BENEATH THE MOONLIGHT-TAEKOOK┃MEANIE

5. The night

Mr. Jeon is definitely making a mistake, putting himself at risk. Something doesn't feel right, I don't trust Taehyung, and I've got to keep an eye on him.

Mingyu drove them to Jungkook's house. Taehyung's jaw dropped seeing his huge mansion .The house is massive, standing tall with a modern style and surrounded by some nice greenery. He was greeted by big rooms with fancy furniture.

"I somewhat knew you were rich, but I didn't expect it to be this rich. Do you live here alone?"

Jungkook, checking his phone, completely avoided the question while Mingyu chimed in,
"He lives with his brother."

Taehyung noticed Jungkook's expression change when Mingyu mentioned his brother.

"You're going to live in the room upstairs. When you live here, you have to follow the rules of this house," Jungkook gave Mingyu a look, indicating him to list the rules. Mingyu came forward and handed over the bags.

"You can't touch Mr. Jeon's personal belongings without permission.
You can't invite people over without my approval.
You can't smoke inside the house.
You can't play loud music.
You can't rearrange the furniture without consulting me.
You can't interrupt Mr. Jeon during work hours unless it's an emergency.
And most importantly, there is another room upstairs and YOU CAN'T GO NEAR OR ENTER THAT ROOM." He concluded.

"Wait, is there something that I CAN do here?"

"Yes," said Jungkook. "You CAN cook, clean the house, and take care of Bam."

"What? Cooking and cleaning? Me? And who the hell is Bam?"

"You should mind your words," Mingyu intervened. "Bam is Mr. Jeon's dog."

"Why should I do it? Don't you have servants for that?"

"Then what will you do about the rent? You said it yourself that you will pay me with something else, remember? So, this is how you'll pay your rent. If you're up for it, you can go to your room and unpack, and if you're not, you can leave now," said Jungkook with an evil smile on his face.

"Wow, so I dug my own grave. What choice do I have now? I'll cook, clean, and take care of your fu...." Mingyu gave him a terrifying glance. "I mean your funny-loving dog...I will take care of it." He gave Mingyu a sly, teasing grin.

"I would like to add one more rule to the list," Mingyu and Taehyung looked at Jungkook. "You can't curse in this house."

"Whatever..."

Their conversation was abruptly halted by a phone call, and Jungkook answered it. He seemed a bit uncomfortable after the call. Turning to Mingyu, he said, "That boy, he is causing trouble again. Go get him home before he causes more problems."

Mingyu hurriedly left before Jungkook could finish his sentence. Jungkook, visibly uneasy, retreated to his room. Taehyung climbed the stairs to his room, sat down, took his phone, and began recording,

"Hi Mom, How are you? Do you want to hear a happy news? You know what we've been waiting for two years? Guess what- I did it, I finally made it here."

Groove Haven, the club in the heart of the city, was alive with the music thumped through the air. Over in one corner, there was a whole crew enjoying themselves, toasting and chatting and in the other a couple was deep in conversation, sipping on something fancy. Right by the DJ, this lone dancer was putting on a show, totally in the zone. And up in the VIP area, a group of youngsters were having fun,

Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss

"Here we go", Wonwoo locked lips with a random guy from the crowd. The cheers continued as the group drew lots again.
"I'm the king" said a man in the group, "and I want......number 7 to strip"
Wonwoo checked his lot, "Number 7... me again?"
"Why? Don't you dare to?"

Wonwoo, with a mischievous smile, began to dance. As the bass thumped louder, he slowly took off his shirt. The man joined him, their movements synchronized in the dim glow of the club lights. As they continued their dance, the man slowly pulled Wonwoo for a kiss. Before Mingyu could process the situation, a sudden punch disrupted the rhythm, and the man was thrown back.

"Wonwoo!"

Wonwoo turned to see Mingyu, and without a word, Mingyu grabbed his hand, urging him out.

"Do you have any idea about what you are doing? Yelled Mingyu.

"What I do is my business, and does he still pay people to stalk me?" Wonwoo looked deep into his eyes, "and you, stop acting like you care about me."

"Mr. Jeon cares about you; he doesn't want you to be in trouble. That's why he's always keeping an eye on you. And about me, I don't care about you. I just don't want any trouble for Mr. Jeon and the company. That's my job."
Wonwoo's eyes filled up with tears; he struggled to hold them back.

"If he truly cares about me, ask him to stop stalking me, to start talking to me like before. And you, you don't care about me? Then what about this? You don't care about this too?"
He pulled Mingyu closer, closing the gap between them for a kiss. The moment was unexpected, their lips met in a soft collision, a moment that lingered longer than expected. Mingyu, wide-eyed, pushed back gently, a mix of shock and confusion on his face. As they separated, their eyes met.

"I'll be in the car, come when you're sober." Mingyu turned and walked towards the car, leaving Wonwoo. He stood there, with the thumping music and vibrant lights of the club swirling around him, but in that moment, he felt a numbing silence. Wiping away his tears, he took a deep breath, attempting to compose himself amid the chaos.

The night air hit his face as he walked towards the car and each step felt heavier than the last. His heart continued to ache, and the distant sound of music and laughter served as a stark contrast to the internal storm raging within him. As he reached the car, he hesitated but eventually got in. A few moments of silence passed until Wonwoo broke it.

"What does hyung have that I don't?"

"Huh?" Mingyu looked at him shocked and confused.

"I know you love him....."

The drive back was filled with a heavy silence, broken only by the distant hum of the city. Wonwoo stared out of the window, lost in thought, the club's neon lights fading into the distance.
