When His Eyes Opened- TK

Chapter 115

Nic's previous run-in with loan sharks had forced Junghoon to cough up a huge sum of money.

“Since Jungkook's offering, just accept it!” Junghoon's wife, Lisa, chimed in. “We’re all family here. There’s no need to be so formal with Jungkook.”

Junghoon's face turned crimson. He picked up the check and said, “You don’t need to do this again, Jungkook.”

“I’m done eating,” Jungkook said. “I’ll leave now.”

Jenna got up and sent him off.

Once they were out of the house, Nic's fork fell heavily onto the floor.

“Dad! Why did you take his money?!”

He felt humiliated.

He hated being treated like charity.

“How dare you, you spineless piece of sh*t?!” Junghoon roared furiously. “Return to me all the money that I had spent to discharge your loans if you can!”

Lisa joined her husband in chastising her son and said, “Your uncle may look down on us, but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t accept free money! Do you know how much he just gave us? Eight hundred thousand dollars! Your dad’s company wouldn’t even be able to make that much in a year!”

“Are our finances really that bad?” Nic asked with bloodshot eyes.

“What did you expect? Most of our customers only work with us as a favor to your uncle. They stopped working with us during the second half of the year…” Lisa sighed. “It’s a good thing for you that Sana has no clue as to our situation. I’m afraid she won’t be rushing to take care of you if she finds out we’re barely getting by.”

This was a huge blow to Nic.

His injured hand clenched into a tight fist, but he felt no pain.

He had been living in his own fantasy the entire time.

Now that the walls of that dream world were crumbling, he had no choice but to face the cruel reality.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Jungkook's birthday party.

Taehyung woke up early in the morning, checked on the gift he prepared, then began to get ready for the day.

On the other side of the city, Jungkook was taking out a t-shirt from his closet.

It would not be convenient to wear a sweater over a button-down shirt.

What if the sweater Taehyung made was fitted? He was clearly soo excited to wear the sweater made by Tse for him, only him.

Jungkook and Taehyung arrived at the restaurant at ten in the morning.

They were there early because Ye-jun had called them individually beforehand.

He had told them to hurry as the other party had arrived.

It was not until they had arrived did they realize that they were the only ones there.

Taehyung secretly gave Jungkook a once-over.

The bruises on his face had already healed, and he looked rather handsome.

He could not tell how his legs were doing since he was in his wheelchair.

He was dressed in nothing but a t-shirt and a light jacket.

As Taehyung was examining him, Jungkook was also inspecting him.

He was wearing makeup, but it did not cover the dark circles under his eyes.

It appeared that he had truly dedicated himself to knitting the sweater.

“I knitted a sweater for you… I wasn’t sure about your measurements so I made it a little bigger…” Tae said as he passed him the paper bag he was holding.

Jungkook lowered his gaze, took the bag from him, and pulled out the sweater.

It was a cream-colored sweater made from thick yarn, so it felt slightly heavy in his hands.

It would probably feel extra warm on him.

He took off his jacket and put the sweater on in front of him.

Taehyung's cheeks flushed slightly.

Not only did Jungkook not find his gift lame, but he had also chosen to wear it the moment he gave it to him. “Happy birthday, Jeon Jungkook.”
