His Brat || Taekook

11- Fan-Fiction?

It was another ordinary evening, Koo made himself more warm and snug by tucking the cozy blanket around his legs. The weather has turned a bit chilly lately, welcoming winter. The window was partially opened for the fresh air to fill in the room.

Kim's house was located in an elite area but their house was of moderate and ancient build, far different from modern luxurious mansions. Simplicity and Tradition were Kim's well-known and praiseworthy traits. Mrs.Kim's admiration for nature motivated her to nourish a garden that surrounds the house from all sides, making a perfect and amiable circle around the two-story building.

Koo's room was right in front of the area where there were a bunch of Sakura(Cherry blossom) trees.

A textbook, upside down, was placed on Koo's folded thighs, making it easy for him to read. Don't get confused, he wasn't reading the book because if he was then he must have known by now that the book was upside down. A phone was positioned in between the pages in which Koo was immersed mindfully. The book was for creating a perfect illusion that if any of his parents walked into the room, they would think that Koo was studying.

Koo's bed was set right at the center of the room, and a study table in the corner with a stack of books and papers, was unorganized. His bunny bag was thrown at the foot of the table. The small study lamp was turned on, illuminating the corner perfectly with its yellow light.

On the spur of the moment, the book was thrown off his lap that was hiding the phone and Koo squealed loudly rolling on the bed, clutching the device tightly to his chest. After twisting and tossing for a while, he sat up on his knees and stared at the screen with big shiny eyes, totally forgetting about the book. He bit his lower lip, a pretty shade of pink spreading on his cheeks and ears.

Koo was so deeply consumed by whatever he was doing on his phone that he didn't realize when two heads peeked into his room first and then entered ever so slowly and now two figures were standing behind him. Two pairs of eyes squinting at the screen trying to read the lines. So it was a book or so, Koo was reading on his phone.

Mr. And Mrs. Kim was watching Netflix downstairs when loud squeals reverberated through the upper hallway, demanding their attention. And here they were, holding their breath in and reading along with an oblivious koo. Their faces turned slightly red, it was an intimate scene where Alpha Taehyung was scenting his mate,,wait,, Alpha Taehyung! They held brief but meaningful eye contact.

"Ahemm,.." Mr.Kim fake coughed. Koo jerked up, hands losing hold of the device becoming clammy in a matter of seconds. His eyes widened to the point of coming out of their sockets as he looked behind slowly. Both his parents were standing tall over him with eyes full of questions.

"How is your revision going on, Koo." Mrs. Kim asked ever so sweetly, it hurt Koo's sensitive ears. He knew his momma was being faked by the way her lips formed into a thin line like a thread and her eyes were void of any certain emotion.

"A-Almost done." He stammered searching for the book with shaky hands. He has a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach that his parents knew his little secret. He shouldn't have indulged himself in the 'special reading session' at this hour. After finding the book under the messy folds of the blanket, he opened it and showed the pages to her that were left to review. The tips of his ears and cheeks were still rosy.

"Twenty minutes. Be prepared for the test." Koo nodded his head feigning enthusiasm and hunched over his textbook. Mrs.Kim signaled her husband to keep an eye over the boy with a lift of her eyebrow and exited Koo's room.

'why papa isn't moving to go after momma.' Koo thought side-eyeing his father subtly. Telepathy worked maybe and Mr.Kim took some steps back making koo's heart jump in joy but sadly he sat on the small sofa parallel to the bed. 'oh no, he is going to stay', Koo's upper lip puckered in a small pout as his eyes landed sadly on his phone. (The going-on scene in the book was so interesting, I think.)

'Need any help baby?" His papa who was observing Koo closely, asked.

"Yess..I have a question.." Koo faced his papa this time properly, looking up with his wide innocent eyes. His tongue glided over his lower lip to wet it as his papa gestured for him to go on. The question that was roaming in his head for last five mintues was giving him serious mental issues. He needed to feed his curious mind so badly.

"Do you know rainbow kiss? Can you tell me how it is done?" After hesitating and contemplating for some seconds, Koo jabbered. A fit of coughs, this time real ones, erupted out of Mr.Kim as he jerked up from the sitting position and "I th-ink, Jae is call-ing,,,

Koo kept looking at the way his papa left by, befuddled. He blinked his eyes rapidly, 'I think papa has no clue , that's why he left out of embarrassment.' he fell back to the headrest, thinking eyes casting towards ceilings. 'daddy is super intelligent, he knows everything, should I ask him? Momma might also know, after all she is a teacher, what if it is something where all colours of rainbow are used to kiss, or we go on rainbow and kiss, but how is it possible? uh Koo dummy, so stupid of you, you are alone now, let's continue reading, there must be explanation in next chapt '

"Koo are you done?," his momma's loud voice interrupted his stream of thoughts.

'omo, my test,'

"Five more minutes, " he shouted back with all his might.

" Make it quick and come down, the test will be verbal."

'verbal' Koo's eyes expanded as he flipped pages not knowing what to focus on. He hates verbal tests. He was screwed for sure. His momma loves him the most, and always protected him from taetae hyungie's wrath whenever he did create trouble, but in terms of his studies, she was excessively strict and uncompromising. He recited some words here and there shuffling through the pages almost tearing them apart.

"I bet, it was a fanfiction of tae bear." Mr.Kim dimmed the night light, 'I can't tell you what he asked me today,' he decided not to voice out Koo's absurd question.

" Undoubtedly, it was. But why would Koo read it? " Mrs. Kim was afraid to make assumptions. They were seated on their bed, Mrs. Kims head tucked under her husband's chin.

" That's the question but have you noticed Jae, Koo has been acting weirdly shy around tae bear lately? "Mr. Kim brushed his fingers through his wife's long silky hair.

She hummed in response, her eyes were droopy and tiresome. His brat of the baby had eaten his mind to the core today during the oral test. She was worried, Koo's exams were nearing and he was being so non-serious as always.

"At first I thought I'm delusional but we need to take the matter in our own hands now, we should discuss with tae as well. If Koo likes tae bear in romantic terms, I've no problem with it. "Mr. Kim declared.

Mrs. kim snapped her head up in a split second, shocked by his husband's words, "what about tae? You know how cruel he is sometimes to koo, punishing him for even over small things. And besides everyone thinks they are brothers. It's complicated Jun."

"They are not brothers by blood, everyone knows that."

" Let's just not assume anything yet, koo has a long way ahead to go, his studies are incomplete, his dream of becoming a professional dancer, relationship is not an option to look for him. Think about making him understand how precious his time is and how to invest it wisely, meaningfully. I can't allow him to ruin his life. This time of his life is golden, and we should guide and help him to walk on the right path." Mrs. Kim talked with a hint of strength in her voice that Mr.Kim stared at her feeling proud. He finally nodded, understanding and agreeing.

They both were rightly concerned for their baby's future and they will make sure, koo will not wallow in this sort of thing. He was too young to fall in love, to bear the pain that it brings along, to coddle in the pleasures of it. He was just seventeen.
