Twisted Life, Thorny Love

24. He beat me

"Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
  One fell down and broke his leg
  Mama called the doctor and doctor said
  No more monkeys jumping on the bed!!

  ONE LITTLE MONKEY JUMPING ON THE BED
  ONE FELL DOWN AND BROKE HIS LEG
  MAMA CALLED THE DOCTOR AND DOCTOR SAID
  PUT THOSE MONKEYS RIGHT TO BED" 

Junha and Jungkook were screaming at this point. They were supposed to get ready for the wedding, but as soon as Junha stood on the bed for his father to dress him, he started this rhyme. 

Jungkook couldn't help but sing along with him. The irony was that Junha had been jumping on the bed the whole time, clapping his hands loudly. 

"Okay. Now stand still like a good boy" Jungkook said, holding Junha's T-Shirt above his head. " 'tay. Thaiga good boy" Junha said, holding his arms up. "Yess. Very good boy" Jungkook said, putting his suit on and combing his hair. 

Junha sat on the bed and watched his father as he put on his suit and light makeup on his face. Jungkook looked at the mirror one last time. He was satisfied with his appearance. He couldn't wait to woo Taehyung at the wedding. 

He turned towards Junha. "See?! Matching matching!!!!" Jungkook exclaimed, pointing to their suits. "Yess!!!" Junha said, jumping up and clapping his hands with twinkling eyes. 

Jungkook chuckled and picked him up. "Let's go. The ring baby and the best man can't be late" he said, putting Junha down on the floor. 

He was just about to pick up the gift when his phone lit up with a new notification. He sighed when he saw the number. 

It was that girl Soohyeon. She had been bugging him for the past two weeks since that first chit that she had passed. He was tired of this obsessive behaviour. He honestly didn't even want to know how she got hold of his number.  

He had clearly told her that he was gay but the girl was sure that she could turn him straight if he gave her a chance. He was tired of telling her that he already had a boyfriend. 

He knew for sure that she would leave him alone the second she came to know who his boyfriend was, but he couldn't bring himself to tell her who it was as it would cause Taehyung trouble.

He didn't understand where she was getting the confidence from or why she was doing the whole thing of flirting with an already taken man in the first place. He decided to ignore the message as he didn't want to spoil his mood right before the wedding. 

He put his phone into his pocket and picked up the gift. "Hand!" he said and Junha immediately took hold of Jungkook's finger. 

They drove to the venue long before the guests started to arrive. Even though Namjoon was Yoongi's best friend, Yoongi wanted Jungkook to be his best man. The two of them were cousins and practically grew up together. 

Jimin wanted Junha and Dohyeon to bring their rings. His older brother was going to be his best man. 

"Hey!! Damn!! You both look good!! Junha!! Come here!" Jimin exclaimed the second Jungkook entered the room. Junha ran to Jimin and climbed onto his lap. "You both look good too" Jungkook said, grinning at them. 

Yoongi chuckled as he took a look at Jungkook and Junha's matching outfits. "When are you gonna stop this silly thing??" he asked Jungkook. "When Junha gets tired of it" Jungkook said, sitting down on a couch next to the couple. 

Jimin and Yoongi saw no point in waiting in separate rooms and thus stayed in a single room. 

"The Kims didn't come yet??" Jungkook asked. "Joon called me just now. They are on the way" Yoongi said. "Ohh, I've been meaning to ask, are you dating Taehyung or something? Jin hyung was asking us the other day" Jimin said. 

"Umm...no" Jungkook said. "Liar" Yoongi said. Jungkook's face flushed. "It's just that Tae wants to make a bit of progress before telling everyone about it" Jungkook explained. 

"Ohh. Okay, then. We'll wait for you guys to tell them yourselves" Yoongi said, reaching out to grab Junha from Jimin's lap. 

"No, no, Junha, you shouldn't play with that!!" Jimin exclaimed when he realized that Junha had been playing with his bow tie the whole time. He didn't notice it at first, but he felt a tug when Yoongi grabbed Junha from him and realized that Junha had been holding it.

He gently tried to pry Junha's hand off the bow tie, but Junha wouldn't let go. "Junha, stop. See?! Uncle Yoongi has a chocolate for you" Jungkook said, looking at Yoongi, hoping he actually did have a chocolate. 

Junha immediately let go and let Yoongi take him away from Jimin. "Cho'cate" Junha asked, holding his hand out in front of Yoongi's face. Yoongi fortunately had a couple of chocolates to help him with the nerves. 

He placed on of them in Junha's hands. Junha struggled to open the cover for a while, but Jungkook let him do it. 

"Heyyy!! Junha!!! See, Dohyeon's here!!" Jin exclaimed as he entered the room along with Dohyeon, the other two Kims following right behind him.

Dohyeon immediately ran to Junha and Yoongi handed Dohyeon the other chocolate. Jungkook turned towards the sudden crowd, but stopped breathing when he took in Taehyung's appearance. 

He had been soo concentrated on wooing Taehyung that he didn't realize that Taehyung would be doing the same to him. 

To say Taehyung looked stunning would be an understatement. 

Taehyung stared at Jungkook with his mouth slightly open. "Amazing" he muttered under his breath. "You too" Jungkook whispered. Taehyung grinned at him. 

"Hello Jimin, Hi hyung" Taehyung greeted the couple. "You look amazing!" Jimin commented, receiving a pinch from Yoongi on his thigh. "Oww, meanie!!" Jimin exclaimed, scowling at his to-be-husband. All of them chuckled. 

Taehyung suddenly turned towards the kids who were silently playing in the corner and smiled at them. "Hello Junha!!" he called out. 

Junha froze the second he heard Taehyung call him out. He turned towards the sound and suddenly, he was running as fast as he could to hide behind his father. 

Taehyung froze suddenly, remembering what happened the previous week. He remembered that Junha was terrified of him for some reason. He still didn't know why. He thought it was something that would go away with a good night's sleep and that Junha would be alright. 

But apparently not. Here he was, standing in a room full of frowning adults, none of them understanding why Junha just behaved the way he did. 

Jungkook's thoughts were cut off when Junha started crying, clutching his legs hard. "What's wrong, baby?? What's wrong? It's Uncle Taetae!! Your favourite uncle! Why are you behaving like this??!" he asked as he picked him up. 

Junha's bottom lip trembled as he looked straight into Jungkook's eyes. He buried his face into his father's neck and cried. Jungkook frowned. The kid was practically shaking. "What's wrong, tiger?" he gently asked, stroking Junha's head and back, placing a kiss on the crown of his head. 

"He beat me" Junha cried. 

Even though his words were muffled, all of them clearly understood what he said. 

"He beat me, he beat me" Junha cried.
