Chapter Six

...Past Timeline...

"Tae" Jimin calls but taehyung doesn't look behind the people as he leaves the car and walks towards the house.

"I am gonna kill that bastard" Yoongi growls hands fisting into a ball. "Hyung don't...Tae is already afraid he needs you right now" Jimin holds onto him. Yoongi was controlling himself not to kill anyone after seeing his brother's situation.

Taehyung who had little in him to even breathe slowly turns the handle to the front door and walks in only to be stopped by his mother who calls for him. "Oh Taehyung look Mr. Jeon is here to give the hall order, come here," she says smiling as Taehyung eyes the man.

Jungkook's cold face flashes in front of his eyes looking at the older man. His body feels the same shiver and those disgusting feelings and he hates it. "Come here son" Mr. Jeon smiles widely. Taehyung takes small steps towards him as Yoongi and others make their way in.

Mr. Jeon brought Taehyung's hands on his own and pat his shoulder "for someone so young your work is wonderful son, and not just the beautiful flower but your mother showed me your art and it is stunning" he proudly said brought a joyful smile to his mother.

But Taehyung's head hangs low as he can't seem to focus on anything but the event earlier. He was holding back his shaking self because he can't break down in front of them. "Are you okay son?" Mr. Jeon asked lifting taehyung's face.

Taehyung forced a smile on his face and holds Mr. Jeon's hands "thank you" and he bows, barely able to stand properly.  Mr. Jeon nods and Taehyung asks to leave for his room.

"Rine your son is very beautiful if I may say" Mr. Jeon begins once everyone leaves the room "I guess he is pretty," she said in a mocking tone.

"Soon your son will be the age to marry" Mrs. Kim frowns looking at her friend "don't take me wrong I know you are an open-minded person. I was thinking how Taehyung will be as a son-in-law," he said, smiling to himself.

Taken back by the sudden thoughts of the man she questions "son in law?" Mr. Jeon nods "I like you son and I think he makes a great match for my son," he said watching the woman who seems like she doesn't know what to say.

"Why so sudden?" she asks

"My son isn't the perfect person out of that, nor will I say he is a great match for your son but when I look at your son something tells me that your son will be the person to make my son into a better person," he said with the softest smile. The room is silent with the two smiling at each other.

Taehyung upon coming to his room locks the door and stares blankly at nowhere. The disgusted look in Jungkook's eyes and him walking away while Taehyung desperately needed him. His eyes were leaking tears while grabbing his chest because it was becoming too painful for him.

A sudden whimper leaves his lips, thus breathing uncountably it feels as if someone was suffocating him. His legs gave up on him, making him fall to his knees. He was crumbling inside wanting to throw up but everything was burning him. His body screams pain as he tries to stand.

"I a-m fine" he shuttles with shaking hands patts his burning chest.

Jungkook stares into the glowing night taking slow breaths. Something in him wasn't settling well as what he witnessed was bothering him. When Taehyung was surrounded by Jay and his man he didn't stay but left...what itching was the look that Taehyung had when they made eye contact.

Yes, Jungkook had left them alone but it begged him, it couldn't stand the horror in Taehyung eyes which made him return to the locker room but it was too late as he stand in the far corner watching Yoongi beating the life out of Jay and Jimin holding onto Tahyung who had lifeless appearances in him. His shirt sleeves tore from the side and he could see the bruises on them.

Jungkook wanted to approach the man but his feet were hesitant to move because somewhere in him was the guilt of leaving him alone...whatever happened to Taehyung he would have prevented.

"Aish!" He came to a sitting position because his mind was a mess. "It's not my fault he shouldn't have been there in the first place!" He tried to defend himself but it only made it worse as he remembered that Taehyung had come for him.

It is always like that no matter how many times Jungkook had shut him away, Taehyung never failed to show up in front of him. It was a game day because then Taehyung made it up to him to come and personally greet him and congratulate him for winning the game and leave snacks even if Jungkook doesn't touch them.

"Jungkook" He turns to his father who walks the stairs to him. "Yes, appa" he answered.

"What are you doing up here? It's cold. He sits next to his son and sighs "just wanted to be here" Jungkook doesn't look at his father.

"It is nice out here. Oh, I meet one of your friends today Kim Taehyung-"

"Taehyung," Jungkook says looking at his father who has a pleasing smile. "Yes that boy he is the son of my old friend....that boy was so sweet and beautiful" Mr. Jeon continued.

"He is not my friend" Jungkook lays down looking away from his father.

"Why isn't that boy cute and talented? Have you seen his work? He is doing the hall decorating for tomorrow" he said, making Jungkook eye him wide.

"Why him? He can't do that!" he shouts, learning a glare from his father "and why can he not?"

Jungkook opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out "Taehyung will be the one and it has already started. Which reminds me, I told his mother that you would be the one to go pick up Taehyung and bring him to the hall" Jungkook's eyes widened, and jumped on his feet, scaring his father.

"What do you mean you told her that I am gonna pick up Taehyung? How could you do that? You didn't even ask me-"

"I am your father, I don't need to ask you anything. If I said you go pick him up then you will" Mr. Jeon says coming to his son's level.

"I can't Appa! I am busy" he lies! There is no way he's gonna be in a scare with Taehyung alone, he can't be annoyed with the thoughts of Taehyung mumbling every shit.

"Jeon Jungkook, don't make me repeat myself!" he shouts, surprising Jungkook. His father never raises his voice at anyone, especially Jungkook. He is too calm for that but right now he seems completely different.

"Besides, if you don't start talking to him and get to know how you are gonna make your future work," he said.

Jungkook frowns at his father's words "what do your future work" supposed to mean?" he questions but Mr. jeon just smiles at him and fixes his shirt.

"You know soon my pabo son" is all he says before walking away leaving a confused and concerned Jungkook.

Wherever his father says something like that Jungkook has always ended up in a mess!
