Chapter 18 - The Mother
Jungkook dropped the phone when he heard an ear-splitting scream fill the apartment. Not bothering to pick up his device, he bolted out of the room to check on Taehyung. Instead, he found Yoo-Roo screaming and crying while Taehyung watched with a grin on his face and eyes large and sparkling with amusement.
......
After the incident with Yoo-Ra, Jungkook did the necessary paperwork and talked to the police about issuing a statement. He filed charges, and even though Yoo-Ra begged him not to, he did so anyway and placed a restraining order. If she violated said order in any way, then the police were to be contacted, and she was to be arrested.
That meant she couldn't comment on social media, be near him, have any interactions with him whatsoever, which did not settle well with the older woman. Taehyung was included in the restraining order. If she did anything to harass him, harm him, slander him, or cause any stress that would hinder him physically, emotionally, or mentally she would be sued by Jungkook.
During that time, Jungkook's parents learned of the woman breaking into their son's apartment and were furious at the lengths she was willing to go to keep his attention.
I mean, she was close to Jin's age. She had no business chasing after Jungkook.
Sighing, Taehyung ran his fingers through his dark curls and waited on his boyfriend.
Yup, the Taekook were now officially back in a relationship. It took a few more weeks of them having sex and Taehyung having the younger man rubbing his feet and getting every and any food he craved before he finally caved. Still, when he caved in, he did so by giving his boyfriend a blow job and allowing him to do anything he wanted with his body.
Taehyung was on bed rest for at least a week.
Right now, he was sitting in the waiting room, clearly irritated he had to wait to see the man he was involved with. Jungkook's father was the CEO of an ad company, the man had only come into this position within the last five years, but he was dedicated to his job and made sure every employee was valued.
Being the son of a CEO, Jungkook was supposed to follow in his father's footsteps and work hard to one day be the CEO of his own company when all Jungkook wanted to do was paint and sing.
Due to the nagging of Mrs. Jeon, Jungkook was forced into an internship where he would learn the ropes of being a so-called successful man, which called for long hours at the office with his father and tagging along to meetings and outings with other corporate bosses that wished to partner.
Either way, Taehyung found the talk of business dull and wished Jungkook would tell his mother off. And by the way, the younger was looking as he stormed into the waiting room, the small woman following behind him, her hands waving through the air and an adorable too expensive little hat on her head. It was only a matter of minutes before Jungkook would blow up.
Stopping in the middle of the room, Jungkook pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to calm his anger as his mother continued to run her mouth about what he needed to do to secure his future.
"I don't understand why you won't listen to me. All you need to do is make sure you are in everyone's good graces here at the company, go on lunches, be friendly, share food, go out to karaoke, and smile. You want to be financially stable when you have children, right?" Mrs. Jeon continued, her voice growing more and more high pitched.
Taehyung's eyes ran over the skinny woman and rolled his eyes. She was the cliche harpy mother you would see in a K-drama. The ones who did nothing but lounge around the house and bitch about the help. She wore suits in season, always had her nails manicured and painted, still wore the 'in' hairstyle, and covered her face in makeup.
She was a massive contrast to his mother.
Mrs. Kim was a plump woman with a kind face and a soft voice. Her hair flowed over her shoulders in soft, ebony ringlets, and she always smelled of flowers. She grew up on a farm, so she was accustomed to hard work and was self-sufficient. The woman styled her hair, did her make-up that would put supermodels to shame, and made sure her nails were flawless. Before, when they all got together for a family dinner at Taehyung and Jungkook's apartment, the women reunited and did not get along.
While their fathers were joking and laughing, telling each other stories of their childhoods. Their mothers were in a glaring contest and judging each other.
It would only be a matter of time before they discovered they would be expecting a grandchild, and Taehyung was not looking forward to them bickering over the baby.
"Jungkook!? Jeon Jungkook, do not ignore me, young man!" Mrs. Jeon continued in a high-pitched tone, and Jungkook clenched his jaw and spun on his heel to glare at the smaller woman.
At this moment, Taehyung took in his lover's appearance and was gracious for one thing about his father working in a company. Jungkook looked hella good in a suit. Especially with his hair dyed the color of a raven's feathers, and his hair had grown shaggy within the past weeks.
"Oh my God, woman, shut up! I know! I have thought about all of this, and you nagging me will not make me decide any faster. Fluff a pillow or something and get out! You do nothing but get in the way!" Jungkook's face was red, and his shoulders became tense. Mrs. Jeon was staring at her son in shock, face the same color of scarlet.
"How dare you! I am your mother!"
"No, you're a tyrant! I'm in my twenties; stop trying to dictate my life! I am a grown man!"
While the two were screaming back and forth, Taehyung rubbed his belly when he felt it rumble. He was growing hungry, and the baby was impatient. Jungkook promised to take them out for seafood pasta today. And even though he was limited to certain types of seafood, that never dimmed his excitement on the small date they were going to have.
Yawning, Taehyung did his best to keep quiet as the two Jeons continued to bicker, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Jeon shut her mouth like a steel trap and turned her beady eyes onto the pregnant male. Jungkook followed her gaze and bristled, already knowing what the woman was going to ask.
"Taehyung? Why are on Earth are you here at my husband's company?" The ravenette wiped at his eyes and turned a bored gaze to Mrs. Jeon, seeing the instant disdain on the woman's face.
Letting out an aggravated sigh, Taehyung went to stand, and that's when her eyes found his fifteen-week baby bump hiding under his sweater. You could barely see it, but when you had a gaze that scrutinized everyone and everything, you noticed minor details like the slight curve to Taehyung's belly.
Before she could open her mouth to caw once again, Jungkook was in front of Taehyung, dark brows drawn together as he tried to keep his mouth from becoming very disrespectful.
"He's here because we have a lunch date. Mind your business, woman." He huffed. Mrs. Jeon continued to stare at Taehyung, taking in his appearance, and Taehyung wrinkled his nose overlooking his outfit. He thought he looked nice today. Tannie even approved it.
"Is there something you wish to say, Mother?" Jungkook demanded and stared at the woman.
Mrs. Jeon's eyes shot back over to her son and then went back to Taehyung before she noticed their conjoined hands and Jungkook's other hand behind him, she couldn't see, but she assumed it was on the other male.
"So...you found a way back into my son's life?" She accused, and Taehyung's eyes grew wide.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. After you broke up, I thought Jungkook was done with you. It looks like you found a way back in just like you wormed your way in at first." Her eyes were now off to the side, searching around the room as she spoke down to him. Before Taehyung could open his mouth, Jungkook sighed in exasperation, tired of his mother's shit.
"I chased after him. I wanted him. What he and I do is none of your business and will remain that way! If you don't like it, then you can stay out of our lives and the baby's!"
Jungkook didn't realize he was very loud when he hollered at his mother and revealed Taehyung's pregnancy to the entire building. Mrs. Jeon stared slack-jawed. The few people coming into the building paused to watch the spectacle that was going on between the CEO's son and wife.
"He...you got him pregnant?!" Mrs. Jeon screeched. Jungkook held his ground, removed his hand from Taehyung's, and wrapped his arm around his shoulders, pulling him close.
"YES! He's moving in with me, and we're getting married!" Jungkook screamed back.
Mrs. Jeon started to fan herself and fell against the couch, eyes looking as if they were going to roll to the back of her head. Taehyung wiggled free from Jungkook's grasp and stared at him over the frame of his glasses.
"Um...what?"
