White Lies

※CHAPTER 1※

In the middle of the night where the rain poured heavily under the sky along with the roaring sound of thunder and a glistening struck of lightning. A drenched boy covered in bruise was limping his way through the only lighted house in the area.

Taehyung couldn't find himself to fall asleep. It's almost past midnight but he's still fully wide awake, he was turning and tossing all over his bed a moment ago but to no avail, sleep just couldn't pass through his systematic.

He decided to get up and walk into the kitchen to drink some water. A sudden struck of lightning flash and Taehyung almost jumped in surprise

"Geez I wonder when will this bad weather stop, I almost drop the glass but I'm not scared of the lightning so
....it's fine...I guess....sheseehs who am I talking to?" he let out a deep sigh and was about to walk into his room again when he heard a clang of metal outside his house.

Taehyung thought its just some stray cat and Taehyung being Taehyung  couldn't let a stray cat freeze to death. So he opened his window a little and peep through it, but much to his surprise instead of seeing some cat, he saw a young boy leaning against his gate.

He closed the window and ran downstairs, he didn't know if it's a thief or bulgar or something but when he saw the painful expression of the boy, one thing is for sure, that young lad surely needs help and Taehyung wouldn't hesitate to give it because it was his nature to help those who are in need.

He picked up an umbrella and dashed outside under the heavy sheet of rain

Once he finally reach the gate, he open it widely and crouched down in front of the said boy

"Hey are you okay? No, of course you aren't" Taehyung answered himself as he noticed the scrawny boy shivering virgoesly. His teeth were chattering and lips were purple.

On observing  the young boy in front of him more, he felt a pity for he could tell that the boy was beaten up pretty bad, the bruise and bloches painting his body along with numerous cuts littering him were the evidence.

Without having a second thought he carried the young boy inside of his home as he didn't have any energy to talk, let alone walk.

"What a poor thing you are" he mumbled as he laid him on the couch.

The boy groaned and started to get up but Taehyung beat him to it

"Stay still"

"W-where am I?  Who are y-you?"

"I'm Taehyung but you can call me Tae-Tae and you are in my house but- wait! I should be the one questioning you what are you doing  outside my house? "

"And you're pretty young too, where are your parents?  I'll could contact them, they must be gravely worried."

Taehyung noticed the boy tensed up and lower his head at the mentioning of parents.

"I- no I don't have parents anymore"

Taehyung felt a pang of sadness inside his heart because he knows how hard it was when you don't have a parents looking out for you anymore

"Oh sorry, but who did this to you?" He pointed out the bruises that littering at the latter's arms

"Are you assaulted or something because I should report that"

The boy didn't said anything and just stared in space, obviously he didn't want to talk about the matter - not just yet

No matter how many times Taehyung looked at him, he is hundred percent sure that the boy was still a minor

"Look kid"

"J-Jungkook my name is Jungkook"

Hmm he's kinda cute huh
Taehyung thought for a second

What the hell are you thinking! how could you say that to a kid and let alone a boy haha you must be really sleepy-stupid stupid Taehyung.
Taehyung shook his head and smile amusingly

"Ah I'm really sleepy Jungkookie let's just call it a night and do the  talking tomorrow"
Taehyung yawned as he stretched his arms in a reflex as to prove his point about drowsiness.

"Take a shower first so you won't catch a cold, I'll lend you some of my clothes"
Oh I forgot I'm also wet as well.

"H-hyung  uhm... "

"What?  I can't hear you"

Taehyung looked at him weirdly,  the boy was looking at the left side of the couch while talking, when in fact, Taehyung was sitting on the right side.

He thought that Jungkook was only shy to make eye contact with him

Taehyung stood up and yawned again.

"The bathroom is on that side, I will just get you some clothes, you can use any shampoo and bath bomb- should I get you something warm to drink as well? Aishhh....of course you'll decline my offer being informal and all- why am I so stupid.  Jungkookie you take a bath and I'll fix us some soup" Taehyung was so busy arguing with himself that he failed to noticed nervousness and shame oozing out of Jungkook.

"H-Hyung actually I'm b-blind" Jungkook was mumbling quietly, as if afraid that someone will hear him but Taehyung.

"What? Ohh..." Taehyung looked at the young yet beautiful boy. He was about to say something like he was sorry or anything to console the little. But, the pretty yet broken creature in front of him didn't deserve pity, he deserves love, lot of love. Taehyung was willing to give it to him.

"It's okey, Jungkookie, hyung will help you-oh wait! I need a bath as well. So we can bathe together,is it okey with you little one?" " Taehyung said trying to sound as soothing and loving as possible.
