Step Brother..(Taekook) attention

Taehyung

(God, he's not the only one who needs a drink,)

Taehyung

(Sucks that I have to wait three more years to drink legally) -

('m 21, but the drinking age is still 24. Why can't this be Europe, where I can drink at 18? Just my luck.

My mom and Kai engage in small talk, leaving me and Jungkook to sit and stare at each other awkwardly.

He taps his fingers against his glass, then tilts it towards me, silently offering me a drink.

I stare temptingly at the glass, knowing I could sneak some in before my parents notice.

He starts to pull the drink away, but I quickly swipe for it. I bring the glass to my mouth and take a swig,

Gagging slightly on the burning, murky brown liquid as it claws its way down my throat.

Taehyung

That was fûcking gross.

I gently push the glass back towards him, stealing a glance at my mom to make sure she isn't watching.

Taehyung

Oh, thank god she didn't see. I hate embarrassing her.

Taehyung

She's always held me up on a pedestal.

Jungkook smirks, firming his lips contemplatively, a smug grin spreading across his face.

I cross my arms over my chest and meet his gaze with an annoyed expression of my own.

Taehyung

I think it's pathetic how easily impressed you are. Not a sign of high intelligence,

I snap back. Jungkook chuckles, his eyes glinting with amusement.

Taehyung

And you just feed into the bait,

He says, his voice dripping with sarcasm. My hands tighten into fists as I struggle to contain my frustration.

God, he is so infuriating! A fuçking instigator! I could punch him right now...

Taehyung

What's the matter?

Taehyung

Are you upset Daddy's got his attention on someone else?

I say in a mocking voice, nodding my head towards Kai. Jungkook's humorous expression dies down, replaced by seething anger.

jungkook

I could care less,

He says, his voice low and even.

jungkook

It's not like your mother's the first.

jungkook

She's just another name on a long list.

His words are like a slap in the face, and I feel my anger boil over.
