The Ugly Boy's Makeover || Vmon ||

Chapter 18

Taehyung stumbles all over the place as he waddles his way home. It was dark, cold and scary but mostly just lonely. That's all that Taehyung could feel the most was the emptiness as he had no one around to comfort him.

He felt so stupid and humiliated that he could ever think Jungkook actually liked him. It was like he was living a fairytale dream, thinking that if he changed himself then everything around him will change too.

He glances down at himself in disgust, 'these clothes wouldn't change who I am! Neither would my hair or the fact I don't wear glasses anymore...none of this!'

Taehyung wanders around, lost in a trance like a zombie. His cheeks were drenched with tears as he hugs his arms around his body.

His house came into view as he slowly toddling toward his front door. He attempts to clean his face, making the tears invisible as he enters his home.

Taehyung's parents were snuggled up together on the couch in the living room, watching some movie as they usually do on the weekends. Their eyes peer over at the sound of the door being opened before a rather tired looking Taehyung waltzes in. "Hi baby, how was the party?" Mrs Min smiles when she sees her youngest son. Taehyung just ignores his parents as he darts for the stairs, his pattering footsteps echo throughout the house as he moves to the first floor.

Mr and Mrs Min were equally confused by Taehyung's strange behaviour. They glance at one another with a concerned expressions before realising that Yoongi hasn't entered the house yet. "What on earth is going on?" Mrs Min questions her husband. Mr Min was about to reply with an even more unsure answer when his phone rings.

Glancing down at the device, he realises his other son is calling. "Yoongi?" Mr Min immediately answers with a mixture of sternness yet worry. "Is Taehyung home?" Yoongi frantically asks, making Mr Min raise a brow as he peers over at his wife who was watching with distressful eyes.

"Yes, he just got home. What's going on? Why are you not with Taehyung like your mom asked you too?"

Yoongi was quiet on the other end of the line before mumbling, "something happened but it's okay. As long as Taehyung is home, I'll be back soon. I'm going to drop off some friends first."

"Min Yoongi," Mr Min spoke firm, making sure to let his son know he's in trouble. "I swear, you better start explaining yourself Mister."

The pink haired boy knew his parents would get mad at the fact he basically let Taehyung walk home alone but at the same time he's been spending all this time searching for the younger so that has to count for something. "It's best if you don't get involved. Taehyung has to work on this on his own. Don't worry, he wouldn't be like this forever. It's just..." Yoongi trails off, not wanting to give his father too much detail.

Though he hears his dad sigh, "alright. I wouldn't prey into this if you wouldn't say but if this ever happens again or you let your brother walk home in the dark alone again, I'll make to take away your car." He threatens, making Yoongi groan. "Okay."

With that, Yoongi finishes his call with his father. He then turns to the two pair of eyes staring at him. "He's home. I'll drop you guys off." He suggests while starting up his car again.

Hoseok sighs in relief, knowing that Taehyung was fine despite their failed attempts to find the younger. 'I should go see him and apologise tomorrow.' He thought while leaning back in his seat to gawk out the window at the night sky.

Yoongi returns home after dropping off Hoseok and Jimin at their houses. He unlocks the door since his parents have already went off to bed. Locking it back over, he creeps his way further into the home before heading up the stairs.
