Drowning in solitude

Warning: slight triggering

He first thought to tell them to stop the car to get his phone back, then he got another idea .    Well this could be fun .      

  What if he gives it to the police? or just throw it away.   

Truth being , Taehyung kind of wanted to see the boy again . Even if it was for some seconds he saw the boy's face clearly. He had doe eyes and he looked like he was thinking something. Maybe he was looking for the owner of the phone. Taehyung knows his phone doesn't have a password and the boy saw his wallpaper.     Does he think I am cute? He was really cute tho. Oh What am I thinking ?   

Taehyung felt something in his stomach and he wondered if the food was bad . He felt a little hot despite being in an ac car . It was like his skin felt a bit hotter. He worried that maybe he got food poisoning. After a while the car reached his house and the security ran to open the gate. Taehyung walked inside and saw his dad eating dinner, chatting with his mom. " Tae did you eat ?"  His dad asked and Taehyung just nodded, then turned to go to his room . Then he stopped " Dad I kind of lost my phone, could you buy me another one? "

" Of course, I will get it for you tomorrow " dad replied.

Taehyung went to his room and decided to take a shower. He turned on the shower, the water fell on his face and flowed down to his abdomen, he felt a bit cold and turned the heater up. He stood under the shower, eyes closed and thought about the boy when he bumped into him. They both were almost the same height, Taehyung being an inch taller.

Taehyung was a quick observer. He remembered how the boy looked worried when he apologized.  His doe eyes, thick black hair, cute nose , plump lips and the piercing in his lips. Even if  it was for a moment the boy's face was imprinted in his mind. He got off the shower, dried his hair and put on shorts. He had a habit of sleeping without his shirt. Then he remembered the photo that he had on his phone , lying in the bed.    

Oh Nooo , he probably saw it.  

His ears turned red like a rose. Taehyung feels so embarrassed , he curls up in his bed. His body again feels hot .    What is wrong with my body? What would he think when he saw that photo ? Would he like it... Wait  WHAT am I thinking ! Taehyung you idiot , calm the fucking down.

He pushed his face into the pillow and closed his eyes . 

    I don't even know his name. I think his name is also going to be pretty like him.    

Taehyung was giggling and kicking his feet like a teen in love. He turned in the bed and stared at the ceiling . His mind feels content after a long time . After sometime he got lost into the abyss of sleep.

A/n :So here's the character introduction. 

I know you guys probably have a rough idea of the main characters . Let me tell you properly. I will introduce the remaining characters while we go into the story.

Jeon Jungkook

Age: 21

Still in college. (Economics and Trade Major )

Son of Jeon Jungwa( Lawyer) and

Jeon Mina( housewife)

Siblings : Jeon Sooya ( high schooler)

Kim Taehyung

Age : 22

Degree in Business Major.

Son of Kim Sungbin ( Chairman of Yilan Group) and

Kim Seo Yeon ( Ceo of Yilan Group)

Siblings : Kim Namjoon

Jeon household : Jeon Jungwa ( Jungkook's dad ) is a famous lawyer . Jeon Mina ( Jungkook's Mom) is a housewife, she also has a lot of hobbies like crocheting, gardening etc . Jeon Sooya ( Jungkook's sister ) is a highschooler, she is a lovely girl. Even though Sooya annoys the hell out of Jungkook she really loves him.

Kim household: Kim Sungbin ( Taehyung's dad) is the chairman of Yilan Group. Kim Seo Yeon ( Taehyung's mom) is the Ceo of Yilan Group.

Kim Namjoon ( Taehyung's brother) is in the states. He is 5 years older than Taehyung.

The Kims family owns Yilan Group. Yilan is a multi-billion dollar company. Taehyung's Mom and Dad are always busy with managing the company . Being a conglomerate means having a lot of enemies. Many other conglomerates and even  people from the Kims family wanted the company for themselves.

Kim Namjoon was the heir to the company since he is the eldest son. He went to study in the states at the age of 15 . But after some years in the states he didn't want to inherit the company anymore and cut off from the family. Namjoon didn't want to bear that much responsibility in his shoulder. At that time many people in the Kim family wanted to throw Kim Sungbin away from the position and takeover the company. And Kim Sungbin had to announce Taehyung as the heir of the company .

Taehyung was only 17 at that time. He was so overwhelmed by all the stuff that happened. One day while he was reading in the backyard of his house an assassin sneaked up behind him with a knife, fortunately a security saw and shouted out. Taehyung got startled and jumped from where he was sitting and the knife didn't reach him . The assassin ran away, he was probably appointed by someone from the Kim family or some other big company. The event traumatized Taehyung, he was always afraid that someone would try to harm him. He struggles to sleep after that. Kim Sungbin tightened the house security and appointed two personal bodyguards for Taehyung.

Taehyung has never been to school or college. He was homeschooled and took online classes for college. He became a bird trapped in a cage with its wings cut down at the age of 17 . Years passed by and Taehyung got used to being a bird in a cage. The only people he was close with were Hobi hyung and Jin hyung, his two bodyguards. They treated him like a little brother. Taehyung was not allowed to use the internet. Sungbin didn't want Taehyung to get any ideas from the internet and run away from home. His phone was only used to call . But nobody ever called him.

His dad always called Jin or Hobi for anything related to Taehyung. The only knowledge Taehyung has of social media is from watching Hobi hyung's social media accounts with him . He rarely used his phone  camera, since he has a digital camera for taking pictures. Photography has always piqued Taehyung's interests. He loves to take pictures and Hobi Hyung teaches him new tricks in the camera.

Taehyung spends his time learning, reading, working out , playing badminton or tennis with his hyungs . He also has a dog named Yeontan . This was his everyday life. In the end he was lonely, his mom and dad never spent any time with him. He had no friends and Namjoon never contacted him. He was so angry at Namjoon , for turning his life, a living hell. But he also knew why Namjoon did this. This was too much for anyone.

Sometimes Taehyung feels like somebody is trying to drown him into a bottomless pit. He struggles to breathe , his vision turns black , his heart beats so fast. Jin saw Taehyung on the floor one day in this state. Jin comforted him and Taehyung took a long time to become normal. Jin informed Sungbin about the panic attack and Sungbin decided to tell Taehyung to consult a therapist. Taehyung was so stubborn and didn't consult the therapist. Taehyung has a private tutor to set up his online classes for him.

After Degree Taehyung applied for masters online. He rarely went out because he was not allowed to. He always had to beg his dad to go out. Sometimes he goes to the library to buy new books and that's it. Jin hyung told Taehyung about the Busan village festival and Taehyung really wanted to go there . As always he begged his Mom and she convinced Sungbin to let him go to the festival. And that's where the phone got lost thing happened.

Next morning...

It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning. This was the first time in a while that Taehyung slept like a baby.

He woke up with a smile on his face . Taehyung feels so fresh and happy. He brushed and went down to eat breakfast. The maid served Spinach and egg sweet potato toast and some orange juice. Taehyung finished the food and headed to the gym for work out. The house he lived in was not ordinary , it was a Mansion. There was a gym, a pool, grounds for sports, a huge backyard, etc.

After an hour or so he finished the workout and walked to the backyard. He couldn't stop himself from thinking about the boy and a smile formed in his face . Jin and hobi joined him and saw the smile Tae had on his face . He looked like an idiot smiling to himself. They looked at each other and asked at the same time

" What made you smile so much Tae, we hadn't seen you smile like this forever" . Taehyung realised that he had been smiling for some time and suddenly changed his expression. " I am not smiling. Why would I smile? Is something good going on? No right? Then why would I smile ? " Tae answered a lot within a second.  He couldn't tell them about the 'boy incident ' that happened yesterday.

A little bark was heard and Yeontan ran to Taehyung, he picked him up and kissed him. " Tannie did you eat? Tannie wanna play throw?"

Taehyung played with Yeontan for some time and then went to take a shower. After showering Taehyung lied down on his bed and took his new phone . A new sim was already inserted in it.   

  Should I call him? What if he already threw it away? Oh god please don't let that happen.    Taehyung battled his own thoughts and finally decided to call.

Jungkook

On the same morning, Jungkook woke up like he was beaten all night . His sleep was very bad today. He spent a lot of time thinking about Taehyung and was up for a long time at night. He brushed , did some skincare and went down for breakfast. It was only eight in the morning. Mina prepared some pancakes with honey, and coffee. Jungkook needed his coffee in the morning.

His sister Sooya also came down and hit his head lightly  "Mom , mark today's date. Kookie woke up at eight on a Saturday, it could go down in history" .  "Hehehehhee , very funny Soo, mom laugh a little , she thought a lot to make that joke"

Jungkook fake laughed and said.

Mina sighed , seeing their bickering.  "Could you two please stop making fun of each other and eat the food for once ? "

Jungkook and Sooya ate the rest of the breakfast silently, not because mom told them to, but Jungkook was in a lot of thought. Normally they never stay silent while eating. Sooya noticed Jungkook thinking about something and also saw him trying to hide a smile. She decided not to ask about that. Still she will find that later somehow.

Jungkook ate fast and went for a run . He always does a lot of exercise. Especially on weekends he goes for a long run . Today he had a lot on his mind so he took about one and a half hours to run. He also took Taehyung's phone with him in case he called . On his way back he stopped at Jimin's . Jimin's mom invited him inside and called Jimin. " Kookie , he just woke up, he is always like that on weekends. Do you want something to drink ?"

" No aunt. I was running and just thought I should drop by , I will call him later"  Jungkook knows Jimin takes a hell lot of time to wash up in the morning. So he decided to go back . After reaching home Jungkook took a shower, it was almost noon. He checked Taehyung's phone to see if someone called. But no calls. He wondered why would Taehyung even use this phone for? . 

Jungkook went to the kitchen and made some smoothie , Mina was preparing lunch . He drank the smoothie and went back to his room . Jungkook took Taehyung's phone and once again opened the gallery. He stared at Tae's photos. He saw the little black mole on Tae's nose, eye and cheek. His black hair was falling a little to his eyes . In another photo , he had a different haircut. Jungkook smiled at how beautiful Taehyung looks , he felt like Taehyung was looking straight at him. But his eyes had a hint of sadness, Jungkook didn't know why he felt that. 

Jungkook caught himself staring at the photo in which Tae was lying on the bed . Tae has smooth honey skin, also Jungkook notices his shoulder muscles , he definitely was not skinny. A red tint spread on Jungkook's cheek. His cheeks became hot and palms started to sweat. He quickly closed the app .  

What the hell was that?  I am openly blushing for Taehyung. Thank God  Jimin was not here to see that. He is gonna tease me for life with that. But Taehyung is so hot .   He opened the phone again to see if there were any other apps . There were like four games. None of them required the internet to play  , all of them were offline games. Jungkook opened the games and saw that it was played a lot.     

So he plays a lot of games. But why doesn't he call someone. Does he have another phone?  He did look rich tho . That car was a Mercedes.This is probably his other phone .

  Then Jungkook thought of something and took his phone out , opened Instagram and searched Kim Taehyung. No results found. He searched every single social media apps, even on Google. There literally was nothing about Kim Taehyung. Jungkook wondered if he had an alias or something. Nowadays a lot of people use other names . Jungkook was hopeless. There is no other way to find Taehyung. If only he called...

Jungkook sighed

Suddenly

Ringg...
