Fate's whisper

Act

Jungkook was rooted in the same place till he heared the car leaving the parking. He came to his senses, ran his hand through his hair, eyes not focusing anywhere.

'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What was I thinking? Why did I do that! Shit. Shit' he ran to his bedroom to change his clothes took his car keys and ran to the front door. He sat on the driving seat, ignited the engine that's when realization hit him, he don't know which hospital it was.

He pulled out his phone to call and ask someone, but he can't do that to taehyung God knows what will happen. He can't ask his dad, first because he would be on the way back and second he would ask why didn't taehyung tell him which will cause unnecessary confusions which can blow up the entire plan of his. He don't have Mrs. Kim's number and without anymore option he was held at the last resort,

"Hello seokjin-sshi? "

"Yes. Jungkook? "

"Umm, yes seokjin. Umm- I'm sorry for your loss" It was very awkward for him to have this conversation with the elder man. The line was completely silent, he don't want the elder to assume things about this marriage, but he has no other way,

"Seokjin-sshi? Ca-can you tell the hospital name?" He could literally feel the tension, the other person was very silent, he was going to talk again when,

"Seoul National"

And the line was cut off. Jungkook fucked up and he knows it, but he didn't take anything into his head. All he wanted was to be there, right now.
And jin on the other hand confirmed his suspection about his brother's marriage. He will have a serious talk with his brother after this.

The younger man didn't know how much he speeded to reach the venue. He reached the parking lot in half an hour. He stepped out of his car only to look at the elder's car which was parked beside his. He took some few deep breaths to steady his breath. He moved towards the receptionist to ask about the room number.

He was checked for details as Mr. Kim is a powerful man. He was then directed towards the waiting room.

He opened the door of the waiting room to look at Mrs. Kim who was sitting in a steel chair. Head supported on the wall behind her. Tears were flowing over her cheeks. He glanced downwards to see taehyung resting on his mom's lap. He was seemed to be sleeping.

He moved himself towards the women whose eyes didn't waver from him for once. He kneeled in front of her, tried to grip her hand with his own,
"Aunty-" He was shushed by her. She motioned towards taehyung's sleeping figure. She silently asked him to move the sleeping man to the couch placed in the other side of the room.

Jungkook was struck in the situation for a second before he gathered himself and slipped his hands under the knees and shoulded of the sleeping male and picked him up. Carrying taehyung was not an easy task, considering the elder was not light. But he can deal with that. He placed the sleeping male on the couch, covered him with a blanket. He took in the sight of the swollend face of the elder before turning towards Mrs. Kim.

This time Mrs. Kim didn't hold herself any more. She sobbed hysterically, that's when jungkook pulled her into a hug. He can't bring himself to look at the women in this state. It physically pains him.

"He- he left us son, left me, our children" She sobbed hard in his chest, he caresses her hair while trying to stop himself from crying.

"How-" No other words escaped his mouth. He wanted to know how this happened. He don't know how to ask them without creating any doubt. But he doesn't care anymore. He wanted to know.

"Tae didn't tell you? " She withdrew from his embrace. Jungkook couldn't look at her. He can't answer the question. "How would he, he didn't know till some weeks before your marriage. He didn't want our sons to know about this- " She hiccuped closing her mouth to avoid sobbing hard. That's when jin entered the room while talking to someone over the phone. His tired eyes met jungkook who don't know how to face the elder.

Jin looked at his mom, who was busy blabbering to jungkook about her husband. "He -he didn't wanted to make our babies worry for him, he didn't want them to be in distress, all he wanted was to make his sons happy" That's when jin decided to talk,

"Why mom? Why did you do this huh? Tell me mom! Even tae knew about dad. I'm his hyung ain't I? Then why?? We could have tried to save him mom" Hurt was visible by the way he talked.

"I don't know, i- no. He asked me to not worry you jinnie, I don't know. Bu- but we tried. We didn't stop. He was getting his treatment from the best doctor, I made him come from Belgium to treat him-but, " She hiccuped, " And tae, he-" She turned to look at jungkook who was staring the floor. She don't want to tell how taehyung came to know about his dad. She worried that it will cause any confusion in the life of her son.

"H-he overheard" There was the lie. She can explain to her son other time, but she can't mess up her son's life which her husband wanted with all his will.

That's when jungkook caught a sight of taehyung squirming on the couch through his peripheral vision. He looked ahead to notice Mrs. Kim's eyes on him. He took few steps back and stood on front of taehyung. The elder raised his head to lock his eyes with the younger.

He could feel the tiredness and hurt from the elder's look. And taehyung thought he found an ounce of guilt In the younger's eyes, but he averted his eyes away, his mind was playing tricks with him. It was all because of the tiredness.

He was pulled out of his thoughts, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and fisted his hands when he felt the younger sitting beside him and taking one of his hands in his. He raised his head to look at his mom's curious gaze on them.

Yes, it's all an act. Act. Fucking sick act.

Everyone in the room then heard a knock, and the doctor called them to finish some final procedures. And taehyung was the first one to dash out of the room to the direction of doctor followed by Mrs. Kim.

Jungkook was going to follow until he felt seokjin grabbed him by his shoulder. He bit his lower lip drawing blood out of them.

"You didn't know anything. Did you? "

"I-i "

"You don't know " It was a statement this time. "How could you, even I don't know till today. But tae knew it, he would have shared it with you if he loved you, but you didn't knew" It was another statement which made jungkook uncomfortable hearing taehyung didn't love him. He came out of his thoughts when jin left the room to join his brother and mom.

They finished all the procedures. The doctor asked them to move in another vehicle to avoid the media, but Mrs. Kim opposed the idea. She made way towards the ambulance which had her husband's body. She looked vulnerable so no one stopped her. The ambulance took off to their mansion, where all the arrangement were made by both the brothers.

Jin sat in his car, his eyes on jungkook whose gaze was fixed on taehyung who was standing on the adjacent side of the parking lot fumbling with his keys, dropping them more than three times, hands trembling and eyes shakey. It was when jungkook made way towards taehyung, jin left the lot.

"Taehy-"

"No-no not now jeon, i- I'm sorry for your loss today, y-you will get your deal, not now, leave me alone, I want to go to dad, I should meet him at home" He blabbered trying to open up the door without unlocking them.

"No it's n-"

"NO NO YOU STOP. I SAID I'LL GET YOUR DEAL BACK. I SHOULD MEET MY DAD. STOP WITH YOUR ACTS NOW, NO ONE WAS HERE ANYWAYS"

and that made jungkook utter the next words without thinking,

"Shut the fuck up and come with me in my car Kim. I don't want to disappoint my dad , he told me to stay with you and I don't want to break his trust by leaving you alone to go and crash on a fucking tree, I don't want to loose my dad's trust for you. So stop with your fucking hell and follow me without questions" And hell he regretted the words, but no use. They escaped his mouth. No way to get them back.

"O- oh y-eah i- I'm sorry, you should not disappoint your dad, ye-yeah let's go, I'm sorry for thinking selfish, we still have people to maintain our act, s-sorry sorry" With that he moved to the adjacent car which was already unlocked by the younger. He sat in the passenger seat bringing his knees up on the seat rocking back and forth.

"FUCK! "

they speeded towards the mansion.
