Chapter 1️⃣4️⃣

(Jin's POV)

My headache was getting out of hand, I had no choice but to head back home, “Mom, I'm back...” My voice was barely audible, so, when Mom came out of one of the rooms closer to the main door, with a cleaning mop in her hand, I was fairly surprised.

“What happened? You okay?”

She had dirt all over her face, but not enough to hide the concerned look, “Just a headache, Mom. Don't worry.” I wanted to wipe the dirt off her face but couldn't.

“Tae came back early too...Umm...go rest in your room, okay? I'll bring you guys some Chicken soup.” with that she hurried towards the kitchen, leaving me to feel guilty all of a sudden.

As I climbed up the stairs, I kept thinking to myself. Thinking, wondering and questioning- Why? Why was I so blind to see all these before? Why?

My head fell so heavy when I threw myself on top of my bed.

He lost everything. He was so young too. Of course, they love him more. He deserves it. Why was I so unreasonably mean? I'm so stupid. Selfish...him? Namjoon was right. I'm the one who is selfish. Me.

Before I realised it, hot tears started streaming down my cheeks, burning and stinging my eyes in the process. I squeezed my eyes tightly, my head was hurting even more.

Right then I heard a knocking sound, followed by one on my bedroom door, “That must be Mom.” I mumbled to myself as I got up to open the door for her but nobody was there. Puzzled, I looked down only to see two bowls of soup placed neatly beside each other.

I don't know why but my eyes instantly landed on Taehyung's door. No sound came from inside, making me wonder if he was sleeping. Again I had a sudden urge to open the door and check on him but like what happened with Mom, I couldn't.

So, I picked up one of the bowls carefully and closed the door. The soup was a great source of comfort, making my headache melt away. Fortunately for me, it didn't take long before another comfort greeted me. As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.

The next morning when I woke up, I was glad to find that my headache was gone. Upon looking at the clock, I noticed that I had woken up earlier than usual. So, I sat up and stayed seated on the edge of the bed for a few minutes to collect my thoughts. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and almost kicked the plate of food on the floor.

Confused, I noticed that in front of Taehyung's door there was also a plate, “Did Mom come to give us dinner?” I said to myself while staring at the plates pensively, “Taehyung...” this time, I didn't hesitate and opened Taehyung's door swiftly.

My eyes instantly landed on his bed, where he was sleeping peacefully, the comforter placed on his body loosely. I had to scoff at the scene which looked rather complete opposite to how I was feeling last night.

I unveiled the curtains roughly as I usually do and then it was time for the comforter. Sighing, I pushed aside my intense urge to remove the comforter roughly and placed my hand on his shoulder instead, giving it a light shake. As I had expected, it didn't work, sighing again, I just decided to leave. Just as I was about to leave, I heard Taehyung mumble, “You know I don't wake up like that.”

Sudden annoyance filled me as I replied, “Well, you are awake.”

By this time he had gotten up and as he walked past me, he muttered, “I was already awake.”

As I stood there, watching his retreating back, for the first time in my life I thought that Kim Taehyung looked pathetic and this thought made me weirdly uncomfortable. Shaking these thoughts away, I followed him downstairs.

“Oh! You are up too.” Mom said as soon as I entered the kitchen, Taehyung was already sitting at the kitchen counter, “Let me quickly fix you something.” she continued with a smile.

I quietly sat down beside Taehyung, avoiding his eyes. To my surprise, he was avoiding mine too.

Five minutes later, Mom put two plates of pancakes in front of us but unlike before, her expression looked serious.

“Tell me honestly...” she started, “Did you two fight?”

Needlessly to say, both Taehyung and I were confused and we shook our heads simultaneously. Although it seemed that she didn't believe us, she didn't question us further.

“Thanks for the food, Aunt.” Taehyung finished before me and left after saying that.

“Seokjin...” Mom sighed, “Jin... sweetie... you know I love you, right?”

My mind went instantly blank and I nodded my head silently.

“It's just he...you know, right? I'm sorr-”

“It's okay, Mom. I know. It's okay. We didn't fight, I swear.”

“Oh, sweetie... I'm so sorry...” I noticed her eyes were glistening.

“Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of him.”
