Ch 9 | A Familiar Face

He arrived back home feeling sluggish and down, the events reoccurring that day put him in the worst mood possible.

As he opened the door, footsteps were heard running down the stairs and his brother was staring at him from the staircase with an annoyed expression. He folded his arms and waited for him to place his bag and phone down on the small coffee table near the sofa.

"You're home early." He said.

He jumped in fear.

"Don't scare me like that." He shouted.

"Or what?" His brother chuckled under his breath took the final steps down the stairs and stared at him from behind as he was taking a few things out of his bag.

"Just stop trying to cause an argument." He sounded annoyed and scoffed while walking upstairs, not turning back to look at his irritated brother behind him.

"Taehyung, come back here! I haven't finished speaking to you yet!" An astonished expression made its way onto his face and he walked up the stairs, following his younger brother who slammed the door behind him.

As he made his way upstairs, he saw the door locked and sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

With defeat, he walked back down the stairs with anger in his eyes.

-

"Yeah, I know like how dare he?" Taehyung couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his own older brother in front of him.
"Why did he show himself now? Who does he think he is coming here now?"

"I know! The audacity!" He complained whilst lying down on his bed and speaking to Jungkook on a phone call.
"He hasn't shown up for months and suddenly he arrived without notice! He could've at least told me he was gonna be back today!" It bothered him too much to listen to Jungkook on the other end.

"Well I gotta go, I'm busy." Without another word spoken, he ended the call and held the back of his hand on his forehead, closing his eyes and resting there.

He heard footsteps at the other side of the s door and knew immediately who it was, but did not respond and just sat there in silence waiting for him to knock and break the silence.

Knocking...

Taehyung knew answering him would be pointless anyway, he never had anything nice to say to him so why should he open the door and meet with him face to face?
He rolled over onto his side covered his face with the blanket and attempted to block out the gentle knocks heard from the other side of the door.

"Answer the door goddamn it..!" He knocked louder and harder, but nothing would make him answer the door and he was just left there feeling hopeless.
