17: Puzzled

Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

Jungkook was halted in his tracks when he realized where he was going. Why did he want to go there? Why did he want to comfort the boy in visible pain? Why he was caring for the person who was nothing but a challenge to him? Maybe, the answer was there, he was just not ready to hear that. 

With narrowed eyes, he saw Taehyung moving his head a little on a chair while the blond was saying something to him.

"What happened to him?? And who is that boy being so caring towards him?" Avoiding the irritation in his mind, he muttered under his breath but didn't dare to take another step when he saw Jin running towards both males... purely worried.

"I think I need to take you to the hospital." Jimin licked his lips and informed a sweaty and pale Taehyung who mumbled a no, eyes still closed. The blond was fanning him with the menu card that was placed on the table, looking more panicked than anyone in the hall. Soon a waiter came with a glass of water and he quickly took that, muttering a small thanks. 

"Here drink this water." Right in time Jin came.

"Tae. Are you feeling better?" Frowning at the state of the totally drained boy on a chair, Jin said one of the waiters to take his coat from the office and keys as well.

He took the glass of water from Jimin and tried to make him drink by helping his head a little to make his lips reach the brim of the glass.

Taehyung's eyes were still closed but somehow he took a sip or more and mumbled thanks under his breath. Jin was too much worried that he didn't notice the presence of Jimin, who looked equally concerned.

When the waiter gave him the keys and coat, the older male wasted no moment and quickly leaned forward to take Taehyung making him stand up.

"Can you walk?" He whispered and Taehyung just nodded slightly with his head still spinning.

"Wait.. no. He can't walk like that. Well first of all take off his coat.. he is sweating badly. I think his blood pressure must be abnormal now." Jin heard a panicked voice from his back and looked up to see a familiar face.

"Um.. Hi." Jimin flashed an awkward smile and blinked many times before taking a step forward and in the next moment, he bit his lower lip harshly before picking up Taehyung bridal style.

"I- can walk," Taehyung mumbled weakly, struggling a bit in Jimin's hold but the latter just tightened his grip, ignoring his words.

"No way... I don't want to pick you up from the ground. So just stop struggling and don't make it awkward." Jimin glared a little bit sternly and Jin was watching with mouth ajar, still keeping silent about that.  

"Come here." Shaking his head lightly to focus on the brunet, he said to Jimin, leading him to his own car. Jimin placed Taehyung in the backseat of Jin's car and quickly gestured for his own driver to chase behind the car. Hastily, Jin took the driving seat.

"Not hospital please." Taehyung again mumbled, hearing that Jin and Jimin share a worried look.

"But Tae you need-"

"I want to rest hyung, I am fine now." Not wanting to go to the place where he lost someone so special, he stated, sitting a bit more straight to show what he was saying was true.

"Well sure.." Jimin huffed and said something to Jin who raised his one brow but managed to leave the driving seat and take the seat beside Taehyung after which the former took the driving seat.

Taehyung looked up at Jin with questioning eyes but other just made him lie on his lap.

"Rest well. Don't worry I am here." Jin assured, using the softest tone, stroking Taehyung's hair who quickly got the warmth in the touch and closed his eyes.

"But restaurant?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Choi will manage it," Jin replied with a small smile and Jimin started the engine.

Jin guided him to his home and Jimin kept his eyes on the road but more on now-sleeping Taehyung who had his lips parted.

The blond male couldn't stop stealing glances from the rearview mirror while driving safely to the destination, utterly disturbed by the unexpected event before. 

Jin took out his handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from Taehyung's face and neck gently. He keep threading Taehyung's hair as the other was feeling good under touch.. leaning more toward it.

"Is that it?" Jin heard the voice and looked around through the window to look out.

"Yeah..just horn, the gate will be open." And Jimin did the same. The house was pretty big and had a fancy look.. well why not. Kim SeokJin was a known boy who was born with a silver spoon. His family was famous in the business world and he was Kim's only son for now as the younger one, unfortunately, died during an accident.

Jimin took a mental note to ask Jin about Taehyung as well. Well pulling the brakes on the engine as well as his thoughts, he stopped the car once in the front of the main building of the house.

Jin got out of the car and Jimin also came forward to pick up Taehyung who was sleeping peacefully.

This time Jin picked him up with a little help from Jimin who grabbed Taehyung's coat that was in Jin's lap. The blond silently followed the handsome boy to the room where he laid Taehyung on the bed and took off his shoes.

"I need to change his clothes. Can you please wait in the living room for a bit?" Jin turned his head and politely asked the blond who was boring his eyes on the beautiful male on the bed.

"Hunh.. oh yeah sure." Getting caught staring at Taehyung, Jimin stuttered but managed to sprint out of the room, feeling less awkward.

The male took his steps towards the living room where a maid greeted him and asked him for drinks to which he just asked for water. Admiring the infrastructure, he was looking at the few pictures hanging on the walls when he heard rushed steps come inside the living room and the new person was guided by a maid to the room where Taehyung was lying. Jimin just watched him with a frown, especially at the treatment he got.

Clicking his tongue to distract himself, he kept looking at the pictures of Jin and his family when his eyes caught sight. He leaned more for a better view.

"My deceased brother." A voice came making the blond nod his head unconsciously.

"He looked like him," Jimin stated a little taken aback when Jin gestured for him to sit on the couch.

"Yeah. He has almost the same features that's why he caught my attention the first day I saw him." Jin lightly chuckled, eyes screaming in pain, but shrugging it off he told the maid to bring some drinks and snacks for both guests.

"Well, I remember why you seemed so familiar." Jimin started after a little while and Jin gave him a confused look.

"Do you remember when Park Enterprise held a party at your restaurant? I was there with my father." He compiled and Jin quickly remembered the event, nodding with a smile that was short-lived.

"I heard that your father-," Jimin smiled while shaking his head.

"It's ok. It's been 2 years since he died. Now I am the person bearing that whole burden on my fragile shoulders." Despite the hurt in his heart at the lack of his fatherly warmth, the blond made the environment lighter. 

"Well. How is Taehyung? And who is that person?" Pointing toward the room where the unknown male was with Taehyung, Jimin asked. 

"He is fine, I hope. And that person was Mrs. Kim's doctor. Doctor Jung Hoseok."

"Was? Where is his mother now?" Jimin inquired and Jin just sighed sadly.

"She died.. the night you met Taehyung, he lost her the same night. That thing broke down the hopes in him, that's why I brought him here."

"What?? The same day? He must be in too much pain because of two heartbreaks." Jimin mumbled the last line, feeling more than sad for the boy.

At the same moment, Hoseok came, and watching the doctor coming out, Jin told him to sit with them.

"He is fine. Just weakness and exhaustion. He will be fine when he wakes up." The doctor informed the two males. Jin nodded his head while Jimin sighed in relief.

"Oh yeah. Well, he is Jimin, the boy who saved Taehyung in the club.. and he is Doctor Hoseok." Jin introduced both males to each other, who smiled in contentment.

"I remember now.. how did he end up in that situation back then? I was too much in a hurry that I couldn't talk that night." Like something click in his mind, Jin demanded in curiosity.

Jimin felt hesitant to answer the truth, how could he compile that horrible talk? How that Junglebook insulted the boy in the middle of a damn rushy club. Moreover... what if Taehyung doesn't want to talk about that with anyone else?

Think Jimin.. think wisely.

He thought for a moment to answer like a professional, making sure neither to avoid the question looking suspicious nor spill the truth. Clearing his throat he started as two males were patiently waiting for his response.

"Um. Maybe he wasn't feeling good that night too. When I got him, he was already passed out.. so I just got him to the nearest hospital." He compiled the words with a smile, mentally patting his back for sounding too real.

"Oh, I see. This boy really needs to be pampered like a child." Jin huffed while the Hoseok guy sent daggers through his eyes to the blond... who quickly averted his gaze to the floor, feeling intimidated. 

"I think I should go now," Fidgeting with his fingers, Hoseok announced and left the house after receiving a call from the hospital.

"This guy is scary," Jimin muttered with a pout but Jin burst into laughter upon hearing that.

"I am sorry.. I mean to say that he is scary.. no.. I mean he looks scary. What am I saying!" Jimin blabbered, panicked that he spoke too much while Jin was enjoying that.

"You are too cute to be a CEO of a big company."

"See.. I am a rare type but your so-called brother never admits it." Hearing the words, sort of appreciation, the blond again puffed his cheeks cutely.

"How?" Jin stopped laughing when he heard the word brother for Taehyung.

"You told me that he looks like your brother and you are keeping him close to you besides the fact he is a worker in your restaurant.. isn't it clear that you see him as your brother?" The other remarked calmly and Jin again smiled. No doubt that blond was wise enough to get the hint.

"Not gonna lie, you are right. It's really nice to talk with you, Mr. Park."

"Jimin.. call me Jimin. Hyung." Jimin flashed a sweet smile and Jin quickly returned that.

"Sure.. you can call me Jin Hyung then." Jimin nodded his head while saluting, feigning obedience. 

"Yes, boss." A comfortable silence fell between them.

"You should visit my restaurant more, maybe Taehyung could get close to you and befriend you," Picking out a loose thread over his dress pant, Jin suggested and Jimin beamed in happiness.. that's all he wants to do after all.

"Why not.. but for now, I should leave." Getting up from his seat, Jimin straightened his clothes before taking a card out of his wallet. "This is my card, contact me, please. I will be happy to have someone like you as my Hyung. My driver is waiting outside.. take care." With a genuine smile, Jimin presented the card that Jin quickly accepted happily.

"Why not Jimin? You too take care. I hope to see you soon. Have a safe drive."

When Jimin left, Jin made his way to Taehyung's room to check up on him. He was sitting on the bed while leaning his head on the headboard. Jin just peeked through the door, returned to the maid, and told her to bring dinner for both in Taehyung's room.

He made him eat all food and Taehyung complied because Jin was angry as he didn't listen to him before, compensation was demanded, so~

•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•

Jungkook saw how that blond picked up Taehyung... and how the boy didn't protest a bit.

He just wants attention.

Jungkook thought in his mind but deep inside he was feeling jealous. It took him a lot of time to get closer to the brunet but how that blond managed to be close to him so easily?

Why his body was dragging him to him when he already ended everything, leaving him too much confused about his own behavior?

"Hey man.! Why are you spacing out like that? Did you already regret doing that?" He heard Jackson's voice but just responded with a death glare.

"No.. he won't regret it now. But maybe he does after watching this video... listen to this and hear your poisoned words, Jeon." Chanyeol grumbled, clicking on his phone and soon Jungkook's phone buzzed. He frowned while looking at the phone, a clear notification that he received a video from his friend. Giving a puzzled look to the other, he reluctantly opened the video but right in time he got the call from his father.

"I am coming to your house. Be there, right now."

With that, Mr. Jeon cut the call without giving him a second to say anything. A scowl formed on his face as he pulled back the phone from his ear.

"He sounds so mad." He muttered while leaving the restaurant, after excusing himself.

Unconsciously, his steps slowed when he walked past the chair where Taehyung was sitting before.. that pale face came into his eyes.

He was sick.. what happened to him? He looked totally messed up. Did i.. did I make him like that? He just wanted to be close to someone... but I broke his trust.

With that thought... a small wave of guilt rushed through his body, pinching his inside more as he dwelled on it, wanting his heart to remorse for whatever he did being heavily intoxicated (which he barely remembers), leaving him puzzled for why he had that bothersome feeling down there. 

He quickly shrugged that off, when that certain blond came into his mind, replacing his worried look with a frown in an instant.

"He is getting more attention now.. why should I care."

Even when those words left a bitter taste behind, stubbornly, he kept repeating them in his mind and drove back to his mansion.. forgetting to watch the video.
