Why not me | TaeKook

Chapter 19

Jungkook's POV

It's been almost a week since Taehyung is coming home late.
Last time when I saw him in a cafe with someone, I tried to ask him who was with him that night. He said it was Soobin but I know it wasn't him.

I don't know what time Tae got back tonight but when I got up in the middle of the night he was strangling me in his sleep. He woke up because of my movement.

"Ah, Don't move"his lips curled downward "Someone is trying to sleep".
I gave him a peck on his nose "I'm just thirsty, will be back in a minute."

Luckily I got a part-time job in the library at university. I wanted to tell Tae about this but nevermind. It's not like he'd mind me getting home late, he doesn't come home on time either.

If I save up, at least I can send noona some money every month. Maybe after some months I'd be able to buy her airplane ticket. Just my salary won't be enough for that though.

At least this is a good start, I'm getting better at controlling my emotions.
I know more than anyone else that my lack of communication with Taehyung caused him a lot of stress but he seems fine and probably I'm ready to tell him about why I was acting up all those days.

Last week Noona said the situation is getting better as she is getting help from somewhere else aside from her job. Maybe that's why finally I'm able to pay attention to my surroundings again.

°°°°Next Week °°°°°°°°

When I came back from my part time job I saw two extra pair of shoes in the shoe rack.
Tae could've told me if he was having guests.

As I progressed in the apartment, I start hallucinating some voices because there she would be here.

"I'm really sorry for ignoring you all this time Ji-a Noona"Now it was Namjoon's voice, my footsteps followed the sound to Taehyung's room.
"You went against our will and married that man, I was too angry at you to have a conversation with you"Namjoon's eyes were red. In front of him sat Jeon Ji-a My older sister.

Eyes covered with dark circles, her round cheeks were no longer round. She looked very different than the last time I had a Video call with her.
She looked like someone sucked out the life out of her, just bones covered with skins, no flesh in it.

"Noona"I broke in tears when she stood up to hug me.
When I huges her back, I couldn't help but compare how thin she got.
"I thought I'd never see you guys again".
Namjoon joined the hug hearing that and Taehyung stood beside us wiping his own tears.

I had no idea what was going on, how was noona back? What was Namjoon Hyung doing here?
"But wait! how did you come back? I don't understand." Noona pulled away from the hug and grabbed Taehyung by his arms.

"I can't thank you enough Mr. Taehyung. I couldn't be here without you." She hugged Taehyung and My brain still couldn't process what was happening.

"Taehyung contacted me last month , he said he wanted to talk to me face to face it was an emergency." Namjoon was calm while narrating the incident.

"He knew I won't listen to you, but he had faith in me. That if I knew something was up with our sister, I would help."
So Taehyung knew? Since when?
I never told him so how?
My eyes were still full of questions.

"When he told me everything, I couldn't believe what I was hearing."Namjoon shifted his gaze towards Noona. He was trying so hard to keep his voice sturdy but I could notice the quivers in it.

"Noona, I was angry at you. Not because you married that white guy even though our parents were against it."
Namjoon wiped the tears which were rolling down her cheeks.

"I was angry at you because you moved to another country without even letting us know. I felt like we had no importance in your life"Namjoon wasn't even trying to keep his voice sturdy when he hugged Noona.

"You have no idea how many nights I stopped myself from contacting you. My anger never stopped me from loving you." I don't even remember when was the last time I saw Namjoon hyung being so vulnerable.

"Namjoon hyung takes care of Jungkook like he is a kid who has no idea how this world works."
The only guy who had a bubbly voice in this room at this moment. Though his eyes were teary he wore the biggest smile when Taehyung looked at me.

"I met Namjoon hyung at the cafe I work around two weeks ago" Wait what? Taehyung works at a cafe? since when?
"I knew a person like him would go out of his ways to help his loved ones." To be honest,I'm the dumbest guy, I have no idea what goes around me.

"Hyung listened to everything. He grabbed my hands and assured me he would do anything he can for his family."Fuck , was it Namjoon hyung when I saw Taehyung with someone at the cafe?
I'm such a fool, I couldn't even recognise my own brother for god's sake.

"I wanted to surprise you and noona too. Noona had no idea Namjoon hyung would be here."Taehyung stood there proudly and I hugged him.

"I don't know how to thank you" I must've done some very good deeds in my past life to deserve him.
"Enough, enough"he flicked my forehead.

"Help Noona unpack her stuff, I will move my stuff to your room." Well my room is technically our room, we even sleep together. He barely has anything to move apart from some clothes and books.

I still wanted to ask a lot of questions but let's save them for later.
Hyung ordered food and after a lot of time, I felt like home.

Everyone important to me was there at that dinning table with the most genuine smile adorning their faces.
I hope our parents were here too.

Watching noona sleep in peace was a true bliss. Taehyung was sleeping like a baby on the sofa.

Well Namjoon hyung and I were still talking in my room. He answered to a lot of my queries.
Apparently Taehyung and Namjoon hyung paid some shares for noona's flight.

Noona couldn't move back home because unlike other family members our father is kind of a hot head.
It is not easy to get through him and it will take a lot of time for their reconciliation.
Taehyung presented the idea that noona can stay with us untill she gets a job and decides to move close to her work or something.

I was getting thirsty so I walked out un between our conversation to grab a bottle from kitchen.
I couldn't help but smile when Taehyung's sleeping figure came into my view again.

I stopped for a few seconds to stare at him, or maybe more than a few seconds. I can't help it. He looks especially a lot cuter today and I don't know why.
"By the way, what is going on between two." I had no idea that Namjoon hyung was standing at the door waiting for me.
Oh that smug look on his face when I said "Nothing".

A/n- I miss BTS so much
