JUST FRIENDS | THE SEQUEL

050

"Where were you?!" Taehyung boomed through the house, crossing his arms.

"We just went for a walk through town, Taehyung. I didn't expect you to come home this early."

"Fine." The man walked towards Jeongguk for a hug, "You can get- What's that smell?"

"What smell?.." He panicked.

"The smell on you. It's like.. Hmm.. I don't know. Maybe.." He looked down at his feet before looking back up and raising his eyebrows, "Cigarettes?"

"There were loads of people smoking, Taehyung."

"Are you sure you didn't smoke?"

"I promise."

"I love you.." The older held the side of Kook's face, leaning in to kiss his soft lips.

Their lips met, Taehyung going a little too quick for the boy, "T-Tae.."

He pulled away, "You fucking liar! You did smoke, didn't you?"

"I'm s-sorry-"

"No! Give me the box and the lighter."

The boy hesitated before sighing, almost giving in. Then, something changed in him, "I won't give you my cigarettes. They're mine and I bought them with my own money."

"I don't want to love you if this is who you're gonna be, Kook.."

"If you loved me, you would love me anyway. This is who I'm gonna be. This is what I can't stop doing, Taehyung! I can't just stop smoking.. All the years that I didn't smoke, I have to now.."

"Kook. You don't need cigarettes. What you need is fucking help!"

"I'm not dealing with this." He stormed off towards their bedroom.

"Daddy, why did Mommy shout at you?"

"He's just doing something that I don't like, that's all.." Taehyung struggled to keep his calm, "Just- just please go to your room, Hwa-Young.."

"Why-"

"Go to your fucking room!!"

The girl scurried off.
