Hidden Secret

~[HOSEOK'S POV]~

When I get down, my dad is already waiting for me at the long dining table for breakfast and Taehyung is making himself busy by helping the maids to set up the table,oblivious to the fact that almost all of them are close to tears.

Maybe thinking about how much of their salary are going to be cut,which I assure you, not gonna happen.

Taehyung reappear again at the table, this time holding a jug of milk,smiling brightly.

My dad look up from the newspaper he's reading and I shoot him a questioning look at Taehyung's antic and he just shrug,looking as confused as I am.

I chuckle lightly at my dad.He probably try to stop him from serving us,but knowing Taehyung,I know he just can't accept a good deed without repaying it.

"Oh,Jhope," the blond gallop excitedly toward me and link our arms,pulling me to the table, "come,we've been waiting for you for ages,"

As I sit next to my dad who secured his place at the end of the table, he clear his throat and we both turn our attention to the elder.

"So son,what's the name again? I can't quite catch it,"

I hold myself back from rolling my eyes at my dad from the teasing and just shrug, "Nothing of your concerns.Don't wor.."

I am cut short as my dad butt in, "Hush Hoseok,I'm not asking
you,"

"Excuse me?"

"So tell me son,what did you call this brat over here?" He ignore me and put all attention toward Taehyung.

"B-but I'm your son,"

"Am I allowed to only have one son or what?" Dad ignore me and focus only at Taehyung.

The boy cackle and look back at him with his famous box-grin.

"Jhope.I call him Jhope,"

"That's a nice nickname,Taehyung.So I assume that Hoseok is your hope then?"

"I guess," he smile down sheepishly.

"Hmm, not a very good move but it's okay,"

"Dad, how could you.I'm your son here," I stress again.

"Did I say you're not?" I know that he's joking and I pretend to sulk,jutting my lower lip out.

"So what's yours?"

"Me?" Taehyung play with the chopstick in his hand and look down,like me,whom act pitiful, "Well,I don't have one,"

"Yet!" My dad quickly add,and turn to give me a warning stare.

"You young man,I'm very disappointed in you.How come you neglect the kindness that Tae gave you.I didn't raise you to be so snobbish and big headed,"

"What?I'm not," I fake a gasp and fire back, "And my head is nowhere near big,"

"You are to give him a sweet nickname,right now!"

"I already did,I call him Tae,"

"So am I,"my dad deadpan and I feel like crying.They gang up on me and I feel so alienated,IN MY OWN HOUSE!
