Third Person POV

Taehyung's Home

All of them have figured out about Jungkook's origin, but no one knew how did he manage to get the letter on his hand.
.
"Well..." Jungkook dragged his words intentionally not knowing how to explain the whole story behind his discovery of the letter.

"Well what? Come on? I love you to bits but I have no patience baby. Come on." Seokjin places his palm on his chin waiting in anticipation.

"Yea you better hurry up Jungkook before your Jin Hyung here turn violent. He hates anticipations." Namjoon was diligently sipping his orange juice and eating the breakfast his boyfriend made him.

"Well...it was with me all the while." Jungkook broke the truth apart.

All the eyes again turned to him in shock with Taehyung narrowing his gaze at him darkly.

"With you? All this while? What does that mean?" Taehyung put down his spoon full of cereals and turned to face the younger.

Oh no.

The rest of the boys were either getting nervous with Tae's temper or simply enjoying the bubbling drama between Taekook (well mostly YoonMin who are enjoying it. They are little devils but adorable ones).

"Yes. It was with me the whole time."

"What the fuck???? Did you not brain the whole problem which we faced Jungkook? Did you not think about giving me the paper when Shay fucked me up?" Taehyung banged the table in anger and stood up furiously.

"Taehyung. You're doing it again. Why are you getting agitated and angry when Jungkook is not done explaining yet?" Namjoon stepped in feeling concerned for his lil brother.

"What else we need Hyung? More mess? I really thought I've done digesting infos and now here it goes again." Taehyung threw his hands in the air frustratedly.

"Hyung. Let me explain again. You're doing just what you did last night. Allow me to talk. Please. I beg you." Jungkook stood up facing the older and cried out a little coz he is getting tired of this.

"Jungkook. You can explain. Taehyung you can shut up. We all deserve to know and you're not the only one involved in this." Yoongi said.

Jungkook noticed Taehyung was standing arms crossed against his chest, almost like he was defending himself. He didn't bother and explained to the hyungs on how did he manage to find the letter.

"Actually...actually it was the day when Taehyungie Hyung came to my place. He wanted me to sign the paper. I remember I didn't attend the meeting at the office that day."

"Oh yes. I know. I was fitting clothes so I asked Taehyung to go to your house." Jimin recalled and enlightened the situation.

Jungkook nodded indicating that was the day he was referring to.

"So, he came. And actually we...we kissed that day. A little bit of hands on make out session too. He accidentally dropped the file on his hand after I signed." Jungkook explained with a little embarrassment about their "hiding" period from his hyungs.

"Oh yea. I forgot you guys sneaked around for a bit." Hoseok said.

"But how did you get the letter then Kookie ah?" Jimin was curious.

"Urm lets just say it was dropped when we were so into each other and we didn't notice the piece of paper was swiped underneath my couch. I didn't notice it and so does Tae. It was left there until my mom actually noticed it while cleaning when she was at my place."

Jungkook looked around the table and felt puzzled with all their reactions.

"But Jungkook, shouldn't your parents get to know about the whole concept thing and how it belongs to K.Co and not Shay?" Namjoon was stringing the puzzles together and voiced out.

"Urm hyungs. Actually they did."

"They did and they just went ahead with signing Shay anyways? They even proudly attended the event?" Taehyung questioned but his voice came out a little stern that it sounded like he was accusing Jungkook's parents.

"Hyung. Please. You don't have to be rude. You didn't allow me to explain fully last night either coz you literally fuc..." Jungkook came to an abrupt stop when he realize everyone else was looking at them eyes wide open with anticipation.

"Shut up. That has nothing to do with this." Taehyung whispered yelled closely to Jungkook.

"Then listen! Don't just cut me and Fck me when I'm about to explain!!" Jungkook yelled.

"Damn. Yoongi Hyung, they are more intense than us. So dramatic." Jimin was popping blueberries into his mouth while enjoying the drama.

Taehyung went speechless with the younger's bold voice and decided to keep quiet while listening to him.

"So. When mom found out about the letter. I broke the entire news and was really glad we found the letter. Although I could have confronted Shay and made Taehyung hyung's name clear of this, it wouldn't have felt right."

"Damn you're right! The way you just screwed him at the event was epic! I loved it Kookie!" Seokjin clapped his hands feeling the excitement of the night before.

"Well Hyung. I appreciate that but perhaps not all of you might agree, so I decided to just inform Jimin Hyung briefly and asked him to allow me in." Jungkook smiled fondly at Jimin as a sincere thank you.

"So it was you?" Taehyung shot Jimin a look which was enough to scare the little mochi and he moved to hide behind Yoongi.

"I couldn't have salvaged the day without his help though. Plus, mom and dad wanted to attend the event and allow Shay to have all the glory before taking legal actions against him."

"Sh*t! So it means Mr and Mrs Jeon filing case against that piece of ass?" Hoseok asked bewildered?

Jungkook again nodded confirming the news.

Cheers went around the table except for Taehyung who still stood there like a tree rooted to the ground. Jungkook was very disappointed at the older and his heart started breaking all over again.

"We are very grateful for your parents Jungkook. They indeed made the wise decision catching Shay off guard. We apologise they had to encounter a culprit who used our concept to lure them in." Namjoon spoke in despair feeling sorry.

"Ah no Hyung. Mom and dad are completely fine with it. They are glad you guys were very genuine and they in fact praised all the efforts put into it." Jungkook assured Namjoon that his parents are of no bad blood with anyone here.

"That's good to know Jungkook ah. At least they are very understanding." Seokjin nodded his head admiring the ethical decision made by Jungkook's mom and dad.

"Thanks Jinnie Hyung. They decided to eventually close down Shay Ken's company coz apparently he did a lot of cheating cases as well." Jungkook informed the others.

The boys were not surprised about the news knowing what an asshole Shay can be. They have witnessed it first hand with Taehyung.

"But OMG Jungkook ah! You're an artist aren't you? No wonder you can live so comfortable! I found out one of my friend has your photo hung on his wall. He told me he got it for a million euro." Hoseok gasped in adoration.

Jungkook who still find it hard to reveal his own income and status felt very shy about this.

"Of coz! My baby Kookie here is multitalented. Don't you know already?" Seokjin leaned forward to ruffle Jungkook's hair admiring him.

"I thought he robbed a bank or something at first when I found out how much his assets worth." Yoongi chuckled a little.

"Hyung! You can't just go around and dig peoples assets. That's creepy." Hoseok narrowed his eyes.

While everyone seemed relieved with the reality, only Taehyung was left alone standing there at the back not moving an inch or saying anything.

"Taebear, are you alright? I thought everything is cleared out." Jimin walked closer to his best friend and swung an arm over Taehyung's intense shoulder.

Taehyung just broke into a small smile and averted his gaze to the younger. He couldn't help but to feel a lot of emotions swirling inside him. He is still not sure if he is capable of accepting Jungkook back after what happened.

"Taehyung ah, don't tell me you're still upset with Kookie? Come on. It's not fair." Jimin gently nudged Taehyung and kept his voice low not wanting others to hear him.

All the other boys were happily discussing and cheering that they didn't notice the two were closed up against each other.

"I don't know Jimin. My heart hurts. My brain is saying no but my heart is yelling out loud." Taehyung sunk his head lower trying to keep his composure.

He felt a jolt of emotion rushing into him that he knows he will break down any min if he stand any closer to Jungkook.

He knows in his conscious mind that Jungkook is nothing to blame. The younger did what is right and is doing what is right. But, Taehyung being himself, is just so stubborn that he can't seem to apologise and accept Jungkook back after what happened.

Taehyung threw one last look at Jungkook before leaving the kitchen and his home entirely with all the hyungs and Jungkook alone at his home. He left without a word.
.
.
"Well Jungkook ah, let me just tell you, Taehyung is not an easy person. To be honest I was very surprised how close you guys have gotten with weeks into each other. I know he sees something in you. He loves you." Namjoon was seated on the couch with Seokjin beside him and Jungkook in front of him.

"Hyung. Stop staring at me. I'm getting nervous. Talk to Jungkook." Namjoon sheepishly grinned and rubbed his hands together when he noticed his boyfriend staring at him.

All the other 3 have left earlier after the breakfast getting back their work. They decided to let Taekook resolve their issues together without interfering.

"Fine! You're like a little child sometimes. I wonder why am I even with you. Silly pants." Seokjin broke into a laugh admiring his boyfriend.

Jungkook who was seated across them also gave out a smile in adoration and respect towards his hyungs. He wish he and Taehyung can be this happy and crazy about each other again as well.

"Well Jungkook. As Joonie said. You're welcomed into the family for a very long time now. Taebear can be a little stubborn but he is very soft on the inside. He loves attention and he has a heart of gold." Seokjin explained.

"We know he can be very difficult but I promise, he is worth going after. He can be stupid but he never loves less. I see how he loves you. I can promise that." Namjoon held onto Seokjin while clarifying to Jungkook.

"Hyungs. I really appreciate your kind words. I am in love with Taehyung. I won't give up on him. But...but I think he did. He really didn't wanna see me anymore."

"Seriously? Last night was not enough to tell you how much he crave for you?" Seokjin raised his brow.

"Ah..that..uhm well..." Jungkook was embarrassed.

"Ah it's ok. No worries. We get it. Well just give him some time? I'm sure my stupid brother will come around."

"Correct. I've known Taebear for so long now. He will come around. But does your parents know about this and about Tae?" Seokjin asked not knowing if they knew.

Jungkook silently nodded confirming they know about Taehyung and their dating story.

"Well then hyungs. I think I better make a move. I need to head back and send off my parents tomorrow. I'll..I'll probably drop by some time soon. If you see Tae Hyung, ask him to return my calls. Thanks."

Jungkook politely excused himself and left back home. He was devastated on how things left hanging between him and Taehyung. He had so much fun with loving the older yesterday that he can't seem to let go the fact the older behaved so coldly with him.

"Does he still love me like I love him? Sigh...this is hard." Jungkook thought to himself and zoomed his bike back to Tulip Residence.
