Eyes shut and legs tottered when the car screeched halt infront of Jungkook as his body involuntarily moved back, almost losing his balance which caused him to fell down on his bottom. His mind went blank, failed to function any movement around him and his body twitches slightly as he was scared.

"Jungkook?!"

Jungkook didn't hear the voice, his body felt numb from the sudden event. But a warm body embraced him, not letting his fragile body to meet the ground.

"Jungkook?"

The wavery voice reached to eardrums causing him to came into the reality. He still was scared as he clutched his hand over the unknown person's arm. He tried to open his eyes.

"God, is that you?" Jungkook stammered, eyes slowly flutters open, expecting someone with circle thingy over head.

"Doll, are you okay?" Jungkook couldn't able to see the face of person as the streetlight was falling upon his face, making him go blind by it.

"Hey, doll – open up your eyes." Jungkook felt the person hugged him tighter while his grip on the person's collar tightened.

"Taehyung?"

Taehyung breathed out in relief. "Yes, doll. It's me." He pulled Jungkook on his lap, hugging him firmly as he doesn't want to let him go at any chance.

"Thank god, you scared all of us!" Taehyung laughed gaily, cradling the small boy.

"Scared? Why?" Jungkook asked in a tiny voice, chin placed on Taehyung's shoulder while eyes big in curiousity. He felt comfort by Taehyung's patting.

"You went missing for straight 6 hours, doll. No one had the clue of your whereabouts. Everyone is looking for you right now." Taehyung pulled back from the hug. "Your dads are worried as hell." He continued, looking down at the bambi eyes.

"I got a call from your dad saying that neither you were with your friends nor you went home after school." Taehyung breathed out softly. "I-I really got scared. You doesn't know anything about outside and I thought you got lost, doll. We thought you got lost. You scared us, doll." He leaned to press their foreheads together.

Jungkook stared up at Taehyung's brown eyes. His bottom lip trembled and closed his eyes as he let out a cry.

Taehyung panicked when he saw Jungkook began to bawling out like a small kid.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" Taehyung asked, checking upon Jungkook's face and hands. He notice a cut on Jungkook's elbow probably because he fell down.

"Shush! Don't cry." Taehyung said softly. Jungkook stop crying, tears fell down from the corners of his eyes. He sniffled, staring up at Taehyung with his galaxy holding eyes which were more sparkly due to tears.

"I didn't know I was lost. I-I thought they changed the route to the building or something." Jungkook babbled, confused because he seriously didn't realise he came to an unknown direction.

Jungkook let out a sob. "You're so smart, Taehyung and m'so dumb. I got confused so I just sat there like Yoongi dad–" Jungkook hiccups. "Y-Yoongi dad said t-to sit." Hiccups. "-there where I got confused in finding." Hiccups. "Way to home." Hiccups.

Taehyung have never seen anyone this adorable before. His slender fingers raked through Jungkook's long locks, caressing the scalp.

"Little one, you did a good job by staying at a same place."

Taehyung tighten up his grip around Jungkook, picking up the boy who wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Let's go home now. You must be hungry and tired after this long day."

"Home?"

"Your apartment."

"Not mine but yours." Jungkook hiccups. "Annoy–" Hiccups. "Ing!" Jungkook cried out, wiggling his legs in air.

Taehyung dropped Jungkook on the passenger's seat, helping him in wearing the seatbelt. He also takes out a water bottle for Jungkook.

"Take small sips of water, it may work for you." Taehyung uncapped the water bottle, pushing the opening of the bottle to Jungkook's lip who bunched up his fist on his clothed forearm while taking sip from the water bottle.

Jungkook blinked. Taehyung peered at him. Jungkook smiled as his hiccups stopped.

Taehyung returned the smile, capping the bottle, happy to see the small boy wasn't struggling anymore. He about to pull back when Jungkook gripped on his shirt tightly, stopping him in his tracks.

"Kiss."

Jungkook puckered his lips. Taehyung paused as his gaze fell on those pinkish lips. Without any thought, he cradles Jungkook's cheek, leaning forward. The faint sound of tree leaves rustling in the peaceful atmosphere.

The silence makes Jungkook confused because Taehyung was taking so much time. They both leaned forward at the same time, causing to bump into each other's lip, not complaining though.

Taehyung kissed him softly and so delicately – meow – the sudden sound caused them to pull away, lips still brushing with each other.

Taehyung let out a chuckle against Jungkook's lips, eyes still closed. He caressed the side of Jungkook's face before pecking the boy's lips softly, lips not completely touching.

"Kitty!" Taehyung turned away from Jungkook, eyes darted down at the small cat. He crouched down to pick up the cat who hissed at him.

"Ow, little scary."

Jungkook unbuckled his seatbeats and leaned down to pick up the cat who snuggled up to him.

"I almost forgot about you," the cat purred as Jungkook was caressing his head. Taehyung gulped down because indeed the little cat was scary as he could see the way cat was peering at him, eyes glowing in the darkness of car.

The cat meowed cutely, settling down on Jungkook's lap. Taehyung closed the door and walked across the car to hop into it.

"Are you going to take this cat home?" Taehyung asked, buckling up his own seatbelts.

"Yeah!" Jungkook exclaimed loudly, without glancing up at Taehyung who bit his inner cheek before starting the engine and driving them to their building.

Jungkook hissed at the cold sensation of ointment on his elbow.

"Hurts that bad?" Taehyung asked, putting down the discared cotton away and applied an ointment cream on the fresh wound.

Jungkook puffed out his cheeks, nodding.

"I already called your dad, they will be here in any minute." Taehyung closed the first aid kit, putting it aside. He stared up at Jungkook as he was crouching down infront of him.

meow

"Oh, I think your cat is hungry." Taehyung stood up. "I think I have cat food, wait a minute." Jungkook saw Taehyung disappeared from the drawing. He looked down at fluff ball before speaking.

"My knee hurts too."

Taehyung hummed in agreement as he found the cat food in his lower cabinet.

Meow

Taehyung turned away his gaze to the cat who was sitting on the floor, looking up at him, tail rested on floor.

"Now you're acting cute infront of me." Taehyung said, putting the cat food on a small sized plate. The cat caressed his head against Taehyung's leg, cutely meowing.

"Yea, yea, your food is ready." Taehyung crouched down to put the plate infront of the cat who began to eating from it. He chuckled before walking to his drawing room.

Taehyung screamed.

"It's cold, Tae." Jungkook pouted slightly as he got startled by Taehyung's scream.

"W-Why are you naked?" Taehyung asked, putting his palm infront of his eyesight.

Jungkook looked down at himself before pulling his knees to his chest, resting his chin on knee.

"I'm not naked. I'm wearing my under wear." He mumbled in his tiny voice.

"Why are you even wearing underwear?"

Jungkook blinked. "Should I take them off too?" He said excitedly because who doesn't like the 'no underwear' party.

"No!!!!" Taehyung screeched, palm still blocking the sight. Jungkook glanced at him.

"My clothes became itchy and sweaty, so I take them off." Jungkook maffled, settling down the sofa. Taehyung takes off his palm infront of his eyesight, he sighed softly looking at Jungkook.

"Wait here, I'll let you borrow my clothes." Taehyung said and about to whirl around to go to his room–

"Wait! I want your shirt or I'm not wearing anything."

Taehyung gasped softly in disbelief – eyes wide when Jungkook stood up. He's actually small from Taehyung.

"I like the colour." Jungkook chimed, began to unbuttoning Taehyung's shirt – it was one of his favourite shirt – blue silk shirt, perfectly hugging his chest. He also knows the tendencies of this boy and how stubborn he really is.

"Stop being stubborn? Did I say you can touch me?" Taehyung said lowly. Jungkook let out a mewl of surprise when Taehyung gripped on his bare waist. His small hands pressed against Taehyung's chest and eyes big.

"Stop me, if you can." Jungkook challenged, their eyes not leaving each other. He gritted his teeth in anger as he hates when someone call him 'stubborn', 'brat' and other mean names.

"And I'm not a stubborn, you got it? I'm just clear about what things I want and what I don't." Jungkook exclaimed lowly. He unbuttoned Taehyung's shirt and tried not to bat an eye on that tan toned chest, he just take off that shirt and wear it.

Taehyung saw Jungkook sat on the couch, the bottom of shirt wriggled up as he leaned his arms over the crest of couch, looking out of the window. The light up buildings were drenching in mild rain.

"I'm sorry."

Jungkook didn't hear him as he was focused on the sliding raindrops on the window.

Taehyung sauntered to him, pulling down the bottom of shirt, to cover Jungkook's clothed ass. He sat beside him and turned to Jungkook. He could clearly see the reflection of outside into Jungkook's eyes.

"Listen, I didn't mean–"

"I have so many stuff in my room. But here, I got nothing."

Taehyung furrowed his brows before scooting over Jungkook.

"I miss having so many maids around me. They used to help me so much but now no one is here. Everyone is just meanie and always like to scold me."

Taehyung instantly regretted his words when he saw tears on Jungkook's eyes.

"Hey," Taehyung approached, his voice was soft. "Don't cry." He leaned over the couch, gazing over Jungkook. He hesitates before petting Jungkook's hair.

"No one likes to scold you, doll. But when they do, it's for your own good. They scold you because they love you?" Taehyung's slender fingers dug into Jungkook's long and smooth hair, caressing him.

Jungkook sniffled. "So you love me?"

Taehyung's heart stopped for a milli-millisecond before gathering his courage to say.

"Too much adorable to resist."

Jungkook pouted because he didn't get it and turned his gaze towards outside of the window. Taehyung's lips hovered over Jungkook's round cheeks before pushing his lips softly against the cheek.

"Do you know how much your dads feels relieved when they heard the news of me found you?" Taehyung whispered. Jungkook giggled.

"I love their worried faces."

Taehyung let out a smile but before he could continue the door bell of his apartment rung. He pulled away and saw how close they were sitting. His eyes widen as he saw Jungkook wasn't wearing pants and he wasn't his shirt. He immediately ran to his room, rummaged through his closet, taking out a shirt and pant for himself and Jungkook.

"Wear this, quick!" He threw a pant toward Jungkook and buttoned up his own shirt. He could hear the continuous ranging of bell.

As soon as he opened the front door. The Jungs didn't even greet him as they just entered into his apartment.

"Kookie, baby!" Yoongi just hugged Jungkook who was in middle to zip up his chain.

"We're so sorry, Mr.Kim. We always say that we won't bother you but still engage you in our matter." Hoseok slightly bow down to Taehyung as an apology.

"It's alright, Mr.Jung. I'm glad to help you in finding Jungkook."

"Hoseok!!" Both the male snapped their head towards the voice which belongs to Yoongi.

"Jungkook is coming with us and lets just stop your stupid experiment of making him independent and what not." Yoongi exclaimed loudly, hand wrapped around Jungkook's wrist who looks extremely adorable in those big pants of Taehyung.

Hoseok fish-mouthed as he knew it was useless to say anything during this time. Yoongi wasn't going to listen to him. So he just nodded.

"So I'm not going to be back in this place!?"

"No! I won't allow that." Yoongi snapped then turned to Hoseok. "Even if your dad is against it." Yoongi turned to Taehyung. "Mr.Kim, I can't thank you enough. I owe you so much." He tried to walk past Taehyung but he couldn't move as Jungkook's feet glued to floor.

Taehyung bit his lower lip, seemed to look upset as Jungkook never going to come to his apartment again. Maybe it's for their own good. He gulped down and looked away, not able to look into those doey eyes.

"What's wrong, Kookie? Let's go home. You'll not live here anymore." Yoongi expressed, glancing back at Jungkook.

"My cat." Jungkook mumbled and rushed to Taehyung's kitchen. The Jungs furrowed in confusion but it soon fades away when Jungkook came out with a cat in his hand.

Jungkook cradle the cat and gazed up at Taehyung who was looking everywhere but him. A cease drew up in between Yoongi's eyebrows when Jungkook hugged Taehyung. But he doesn't pay much attention to it as he finally have his baby.

Taehyung froze when Jungkook looked up at him. But he didn't give any reaction when the Jungs left his apartment, leaving him behind alone like before.

Just him and his loneliness.
