Chapter 39

(continue from the last chapter)

“Baby?” jungkook calls Again.

“Hm?” taehyung hums.

“Won’t you buy the things that you wear under clothes?” jungkook asks, he has no hesitancy in his voice.

“What things?” tae asks and Jungkook points his index finger to some bras and panties on a store.

Taehyung instantly looks down feeling shy and embarrassed. Why is this man saying these things shamelessly.

“Let me buy you matching red things.” jungkook speaks shamelessly.

“Sir what are you saying. Why would you buy me these.” taehyung says embarrassingly.

“Why?” jungkook frowns. “That poor ass bastard sehun bought you umm.. Umm. Matching red.. Umm.. Ummm.. Bra..umm panty. I saw it with my own eyes one day.” jungkook says, this time he gets embarrassed while mentioning bra panty.

“Eh.. You saw?” taehyung asks.

“Definitely. If he can buy you those things then why can’t I? ” the idol says with a very grumpy face yet child like stubborn voice.

“But he was my boyfriend that time and i planned to marry him.” taehyung says with a low voice.

“Now do you regret for making him boyfriend?” jungkook asks.

“Very. He is such a poor and disgusting person sir.” taehyung speaks.

“So let me buy. Did you forget that you made me sign wedding papers and I’m your legal husband?”

Suddenly taehyung feels something weird inside his chest hearing the word ‘husband’. His heart skips a beat and suddenly it starts beating so fast that he fears jungkook might hear it. He really forgot about jungkook being his legal husband but the thing is It’s actually true.

With shaky hand taehyung tucks some of his hair behind his ears and looks down with some red hue on his both cheeks. Jungkook is staring at him and the sudden thought of his legal husband staring at him is making him feel weird but in a good way.

“Tae? Do you still have something for sehun?” jungkook asks, giving taehyung a very suspicious look.

Hearing his taehyung comes out of his thoughts. “What rubbish are you saying, Sir? I Don’t hold feelings for long. I moved on by the next day of our breakup.” he says.

“Then why do you see me less than how you used to see sehun?”

“I Don’t understand, sir?”

“If that bastard fcking sehun can buy you those things and you accept happily, then why can’t i? Aint i treating you better than him? Have you noticed any bad intention in me? Have i ever touched you forcefully? Then why can’t i be the same or more than sehun? I’m literally Your husband. Legal husband.” the idol speaks when he runs out of patience. He is sulking in a way that makes him look like a baby who is complaining to his Guadian about something.

Taehyung stares at the idol’s face for 5 minutes trying to understand the meaning behind all these.
“Sir, you know i would say you are proposing me, but then i Don’t think anyone can propose someone with this sulking baby face which looks more like you are complaing about sehun buying me those things rather than you proposing me. So Let’s go from here..” he says, already walking out of the shop.

“Oh god i will go crazy. I should have sent his parents wedding proposal directly. I can’t take all these hassle anymore.” the idol murmurs frustratingly. “How did that sehun even managed to impress him? Should i just ask him for tips? But i Don’t have his number. Ugg what do i do? If things go like this then I’ll be 80 soon but still he Won’t like me back. What the fvck is wrong with my life?” the man speaks to Himself tiredly, following taehyung.

“BABY?” he again calls taehyung from behind. He loves to call taehyung baby, but he loves more when taehyung responses him.

“Yes sir?” taehyung answers.

“Don’t you want to buy any jewelries?” jungkook asks.

Taehyung laughs. “Sir you have gone mad I’m sure. Always speaking random weird things today. I’m a boy. Why would i wear jewelries.” he says.

“You can wear some rings or necklace or earrings.” jungkook suggests.

“I want to get earrings but i Don’t have my ears pierced.” taehyung says.

“Do you want to do it now?” the idol asks.

Taehyung looks at him with wide eyes. “Ear piercing now? Really sir?”

Jungkook nods. “Let’s go to the saloon of my personal hair stylist. He can do it. He can give you a new hair color too if you want.” he says.

Taehyung’s eyes get widen. The as usual big playful grin appears on his face again. “Ohh emm gee! Really sir? Hair color and ear piercing both?” he asks.

Jungkook Let’s out a laugh seeing taehyung’s adorable reaction. “If you want then of course.” he says. His all the frustration, annoyance, tiredness vanish immediately seeing the big smile of the boy. He suddenly feels refreshed and gets his energy back.

“Sir i want it please. I have always wanted a hair color but i never had the money.” taehyung says hurriedly.

“Okay then Let’s go there. Now i miss my car. Let me book a cab.” the idol says typing something on his phone. “Somehow i forgot that i could take a cab earlier too instead of taking a public train. It slipped away from my mind.” he says.

“It’s okay sir. We always take bus or local train. Cab costs a lot too. We can’t afford them daily.” taehyung says.

they take a cab and reach to the place where the saloon is located. Taehyung widens his eyes as he enters inside behind jungkook.

“Sir, why does it look like any restaurant? So big..” taehyung speaks with amused face making jungkook chuckle. The idol takes his mask off and puts it in his pocket.

Now taehyung’s eyes widen more. “Why are you taking off your mask sir? Won’t it would be a problem if they recognise you?” he asks.

“You look so adorable when you make your eyes big.” the idol says, ruffling taehyung’s hair. “And no, it Won’t be a problem.” he adds.

“Sir, this place looks so expensive. Will they charge us all our money or what?” tae asks.

“You Don’t have to worry about that baby.” jungkook says as both of them enter into a room where two people are sitting and scrolling phones. Both of them stand up seeing jungkook.

“What’s up jaykay? Suddenly?” a guy speaks.

“He needs a hair cut, then hair color and then ear piercing. Are you free now?” jungkook asks to the man.

“Yes! But who is this cutie?” the same guy speaks.

“Be respectful.” the idol says with a strict face.

“Ah okay..sorry. Come with me.” the guy says.

“Sir, i think i want a unique color that people Don’t Have usually.” taehyung says, sitting on a chair in front of the mirror and the guy from before puts a clothe around his body.

“So you want yellow color? Baby you are gonna look like a school bus.” jungkook says.

“Eww…why would i get yellow..” taehyung says making a disgust face.

“You said you want a color which is unusual. Yellow is unusual. Green is unusual too i guess. But you will look like a tree with green hair color.” the idol says.

“Light brown will suit him. Very light.” the hair stylist guy says.

“That’s what i think too. Use a color which doesn’t make him look old. He is 18 only.” the idol says.

The stylist guy nods and begins his work. Taehyung stare at Himself through the mirror. He sees how the hair stylist at first cuts his hair in a shape and begins applying some kind of hair color and then puts aluminium foil like thing with his hair.

“Now he needs to wait for sometimes for the hair to adopt the new color.” the stylist says after an hour, finishing his job.

“Then Let’s get your ears pierced till the color settles down.” jungkook says.

“Sir, will it hurt?” taehyung asks.

“A little bit. But it will be okay soon. Let’s go.” the idol says.

Taehyung comes to another room holding jungkook’s hand and there he sees another guy with weird tennis ball like hair color, tattooes till his neck, piercings all over his face.

“Sit on that chair.” the guy says to taehyung and jungkook helps him sit there. and again he sits beside taehyung on another chair.

“Sir, it Won’t hurt right?” taehyung asks Again with frightened face.

“Not really. It’s Just a machine. Like a stapler.” jungkook assures.

Taehyung gulps in nervousness and waits for the guy to pierce his ear lobes. Soon he sees the guy applying something on his ear lobes and after sometimes he comes with a small machine like thing and fixes it around his earlobes.

“Is this place okay?” the guy asks.

“Just a little bit lower. Like girls get their ears pierced.” jungkook says. The guy nods and lowers the machine a little bit.

Taehyung holds his breath in fear waiting for the machine to Pierce his ear. Then Suddenly out of nowhere he flinches badly and a sharp pain shoots through his ear.

He turns his head to jungkoook slowly, his eyes are teary, lips wobbly.

Seeing the scene jungkook bites his lips nervously, waiting for a outburst. But instead taehyung suddenly presses his face onto his chest and sobs out. And then begins sniffing and sobbing continuously hiding his face on the man’s chest.

“Baby?” jungkook calls.

“STOP CALLING ME BABY YOU LIER. I WILL CHARGE FOR EACH BABY. YOU SAID IT DOESN’T HURT. BUT IT DOES HURT A LOT.” taehyung screams, still hiding his face. He refuses to let the unknown saloon guy see his tear soaked face.

“One more ear baby. Then it will be over.” jungkook says caressing tae’s head.

“I don’t want it.” taehyung says.

“Baby just let him do the other ear too. I will buy you ointment to cure the pain soon.” jungkook says.

“No i Don’t want it. It hurts a lot.” taehyung continues his sobs.

Jungkook stays silent. He gestures the saloon guy something and the guy carefully put the machine around taehyung’s other ear, he does it very carefully so taehyung can’t understand as he still has his face pressed on jungkook’s chest and the idol has his one hand wrapped around taehyung’s head to stop him from moving.

And then again Taehyung flinches out and screams biting on jungkook’s chest harshly when the same sharp pain shoots through his another ear.

“Ahhh baby leave please. It hurts. Taehyung?” the idol says tapping on taehyung’s back as the bite is so harsh. But as he asks tae to leave him, the boy only increases his force onto that bite.

“Aahh baby i swear it’s bleeding. Please leave. Babyyy” the idol says with a painful expression, closing his eyes trying to tolerating the pain.

Taehyung holds onto the bite for few more seconds and then finally pulls away with a very aggressive face. “You lier i will kill you. Why did you lie to me that it doesn’t pain?” taehyung hisses like a snake and jungkook immediately backs away from him, fearing of getting another bite From the boy.

“Baby look my chest is bleeding. Your teeth mark has sunken deep…” the idol says rubbing the wound. He opens the first button of his shirt and shows the bite mark to taehyung. The blood has soaked his white shirt.

“My ears are bleeding too you hoe. It’s paining. You lied.” saying taehyung tries to touch his left ear and hisses in pain.

“Are both ears done?” jungkook asks the saloon guy while pressing a tissue Against the wound to stop bleeding.

The saloon guy nods. “Take this ointment and rub on your ears. The wound will dry soon.” he says.

“Now Let’s go and check your hair.” jungkook says trying to get close to taehyung, but he backs away immediately too seeing how taehyung is glaring at him.

When the hair stylist washes off the hair color from taehyung hair and dries them, it appears shiny but light brown color. Taehyung stares at Himself through mirror for at least 10 minutes silently. And jungkook stands behind him looking at the boy through the mirror.

“Is something wrong baby?” jungkook asks, breaking 10 minutes of long silence.

“Why does my hair look like dog poop?” taehyung speaks finally.

“What?” jungkook asks not understanding the boy.

“Dog poop has the same color as my hair. Change it right now.” tae says.

“Baby it looks good. Believe me. You are looking like a newborn with this hair color i swear.” jungkook says.

“Really sir?” taehyung asks hopefully turning his head to the man and he (jk) nods. “But i wanted red or blue. I wanted to be a mermaid.”

“You are prettier than a mermaid. Natural diva…” jungkook says squeezing taehyung’s both cheeks.

“Right. I’m so beautiful that people question me how many plastic surgeries i got. But they Don’t know I’m born poor and my appa can’t afford any surgery which Isn’t going to save me from death. Girls are so jealous of my beauty.” saying taehyung laughs loudly.

“You know sir, in my school i had few friends. But they never took me anywhere with them when their boyfriends were with them too. Because they thought their boyfriends would like me more.” taehyung continues his story with loud lough.

“Right, that’s why i need to hurry up. Or else who knows someone appear from under the ground or falls from the sky just to take you away.” jungkook murmurs to Himself.

“Okay babe. Now get up. We need to leave. Your father might think i ran away with you.” the idol says.

“Omo sir, you are calling me babe now…. You are so desperate for a girlfriend that now you are using your girlfriend’s pet names on me.” saying taehyung laughs again.

“Be serious. I’m not that cringe to call my girlfriends baby babe or whatever. Never called anyone those names. They didn’t deserve these pet names.” jungkook says with a very serious face.

“Then why are you calling me babe and baby? Don’t you feel cringe now?

” umm… It’s just your face… So cute and adorable so i think pet names suit you more than taehyung. Taehyung is such a big name. Baby or babe is short.” jungkook reasons.

“That’s right. But you know sir, taehyung Isn’t that bad name. My grandpa was about to name me kim douwo. Thank god he didn’t. Or else people would call me pizza dough.” saying taehyung cries dramatically.

“That was a horrible name idea. Anyway Let’s go. Do you want to have dinner with me? Let me book a cabin for us then.” jungkook says, walking out of the saloon with taehyung.

“No sir, eomma will scold me if i skip dinner at home. But buy me some cold drinks pleaseee…” taehyung speaks like a baby, hugging jungkook’s right arm.

“Will you be always like this when you have 5 children and pregnant with the 6th one?” the idol asks suddenly, making taehyung stop on his track.

“I can tolerate till 5. If anyone wants more then i Won’t marry.” the boy says.

“Don’t worry babe. You will adjust.” the man says calmly.

Jungkook buys taehyung some snacks and then books a cab for them. The first destination is taehyung’s house.

Just as the cab stops near the apartment building, instead of getting down taehyung starts peaking outside through the window glass.

“What are you trying to see?” jungkook asks. But taehyung stays silent. Then he opnes the cab door a little bit and looks up to the balcony of their house.

“Oh em gee! I’m dead. My appa is standing on the balcony and staring at me. He will cut me in pieces today.” taehyung says with a wide eyes and closes the door.

“Do you want me to go to Your house and tell him that you were with me?” jungkook asks.

“Bold of you assume that you can save me from my appa. When he gets angry, both noona and i hide our-selves somehow. Don’t you see my appa has a permanent angry face? Even when he is laughing i can’t make out if It’s angry laugh or happy laugh. He is so scary!” saying taehyung begins crying out of nowhere and bangs his head with jungkook’s arm.

“Why are you crying now?” jungkook asks.

“I can’t take my snacks with me now since appa is looking at me. I’ll have to leave them here. But sir please keep them okay? Next time we meet bring these for me.” the boy says while getting out of the car.

“I’m going sir. It’s past 9. Pray for me today. If I’m alive then I’ll call you. If you Don’t get my call then assume I’m dead.” taehyung says but sees jungkook is coming out of the car too.

“Oh lord why are you coming out. Now appa sees you and will never let me meet you again.” taehyung panics.

“Stop being dramatic and go home. If he asks why you are let tell him the truth that you were dying your hair.” jungkook says. Taehyung nods and begins walking inside.

When taehyung is out of his his sight, jungkook looks at the balcony too. Taehyung’s father is still standing There and now directly looking at him.

The idol feels confused and nervous. After he sent his parents to tae’s house, It’s the first time he is seeing the man. Now since both of their eyes meet, should he just bow to him?

Jungkook feels terrible dilemma. If he doesn’t bow then it will be disrespectful. What if tae’s father says you Didn’t bow me so i Won’t let taehyung meet you anymore?

And if he bows then It’s going to look weird since there is a huge distance between them. He is standing on the ground and taehyung’s father is on the 6th floor. It’s going to look ridiculous.

But Still the idol ends up bowing to taehyung’s father facing his side, doesn’t matter it looks funny. He doesn’t want to take any risk of making this man dissatisfied.
