Brotherly Love

How Was I Supposed To Know You Are Here?

They were both silent, in truth they didn't want to but who is their mother? There is no way they are not going to press charges with her around "Taehyung what were you doing that this happened to your brother? If I am correct, you are possibly the one who took him to that party and then you leave him to fend for himself, how can you do that?" Jieun almost shouted at Taehyung.

"Mom, it was not his fault, I was the one that wandered off and if he hadn't looked for me when he did, we might be taking about a different matter now" Jungkook rushed to his defense.

"Really, so you are telling me now to clap for you? You went to a party with your brother and instead of sticking to his side, you went wandering off." His mother yelled at him again.

"Mom I was the one that got a little carried away in a game with friends, I should have had my eyes on him" Taehyung tried to defend him too and Jieun looked at the two of them, had she forgotten how they both behave? Shout on this one and the other will take the blame, shout on that one and the other one will still take the blame and it will go on and on like that till you get tired. She sighed and decided to drop the issue.

"You are lucky I didn't tell your dad, he would have been here already and guess how he would react if he had to leave his job to come here, trust me, you don't want to know" Jieun said.

And they both really don't want to know, their dad might be gentle and easy going, hardly engage in any argument, but you really don't want to see him angry.

Jungkook was discharged later in the day and they all went home but not without Jisoo apologizing to him again. They got home and Taehyung rushed up to his room to have a shower and Jungkook same while Jieun went into the kitchen to make dinner, she was planning to come back today anyway only that Taehyung's call hurried her up.

They all settled for dinner later in the dinning table, each silently eating their food when Taehyung broke the silent "I have to go back to school mom, classes started yesterday and I have already missed yesterday and today and also going to miss tomorrow."

"Oh" Jieun said "I'm sorry about that, guess I will book a flight for you tomorrow then or will you want to leave this night?"

He looked at Jungkook and noticed the moisture in his eyes and sighed "no, tomorrow will be better."

"I thought the same too" she looking at Jungkook "will you be leaving today or tomorrow too?"

"School is nearby, I can always go anytime" Jungkook replied.

"That's true. Well, guess I will call your dad and tell him you will be leaving tomorrow and Taehyung, you are not staying away for Christmas this year, understand?"

Taehyung smiled "without being told. I will be around mom."

"Good" Jieun replied. They finished the rest of the dinner in silent and Taehyung did the dishes. They all sat in the living room to watch the regular shows.

"Good night mom" Taehyung said after watching a favorite TV show "goodnight Jungkook" He stood up.

"Good night son."

"Good night" Jungkook replied and Taehyung climbed the stairs to his room.

Three minutes later, Jungkook said his own goodnight to their mom and went upstairs too. He thought about going to Taehyung's room but decided against it, their mom is around, he can't risk her knowing about them and moreover if Taehyung wants to see him, he will send for him or come to him. He walked into his room and just then, he felt a strong arm encircle his waist and another on his mouth to muffle his scream which truth be told, would have been loud without the hand on his mouth.
