Love And Rejection, Both At First Sight. - Taekook Love Story

18 - I'm Not Alone.

Taehyung comes for breakfast one day and sees Namjoon in a call and he looks troubled.

"Good morning hyung. What's up with Namjoon hyung?" Taehyung asks from Jin who gives him his breakfast.

"I don't know. Something's wrong at the station." Jin replies little troubled too.

Just then, Namjoon finishes his call and puts his phone down.

"What's wrong Joonie hyung?" Taehyung asks with concern.

"We are having some issue with the computers in the station. I don't know what to do. We'll have to wait till an expert is sent from HQ. We don't have anyone with that kind of knowledge here. Meanwhile, we are unable to do any work." Namjoon explained in a tired voice.

"Oh really. That's bad. Maybe Jungkook can help."

"Jungkook?"

"Yeah, he's good with computers. Do you want me to call and ask him?"

"He is? Well it wouldn't hurt to have a look I suppose."

Taehyung quickly calls Jungkook and the call is answered after few rings.

"Hey baby, good morning." Jungkook answers cheerfully.

"Good morning Kookie. Did you had breakfast?"

"No not yet. I was just thinking about making something. What's up?"

"Joonie hyung said that there's some issue with the computers in the police station. I was wondering whether you would like to help?"

"Police station?"

"Yeah. They are in a real tight spot it seems."

Jungkook was reluctant to associate with the police but he wants to help Namjoon too.

"Is Joonie hyung at home? Can I come?"

"Yes please."

Few minutes later, Jungkook rang the door bell and Taehyung goes to open the door.

"Hey baby." Jungkook said as he pulled Taehyung in for a quick kiss.

"Hi Kookie, come on in."

Jungkook walks in and finds Namjoon and Jin sitting at the table. Taehyung drags him over to the table and make him sit while Jin fusses over him with food.

"Eat first. Then you all can talk." Jin says sternly and everyone gets on with their breakfast.

"I don't know why you won't come for breakfast everyday Kook." Jin says with a frown.

"Hyung please, we are not having this conversation again. My fridge is filled with your food anyway." Jungkook replies with a sigh. This is a conversation they have once in every few days.

Once they were done with breakfast Jungkook asks Namjoon about the issues. Namjoon is not sure what has happened but they are having trouble accessing the main data base.

"We are unable to access any information. We can't do our daily work even." Namjoon explains the issue.

"Ok. Maybe I can come and have a look. Then we'll see what the issue is."

With that, Namjoon and Jungkook left to the police station. Taehyung stayed home as today was his day off.

As Jungkook walks in to the police station, Hoseok and Yoongi greets him. Hoseok seems very relaxed while Yoongi looks annoyed at not being able to work properly.

Jungkook sits at one of the computers and asks Namjoon to try to access the main data base. Once the error message pops out, Jungkook starts his work.

All the people in the police station looks in suprise as Jungkook's fingers starts to move with an almost inhuman speed. They can barely see what he was typing and the screen fills will various black colour windows. It looks like a scene from a spy movie.

"Joonie hyung, does anyone use the internet other than the given systems on these computers?" Jungkook asks without taking his eyes off of the screen.

"We all do I suppose. Why?" Namjoon replies with a shrug.

"There's a virus. By the logs that I managed to open, it seems that someone has accessed a...umm...." Jungkook finally looks at Namjoon and beacons him and Namjoon bends down to Jungkook's level.

"Someone has accessed a porn site." Jungkook whispers so that only Namjoon will hear.

Namjoon straightens his back. "I see."

Jungkook gets back to his work and after about 20 minutes, he gets up from the chair.

"Try to login again, Joonie hyung."

Namjoon tries again and this time it's working. Everyone lets out sounds of suprise. It has taken a very little time for Jungkook to fix this.

"Wow!! How did you do that?" Hoseok asks in awe and Jungkook just shrugs his shoulders.

"Thank you Kook. You are a life saver." Namjoon shook Jungkook's hand in gratitude and he leads the younger in to his room.

"It's no big deal hyung." Jungkook replies with a smile.

"Kook there's something I've been meaning to ask you." Namjoon says cautiously.

Jungkook looks at him in suprise. He has been expecting this actually but not sure whether he is ready to answer. But he doesn't want to lie either.

"What is it hyung?" Jungkook asks in the same cautious tone.

"Look, I get that you don't like to talk about your past and I don't want to make you uncomfortable. And I'm not asking this as a police officer. But as Taehyung's brother, I have to do this. I hope you understand me. I know that you are hiding from something or someone."

Jungkook lets out a little gasp. The only person that he has ever said something is Taehyung but he knows that Taehyung would never betray him. Namjoon correctly interprets the expression on his face and quickly answers.

"No I didn't hear anything from Taehyung. Kook I am a police officer. Even though I have not seen it personally before, I know enough to recognise the signs. And it would explain your hesitancy to associate with Taehyung."

"I don't really want to know what has happened in your past. I mean, if you want to talk about it, I will listen but I will not force you. I want to know only one thing."

Jungkook just keeps on looking at Namjoon, waiting for the strike.

"Now I consider my self as a good judge of character. From what I've seen and what I know about you, I believe you are to be a good person. And I don't think your answer will change the way I see you."

"But I need to know so that I can protect you and my brother both. Just tell me one thing Kook. Have you done anything illegal or criminal? Just yes or no. I don't need to know the details"

Namjoon looks at Jungkook in the eye as he asks the question. There was no hostility or contempt in Namjoon's eyes. They are sincere and kind.

Jungkook felt his heart soar in gratitude. He has never excepted to be welcomed in to these people's lives like this. Never expected to be loved this unconditionally.

"No. But the people after me have done both." Jungkook finally whispers as he felt tears slip through his eyes.

Namjoon held his gaze for few more seconds before getting up and walking  to Jungkook's chair. He pulled the younger man in to a tight hug and Jungkook just melted. He has not felt this safe in a long time.

"Don't worry Kook. They won't find you here. And even if they do, you are not alone anymore. You have all of us. We will make sure that you are safe."

Jungkook gave a tiny nod. After a long time, he doesn't feel lonely anymore. After a long time, he feels safe.
