Chapter 4

Jungkook opened the door of his house, he tried his best to not make any noise.

The light got turned on, He saw his father, he crossed his arms, "Jungkook, I told you to come home early!"

"Sorry dad, I was at a party with my friends." He lied, he doesn't have friends and he was at work.

His father smiled, "I am happy you are enjoying and living your life."

His father works really hard to earn money, he wants Jungkook to enjoy his life and complete his studies. Jungkook knows his father doesn't want him to work right now, so he hides that he is working part time from him.

"But next time, come home early." He patted his back.

"You should have slept, why did you wait for me?" Jungkook exclaimed.

"It's been a while since we had drinks together, how about we do it now and have a talk?" He said.

"Yes, sure." They don't get time to talk everyday, It's nothing new, that when they talk they talk til sunrise.

He has a really good relationship with his father, he loves and cares about him and he is glad to have his father always by his side.

He saw him go through a lot, but still he is trying to give Jungkook a better life.

"Yeah, come on. Tell me about your love life. I can see it on your face that you are in love with someone." He exclaimed.

Jungkook chuckled, "Is it that obvious?"

"Yeah, it is really obvious. I can see it all over your face from the last few days."

Jungkook was laughing.

"But I am scared, dad." Jungkook got serious.

"Why?"

"What if she left me like mom for someone rich?" He doesn't bring this topic usually, but today he did.

His father sighed. "Jungkook, forget the past, we are happy with our life right? And everyone is not same."

"Girls don't see love anymore. All they see is Money, they don't even care about their own children when it comes to money."

"Jungkook, it's not like that. All girls are not the same. Don't compare yourself with me." His father patted his back, "Don't worry much, I know you will find your true love, who will never leave you for anything or anyone."

Y/n was lost in her thoughts while looking at the ring in her ringfinger.

“Yah! Are you even watching the movie?” Taehyung asked her, he noticed how she is lost in her thoughts.

“Taehyung,” She looked at him with a smile. He swears he dies everytime she looks at him with a smile like that. “Have you ever been in love?”

Taehyung choked in air, he was not expecting her to talk about this topic. She always avoided talking about love. “Love?’’

“Yes, so have you ever been in love?’’

“Like, I do love you.’’

She hit his head. ‘’No stupid not like, what i meant by love is, the actual love when your heart start beating like crazy with the person touch you.’’

Taehyung holds her waist,pulling her closer. ‘’You felt anything?’’

She removed his hands, and laughed.’’You know this taehyung, I feel nothing by your touch. What I am talking about is the type of love when you feel peace with the person. The love when you want to spend your whole life with that person.’’

Taehyung finally spoke,‘’The love when you can do anything for the person’s happiness. Even when you get hurt, you never want to leave their side. “

‘’Yes, exactly.’’

‘’Perhaps, are you in love with someone? ‘’ He asked.

She sighs loudly, "I don’t know. I never liked the idea of love. But now I think I want it, I want to experience love. Oh and I would love to have a loving family in future."

"You can have a loving family with me too. I can give you more love than any other guy. "

"Taehyung, I am serious and you are bringing yourself."

He laughed to make it look like he is not serious. When he was serious and sincere about his feelings about her.

"All this love talk has spun my head. Love is so confusing." She lay on the bed, "I am tired. So I am sleeping."

He laid beside her, he stared at her face.
'Indeed it is confusing and painful. But please be in love with me.'

Taehyung was having dinner with his family, he was worried about Y/n. He can feel that she was talking about someone, she might be in love with someone who is not him.

He looked up when he heard the glass shattered sound, "STOP ANNOYING ME WITH YOUR STUPID ACTS!" His father yelled at his mother.

She covered her ear, while repeating his sentence. "Stop annoying me with your stupid acts."

Taehyung helped her cover her ears, she stepped on a glass but continued to move away.

"This is ridiculous, I can't even have dinner with my kids because of this woman." He exclaimed and left.

His mother was still covering her ear, she has autism. Taehyung tried to calm her down, she was scratching the back of her hand.

After he was about to calm her down, he sat her on a chair, he looked at her feet which were bleeding badly.

"Hyori, bring me the first aid kit." He said he looked at Hyori who looked scared too.

He held her hand, and then hugged her.  "Don't be scared, okay? I am here."

Hyori nodded her head, and the maid brought him first aid. He took out the glass from his mother's feet and cleaned the wound then treated it.

Taehyung's father is abusive towards his mother, no one knows that, he has never mentioned it to Y/n. She thinks Taehyung's life is perfect because he is really rich, he must be happy and satisfied.

His father is nice to him and Hyori. Taehyung wonders why he can't be like that with his mother too? She has autism, so she needs more care. While she yells, screams and gets  thrown things at.

Person's upbringing and childhood experiences plays an important role in their personality.

Like Jungkook's mother, leaving his father affected him greatly, now he questions the loyalty of every woman and believes that money is everything.

While for Taehyung, his abusive father taught him what he must never be. He promised that he would never even raise his voice on his wife or be rude to her.
_

Taehyung was thinking about what happened last night. He wonders how can love disappear like that and turn into abuse?

Will his love disappear too?

"Tae!" Y/n hugged him. He felt immediate relief, he knew his love for Y/n would never disappear.

She pulled away. He doesn't even remember when he developed this intense attraction for her.

He can't help but admire her eyes light up when she talks about something she is passionate about or when she plays with a piece of her hair when she is nervous.

"Is it just me or you are looking extra pretty good?" He said. She smiled.

"Really? I look pretty?"

"Yes you do-"

"Jungkook!" She exclaimed excitedly when she saw him. "I will see you later."

She runs to Jungkook and holds his arm while talking to him.

Taehyung felt a sharp pang in the pit of his stomach when he saw her with Jungkook. He can already guess that she is in love with Jungkook.

Taehyung wanted a romantic relationship but eventually, he slowly began to realize that he could never be someone who she loved.
_

Y/n used to spend her whole time at school with Taehyung, and now she was not leaving Jungkook's side and she was talking with him non stop.

"Can I sit here?" Taehyung asked.

"Of course Tae, you can. Why are you asking?" Y/n said. "This is Jungkook and Jungkook you already know, Taehyung."

They glared at each other. Then faked smiles and handshakes.

"Y/n, Mrs.Wang was looking for you." Her classmate told her.

"Me? Okay I am coming. Taehyung and Jungkook, you both can talk to each other. I will be back." She stood up and left.

They were just staring at each other, Taehyung was judging him from head to toe. What does he have that Y/n is falling for him?

"What's your father's job?" Taehyung asked.

"Why are you asking? Mind your own business."

He chuckled, "I see you are ashamed."

"I am not ashamed, he works really hard to earn on his own. He is a factory worker."

"So that means you are really cheap." Taehyung mumbled but loud enough for Jungkook to hear.

"What you just said?"

"Cheap, that word suits you. No matter how hard you try, you can never be on the same level as me. So stay away from Y/n."

"Why are you scared of me if I can never reach your level?"

"Don't try to be smart, I bet you don't even have money to buy this shoe that I am wearing."

Taehyung's expression changed quickly when he saw Y/n. "I am back. What are you guys talking about?"

Jungkook stood up, he picked up the banana milk that he was drinking and spilled it over Taehyung's shoe.

"What the fck-"

"I bet you have enough money to buy another pair." Jungkook said and left.

"What happened?" Y/n asked.

"He asked me if he could borrow these. I refuse and he ruins them." Taehyung lied.

"What? That was so rude. I can't believe Jungkook just did that."

"He gives me bad vibes. Be careful of him." Taehyung said.
