New Horizons

part 26

A few more days have passed. Everything has gone back like it was before. Taehyung has again taken his role as a wife who is only here to fulfill his duty. But there is still some difference. Before when they were awkward he didn't have any deep relationship with his husband - they were like strangers. But now the awkwardness has increased a hundred times that taehyung refuses to breathe alone in the same air as Jungkook. He gets weirded out just even thinking what kind of coward b*tch he got in his life.

That's life when he feels too broken he doesn't leave any curse for Jungkook. The man definitely deserves it for breaking his hope.

Another difference is that before he had a really good and comfortable relationship with his mother in law but definitely everything is ruined now. He is respectful as always but can't really be free and comfortable with her anymore.

Sometimes Taehyung sits alone in the garden and thinks about how two children ruined his new life too. He was really happy!

It's morning and taehyung is inside the kitchen, doing his usual duty- cooking for his useless husband. He is silently doing his work and other maids are doing their own work. Sometimes he insists to cook for his in laws too but his mother in law said he doesn't need to cook as they have maids. She even asked taehyung multiple times saying he doesn't need cooking for Jungkook too- but taehyung knows his duty well.

Taehyung puts down the ladle next to the cooker and serves the foods from the pan to  bowls and walks to the dining space. Jungkook still isn't here. Most probably he will come down with his children. Taehyung sits on his chair silently while waiting for him. In between he greets his in-laws with a small polite smile. They exchange some random conversation while taehyung pretends everything is okay.

Soon Jungkook comes down with his children laughing with them about something. As soon as his eyes match with taehyung his big smile vanishes and stares at his wife with a very small smile that has gone unnoticed by taehyung. Soon he looks down from taehyung's eyes. He feels guilty, nervous around his wife. His heart pains when he remembers whatever disaster happened in their life which they started with new hope.

Taehyung also looks away from his eyes. His heart clenches seeing how big smile he had with his wife but vanished in front of him.

Jungkook sits on his usual chair and Minho and seojin sit on his two sides. They start talking among them while taehyung pushes the food bowl near Jungkook's plate. He doesn't serve the man by his hand. He doesn't have the will to do it.

Jungkook really wishes taehyung would serve him like before. But he can't do anything when the opposite happens. Also taehyung isn't beside him like before he used to sit. So no way of serving him.

Jungkook serves himself the food and again pushes the food toward taehyung. They both share the same food. Taehyung just puts extra roasted salt inside his food while eating.

Taehyung finishes his food hurriedly and leaves the house.

Taehyung sits on the teacher's lounge after taking 3 classes back to back. Being a kindergarten is really hard and tiring. Because they need to yell and control bunches of 5 to 12 years old for straight 4 to 5 hours. It drains lives out of the teachers.

He drinks water from his water bottle and puts his head on the table tiredly. Today he yelled at two students from grade 4. He caught one boy throwing a letter at a girl. Taehyung was giving lecture that time and he caught them. He snatched the letter from the girl's hand and he swore he fell from the sky. It was a freaking love letter. Then it was a big chaos.

"I can't believe this generation is getting into  relationships this early!" His one of his colleagues speaks in disbelief.

Taehyung shakes his head with a chuckle. Students these days are really unbelievable.
