Shadows Beneath The Skin | TAEKOOK

Chapter 6

Quiet sniffles could be heard throughout the dark room.  Jungkook still occupied the spot against the door. 

His cheeks were stained with dried tears, and his eyes were puffed red. His body still shook slightly as he leaned his head back against the door. 

With a huge sigh he pushed himself off the floor and made his way to his, old, bed. He flopped down and stared at the door that had been locked 10 minutes ago. The lights from the hallway seeped in from underneath the crack of his door, illuminating his cold and dark room. 

Jungkook could hear his parents chatting outside the room, as if he didn't even exist. Like what the fuck? They are just going to throw him into his room, technically kidnap him, and go on with their lives like nothing happened? 

Bullshit! 

Jungkook thought this was complete and utter bullshit. He wasn't just going to sit around and act like a whiny baby. No he is going to get out of here by himself. 

Well not all by himself.

He reached back into his pocket and felt around for his savior. His phone. 

Jungkook scooped it out of his pocket and went straight to contacts. He scrolled through them while biting his lip. He constantly glanced at the door, as if expecting his parents to barge in and take away the only thing that could save him. 

After some debating he decided to call Jimin. 

After many rings the call went straight to voicemail. 

"Goddamnit Jimin, the one time I need you!" Jungkook hastily went through his contacts again and called the one person who he knew would answer.

On the third ring a sultry voice spoke.

" Hello? Jungkook?"

"U-um hi, can you come and pick me up from this a-address p-please." 

"Yes of course, I'll be right there."

"Thank you."

Once the call was cut Jungkook immediately sent him the address. With a sigh Jungkook could finally breathe normally. From the moment he walked into his house he could feel something was off, suffocating him. 

Jungkook paced his old room frantically back and forth. He chewed on his nail in anticipation of his arrival. 

Will he have to explain why he wanted to get picked up from his parents house? His car was in the driveway and he could easily just go back to the school. But he left his keys and wallet in his shoes, because that's what he has been taught. 

He didn't want to explain why he was escaping his parents house. It sounded ridiculous. His parents literally kidnapped him and trapped him in his room, how was he going to explain that without the other thinking he was crazy?

His soft footfalls were soon drowned out by the rumble of an approaching vehicle. His head shot up and he ran to his now open window. 

As he looked out at the abandoned street, he could see headlights approaching quickly. 

Jungkook knew it was his ride so without thinking too much about his appearance, he swung his legs over the windowsill and dropped to the grassy floor. As he hit the floor his ankle twisted and he hissed in pain. But he wasn't going to stop now, his parents probably heard the sound of the car. 

With much pain, he limped to the now parked car and opened the passenger seat door. He flung himself in the car and said, "Drive." The driver got the hint and sped away.
