Why not me | TaeKook

Chapter 18

It's been a few days since Taehyung is coming home late. Seems he found a new friend at the university and they're working on a project together.
The faculty gave clear instructions that the three aces of the class shouldn't work together on this one, that they should learn to work with others too.

Isn't it crazy that Jungkook haven't started his project yet, nor Jimin. I mean c'mon the deadline is after three months. Jungkook is frustrated, there's a lot in his mind lately.

At least seeing Taehyung 24x7 relieves his stress but not having him around is boosting his anxiety.

His sister filed a divorce with her husband because he used violence quite a few times.

Jungkook still remembers her voice vividly when she suddenly called Jungkook a few days ago and told him that she wants to come home.

"Jungkooka, I can't take it anymore. I want to come home. I don't have anything." Her muffled cries through phone broke him down. She left her husband's home and is living on her own. She left everything behind, him , his home, the clothes he bought her, the jewelries.

Now the problem is that her job is too hard and she doesn't get paid well.
The rent is too much and she barely saves any penny. Moving from one country to another costs alot. She doesn't have that on her. She's barely surviving.

"Then come back. Come back noona." She knew how much desperate Jungkook was to get her back. She could tell by his voice. It almost sounded like he was begging her.

"You know, there's no room for me in our family. They don't even want to see my face". Jungkook knew better than anyone that his parents won't even bother to listen to her.

Jungkook thought about it a lot. How could he resolve things on his own.
How could her noona have the money to come back and to settle down.

He texted his sister, promised her that he would bring her back to Korea.
That he's working on it. He applied for a part time job in the university library.

At least he can start by earning a little. Maybe he will be able to help her soon.

Jungkook was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even noticed when his boyfriend walked in. The other side of the sofa dipped down which startled him.

"When did you come ?"Taehyung was laughing at those doe eyes which were about to fall off from their place.

"When you were building a castle inside your mind".

Taehyung's phone rang and he picked it up with a smile.
The voice inside the phone asked something and Taehyung replied with
"Yes I reached home safely. No need to worry about me dude I'm not a child".

Must be that project buddy, what was his name again? Oh right ..Yeonjun.
Jungkook doesn't like him at all. It's not that he's bad. It's just that he's tall, taller than Jungkook. Jungkook despise the people who are taller than him , are smart and have the guts to be around Taehyung. Why is he worrying about Taehyung so much huh?

"Kookie, place this in microwave". Taehyung gave Jungkook some packed food.
"I'll take a shower real quick and let's eat together". Taehyung gave a light peck on Jungkook's head and if he had not ran to his room he would'nt have missed the blush on Jungkook's face.

Jungkook was totally out of it for a few days but he's coming back. Though Jungkook haven't told Taehyung about his noona but Taehyung's constant comfort works like medicine.

When Taehyung came back from the shower he saw the little bunny dozing off on the table. He opened Jungkook's mouth and stuffed it with some food, he started chewing it in his sleep. Taehyung's loud laughter woke him up and he stared at the laughing figure in front of him with his eyes half closed , still chewing the bite and it took him a few seconds to understand the situation.

Yet another evening when Taehyung was out late, this time he was with Soobin. They were out on some shopping spree or something. Jungkook decided to get some coffee with Jimin. The poor small boy was dragged out from his room against his will (well his expression said he was not that reluctant).

While walking down the street Jungkook spotted a similar figure inside the glass walls of the café. Taehyung was sitting there with some guy whose back did not looked like Soobin's at all. Jimin widened his eyes when he realized who was inside the café.

"Hey, There's a café that makes awesome coffee just on the other end of the street", Jimin dragged Jungkook by pulling the jacket he was wearing . " I think I saw Taehyung with some" he swallowed his words when he saw other person holding Taehyung's both hand which were on table for comfort.

Jungkook was not a teenager who would create unnecessary drama for no good reason. He will ask Taehyung before assuming any bullshit because he knows there is no one who is more loyal than Taehyung out there.

Author's Note-

First of all, sorry for ghosting upon you guys
Life has been hard and busy
There's just so much going on
I haven't even watched concert's videos.
Not stalking any artist, just listen to their music on a regular basis...not following up with their news...
There's just so much to study, to manage and I haven't wrote in a while so I kinda forgot the details of this story ...I had to reread it to get a grip of it ..

But it's not that bad, life is good like this too. Not being a phone addict has affected me in good ways.
