the very worst of us / the best of us

Chapter 12

Jeongguk was ashamed and couldn't bring himself to look at anyone in the room. He knows he will never forget the mistakes he made and he wasn't very grateful to Yoongi for bringing it up as if he isn't already beating himself up for it.

"Uh.... Ggukie. Do you want to change your clothes now? We'll be able to leave whenever you're ready." Taehyung said, probably to cut the tension in the air.

Jeongguk shoot him a grateful smile.

"Will you help me?" He timidly asked.

Taehyung softly smiled at him.

"Of course Ggukie.." He responded.

"I'll take the kids at the cafeteria. Just call when you're ready to leave yeah?" Yoongi said. He was in no mood to catch up with Jeongguk and watch how Taehyung tended to him.

Taehyung was a bit startled.

He get that Yoongi probably don't like Jeongguk because of their father and all that but he don't know why he act so hostile. He is usually so calm and understanding.

"Oh Hyung.. Okay. I'll call you." Taehyung replied with a forced smile.

"He don't like me, does he?" Jeongguk asked in a tone just above a whisper.

Taehyung helped him out of his clothes and Jeongguk chuckled at the forced smile Taehyung gave him.

"Its just that.. I've always admired Yoongi hyung ever since he lived with us. I bet he told you that part right? You guys seems close." He said.

Taehyung chuckled.

"Yeah. He's a Psychologist Ggukie. Don't you think that's so cool?" Taehyung gushed.

Jeongguk uncomfortably forced a smile.

"He was concerned about Junghyungie's behaviour so he came to see me. And suddenly he's everywhere. He's just so good to us!"

"Why was he concerned about Junghyung?" Jeongguk asked ignoring the pain in his heart by the other man's statement.

"Well.."

Jeongguk furrowed his eyebrows when he sensed Taehyung's hesitation.

"Taetae.. what is it?" He asked.

Taehyung forced a smile again. They seem to do that a lot.

"Ggukie. We'll talk about it later okay? Now lets get you dressed and let's go home fast. Don't you want that?" Taehyung said cupping Jeongguk's cheek.

Jeongguk melted and blushed prettily.

"Okay baby. I'm so eager to go home." He said.

Taehyung smiled.

Junghyung watched as Yoongi couldn't even sit still in the cafeteria.
He felt bad because he was the one who was rooting for Yoongi and his dad to get together. He even had a few conversations with the Psychologist that he trust so much.

But now that their Papa is back in their lives with the truth, everything and everyone is very confused.

"I want to go back to Papa!" Taegguk exclaimed.

"Me too. Uncle please take us back?" Taejung said.

Well except for the two youngest Jeons.

They accepted their Papa with open arms. They don't have the thought to worry about their Uncle Yoongi who fell for their Daddy like Junghyung does.

"Let uncle and I finish our coffee first yeah?" Junghyung told his younger brothers.

"I'm sorry Yoongi." Junghyung apologised to the elder when they are walking back to the cabin.

Yoongi chuckled.

He knows exactly what Junghyung is talking about.

"Is it bad that I still want to fight for your Dad and for you guys?" Yoongi asked with a sad smile.

Junghyung gulped.

"Yoongi.. I'm sorry but.."

Yoongi cut him off by a light pat on his back.

"I'm kidding Junghyungie. Don't worry about me"

But Junghyung knows better.

His uncle was hurt.

Yoongi drove the kids home with his car while Taehyung drove him and Jeongguk home, trailing behind Yoongi's car.

"He even have a baby car in his seat." Jeongguk said while spacing out.

Taehyung laughed softly.

"Yeah. Taegguk loves Yoongi hyung so much. And Yoongi hyung often drive us around when we go out for family dinner. So yeah. He wanted to install a baby car."

Jeongguk clenched his fists.

He was so ashamed and also jealous and angry.

Angry at himself for not being there for his kids and Taehyung.

Ashamed that he don't have the right to be angry at Yoongi even though he is angry. He can't believe that Yoongi is taking his place in his absence.

"Jeongguk.. Jeongguk!" He was pulled out of his thoughts by Taehyung.

He was a bit startled but he gave him his whole attention right away.

"I'm sorry. What were you saying?"
He asked.

"I'm asking if you want a takeout or a home cooked meal?"

Jeongguk smiled.

"If its not too much.. I.." He hesitated

Taehyung quickly glanced at him and gave him a sign to continue.

"I really want to eat the food you make."

Taehyung blushed and Jeongguk finds him so pretty like always. So beautiful. Just so ethereal.

"Okay.. That can be arranged. Yoongi hyung also actually prefers home made meal." Taehyung shared not knowing how Jeongguk feels whenever he mentions Yoongi.

Does Taehyung know that Yoongi is my half brother that left me?
