Taehyung gently pushes the front door open, hearing the familiar silence of the familiar house. The times he has entered this building, Kai and Jennie are usually never home, especially since they work a lot.
Always working.
Just like his father use to be doing all the time.
"Who lives in here?"
Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook, who's moving his eyes around the broad living room, slightly parting his lips in awe to how big the house appears from the inside. Meanwhile, Taehyung is already use to it.
Has grown to dislike it very much actually.
"My fake family," Taehyung says simply and closes the door, approaching the staircase, "Come."
Jungkook slowly follows Taehyung up the grand staircase, his fascination not leaving his orbs as he looks around the photographs hanged up against the wall.
Anyone could tell the photographs of this couple is completely fake.
No wonder Taehyung said fake family.
"Jungkook, can I ask you something?" Taehyung asks hesitantly, arriving to the second floor and waits for the other man, who's still gawking around but turns to give Taehyung his full attention once he heard the other call for him.
"Of course," Jungkook replies surely, proceeding to follow Taehyung down the long narrow hallway with the cafe colored walls and red carpet down the middle.
Wow this house is freaking huge.
Taehyung licks his lips nervously as he approaches a certain wooden door, "How much do you remember, exactly?"
The moment the pair reaches the door, Jungkook furrowing his eyebrows in confusion, thinking in his mind space for a moment before answering, "Bits and pieces..... Not like an actual whole picture."
Well, let's hope this helps you remember.
Taehyung grips the door handle but doesn't open the door, only moves his eyes back to Jungkook, who's already looking at him with a slight anticipation behind his eyes to Taehyung's sudden pleading ones.
"I'm so sorry," The brunette whispers, his eyes full of sorrow with the the guilt weighing more in his chest.
He has to do this.
It can't continue on much longer.
Jungkook perks an eyebrow with a slow smile twinkling his lips, "You haven't done anything wrong. You shouldn't be apologizing to me."
Right....
Taehyung only grimaces his lips and creaks opens the door. The room is completely dark, not showing anything at all from the inside, but then Taehyung flickers the light switch on.
Jungkook's eyes completely widen, much more than how they were earlier.
There, on a well kept bed, laid a tiny boy with ruffled brown hair. A tube is attached to his arm, connected to an IV right beside him. A heart monitor also beeps to the other side, steady and at a constant rate.
His heart beat.
For some reason Jungkook felt pulled to the boy, slowly approaching him with his puzzled doe eyes.
He looks so familiar....
Taehyung only glances between the two boys, nervously biting down his bottom lip in anxiety. Either this is the moment Jungkook remembers everything or doesn't remember anything at all, and the suspense is killing him.
Jungkook sits down on the space beside the motionless boy on the bed, keeping a distance away regardless as he studies the boy's small features before turning to Taehyung.
"Who is he?"
The question alone made Taehyung want to rip his heart out and stomp it constantly on the ground. He hopes Jungkook seeing him will give a little clarity to his fuzzy mind, but that's definitely not the case.
"His name is Yeosang, and he's a very special boy," Taehyung answers softly, eyes focused on the younger boy, "Who has looked up to you for many years."
Jungkook still remains confused as he leans in on the boy's face, taking in how he would fidget from time to time or move his eyes from under his eyelids.
"What happened to him?" Jungkook whispered, feeling his heart thumping painfully against his chest and the need to touch this boy consumes him, but also the haunting nightmares that are whispering by his ear.
Not yet, it's too soon.
Taehyung gulps thickly and blinks a few times to prepare his next words, "I stabbed him."
To this Jungkook whirls his head, a shocked look in his eyes, "What? Taehyung, he's just a kid-"
"I know," Taehyung interjects, his guilt overweighing him down even more to the sensitive look behind Jungkook's eyes, "Look, it's something you won't understand now, but maybe eventually you will. Okay? Just keep all of this in mind when the day comes, I can take you here with no problem."
And he means it.
The minute Jungkook remembers and wishes to come here, he will do it.
No more hiding.
The have a common enemy and it shouldn't be each other.
Jungkook doesn't say anything, only lets his eyes fall and rests back to the boy, a small smile forming his lips, "Be strong little warrior, so you can be reunited with your family again," Jungkook says optimistically, slowly standing to his feet, letting another lingering look to fill his eyes before he walks back to Taehyung.
"Let's give him time to rest. We have a king cockroach to find," Jungkook whispers, sending the other a weak smile and walks pasts him and out the door.
Taehyung lets his eyes linger a little longer to Yeosang's small body and grips the door handle.
"He'll be back soon, I promise."
