36: Hurt or hate?

Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V


"Get lost! But be back soon." Jin kicked Yoongi on his butt making the said male groan in response.

Jimin snickered, enjoying the view for hours. Taehyung smiled as well but deep down, he was still embarrassed about his outburst in the early morning but was also grateful as now the older was looking unbothered.

Little did he know, they all had a very detailed conversation about the whole matter after Jin finally told them all the miseries the brunet went through.

"I'm gonna break your ankle if it touched my precious butt once more!" Jimin lost it on the remark of the totally annoyed silver-haired and fell on his knees while laughing hysterically.

Taehyung chuckled at the view as well, one thing sure by now was that Jimin was very weak in this condition and couldn't easily control his laughter.

"Whatever! And please, make sure to keep me updated." Jin huffed at the end but dismissed the further talk because Taehyung was now more attentive.

Both Yoongi and Jimin left the house and Jin decided to go grocery shopping while Namjoon was dragged with him for carrying the bags, of course.

Taehyung trudged back to his room and plopped on the mattress, his mind playing with the words of the older.

"It's not bad to cry?" He mumbled to himself and then a sudden memory flashed in front of his eyes. Once, he said the same to his sister, who was crying after falling while trying to ride a bicycle. She tried not to cry at first but then ended up crying on his shoulder.

A faint smile formed on his lips, he missed it all.

It was evening a day after, and Namjoon and Jin were cooking in the kitchen, well only Jin was cooking while the other just sat on the chair, sulking.

"Hyung. I'm going for a walk, if you need anything, I'll get it on the way back." Taehyung announced, marching towards the door, a hoodie was hiding his figure completely because he still felt odd whenever people stared at him.

"Nothing is needed. Just make sure to be back within an hour, supper is almost ready- I told you to just sit Joonie!" Jin seethed on the poor boy who again broke a plate just by touching the edge.

Taehyung shook his head with a smile, he loved them, their bond.

"I'll be back soon."









It was getting colder by now, it had to be.. the cold crisps of wind were harsh yet refreshing. His shoulders moved up unconsciously when the gush passed over his body, leaving nothing but a sense of coldness all over.

His outside was cold, just like his inside. He wanted to forget about the things that happened before, to be as ignorant as he could, but it was difficult, so so much difficult.

Heaving out a sigh, he started walking back to the house when it started to get a bit darker and after dinner, he had to go to the club as well. His weary eyes watched the kids happily jumping around, their parents beside them... their happy faces and sweetness. He watched it all and felt bitter inside although, his lips were stretched in an unconscious sweet smile.

"It would be easier for you if you get it over with. One day, she will definitely get to know the truth. Just be strong.... or try to be strong." He mumbled to himself and sped up his walk.

Just when he reached the block, he saw a very familiar car parked near the house. The calmness was gone and his anger started increasing noticing the owner of the car standing by the door, leaning on the car while staring at the window of the house.


First, Taehyung decided to ignore him and just get inside, he was about to do so but stopped when he felt the other hastily trying to chase him.

"Won't you ever let me live? Aren't you done yet?" His voice was calm but only he knew, how much he was controlling at the moment.

"No, it's not like that. I just wanted to make sure that you're doing fine." Jungkook replied in his soft voice.

Taehyung scoffed loudly and turned back to face the other, who was again clad in black from head to toe, this time a bucket hat was added to the collection.

"I think you made a mistake with your words. Isn't it like, you wanted to make sure that I'm still miserable?" The venom, pierced through the other's heart.

"Taehyung-"

"It's Mr. Kim, please stay formal." Taehyung quickly cut him short.

"Do you hate me?" Jungkook deadpaned, his voice low but stern. He wasn't sure why he was acting like this when he was a fool in the first place.

"Hate? Are you sure that's the only word? After whatever you did to me, hate is a very small word, Mr. Jeon!"

"I told you before and I'm repeating it, I. Didn't. Do. That!" Taehyung slightly flinched when Jungkook slammed his fist over the car with a loud bang.

"I was rude to you, I admit that. I did things wrong, and I admit it as well, but I'm not that low to do this all! That's definitely not how I was raised!" Taehyung squinted his eyes, his lips turned into a snarl and in the next second, his hands were having a tight grip on the other's collar.

"Then I was raised like this?! I was raised to be a robber, a molester!" Jungkook was taken aback, internally cursing himself for his own blunt words.

Taehyung's eyes were glistening with unshed tears, and his hands were shaking on the collar but he didn't let go.

"I- I didn't mean that." Taehyung's grip loosened on the soft tone of the other and just stepped back, hands fisted tightly and eyes still focused on the other.

"No, say it. Say whatever you want. After all, what I can expect from you?"

"Tae-"

"Stop it, Jeon! Just leave me alone. I'm- I'm really trying to get over it but it's just getting harder. Just admit your amazing plan and get it over once and for all! You don't need to act sweet if you're really feeling guilty for your deed."

With a visible change in his expression, Jungkook sighed and just when he stepped forward, Taehyung stepped back.

"Even if you're not interested in Seoyun shi, you can have anyone you want. I understand it now, you were just trying to separate us, you just wanted to target me, to break my heart.. to hurt me! you weren't even-" A jerk on his shoulders stopped his ranting and his eyes met with the dark ones.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, ok." His lips parted again, like he wanted to say a lot but decided the opposite. His hands let go of the grip and he stepped back.

Taehyung was sure that he saw the other clenching his shirt under his coat, he was sure that he saw a drop or two falling from the other's chin as his eyes were now hidden behind the hat.

"But it wasn't my doing and I'll prove it to you, very soon. But till then, please stay s- safe." With that, Taehyung was left alone as the other again drove away hastily.


It was so odd, their unexpected meetings, or more like Jungkook's unexpected appearance were very odd. Shaking his head to get rid of the feeling, he breathed deeply a few times before ringing the bell of the house and waited till Jin opened the door with a different glint in his eyes.

"Right on the time," Jin gestured for him to enter the house.

Namjoon was sitting on a couch that was right in front of the door and was talking with someone.


"Is someone here? A guest?" Jin nodded his head with a smile and walked back to the couch to sit beside Namjoon.


Once Taehyung stepped out of the little wall, his eyes widened.

"Taetae!" A cheery voice echoed in his ears and soon, a figure jumped over him.

"How are you, Taetae?" The cheery voice again asked but Taehyung was too much surprised to even respond.

It was indeed a surprise or should I say, a shock. The figure who was hugging him was the one, who used to slap his hands away from her head whenever he tried to pat or caress her. The other who was now standing at a distance, was the one who brutally broke his hopes and strength just a few weeks ago.


Euni pulled back on the lack of response and looked up to see his brother on the verge of tears and wide-eyed.

She frowned and looked back to see her mother in the same situation.

"Taetae? Are you.. are you not going to talk to me?" She mumbled and Taehyung blinked rapidly before smiling, his arms quickly wrapping his sister in his arms.

Euni giggled and wrapped her hands back, her hand patting the mid back of her brother because of the size difference.

When they pulled back, Taehyung's eyes were again glistening, and a smile formed on his lips when the small hands of Euni grabbed his hands and smiled.

Oh, how much he was waiting for this day, to see his sister like before, to see her all smiley and happy with himself, to see her like this.

"I'm so happy to see you, Euni. I'm really happy." He croaked out, trying his best not to burst into tears once again but this was overwhelming for him.


"Same, Taetae. I'm also sorry for avoiding you before." She muttered lastly but Taehyung quickly shook his head and leaned a bit to peck her head.


"It's ok. But, how did you know that I'm here?"


"Oh, he escorted us here, saying that you're missing us and want to meet us. He brought us here with himself." Euni quickly said but Taehyung was confused.

He wanted to ask about the person but was stopped when a hand started caressing his cheek tenderly. Without looking beside him, he could tell who was there.

"Euni, come on and tell me what you wanna eat and drink." Jin clapped his hands to get the girl as he knew better about Taehyung's condition.

"Ok." Euni chirped and followed the older who nudged Namjoon before entering the kitchen. 

"Taehyung, why don't you take her to your room? We will set the table till then." Namjoon suggested knowing that Euni shouldn't hear it all and the duo needed to talk about it all.

Taehyung nodded lightly and his mother followed him silently.

Once in the room, Taehyung walked straight to his bed and gestured for her to sit as well. But, it never happened as he was engulfed in a warm embrace, and the next second, sobs were echoing in the once silent room.


"I'm so sorry, Tae. Mom is so sorry my bear. I'm so- sorry." She was sobbing on his shoulder and Taehyung felt his hands moving up to hug her back, his own eyes shedding tears freely.

"I shouldn't have said that to you. I- I know that you can't do that. My baby is so kind and innocent to do anything bad. But, I was- I was so angry with them."

"You- you didn't trust me, mom. You trusted her- her words."

"No baby! I- I trust you my bear. I was just so worried about you and your well-being, it made me angry that I sent you here, trusting her but she-" A sob interrupted her, she pulled back to cup Taehyung's face and wiped his tears.

"I was hurt, mom! I am hurt! Your words broke every ounce of strength in me. I was trying to cope with it all on my own, not wanting to burden you. I didn't tell you, how I was kicked out of the job! I didn't tell you, how people called me names! I didn't tell you, how he- he tried to touch-" She covered his mouth while shaking her head furiously and hugged him again.

"I'm so sorry my bear. I'm such a bad mother. I shouldn't have leashed out on you. You're doing so much for us, and what did I do in turn? I don't know, it's- all the relatives were mocking you. I-"

Taehyung buried his face in her shoulder and cried his heart out. It did hurt a lot, but it felt like healing in the warmth.

"I'll make sure that he will pay for what he did to you!"


"He's already in j- jail." A hiccup interrupted his words and his mother sadly smiled, pulling him to the bed. Once he was sitting, she pulled his head and pecked his hair many times.

"Are you- are you really ashamed of m- me?" She again sobbed on that, head quietly shaking in denial.

"No bear. You're such a great son. I'm so much proud of you, for fighting this all, alone." Her tears were not stopping, guilt was too much... she could feel the pain her son went through but she was suffering too. 


Taehyung felt his heart beating again without a heaviness. His head moved up, teary eyes meeting with her mother's teary ones.

"I don't want to be a sh- shame, mom. Dad- dad would be disappointed-"

"No, he won't be. No one can be ashamed of you, bear. No one can." Taehyung sighed to control his tears that were not stopping any movement.

"That's not good, you're making Taetae cry, mom." Euni marched inside the room with a frown, a little limp was there as usual but her cheery self was something new.

"A family hug, without me? Not fair!" She huffed but was soon pulled forth in the hug.

"I'm also proud of you, Taetae." She whispered in his ear, making him smile more.

Namjoon and Jin smiled looking at the little family, never expecting to see the little girl so wise who hid her tears skillfully before entering the room to join the hug.



"I wish, he stays like that. Always happy." Jin mumbled with a smile.

______

After their emotional moment, they all had dinner in pure happiness. Jin was so happy to see the real and genuine smile of the brunet.

Namjoon left for the club, saying that Taehyung and Jin would stay home.

"You are so nice, oppa." Euni praised Jin who felt his ears getting red quickly.


"Thank you, sweetie, you're also very cute just like your brother." She quickly admitted that with a proud nod, making the others chuckle.


"I'm a very good cook, I'll show you in the upcoming days. You're staying, right?" Jin quickly asked Mrs. Kim.


"I'll definitely meet you again but this time, we can't stay for longer, we have to leave tomorrow because of my classes." Jin pouted as Euni replied instead of her mother.


Taehyung's smile turned into a confused look.


"Oh yeah, who brought you here?" He inquired, almost forgetting in the moment of his happiness.

"A very handsome boy," Euni said with a cute nose scrunch, that left Taehyung more confused.

Jin, who was silently observing his difficulties in guessing the person, finally said it out loud.
















"It was Jeon."
