It's the beginning
Taehyung stays gasping with his palms strongly pressed to his chest, trying to minimize the pain. His hateful glare is set on the man before him, who is staring back with a satisfied glint into his eyes.
The priest retreats his hand and smiles kindly,
Priest Jeon
"Now. The tour has ended. Go back to your room or roam around a bit more until you are called for dinner. We will discuss more afterwards."
He bows, takes a turn and disappears behind the wall. Taehyung stays stuck in the middle of the empty hallway. He looks down towards his palm and sees it's still flaming red and aching from where the priest has slapped it.
He scoffs and turns around. He can find the way to his room by himself and then he is just gonna lock himself in there forever.
He turns a few rights and arrives face to face with a staircase. He smugly grins and proceeds to go upstairs.
Taehyung
'How easy it was to find. He just gotta make everything complicated,
What escapes him is that the stairs are slightly lighter in color than the ones the priest showed him.
What tae did notice though is that the stairs seem to never reach an end. He keeps going up the stairs, until coming to a stop, breathing heavy.
He glances above him to see how much longer the stairs are gonna be, when he notices a few floors over him a powerful source of light illuminates the ceiling.
His curiosity pushes him further and he basically rushes up the remaining stairs until he faces a dark brown, wooden door. From underneath it, light enters over the end of the staircase.
For a second, his thoughts ran to priest Jeon. Would he let him be here? Does this lead outside? Will this get him more punishment? 'He did say I can walk around so **** his punishments! He tells himself.
He steps closer and places his still slightly red palms against the cool door. Taking in a breath, he pushes the door and with a loud creak, it opens.
He had to squint his eyes because of the sudden powerful light attacking his vision. He blinks a few times and then peeps to what is behind the door.
It looks empty apart from some objects scattered around the place. Something in the far corner of the attic glistens in the light coming from two windows on the right ceiling.
He takes a step into the attic, the old wooden floor looking terribly and poorly made and creaks with force under his step. It's like no one stepped inside here for years, because everywhere he looks, it's covered in a grey, thick dust.
He reconsiders not going and investigating the room after he herd the noise produced by the floor, but his curiosity is eating him. What if the object glistening is precious? What if it's gold? Tae's mind is flourishing with possibilities. He takes another step, and another, until he reaches the middle of the room.
A frame of the floor catches his eyes and he can see it's a boy in the frame.
Taehyung
'Could that be priest Jeon?'
while advancing towards it, he steps on a weak nog and it cracks under his feet.
He lets out a scream and falls to the floor near the cracked piece of wood.
Tae whips his head towards the door where the scared voice came from. There stays the priest, a hand on the side of the door and one over his heart.
Priest Jeon
"Come here right now! called you to dinner a few times, just to find you were messing around."
He carefully stands up, the floor creaking under the movement. His eyes fly to the frame and he quickly crawls towards it, making sure to avoid the cracked wood.
He snatches it from the floor and coughs lightly when the dusts raises in the air. With a hand he wipes the glass and sees a smiling boy, behind him what seems like a hill with many flowers. He has light brown hair, dark eyebrows and carries an innocent, wide smile. He doesn't look to the camera, instead something to his right caught his attention right when the photo was taken. He has a plump lips too. He seems young and happy.
The frame is taken suddenly from his hand with force and he looks up into the man's annoyed eyes. They are the same height, Tae notes.
The man takes a look at the boy in the frame and his features freeze. His eyes go from a glare to being gentle and Tae thinks he can see them watering. The older's hands start shaking. The object is dropped next to his feet and he marches out of the attic, gripping Tae's forearm and dragging him along. The door is close behind with a loud 'boom'.
Tae doesn't understand who the boy in the photo could be so that he has such an effect on the emotionless and annoying priest.
They arrive to the dining room, two plates with food placed on each end of the table. The priest lets go of him and sits on his side.
Tae goes and sits on the other side and inspects the plate. Fried chicken ****** with mashed potatoes and some tomatoes slice. His stomach growls at the sight- it looks better and healthier than what they serves at the campus.
Priest Jeon
"What were you doing up there?"
Taehyung
"You said I can walk around,"
Taehyung shrugs one shoulder and takes the first bite. He has to stop a moan from escaping at the taste. Did the priest cook or is there a cook?
Priest Jeon
"That is the last part of the house I hoped you would see."
Taehyung
"Why? If you want me to not go there, you should put a sign or something. You know, as warning,"
Jeon makes a disgusted face at the sight of the disrespectful young boy. He tries to stop his staring and clears his throat to get the attention on himself.
Priest Jeon
"My name is Jeon Jungkook, but you are under no circumstances going to call me 'Jungkook', it is 'priest Jeon' for you. Also, you are under my roof now, so you have the responsibility to respect me, listen to me and do what you are told to do. You can leave a better person from here, you just have to go along with the rules. If you refuse to do any of them, or space out while I am talking to you, you will get punished."
Taehyung
"Punished? What can you do? Slap my palms every time I don't want to hear your boring speeches? Go ahead! Can't wait to see how that will make me a better person, Jungkook"
He literally snarls the last word.
Priest Jeon
"You will learn to behave soon, Kim Taehyung. You received a punishment today already, so I am not going to give you another one. I understand being here is tough for you, and it's just your first day, but let's try to be as calm as possible and as understandable to each other, otherwise this training won't work for you."
Tae jumps from the table, forks dropping to the floor with a loud sound.
Taehyung
"I don't need 'training'. What the fuçk did my parents even tell you I am here for? I am here because my parents are two close minded fuçks who can't accept that I like fucking with guys."
Tae suddenly laughs hysterically when he sees the face Jungkook is making at his words.
Taehyung
"It's gonna be so much fun here with you, Jeon Jungkook."
