Chapter 82 - Examination

AT TAE'S PLACE

Tae just stared at the two of them. 

He couldn't believe his ears. 

Jungkook couldn't really be leaving, could he? Not like this. Not with him.

"Kookie?" Tae asked pleadingly.

"Jungkook's coming with me. I'm his family after all. His only family. He's going home." his dad said, wrapping his arm protectively around Jungkook's shoulders, ready to lead him away.

Tae reached out and grabbed Jungkook's hand, while looking his dad in the eyes.

"Jungkook's home is here with me. I am his family. I am his family now." Tae said in a loud voice, sounding much more confident than he actually felt.

At the same time he stroke Jungkook's hand with his fingers softly. 

The touch of Tae's hand somehow finally managed to break Jungkook's dad's power over him.

Jungkook snapped back to reality. He looked at Tae and then at his dad.

Tae stood just in front of him, maybe half a meter away, now meeting Jungkook's gaze with a pleading look. 

Suddenly Jungkook seemed to grasp what was going on. He violently shook his dad's arm off his shoulder and took a step towards Tae. 

Tae responded to his move immediately and pulled Jungkook closer by the hand. When Jungkook was close enough Tae let go of his hand and opened his arms for his boyfriend.

Jungkook threw himself into Tae's embrace and Tae closed his arms around him.

"Tae... please make him go away." Jungkook whispered against his boyfriend's shoulder, his back against his dad.

Tae fixed his gaze at Jungkook's dad and, holding one arm around Jungkook protectively, he brought his phone out of his pocket. 

He noticed that the glass was broken, but it still worked. He punched a few buttons and put it to his ear.

Jungkook's dad stood there confused, but tried to keep his composure. 

He hadn't given up the fight about Jungkook yet.

"Jungkook, think about your mother, she wouldn't want this life for you." Jungkook's dad said, trying to regain his power over his son.

But Jungkook moved even closer to Tae and looked at his dad, now defiant.

"She would have wanted for me to be happy." Jungkook said, first in a low voice, but then he repeated it in a louder voice. "My mother would have wanted for me to be happy."

His dad shook his head in disappointment.

Tae's phone call now reached its recipient.

"Hello sir, my name is Kim Taehyung. We are in need of a police to come to our place quickly, there has been an attack." Tae said into his phone.

He gave their address and put the phone back in his pocket. While talking Tae had carefully shifted his and Jungkook's position so they stood in front of the exit, blocking Jungkook's dad's way out. 

"Jungkook, you wouldn't give me up to the police, I know you wouldn't." his dad said in his sweetest voice, trying to persuade his son to let him get out. 

Jungkook didn't say anything and Tae was quiet, too, his eyes fixed on Jungkook's dad in case he tried a violent escape.

"Jungkook, your mother, she would not have let this happen, she wouldn't have let the police take me." his dad said.
