Taehyung is afraid of responsibility

Taehyung stood by the window, hunched over. Anger seethed within him, a rage he was afraid to admit.

Jungkook, his boyfriend, had just returned from lectures. He took off his sneakers, hung up his jacket, and walked into the room. The sight of him always brought that strange lump to Taehyung's throat.

"Late again?" Taehyung snapped, not even turning around.

Jungkook winced and stopped in the doorway. This was the beginning of a prelude to a scandal.

"Got held up in the library," Jungkook answered quietly, taking off his backpack. "The seminar is tough, you know."

"I don't know anything!" Taehyung turned around abruptly.

Jungkook saw that Taehyung wasn't so much angry with him as choking with fear. Taehyung was yelling at him for something he couldn't do himself—for his lack of purpose, for being afraid of being a burden to the student.

"Taehyung," Jungkook took a step forward. "I'm studying so we can have a future. Why do you always make it my fault?"

"Because you don't think!" Taehyung took a step back, hitting his shoulder blades on the cold glass. He hated himself for being unable to give Jungkook anything but reproaches. "You think I'm going to sit here and wait for you to deign to remember that I exist?"

He lied. He yelled at Jungkook for being irresponsible himself. And instead of saying "help me," he said "it's your fault."
