Yours, Taehyung | ᴛᴀᴇᴋᴏᴏᴋ

Twenty Seven

Jungkook never felt awkward in front of his members and around the people he trusts and feels comfortable with.

But today, he is around Namjoon and Taehyung, the two people he trusts a lot, but still, he feels awkward. He feels scared. He feels like throwing up because he knows that now his and Taehyung's secret will be out. There's no other excuse he can make when the leader has found his husband chilling at his house at half past twelve while Jungkook wasn't even home.

Jungkook knows that he is fucked for real this time.

"Jungkook, you have three seconds to start explaining the situation to me or else I'd lose my fucking mind." Namjoon glares at the younger idol, eyes wide with confusion.

Jungkook still doesn't know how to handle this situation. He knows he is trapped now. There's no way out. He wonders if he should tell Namjoon the truth because if he chooses to lie, he would have to keep lying for a long time and when the truth finally comes out, Namjoon, the person he considers his idol, would be very disappointed in him and would never trust him.

"Jeon Jungkook, aren't you going to clean the mess you've created?" Seokjin raises his eyebrows at him, arms crossed across his chest in a challenging way.

Jungkook sighs, his eyes flickering at Taehyung who is staring at the floor, scared, just like him.

"Jungkook..." Namjoon's voice raises as he demands an answer. He is losing his patience now. He doesn't feel so good about this situation.

"Do you--- Do you and Taehyung live together?" The leader demands, his question directed towards both Jungkook and Taehyung. It's the first thing that came to his mind after analysing the situation.

The stylist's eyes widen to the point that it feels like they would pop out of their sockets. He doesn't know what to do now. He doesn't even know why Namjoon is here in the first place.

"Will someone fucking answer?" Maybe it's Namjoon's impatience and annoyance that makes him come across as rude.

Seokjin does not like his attitude. He is about to snap at the rapper when Taehyung's timid voice replies, "N-No. No, we d-don't live together, h-hyung."

Namjoon finds it hard to believe. It's the way the stylist says it that convinces him that his suspicion is right.

"Don't lie to me." Namjoon snaps, cowering Taehyung away as he partially hides behind his best friend.

Jungkook's had enough. Taehyung looks scared even in his own house. The reason why Jungkook bought this house in the outskirts of Seoul was that he wanted himself and Taehyung to live hear without any fear. This is their little space where they can truly be themselves without worrying about people finding out. Without being scared of getting caught.

But right now, they've been caught--- well, kind of, because Namjoon is smart and Jungkook doesn't like the look of fear on his husband's face. After all, he had promised him that they would live hear safely.

"I'm not l-lying, hyung." Taehyung says, desperately looking at his husband with wide eyes full of tears floating in them.

"Taehyung, stop. I don't want to listen to you anymore when I clearly know you're lying. I'd rather talk to Jungkook." Namjoon says and Taehyung's mouth falls open.

The older's words pinch his heart. He hasn't known Namjoon a lot on personal level but he does know him professionally. He has always been kind and welcoming towards him, so hearing these words coming from his mouth hurts.

"Hyung, stop it!" Jungkook suddenly exclaims. Everything aside, no one is allowed to talk rudely with Taehyung. He knows he has made his own mistakes in the past and been rude to him but he won't let anyone else do the same to his husband. Taehyung deserves way more than that.
