A Slave's Savior [A taekook mafia fan fiction]

Chapter 6

"Bye kook." Jimin said turning back as he reached the door.

"Join us in the dinner, it's your first time coming to our house." Tae said, and he glared at Jimin like 'say yes and I will grill you for the dinner.'

"Thanks but it's already so late. My hyungs will kill me. And I don't wanna disturb you both." Jimin said smirking at Tae and left.

The door closed with a thud and the atmosphere went awkwardly silent once again. Tae turned back to go to the kitchen.

"Why did you call yourself my boyfriend?" This was the first things Jungkook asked. Tae knew he should've controlled his tongue, but what else would he say? He didn't wanted Jungkook to see him as a brother. And friend don't stay together. Also that Jimin was clinging onto him.

"I.. It just came out from my mouth. I don't know why... I just don't know." Tae said trying to make it as much normal as he could.

"Clean the table before coming for dinner." Tae said and rushed towards the kitchen leaving Jungkook in his thoughts.

What if Tae is like his father? What if he wants those things too? What if he is just trying to gain his trust? What if all the care and goodwill is just an act? He is a mafia, a cruel person who kills someone everyday! Why is he being so polite to him? But the care in his eyes, Is it all fake?

After that day Tae became busy with his mafia stuff and Jungkook with his studies. Taehyung came home late nights and they talked only if necessary. It's been a week since Tae dropped him to University. It won't be wrong if I say, Jungkook was missing him. So at the breakfast he asked him.
He asked him to take him from school and Tae said he will.

Tae parked the car and saw Jungkook walking out holding Jimin's hand. He was blushing while Jimin kept talking about something. He looked so happy with him. He felt bad for himself but smiled as he saw Jungkook smile.

"I told you he would come." Jimin said and kissed Jungkook's head.

Jungkook's eyes grew wider. "Why did you--"

"Trust me you are going to thank me later." Jimin said smirking.

Jungkook hit Jimin on his shoulders.

And Tae when he saw this, the smile he have been faking vanished. He tightened the grip on the steering wheel.

The ride was silent, none of them talked. Taehyung was busy with his work so Jungkook cooked the dinner.

After the dinner Tae helped him do the dishes and carried his laptop to kook's room he sat on the bed and started working. Jungkook came out from the bathroom and sat on his side.

"Hyung" Kook called.

Tae hummed in response.

"Let's watch a movie." Kook said.

"I've got a lot of work." Tae said still focused on the screen.

"But you are not taking rest from last week." Jungkook stated.

"Yeah, I am busy, let's stop talking."

"Hyung, why are you acting so cold?" Kook gulped.

"I am not acting cold, I am just tired." Tae said still ignoring him.

"Just tell me what did I do wrong!" Kook said softly.

"Stop disturbing me Jungkook." Tae said.

"Why are you calling me Jungkook?" He asked tears whelming in his eyes.

"Because  it's your name." Tae raised his voice.

"You never call me that." His voice cracked.

"For God's sake, STOP ANNOYING ME JUNGKOOK!" He yelled.

"I.. I am not annoying you. It's you! You are avoiding me. You won't talk to me. You are not even looking at me." Jungkook yelled back as his lips trembled. "What have I done?" 

"Just shut up" Tae shouted.

Jungkook flinched and his tears dropped from his eyes to cheeck. He pressed his lips to stop himself from crying.

Tae looked at him. He ran his hand through his hair in frustation and banged the laptop on the side table.

Tae layed on the bed. "Come here." He called Jungkook. For the first time it felt like he was ordering. Demanding and harsh!

"Koo.." He called again glaring at Jungkook.

Jungkook took a deep breath and layed on the side. Tae pulled him towards himself. Jungkook flinched as  Tae wrapped his arms around him. He shifted to the other side trying to remove Tae's hand but Tae holding him hugging tightly. Tae was mad, not mad at Jungkook, a little mad at himself. He was mad at his destiny. And he was perhaps greedy, he didn't want to let him go, he didn't wanted to go back to his dark past all alone in this empty house, he didn't want to talk to himself again. Jungkook was the happiness he had been praying all his life.

None of them dared to utter a word.
Tae slept while hugging Jungkook. And Jungkook he just couldn't stop but cry silently. In the end he fell asleep too.
