breathes slowly and whispers, "Please Taehyung-ah."

Taehyung was about to protest when he suddenly lost his words. He gulps and keeps looking at Jungkook's calm face. "T-taehyung-ah?" he asks.

"It's better than Taehyung, don't you think? At least it's the way you address someone you're close to."

"No one calls me this way."

"Then I will start calling you like this." Jungkook sits down to face him, he smiles and says, "Good night, Taehyung-ah."

The actor looks down and smiles, he looks back at him and caresses his pink hair gently, "Good night, Jungkookie." he hurries to lie down and mentally curses himself for being so cheesy.

On the other hand, Jungkook's cheeks get red like tomatoes. He lies down and gulps. Taehyung is making him so confused.
