Taehyung returned back , without saying anything or more like not having anything to say. Those words of Jungkook kept repeating in his mind.
As Taehyung kept remembering the confrontation he had with Jungkook a few moments ago , he couldn't shake the intensity of Jungkook's anger. Eyes full of rage , burning with the desire to burn everything. But it wasn't just that because beneath that anger , he could sense , he could see an unspoken trauma that Jungkook carried. No matter how much angry Jungkook looked or spoke , Taehyung saw it , the hurt , the vulnerability. For Taehyung it had been years that he talked to Jungkook as a close person but for the time he knew him , Jungkook's eyes were the most honest for him, just like this time. The look Jungkook tried to hide with the anger, what was it about?
Unknown to Taehyung, Jungkook had gone through a haunting past , a series of events that left indelible scars on his soul , the past which Taehyung was yet to discover.
Should he ask? He had declined that he will accept the decisions but could he really? Is he so sure that he would able to do it? If yes, then why he feels so scared to confront his parents on this topic? Why he doesn't wanna imagine what answer would they give him?
You are scared Taehyung , you don't want them to push you away. Then how can you think Jungkook should be able to accept it?
He couldn't do it that night , specially not with his father there too. In the morning , when his father had gone out to meet Hoseok's dad , Taehyung decided to ask his mother.
Kim Ye-jin
Mhm? What's it , Tae?
Kim Taehyung
I want to ask you something.
Kim Ye-jin
Sure. What happened?
Kim Taehyung
I just had a thought.
Kim Taehyung
What if , what if instead of a hero..
Kim Taehyung
(he licks his lower lip) instead of a hero , I was chosen as a monster. Would you , you leave me just like that? Not a single thought?
Kim Ye-jin
What's with this question? (frowns)
Kim Taehyung
I just need an answer mom , please.
Kim Ye-jin
(sighs) I think, I would. Your father would too.
He felt a little hurt but it's normal to feel so. He won't blame his parents for that. He was just thirteen, they definitely wouldn't be so sure to know what he's capable of. But what about right now? Can you ask for right now Taehyung?
Kim Taehyung
What about, now?
Kim Taehyung
Now. What if the elders come here and say I was a wrong choice. I don't deserve to be here. I am a monster and I have to leave.
Kim Taehyung
Will you let me go, mom?
Kim Ye-jin
It's hard to believe this. You're a good boy Tae , this won't happen.
Kim Taehyung
Please answer me..(whispers)
Kim Ye-jin
Okay. If that happens, I might hesitate but your father won't.
Kim Ye-jin
He respects the elders and believes in their decision. If they say so , he will accept and later I would too.
Kim Taehyung
*Even after all these years I worked hard to prove it? You will let me go because of such words, ignoring how I hard I am trying.*
"If they yes , would it hurt?"
Kim Taehyung
I see. (he musters up a small smile) I will go to my room , need to check up on something.
Kim Ye-jin
Taehyung are you- (he before she could ask , Taehyung had walked away.)
Kim Ye-jin
(she looks down as her face becomes dull) I would stop you Tae but..
Kim Ye-jin
I am afraid I can't.
Kim Ye-jin
It's okay , not like it will actually happen. Hmm.
Kim Taehyung
Yes it hurts , a lot! But I wouldn't do what you did , Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
Why did you kill your mother?
Kim Taehyung
I could never think of doing it. Was it that bad? That you had to kill her?
Kim Taehyung
You..came back in desperation and killed her because you wanted revenge. It hurts me so much but not to the point that I would kill my parents.
Kim Taehyung
Doesn't it make you cruel anyhow? Doesn't it mean the evil consumed you no matter how good you were?
Kim Taehyung
Is it not that?
Jeon Jungkook
It's easy? I should just accept it?
Jeon Jungkook
Why would I accept something I didn't ask for!?
Jeon Jungkook
(grits his teeth as he punchs one of the trees)
Jeon Jungkook
You don't know anything Taehyung!
Jeon Jungkook
You don't know what happened! You don't know the hell I went through , the hell no one deserved yet I got it!
Jeon Jungkook
I never wanted to kill-
Jeon Jungkook
(takes a deep breath and then scoffs) Don't make me look pathetic!
Jeon Jungkook
You wouldn't be able to survive what I did.
