I Need You ⚣ TK

Chapter ten: why are you here?

^Look how happy Kookie is by playing with Tae's hair^

Hey guys! Another update again! Probably halfway through as my stories aren't usually much longer/shorter than 20 chapters (I wouldn't really know since I haven't written it done lol), so I doubt this one will be, but we'll see. I hope you're not too disappointed (haha). Have a nice read, and don't forget to vote & comment my lovelies. Have a lovely day/good night everyone .xx *

The moment Taehyung entered his home, a sudden flash of worry hit him. He didn't know why or for what reason but he could feel something was wrong, and that something might happen – or already had. His thoughts went back to Jeon Jungkook. Maybe it was the thought of his patient he was worrying this much? Maybe he shouldn't have left him there alone where the boy would be defenceless.

At the speed of lightning, Taehyung quickly searched for Jungkook's files in the little office he had at home, found the house number and quickly dialled it with his phone.

"Hello?" greeted a light voice Taehyung recognised to belong to Mrs Yoo.

"Good evening Mrs Yoo. I'm sorry for calling this late, but I'd like to speak with Jungkook please," he requested.

The woman had paused that Taehyung thought for a second the call was cut, but Mrs Yoo started speaking again. "I'm sorry but he already went to bed," she said.

Taehyung didn't believe it for a second. "Okay, thank you," he said before saying his goodbyes and hung up the call.

Although the supposedly nice lady told him her foster son had gone to bed, Taehyung couldn't say he knew otherwise; Taehyung didn't believe Jungkook would go to bed this late unless he pretended so, but they hadn't even had dinner; Taehyung was sure of that.

Taehyung grabbed a quick meal as he wasn't too hungry, but figured he shouldn't skip a meal either. In the middle of his dinner, his best friend, Park Jimin, called. "How's it going Taehyung? Haven't heard of you in a few days," he asked.

Taehyung felt bad immediately. "I'm sorry Jimin," he apologised, "I've been a bit busy, but I promise I'll call and text more often."

He could literally hear Jimin's smile from the call. "Good."

This reminded Taehyung of Hoseok the other day. "Hey Jimin? Can I ask you something?" Taehyung asked.

"Sure," he replied with an obvious curious voice and waited for Taehyung to speak up.

"Have you heard anything about Hoseok? Or Yoongi might've heard?" he asked.

Jimin thought for a minute. "Like what? I actually haven't talked to him since we all met up the other day," he replied. "Is there anything wrong?"

"I'll tell you if you promise you won't tell anyone of the others, okay? Not even Yoongi."

Jimin signed in the other line. "Tough," he muttered, "but fine, I promise - just tell me already."

"All right, so yesterday I met Hoseok," Taehyung started, "I first suggested giving him a ride home since he was walking. Afterwards, I noticed he wasn't in his suits and he looked to have been in a fight. Have you heard anything about it? He refused to talk to me and even let me treat him, so he ran home. He said he'd call or text me, but I haven't heard from him yet," he explained.

Jimin was quiet for a moment before finally saying something. "I don't talk a lot with Hoseok, but Yoongi has been telling me he's struggling a bit lately. Struggling with money and people. It seems reasonable that he's been in a fight now and also probably doesn't want to say it to you."

"But why not," Taehyung sighed. "I can talk to him. I can help him. He should let me help him," he insisted.

He heard Jimin sigh again on the other line. "Can't you tell why?" he muttered. "He obviously doesn't want you to know about the bad side of him." 

The two boys ended up talking for quite some time. As they were catching up, Taehyung was washing the dishes, getting into his pyjamas, and even cleaned around before throwing his body on his bed. "I might fall asleep any minute, so I better hang up now buddy," Taehyung yawned.

Jimin yawned as well after listening to his friend. "Yeah me too", he said tiredly. "Goodnight mate."

"Goodnight." 

The doorbell made Taehyung jump in bed; he had fallen asleep after ending the call with Jimin, and now something woke him up.

The adult jumped out of bed sleepily and shambled towards the front door. When he opened it, his eyes went wide from surprise. "Jungkookie? Why are you here?" he asked amazed. He didn't even realise after he asked that the younger boy was crying and that his lip was bruised, and his left eye was flashing a dark unnatural colour that wasn't supposed to be there.

Quite a short chapter, but you'll live hehe. What do you think happened to Jungkook? And what do you think will happen with his visit to Taehyung? And I'm sorry, this chapter is a bit short, so I'll try to make the new chapter longer. Thank you for reading; I hope you enjoyed it .xx
