Chapter 24: Issues and Tissues
Taehyung end the call and place his phone on the night stand. He shake his head and join the younger on the bed, hugging him tightly.
"Who's that, hyung?"
"Wrong number." He smile softly and Jungkook let it pass, nuzzling on the elder's chest.
Taehyung sigh in content, but the phone call still bug his head, making it hard for him to fall asleep.
Hoseok scoff when he saw the dark circles under Taehyung's eyes. Jungkook even notice it and he's worried that he did something wrong. Taehyung grab the cup of coffee Jin prepared for him, his eyes never leaving his phone. Namjoon notice the awkward slence and he stare at his step-brother, staring at Taehyung with a little pout on his lips.
"What's up, Tae?" Yoongi ask, breaking the silence. Taehyung hums, putting his phone down the table but his eyes still remain on the device.
"Kim fucking Taehyung, I'm talking to you!" Yoongi huffs, immediately gaining the said boy's attention and he obviously look like he's lost.
"W-What?"
"Tae, what's wrong?" Jin calmly ask. Something is bothering his cousin for sure.
"Nothi-" His phone vibrate and the familiar number appears on the screen once again. He hesitantly reach for his phone, the six other boys eyeing him as he answer the call.
"What do you want with Jungkook?"
Jungkook's eyes widen. He's confused and lost, so does the other boys.
"Please listen, Mr Kim. I'm Jeon Moon Ji, his aunt. His mother, Jungkook's real mother is suffering and she wants to meet Jungkook once... Before she left-"
Taehyung's eyebrows furrowed, "And what? Make his life miserable once again? Sorry but I'm so done with the drama and shits."
"Please let me borrow him for a week. She need him right now."
Taehyung laugh bitterly, "Do you think he didn't need her before? But guess what? She left him and that's bullshit. Now please stop bothering me-"
"Do you want Jungkook's mother to die without seeing his son? Don't you think your dad wants to see you before he die? And what if you make a big mistake and you're going to die now and you won't be able to see the face of the person that makes you alive, do you want that? Of course you want to see Jungkook's face because you made a shitty mistake and now you just want forgiveness and see his face for the last time and that's what his mom is feeling right now. Taehyung, everybody deserve a second chance. And this is her second chance, probably last so please... Just for a week."
Preach. He growl through his gritted teeth. Jungkook grab his hand on the table and play with his fingers, calming Taehyung a little. He stare down at their hands then to Jungkook's worried face. He sigh and close his eyes before speaking.
"Vacation. Message me where and when."
He heard the female on the other line sob. He don't want to hear more so he end the call, everyone staring at him and expecting an explanation.
"Jungkook's aunt." He simply stated but he can feel Jungkook's body tenses.
"What does she want?" Namjoon ask, leaning his body forward. He place both of his hand on the table.
Taehyung lower his head and tighten his grip on Jungkook's hand. "She said Jungkook's mom wants to see him for the last time. She's dying, I guess. So she ask me if she could borrow him for a week."
"And?"
"I said yes."
"But hyung..."
Gently smiling down, he said, "You have me."
Taehyung and Jungkook walk side by side on the countryside. They were walking toward the place where Jungkook's mom lives. He nervously bit his lower lip, which the elder notice. On the side of the road, he notice an old lady selling some flowers. He quickly left the younger's side and walk towards the old lady. Jungkook eyed his lover who quickly came back, a bouquet of daisies on his hand.
"What's that?"
Taehyung grins, "Daisies, duh."
Jungkook playfully rolls his eyes and walk ahead, pulling his baggage with him. The elder chuckles and pull something from his coat.
"Here." He put the black notebook in his baggage. The younger stop walking so Taehyung take the opportunity to place a daisy on his ears.
"Instead of counting the days until you see me again, everyday, pluck one petals until one week passes by. And if you ever miss me, read one page on the notebook I give you every night. It's a countryside so expect a low signal." Taehyung pouts. Jungkook's face heat up. God, what did I do in my past life that I receive a blessing named Kim Taehyung.
"I love you hyung. A lot." Taehyung winks and whisper, "I know you do."
Jungkook awkwardly sat beside the very skinny old woman. Her aunt left him alone with his... uhm, mom.
"Jungkook...? Is that you?" The woman quietly spoke. Jungkook nods his head and he tried his best not to flinch when the woman reaches for his hands, holding it with his own cold hand.
"I'm sorry." She sobs, her other hand flying to her mouth, trying to muffle her cries.
"I should've not left you before but..."
Jungkook bite his tongue inside his mouth. He feels like he'll be having a mental breakdown any minute.
"Years ago, I..." She started, "I don't know what to do. Your father left me when he found out I'm pregnant. At first he just said that he'll leave me if I don't get rid of you. But, Jungkook, I choose to save you. So he left me, but I... I just..."
"You love him so much you decided to leave me."
"Yes, I thought we'll be fine after I did that. But no, he beats me everyday. He didn't love me anymore. He uses my body to pleasure him. He'll drag me to his room and lock the door, even if I don't like to do it, he'll have his way. He's a jerk." His mom hiccups. He don't know why but suddenly Taehyung enter his mind. No, Taehyung won't do that.
"After 2 years of staying by his side, he finally decided to diss me and went to his bitches. He left me to starve to death. Luckily, your aunt pays me a visit, telling me she'll help me out. So she helpt me escape. We even went to the orphanage where I left you, but unfortunately they said they didn't know if you survive from the recent accident. Then it hit me, the orphanage were once in news, saying there's a large fire burning down the place. So we thought you're... dead."
Jungkook nods, telling her to go on.
"After 4 years, your father came to my front door, begging. He said he'll change, he said he'll take care of me. But I was a fool who believed his words. I live with him once again, but in the end, he keeps on doing the same thing. He even impregnate a girl and diss her after he found out. Another year passed and I just.. I can't."
"Your aunt and I tried searching for help until we stumble with Kim Jiyeon. She's a very bright woman, she even help me file a case against your father. She also help me find you. I envy her and her family. She have a very beautiful and smart son, his name is Kim Taehyung." Jungkook's head snap. His hyung?
"Then one day, your escaped from the prisons and make a scene in front of Kim's office. Taehyung's dad hurriedly make his way to his office, it's winter and the road are slippery. He get caught in an accident. The bridge near Taehyung's house, yeah. All along it's my fault why Taehyung's life is miserable." Jungkook's heart beat faster. Where he first saw me, the bridge!
"The funny thing is, Taehyung once said that he'll find you and take care of you. I don't even think that he remember me, or your name." His mom bitterly laughs.
"When Jiyeon found out what happen to her husband, she's gone crazy. To the point he bring his son to a convenience store and bought him his favorite stuff, them she.." She sigh deeply, "She left Taehyung and run towards the road, where a car hit her so hard that it kills her, in front of his son."
Jungkook nods. Yep, he clearly remember the second time they met.
"I thought I'll never find you again, until I heard that a certain Kim Taehyung appears on TV, he was said to legally adopt a guy almost the age as his. And it was you. We tried to contact him and luckily, we found a way to contact him and here you are."
Jungkook nods. Wow, he was involve in Taehyung's life to begin with.
Jungkook plop down his bed. He close his eyes and he feel so lonely. He miss Taehyung's bed. His bed doesn't smell like Taehyung. Speaking of Taehyung...
He rush to where he left his baggage and open it, revealing the black notebook his lover put earlier. He flip it open and he smile when he saw the almost-unreadable note:
Kookie! I missed you already, you know that? :c I wish I could stay there with you but I'm pretty busy. Eat your meals and don't worry too much. I'll just flirt with Hoseok for a while ;D You know that I love you right? Go to bed early and don't you ever talk to stranger. Love you, wifey~
-lots of love from hubby!
Jungkook grins and flip onto another page:
NO CHEATING! I TOLD YOU ONE PAGE A DAY! D:
He can't stop laughing, seriously this hyung....
He place the daisy and the notebook on his study table. His smile turn into frown.
Hyung, I wish I could hug you right now.
