The Fault In Romance

42

jungkook's mother was getting better. they found out she had high blood pressure due to stress, and was given medication that was not suited for her symptom and the medication was not reacting well with her body which caused her to have a seizure. she was on her way back home, to head straight to bed rest. she went to work to soon and was on her way back home now.

taehyung made sure the place was tidy. taehyung went out before to get a gift basket for jungkook's parents and put it on the kitchen bench, it was filled with a few goodies for them both to snack on. the raven thought it was the sweetest thing. taehyung was carrying ara in his arms when jungkook's parents arrived. 

jungkook helped his mother in and lead her to the lounge while jungkook's dad brought the bags in. when taehyung walked out the kitchen and saw jungkook's mum he gasped. 

"rose? what are you doing here?" taehyung asked, jungkook looked at taehyung confused. mrs jeon smiled brightly. 

"oh taehyung. I am jungkook's mother" mrs jeon said and taehyung nearly shat himself. his cheeks went bright red and his face was filled with dread. 

"take a seat love" she said, patting the seat next to her. taehyung nodded and sat beside her with ara in his arms. 

"how do you guys know each other?" jungkook asked, sitting across from them. 

"taehyung came to me for counselling. ryan booked an appointment for him. we only had one session" she said, looking at taehyung who looked awfully embarrassed. 

"I am so sorry, if I knew you were jungkook's mother I would of gotten ryan to cancel the session" taehyung said. 

"no. I am very glad you came to see me. I was surprised when you mentioned jungkook but i could tell you did not know who I was. sometimes his little fans at school come see me just to get info from me."

"what was said in that session is confidential. jungkook knows that." mrs jeon said

"confidentiality is my mums biggest policy when it comes to her clients" jungkook added. 

"it is. you want to talk to someone who you can trust, who wont judge. I have seen all of jungkook's close friends. majority of them come for monthly cheek ins, just to see how they are going with certain things."

"jungkook never gets curious?" taehyung questioned, looking between the two. 

"I want lie, I do. but at the same time, ryan comes to me when he needs advice and there is some things you just want to talk to an adult about. I always say to my bestfriends that they can tell me anything but if they ever talk to my mum whatever is said in those sessions is between them two"

"the only times I really care is if I think one of them is hurting themselves, or could do something to themselves but that has not come up" the raven explained. taehyung nodded his head, it makes sense. but he was still trying to wrap his head around it all.

"jungkook can you come help me?" jungkook's father called out and the male got up from the couch and went to help his dad. 

"how are you both doing now?" she questioned, taehyung smiled and shook his head. 

"no questions! you should be resting" taehyung smiled, she chuckled and slapped his shoulder lightly. 

"dont be silly, go on tell me?" she asked

"I did hear about what happened when you tried to confess. I am sorry you had to experience that, did jungkook get to explain himself?" she questioned, looking at taehyung who nodded. 

"we talked last night about it. he apologised and told me his side. he felt awful for hurting me. he made things clear with amber" taehyung replied

"where does that leave you too now, it is so obvious he likes you" mrs jeon laughed. 

"we talked and decided we just wont put labels on it for now until I can get that trust and confidence back. it may take time but I feel go where it is now and he does as well" 

"im proud of you taehyung. you both handled this situation like grown ups. as long as your both happy" she said, squeezing his hand. 

"are you going to talk to him about luke? one of the obligations is that if someone is harming you I have to report it" she said, taehyung panicked a little and shook his head fast. 

"I just need more time" taehyung said

"dont panic. I can only report it if you come in and hes hurt you, I need evidence for it so whenever your ready, come to me okay" she said, squeezing his hand again. 

"thank you for everything" taehyung said, smiling back at her when she chuckled. 

"thanking me? I should be thanking you for all the help you have given this family. whenever something happened with me your here with jungkook, even when he broke your heart. so thank you for helping my son and our family" 

"always" taehyung smiled back.
