Labyrinth [Tk]

Broken threads

Third-person POV-

Three days passed since jungkook had proposed to taehyung for marriage which the latter gladly accepted and so to start the new chapter of his life without any bitter thoughts, here he was... standing in front of his parent's house in the hope to seek their blessings and acceptance in this huge decision of his life.

In these past few years, he tried all his ways and did everything he can to make his parents proud to have a son like him and not bow their heads down, being ashamed of him. But his parents, just as much as they hated tae years ago, carried the same hatred till today, how much ever he tried to gain them back. Just when he hoped for them to at least talk if not accept his sexuality, it comes crashing down like house of cards by just their mere disgusted look at him whenever he had stood up at their doorstep.

But it doesn't mean tae stopped trying. Instead of drowning in those hateful words and the look of his parents, he just smiled at them every time saying 'I'm on my own feet today mom and dad. See? No one hates your son and allowed him to grow further in his future. I know you both are angry at me but please... for once keeping society aside, consider your son. And I hope next time when I come, I would be welcomed into your lives again' and he would leave from there....while the positive facade would immediately wipe out replacing it with scorching tears of hurt.

Today was no different. After gathering enough hope in his pure heart the innocent angel knocked at the door, hearing the sounds of footsteps and a faint 'coming' following it. He quickly put on a smile on his face as he forwarded his hand in front of the door which was holding a basket of fruits and a letter he wrote to tell about the wedding and inviting them. A click was heard as the door was opened-

"Good mor-" and just as the door was opened it was quickly slammed shut by his mom at his face, making tae flinch back in surprise from the loud slam. He was still processing this when some voices from inside the house rang in his ears.

"Who was at the door honey?" He heard his father asking his mom and the reply his mom gave broke the string of hope holding his heart and breaking it into pieces.

"No one important... Just the same shameless bitch from before after whoring around, decided to show us his filthy face"

His feet started shaking....so not able to stand himself anymore, he let his body slump at the entrance of the house as the unimaginable pain squeezing his heart started pouring through his eyes, wetting a small patch on the concrete ground below.

Not able to hold back anymore, loud wails started leaving his rosy lips that would make anyone shed their own tears from the way taehyung hunched himself as his figure quivered. The sobs reached the two people who were shame to be called parents... But instead of taking some pity on their son and realising how wrong they were doing to their own blood, they laughed seeing him from the window, making fun of him and being proud of themselves to remove such a 'disgust' for them from their lives before it was too late...

Taehyung moved his tear-stricken face to see them when he heard their laughs... But instantly regretted it because it just broke his heart further and so he kept the fruit basket at the door and tugged the letter under it. He stood on his feet, wiped his tears with the back of his hand and looking straight into his parent's eyes said those words with a smile which made his parents still in their place and just see the retrieving figure of tae leaving the house with tears still streaming like a waterfall down his cheeks-

'I forgive you'

The sun shine brightly as the soft breeze wrapped around him, who moved along the path his feet took. His mind was a mess and his heart was broken..his soul was lost as Taehyung walked through the streets of Seoul? Busan?. He was tired... every time he visits his parents hoping to see them receiving him with a warm heart and loving eyes, but all he got were hateful eyes and painful words...
