You Are Loved ◦ JungHope

Part 9

Jungkook woke up the next day, his nose buried in bushy hair that smelled like vanilla, his arms full and a gentle, even breath caressing his collarbone. Jungkook, careful as to not wake him, squeezed the other closer. His eye was still sore, he could tell it was swollen. But Jungkook couldn't even imagine the pain Hoseok must have had to endure every time he woke up.

Before he could ponder on the thought any longer, Hoseok was stirring in his arms, yawning before looking up, meeting the other's eyes with a carefree smile. As if seeing Jungkook the first thing in his day was the best thing that could be happening. He mumbled in a voice still coated with sleep. "Good morning Jungkookie."

Jungkook ran a hand through the elders bangs. "Good morning Hobi hyung, how did you sleep-"

A loud, hard knock rang throughout the apartment.

The two of them froze, smiles fading fast as a sickeningly familiar man was yelling for Hoseok.

Jungkook was sitting up, kicking off the covers in a frantic trance. "Shit- shit hyung how did he find us?!"

Hoseok was sitting up, eyes wide as if paralized. "I...I don't know...I don't know how he- oh..."

"Oh?" Jungkook asked, trying to keep his voice even, calm for Hoseok despite the rage setting fire to his veins.

"He...he tracks my phone Kookie...I completely forgot that I have to...I should get a new phone or something I-"

"Hey, hey it's okay." Jungkook spoke in a soothing voice, pressing a kiss to Hoseok's forehead in hopes of it being as comforting as Hoseok's kisses. "You stay here, I'll handle this."

Another yell was echoing through the apartment and Jungkook was running out to the door. His hand on the knob when another hand clutched the back of his shirt. Jungkook whipped around. "Hoseok! I told you to-"

"I'm not leaving you alone." Hoseok's eyes were strong despite the tremble in his voice.

"I swear to god I will call the police if you don't open this door right the fuck now Jung Hoseok!" The yelling persisted.

Jungkook turned back to the door. Not willing to risk opening it now and deciding to yell through it. "You're not welcome here. Go!"

"Who is that?! Is that the kid? Open the damn door! You're keeping me away from the love of my life! Hoseok! Hoseok can you hear me? He's tricking you! He's manipulating you, I'm the one who cares! You really think you can just leave me like this? After everything we've been through you're really going to just leave?!"

"Sangchul..." Hoseok's voice trembled quietly behind Jungkook.

The man's voice continued without hesitance. "I loved you through all of your failures! I've never had anything but your best interest in mind and all I've recieved is a big fuck you from you! I paid your loans because you needed that and all I asked of you in return is that you would be good to me! This is how you're going to repay me?! All those years I gave up for you so that you would be happy? Hoseok I'm willing to start a family! Something that you have always wanted! I've wasted years on you and you go run off with a kid who doesn't even know you?! You probably slept with him too! Hoseok do the years I gave up for you mean nothing?!"

"Jungkook..." Hoseok's breathes quickened in pace, his grip in the youngers shirt tightening. "Jungkook I should go...this isn't right...I should go back-"

"Sangchul. Leave." Jungkook's voice was strong. Pounding and void of emotion. "The only thing stopping me from opening this door right now and making you feel just a fraction of the pain you've forced onto my hyung, is because I don't want him to see that. I don't want him to see me become a monster like you. You're a monster and even though you've hurt my precious hyung, I know he wouldn't want me to hurt you. As much as I want to. As much as you fucking deserve it." He clenched his teeth. "But if you don't fucking leave I will not hesitate to make you."
