Veil of Shadows

Chapter 17 :- popularity and jealousy

As the weeks went by, Taehyung’s popularity among his students grew even more. Students would often call him after school, asking for help with assignments or to clarify doubts. Taehyung, always dedicated to his job, happily obliged. He believed in being available for his students, and helping them made him feel fulfilled. However, this didn’t sit well with Jungkook.

Jungkook’s possessiveness started to grow each time Taehyung’s phone rang with a student’s number flashing on the screen. He couldn’t help but feel irritated, knowing these students were trying to get closer to his Taetae. Even though Taehyung reassured him that it was just work, Jungkook’s jealousy was spiraling out of control.

One evening, as Taehyung was sitting on the couch, explaining a math problem over the phone, Jungkook snapped.

Jungkook (sharply): "How long is this going to continue? It’s every night now, Tae."

Taehyung glanced up at Jungkook, sensing the tension, and mouthed an apology, holding up a finger to signal he'd be just a minute. But Jungkook wasn’t having it. His possessiveness had hit its peak.

Jungkook (sternly, after Taehyung ended the call): "I don’t like this, Taehyung. These kids are using ‘doubts’ as an excuse to get close to you. I’m telling you, quit this job."

Taehyung sighed, knowing where this conversation was headed. He loved Jungkook with all his heart, but this was about more than just their relationship. Being a teacher was Taehyung’s dream, something he had worked hard for. He couldn’t give it up, not even for Jungkook’s jealousy.

Taehyung (calmly): "Kookie, I understand how you feel, but I’m not quitting. This job is important to me. Being a teacher is my dream, and I’m not going to leave it because you’re feeling insecure."

Jungkook’s jaw tightened. His emotions were spinning out of control. He didn’t want to argue, but the possessiveness, the fear of losing Taehyung to someone else—even if it was irrational—was overwhelming.

Jungkook (frustrated): "You don’t get it, Tae. I can’t stand them calling you all the time, trying to get closer to you. It’s driving me insane!"

Taehyung reached out to touch Jungkook’s arm, trying to calm him down, but Jungkook pulled away. Without another word, he grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the house, leaving Taehyung standing there in shock.

Jungkook didn’t know where he was going. All he knew was that he needed to escape the storm of emotions raging inside him. He ended up at a club, hoping the loud music and alcohol would drown out his thoughts.

Drink after drink, Jungkook’s mind clouded with alcohol, but the jealousy still lingered. He thought about Taehyung, about the students, about how much he hated seeing anyone else take up Taehyung’s time.

By the time he left the club, he was completely drunk, barely able to walk straight. His mind was a mess of jealousy, anger, and regret. Somehow, he made it back home, stumbling through the door, his body swaying as he tried to make sense of his surroundings.

Taehyung, who had been worried sick, immediately rushed to him, his face filled with concern.

Taehyung (softly, but worried): "Kookie… what happened to you?"

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, his eyes red from alcohol and frustration. He swayed on his feet before slumping into Taehyung’s arms.

Jungkook (slurring, but emotional): "Tae... I'm sorry... I... I just can't... I can’t stand the thought of anyone else having you. You’re mine... only mine."

Taehyung held Jungkook close, his heart aching at seeing Jungkook in this state. He knew Jungkook’s possessiveness came from a place of love, but this wasn’t healthy.

Taehyung (whispering, holding him tightly): "Kookie, I’m yours. You don’t need to worry. But you can’t let this jealousy control you."

Jungkook buried his face in Taehyung’s neck, his voice breaking as the alcohol took over.

Jungkook (whimpering): "Don’t leave me, Taetae... please. I love you so much… it hurts."

Taehyung sighed softly, stroking Jungkook’s hair.

Taehyung (soothingly): "I’m not leaving, Kookie. I love you too. But you have to trust me, okay?"

Jungkook nodded weakly, his energy fading as the exhaustion from the night’s events caught up with him. Taehyung guided him to the bed, helping him lie down.

As Jungkook drifted off to sleep, Taehyung sat beside him, deep in thought. He needed to find a way to help Jungkook feel secure without letting this possessiveness spiral further. He loved Jungkook too much to let this destroy them.

But for now, all he could do was watch over Jungkook, hoping tomorrow would bring a new beginning.
