Jungkook kept in the back of the group with his music blasting in his ears even when they were looking at the art. Everyone seemed to be fascinated and Jungkook was too but he couldn't enjoy it like how he wanted to enjoy these paintings. The art and all were amazing but Jungkook always found himself looking at Taehyung and Sungjae. How Taehyung would point at the art in amazement and how he would talk on and on to Sungjae about all the different art. Was he hurt? Yeah, but he had no right to be. Was he jealous? Honestly, yeah. "Kook."

Hearing his name, Jungkook took off one earbud and looked around to see Taehyung waving him over. Gulping, Jungkook walked over with his hands in his pockets. "Hey, sorry to bother you but look. The art here is similar to your tattoo, the eye one? You still have that right?" Taehyung looked at Jungkook then at the art on the wall. Looking at Sungjae, Jungkook could tell the male was bothered by him being there. "My eye tattoo?" Jungkook questioned while keeping his eyes on Sungjae until he pulled up his sleeve.

That's when Sungjae had his eyes on Jungkook. Letting go of Sungjae's hand, Taehyung approached Jungkook to look at the tattoo. "It didn't fade," Taehyung spoke which made Jungkook scoff and laugh a bit. "I paid good money. If it faded we would have a problem." Jungkook looked at his tattoo before looking at the art. They were almost identical but of course, the art was way better than his tattoo. Still though, at least Taehyung remembered his tattoo. It was bittersweet.

Taehyung got called over by Namjoon which left Sungjae and Jungkook alone... staring at the art. "You know all those tattoos aren't gonna look good when you're old," Sungjae spoke while his eyes stayed glued to the art in front of him. Looking at Sungjae, Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Who..." Jungkook stopped as he started looking around. That confused Sungjae as he looked at Jungkook. "Who what?" Sungjae asked. There Jungkook stopped and huffed. "Sorry... I was just looking for who asked because I sure didn't." He sucked in a breath.

Sungjae was taken back by Jungkook and his bold words but his facial expression showed he wasn't happy with what was said. "What? Gonna yell at me as you do with Taehyung?" Jungkook turned to Sungjae who turned to Jungkook as well. "Tae- Taehyung." Namjoon nudged Taehyung who was in his own world talking to Seokjin until Namjoon nudged him. After seeing Namjoon point, Taehyung looked towards Sungjae who was facing Jungkook. The two looking at each other with pure hate as Taehyung hurried over and got between them.

"Okay woah. What the hell?" Taehyung pushed Sungjae back but kept by Sungjae. "Sungjae." Taehyung looked at Sungjae who kept his eyes on Jungkook. Though all Jungkook did was smirk back at Sungjae. Just like how Sungjae smirked back at him. There Jungkook turned and walked over to Seokjin. "Jae." Taehyung snapped Sungjae out of it. "Your ex is a dick." Sungjae stated right as he looked at Taehyung. "... He's not my ex." Taehyung sighed. "Well whatever he is, I don't like him."

"Jae... come on please don't start." Taehyung sighed while looking at his boyfriend. "Don't start? Taehyung... come on." Sungjae looked at Taehyung in disbelief. "What? What do you want me to do? Tell him you don't like him? What's that gonna do?" Taehyung genuinely asked but Sungjae shook his head. "Whatever. I gotta go. Have fun." Sungjae said with no expression as he pulled away from Taehyung and made his way out. Leaving Taehyung clueless as he stood there.

Sungjae loved walking out. It was a good thing sometimes though because Sungjae could get hurtful with his words so Taehyung just let it be as he stood there. "That guy- I swear." Namjoon huffed out. "That guy... his boyfriend, he has some issues huh?" Seokjin said while looking at Taehyung. "Plenty and they just keep adding on." Namjoon sighed as he excused himself and walked over to Taehyung. "I told you." Namjoon stopped in front of Taehyung. "Don't start too please." Taehyung turned away to look at the painting he saw.

"He's not changing Taehyung." Namjoon looked at Taehyung who kept his gaze away. "The guy you took forever to get over is right there. Still here and from what it looks like, he is way better than Sungjae." Namjoon brought up Jungkook after not being able to talk to Taehyung about it but that was because he was out with Seokjin- doing grown-up things. "That guy I took forever to get over... is just like Sungjae. He leaves when things get hard." Taehyung told Namjoon who scoffed. "Oh and does he yell at you? Tells you that you're stupid for making decisions that better you? Did he keep tabs on you every hour? Did he get mad that you had friends?"

Namjoon kept going on and on but that only annoyed Taehyung more. "Okay! Alright! He's not but he runs. When things get hard he will run. He will fall off the face of the earth just like before. Just like when he left with no contact, no sorry! No anything! Sungjae was there! He was there to pick up the pieces Jungkook wasn't able to!" Taehyung broke as he turned to Namjoon. His voice a little too loud. "... And that's why I keep going back. He was there when I was at my worst. Not Jungkook." Taehyung sighed. "Now he needs my help so stop okay? Just... stop."

Taehyung said while he then excused himself and left the museum. Leaving Namjoon sad about the situation. That wasn't... how it's supposed to be. Taehyung shoudn't want to be with Sungjae because he wants to help. Though when he looked back Jungkook was standing there with a face full of regret. "... I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring you in to that conversation." Namjoon apologized quickly but Jungkook shook it off. "... No it's fine. He's right anyway so I." Jungkook stopped talking since he didn't know what to say.

Well... there were the words Jungkook was waiting for to come out. Did he break Taehyung? No... he couldn't have been that important. Maybe he was apart of the hurt though. With his family and all... that was Taehyung's first time going through that. Taehyung went through the same thing and he was alone so Jungkook got it. Sungjae was there and he wasn't. Jungkook was long gone with no thought of contacting Taehyung. "Is he outside?" Jungkook looked at Namjoon who shrugged. "I hope so." He sucked in a breath.

Nodding, Jungkook left the two and made his way out of the museum. Not long after Jungkook saw Taehyung sitting on a bench so with that he approached the male and sat down next to him. Nothing said... just silence in which they both needed to gather their thoughts. "I'm sorry." Jungkook started off as Taehyung kept quiet. "For leaving you three years ago." The words made Taehyung look at Jungkook. "It was an asshole move of me to do that." Jungkook carried on, "I convinced you that we could be together... then I left you that same day."

"I could only imagine what you went through with me leaving and your parents... and Jia." Jungkook gulped. "We were never together," Taehyung spoke up after a while. Playing with his fingers, Taehyung looked at his hands. "We were... a fling. You told me you wouldn't be there long and you weren't. So it's not your fault. It's our fault for carrying it out knowing the end results." Taehyung sighed while looking at Jungkook. "No. It's my fault." Jungkook bit his lip. "I was the one who wanted to know you more. So I did... then I.." Jungkook rolled his shoulders back. "Then I caught feelings but didn't want to fully commit to it."

Taehyung was surprised by the sudden confession. Although they both knew they liked- loved each other back then, it was surprising to actually hear Jungkook admit to it now. "I carried it on knowing I wasn't going to be there. I said those words knowing I wasn't gonna..." Lie. He was going to stay. If that morning just... happened differently. If he didn't get caught... maybe they would have been together. "You're right. I run when things get hard but I only run away because I don't have anyone to run to." Jungkook shook his head slowly.

"You ran away just like me but the thing is, you had someone to run to. Maybe not right away but you had that person. Sungjae's that person and... Namjoon might not know why you stay with Sungjae but in a way, I do. He's your light when you're in the dark, right? He helped you when you needed it and... I can't thank him enough for taking care of you because once upon a time... you were my light when I was in the dark." Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a broken smile.
