Third person P.O.V
Taehyung was still sitting in the same position when he heard a knock on the door and soon Hoseok entered the room with a tray.
"Hey, why you stormed out of the dining room like someone is going to tickle you badly?" Hoseok asked irritated.
"I am sorry Hyung... it's just, I wasn't feeling well." He replied with guilt in his tone.
"What happened to your face? Did you get the fever again?" Hoseok frowned, placing his hand over Taehyung's cheek. The blue-haired was still feeling embarrassed by his own actions and words from last night and that's why his cheeks were red. He quickly covered his cheeks with his palms, shaking his head.
"Oh fine then, don't worry. Take this painkiller you will feel better after taking some rest. Ok?" Hoseok handed him the medicine and a glass of water. Taehyung quickly gulped down the water with the pill and give it back to Hoseok.
"Now come here and rest. Don't worry about anything. You don't need to help me with anything today." Hoseok informed him and after tugging him into the blankets, he left.
Taehyung was laying there while staring at the ceiling. His life really changed a lot in a little time. He lost many important persons in his life but now it is again filled with some worthy ones who actually care for him. A soft smile formed on his lush lips at the thought of that.
Back to the dining room, when Taehyung left the room, Jungkook was surprised by his reaction. He felt like he did something wrong but no, he didn't do anything... yet. Then why?
"Hoseok did he have his medicine?" Jungkook asked to break the awkward silence and everyone got back to reality.
"Um.. no. He was going to take it after eating. But-" Hoseok stopped midway while noticing Namjoon's glare
"I will take it to his room. You all sit down and eat." Hoseok quickly served the breakfast and left with the tray.
Jungkook was sitting there, not eating but playing with food with his fork. His mind was stuck with that confession.
Did he remember what he said? He thought to himself, keeping his gaze on the plate.
"Jk. Why are you not eating? You know that we have a meeting this afternoon?" Namjoon reminded him after noticing his daydreaming. The said male just hummed in response and started eating.
After breakfast, he went to his room to change for the meeting. While grabbing his watch from the side table, his gaze fell on the laptop screen, his hand stopped midway to the table when the person caught his attention from another room.
Taehyung was sleeping in his room, his legs were out of blankets, his open mouth, messy hair, and the most admiring thing was his soft skin. Apparently, his shirt was exposing his right shoulder too much for someone's interest, not only that but his shirt was also lifted from his stomach, exposing his sun-tan smooth, little, cute tummy.
Jungkook was frozen on his spot, once again mesmerized by the heart-shaking view but his trance broke, when Taehyung stirred in his sleep and smiled. Without realizing it, a smile crept on his face too. He wanted to enjoy the scene more but he heard Namjoon's voice from outside his room.
Blinking to come back to his senses, he quickly grabbed his things and shut the laptop, so that no one can see that sinful scenario.
Taehyung woke up and smiled widely at what he was dreaming. After a little effort to get rid of the blanket, he left the room and it was noon already. He rubbed his eyes with his fists while dragging his feet to find Hoseok.
"Hyung ~" He called for the blond and Hoseok rushed to him just after one call.
"Damn, Tae. I thought you again got drunk." Hoseok chuckled and ruffled his hair just to receive a high pitch whine from the younger.
"I am hungry Hyung."
"Fine.. have some fruits till I make something for you." Hoseok tagged him to the kitchen and handed him baskets of fruits but Taehyung placed them back on the counter.
"Where is everyone?" Taehyung roamed his eyes to find the mansion very silent while munching on the snacks that he got from the kitchen box.
"Hey... I told you to eat fruits not those snacks.. aishh this kid. And what everyone?" Hoseok scolded him before noticing the question.
"Come on.. it feels like forever since I had these snacks. Please just a bit more " He showed him his puppy eyes and Hoseok facepalmed, why it's too difficult to avoid him?
"Fine but you should eat some healthy food, ok." Taehyung nodded with a huge smile.
"Everyone means... Joonie Hyung... Jackson..." Taehyung trailed, not wanting to be more obvious.
"Why do you care?" Hoseok wriggled his brows and Taehyung was speechless. What should he say now?
"Um.. nothing.. it is just too much silent in the mansion.. so.. never mind."
"Well, Jk is gone for a business meeting in Busan." Taehyung's eyes widened as he remembered that Jimin is also in Busan but he just nodded.
"So that's what you wanted to know? I just told you about JK and see your mouth is shut like it never opened...even when I didn't tell you about your hyungs." Hoseok teased him as he enjoyed a lot seeing him all flustered when he struggled to answer that but ended up stuffing his mouth with snacks like a squirrel.
"Can I go to a park Hyung? They won't be there till night... please Hyung." The kitchen fell in silence til Taehyung pleaded while showing his puppy eyes again.
"Tae stop attacking like this. Fine, you can go but be back before 6.. ok?" Hoseok agreed after a while placing the food in front of him.
"Thanks, Hyung... you are the best... I lub you" Taehyung hugged him tightly and Hoseok hugged back with a smile, thinking about the level of cuteness the younger can put on.
After his lunch, Taehyung changed and went to the park near his own house, more precisely his previous home. He was walking in silence till he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sor-" His words stuck in his throat when he looked at the man, there stands his horrible past, his nightmare.
"What a surprise, you got free from there? Or he sold you to a sugar daddy who allows you to roam like that?" Min chuckled while glaring at the boy.
Taehyung preferred not to talk as all of the scenes from that day started to appear in front of his eyes.
"I shouldn't have come here" He scolded himself and turned back but Min grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"I missed you, sweetie." Min snickered and Taehyung felt like he would puke hearing that.
Taehyung jerked off his hand harshly and again turned. This time Min turned him by his shoulder harshly, his nails digging into the soft skin of the boy.
"Can't you see that I don't want to even see your face?" Taehyung snapped at him, clearly irritated and annoyed but it got Min mad.
"Hey, you there! What's wrong with you?" Someone yelled behind Taehyung and Min quickly let him go. Taehyung didn't turn back to face whoever was there, trying his best to cool down first.
"Nothing man. I was just talking with my son.. nothing much." Min smiled like he was the most loving father to the boy.
"Don't say that! You never was my father... you-" Taehyung stopped when he saw gazes on them because of his loud voice.
"Father? I don't think that a father talks with his son like that.. so please fu*k off." The man again said and Min gave him a glare.
"See you later my dear son." He left with that, not before throwing a dirty smirk.
In your dreams, Taehyung scoffed internally when he saw the older gone.
"Hey, you ok?" The same voice asked him and finally, Taehyung turned back as the voice was quite familiar.
"You?" Taehyung was beyond surprised because there stands...
Bogum.
"How I am going to explain to him?" The first thing that hit his mind was this question. The strange things that happened to him were not so pleasant to narrate to every person, also when he hated to be in the spotlight of pity.
"Tae?? Come here sit down." Bogum dragged him to a nearby bench in the park. Taehyung was still struggling with what is going to happen now. Noticing his uneasiness Bogum started to speak.
"I told you before... I am your friend Tae.. you can tell me anything that is bothering you. Believe me, I just want to help you." Bogum smiled to assure the other.
"It's just.."
"Yeah?" Bogum said so to make him feel easy.
Taehyung thought that he is right... he is a friend so it would be fine to tell him the truth. So, he deeply sighed and told him everything about his past and his stepfather. He was crying while telling the brutal behavior of that man.
"He n-never loved me.. he just used me," Taehyung croaked in between his sobs. Bogum looked bothered by that, so deciding to comfort the younger, he engulfed him in a warm hug and rubbed his back.
"He never deserved your hard work, he never deserved you, Tae. He is just a monster." Bogum softly said, patting Taehyung's head while the latter silently sobbed in his arms.
"But where are you living now? You can live with me." He offered after a little moment, realizing that Taehyung has nowhere to go.
"I am living with the person who bought me. He is a nice person, Bogum." Taehyung mentioned him with a smile while wiping his tears with his sleeves. Bogum gave him a confused look so Taehyung told him everything else too. But he didn't mention Jungkook's name or his profession. He just mentioned him as a rich businessman who took him under his wings away from the cruel world.
"Is he really good to you? I mean he doesn't hurt you, right?" Bogum asked with great concern and Taehyung nodded with a smile, feeling happy to see those concern-filled eyes.
"He is so nice man, Bogum. I am happy that I am with him, not with my father."
"Good to know that. Oh yes, I was about to tell you this tomorrow but as we are here let me ask you one thing." Bogum suddenly beamed with excitement and Taehyung quickly gave him full attention, he stopped crying completely by that time.
"You know that we have off from Tuesday onwards due to a festival in college. So I was thinking about an outing to the forest side... do you wanna join?" Bogum asked while scratching his head with nervousness.
"I would love to." Taehyung beamed back and jumped on his seat while clapping, his eyes literally got bigger in pure excitement.
"Actually I love nature... it would be a perfect chance for me to draw some beautiful scenery. I will come." He explained while daydreaming and Bogum smiled at his cuteness. He pinched his cheeks lightly, feeling contented when the younger didn't stop him. But soon Taehyung's smile dropped, catching Bogum's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"My owner... what would I say to him?" Taehyung was afraid that Jungkook will be mad if he is going to say that he wants to go on a trip with his friend.
"Well.. did he visit college or know about your teachers?" Bogum inquired seriously and Taehyung shook his head immediately.
"Then, it's no problem. Just tell him that it's a study tour of your whole class to draw natural scenery. He would definitely permit you." Bogum suggested proudly and Taehyung nodded for the time being.
"Now let's go have some ice cream." Bogum grabbed his hand and went to buy ice cream. They enjoyed the evening and Taehyung laughed a lot at the silly and lame jokes the other cracked here and there. He was feeling free with the other. Inhaling in the open air is really a blessing.
Bogum was mesmerized by his sweet giggles when he was playing with kids in the park. He even took some of his random pictures and to his surprise, all of them were too much perfect.
"You are so pretty, Taehyung." He mumbled while smiling at the blue-haired boy in front of him who was still busy drawing with kids.
Back to Jungkook, he went to Busan to attend a meeting with the boss of another Mafia. The boss was threatening him to hand over the weapons that he got from overseas.
"And why should I do that Mr. Yong?" Jungkook retorted to him as it was already an hour and the old freak was still arguing with him... definitely making him angry.
"Jungkook, you are younger than me. Your father established a good relationship with us but you are ruining it now." Yong gave him a sly smirk but he looked annoyed too.
"You are the one who is ruining it. I bought those weapons with lots of struggle by my men and now you are telling me to hand them over to you? Not so easy." Jungkook deadpanned at him.
"Whatever... I was afraid that I have to threaten you but I got to know something about your new toy." Yong got up from his seat and fake cried but Jungkook frowned at his words.
But the next words Yong said, really got him off guard, he actually felt threatened by those words... the reason he was always afraid of being weak, for being in love.
"You need to take care of your boy in your house...... ah what was his name.. yeah...
Taehyung."
