Back in K Residency - Tae's Home
Taehyung's POV

"Leave me alone Hyung!" I yanked my arms off Namjoon Hyung who was holding me close to him upon entering my living room.

"Tae. I told you to calm down. Nothing is gonna make sense if you keep screaming and just throwing a tantrum." Namjoon Hyung yelled at me, probably sick of my attitude by now.

"Yah Namjoon. Keep your voice low. I don't need another person yelling mindlessly in this household. You understand me?" Seokjin Hyung said through gritted teeth. I know he is usually the calmer one among us but I'm sure he is probably getting impatient with all these too.

"I'm sorry Hyung. I...I know I'm behaving like a child." I sat down hesitantly on my couch and said through a trembling voice. Flash memories of what happened at the event keep flooding through my mind. I can't believe I didn't put two into two together about Jungkook and who he really is.

"Taebear, I understand you're being overwhelmed. But trust me. I don't think so Jungkook is as bad as you're thinking he is now." Jimin said as he kneeled down in front of me taking my hands on his.

"Jimin. Please. The last thing I need right now is you sucking up his ass and defending him." I said sensing my anger is growing like a wild fire in me.

"Words. Words. Taehyung. You can't just spit on anyone who cares and trying to help you here." Yoongi Hyung moved behind Jimin.

"Hyung. Let it be. I'm sure he is very stressed out now. Even I didn't expect this. Although it might explain him being wealthy at such a young age and working as a freelancer couldn't have gotten him much." Hoseok Hyung sat beside me and patted my back as if telling me it's gonna be ok.

"I don't get it why everyone is jumping to a conclusion here. It's better if we have Jungkook here to talk this through. We are just accusing without evidences." Jimin stood back up and paced back and forth getting annoyed.

"What else you need? What else Jimin? You saw how fucking Shay Ken introduced him? The one and only heir to the MNC he was partnering with!! Jungkook knew about this and he didn't let us know?" I yelled on top of my lungs making all my others hyungs jump a little in shock.

"How sure are you he knew Taehyung?" Jimin asked me.

I was gazing so angrily at Jimin that I didn't register what he said.

"I said how sure you knew that Jungkook is aware about all these?" Jimin repeated himself.

"Guys. Please settle down. We have a bigger issue than this. Don't get into each other's nerves now." Hoseok Hyung hold onto both my and Jimin.

"I'm sorry..I really am. Just give me some time. Leave me alone Hyung. I need to breathe." I said hanging my head low unable to fight or say anything anymore.

"Fine. We will be down at my place. Once you're calmed down. Find us." Namjoon Hyung gave me a hug before gathering all the others to his home.

Before exiting, Jimin turned back and gave me a hug too. "Taebear, relax ok? And please, keep a clear head. Things might not be as it seems to be."

I just nodded into the hug keeping both my hands flopped lifelessly at my side unable to return the hug.

Once I heard the door shut closed, I fell on my knees and started to sob my heart out. Why? Why does this have to happen? I though I was having a good life after all these years...why? I clenched onto my chest ripping my coat off feeling like my heart was about to be ripped apart too. No Jungkook...no..

Third Person POV

After all the boys are back in Namjoon and Seokjin's home, they gathered around one of the kitchen island and sat in silence.

"Tea? Coffee anyone? Water at least?" Seokjin said in attempt to break the silence.

"Fine! Everyone just keep their mouth shut. I'll have a glass of cold beer for myself." Seokjin throw his hands on the air and opened the fridge to take out a can of beer.

"Hyung. How did you find out about Jungkook?" Jimin broke the silence after that, eager to know what actually happened.

"Yea. All I know was I saw Jungkook entering the hall, being announced as heir of MNC and I turned to find Taehyung being a mess." Hoseok said and joined with Jin to grab a can of Sprite for himself.

"Actually. It's been a while since I started to investigate about Jungkook. Since the day Tae called me in his office to mention about the stolen concept. I had my suspicions on Jungkook, which of coz Taehyung denied and didn't wanna listen to me." Yoongi explained.

"Of coz, they were practically already dating at that time. You think he'd listen?" Seokjin said.

"Precisely Hyung. That's why I went behind Tae's back to look more in details. I didn't tell him and pretended all was fine. This morning, my private investigator told me about the source of where the data was hacked from and subsequently finding out the truth behind Jungkook. I didn't waste anymore time before I took the file and ran out of the office to get you guys at the hall."

Yoongi opened up how he found the information about Jungkook. He also went ahead to explain that Shay Ken actually resides in the same building too.

"So Yoongi Hyung, both Jungkook and Shay lives in same residency and the data is hacked from there correct?" Namjoon said while resting his chin on his hands.

Yoongi simply nodded.

"But we don't know if Jungkook is involved in hacking the data too, correct?" Namjoon asked again.

"That's why I keep saying we don't have enough evidence guys. We can't accuse Jungkook just coz we found out he is some rich ass heir of J.Tulip." Jimin crossed his arms looking around his hyungs.

"Well...technically I didn't say he was behind the hacking. I was merely stating the facts when Taehyung blew up and with Jungkook walking in right at that time, it didn't help the situation at all." Yoongi held onto the file on his hands and left out a huge breathe.

"Shit! Then there is a possibility Taehyung misunderstood Jungkook?" Hosoek's eyes widened in surprised thinking about the possibility of the situation.

"Knowing Taebear, he probably is in deep emotional turmoil now that I won't be surprised if he is not ready to hear any explanations. And we can't get hold of Jungkook now with all these mess." Seokjin held both his hand on his waist contemplating how to sort this out.

"Yea, Jin Hyung is right. Tae is very stubborn and he really really hates it when his work gets messed up. Not gonna lie, this time it involves the love of his life and the project closest to his heart." Namjoon knows how much his lil brother probably is hurting right now.

"Taehyung is stubborn but we can't deny he loves Jungkook so much too. I see it in him. I hope he can sort this out." Jimin ran his fingers through his hair not believing the mess they are in now.

"Hmm and we have our event scheduled within a week. What are we gonna do?" Hoseok said realising the fact their event suppose to take place in a week.

"We are gonna do it." A deep voice radiated through the kitchen shifting all the 5 heads around the table to face the entrance.

There stood the almighty Taehyung with his stone cold face. He looked emotionless although his face looked a little swollen with nose red freshly after a meltdown.

He walked in the kitchen grabbing the can of beer from Jin's hand and chucking half of the can down in one gulp.

He wiped off the liquid spilling off his mouth and said once again "Two can play the game. We are gonna do it. And we are doing it in 2 days."

Taehyung smashed the empty beer can on his hand and threw it perfectly aiming the rubbish can at the side.

"Taehyung, what? In 2 days?" Namjoon sat upright bewildered with his little brother's statement.

"Tae, how are we suppose to pull off an event like 4 days before the scheduled date?" Hoseok shook his head not believing this.

"I said we are gonna do it. Everything is done. We just have to change a bit of the logistic and be there. Look good. That's all." Taehyung opened the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of whiskey.

Looking at the state he is in, no one even dare to stop him. Not even Jin who was standing arms crossed beside him. He just switched his gaze back and forth between Taehyung and Namjoon showing his worried look at his boyfriend.

"That's all? Yah Taehyung. We need to move an entire logistic plan 4 days in advance and not to mention the invites are sent for this Sat!" Yoongi gasped.

"So? It's not that you can't handle it Hyung. You're called sassy Suga for a reason, you have your ways in making things work. So now, do the magic. I trust you." Tae winked at Yoongi which the older raised his brows although he felt a hint of pride taking what Tae said as a compliment.

"Listen Tae, we get it. You're upset. But this is not how things should be done. Think about the children. We can't rush this and mess things up for them. Jungkook and you worked hard for the children." Jimin moved a little closer attempting to calm his best fiend who seem to aggressively emptying glasses by glasses of whiskey.

"Shut up! I said shut up! Don't mention his name here. I don't wanna listen. I know it's for the children, that why I can't let some assholes to steal this away. I will make it happen in 2 days and we will channel all the profits to the children. More than that loser SHAY KEN AND HIS FUCKING MNC PARTNERS!" 

Taehyung slammed the glass back onto the island table, thankfully not breaking it, and he walked himself out of the kitchen.

"And listen, kick Jungkook out from all the preps. Tomorrow meet at the office, 8 am sharp. We got shit ton to do and people to screw. Bye." Taehyung saluted his goodbyes leaving all his hyungs and Jimin's mouth wide open in shock.

"Well...tell me why I made him the CEO again?" Namjoon said.

"I've never seen Tae this mad before. Shit. It's either we do his way or we risk of losing investors for the event thus failing the children." Jimin voiced his concern.

"Hmm, we can do this guys. As much as I'm uncertain about Jungkook now but I remember him seeing something special in us, in this circle. If anyone can do this then it's us."Hoseok radiated his best positive energy and smiled widely, somehow hiding his own concerns.

"Hoseok is right. We have to do this. This is the counter reaction that Shay wouldn't expect. I will find out more about SK Co and J.Tulip's contract, meanwhile we need to keep Jungkook out of this and Taehyung in check. Agree?" Yoongi walked forward putting his hands out to seal the agreement between them.

"Hmm Mhmm, let's do this. We are all they have now. Both of them." Jimin walked beside Yoongi and gently placed his hands on the older's shoulder.

Soon, all 5 of them gathered in a circle making an agreement that they will support Tae with the event but at the same time will leave Jungkook out now for the better.
.
.
Back in Tae's home, he quietly walked pass his bed and headed to the bathroom to soak himself under the cold shower. He didn't even bother to undress himself.

After a long time standing under the shower until his skin started to wrinkle, Taehyung stepped out and stripped himself naked before robbing himself into a bathrobe.

He walked like a robot to his bed and flopped back down silently sobbing into his pillow which faintly carries the lavender and musky scent of Jungkook.

"I hate you...I hate you...Jeon Jungkook." Taehyung sobbed while curling into a ball on his bed knowing he is clearly lying to himself. He doesn't hate the younger, he loves him a lot that it hurts.

Author's Note

Hello lovelies 💜

Are you guys still here? 😂 Well sorry if this is a boring one. I wanted to make a filler again. I always liked the arrogant sassy Tae in fanfics, though I'm not much of a top or bottom Tae, I really like the dominance in Tae.

On a flip side, I love when Jungkook "fights" back too. Poor boy, he is probably clueless of what's happening back in the hyungs house and his boyfriend. Hmm, maybe he will sort things out soon too? And what if Jungkook isn't really the heir of J.Tulip? What if Yoongi messed up?

Hihi...take care loves! Hope you're enjoying my simple writing. 💜😊
