Chapter 19
Taehyung’s broken self is improving day by day. His fractured leg is almost cured and bandages are removed. but still he uses a supporting stick and limps while walking. His neck pain has cured too. But his hand is still bandaged and hanging with his neck like mammie hand. The doctor already said his hand needs more than a month to be recovered.
Taehyung gets ready for his job with the help of his sister and then leaves the house. The bus station is 10 minutes by walk from their house. Since taehyung can’t walk normally he needs more than 10 minutes. After reaching to the station taehyung seats on a place and waits for the bus.
While he is waiting he decides to check on his twitter account which he has created to specifically make fun of jeon jungkook. He keeps posting random edits like jungkook sitting on the street to poo or peeing on a wall. Or he puts jungkook’s head on girls wearing saree or man wearing lungi and posts them on twitter. He does not get much attention. Only 10-15 likes on his post if he uses the hashtag of jungkook.
While he laughs on his own edits, a bus stops in front of him and he gets inside. After looking through the whole bus he finds only one seat is left at the end so he hurriedly sits there.
Taehyung has been minding on his own business until he notices a pregnant woman arguing with a young man about something.
“Can you please, let me seat here? The bus is full and i really can’t do journey by standing in this state”‘ the pregnant woman says touching her big round belly.
Hearing this the young man smiles. ” you can sit on my lap. I Don’t mind.” he says making the woman visibly uncomfortable.
Hearing their conversation taehyung stands up. “Sister, you can seat on my place.” taehyung says.
The women sees taehyung with broken hand and a stick, so she rejects saying, “no no, It’s fine. You seat.”
“No sister, you seat. I have found another place to seat.” saying taehyung stands up and makes the woman seat on his place. And then he walks to the young man and out of nowhere almost jumps on his lap without speaking anything. The man almost yells in pain that he got on his balls by taehyung’s jump on his lamp.
“What the hell? What is your problem?” the young man asks taehyung.
“You said she could seat on your lap. But i thought she would be heavier with pregnant belly for you to carry her on your lap. So i made her sit on my place and i sit on your lap instead.” taehyung says with straight face and stares outside.
The man smiles hearing this and checks taehyung top to bottom. “That’s a great deal. I like you better. What’s your name cutie?” the man asks.
“Rabindranath Tagore brownson.” taehyung answers.
The man laughs knowing taehyung is lying. “How do you pronounce it? I Couldn’t understand. Can you repeat?” he asks.
“I Don’t repeat anything.” taehyung answers with a serious face.
“Okay what’s your parents name?” the guy asks.
“My fathers name is kim jung won blackson and my mother’s name is donald trump whiteson.”
The guy laughs out loud. He slowly touches taehyung’s waist. “You are funny. Can i get your number?” he says with a low voice.
This time taehyung turns to him and glares. “Bold of you assume that someone like me who has got this beautiful face will give my number to a guy who uses public bus for transportation instead of personal car. I may be poor and use public transport but my type is rich and Lamborghini.” saying taehyung stands up and stands away from the man.
when the bus stops in his station he gets down. Then he walks 7 more minutes to reach to the company.
When he is entering inside, he sees a black car is also entering through the gate. He knows the car belongs to jeon jungkook. He has heard jeon jungkook owns several cars but he uses this one for company. Taehyung sees the car parking at the parking area and jeon jungkook coming out.
“Annyeong hasseyo sir!” taehyung bows with a huge smile. Jungkook only looks at him but says nothing.
“Sir, will you let me enter with you in the idol’s lift? I want to use that lift once at least.” taehyung says walking toward jungkook. The building has several elevators but staffs can’t use the elevators that idols use. There are different elevators for staff. So today seeing jungkook taehyung decides to tag along with him and surprisingly jungkook doesn’t say anything.
Jungkook presses his thumb on a specific button of the lift and the slide door of the lifts opens. Once jungkook enters inside, taehyung hurriedly follows him inside and immediately makes a disappointed face.
“This lift is also the same as staff lift. I thought there would be chairs and some luxurious stuff for idols.” taehyung says, actually not knowing why the staff and idols use different lifts.
Jungkook stays silent for some moments. Then he speaks, “was it your boyfriend?”
“Who?” taehyung asks confusedly and looks at jungkook.
“The guy on whose lap you were sitting on the bus.” the idol asks. His car was just beside a random bus and there he saw taehyung inside the bus, sitting on a guy’s lap and the guy laughing loudly.
“You saw me sir?” saying taehyung laughs. “That was a pervert and i was teaching him a lesson.” as taehyung says the lift stops at 17th floor and they walk out.
“That guy asked a pregnant woman sit on his lap. So i sat on his lap instead to teach him a lesson. He even asked my number but of course i Don’t give my numbers to poor people.” taehyung explains with a loud laugh.
But the guy was laughing- the idol wants to ask it but stops himself. Taehyung leaves to another direction for his work and jungkook goes to his own work.
Couple of hours later jungkook comes to his usual room after practicing dance for two straight hours. The first thing he sees is taehyung is sleeping like a starfish on the couch.
He switches on the fan and sits on a chair to calm his sweaty tired body down. The room does not have any other staff currently so It’s completely silence.
Sitting on the chair, jungkook silently stares at taehyung’s face. Peaceful and innocent looking face but does so many stupidity. Who the hell sits on a random man’s lap like this? As he Stares at taehyung with the warm feeling on his chest, he sees taehyung’s phone is ringing beside him.
Jungkook makes an annoyed face seeing the caller id which says “hubby”. The call goes off after a while and a couple of second later it rings again. Jungkook looks away annoyingly and closes his eyes. The ringtone of the phone is about to make his ear bleed. But thankfully the call again goes off.
So he opens his eyes and again looks at taehyung. He notices has a habit of sleeping with an open mouth. While staring at taehyung, suddenly something comes in his mind. He takes his phone from the table and unlocks it. Then he takes some photo of sleeping taehyung. His mother wants to see who dared to sign her son wedding papers so he sends one of taehyung’s photo to his mother.
And just a minute later his phone rings showing his Mother’s calling. He receives the call.
” hello eomma?” he speaks.
“Is that boy with you right now?” his mother asks.
“Yes. Why?” he asks.
“Give him the phone. Let me talk to him.”
“What? No! You wanted to see him so i send him a photo only.”
“Let me talk.. Give him the phone ggukie.”
“No eomma.”
Taehyung stirs in his sleep hearing sounds. He slowly opens his eyes and sees jungkook is sitting in front of him and talking with someone while staring at him.
Taehyung rubs his eyes and yawns loudly. “Annyeong hasseyo sir! You are late today.” he says and again leans with the sofa.
Jungkook rises his eyebrows. Does taehyung has a habit of forgetting things too? He is talking as if he is meeting with jungkook just now.
“Gguk? Is it he speaking? Give him the phone. Let me talk.” his mother again speaks.
Jungkook sighs loudly. “Taehyung?” he calls.
Taehyung raises his palm till his forehead in a salut manner. “Yes sir!” he says with closed eyes.
“Do you want to talk with my mother?” jungkook asks.
Taehyung forwards his hand without saying anything. Jungkook hesitantly gives his phone on taehyung’s palm.
“Hello grandma!” taehyung says loudly with his sleepy voice and closed eyes.
Jungkook slams his palm on his forehead frustratingly. “That’s my eomma taehyung!”
This time taehyung opens his eyes and sits up properly. “Why am i talking with your mother sir? I thought your grandma is about to pass away and her last wish was meeting her grandson’s wife. So you are asking me to talk with her pretending to be your wife to fulfill her last wish. Like in dramas.” taehyung speaks.
“Oh please you Don’t Have to talk. Give me my phone.” jungkook says, about to take back his phone from taehyung.
“No! Wait, I’ll talk. It’s bad to disrespect elders.” taehyung says and holds the phone near his ears again. “Anneyong hasseyo, anty!” taehyung speaks like a rhyme.
“What’s your name boy?” Jungkook’s mother asks.
“My name is kim taehyung. My father’s name is kim seojon, Mother’s name is kim seron, i also have a sister named kim jiya. We are native to daegu but live in seoul because of my father’s job. He is a government worker in the electricity office. I’m 18 years old and graduated from a high school. Currently we are looking for a groom for my sister. Please let me know if you know a young man with a good job.” taehyung speaks in one breath while bowing, as if jungkook’s mother is just in front of him.
Jungkook’s mother stays silent for sometimes and then says, “give the phone back to my son”
“Sir she wants to talk with you.” taehyung says giving back the phone to jungkoook who is looking at him with done face.
“Great first impression!” the idol murmurs gritting his teeth and takes the phone back from taehyung. “Yes eomma?” he speaks up.
“What kind of boy is this? I only asked his name and he game me his whole biodata. This boy will bring trouble for you ggukie, I’m telling you.” she says.
“Eomma I’ll call you later.” saying he hangs up and looks at taehyung who is staring at the floor.
“I wanted to sleep on the staff room sir, but they were making so much noise so i came here.” taehyung speaks up.
Jungkook Stays silent for sometimes. Then he speaks up. “Do you sit on random people’s lap like this always?” he has been stopping Himself from asking it since the morning. But he can not anymore.
Taehyung gives him a bored look. “Do i look like stupid that I’ll sit on random people’s lap? I only sit on my hubby’s lap.” taehyung says. “When we visit any park, sometimes he makes me sit on his lap and gives a lots of kisses and pampers me like a baby..” he says being a blushing mess.
Hearing this jungkook feels uneasy. He looks away from taehyung with clenched jaw.
“Oh my god! I forgot to call my hubby. He will be angry on me.!” taehyung says going through his own phone and hurriedly dials his boyfriend’s number.
“Hubby sorry i slept accidentally!” taehyung speaks once his bf receives the call and leaves the room while talking with him.
Jungkook watches taehyung leaving the room. He can’t help but feel sudden anger raising through his whole body. Annoyingly he pushes his hair back with his hand.
“That fcking hubby word is about to make my ears bleed.” he speaks to Himself gritting his teeth. He just does not like how taehyung uses the word hubby. Maybe because it makes him cringe. Or maybe because of something else which he Isn’t ready to recognise.
It’s past 7 pm and jungkook is going back to his home. His mood is already bad and now his car is stopped at trafic singal for the last two minutes and there’s no sign of the front car moving.
He takes a deep breath and turns off the song that has been playing. Normally he looks outside and suddenly his gaze stops at something familiar. He frowns trying to see it clearly and moves near the window of the car more. There he sees clearly-
Taehyung, with a tall young boy. He recognises the other boy looks like the same boy whom once he saw picking uo taehyung with a bike. Currently they are in a 2nd floor of a tall building and buying something. And they can be clearly seen from outside because of the glass wall of the building and how the place is lit up with bright lights.
Jungkook’s whole mood turns sour in a second and what pisses him to the extreme level when he saw what they are buying. Taehyung is looking through some under garments and the boy is standing with him.
Jungkook’s hold on the steering wheel gets tighten. He clenches his jaw so tightly that makes his neck vain pops up. He looks away when he starts feeling something else beyond anger. He tries to calm Himself down but then again looks at them and this time it looks like the boy is choosing undergarments for taehyung.
Seeing the scene Jungkook punches on the steering wheel when his anger starts pushing his edge. But luckily the steering wheel stays intact.
He just can’t Understand why he is reacting like this suddenly. So this is the reason he didn’t see taehyung at the company in the afternoon. And the manager said taehyung had some important walk so he left early.
“That’s his important work? Buying bra panties with another person when he has just talked with my eomma today.” he speaks gritting his teeth, but honestly he doesn’t understand the meaning behind his own words.
In the mean time the cars in front of him move and cars behind him give horn asking him to move. He parks the car beside the street. Again he doesn’t know why he has parked his car instead of leaving.
Few minutes later he sees taehyung and the boy are coming out of the shop with few bags. Both of them get on a bike which mostly likely belongs to the boy and taehyung hugs the boy’s waist tightly with his boxy smile. Then they leave.
This scene makes him so disturbed that Jungkook starts his car too to follow them but unfortunately because of a big car in front of him, he loses the way they have taken turn.
