Pretty Mess [Taekook] 1

*.....* - ACTION 💭...💭 - THOUGHTS

Jungkook feeling cheerful and humming to myself as he round the corner. Jung just had a good lesson, He has the afternoon off, and the sun is shining for once. The humming fades away as his house comes into view.

The place looks the same as ever—same dirty bricks, peeling paintwork, and the red door that we’d painted in an attempt to jolly the house up but had only highlighted how shit the rest of the exterior looks. Ming(Tyler) old car is still there. It’s been broken down so long that the weeds have grown around it. The new additions are the men coming out of the house carrying furniture.

Jungkook stop dead in his tracks. Unease flares brightly as one of the men tosses the table he’s carrying onto a pile on the street. It’s a careless, dismissive motion, and the cheap wood splinters into pieces.What the f**k?

Jung start to run, his rucksack banging painfully into his shoulders. The men glance up at the sound of his hurried steps. They look like they’ve sprung from a mould for thugs—thickset, no necks, and cold eyes.

What’s going on? *Coming to stop*

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

💭As one, they all look to another man just coming out of the front door. He has the unmistakable air of being in charge. He’s tall, with close-cropped hair and an expensive suit. He pauses on the doorstep, looking at us before removing his sunglasses. There’s no expression on his face and no warmth in his eyes.💭

Part of the Story

Who are you?

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

Who am I? More to the point, who areyou?

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

💭His eyes move over me, itemising my faded jeans, old pink Kylie concert T-shirt, dusty Vans, and battered rucksack. Amusement flares on his face, but rather than relaxing me, I tense more. It’s like seeing a shark grin and show its teeth just before it eats you💭

Part of the Story

Oh, you must be Jung. Tyler told me all about you.

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

You know my brother? *Blink*

Part of the Story

You could say that, Jung 😏

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

Part of the Story

He never warned me you were such a mouthy little f**ker, though 😒

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

What’s going on? *look around and fear seers through me*

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

Where’s Cath?

Part of the Story

Part of the Story

For the moment.

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

What the f**k does that mean? *look at his stern face*

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

Have you hurt her?

Part of the Story

She’s just getting her stuff together.

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

Why?

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

What’s going on?

JEON JUNGKOOK/JUNG[MC]

If you know my brother so well, where is he?

He steps onto the pavement, and Jungkook can’t help his instinctive move backwards. Humiliation rushes through him at the amusement in his eyes, but there’s something cold about him, something very frightening despite his nice suit and pleasant tone.
