The Love We Desire

Part-2

Tae woke up as soon as his alarm rang, he knew he has duties before going school so he have to wake up on time, he gave medicine to his grandma, made morning breakfast,do the house chores and laundry then get ready for school. Some days are normal but some are hectic due to his Grandma's Dementia. After school he work as a sales person in a department store then he went home complete his homework and again get ready for his bar job, he reached home nearly 12 or 1 am in the morning. He is only 17 and to be frank it's a lot to do for a 17 year old but as if he has a choice?

He doesn't have any friend to talk because of his background nobody wants to befriend him. Some days are fine but some days he just felt so alone and so exhausted, in only few years his life taught him about the cruel world but never let anything to stop him, Tae always smile whenever he is near his grandma.

The night club job was okay at first but as time goes by the manage asked him to serve in VIP rooms as a experienced worker but few customers tried to touch him few times so he told his manager that he is not comfortable with the VIP serving but The manager scolded him and told him that he have to do what's being told or else they'll kick him out.
Tae has many responsibility at the moment and if they kick him out he will be in a bigger mess so he stayed quite for the time.

It's Saturday night and of course the weekend makes it more crowded and Yugyeom forced Jungkook to come to the party, yugyeom is married but as his wife is out of town it's his time to enjoy some time with his friend.

Jungkook is not the person to visit club or bar, he spend his 20s in his office and he never saw the need to enjoy like this. For him whenever he cracks a deal or the work output was great he treat his family with dinner and that is what he called enjoyment when his family is happy he is the happiest.

" Yug i told you I don't want to come why did you drag me here it's too loud"
" Brother you don't know the actual fun I am here to make sure you enjoy at least tonight" Yug planned something actually someone to set up with Jungkook, he wants his buddy to settle down which kook is not interested so he didn't tell Jungkook and just took him in the club.

" Hi yugi how's you I was waiting you know" Eunwoo said actually he is Jungkook's and Yugyeom's college mate and since college He likes Jungkook but kook doesn't know anything about this.

" I just came woo, look who's here "
" Hi Jungkook, I am Cha Eunwoo we were classmates in college you remember?"
" Of course, I heard about you recently your startup is doing very well in business market, it's great to meet you"
Yug was again pissed why kook always have to put business in everything!
" Kook let's not talk about business today, you two talk I am coming with drinks"
They were sitting on VIP launch area, Jungkook was not sure that Eunwoo coming here today was a planned meeting or coincidence as he saw the said man looking at him time to time and trying to start a conversation.
" So how's life going Jungkook?" Eunwoo asked " It's pretty much same, work and family that's it, I don't like visiting clubs and all the loud music and these drunk people makes me sick, how can they forgot everything just after few sips?"
Eunwoo chuckled and said," You are still the same Jungkook, maybe you just want a day like them when you can forget everything and live freely just for a day."
" No never I am here today because I never forget what I want for my family, that is the reason my family is living a comfortable life without any worry, I never forget the time we had to starve and have only one time meal just to survive."
" But you survive and here you are, now don't you think you should think about yourself too?"
" Myself, what do you mean? I am happy with life I don't see the need of anything else."
" What about love Jungkook? Don't you want someone to hold you when you have bad days, dont you need someone to be by your side whenever you feel alone?"
A big sigh left kook's mouth
" It's not that I haven't tried,I tried to date but it's all just felt too wrong that I had to quit, it's not that I don't need someone it's just that I didn't found the one I need."
There's a long pause in between their talk but it was a comfortable silence, both felt it the string between them, Jungkook saw how Eunwoo's eyes were only on him the entire time.
" Jungkook let's share each other's number we can talk as friends right if you are comfortable."
Jungkook didn't think of anything and just said 'Okay' to Eunwoo, he is a good guy so there's no harm in talking right.

They were sitting in the VIP area that's when Tae came there to serve drinks for their table.
"Sir your drinks" Tae said
Jungkook was just looking at the innocent face of Tae, he get the idea of Tae being underage and When Tae was leaving their Chamber Kook follow him. He just wanted to talk with the younger, he felt the need to protect Tae, it was just a intuition that he was having as Tae looked like a baby and underage. He wanted to know the real reason behind the work he is doing instead of studying.

Now there's a lot of kids like Tae lives in our society but for Jungkook he just saw the boy and wanted to protect him from every bad thing, maybe it was just a brotherly concern that kicked in, maybe because he saw his brother's struggling on a young age and just remembered those period looking at the boy.

Eunwoo saw Jungkook leaving the area but before he could ask anything Jungkook left the area leaving a confused Eunwoo behind.
