Chapter 9

They were really annoying. "And how?" he asked exasperatedly, following the flow only to be left alone.

"Be yourself"

"I was myself and said 'your problem', Hyung"

"That was the nervous you. You have to relax and be your true self, you know, with your sense of humor and the things you like"

Jungkook scrunched his face disgusted with the idea, what the hell? He had suffered bullying before for admitting the things he liked, so he really didn't have a good opinion of that shit about being oneself with people he wasn't very close to as he was with his friends, and there were things he didn't even shared with Jisoo or others of his friends whom he considered close but not as close as Taehyung and Jimin.

"Hyung, that would push her away"

"Or she could like it," Taehyung put his hands in his pajama pockets as he stood up, Yeontan walked out of the room after that disrespect. "Girls surprise Jungkook, you think they would think silly to sneeze and then turn it into a tune but two weeks later she does it too and more cute. Women surprise"

Jungkook frowned, incredulous. "Jennie Noona did that?"

Taehyung lit up like a Christmas tree and pulled his phone out from his pajamas pocket. "I have recorded it and everything!" he said excitedly and scrolled quickly across the screen, almost bouncing. "You have to see it, look" he finally found what he was looking for and showed it to him.

Jennie was reading some sheets and then sneezing in the most cute way, apologizing instantly like singing a cute short song while Taehyung said 'Bless You'.

"Oh my god, she's going to kill you after this," Jungkook smiled, Jennie hated to show that side of herself that Taehyung brought to light so easily.

"Nah, she loves being cute, believe me," Taehyung said without worrying, well he could be like that, he was Jennie's weakness. "Returning to you, be your friend and try to be something else and if you can't, well, she's not the only girl in the world"

It was the truth, but: "I really like that girl, she's driving me crazy," he admitted for the first time out loud, letting out his fear because feeling that way terrified him.

"Then don't let her go, you idiot," it was so easy for him to say... although Taehyung had been hurt like him but he was giving his heart again, to the same girl even.

And then his phone buzzed on the desk, Jungkook turned around to take it and a selfie of his mother with him and Yuqi showed on the screen.

"Wow, our mothers are synchronized," he commented and replied. "Hi Mom"

(a/n: pay attention to this convo, it's here for something)

"Omma!" Taehyung yelled at her from the background and his mother laughed.

"Hello to you both," she said softly with a sweet hint, her voice was like Jungkook's, a little bit breathy and a lot more soft.

Once his work was done, Taehyung smiled in a way that made his cheeks very puffy and made him a sign to leave.

"He is leaving," he told his mother.

"How are you son?"

Like shit, but he wasn't going to tell that to his mother. "Very good, and you? Everything good at home?"

"Of course it is, your mother has everything under control," she said proudly.

"And you're good at it," he replied playfully.

"You're being mean," she complained though not very offended, after all, she accepted that she liked to have control over things, especially after going through so much because of his father's death.
