18. New Talisman
After absorbing some Yang energy, Taehyung walked to the bathroom door and hesitated for a moment. He still didn’t feel like going out; even though he couldn’t see or hear the ghosts, he only needed to think about them to know that this group of Jeon family’s ancestors was certainly discussing him.
Kim Taehyung
*Turned away from the door and sat on the toilet with a troubled expression.*
This broken power to see ghosts was really unwanted. Next week, no matter what, he needed to go back to his old house and investigate. But how would he bring Jungkook over…
Kim Taehyung
*Sighed slowly as he thought, sounding like a little old man.*
Jeon Jungkook
“What are you doing?”
At this time, Jungkook suddenly flung aside the shower curtain and looked at Taehyung who was sitting on the toilet wearing a stunned and cute expression.
Jeon Jungkook
*He teased*
“Waiting for me to get out of the shower?”
Kim Taehyung
“No, I just…”
*couldn't think of a good excuse and stammered, making it so he had no option but to turn away and leave.*
Kim Taehyung
*Bracing himself, he opened the door and went out.*
The hallway outside the bathroom was silent. Taehyung stood at the bathroom door with a troubled expression. Although he felt awkward about going in again, one step closer to his talisman was one step closer. Another few minutes passed and the sound of water from the shower stopped, followed closely by the swoosh of the shower curtain being pulled aside. The sound of Jungkook slipper-shod footsteps drew closer, then halted. He was probably drying himself off and putting on clothes.
Jungkook was done showering, but this was not comforting to Taehyung because that the tendril of Yin energy had grown tired of waiting and was starting to rise from the soles of his feet. As soon as Taehyung’s Yin-Yang eyes were activated again, three heavily-lined old faces sprang up in front of him. The nearest was only several centimeters away from Taehyung. At the same time, he could hear an old voice complaining.
Ghosts
Jeon ancestors: “These eyes of mine really can’t see. Even this close, they can’t see clearly…”
They seemed to be trying to see what Taehyung looked like!
Taehyung was mentally prepared, but he still couldn’t take this sudden close contact. He swiftly clapped a hand over his mouth and blocked the scream that was caught in his throat. He was about to rush back into the bathroom but found that one of the old ghosts was standing right at the door. To go into the bathroom, he would need to pass through the old ghost’s body. Remembering how terrible it felt Yin energy had frozen all his joints until they curled up, Taehyung was defeated by his terror.
Kim Taehyung
*He turned his head and ran in the opposite direction. All he could think about was how to put more distance between him and these ghost ancestors.*
The white-faced Taehyung had only ran several steps when he saw a brown head suddenly pop out from around the corner. It was the doberman carrying a dog toy in his mouth. Bright Yang energy enveloped his body like molten gold. Its strength looked no less than that of Jungkook!
Kim Taehyung
(Damn, this dog has very strong Yang energy!)
*His expression was so agitated he seemed ready to swallow the doberman in one mouthful."
He shot forward like an arrow and bent over to scoop up the terrified Bam who looked like he was about to turn tail and run. Taehyung took the dog into his arms and hugged him tightly!
Immediately after he touched Bamie, the chilly feeling in Taehyung’s body vanished. He hurriedly looked back and found that the ghost ancestors in the hallway had also disappeared.
Bam’s beady black eyes were opened round and wide, and even his bow had gone crooked from shock. He barked as he tried to get free of Taehyung’s arms.
After several strokes, Taehyung succeeded in dislodging the bow from Bam’s head.
The very vain Bam was now even more unhappy.
Bam
“Woof! Woof woof woof!”
Kim Taehyung
“… Sorry.”
*scrambled to pick up the bow and put it back on Bam.*
Bam
*Mood seemed to get better. He lay in Taehyung’s arms and didn’t struggle any more.*
Taehyung softly let out a breath. Before today he would not have thought that animals could also have Yang energy. In that case, he could keep a Yang energy-heavy pet as a talisman in the future… something like a hamster, which he could keep secretly in his bedroom. Then he would not need to keep sticking to Jungkook… At this point, Taehyung’s mood, which had been somewhat low for the past few days, instantly became sunny. The more he looked at Bam in his arms, the more he found him cute!
Thus, when Jungkook had finished putting on his clothes and had walked out of the bathroom, he saw Taehyung twirling around with Bamie raised joyfully in the air. After spinning several times, Taehyung, with shining eyes, kissed Bam on his small head.
Jeon Jungkook
“I’m done showering.”
*strode over, the hint of a dark smile on his lips.*
Jeon Jungkook
*He took Bam from Taehyung’s arms and, with an incomparably calm expression, kissed the same spot Taehyung had kissed.*
Bam
*Greatly enjoyed the feeling of being doted upon.*
He didn’t know that he had been used by his big brother as an instrument for an indirect kiss with his sister-in-law!
An Inexplicable feeling of panic rose in Taehyung's heart. With a whoosh, he turned his head to stare at the wall.
Kim Taehyung
*Pretending he had not seen anything, he suggested seriously*
“Let’s make good use of the time and do our homework.”
He was deathly afraid that the Jeon family’s ancestors would feel that he was leading astray the sole heir of nine generations!
Jeon Jungkook
*Put Bam on the ground and swept his gaze slowly over Taehyung.*
Taehyung’s pajamas did not fit well: they were a bit too big on him and the neckline was opened a little wide. Both of his good-looking collarbones were completely exposed, leading smoothly to his fair and clear throat and pointed chin. Seeing this, Jungkook could not control his thoughts. He could only think about quickly hugging the little sticky cake Taehyung, wrapping them in blankets, and going to bed.
Jeon Jungkook
*Eyed Taehyung hungrily like a wolf. He said in a low voice*
Jeon Jungkook
“We’ll do it together tomorrow. Let’s sleep first.”
Kim Taehyung
*Picked up his new talisman Bam from the ground and did not notice Jungkook expression.*
Kim Taehyung
*He asked innocently*
“It’s only nine. Can you fall asleep at this hour?”
Jeon Jungkook
(I wasn’t thinking of sleeping. Hyung just wants to hug you.)
Jeon Jungkook
*Took a deep breath and pressed down on the wicked fire in his heart while saying*
“Then let’s do homework for a while.”
Kim Taehyung
*Holding Bam, Taehyung followed Jungkook into the study.*
The table in the study had been bought by Jungkook's father in order to do his work. But after he bought it he barely used it at all, so Jungkook took it over. The surface of the work desk was especially big and books and stationery could be freely put anywhere. It was very comfortable. Jungkook gathered together the things on the desk to create a pretty big space for Taehyung to work. Then he dragged over a swivel chair from another room so the two could sit side by side at the desk like in school.
Kim Taehyung
*Pulled out his homework from his school bag and put it into a thick stack in the order in which he wanted to work on it. Then, he took math workbook from the top of the pile and flipped it open. He murmured to himself*
“Complete pages 46 to 50…”
Looking at Taehyung’s serious demeanor, Jungkook thought is fun. He followed his example and put his homework in the exact same order, then opened his math workbook and flipped to page 46.
Kim Taehyung
*Glanced at Jungkook and saw that he also wanted to do math first. Eagerly, he asked*
“Let’s compete and see who does it faster?”
Jeon Jungkook
“Sure.”
*pulled out two sheets of blank paper and handed them to Taehyung to use as scratch paper.*
“Let’s start.”
Kim Taehyung
*Patted Bam who was lying on his knees and said*
“Jungkook's little brother, you’re very good.”
Bam
*Grunted adorably and absorbed himself in playing with his dog toy.*
Kim Taehyung
*Buried his head in his book and started to answer the questions.*
It was very quiet inside the house, and only the sound of pen tips scratching over paper could be heard.
Taehyung finished twelve multiple choice questions in one go, then stealthily glanced at Jungkook workbook. He saw Jungkook was still on question 11 and instantly relaxed. With full confidence that he would win, he started on the fill-in-the-blanks.
By this time, almost twenty minutes had passed. In these twenty minutes, Taehyung had not touched Jungkook at all, but his Yin-Yang eyes had not activated. Clearly, this was all Bam’s good work.
Kim Taehyung
*Ruffled Bam’s fur twice, the corners of his lips slightly lifted. He was very pleased.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Knocked Taehyung’s knee gently with his own, asking*
“Why don’t you touch me anymore?”
Taehyung had the dog to help him now and was completely unafraid.
Kim Taehyung
*He said with a stern face*
“Usually, I don’t touch you either.”
After he spoke, he even inched his swivel chair away from Jungkook by ten centimetres to demonstrate his innocence!
Jeon Jungkook
“You come over here for me.”
*He was both angry and amused.*
Jeon Jungkook
*He took hold of the armrest of Taehyung’s chair and forcibly pulled Taehyung towards him.*
Then, nudged Taehyung’s homework towards him a little as well. The two were now pressed very close together. If their arms and legs moved even a little they would touch.
Kim Taehyung
“The table’s so big. Don’t you dislike being so close?”
*protested and scooted away a little*
Jeon Jungkook
*But he immediately pulled him back.*
Jeon Jungkook
“Still running?”
Kim Taehyung
*Shot back*
“Don’t make a scene.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Eyes narrowed slightly.*
“You’re usually firmly stuck to me. Now you’re refusing to admit it?”
Kim Taehyung
*Was completely serious and poker-faced as he said*
“That’s your misconception.”
Jeon Jungkook
(The little sticky cake was suddenly not being sticky anymore. It was probably because he needed a beating!)
Jeon Jungkook
*So frustrated he ground his teeth.*
Jeon Jungkook
“Sit quietly. If you run any more, I’ll make you sit in my lap.”
Kim Taehyung
*Face instantly flushed red.*
In order to make the atmosphere less strange, he forced himself to tease casually.
Kim Taehyung
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll break your leg if I sit on it?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Gave a devilish smile.*
“Try it?”
Kim Taehyung
“No way. Hurry up and answer your questions. I’m two ahead of you right now.”
Red-faced, Taehyung changed the subject. He didn’t dare keep running away either. He buried his head in his scratch paper and started to write furiously.
An hour later, Jungkook closed his workbook and stretched leisurely. It looked like he had finished his work, but Taehyung was stuck at the last long-answer question. His handsome brow was tightly knit as his pen flew over the paper, writing and calculating. His face was even a little red from exertion. As for Bam, he had laid his head down on Taehyung’s knee and fallen asleep.
Jeon Jungkook
*Stood up and quietly went down to the first floor. A while later, he came back up holding a plate of washed and cut fruits.*
Jeon Jungkook
“Open your mouth.”
*peeled a grape and pushed it against Taehyung’s lips.*
Taehyung was concentrating fully on the long-answer question and didn’t give it any thought. He opened his mouth and ate the thing Jungkook had brought to his mouth, his soft lips touching Jungkook's fingertips.
Jeon Jungkook
*Retracted his hand and licked his fingertip. He said*
“This is really sweet.”
Kim Taehyung
*Thought he was talking about the grape and replied distractedly*
“Yes, it is very sweet.”
