Taehyung Pov

Sighing, I put my key into the lock and opened the door before entering the small apartment, which was a small storeroom compared to Jeongguk's mansion. "Sweety?", my mother came out of the kitchen into the hallway and wiped her hands on her flowered apron before taking me in her arms and holding me tightly. But why did I suddenly feel the need to be hugged by Jeongguk? "Where were you?! Yoongi and Jimin were here tonight, asking me where you are! We were so worried about you", my mother looked me in the face, worried and seemed relieved that I was home safe and sound.

That's right. I hadn't told Jimin and Yoongi where I was...

At least Jeongguk took me in instead of an old pervert..., I thought to myself, smiled crooked and allowed lots of kisses on my cheek from my mother. Even though I had told my mother that I was slowly becoming a big boy and this was more than embarrassing, I didn't complain about it. I couldn't blame her, after all I was the only child of my parents who had survived because my mother had two miscarriages. Actually, I would have had a sister and a brother...

No wonder why they were so worried and caring.

"I...I'm fine," I assured her and let her drag me into the kitchen, where she pressed me onto a chair and placed a plate full of Jajangmyeon in front of me on the table so I could eat something. My father was apparently not there, otherwise he would have come to me like my Mommy and hugged me. "But I still want to know where you were, sweetheart! I couldn't even close my eyes because I almost died of worry", she asked and took my little hand in hers. I immediately bit my lips and said nothing at first. I couldn't tell her that I had stayed with Jeongguk and slept with him in a bed.

My parents knew I was afraid of Jeongguk and always gave me a sympathetic ear when I was sad about how he had treated me. Telling her now that I had spent the night with him wasn't an option. So I thought about what to say to her that sounded halfway credible. "Ehm... I...", I started and breathed briefly to find a suitable lie. Expectingly, my mother looked me in the face. Until I had finally found an excuse:

"I spent the night with my girlfriend!"
