If love was the answer |vkook|

2; glossophobia

Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic—Oscar Wilde.

"Mr.kim...I-I'm h-here——"

"——take a seat and call me Taehyung" the brunette Male voiced. "Mr. Kim makes me feel old".

The raven haired boy nodded taking his designated seat. Taehyung could easily read the nervousness written across the boy's face. The way his pupil dilated, the way he bit his plump lips....the way his cheeks glowed crimson. Though the boy was a nervous mess, he looked ethereal— like a scenic beauty.

"So enlighten me...what's the purpose of your visit"

"Good morning sir—I mean Taehyung.
I'm jeon jungkook...from Seoul university of computer science and business.
I'm jimin's friend...I'm here on the behalf of my university. We humbly and wholeheartedly welcome you to our cultural fest held during the end of October. please consider our request and inspire us with your presence"

The brunette male chuckled at this little presentation. "So you're jungkook"

"Yeah I'm jimin couldn't come"

"His mother called me few days ago....I thought you were him....y'know" Taehyung haven't seen jimin...well he haven't even seen mrs. park in like 10 years or something.

Mrs. Park genuinely helped him when his mother died...he just ten at that time— young and naive. Mrs. Park is the closest mother figure in his life though they don't see much these years.

"Y-yeah"

"See Jungkook...mrs. park is dear to me and all but...I'm sorry, I might have to turn this offer down" He not the type of person who'd go around, giving motivational speeches to the bunch of hormonal teenagers...who'd laugh at it later anyways. Also he's glossophobic.... like not really phobic...it's just a fancy word he uses to scare people off just because he hate giving speeches.

"But Taehyung...please consider the request" the raven haired boy pleaded whilst his big doe-eyes shone with hope that the brunette felt a pang in his chest to turn him down, to dim the light that shone in those big doe-eyes.

"Why should I" but he couldn't just give in easily just because a boy he had known for like barely thirty minutes...have requested. His kinda glossophobia is bigger than that y'all.
Who likes public speaking anyways.

The boy reminded silent...the type of silent with his head hung low, with his lips moulded into a pout, the type of silent which bugged Taehyung...but the latter was quick enough to shrug all the unwanted feelings off. Why the fuck should he care about a stranger boy— a very cute strange boy.

'Why should I' the question stirred inside jungkook's mind...he was out of answers. But what should he do...how should he convince the elder.

The elder stood by his grounds, ofcourse he had no reasons to come to some stupid college fest....even jungkook had no liking towards the fest.
But wasn't the elder committed not just because he was a former student also because bighit is the biggest fund raiser of their cultural fest.

A sudden ringing noise buzzed through the room....breaking the raventte's trail of thoughts. It was Taehyung's phone.

Taehyung excused himself to answer the phone—what a gentleman. It wasn't a big thing but it's always the little things remember.

The ravenette watched as the elder male answered his phone....though he couldn't hear what conversation they held. It was clear from the brunette's irked expression that it's anything but good. Whoever was on the other side of line had managed to successfully piss off the young ceo

The way his eyebrows came together..., the way his jaw clenched..., it was clear— he seemed furious.

As soon as they hung up, Taehyung headed towards the cute stranger boy who resembled a lost bunny. "Sorry jungkook but I really have to go"

"O-oh y-yeah"

"It was pleasure meeting you, jungkook" with that the young ceo dashed out his office room.... jungkook followed slowly, his purpose for the day was done though he was unsuccessful.

But what made Taehyung so irritated, who was behind the line...though jungkook was left with a curious mind, he knew it wasn't his position. Because curiosity has gotten the cat killed. Remember..?

♡♡♡♡♡

The one person that Taehyung despised with his whole heart— kim yeri. The woman who made his life a living hell. If Taehyung wasn't smart enough he would have been her slave by now. And then there is namjoon, yeri's son....Taehyung's step brother, though namjoon tried his best to be a good older brother, Taehyung only gave him cold shoulders....the brunette hated his mother so how can he be all friendly with that woman's son...?

"What do you want, namjoon..?" the brunette hissed. "I know I'd be the last person you'd spend time with" his voice was mockingly bitter.

"It's something about our family" the other male spoke, even though he did noticed Taehyung's distaste....he had been used to it now. It's not a hidden secret...it's a fact—Kim Taehyung hates him.
Why..? Because his mother is kim yeri.

"Like what Namjoon....? Your mother's thirst for money...or did she leave my dad for another rich dude" Taehyung didn't even hesitated a bit before throwing insults at the latter's mother.

"Enough Taehyung" he knew his mother treated the brunette brutally, thought yeri was at fault all those years for hurting an innocent child who lost his mother at the very young age of ten. She's still namjoon's mother .

"Our family is having an official gathering on chuseok" Namjoon informed.

Family~ Taehyung scoffed at that word. He had no family..... his mother was his only family, the only one who truly loved him. There was a time when his father used to love him but now it's not the same as it was.

He never felt like he belonged to his so called family. He never attended any family gatherings or functions— no one cared anyways.

"I'd love to pass" Taehyung spoke. "Waste your time on something else Namjoon" he added, standing up to leave.

"Dad is gonna be there" Namjoon sighed. "He specifically requested for your presence.....he misses you"

A sudden ache made its way into the brunette's heart. He bit his lips to hold back all those ugly emotion— to hold back his tears.

He hated everything.
