NOVEMBER 25TH

Taehyung view

After half an hour Taehyung still couldnt find namjoon and he was lost all by himself. It didnt help that the market place was becoming busier despite the sky already being dark.

And Taehyung hated  that It was becoming dark.

He whined when the first tear already fell, accomponied by many more and the boy just stood there in the middle of the path, crying loudly as families just walked straight past him.

he didnt want to give up but his legs were already feeling like jelly from running around for so long. He weakly began walking again, trying to wipe his tears that  blurred his vision as he tried to find his way back at least, knowing jeongguk would be back.

But no matter how many turns he took he was getting nowhere. He didnt bother asking anyone for directions because most people looked like they were rushing home themselves.

Dejectedly, Taehyung fell to a bench. He patted his chest that was heaving up and down from his cries, attempting to calm himself down but failed badly because all he could think about was him being alone for the rest of the night.

But then he looked up and through his weak sight he saw someones arm raised in the air as they held up a teddy bear. Taehyung hurriedly wiped his eyes, vision clearer as he realised that teddy bear was very similar to his.

He slowly got up, feet managing to guide him to the person who was meteres away. Their face couldnt be seen as it was hid by multiple other people but Taehyung didnt care. He pushed past others with all his strength, eyes remaining on the teddy bear.

His teddy bear.

And he gasped when he saw it was jeongguk holding it. The man was looking around, haven not noticed Taehyung yet. The said boy froze in his place and started crying out of joy, not knowing he would ever be this happy to see jeongguk.

Jeongguk heard the loud cries and immediately his head whipped to Taehyung who was now running to him.

"j-jeongguk." the boy whimpered loudly as he ran into jeongguk and hugged him tightly. He started sobbing into the mans chest.

Jeongguk just stood there, slowly lowering his arm. He didnt hug Taehyung back even though his body was screaming at him to do so. He just remained standing, letting Taehyung cry into his chest. Although he held no facial expression jeongguk was actually worried  for the younger boy.

Taehyung raised his head, sniffling loudly and his tears had stopped. He looked at jeongguk. "wheres namjoon hyung?" he asked with his sore throat.

Jeongguk view

Jeongguk didnt say anything and suddenly he was scowling. He roughly grabbed Taehyungs wrist in a tight hold and started dragging the boy out of the market, taking him back to the hotel.

Once they reached their room jeongguk shoved Taehyung inside angrily. The boy gasped softly when he almost tripped and he looked at a raging jeongguk with wide eyes.

"you just never listen do you?" jeongguk muttered lowly.

"j-jeongguk—"

"you just had to disobey me and go outside!" the older suddenly yelled, scaring Taehyung. He stormed up to the boy and Taehyung made himself smaller.

"i-i was bored. Im sorry." Taehyung whispered, looking down.

"if you're fucking bored you watch tv— you dont roam around a city you barely even know!" jeongguk shouted.

Taehyung didnt like how jeongguk was yelling in his face. He stayed quiet and didnt look up.

"ANSWER ME WHEN IM SPEAKING TO YOU!" the older roared.

Taehyung whined and looked up, already crying. "stop s-shouting at me!" he yelled back. "im sorry! Im sorry i didnt listen!" Taehyung started screaming, breaking down completely.

"look at me." jeongguk ordered, voice low.

Taehyung didnt listen.

"LOOK AT ME TAEHYUNG!" jeongguk furiously yelled and he grabbed taehyungs elbow as he pulled the boy against his chest.

Taehyung cried harder, body shaking. "i-i wanna go home! I hate you! I want to go home!" he yelled, hitting jeongguks chest as hard as he could. Jeongguk let go and the boy quickly backed away. "m-mommy." he cried. "i want my mom." taehyung fell down to the floor, sobs loud enough for the whole of busan to hear.

Jeongguk watched the boy, gulping. He felt his chest tightening as he kept on looking at taehyung. It was like his heart was being strangled with every sob that escaped taehyungs mouth, with every tear that fell from his eyes. His gaze was unreadable. (jeongguk didnt want to admit that it was probably regret he was feeling.)

He sighed and left the room, deciding it was best to leave the boy alone for now.

He came back an hour later to find taehyung leaning against the bed as he was sat on the floor asleep, legs outstretched in front of him. Jeongguk sighed and leaned down as he picked the boy up and layed him down on the bed gently even though he had to wake him up.

He stared at the sleeping brunette for a while and sat on the other side of the bed.

Why is it that i felt pain when Taehyung was crying for his mother earlier? Is it because i feel guilty? Jeongguk frowned.  I never feel guilty of my actions. Ive never felt regret either until what happened to Taehyung in the cell.

It just hurt seeing him like that and even i dont know Why it did. I want to be mean to him. I want to hurt him but not if it leaves me feeling strange and confused like this.

Jeongguk just groaned, hand slipping through his hair. He then looked at the time; it was already past nine pm and they had to get going since they didnt plan to stay another night here. Jeongguk nudged Taehyungs shoulder.

"Taehyung wake up. Its time to leave." jeongguk muttered. He saw Taehyung slowly open his eyes.

The boy was confused as he looked around for a second, eyes then landing on jeongguk. He got up without a word and from then on he avoided looking at jeongguk. The boy just silently packed his bag which didnt take long and waited for jeongguk to be done too as he stood by the door.

Jeongguk supressed a sigh and nodded his head knowingly, understanding Taehyungs behaviour.

And again his chest was hurting. He didnt like Taehyung being sad and moody.

But he pushed that feeling away.

The four hours in the car felt like a whole day.

When they reached jeongguks mansion Taehyung immediately rushed to his room upstairs, not even greeting seokjin and jeongguk just went straight to his room too, not going to his office like he always did.

Yoongi had just walked through the door and seokjin appeared from the sitting area. They both looked at where Taehyung and jeongguk were previously standing and then turned to eachother with a weird look.

"what on earth was that all about?" seokjin asked.

"maybe they did it?" Yoongi said. Seokjin gasped.

"they would never!" he said in horror.

"didnt you hear? They shared a room." Yoongi raised his brows suggestingly.

Seokjin glared. "doesnt mean they did it."

"whatever." Yoongi shrugged before walking off.
