Taekook

                           Year 2019

Namjoon and Hoseok are now in their not so regular cafe for NamJoon but a regular for Hoseok which located three blocks away from their company.
Hoseok dragged Namjoon into cafe just to see a boy named jungkook and Namjoon wanted to know more about him since Hoseok blabbered good things about the boy.
Hoseok wants him to be as taehyung's caretaker and bribing Namjoon about it. Hoseok used to visit the cafe often before and befriend with jungkook.

[Jungkook's hometown is Busan, he's raised in a middle class family. Jungkook has a older brother called jimin who runs a cafe in Busan and jungkook was fond of working in his brother's cafe when he was a middle schooler. He moved to Seoul for his studies and he just joined Seoul uni majoring photography.
He used to doing part-time jobs to maintain his financial conditions. He's well behaved as long Hoseok knew, he once fought with a customer to protect his female co-worker and that impressed Hoseok to choose him as a care taker for taehyung since Namjoon is over protective of his brother]

Namjoon offered to pay high cause looking after someone 24/7 is not at all an easy task and moreover Namjoon wanted a good person to do the job. At first Jungkook hesitated to take responsibility but Hoseok convinced him so that he doesn't need to tire himself doing 2-3 jobs to earn money, he can stay at Namjoon's place and it saves a lot of money by not renting an apartment.

Namjoon made his uni life easier by  making some changes confidentially for jungkook throwing some generous donation to the uni.
Jungkook visits his uni atleast three times a week and rest of the things he do online. Jungkook is balancing his education and care taker job pretty well.

"So how's taehyung doing? Any improvements?"
_asked Hoseok while setting up a dinner table.

_Jungkook sighed and sat down at the table wiping his wet hair.
"No hyung. All he do is, nodding as approval.. shaking his head as no..pout when he wants attention.. put up a blank face when he is mad.. and he smiles widely when he is too happy.

{Hoseok wasn't surprised about what he heard. He had a hunch that jungkook likes taehyung but he never asked nor talked anything about it. He wasn't sure how jungkook will react if he finds out that someone knows his secret. He wants jungkook to take his time to talk about taehyung not as his caretaker but as a boy who loves him.}

"Taehyung is jungkook's secret"
and no one supposed to know about it, not even taehyung.

"You sure know a lot about him. You're taking a good care of him, I see"
_hoseok said loading jungkook plate with various dishes.

"I appointed to do that hyung, am I not?"
_jungkook said smiling

"I'm glad it's you."
_said Hoseok taking a bite of fried chicken.

"Why are you saying like that hyung?"
Is there anything I'm not aware of?
_jungkook asked with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"There were several people appointed by Namjoon who worked as care takers before you but.. you know he's now like a child, one has to be with taehyung for bathing and all...
_hoseok paused. It made jungkook fidget hard

"Hyung, tell me everything. Please "
_jk pleaded

"Some used to act nice infront of Namjoon but were cruel to taehyung. Some are neglected him that lead taehyung hospitalized for days cause of poor diet and infection and one guy..
_hoseok paused again making latter angry.

"Hyung! What happened to taehyung? Did anyone hurt taehyung physically??"
_now jk was out of it. He couldn't wait to hear more.

"Taehyung was sexually harassed..
_hoseok now conflicting with his decision of telling jk about it. He knew jk is fierce like Namjoon and can be a monster when it comes to their loved ones but he can't turn back now so he continued.
