In Between || Taejinkook

Twenty-two

Instead of being thrilled all over for getting his ticket, he deems that he deserves a punishment for not completing a fucking worthless glider for the sake of your happiness. You have to remind him you're his father and you're by his side every now and then.

I just can't grasp why he thinks and acts like you're gonna leave him one of these days. And I also don't understand why your words never relieve him as much as they should.

Do you know the mere meaning of guilt because at the time being, it sounds like I'm the one who feel that way for someone that I almost know nothing about what caused his deep sorrow."

The Omega didn't realize how much of hidden burdens he was shouldering alone until that precise moment. The funny part was that it still wasn't half of them, however it dangerously satisfied him. His breathing got uneven due to the sheer excitement surging from his insides to his limbs, making him feel like he was standing on a white cotton cloud.

Quietness shifted its place, and it was Taehyung's turn to be as talkative as a stone could be. The Alpha kept glaring at him with narrowed eyes, but behind that furious gaze, Jin could definitely read the unpleasant feeling of facing a bitter reality for one more time again as he was certain the other knew all of his present outburst a long time ago.

"If you are so worried over Hyun-su's condition, why don't you kidnap him from me then, hmm Seokjin?!"

Jin couldn't believe his ears for quite a while, but then after recovering from the loud snort of pure disbelief, he didn't back off from the intense conversation as he uttered in a patronizing tone for the first time in his pathetic life, "I might as well have to do that if this mansion keeps being this fucking mansion!"

"What exactly can you do for Su? Can you really fill that empty place for my son?" The way the Alpha put an overly powerful stress on the words his son angered the Omega even more than what he would see in himself. Thankful to any sort of magic, Jin had answers to those challanging questions.

"I don't know about the empty places of the past, but I know I can at least show him a glimpse of happiness at his present.

I can soothe him instead of all of you because during my miserable time with you in this huge prison, I'm growing a very unexpected feeling of liking for Hyun-su like he's my own.

I don't think you believe me and honestly I don't care, either. But, I'm genuinely concerned for Su, and I want him to get all he wants."

It didn't matter if he wasn't the person who should have the words or the view, even within himself. What mattered was just him and his restless heart. Despite his persistent attitude for the existing time, he couldn't help but gasp involuntarily upon hearing the next question.

"How can you give him those when you lack them all?"

Taehyung didn't smile or make fun of him for his obvious shocked expression. Not only a small sign of any of those, but there was also a mild, disgusting sympathy that told the Omega the tender hint.

"I'm doing and giving all in me to provide all you sincerely want for Su, but I'm just lacking.

I don't wanna stay as that father, but when so many things, on top of them my love, the person who can make most of them right can't be with me in a serious relationship, I can't be highly qualified for my son. I can't be the dad, and there's not a single night I put my head on that damn pillow and drown in my guilt for him. So, stop stabbing my wounded heart.

A piece of advice from me, Seokjin! If you don't know anything about a subject, don't jump on it with your wrong judgments."

"Then let me know. Maybe I could be a help. Even if it can change a feeble part of Su, you, and Jungkook's life, I'm willing to bear and do all in my power because whether I want you or not, you are my family. And thanks to my dad's wicked actions, I can't switch you with anyone else."

Jin continued for he could see the brightness of the other's eyes indicating that his tears started their betrayal, and once he could break the mould of Alpha in Taehyung, he could make him speak his real words.

That was the reason as to why he took brave steps closer to his husband and held his wrist, murmuring, "Please, Taehyung!"

The Alpha shut his eyes tight, letting the floods of tears slide over his cheeks. Moments went by with Taehyung crying silently and Jin rubbing his wrist softly.

When the Alpha opened his eyes, the vulnerability in those beautiful irises almost had the Omega instincts of Jin weak and weeping for the unknown grief.

Taehyung pulled his wrist from his hold gently, wiping his tears with both of his hands. When he made sure his face wasn't damp with them and his voice not hoarse, he spoke in a serious tone, his usual tone, "I'd like you to not know and this is only my appreciation for your kind manner towards all of us, especially Su."

And with those shallow yet full of mystery words, the Omega was left once more with his aching thoughts and wrong judgments!

Let me promise something: I'm busy with my studies, but that doesn't stop me from finishing my story. Updates are not fast, but they're not gone!

One thing else! Some of you brought up the theory of Hyun-su being Jungkook's son. He is not. Jungkook is 21, Su 10. That would mean Jk had him when he was 11?! Also, I mentioned Su's resemblance to Taehyung many of times.
