my brother's friend; kv

chapter 30

"ggukiee... would you lend your mommy some money?"

"fuck no! don't touch me.", he says and pushes her arm away.

"watch your tone.", her boyfriend says to jeongguk and jeongguk just looks at him with dark eyes.

"why don't you give her money then?", jeongguk asks him.

he starts laughing. "we spent all of it. do you think your mom gets high from inhaling air.", he says and slaps jeongguk's mother's butt. she giggles and kisses him.

"you forgot to mention your alcohol addiction.", jeongguk says, staring at all the empty bottles in disgust.

"it looks a mess.", he mumbles to himself, starting to clean up.

"give me money baby, come on.", she says.

"no. just because you're irresponsible and don't know how to manage money it doesn't mean you can spend my money too. i'm working for it while you're here doing disgusting things all
day and even have no meaning in life anymore!", he yells, getting to angry.

and in the next moment he can feel someone pushing him against the wall
behind him.

"don't touch me.", jeongguk tries to push him away as he gets pressed against the wall but even though he's quite muscular for his age, he'd have no chance against the older, more muscular man.

"give her money."

"no-", he yells but then he feels an extreme pain on his left cheek.

he just got hit.

again.

"let me go.", jeongguk now angrily says and tries to push him away but he just keeps on pressing him against the wall, his hands holding jeongguk's wrists way too hardly.

but jeongguk doesn't give up.

"let me go!", he yells trying to get out of his hold and in the next morning he feels the other's fist in his face. his nose starts bleeding.

jeongguk tries to punch him back but he gets pushed on the ground where the other kicks his stomach.

"give us money!"

"no!", he yells but curls up as he feels another kick in his stomach. jeongguk's eyes fill with tears because of the extreme pain.

"will you give us some now?", the other asks, thinking jeongguk might finally give up but he thought wrong.

"no.", he says but now the other kicks him so hard like he never did before, making jeongguk throw up all over the floor.

"how much do you need?", he asks with a low and weak voice.

"good boy.", the other says satisfied, jeongguk's mother just giggling.

"20$ must be enough for now.", he says and jeongguk takes 20$ out of his pocket, giving it to him, before he finally collapses to the ground.

his mother and her boyfriend put on their jackets. "you better clean this up until we're back.", he says, pointing at the whole flat, before the next thing jeongguk hears is the door slamming shut.

he lays on the ground, trying hard not to cry since he'd feel like a loser if he started crying now. he pulls himself together and his eyes stop swelling, since they did because he almost started crying.

with a lot of groaners because of pain, he manages to stand up and starts cleaning up, scrunching his nose in disgust as he has to clean his vomit.

~

*the next day, 8 pm*

everyone in the groupchat agreed to meet at their favorite fast food restaurant while jeongguk's just staring at his phone, not knowing what to do.

luckily his "parent's" aren't home, probably in a club or something or somewhere on the streets almost overdosing.

jeongguk misses taehyung very bad but he would ask too many questions seeing his bruised face. so would all his friends. that's why he decides to not go with them and wait a couple days until the bruise on his nose disappears.

but school... ugh...

he probably won't even go to school, just to avoid his friends.

maybe another time
have fun

he sends to the groupchat but only thirty seconds later he receives a phone call from taehyung.

he picks up.

"gguk?"

"hey."

"why aren't you coming?", he asks sadly.

"i have some stuff do to, maybe another day."

"but.. if you don't go i don't want to go either."

"no pup, just go and have fun with the others."

jeongguk wants to see him so bad, he curses that monster now for ruining his face again.

"oh ggukie please just come."

"i really can't, i'm sorry pup."

taehyung sighs. "well okay then.", he says and jeongguk can hear how down he feels and it makes him smile sadly.

it hurts so much to not be able to be with him now but he just can't. taehyung lives in a beautiful big house, has got a wealthy family and it'd be embarrassing if taehyung knew under which circumstances jeongguk lives.

a drug addicted mother, a alcohol addicted "father", living in an ugly dirty flat in probably the worst and ugliest part of the town. imagine what taehyung's parents would say.

that's why jeongguk knows he could never date taehyung.

he's not good enough for him.
