YOUR VOICE [vkook]

10: preparations

on Thursday Taehyung was smiling wide as he walked through the street his school bag over his shoulders. His eyes trying their hardest to make out the shapes in the sunlight. He havent run into anything today, and he would like to keep it that way. Finally a day without scratches or bruises from walking into walls or lantern poles.

The brunet boy entered the store on the corner nearby the dorms and waited untill his blind eyes adjusted to the sudden disappearance of the bright sunlight. Everything was black for him now. But slowly shades of lighter grey appeared these must be shelves.

He didnt know the layout of this store at all so he searched around for the front desk. His steps cautious and right hand feeling forward in an attempt to prevent himself from walking into something.

"excuse me, can i help you?" a kind voice asked him. Taehyung stopped walking and turned his head searching for the person. He look way past the tall man but the worker didnt mind.

"yes, i am looking for flowers do you have them?" Taehyung asked smiling. the worked chuckled at the boy who he supposed was blind seeing the way he looked a other direction and his eyes moved around searching for a point to look at.

"of course, shall i walk you to it?" The worked said. taehyung nodded and let the man guide him to the corner where he sold a few kind of flowers. this store sold almost a bit of everything. it was like a family mart you saw next to the roads. 

"What kinds do you have?"taehyung asked.

"we have roses, sunflowers, freesia-"

"could i have a rose please, i think that one will be good" Taehyung said. he wasnt sure which one Jungkook would like but a rose was mostly always a good choice right? 

"Okay do you have a preferred color?"

"color, do you have a choice?"

"Yes, we have red, pink, yellow and orange"

"I would like a orange one, i think that will looks pretty"

"Okay, it these anything else i can help you with?"

"no i think thats it" Taehyung said and followed the worked to the counter. 

"I have seen you come here a lot but i never dared to ask, are you blind?"

"Yes i am" Taehyung said he always sighed a bit when someone asked him this, he got asked this often. he didn't want to be blind so it hurted when he had t say yes. It made him feel so different and distant form others.

"Ah i thought so, but its kay dont hesitate to ask help when you come here again, i work he the most days of the week" The worked said sounding cheerful. taehyung felt at ease when the man reacted so kindly.

"May i know your name? for the next time i visit" the brunet asked somewhat looking at the man.

"my name is Seokjin"

"Seokjin, thank you" the boy said and accepted the rose after paying it. "bye bye"

"bye!" Seokjin said and watched the blind boy leave his store. 

-

"I have everything ready. i cant wait!" taehyung said to his friend. Jimin chuckled.

"You are definetly in love with him, look at you" he said.

"Well...yes i am." taehyung said blushing a bit. "i have looked forward all week now"

"I know, trust me it didnt miss my ears or eyes. you are talking about it way topo much" 

"dont make it sound like you dont talk about your Sugarcube boy all day too"

"S-sugarcube. stop making me feel embarrassed" jimin said. Taehyung had heard him say it to Yoongi once and he wouldn't stop teasing him about it.

"I miss you little sugarcube" Taehyung mimicked Jimin's voice. 

"aish Tae!!" the bubblegum haired said and threw a pillow at his blind friend hitting his face. The brunet fell back on the bed form the hit and laughed.

"Its rude throwing things at a b,ind oerson jimin. im calling the cops"

"you wouldnt dare" jimin chuckled. "and dinner is ready so get your ass frorm the bed and come sit"

"alight alright"

 -

"Is this good? or should i go with this?" Jungkook asked Namjoon wo sat on the end of his bed he was forced to judge jungkooks outfit for tomorrow.

"Kook, he is blind. it dosnt matter what you wear"

"I want to look good at his side. others can see us. I cant show up in a pyjama" Jungkook said. "now white or blue?"

"i would go with blue"

"okay, white it is. thanks"

"wha-" Namjoon frowned. "why you ask for my opinion when you wont accept it!"

"I like white more"

"you just wasted ten minutes of my time"

"i know"

"You are younger, dont be like that to your older brother Jeon Jungkook" the older said squinting his eyes.

"Are you gonna tell mom or what?"

"if you keep this act imma call dad if you want that" Namjoon said squinting his eyes. it always felt like these two didnt grow up they kept their bickering even now they were in thier tqwenties already.

"Dad.....dont fucking dare to0 talk about him" Jungkook hissed at his brother. "i dont have a father.

"He is your father, you he made you just as much as mom."

"He is NOT a father figure. that you like him i cant help that. you were the most liked son to him after all" Jungkook said and threw the shirt on his bed angrily. "Get out"

"dont be like this Jungkook"

"Get out Joon"

"Fine" Namjoon sighed and left the room. As soon the door was shut Jungkook sat on the bed. He hated his father. He only felt love and care for his mother. someone who did care for him. someone who loved him and his brother equally. Unlike his father. 

His father wasnt a good person. not to Jungkook not to his mother. It was one of the reasons he decided to start a boxing sport. he wanted to grow strong to be able to protect the ones he loved. His father was a bad man to his mother and when Jungkook stand up for her going against his father his father had hit him. It made Jungkook angry. Namjoon never got in trouble with their father. he was the older and more loved one. It made Jungkook angry, not and Namjoon directly but everything else. He didnt understand why Namjoon  was more loved. 
But now things were calm. His father was forbidden to come near his mother ever again. he had to move away from them. So Jungkook was happy things finnaly calmed down to normal.  He could bond with Namjoon again and feel like brothers. 

He was happy with his life now. and he didnt want it to be ruined by talking about their father. It made him angry easily. bringing back memories he want to forget. He needed to boost up his mood. so he did the first thing that came to his mind.

call Taehyung.
