My Brother's Clone✔ [Taekook]

69. Surprise Birthday Party

6 Months later.

Jungkook's POV 

I feel uneasiness bubbling in the pit of my stomach as I park my car nearby Black Swan and unbuckle my seat belt.

 “Jungkookie, I feel so bad,” Tae says tilting his face to me.

“Baby, it's okay,” I say and lean forward, unbuckling his seat belt. He sighs, shaking his head.

The thing is actually, today is August 10. And currently, it's evening 3 pm and we are in front of our cafe Black Swan. Eunwoo and Gayoung are inside, and they are now gonna give Tae a small surprise birthday party. 

Both of them still doesn't know his birthday is not tomorrow. We haven't told them anything yet. The only people who know we got switched at birth are me, Taehyung, his parents, his older sister, her husband and lastly my Mom. 

Yes, we told my Mom. It was just two weeks after I went to his home. His Dad wanted to confess everything and apologize to my Mom as soon as possible. He was ready to face any consequences. So, we decided to arrange the meeting between them. Tae and I went home on the weekend after school reopened following sem break. His parents were to come and meet Mom on Sunday. 

When we told Mom on Saturday evening that his parents are coming to visit her, she was very much surprised and confused. In fact, she was feeling like something was fishy from the time I went to his home that midnight. His Mom had called her and talked to her asking her to let me stay for a few more days there. I ended up staying six days in total. And even on the sixth day, my biological parents were forcing me to stay for one more day. I don't know how I escaped from there. Tae didn't come back with me like we planned earlier. He hadn't started drawing the painting for the exhibition and he knew he wouldn't be able to even start it if he came back with me. Miss Do had so much expectation upon him.

Tae made his epic painting just in a week and submitted it for the exhibition. It was the image of a wrecking ship. I can’t describe about the painting in words, so I would just say it won the exhibition and went out for the inter school competition, winning Second prize from among 126 great paintings that competed. It was indeed a great victory for our school and our principal handed him the trophy and cash award in the assembly in front of everyone. Tae was asked to speak a few words about creating the masterpiece but he refused. My baby was too afraid to speak in front of everyone. But anyway, he became famous in school after that.

He couldn't have made it if he came with me to my home. Also, so that, he didn't have to face my Mom's numerous questions along with me. She was still a bit mad at me and a lot confused when I came back from Tae's home. Cause which parents would make their son's boyfriend stay at their house for six days after they first meet him? That's strange, right?

Although Mom was really puzzled about Tae's parents' sudden visit to her, she never thought they would give her such a shock. My Mom was heavily shocked that day. I've never seen her in such a condition before. At first, she couldn't believe anything. She chuckled at my biological parents, saying we are all together pulling a prank on her. 

But as they kept on looking at her guiltily, she was scared to the core. She couldn't believe her eyes as they showed her Dohan's pics. She looked at us and she was more afraid seeing my and Tae's nervous faces. Eventually, she came to the realization that everything they said is true. And her whole body was shivering from the shock. She couldn't say anything. She went numb. 

She sat still like that blankly staring at Tae for at least five minutes, making us all scared. And then she suddenly exploded into tears and shoutings. She almost went violent, just like how Tae became violent that day when I barged into his room and caught him cutting his arms after Hyunwoo and Namra tore away his portrait. No, Mom was even worse than that. I've never in my life seen her that angry and mad, even in my childhood while Mom and Dad were having worse fights.
