     𝕋he little moment between the two young boys was interrupted by a feminine voice calling for taehyung. jungkook jumped out of the window, clumsily running away after kissing him quickly one last time, the blond cursing internally for being interrupted while going down the stairs.

"what do you need, mom?" he asked, but paused his steps when he saw his parents' serious expression. "w-what? i haven't done anything bad recently-"

"sit down, please." his mother, kwan, pleaded. he nodded, swallowing his nervousness and sitting in front of his parents. "jungkook's mom called us."

that's it. he felt how the air escaped his lounges and his mouth going dry, his eyes welling up in shock and sadness. "i-"

"listen." she sighed, looking at her son with worry. "you know we don't have a problem with you liking boys, you can like whatever you want and we'll still love you. and jungkook is a nice guy, but... the boy's mother doesn't think as we do. you know that, right?"

taehyung nodded, tears starting to fall down his cheeks. he couldn't help it, because he was thinking about it lately. jungkook's mother finding out about them terrified him and it was finally happening.

"i like him so much, mom." he whispered with a broken voice, his mother cooing and standing up to hug her son, who cried in her shoulder, letting all his sadness out.

"there has to be a way for you two to be together." his dad said, caressing his son's hair with care.

"you heard jieun's voice, darling. she was pissed." his mother said, shaking her head, feeling sad too about her son's complicated love.

"she doesn't have the right to decide jungkook's love life." taehyung muttered, hugging his mother closely, actually missing the feeling of her arms around him. he was so busy living the rebel life, he forgot how warm and comforting it was being with his parents. "i want to help him, mom."

"i know baby, but... our opinions don't really matter to her." she said, caressing her son's back. after minutes of him spilling all his tears out, she broke the hug to look at him with a reassuring smile. "we'll try to gain some time so you can hang out with him, okay?"

taehyung nodded, cleaning his own tears with the back of his hand. "thank you, mom and dad. sorry for being a burden, by the way."

"you're not a burden, tae. we all have a rebel phase, it's okay." she laughed softly, her husband nodding in agreement.

"your mother was a rebel without a cause too." he said, the woman hitting his arm softly, taehyung arching his eyebrows in disbelief.

"mom, seriously?"

"that's not the point." she dismissed the topic, standing up from the couch and reaching out for her phone. "we'll be out for dinner tomorrow, i'll call jieun to convince her to not talk to jungkook about the topic yet. you can invite him if you want." she smiled, grabbing her phone and walking out of the room, being followed by her husband.

taehyung sighed, looking at the roof with squinted eyes. "god, i know i'm kind of a bitch most of the time, that i don't like going to church and i kissed a boy at the church's bathroom, but... jungkook is a nice guy and i want him to be mine. can you help me out? pretty please?" he pouted, sighing once again right after.

i wonder how much will my story with jungkook last.

—✞—

"goodbye, jungkook!" seokjin waved, namjoon doing the same, both of them getting in the car and driving away.

they pretended that they were together all day, when they actually came to pick him up a few houses away from taehyung's.

he entered his place, removing his shoes tiredly and walking to the living room, where his mom was waiting for him and his dad was sleeping on the couch. "jungkook, sweetie! how did the date go?"

"it went pretty well, eunji is really nice." he answered vaguely, sitting down beside his mother. he didn't hang out with her anymore, so he decided to at least try today so he didn't look suspicious. "she's really pretty too."

"i agree." she nodded, smiling with her lips sealed.

she received a call minutes before jungkook's arrival from taehyung's mom, in which she said to not confront jungkook about it just yet, because maybe he's actually interested in eunji and taehyung is just part of a phase. it was painful for kwan saying that, but it was for the best.

"yeah, namjoon and seokjin like her too, by the things that i've told them." he lied once again, because all the way to his house they were both complaining about everything revolving her. but his mother didn't need to know that.

"i'm glad to hear it." she nodded, looking at her son's facial expressions closely. he seems genuinely serious about his words, which calmed her down for the moment.

poor woman, if only she knew he was lying.

they talked about some random topics for some minutes, until jungkook excused himself to go to his room, feeling too tired and just wanting to sleep. he took a quick shower and was soon laying on his bed, the sheets covering his body.

there he was, alone with his messy and loud thoughts. thoughts about taehyung, about his mom, about eunji. he thought about seokjin and namjoon too, how they constantly helped him so he could meet up with taehyung.

he thought about what could possibly be the urgent thing taehyung's mother had to tell him that interrupted their cuddling session. was taehyung okay? did he get in trouble?

he picked up his phone, debating wether it was a good idea to ask him about it or not. what if it was too personal? what if he didn't trust jungkook enough?

and all his insecurities came back like every night. he wasn't good enough for taehyung. the blond deserved someone that could love him openly, not someone who loves him in secret. he deserved someone free, someone that could make their own decisions and didn't have a controlling mother like him. he deserved-

the ringtone of his phone interrupted his thoughts, the younger picking it up and closing his eyes momentarily because of the brightness. once he could open them again, a message was displayed on the screen:

tae tae <3

tae tae <3
heyy, my parents are going out
tomorrow for dinner. they said

jungkook smiled widely.
