Part 40

New book soon? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, Tae hyung," I said. He turned to me, confused at my nervous tone. "Am I a freak?" I asked, I was hoping for a yes or no answer, but I knew I wouldn't get one.

"Of course not!" He exclaimed, "what made you think that?" He was looking down at me with a hand on my shoulder.

"Nothing, just a thought," I replied - going to sit down on the couch. Of course that wasn't it though, it was my uncle. I was over seeing him and my auntie, I went through to the kitchen for a few minutes when I overheard them.

*Yesterday*

I was making tea for my auntie when I heard their conversation.

"Why is he here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why was he invited here?"
"He's family Hansol! Why? What's wrong with him being here?"
"He's a weirdo honey! That damn telepathy or whatever it is. And aside from that, he's annoying and stone faced."
"Hansol!"
"What? I'm not wrong!"

She went silent...
I don't blame her.

*Present Time*

"Are you sure?" Tae pushed, "you know you can tell me Jungkook." 
"Tae, seriously, I'm fine," I smiled.

I'm a bit, well, upset as of now. But I know I'll feel fine soon, so there's no point in making a scene. I looked at the TV, but nothing good was on so I turned it off. Tae came over and sat on the arm on the couch and played with my hair.

"Do you want to go back to that karaoke place with the others? Jin can come pick us up," he asked. Oh yeah, that place.

"Hmm, why not," I replied. I could tell by his tone that he wanted to go, and it's not like we have anything better to do anyway. 

"Will you sing this time?" 
"Persuade me."
"I'll buy us ice cream"
"..."
"Coome on"
"Deal"

Tae smiled and tapped my nose, "let's go Kookie!"

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

Jin had picked both Taehyung and I along side J-hope, and we were walking inside to meet the others. "Jinnie! Over here!" I looked over to see Namjoon waving us all over.

"I already payed, let's head straight in," Yoongi said as he ushered us towards our given room.  We all got inside and sat down, chattering about J-hope and his rather special faces. 

"Suga hyung! You, RM and me?" Hoseok suggested, to which he agreed.

And that's how the night carried on, singing, rapping, eating, laughing. Everyone was having fun, though - something didn't feel right.

I listened past the music to see if I could pick up any thoughts, but I didn't find anyone who I didn't know. Then I started actually looking around, there was defiantly something wrong. Was it a gut feeling? Was it even for here? Was it some where else?

I got taken out of my own thoughts by a pat at the shoulder, "come on Jungkookie~," Tae cooed, "you promised."

I sighed and rubbed my arm, "fine. But I'm not doing it myself."

><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< 

We ended up staying at the karaoke for longer than intended, so it was quite late, but non the less Tae and I were walking back home. "I'll walk you to your house, I don't want to leave you out by yourself," he told me as he took  my hand.

"Don't. Then you'll be on your own," I retaliated and gave his hand a squeeze. But he merely shook his head in refusal, "you know fine well that your neighborhood isn't the safest Jungkook," he said as we stopped at the crossing.

"Then stay."
