White Lies

※CHAPTER 2※

"It's okey Jungkookie, hyung will help you take a bath, hmmmn?"

Jungkook stood there frozen with his cheeks ablaze. He felt a gentle hand grab his writs and pull him somewhere.

JJK

After taking some sharp turns, Taehyung stopped tugging on my hands, I assumed we reached the bathroom. Indeed, as the noise of water filling the tub reached my head.

My ears perked up at the sudden soft swizzling sound. Thankfully, Taehyung didn't said anything.

"Roses..." I muttered unconsiously as the strong scent of roses hit him.

I can almost feel Taehyung smiling through his words. I know it might be strange as I met him, but he helped me, the only person who had ever helped me. "Yeah roses.... I use rose bath bomb, it keeps your skin smooth and gives off good fragrance."

I nodded, trying hard not to ask him about the bath bomb thingie, as I have never heard about it before.

"It's ready, now strip"

I froze after hearing his words. He probably sensed my nervousness, as he chuckled, which eased me a bit.

"It's okey Jungkookie, you are still a kid. Don't be shy. And you don't have to take off your boxers if you want." He said while running a hand through my greasy locks affectionately he didn't minded them.

I tightened my grip on my shirt's hem as I heard him taking his shirt off. Nervously, I took off my shirt as well followed with my Pants.

"Good boy" Taehyung praised me and I felt my heart swell. All my life I have been cursed at, and beaten, never have ever someone praised me before.

After he was done taking his pants off he helped both of us in the tub. The warm water soothed my muscles, on which I couldn't help but let out a small moan of relief. Taehyung chuckled again, I blushed.

Few minutes later, I felt his hands on me. If it would have been someone else I would have immediately start to fight, but Taehyung's touch feels so good, so relaxing and so right.

He was sitting behind me in the tub, the tub was small but it fitted us well, if I would have been a bit bigger or Taehyung bulker we wouldn't be able to fit in . His hands were laying on my shoulder blades as his fingers were gliding over my skin, giving me a massage.

After the massage he washed both of us without uttering a single word, not even about the blues, blacks and reds which were littering my skin.

"Jungkook I'm going to get you some clothes......and medicine" Taehyung said and I felt him stand up and heard him using the towel.

In an hour we both were cleaned,and I was patched up.

"Now tell me from where did you get all those scars and bruises?"

I froze as he questioned my most dreaded question. I can't tell him the truth....as if I did he might never show me the same kindnesses, which I was addicted to in mere minutes.

"I'm weak and clumsy....my skin gets bruise easily" I spoke in a whisper but he didn't replied or made my move in acknowledgement. He wanted to know more. "Streets aren't pretty, I'm blind so I can't do much to protect myself" I added after a while.

I felt his hand on my head again in sympathy. "Jungkook I-"

My stomach grumbled, cuting him mid sentence.

"Pardon me, I almost forget that you must be hungry. " Taehyung said with a chuckle, which I have grown to adore.

Taehyung grabbed my hand and led me somewhere, I kept counting the steps in order to memorise my home.
"Sit. This is the dining table"

I nodded while sitting down, I heard his footsteps fading, probably going in the kitchen.

"How old are you?"

"18"

"Really? I'm 20 so you should call me hyung from now on, I'm making tamato soup, I hope you don't mind it"

" Yes h-hyung"

"Jungkook, have you been to school? "

"No. Never"

"Oh...." Taehyung hyung said and he became silent for a while, the only sound heard was the boiling of soup and chopping done by Taehyung hyung.

"Here" He served me a pot bowl while taking one for himself and getting seated in front of me.

The soup smell so good and as if on cue my stomach growl. I can hear Taehyung-hyung chuckle in front of me

I was about to feed myself when Taehyung Hyung stop me from doing so

"Wait Kookie let me feed you hmm?"

"I-i can mange myself hyung I don't want to be a burden no nee-"

"No your not a burden, I will never think of you as that so don't sweat it...let me feed you okay?"

I just nodded my head in response. Taehyung hyung start feeding me slowly. Im so embarrassed I felt like a child again. He's very kind and cheerful

"Kookie" he stated out of the blue

"Yes hyung?"

He move his hand on top of mine and entwined our hands

"I want you to become my younger brother so will you stay and live here with me?"

Younger brother

Younger brother

Younger brother

Younger brother

.

.
.

These words keeps repeating in my head like a mantra

"Kookie are you okay?"

I snap out of my track and came back to reality. Maybe it's for the best to be his younger brother but for how long I can restrain myself from keeping all these lies and fake facade.

I'm sorry hyung but it's the only way...

I know it's not the right time but you will know the truth soon...

And when that time come...

I hope you can forgive me...

"Yes hyung I want to live with you from now on"
