A lie

part 26

---

Night in Taehyung's home came early than usual, Jungkook sitting on the table, as taehyung have called him for dinner. The delicious smell filling his nostrils.

As he sat on the table, taehyung's mother came with different types of food in her hand, she served the food to jungkook and taehyung who had just came and sat down beside them.

When jungkook bite for the first time, he couldn't stop himself going into the daydream. It was really delicious, he haven't had this delicious food before. Even the expensive and luxury food was nothing infront of this.

If you ask him, he was sick of the food made by the maids, seriously. The food made by taehyung's mother feel home.

"Thanks." He said after finishing.

Taehee laughed saying he don't need to thanks, for eating from his own home. Which jungkook didn't understand fully, and nodded.

Taehee took the dirty plates and went to kitchen, while taehyung was speaking on the phone. Even though it was first day of jungkook, he feel comfortable, unlike he feels in luxurious hotels.

Jungkook settled beside taehyung on the couch, taehyung telling him that he have been in contact with Min Yoongi, and told about jungkook's doing okay in here. They talked about some another things too. As they were talking, taehee came.

After the plates were cleared, Taehee settled on the couch, her warm gaze flickering between Taehyung and Jungkook, who were seated awkwardly across from her.

"Tae," Said taehee. "Yes eomma." "Have you settled Jungkook's necessary in your room?" Came the question from taehee, making taehyung's eyes widened knowing what is coming. Jungkook, though he didn’t understand the conversation, smiled politely, sensing the growing tension in the room.

Taehyung, however, recognized the look in his mother’s eyes—a mischievous sparkle that he had come to fear over the years.

"Huh ? U-Uh-," Taehyung shifted uncomfortably under taehee's glare.

"Did you? Or didn't?" She questioned, Jungkook sensed the tension, taehyung's face growing red.

"Actually eomma, I didn't-"

"You didn't ? Why ? Wh.. Don't he need his things ? Or.."

"Actually he-he is-"

Taehyung stiffened, dreading the direction of this conversation. “I thought I’d give him my room. And I.. I can sleep out here in the living room.”

"Oh my innocent son," Taehee laughed at puppy looking Taehyung. "You don't have to be shy from your eomma," she said teasingly, making taehyung confused, "I know you feel shy while sharing room with your boyfriend infront of your eomma, don't worry.. don't worry, I know the modern generation," Taehee laughed teasing, taehyung's eyes widened and face flushed.

Why my eomma makes things of her own. Oh god?

"Eomma it's not.. like that, actually.. He may feel uncomfortable, yet." Taehyung said giving little smile to confused jungkook.

“Uncomfortable?” Taehee echoed, feigning innocence and frowning.“Why? Why would he feels uncomfortable with his boyfriend?" Narrowed her eyes.

"You’re dating, aren’t you? Or have you been lying to me this whole time?”

Taehyung groaned inwardly, knowing he was walking into a trap. “No, Eomma, we’re... together,” he mumbled, feeling Jungkook’s curious gaze boring into him.

Taehee leaned forward, her expression softening. “Taehyung-ah, relationships are built on trust and intimacy. If he can't feel comfortable with you, how.. how will he feels comfortable living with you? If you can’t share a room with your boyfriend, how will you ever share a life together?”
