The Latte Pact ☕ || TAEKOOK

CH6: TOO TIRED

Jk Pov.

"Here you are.... Jungkook?"

As soon as I entered the house, all eyes we're on me. I was able to sense the tensed environment all over the room.
Jimin wad standing at my right, head slightly down, fingers fidgeting.

Something happened, isn't it?

Anger all over appa's face.
What could it be now?

"Wh... What happened... Appa?"

"Where were you this late, huh?" He said crossing his hands across his chest.

"I.. Appa, I was with.. My friends.... Did something happened??" I asked gulping hard.

"Yahh, your teacher called me... And talked about your performance in academics these days. Please throw some light on it Jeon Jungkook."

"........ "

"So, it's true, right? Geez....That's PATHETIC!! YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF JEON PVT. LTD. I want everything PERFECT....
AND YOUR FRIENDS, WHO DON'T EVEN A LUXURY LIFESTYLE LIKE US, LEAVE THEM!
You are a JEON, and jeons don't roam behind others like stray dogs. Think about the position of the company.
So here's it jungkook, LISTEN ME WITH ALL EARS NOW... IF IT HAPPENED NEXT TIME I WILL NOT MIND TO SAY THAT I HAVE ONLY ONE SON AND I CAN HAVE EXPECTATIONS FROM HIM!"

I WAS LOST.
IS IT THAT SHAMEFUL FOR HIM TO CALL ME HIS SON?
I.... I was able to detect jimin eyes, full of shock, on me.
And i don't have the courage to even raise them.

"And you jimin, how many times I have to tell you... To throw away those cheap feminine accessories."

"I.... Will throw them away, appa."

"Now, go back to your rooms and study."

I left that place as soon as possible. It... Felt like my throat was choking. I was feeling too uneasy to even raise my head and look into those eyes full of expectations, expectations that act like a drug, drug that can kill a person from inside forever.
Expectations are scary.... They can either make you or break you.
And i am able to feel those cracks that are enlarging in my heart day by day, hour by hour, second by second....

We both finally arrived to the common room. Jimin sat on a chair besides the table, flipping the pages of the textbook in his hand. Whereas I stood alongside the window pane, having a look on the starry sky.

"Jimin...... Is it the so called 'LOVE' is like?" With that jimin glued his eyes on me. ".... If this is called LOVE, then I wish not to live anymore."

"Hy... yung" He let out a painful breaking voice... Feeling the pain, eyes full of water.

"I tried.... Tried a lot.... But, I can't. I don't wanna be someone great like appa. I always wanted to follow my passion, my dream to become a footballer.... But unfortunately, I guess, it's too late to realize that for... Them (sniff) a PASSION CAN JUST BE A HOBBY, BUT NOT A DREAM.
I HATE THIS WORLD, WHICH TAUGHT ME TO BE WHATEVER I WANTED TO BE, BUT WHEN WE GROW OLDER, IT TEACHES TO BE WHATEVER THEY WANT ME TO BE. Why.... Why??? The world is so double-faced." I didn't realize when hot tears started rolling down my cheeks. "I..... Wish th... That som... Someone will show me the way... To escape this nightmare. ... And... And show me.... The real me(sniff) meaning of lo... Love."

"HYUNGGG!!" jimin hugged me as I finally broke down. He is such an angel, my little brother.

Taehyung pov.
I sighed......
I was blankly staring at my screen with a cursor blinking on the blank white page.
I am trying to get some ideas but I am not able to.
So many things happened on the way back home.
What..... I don't know HOW?? AND WHAT??? thought of him being a good person.
GOOD MY FOOT!
HE IS THE MOST WORST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET.
I was never treated as bad as he did..... I just wanted to get to know each other.

But I don't know what he even started talking about.
He is such a short tempered brat.

I wish not to meet you again you ugly duck!

I finally stood up from my seat, in front of my laptop, and went to take a nap instead.
As my head was already so full..... I needed some time yo forget it.

I just removed my socks and slided under the blanket, eyes on the ceiling.

I wish tomorrow..... Will be a better day.

Jungkook pov.
I knocked jimin's door. Though the door was locked and there was no light peeping from the door, I knew he wasn't sleeping.
I was able to hear his heavy breathing with a couple of sniffs.

"Hey?.... It's... It's ok. If you want some time alone.... I will com--"

"Come in... (Sniff) hyung! " Jimin replied in a dull cracking voice and the door clicked open.

He was sitting on the wooden floor, with his back taking the support of the bed. Knees close to his chest, surrounded by his arms.
I took a place besides him, and was able to see the strokes of tears which were now dried on his flushed cheeks, eyes puffed blankly staring at the bead bracelet.

"You can keep it." The pair of eyes looked at me. I was able to sense a spark of hope.

His eyes numbed again and tears started pouring.

"I know how important that bracelet is to you...... But, hide it well."

"THANKS... (SNIFF) THANKS A LOT JUNG.. Jungkook (SNIFF) HYUNG!" a pair of hands held me tightly around my ribcage, head placed on my chest.

"Don't worry jiminie.... Everything will be alright,...... Soon." I patted his head in order to calm is running heartbeat.

"I tried hyung.... (Sniff) But now, now I am tired. Why....i... I think I am not capable enough to be his (sniff) son."

"You!.... You are an ANGEL jimin. This world... Is not capable to have you. Hyung will always be by your side!"

That night passed with very difficulties.
I was by jimin's side whole night patting his head until he drifted in deep sleep.

His heart his so sensitive. He can't.... Can't stay without him.

Why this world always tries to apart you from our beloved ones?

Why?
