Chapter 5: Meet the Family

Taehyung couldn't believe seeing how Jungkook's place. He can't help but form his mouth agape. He didn't expect that Jungkook will have a mansion.

“Close your mouth, bugs will come in your mouth.” Jungkook told him after coming out of the car.

“This place is amazing, Jungkook.” Taehyung said with his eyes gleaming.

“Let's get inside” Jungkook motioned to him by patting his back.

Taehyung followed Jungkook inside the house. He can't help but roam his eyes around, seeing beautiful and new stuff inside. And his eyes landed on a woman who was carrying a child in the kitchen. She seemed to be helping her child to drink water. The kid's eyes looked like Jungkook, but his other appearance was from his mother.

“Is that your family, Jungkook?” Taehyung excitedly asked while looking at them.

Jungkook didn't respond; however, Taehyung pay no mind and ran towards them with a big smile on his face. His smile faded away when he saw bruises on the kid's arms.

“Oh, what happened to you? Where did you get these bruises?” Taehyung asked with a hint of worry in his tone.

The kid just snuggled his face on Ilene's chest. He appeared to be frightened because he was trembling while hugging his mother.

“It's nothing, he got them because he fell from the stairs.” Ilene told him a complete lie.

She couldn't tell the truth because Jungkook was glaring at her. However, Taehyung knew it was a lie. There's no way those bruises were because of a fall.

“I see, next time, be careful, okay? Don't be scared of me, I'm a friend of your father, that means, I'm your uncle.” Taehyung softly talked to the kid, who was still hiding his face on his mother's chest.

“I'm sorry for his attitude, he is uncomfortable with a stranger, that's why he won't respond to you. I hope you understand.” Ilene uttered.

“It's okay, I understand.” Taehyung gave her a smile.

“We'll get going now, Gyu must be tired at this moment.” Ilene excused and carried Gyu.

“Do you need help? I could carry him.” Taehyung inquired.

“Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for your offer.” Ilene smiled faintly and went upstairs.

Taehyung watched them disappear from his sight. He let out a sigh, he couldn't help but feel sad because he can feel that there was something wrong with them. He couldn't tell what is it, but the atmosphere was odd.

“We should take a rest, Hyung, I'm sure you are exhausted coming here.” Jungkook held his wrist and pulled him upstairs.

They went inside the room, just by the design, Taehyung can tell that this room was Jungkook. This is the room he saw when Jungkook video calls him.

“Are you going to take a shower first?” Jungkook asked him while rummaging through the cabinet.

“I would love to, but I don't have spare clothes.” Taehyung sighed.

“Here, you can wear this one.” Jungkook gave him a pair of pajamas and Taehyung took them.

“Thank you.” Taehyung smiled.

“You can take a shower there, just call me if you need something else.” Jungkook pointed to the bathroom door.

Taehyung hummed in response and went inside the bathroom. The bathroom was also spacious, it looked like his room in Daegu. Seriously, how rich his best friend is?

Is this the life of living in Seoul? It felt astonishing. He should have gone to Seoul the moment Jungkook went here. He must have been living a luxurious life too, like his best friend.

Once he was done, he went out of the bathroom with a towel on his head. He was drying his hair while Jungkook was sitting on the bed with a laptop on his legs.

“Are you done?” Jungkook inquired, looking at him.

“Yeah, just drying my hair, so I can sleep.” Taehyung responded.

“Come here and take a sit, I'll help you dry your hair.” Jungkook removed the laptop from his legs and patted the bed.

Taehyung did what Jungkook said and sat down on the bed with Jungkook behind him, drying his hair with the hair dryer.

“Jungkook, are they okay?” Taehyung started to ask a question.

“Who?” Jungkook responded with a question.

“Your partner and your son, they seemed to have a problem.” Taehyung replied.

“Don't mind them, they're okay?” Jungkook was done drying Taehyung's hair.

Taehyung turned around and looked at Jungkook.

“Are you sure about that? I mean, your son, he got many bruises on his arms, Jungkook.” Taehyung retorted.

“Like what I said, don't worry about them, they are okay.” Jungkook assured.

“I don't think so, Jungkook, do you think your son got bullied at his school? Or, maybe, someone was hurting him.” Taehyung stated.

Jungkook cupped Taehyung's cheeks and pecked the tip of his nose.

“Baby, that's not going to happen. Besides, I'm sure that woman was taking care of that kid. Don't stress yourself about them, just take a rest, okay?” Jungkook smiled.

“Okay” Taehyung just sighed.

Maybe, Jungkook was right, but Taehyung doesn't feel at ease.

“Let's take a sleep now, hm.” Jungkook lay down on the bed.

“Here? With you?” Taehyung inquired.

“Yes, why? Do you have a problem with that? We used to sleep together back then.” Jungkook said.

“Yeah, you had a partner, Jungkook. Aren't you supposed to sleep with her? And why are you two have separated rooms? Isn't that weird?” Taehyung asked.

He gasped when Jungkook pulled him to lie down on the bed.

“You asked too many questions, baby. Please keep in mind that what happened between me and her was just a mistake. I don't love her, Hyung. She doesn't have a place in my heart. I would rather choose to be with you than to be with her.” Jungkook giggled.

“That so mean, Jungkook, why do you speak as if it were only her fault? Whether you deny it or not, you are part of that mistake. You should have been careful of your action, so nothing of this happened.” Taehyung told him.

“Yeah, whatever you say, now, can you please stop talking about her? We're here to sleep, not to talk nonsense. I missed you so much, Taehyung, I only want to think about you.” Jungkook stated.

“Fine.” Taehyung sighed.

Jungkook snuggled his face into the crook of Taehyung's neck and hugged him tightly. He was hiding his irritated face, he disliked how Taehyung kept talking about that stupid girl. He couldn't help but feel jealous, he should probably get rid of them as soon as possible, so he could only have Taehyung in his life.
