Heart That I Desire || Taekook, Vkook

Chapter 19 : Family

Third Person's P.O.V :-

"Mom..." Taehyung tearfully called out in a soft voice as his mother proceeded to drag him across the Kim family home, passing by many relatives in the process and towards, what Taehyung guessed was, his childhood bedroom.

Mrs. Kim slammed the door open and flung Taehyung inside,"Stand there" She whispered in a tense voice before she quickly peeped outside to see if anyone was nearby.

"Mom..." Taehyung once again called out with a strained voice, guilt and shame swirling in his gut.

Mrs. Kim wordlessly closed the door and locked them from the inside, her tense back facing Taehyung.

"...Since when?" She slowly asked as she hesitantly turned around, showing Taehyung just how scared she was,"How long has this been going on?" She asked, her voice leaking hints of paranoia.

"I-.." Taehyung stuttered trying to answer that.

Since when should Taehyung say? A month ago since Jungkook had started making moves on him or a few days ago when Taehyung realized his own feelings?

"I-I don't know, we-weeks?" He spoke falteringly, fearing what his mother's reaction would be.

"Weeks?! Taehyung?!" She gasped in utter shock, her eyes widening in horror,"Did Jimin find out?!" She asked again, wishing with every fiber in her body for Taehyung's answer to be negative.

"N-no, he doesn't know" Taehyung whispered in a tiny voice and looked down at the floor, tears slipping past his eyes.

Mrs. Kim sighed in relief before approaching Taehyung and firmly holding him by the arms,"Taehyungie, baby, you do realise that this has to end right?" She asked out in paranoia, cupping Taehyung's cheek to make him face her.

Taehyung sniffled at her words,"O-of course.." He uttered out, feeling miserable inside,"I kn-know..." He said again, not know what else to say, tears still slipping past his eyes.

Mrs. Kim bit her lips at her son's words,"What you did in the kitchen was inherently reckless, do you have the slightest idea what would have happened if it was someone else other than me?" She asked out anxiously,"The Mistress' spies are all over the premises, every wall has ears and eyes, this is not the place where you act recklessly!" She harshly whispered, evidently very upset that her son was foolish enough to not think things through.

"I...I'm sorry" Taehyung choked out, his mother's words made sense. They made total sense. On the other hand, it sounded like she was upset about his actions rather than his affair. It made him think that maybe his mother could help him.

"I like him" Taehyung said out loud without reconsidering,"I'm in love with him" He said again, his chest tightening up as his mother looked at him in shock,"What should I do, mom?" He whimpered out as his legs gave out and he started sobbing into his hands.

"Taehyung!" Mrs. Kim called out at the loud noise of knees hitting the floor and crouched down beside him,"Dear Lord, did you hurt your knees?!" She asked while rubbing comforting circles on her son's back.

"My heart hurts, mom" Taehyung sobbed out as he looked up at his mother with a tear strained face,"Whenever I think about all this, everything hurts, my head hurts, my chest hurts, my gut hurts, I feel nauseous and light headed, so-sometimes I can't even breath, help me, mom..!" Taehyung whispered out in terror, desperately grabbing onto his mother as if only she could help him.

"Taehyungie.." Mrs. Kim uttered in sadness as she pulled him closer, trying to reassure him that she wasn't going to leave him.

"I tense up whenever Jimin touches me" Taehyung whispered remousefully, his lips quivering,"I don't like it when he approaches me intimately, my mind tells me that I'm dirty that I'm not worthy of him and my heart tells me that he's not the one whom I like" He thugged on his mother's robe, begging for an answer.
