strict brother of teayung

ch 9

The next morning, Taehyung woke up to the soft glow of sunlight streaming through his curtains. He lay there for a moment, gathering his thoughts. The heaviness from the previous day still lingered, but he was determined to shake it off. He knew he couldn’t let the bully’s words get the better of him.

After getting dressed, Taehyung made his way downstairs, hoping to catch Jungkook and Noha before they left for the day. As he entered the kitchen, he found Noha preparing breakfast while Jugguk sat at the table, playing with his toys. Jungkook was sipping his coffee, scrolling through something on his phone.

"Morning, Tae," Jungkook greeted, glancing up with a smile. "Did you sleep well?"

Taehyung nodded, managing a small smile. "Yeah, I did. Morning, Noona," he said, turning to Noha, who looked up from the stove.

"Morning, Taehyung!" she replied cheerfully. "I’m making your favorite today—pancakes with extra syrup."

Taehyung’s heart warmed at the gesture. Despite the small twinge of hurt from the previous night, he appreciated how they always thought of him in little ways. He took a seat next to Jugguk, ruffling the boy’s hair as he played with his toy cars.

"Are you guys heading out early today?" Taehyung asked, trying to sound casual.

Jungkook nodded, setting down his coffee. "Yeah, Noha and I have a meeting later, but we’ll be back early in the evening. Do you have any plans for today?"

Taehyung thought about it for a moment. "I have classes, but nothing too exciting. Maybe I’ll go out with some friends afterward."

"That sounds nice," Noha chimed in, placing a plate of pancakes in front of him. "Just don’t overwork yourself. You should relax a bit too."

As Taehyung started eating, he couldn’t help but feel a slight pang. They were busy with their own lives, and while they clearly cared about him, the fear planted by his bully still gnawed at him. He pushed those thoughts aside, though, focusing on the warmth of the moment.

"Thanks for breakfast, Noona. It’s perfect," Taehyung said, his voice soft but genuine.

Noha smiled at him, pleased. "I’m glad you like it."

while Jungkook and Noha prepared to leave. Before heading out the door, Jungkook turned to Taehyung with a grin.

"Don’t forget about that ride you promised your friends in your new car," Jungkook teased.

Taehyung chuckled. "Yeah, I won’t. They’re still freaking out about it."

"Good," Jungkook said, patting Taehyung on the shoulder. "We’ll see you tonight, okay?"

"Yeah, see you guys later," Taehyung replied, waving them off as they left.

Once they were gone, the house felt quieter, but not as lonely as the night before. Taehyung took a deep breath, determined to make the most of his day. He still had people who cared for him, and that was enough to keep him moving forward.

After sometime
Later that day, Taehyung decided to visit his close friend Eunwoo. They hadn’t hung out in a while, and Taehyung was looking forward to some fun. When he arrived at Eunwoo’s house, he found his friend lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone.

"Yo, Tae!" Eunwoo greeted with a grin. "You’re just in time. I’ve got a crazy idea for tonight."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, already curious. "Oh? What’s the plan?"

Eunwoo’s grin widened as he leaned forward. "Let’s sneak into that new club downtown tonight. I heard it's wild, and we’ll have the best time ever."

Taehyung hesitated for a moment. The idea sounded tempting, especially after the stress of the past couple of days, but he knew there was one major issue. "That sounds fun, but… there’s no way hyung would ever allow me to go."

Eunwoo rolled his eyes playfully. "Come on, Taehyung. We’re not kids anymore. You’re a grown man, and it’s not like we’re doing anything bad. We’ll just go, hang out for a bit, and leave. hyung doesn’t need to know."

Taehyung bit his lip, thinking it over. He wasn’t one to break the rules, and sneaking into a club was definitely something Jungkook would frown upon. Jungkook was always protective, almost like a parent, and Taehyung knew he’d get in trouble if his hyung found out.

"But what if hyung finds out?" Taehyung asked, still unsure. "You know how strict he can be about stuff like this."

Eunwoo waved off the concern with a laugh. "He won’t find out unless you tell him. We’ll be in and out before anyone even notices. Besides, you deserve to let loose a little, Tae. You’ve been stressing too much lately."

Taehyung sighed, feeling the weight of the decision. Part of him wanted to be responsible, but the other part craved a bit of fun, especially with everything going on in his life. After a moment of internal conflict, he finally gave in.

"Alright, fine. Let’s do it," Taehyung said with a grin, feeling a rush of excitement.

Eunwoo’s face lit up. "That’s what I’m talking about! It’s going to be epic. We’ll meet up later tonight and head out."

Taehyung nodded, but deep down, there was still a lingering sense of guilt. He knew his hyung wouldn't’t be happy if he found out, but for now, Taehyung was determined to let go and have some fun with his friend.
