I Need You ⚣ TK

Chapter twenty-one: are you by any chance adopted?

❀~~~~❀~~~~❀~~~~❀ 

"Good night Jimin hyung."

Just as Jungkook turned around, Taehyung was almost all up in his face. "Did you say hyung?" he smirked as he attacked the younger with a hug again. Jungkook didn't even bother to answer and just helped to guide Taehyung towards the bedroom.

As he thought the male would let go of him when he put him down on the bed, he was wrong and was dragged down as well on top of the elder male. 

Taehyung didn't mind at all as he wrapped his legs around Jungkook's waist and started kissing him again. 

"H - Hyung, you taste alcohol," the younger whined. But he still wanted to kiss him. He also did, but he jumped away as soon as Taehyung started touching him again. "Stop it now Taehyung, go to sleep," he demanded, ignoring his whining. "If you don't go to sleep now I'll go and sleep on the sofa," he threatened, which made Taehyung stop whining immediately and pretend like he had fallen asleep right on the spot. 

Jungkook started chuckling as his lover's adorableness and lay down on the bed after stripping from his jumper and trousers. Jungkook's body was finally healing; Taehyung brought Jungkook to the doctor earlier this week and luckily there weren't any serious injuries, only lots of bruises that weren't healthy for the body but he hadn't gained any diseases. 

After not being home for over than a week, Jungkook's body was showing much improvement, which made him incredibly happy and relaxed. He almost didn't feel most of them anymore.

"Boom!" Taehyung suddenly yelled, startling Jungkook a bit as he was lost in his own thoughts. "I tricked you! I wasn't actually asleep," he cackled, which brought a huge smile on Jungkook's face and a softy chuckle after witnessing a rare cuteness from the elder as he didn't like showing it too often when sober. 

A dark moan escaped Taehyung's mouth as he woke up. He wanted to open his eyes, but the headache was no joke. Taehyung hadn't really been that drunk before; the most alcohol he had drunk before was one glass of beer, no more. Yesterday, however, he drank much more than that, he could tell. Taehyung's body didn't handle alcohol well and drinking more than he did (at the rare time he'd actually drink) nearly killed his head the day after.

"Hyung?" Jungkook said carefully as the boy peeked through the door. Taehyung raised up his head to see what the boy wanted to say. "I made you some soup for your hangover," he nearly whispered, as if he had to be careful around the elder. 

Taehyung didn't know why though. Had he done something weird yesterday? He couldn't remember much after when Jungkook left for the toilets, which he remembered took forever. Or was it just he?

"You did?" Taehyung was surprised that the younger knew how to make that soup. "You know how to make a hangover soup?" he asked when he spotted the bowl by the kitchen table, confirming Jungkook did indeed make it.

"I looked it up with your phone," he blushed. Taehyung had already given Jungkook the password on his phone so he'd access it too so he'd know Taehyung didn't hide any more secrets and since the boy didn't have a phone himself, he wanted them to share his.

In the middle of their breakfast, the doorbell rang. Taehyung slightly jumped a bit, not ready for the sudden loud noise that echoed through the apartment. 

He groaned as he lifted his body up and made his way slowly towards the front door with his hand on his forehead, in hope it'd stop the pain; the younger was also following behind curiously. Taehyung didn't bother to check in the peephole and just opened the door, and it made his eyes widen twice the size of the sight. 

"Hoseok?" he gasped surprised. Jungkook was secretly watching in the background as the two males hugged in their greeting. "You really stopped by!" Taehyung nearly yelled, as if his hangover was suddenly cured. Jungkook couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of how Taehyung's friend had made such a sudden change in just a few seconds and just by making his appearance.

"Of course, I said so," the other male smiled. Before Taehyung had plans to invite the male inside, he had already spotted the younger inside with a frown drawn all over his face. "You are...". Taehyung judged what Hoseok was about to be a question, but when Jungkook heard how the stranger male said it, it almost sounded like he was about to say his name on his own. 

That's when Taehyung regained his senses and stepped to the side so the two strangers would see each other clearly. "Right, this is Hoseok, my friend I had told you about," Taehyung told Jungkook, and then he smiled towards Hoseok, "and this is my friend, Jungkook. He needed a place to stay for the current time and I let him stay in the meantime."

Jungkook had never expected Taehyung to introduce him as something more than a friend – and he was happy he didn't say patient, because seriously, he hated that – but it still kind of bothered him. 

Hoseok was just a close friend of his, what would that matter? He wouldn't go tell on then to the cops, now would he? Not if he was a real friend that was. And Jungkook was definitely sure that he was more irritated about that because there was a pretty big chance Hoseok did, in fact, fancy Taehyung and it bothered him. Just having the idea of believing Hoseok fancied his boyfriend and believed he was still single made his blood boil. 

His anger and jealousy didn't get the best of him and he politely introduced himself to his secret boyfriend's friend. "Hello, I'm Jeon Jungkook and I currently live with Taehyung," he introduced himself sweetly. Hoseok also smiled in his way, but Jungkook could tell Hoseok didn't enjoy his company too much. He probably wants to be with him alone, he thought to himself.

Taehyung had invited Hoseok inside, but Jungkook couldn't shake off the bad feeling he had around from Hoseok. The male wouldn't stop staring at him and it made him incredibly uncomfortable.

Finally, Taehyung went to the restroom and Jungkook grabbed the opportunity to finally speak up to the impolite boy. "Excuse me for saying this, but do you have a problem with me?" he manned up and asked with a frown.

Hoseok flinched for a moment but regained his senses. "I'm sorry," he apologised, but his stare didn't wipe off. "I'm sorry for asking something privately, but I'm hoping for an honest answer: are you by any chance adopted?"

Jungkook almost dropped his jaw, but quickly pulled himself together.

"I...am," he hesitatingly said. "Why are you asking?"

"N - No reason," the male stuttered and Taehyung finally reappeared again, rescuing the nervous visitor.

"Are you hungry?" he asked whilst he was still standing up. "Or thirsty?"

"No, I'm good. I'm not staying for long," he smiled and Taehyung finally sat down. "I was just visiting to make sure you wouldn't worry anymore. I'm sorry for what I did earlier, but I want you to stop thinking about me, okay? Everything's all right and I don't need help. I got everything under control," he said and quickly stood up again. "Sorry for interrupting and I'll take my leave. I'll see you soon Taetae," he said and turned towards Jungkook, "nice to meet you Jungkook." In a split of second before any of the boys could say anything else, the visitor was already out of the apartment.

Both the males sat there, speechless about what just happened. "Well that just made him even more suspicious," Jungkook muttered.

Taehyung turned towards him. "I know right? He seemed very off, I'm not the only one?"

Jungkook nodded. He definitely noticed how he was so off and tried to avoid them asking him questions of sorts and wanted to get away as soon as possible, especially after confirming Jungkook was adopted, which made him even more confused. Would he possibly know his foster parents? Did he know Jungkook? And more importantly, should Jungkook tell Taehyung about Hoseok's question to him?
