my brother's friend; kv

chapter 27

they're back at home since an hour now and seriously they don't know why and actually all of them should hang out together, but taehyung and jeongguk are together in taehyung's room, just on their own.

"oh, i should call jimin.", taehyung says, getting up with his head from jeongguk's lap to grab his phone. but after that he quickly rests his head on jeongguk's thighs again and enjoys the feeling of jeongguk playing with his hair.

he's calling jimin as jeongguk softly removes a strand from his face and looks at him in pure admiration. taehyung is just too beautiful to handle.

"chim?"

"hey.", jimin says and taehyung already notices just because of his voice that something is wrong.

"how are you? why were you not in school?"

"oh, um.. i'm not feeling that well you know.. had to throw up and shit."

taehyung's mood immediately sinks.

"oh no, i'll visit you now-"

"no you don't have to. is jeongguk not with you?"

"how'd you know?"

"yoongi told me."

"texted you?"

"yeah."

"oh okay, yes he's here but.. i still want to visit you, i'm sure jeongguk doesn't mind.", he says and jeongguk nods and gives him a little smile.

"you don't have to come. just come tomorrow then."

taehyung thinks about it for a second.

"really? are you sure? i'm feeling bad chim-"

"yes baby i'm sure."

"oh okay.", taehyung says, suddenly missing his best friend very much.

"i will go to sleep now. good night.", jimin says.

"good night chim. i love you."

"love you too.", he says and hangs off the phone call.

"your friendship is very cute.", jeongguk comments. taehyung smiles at that.

"we've been friends since forever. he's my soulmate.", he replies and now jeongguk is the one to smile. it seems like they always smile as soon as the other says something.

"tae, i'm sorry because of earlier. i had no right to do that. of course you can go and eat ice cream with bogum.", jeongguk says and taehyung smiles again but this time more widely.

"it's okay.", he giggles. "but i already cancelled him and have plans with you now. i'll go with him another day."

"okay.", jeongguk says and continues stroking taehyung's soft curls. taehyung closes his eyes at the beautiful feeling. even since he was a little child he has always read in books how children got their hair stroked by their mother. taehyung never knew that feeling, because his parents were always too busy.

"mommy you promised to sleep in my bed today."

"i know, but i still have work to do, i'm sorry. tomorrow, okay?"

taehyung has too many memories like that.

but luckily taehyung had his brother who would always read books for him when taehyung was just 5 years old and couldn't read on his own. to that time namjoon was only 7 years old and couldn't read perfectly yet but good enough to read bedtime stories for his little brother. he always stroked taehyung's hair and even though it wasn't his mother, it was ok for him.
