Just For You Tae:My Best Friend Dad
3
And now here he was, picking up mine.
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Cool, Dad. I’ll keep in touch.”
Mr Jeon
“Sounds good, bud.”
Jungkook hangs up, shoves his phone into his pocket, and then shuffles on his feet.
I run a hand across the back of my neck, not quite sure what to do. I mean, really. What the hell do I do?
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“We could swing by my parents’ and I can grab some shit.”
I glance at him, and he smiles softly at me. My heart flutters in my chest. Stupid coffee, making me all jittery.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
“Are you…are you sure? You want to spend two weeks…with me?”
Because my own son doesn’t even want to do this. Why the hell would Jungkook? I barely know this guy. Don’t teenagers want to spend time with their own kind? I’m like a dinosaur compared to him.
But Jungkook isn’t bothered. No, he just shrugs again, like it’s no big deal, and then takes another step toward me.
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Yeah, Taehyung. I think I’d really fu^^ing like that.”
Mrs Jeon
“So, you two are going to the UP,”
His mom states as Jungkook walks to his room to pack, leaving me to chat with this woman who seems completely unconcerned that her son is going on a trip with me.
I mean, not to parent-shame, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be comfortable with Hoseok going on a trip with an older man for two weeks.
Especially one I didn’t really know all that well. Not that Hoseok would listen to me. And not that anyone would either. She’d probably let him go just to spite me.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
“Yeah, if that’s alright with you?”
Mrs Jeon
“Jungkook can make his own decisions. He’s always been an old soul like that.”
, I let out a huff because yeah, I’ve noticed that about him. Two years ago, when Hoseok had blown me off on my birthday to go to a party, Jungkook had shown up at my place with a pizza and two cupcakes.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
“Why are you here and not with Hobi?”
Jeon Jungkook/Koo
“Meh, I’d rather sit here with you.”
We ate that pizza on the front porch because I was too afraid to let him inside. Of what that might look like to the outside world.
But that moment in time wasn’t anything but a lonely old guy and his kid’s best friend taking pity on him. The two of us watched the sunset and sat in companionable silence until he left.
It had made the abandonment I felt from Hoseok a little easier.
And yet still, I worried for weeks about his parents coming after me or accusing me of something, despite doing nothing wrong. But they never brought it up. I wonder if Jungkook ever told them.
Probably not. It seems like he’s free-range and has been for quite some time.
It also seems like his parents have no issue with Jungkook going camping with me for two weeks.
Kim Taehyung/Tae
Shit, they know I’m gay, right?
I shift on my feet, feeling awkward because how the hell does she know that? It’s a small town, but it’s not that small.
Mrs Jeon
“Jungkook told us. Said you were pretty upset about the breakup.”
Authy 🖤
