What Is Love || Taekook ||

Chapter - 23

⭕Slight mention of self harm⭕

"Sit here"Hoseok said patting the place beside him.  Lisa rolled her eyes out of annoyance and spatted

"What if I don't want."Hoseok chuckled at her reaction and muttered

"You are such an attention seeker."Lisa dumbfounded at his words. She doesn't want anyone's attention on her right!?

"I'm not"She said refusing his opinion.

"Then why are you acting like this? It's not so hard to sit."Lisa became silent and sat as there's no use of defending the other.

"Now what??"Lisa said out of annoyance.

"Are you happy?"

"Huh"

"Are you enjoying hurting your family?"

"This is not my family."She said while furrowing her eyebrows.

"Where's your family?"He asked as he actually doesn't know.

"Mmm..They---They are abroad."

"Then go to them. You can be happy with your family. Don't make others' lives miserable."Hoseok directly said which made Lisa to widene her eyes. Tears collected in those eyes as she suddenely felt guilty. Noone told these words to her directly.

"They don't wan---want me."Hoseok's mouth turned into 'O' shape and noded his head. She doesn't tell anyone about this.

"Is there someone you wants?"Hoseok asked to which Lisa shaked her head.

"But I know one."Lisa's eyes brighten up with those words. She doesn't know why but she felt so easy and free with Hoseok.

"Jungkook and Jin. They really adore you. They are your brother right?!"Hoseok chirped. Lisa's mood stiffed at the mention.

"No they don't want me too."

"Noo It's just you are not giving them a chance. You are jealous because they show their love to you which you can't."Lisa felt like crying. How this weird man knew about her so well. She doesn't know how to show love. She just hates it.

"Just give a chance to your heart. Feel free and  enjoy. Don't fill up your heart with venom."Hoseok said finally and stood up to leave.Lisa cried softly. It is not too much right!? She also deserves love and care.Her parents dumped her as she is a daughter and she decided to hate Jungkook for everything while he only gives his care to her.

"Will you help me?"She asked and turned around to see Hoseok's face. He is already a bit far.

"To what?"

"To change."

"Of course"He said only to earn a small smile from Lisa. A genuine smile since her birth.

Lisa came into house after consoling her mind. Looking at herself is quite hard for her. She always used to conceal herself. She always showed her as a strong woman. Now to her also it is hard to identify herself. It is hard to understand what she needed all these times. As soon as Lisa came Jin appeared from the kitchen and muttered

"I made a dish for you."and went to his room. Jin is not in a good mood but didn't neglect his duties as older brother.Usually Lisa will shrugged off those words and go to her room. But this time she wanted to see it. She wanted to see and witness what others' do for her. So she walked to the kitchen and met up with her ever favourite dish.Jin made cookies which she used to eat in her younger days a lot.Suddenely she missed herself. She took one by her hand and took a bite.Tears filled up in her eyes and continued to eat one more.

"Noo It's just you are not giving them a chance. You are jealous because they show their love to you which you can't."

Maybe he is correct. She took the plate and went to Jin's room. She tapped on the door only to earn a faint 'come in.' She went in and saw Jin who has a very gloomy and sad mood.

With a cute smile she sat beside Jin on the bed and munched on the cookie. Jin looked at her in disbelief. He never expect that she will eat. She always refused.

"So delicious hyung."Lisa said.Jin's heart swelled up with the sudden respect and love he got from her. He always tried to be a good brother to his youngers but he got nothing in return. Namjoon also left him due to this reason. At some point Jin thought that he didn't really worth anything. But those mere words had power to light up his life. Jin lovingly stroked her hair. Lisa closed her eyes feeling so warm. Both of them enjoyed those little actions as they are broken by heart. They didn't show but they are so weak.

"Where's Namjoon hyung?"She asked. This is the first time she told that name by her mouth. Jin can't bring himself to answer that question. So he cried silently which  made Lisa to hide him in her hug. Lisa for the first time experienced the feeling of taking care.She has this family and she should protect it.

"They are always together nowadays."Jimin said with an amusing smile.

"Yeah..Hoseok hyung already forgot about me."Taehyung said with a satisfied smile.

"Lisa is so good these days. She told me that she will kill Yoongi if he again made me cry."Jimin said proudly. He loves to get attention.

"I think the reason behind Lisa's change is Hoseok."Jimin continued. Both Taehyung and Jimin are looking at the couple on the bench who are laughing like nothing mattered.Jimin never saw Lisa's smile and he can't stop smiling with her now.

"Hoseok hyung's condition is also fairly good these days. I'm happy about him. He deserves this."Taehyung said while reminding of a certain boy who stole his heart and now ignoring.It's been a week since everything happened and the whole house is gloomy for them except for Hoseok and Lisa.

Yoongi and Jimin is same as always. No talk at all. Jin everyday called to Namjoon and spent so many hours by that. Jin now can understand what Namjoon felt. Feeling of left out by his only love. Jin wanted to recorrect everything and he is willing to do anything.

Taehyung is all alone. Jungkook didn't come to him after that day. They never talked after that day. Taehyung knew that the thing happened is beyong forgiveness. But he can understand the psychological side of Jungkook with his anger issues as a doctor. He strongly beleives that they should talk. Talk and come into conclusion. He loves Jungkook. He loves Jungkook to the point of restarting everything by deleting that cruel past. But first Jungkook should face him.

In Jungkook's side he is so ashamed to meet Taehyung. He understood that Taehyung didn't deserve a monster like him but he simply can't let him go. He wants Taehyung and that's why he is ignoring Taehyung. He didn't go to the room these days and sleeps in his office room. Every time he is frustrated he gets the help from his dear blade. He badly craves for Taehyung but he is afraid of rejection.Jungkook is just a body without a soul. He is metally weak but didn't show it. These days he is unapproachable to everyone because he doesn't want to let his guards down. After one week of torture to himself he understood that he should talk to Taehyung and pleads him to not go.That's why he is infront of the door of his room. He nervously stood there. He can't remove those pictures of  Taehyung's vulnerable face.He suddenely got hyped up with his emotions so turned around to go but before that Taehyung opened the door. Taehyung's eyes widene seeing Jungkook while Jungkook tried to runaway. Taehyung held Jungkook's hand and said

"We should talk Jungkook."
