Euphoria | Taekook [on hold]

Hihi~ I'm not back to publishing this book yet, but I thought I'd just publish this little chapter for fun ~

"There's been a change of plans. Follow that car, please." Jungkook said to Minho who was driving their car.

The man asked no questions and started the engine, following close behind Taehyung's car.

"We aren't going with uncle Jimin and Yoongi and Hoseok?" Minsu knitted his brows together in confusion. His shoulders tensed because of the unexpected change and the fact that his father didn't even tell him.

His lips formed into a deep frown when his father hesitated. "Your father's. I-I would feel more comfortable being somewhere that I'm farmiliar with." He spoke honestly while biting his already short fingernails.

Minsu pushed his hand away since he knew his father's bad habit that lead to bleeding fingers. He couldn't deny that he felt happy that they were going to stay with his father. That way he could get to know him better, but he still felt uneasy about the whole ordeal.

He nodded simply and turned to Jihu who was locked in a car seat and playing with a pair of toy keys. Minsu patted his head and smiled down at his brother when they met eyes.

Jungkook hated to think about it, but after the police had taken Yugyeom, they searched his hotel room where they found the small boy locked in and crying as loud as he could.

Just thinking about him leaving Jihu alone in a random hotel room made Jungkook's blood boil. Sure the door was locked and secure, but still. It was dangerous and a little three-year-old can hardly fend for itself nonetheless fight off someone who could have went in.

Soon Minho pulled up into the driveway beside the apple tree and turned the engine over. He then got out and opened up each door for the small family. Jungkook and Minsu slid out together and then went around to get Jihu out of the car seat.

Taehyung went in quickly and started cleaning up a bit before everyone went inside. He had let the one maid he had a long time ago leave since she and Jungkook were close and so even her presence reminded him of the ex-lover.

Changbin and Chan carried most of the bags. Minho parked both cars near the guest house where they would be staying. And Felix accompanied the family into the house; just to be as safe as he could be.

"Wow," Jihu looked around with sparkling eyes like Jungkook and hopped down to go explore. Felix ran after him quickly.

Jungkook ran his slender fingers through his bleached hair and sighed softly. He felt tears prick his eyes as he picked up a small firetruck toy that he used to play with.

"Mr. Taehyung took your bags to your room, Mr. Jeon." Chan said as he and Changbin came down from the stairs. Then they started to check the house for any hidden cameras, but they only found the security cameras around each door that lead outside.

"Thank you. Go play, Minsu. Take your brother down to the play room." Jungkook patted the child's shoulder and went upstairs, his tattooed hand gripping the sleek marble banister.

The boy ran off, ending up finding Jihu and Felix in the sun room. He took his brother and a trailing Felix down to the basement and played around like he had done before.

"Tae?" Jungkook peeked into his old bedroom. He saw the elder straightening the bed and smiled softly. He went in, catching the attention of the other.

"Hi." He greeted.

Jungkook smiled again and looked around the bedroom. A silver frame caught his eye and he picked it up from one of the two night stands. It was a selfie of the two from one of their first dates before they had gotten together as a couple.

He touched the picture and looked up, locking eyes with his love. "It was so simple back then." He chuckled and recalled his baby face and Taehyung's old glasses that he wore before contacts.

"Yeah." Taehyung hummed with a strained smile. He felt the awkward air and fidgeted with the hem of his shirt.

Before he went to leave the room, he felt a hand touching his. He turned, being face to face with Jungkook.

"I-I don't want this to be awkward between us. You know that I love you, b-but I can't be with anyone. Not for a long time. You understand, right?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung with his sparkling eyes filled with hope.

Taehyung nodded and held Jungkook's hand that was near his own. He hated feeling him flinch, but loved that he held his hand back.

"Of course I understand. I love you so much." He breathed. He wanted so badly to hug the other or pull him close, but he knew that he couldn't.

"Me and Jihu are hungry!" Minsu suddenly ran in and hugged Jungkook's waist.

"Okay, let's go." The blond patted his son's head and went back downstairs with him.

Taehyung sighed as he watched the two disappear through the doorway. He rubbed his eyes and sniffed, shaking his head too.

"Get over yourself, Taehyung."
