Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

Everyone gasped on hearing Taehyung's words. Sehun choked on air, Baekhyun's elbow slipped from the table and his chin hit the table as his face was resting on his palm. Jackson was just watching wide-eyed while Chanyeol was trying to digest the words.

Jungkook was surprised as well, but a smile soon broke onto his lips and he looked up at the boy in his arms. Taehyung gazed up at the voice of something breaking and that was the glass Chanyeol was holding before. His trance broke down and he got panicked, quickly backed off from Jungkook, and took back steps in a daze.

He is gonna reject me..what I have done.. no no no...

A new storm of thoughts started hitting his mind, taking more back steps, and turning on his heels he rushed towards the door.

Jungkook was just watching him with a surprised look but when he felt that the brown-haired was running away. Shaking his head, he tried to chase the male. 

"Tae?" He called out.

"I am sorry... I blabbered something that I shouldn't." Taehyung said in a low voice while reaching the door, trying his best to just leave the area as soon as possible but his movements halted when someone back-hugged him.

"No need to be. In fact... Thanks. Thanks, a lot for everything Tae. Thank you so much." Jungkook breathed on his neck and Taehyung felt weak again. Closing his eyes, he sighed in relief that he didn't get rejected like he used to reject in his school life. Deep down, he was really scared to accept it all, to confess it all, really very afraid of getting a rejection, something he always feared. It wasn't like he meant to hurt the hearts that were attracted to him, he was just afraid to fall, fall badly when he needed to do a lot. 

"Ar-are you fine with it?" With some hesitation, he finally asked.. almost ignoring all others that were enjoying the whole scene.

"Who wouldn't be? Finally, you realized it." Jungkook chuckled, kissing Taehyung's hair gently, who let another small sigh of relief fall from his lips. The raven-haired slowly turned to look at his face, moving some locks from his eyes and tucking them behind his ear.. he leaned more and kissed his forehead. The touch was so gentle that Taehyung closed his eyes, feeling loved.

"No more tears," Jungkook demanded while wiping the remaining tears from others' cheeks and Taehyung smiled at his words, finding his heart going that thing again.

"Today you will have your dinner with us." He said and left with Taehyung to inform Jin, who gladly gave him permission.

Everyone was eating in awkward silence, as Chanyeol was boring his eyes on Jungkook who was smiling at nothing. Baekhyun and Sehun were staring at Taehyung who was eating shyly while stealing glances from each other. Jackson was just busy with chicken...

"So... H- how about your family?" Sehun started but regretted it as soon as his words escaped from his mouth when Chanyeol gave him a death glare. He was aware that Taehyung was always sensitive about this topic even back in school.

Taehyung stopped eating, his grip tightening on the chopsticks when the words fell in his ears.

"I am sorry but-"

"It's ok. What about Jin Hyung? He is nice, right?" Chanyeol quickly changed the topic.

"Yeah, he is." Taehyung smiled and everyone felt relieved, not before giving Sehun another warning glare.

"So Taehyung.. Do you remember our names? I bet you don't." Baekhyun cocked his brow, stuffing his mouth with the delicious food. Taehyung felt bad as he was right, so he slowly shook his head.

"It's ok... Well, I am Baekhyun," The same male pointed toward himself.

"I am Chanyeol.." Chanyeol waved his hand.

"Jackson," The male said nonchalantly, was more focused on the chicken.

"I am Sehun.. better to call me huny." Sehun tried to act cute but got smacked by Baekhyun who was sitting right beside him.

"Come on! Jungkook got his heart but at least he can call me by a nickname." Sehun whined like a child and Taehyung looked at him confused.

"Don't mind him, Taehyung.. his screws are a bit loose." Baekhyun joked and Sehun just squinted his eyes, glaring or more like shooting daggers. 

"You know me.. or should I also introduce myself?" Jungkook whispered in a low and deep voice, making sure to reduce the distance between their faces. 

"If you are masked, then please introduce yourself properly.. otherwise I know you," Taehyung replied with a smile causing Jungkook to be surprised by his words but both of them ended up smiling at each other. 

Dinner was good as Baekhyun and Sehun were continuously fighting over something and they even heard Taehyung's giggles. After dinner, they all bid goodbye to him and left except for Jungkook.

"Thanks again, Tae.."

"Why are you thanking me?" Taehyung was confused why Jungkook was thanking him again and again.

"It's just... you made me happy today."

"Oh.. ok. Good night" With that Jungkook waved and left.

"So~ how is your mood now?" Taehyung got startled by Mrs. Choi, who was standing behind him with an amused look.

"It's fine.. um, I think I should also leave now," The brunet mumbled shyly and Mrs. Choi was beyond surprised after all, she never saw him like that.

"Taehyung?? It's you right?"

"What do you mean? Of course, it's me, noona."

"Ah.. yeah. I think you should go." She giggled lightly and Taehyung left for changing. Just when he was about to leave the restaurant, he got a call from Dr. Jung. His smile dropped and his eyes got filled with tears after hearing the news. He quickly rushed out of the restaurant, ignoring Mrs. Choi who called him after seeing his pale face.

................

"H- how is she? Wh- at happ- happened?" He was totally out of breath after running as fast as he could. Reaching his mother's room, he found an empty bed and then he rushed to Dr. Jung's office where a nurse informed him that his mother is in I.C.U. with Dr. Jung and his friend.

"Hey hey.. breath first. Don't worry.. just calm down" Hoseok got worried after seeing his condition. Taehyung's face was covered in sweat, his scattered hair and shaking hands.. in short, he looked miserable.

"I - am fine. How is sh- she?" Taehyung asked again, just wanting to see his mother... his only family.. his only hope in life.

Hoseok sighed, understanding well that Taehyung won't calm down so he took him into the room. Machinery showed a clear sign of life and the brown-haired fell on his knees while sighing in relief. Hoseok quickly grabbed him by his shoulders, feeling very sad for him.

"You ok??" He asked with concern and Taehyung just nodded. Hoseok gestured for a nurse to bring water for him while he himself helped the boy to stand up and guided him outside of the room. After making him sit on a bench, he handed him the water.

"Here.. drink it." Taehyung took that and gulped down the water, muttering thanks afterward.

"What happened?" Just after the glass was empty, Taehyung asked again, looking expectantly at Hoseok with big doe eyes.

"Her vitals got unstable that's why her heartbeat stopped for a while but she is stable now."

"S- stopped?" Taehyung mumbled in disbelief, eyes totally unfocused and his heart almost skipped a beat.

"Taehyung.. here look at me," Hoseok said softly and Taehyung did so.

"I called one of my friends, he is a specialist in this field. He is suggesting surgery but to be honest there isn't much good hope. But still, I want to try for you." He explained and Taehyung was hearing him silently.

"If you are comfortable, we can perform surgery as soon as possible. He is here just for this case." Hoseok informed him.

"H- how much you ne- need?" Taehyung asked with a sad look.

"Money isn't a problem. I can-"

"No please don't burden me anymore. Y- you already did much... please tell me so that... I can arrange it." Taehyung was quick to interrupt, he already knew that Hoseok wanted to help him, again.

Hoseok told him a huge amount for surgery and Taehyung left the hospital after visiting his mother for a while.

....................

"H-hyung."

"Tae?? What happened?" Jin asked worriedly when he saw his red eyes and nose. Jin was still in the restaurant as he used to stay till 12 or more late and Taehyung was in desperate need of someone... so his feet took him to his hyung.

"I- I need your help, hyung." Gulping thickly, Taehyung said in a low voice and Jin quickly grabbed his hand before taking him to sit on a chair.

"First of all.. stop crying. And secondly, I will do anything for you so don't worry about anything.." Jin wiped his tears with worried eyes and gently patted his head. In the next moment, Taehyung hugged him so tightly as if his life depends on him.

"Hyung.. m- my mother... I need money for her operation." His muffled voice was more heartbreaking.

He pulled back and looked up with his teary eyes.

"Y- you can cut it from my salary.. b- but I need money urgently.. please hyung... please.. help me." His voice was so desperate.

"Tae... sweetie don't worry about anything.. ok. In which hospital your mother is admitted?" Taehyung told him everything in detail and Jin felt utterly sad for the boy. He called Hoseok after taking his number from Taehyung and asked about every need.

The next day, Taehyung was in the hospital as his mother was under an operation, and he couldn't blink for the whole night. The operation was going on for 4 hours and every minute was like a whole year for him. Jin was with him the whole night, trying to calm him like a real brother. 

"She will be fine. Please drink water, Tae." Jin tried for the nth time and again Taehyung refused, saying that he isn't thirsty or hungry.

Soon, the door of the operation theatre opened and Hoseok came out. When Taehyung's gaze fell on him, he quickly rushed to him and grabbed his arms.

"How is she?"

"Surgery went well. I hope she will be fine.. we will shift her to her room after a few hours. But please take care of yourself Tae.. she won't be happy to see you like that." Hoseok softly patted his shoulder with a worried look when he saw the younger's condition.

"Thanks, doctor for your hard work." Jin lightly bowed with a smile.

"No worries Mr. Kim," Hoseok replied with the same warmth before disappearing inside his office.

Few days passed quickly as Taehyung was busy with his mother. Her condition was stable like before yet not awake, at least, she was there for him. Taehyung tried to call Jungkook but to his bad luck, the other didn't respond.

He must be busy with his business.

He thought to himself, leaning more on the couch. He was happy that Jin gave him days off so that he can spend his time with his mother.

Feeling his bones aching, closed his eyes to take some rest as he wasn't taking much rest these days but soon his eyes opened to a certain voice of groaning. He took some steps towards the bed where he felt some movements.

"T- Tae?" He heard the voice.. the voice he wanted to hear for a long time. Blinking his eyes to believe that he wasn't dreaming, he quickly took his mother's hand in his own.

"Eomma? I- i am here.. i am.. Doctor.. D- doctor?!"

°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°

"Her body is still weak. I am surprised that she actually woke up," Dr. Byun said to Hoseok after checking up on Mrs. Kim.

"Maybe his prayers are answered." Hoseok smiled while looking at Taehyung who was smiling like a small child, busy telling about some stuff to his mother.

............

Jin wanted to visit Mrs. Kim but couldn't, having urgent meetings for his father's business was something he can never miss.

When Mrs. Kim told him that she is better, Taehyung decided to go to work again. And the day he went back to the restaurant, he got no news from Jungkook. He was feeling sad, he really wanted to be with him but again thought that the latter must be busy with business.

He was missing the time when he used to get flowers from Jungkook. When he was feeling close to him.. he was missing the care he got from the other.

'I miss you, bunny.' 

He texted him but again got no response, making his lips turn into a pout.

"Tae? You are back.. come on we need to go somewhere." Jin informed him and they left for the place where Jin was going to meet someone for business purposes.

They entered a luxurious club, it was the first time Taehyung to enter such a place. Jin was in front of him and guided him to the booth where his business partners were sitting. They all greeted and started talking about stuff. Taehyung felt awkward as he didn't know about that at all so he decided to take a little trip to the club. He again tried to call Jungkook but still no response.

With a heavy heart, he took some steps towards the main hall where all the boys and girls were dancing, drinking, and enjoying. He felt lonely... for the first time, he felt like that. Even when he used to be lonely, he didn't like that anymore. He was missing the time with Jungkook, his bunny smile, and his silly efforts to make him laugh. A smile formed on his lips, remembering old moments which were too good to be true.

Standing on a side, his eyes fell on a certain raven-haired who was busy with a girl. The girl was sitting on his lap while doing things with him. Taehyung's heartbeat quickened at the sight.

'No, that's not him"

Denying it continuously, he slowly took steps toward that booth with a wildly beating heart.

Standing right in front of the boy, his breath hitched, and his heart literally thudded against his ribcage, leaving him breathless. His fear was in front of his eyes, witnessing something he never wanted to see. Being a gulping mess, he took a breath with great difficulty and said a single word... catching the attention of both boy and girl.

"J- Jungkook?"

Take care all of you..💜💜
