Taekook One Shots

What about us?

“Mom! I got 1st place in our overall honors!” Jeongguk said happily.

“Oh, yay. That's great.” his mom said sarcastically.

“Mom, a magazine company offered me to model for their cover.” Jeongguk's older brother, Jeon Jaehee, said in a lazy tone.

“Really? That's amazing!” Mrs. Jeon said, clapping her hands in amusement.

Jeongguk sighed in defeat. He was used to this. He was actually tired of everything. He even tried to cut himself, it left him a few scars. Unfortunately, no one cares, not even his own family.

“Please fix yourselves, we will have guests coming over for dinner.” Mrs. Jeon proclaimed.

The two just hummed in response and headed towards their own bedroom.

Dinner came and they were all at the dining table, including their guests.

“So, how are you guys doing?” Pak Yu, one of their guests, asked.

“I'm doing fine. Jaehee here got offered to model for a magazine company! Isn't that great?” Mrs. Jeon's tone was full of excitement.

“Wow! It really is. Jaehee is really following your steps.” Pak Bet, the sister of Pak Yu, said.

“He better! I was entitled the most popular female idol in my generation, so he better replace that spot of mine with his.” Mrs. Jeon said with a smug look on her face.

“How about Jeongguk?” Pak Bet asked curiously.

“Well, he's still the nerd that he is. He got 1st place in the school's overall honors, which is fine. But I was actually expecting that he'll follow my steps too, since he's good looking and all, but a nerd will always be a nerd, am I right?” Mrs. Jeon sighed in disappointment before chuckling.

Jeonnguk was good at pretending that he wasn't affected at all. He has a weak heart, literally. He dreamt of being an idol too, but since he had this condition, that no one knows about except for him and his doctor, he wasn't able to pursue his dream. He was very talented, he won't be called Golden Maknae for nothing. He doesn't want to rely on his parents and ask for money to cure him, so he worked after school hours to earn money instead, which made it worst. He was getting weaker and weaker, but that didn't stop him. He wanted to prove to his family that he was as good as his brother, better actually.

“That's great though! I guess he doesn't want to be part of the K-pop industry, maybe he wants more than that. Just be proud of your son.” Pak Yu said which made Jeongguk smile for the appreciation that he was rarely given.

“I wish I could.” Mrs. Jeon mumbled and sighed deeply. The dinner ended which made him run up to his bedroom and cry his eyes out. He slowly went to his drawer and opened it.

“Hmm, which should I use next?” Jeongguk said as he eyed on his collection of shards and blades. He picked one blade up and looked at it, he started drawing lines on his arm, tracing it up to his wrist. He was about to go deeper when he realized what the fuck he was doing.

“S-shit!” he immediately dropped the blade and went back to bed. He curled up and hugged his pillow until he fell asleep.

Morning came, which means school's about to start. Jeongguk's alarm rang which made him groan.

“I fucking hate school.” he mumbled. He prepared himself and he went to the dining area for breakfast. He saw his family lazily eating and doesn't give a shit about his appearance.

“Morning.” Jeongguk said, almost inaudible for them to hear.

He headed towards the table and started eating. He was halfway done when he saw his father walking towards the table, he quickened his pace since he doesn't want his father to start a sermon and embarrass him in front of his mother and brother. His father accidentally knew that Jeongguk was gay. Fortunately, he didn't kick Jeongguk out, and he even kept his secret. But there was a consequence, he would be kicked out if he doesn't do what daddy says. And y'all nasty pervs should know what it means. But for those who don't, well, he just has to pleasure his daddy. Sucks, right?
