9: Promise

Irene's POV

After Taehyung left dance practice, I've been really worried about him. I saw Jungkook and Jimin run out of the classroom, and they were all tensed up. On top of that, Tae wasn't showing up to school for the past two days. I hope he's alright.

It's final, I know all of his Bangtan friends know where he is, that's why they've been avoiding me. Usually Jungkook comes and greets me with his cute bunny smile when I reach class, but now when I enter class he quietly puts his head down on his desk, avoising my eyes. Today I'm gonna make them tell me where he is, and with who.

After science comes lunch. That's when I'm gonna bug them.

-AT LUNCH-

I was walking with Wendy ranting about all my problems and worries.

"Bruh, are you sure you guys aren't obsessed with each other?!" Wendy complained. "Like, can you guys not breathe without eachother? Maybe he's just sick and can't get incontact with you. Maybe he doesn't want to make you worry."

"Wendy-ah, if he wanted me stay calm and mentally sane, he would've called me telling me he's fine!" I said a little louder than expected.

"You know, you're right, you do need eachother to keep your sanity." She said mocking me.

"Yah!"

She just kept on laughing. I was chasing her until my eyes landed on Bangtan's lunch table. ALL of their eyes were on me. Me being the idiot I am, started walking towards them. That's when they all suddenly, got up from their table, taking their bags with them.

"Yah!!!" I yelled in the cafeteria. Everyone was staring at me. I looked at Wendy as she was giving me the 'I don't know you' and the 'why are you so stupid' look.

I looked back at Bangtan. I awkwardly made my way to them.

I looked Jungkook in the eyes as I'm second closest with him. I crossed my arms and stared at him deep in the eyes.

"Where's Taehyung?" I asked coldly, this time in my deep voice.

"I... I don't know where he is." He said quietly, trying hard to avoid my eyes.

"Oh, please all of you rushed to him the day you left dance practice, and now you're all avoiding me, and you're saying you don't know where Tae is!" I saw contiuously ranting at their faces.

They all took glances at each other while gulping their saliva in fear.

Finally Jungkook had the courage to step up to me. He whispered in my ears "I'll meet you after school by the park."

That's what he said before he turned away joining Bangtan to their next class.

The next two hours felt sooooooooo long. Each minute felt like a year! I was longing to see or even hear news about Tae.

I've been wanting to his cute nose mole, I missed carressing his hair when he would lay down on my lap. I missed sharing
our personal space. I wanted to hear his deep voice talk to me. I really missed him.

After 204857894567804 years

DING!! DING!! DING!!

The bell rang and I ran to the park, bumping into people, but I didn't care.

When I reached the park, I saw Jungkook standing under the big oak tree, waiting patiently. His eyes met mine.

"Hey noona!" He waved happily showing off his cute bunny smile.

I walked over to him, looking rather worried.

"What's wrong noona?" He asked wooried.

"Where's Taehyung?" I asked with teary eyes as I finallt broke down.

"Come, let's go for a walk." He said, leaving me confused.

"Wait, Jungkook-ah, please answer."

"Are you joining me or not?" He asked again, still very calm and caring.

I decided to shut up and listen to him, walking beside him.

We kept walking for about 15 minutes until we stopped in front of a huge house.

"Come follow me noona, quietly."

"What are you doing Jungkook?"

"Showing you Taehyung hyung." He said coldly.

He slowly turned the key of his house, and gently pushed the door open. As he swung the door open, you could only hear the sound of the T.V coming from the living room.

I started walking closer to the living room.

"Huh, so if I drop the refrigerator on the loan sharks' head, will they be injured, or possibly dead like Jerry did to Tom?"

I instantly froze in my spot. It was Taehyung talking bullshit as he was seven bottles down of liquor.

Jungkook pulled me into the kitchen. My eyes were full of tears. He was addicted to alcohol, it killed to see him like that.

Jungkook explained how his father left the whole family responsibility on him when he was only 8 years old. How the loan sharks kicked him out of his house, and how hopeless he was. I immediately broke into tears, crying into Jungkook's
chest, listening to his heartbeat calmed me down. He kept on caressing my hair, repeating the words 'It's going to be ok' in
my ear.

"You're the only one that can help him noona" He said.

I looked up at him as I see tears running down his cheeck. This kid really cared for his hyung.

"We can do this together." I said to him, wiping his tears off with my thumbs smiling weakly at him.

"Promise?"

"I Promise."
