Married to a Prankster

31. Older Brother

Jungkook had enough time to think about his grandfather's words as his driver drove him to the McDonalds outside the company. 

It was truly crushing him. They had literally brought him up and given him soo much love and affection. He didn't want to believe they would suddenly snatch everything that he had worked hard for and give it to someone who was never present in his life except for the first four years after he was born. 

But he had heard those words with his own ears. He had seen how his grandmother didn't even try to deny it when Taehyung confronted her. And he would be lying if he said he didn't want to just run away from everything and jump and die somewhere. 

All he wanted was to go back home and crawl into Bong Soon's lap like he always did when something bothered him. He wanted to tuck his head into her warm lap and cry as much as he could. But he couldn't do that when she was the cause of his pain right now. 

Suddenly, a fleeting thought of how it would feel like to crawl into Taehyung's lap crossed his mind. But he shut it down before it could even form completely. 

He remembered their kiss. More than love or affection, he could feel desperation in it. As if Taehyung had kissed him because he didn't want to feel guilty just in case he didn't return from the cafe alive. 

But no matter why Taehyung kissed him, it felt like heaven. He finally knew what it would feel like to have those lips on his lips. 

His phone suddenly notified him with a new message, pulling him out of his train of thoughts. 

'You literally live fifteen minutes away from the company. What's taking you so long?!' Looks like I'll be using the gun whether or not you bring someone with you' the message said. 

Jungkook's hands shook as he replied to it. 

'I am sorry. I am almost there.'

'Just hurry up. I don't have all day' the message said. 

'I am here. Please give me a minute' Jungkook said and got out of the car. 

He slowly made his way inside the shop and walked right past a familiar man without even sparing a glance at him. But who could blame him? He was a little preoccupied with the thought of getting shot by his older brother. 

He started sweating as he typed another message. 

'Can you wave at me? I don't know where you are' he sent it with shaking hands. 

'Okay. Turn back' the message said. 

Jungkook took a deep breath and turned back. The only person who was waving his hand at him was Jimin. He waved back at him and looked around without giving him a second thought. 

'I waved at you. How long will you take to walk to my table? Or do you really want me to use my gun on you?'  the new message said. 

Jungkook's eyes widened. 'You didn't wave at me' he sent. 

'I did, jackbutt. You waved at me too' the new message said. 

Jack....butt?...jackbutt?!?!?!....JACKBUTT?!!?!??!?!?!?!

His heart thundered loudly as he slowly realized what was happening. 

He looked back at Jimin with his eyes as wide as saucers. Jimin looked right into his eyes. Jungkook slowly walked towards Jimin's table. His knees buckled from the weight of the realization and he had to grab the table for support before he sat down.
