Chapter 2

16.03.2022
Sunrays from the sky pierced its way through the window; shinning brightest on Jungkook's face. The boy turned around, before he opened his eyes, immediately screaming at the time.

"Taehyung! Taehyung! Get of my chest! Wake up!"

Tae attended to the boy's call; while glaring at him for disturbing his beauty sleep.  He tossed and turned around for a while, before sitting comfortably to confront Jungkook for interrupting his dream.

"What is your problem?  I was almost going to kiss my husband when you screamed like I was going to kill you.."

"Idiot! You need to leave before anyone sees you here...", Jungkook replied; looking around to see if anyone was coming.

"Ooooo! Secret boyfriend fantasies, huh?"

"Firstly, you are not my boyfriend. Secondly, if Jin hyung saw us; in the same room; his imagination would confidently make him believe we slept with each other."

"but we did sleep with each other..", the younger(Tae) replied.

"You know what I mean! Don't pretend to be innocent"

A frown appeared on Taehyung's face; as he formed an angry pout. Grabbing his blanket, he stormed towards the door; not leaving before glaring at Kook.

"I'll wait for you Twae!", Jungkook whispered, as the door was already opened.

"A little too much affection for kicking me out, huh!" Taehyung yelled, before dashing to his room; and there Jungkook was hearing his own giggles.

It was fifteen- minutes to 12, and the entire group was assembled at the living room; each in their own world. 

Their endless chaos was bought to halt when Joon's phone vibrated. Little Hannie, who seemed to be playing with a ball, quickly ran to fetch Namjoon his phone.

The 6 faces just stared at the rollercoaster of emotions that was played on Namjoon's face. Soon as the call ended, Joon immediately searched for the TV Remote; before which the pendulum began its oscillations to alert everyone in the room about the time of the day becoming 00:00.

The TV flashed open to the news; as the group scrunched their face in disgust. Taehyung immediately carried Hannie to his playroom and closed the door; the others were more than grateful for Taehyung's quick reflexes. 

TW: Mentions of Blood and Death

In between screens that covered every wall of the room, ensuring no evidence of the place was revealed; sat a young girl.

People could assume she was around the age of 18. A thick rope tied her to the chair; bruising her skin.

Her clothes ragged; as if someone just made her wear it for the sake of the camera. A thin piece of clothing covered in blood was wrapped around her.

Blood tickling down from the fresh cuts all over her body; while the same red liquid seemed to be dried at some wounds.

While the entire nation was pitying her; a tall, broad 6ft man with a knife in his hands entered the frame. The man didn't bother to spare a glance towards the camera.

He held the support in the chair before beginning to pierce the knife in and out; causing blood to scatter everywhere, a bit even on the camera.

He waited a while, his grin could be seen though he wasn't facing the screen. The huge figure then left; when he knew the girl was no longer alive.

The video went blank and it finally read:

"This lockdown is to save your pity asses from getting killed in my hands."

"Nobody can save him from my hold, I repeat nobody."

The video ended; and the news reader began to explain how this video was sent to their office, and about the President's statement will be released soon.

Namjoon quickly switched off the TV; just to hear loud whimpers. The group turned their heads towards Tae, who seemed to have been profusely crying. Tears kept rolling down his cheeks, while the boy kept wiping them. 

Jungkook hesitated to wrap his hands around the boy, or whisper some consoling words; but at one point he couldn't hold back and wrapped his hands around the crying boy; pulling him closer. He kept caressing his fluffy hair; while rocking the cuddled duo side to side.  He could feel Taehyung visibly relax in his hold; as the whimpers turned to sniffs. Kook felt his hyung's shocked eyes all focused towards them; but he couldn't care less. 

"Eww! Don't rub your snot on me!." he screamed when he felt something wet on his chest; and received a confirmation from Taehyung that the wet substance was his tears.

The duo stayed in each others embrace until a little hand patted on Kook's knee. Jungkook immediately turned his attention towards the pat to see little Hannie looking at him with curious, doe eyes. 

"Dwada huggie TaweTae"

"Yes baby! TaeTae was crying"

The little girl's eyes widened when she got to know Taehyung was crying, she knew she had to give her magic touch.

"Dwada, uppsie!"

Jungkook then carried little Hannie and placed her on Tae's lap; his action was accompanied with the gasps of the hyungs, as Kook never let anyone new near his baby bunny. Hanuel was quick to place a peck on Tae's cheeks and gave him her million dollar bunny smile. Her contagious smile made everyone in the room laugh; it was needed after the gruesome act they just saw.

"TaeTae, caterpwiller!" 
"Kook, I am taking her to play caterpillar with me." Tae said, as he left the room with Hanuel.

Once there was no evidence of Hannie and Tae, the others sat around Jungkook and began their series of questions.

Jin: Kook, what is happening between the two of you? Are you dating each other?

Kook: Hyung, it is too early to date each other. You know I haven't dated anyone after Hannie entered the family, but with him I want to give it a shot.

Jimin: So you like him? I like him too, not romantically.

Suga: I died for a second. I'm not in for a throuple. 

Kook: It is too early to say we like each other and it is too late to say I don't like him. We both want to give it a shot. 

Namjoon: Both? He feels the same way.

Kook: I think...

Tae: No, even I want to see where this takes us. 

Hobi: Since when are you here?

Tae: I was here since the start, I came to call Kook to play with us.

Namjoon: So you both don't like each other yet, but want to see if you will like each other in the future and can get together.

Kook: 144IQ for a reason!

With that, Tae and Kook left to play with Hannie; leaving the rest confused as ever. 

Jin: The day I understand Kook will be the day, I will no longer be World Wide Handsome; which is never.
