TAEKOOK | MARRIED

28: Same sad eyes

♡'･ᴗ･'♡

Taehyung stands there frozen when jeongguk caught him leaving the room he'd just moved in to and jeongguk knows it's the truth, he's not dumb.

They stare at each other and sue him he can't keep it in any more, "you-you changed rooms?"

Just like that taehyung's eyes widens like a dear caught in headlights, like he has done something wrong. The look of surprise in his eyes should bother jeongguk more but it doesn't because he's feeling so much more than that.

Taehyung bites his lips before replying, "I- yeah-i was-i was about to tell you but you we're not in the living room, I- the working lady helped me and I-"

"Okay. No problem, I get it." He's cut before he can finish his sentence by a rather harsh response by jeongguk, who knows he shouldn't be this bothered but he fucking is. "I mean, it would've been nice if you have told me in the morning? When i-when i-you said you were fine. . . I-you should've told me, I'd have-i'd have. . ." He'd have what? He doesn't know.

Taehyung lowers his gaze to the floor, "I'm sorry, I was about to but-I'm sorry, do you-do you want me to move back in your room?" He speaks Softly almost close to a whisper.

It's was your room too, jeongguk wants to voice it out but doesn't. He feels like an asshole right now, he hates that even though he knows he doesn't have any right to question taehyung's choice and now taehyung has to rethink his decision because of him. He knows all well that he fucking should not be questioning him at all, not after what he had done last night. This outcome was expected but why the heck is he feeling like someone has ugly kicked him in the stomach.

"No- don't. I'm sorry, you're free to make any choices and if this is what you want i-i, it's okay, I respect your choice."

Taehyung looks up at him at that, there's an emotion unfamiliar to jeongguk but it passes in flash that he thinks he might be overthinking it. "Oh. . .um okay, Thankyou for understanding again jeongguk." Taehyung says but his face is blank when he says that and jeongguk gets the same vibe, when taehyung told him everything was fine between them this morning.

This taehyung, void of any emotion on his face, too hard to read wary eyes, scares jeongguk if he's honest and he doesn't know how to approach him when he's like this and how to comprehend what he's saying with what emotion.

He's still mad, is the only conclusion he's mentally capable to come on.

It's taehyung who speaks first to break the heavy tension that surrounds them, "I've heard, a guest is coming. . . Um jimin-ssi? Your. . .?" He asks with the same eyes and jeongguk is reluctant to answer, he's not liking this.

"Uh? Oh. Yeah he's my friend and my secretary, you remember him? The one with goofy smile and crescent eyes?"

Taehyung crosses his arms and raises one hand to tug the collar of his shirt, "Friend? And No. Maybe I'll remember when I see him." He says as he plays with the collar more.

Jeongguk eyes the movement and when he lifts his eyes to look at taehyung, he's already looking at him and those harsh eyes with so many guards up are gone now and he mentally sighs in an unknown relief.

"Yes, so shall we? He must be here by now, I don't know what'll he do if we don't greet him by the door." Jeongguk says he starts to walk towards the living room and expects taehyung to follow, who does.

"You two sound close." Taehyung says after a given thought, and it doesn't sound hesitant, it sounds like he's really curious with an underlying unknown intention.
