The Magic Notebook (The Magical World - Book 1) (TaeKook)

Chapter 38

Taehyung's day was turning on a weird side. Seeing Jungkook was not something he'll do so soon. He was happy to see the younger. But Jungkook's condition wasn't good. The younger was a mess, crying, bad feeling, feeling chased, running away and appearing in Daegu from nowhere? Taehyung had a feeling that all of this doesn't have anything to do with Jungkook's anxiety but with their bond and magic, it has to be that reason.

Taehyung didn't have a lot of work to do, so he came back to Jungkook's table right when Jungkook started to talk to his family on the phone. "Noona?" Jungkook asked. There was a pause, Taehyung could only guess that the girl was shocked to hear that her little brother is no longer in Busan but in Daegu with Taehyung. "...No, I-I, Tae hyung is here with me. Can I talk with eomma or appa?" Jungkook looked stressed. As if he is going to break to shreds every moment. "Eomma?" Taehyung leaned in toward Jungkook that he could hear his mother talking, "oh my, Jungkook-i, where are you?"

"In Daegu," the younger answered, "I ran away, I'm sorry," he said, his voice cracked from a sob that threatened to come out. "I didn't mean to, I couldn't control it..." "It's okay, Jungkook-ie, just tell me that you are with someone you know, okay? I won't let you go back home alone." "I'm with Tae hyung. Are you all still in the party hall?" "Yes, I sent Junghyunie to look for you thirty minutes ago. How did you get to Daegu so fast, Kook?" "train..." Jungkook looked at Taehyung who just nodded to him. "I had this urge to... eomma, I don't know why I did this. I'm so sorry."

Taehyung saw the tears coming out again, the older took Jungkook's free hand and held it. "We are going to get back home soon," Nara said on the other side of the line, "and we will think about what to do. Stay with Taehyung, okay?" Jungkook nodded but then remembered that the woman couldn't see him, "y-yes," the shivery and hoarse voice of the younger was heard. Taehyung felt his heart shatter. "I don't want you to come alone, I think one of us will come to pick you up. But it'll have to be tomorrow, it's a two hours drive back and forth."

The hour was already six in the evening and the last twelfth-graders play was already started as the class started to get empty from customers. Taehyung was so busy in his work and in thinking about Jungkook that he didn't even consider the hour the younger one had appeared in his high school. "Can I talk to Taehyung?" Nara then said which made Taehyung look at Jungkook, again after looking at his class. "Yes," the younger said and gave Taehyung his phone, "my mother wants to talk to you." Taehyung took the phone and put it near his ear, "hello?"

"Hi Taehyung." the brunette smiled, "hello Nara-Yun-ssi." "I guess you know Jungkook for enough time to understand him." "Yes, I am. Don't worry, I'll take care of him." "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that this time I'll have to do something about the situation my son is getting into without control," Taehyung nodded. Jungkook looked at him with his big doe eyes, looking so innocent. Will this little boy have to go to therapy? Tae didn't want to think that.

"Is there anything else I can do?" the brunette asked. "Will it be okay for Jungkook-ie to stay at your place for the night? We will come to pick him up tomorrow morning or noon." "I don't mind if he'll stay here for a full day, Nara-Yun-ssi." Taehyung smiled at Jungkook who he assumed doesn't hear what his mother is saying. "I'm glad he has you, you make his days better, ask your mother and tell him to call me before going to sleep. I also need your home address." "Yes, sure." "and Taehyung?" "Yeah?" "I know my son is keeping things from me about his situations, I know you won't deliver me anything about what he tells you, but at least he has someone to talk to." Taehyung sure wanted to cry at the woman's words.
