Chapter 20- Come Back Home
"How long are you gonna be gone?" Jimin asked his roommate.
"At most, two days. I'll be back Sunday night" Taehyung said as he zipped up his small backpack. He was going to visit his mom for the weekend. It was Friday night, a week after the party. And he would be lying if he was still upset about the whole thing.
Jungkook suggested the idea, and turns out, he was coming with too. When Tae said something to his mom about coming home to visit, his mom immediately asked if Jungkook would like to visit too. After their little chat on the phone, she was eager to meet the boy interested in her son.
"It's gonna be lonely without you though" Jimin whined slightly.
"You can hang out with Yoongi most of the time. He told Jungkook he wasn't busy at all." Tae said with a small smile.
"I guess you're right." Jimin said with a chuckle.
"Of course I am Chim" Tae laughed slightly. He stood up and put his bag on his back and walked over to Jimin. "I'll see you Sunday Chiminie" he said and hugged Jimin.
"Have fun Tae" The pink haired boy said with a smile.
"I will. And I'll call you if you'd like" Tae said and let go from the hug.
"You don't have to. Just enjoy your time with your mom and Jungkook" Jimin said and smiled.
"Ok Jimin" he said with a smile. "But I should go now" Tae said and made his way towards the door.
"Bye Tae" Jimin said and waved.
"Bye Chim!" Tae said and waved back. He exited his dorm room and walked to Jungkook and Yoongi's dorm a couple rooms down. He knocked on the door softly and Jungkook opened the door.
"Ready to go Kooks?" Tae asked the younger.
"Yeah, I'm ready. Let me get my bag and we can get going" Jungkook said and turned around and went to his bed. He made sure he had everything, especially one of the hoodies Jungkook purchased Taehyung a small while ago. He had more things to give the elder, but he decided to hold off on it for a little while. He zipped up his bag and walked back over to Tae. "Let's get a move on Tae Tae" Jungkook said with a smile.
The two walked to the front of the building together. They made their way to Jungkook's motorcycle and slipped on their helmets after packing their bags into the side satchel.
Jungkook sat down first and Tae followed. The elder put his arms around Jungkook's torso and waited for him to start moving.
"Ready to go doll?" Jungkook asked.
"Yes" Tae said and tightened his grip on the younger as he started the motorcycle. Jungkook turned the engine on and gave it a small rev before pulling out of his parking space. He looked both ways before starting the drive to Tae's home.
...
"Tae, what flowers should I buy?" Jungkook asked the elder as he looked at the several bouquets of flowers in the store they stopped at.
"Why are you getting flowers?" Tae asked and looked at the younger. He readjusted the grocery basket he has in his hands.
"For you mom. First impressions are everything" Jungkook said with a chuckle.
"Aren't you cute" Tae said with a laugh. "She likes pink roses."
"Then that's what I will buy" Jungkook stated as he picked up the flowers. "Do you have everything you need?"the younger asked.
"Yup. At least I think I do" Tae said and looked around in the basket. It was filled with candy, mostly because he was planning on watching movies all night. "I have everything I want. Do you have everything?" Tae asked the younger.
"I have everything I need and more" Jungkook said with a cheeky smile.
"Oh shut up you nuthead, let's go" Tae said with a laugh. The two walked together to the register and purchased all of their items.
They made their way out of the store and to Jungkook's motorcycle. The younger put everything into the satchel, and made sure the flowers wouldn't get squished.
Just as Jungkook and Tae put on their helmets, a girls voice yelled through the air.
"Tae! Wait!" The females voice yelled. Taehyung turned to see where the voice was coming from.
"Lisa!" He squealed and ran towards the girl. They threw each other into a tight hug.
"Baby I missed you!" Lisa said happily.
"I missed you too!" Taehyung said and wiggled his body out of happiness.
"How's college?" Lisa said, still holding Tae in a huge hug.
"Ugh, amazing. But it would be more amazing with you and Jisoo there with me" Tae said with a giggle.
"You're so cute, you need to stop before I bust all the uwu's on you" Lisa said with a chuckle. "Oh Tae, hottie alert." She whispered and let go of Taehyung. Tae had not clue what she meant until the guy she was walking about came up behind him.
"Tae, you left me in the dust" Jungkook said with a laugh.
"I'm sorry Kooks" Tae gave an apologetic smile. "But this is Lisa. Lisa this is Jungkook" Tae said with a smile. "Kooks, I went to school with Lisa. She's another one of my friends."
"Nice to meet you, Lisa" Jungkook said and held out his hand for the female to shake. She nodded and shook Jungkook's hand firmly. "Let's just hope you don't turn out like another one of Tae's friends, cause if that's the case, we probably won't get along too well" Jungkook said with a chuckle.
"What? Tae, what happened?"Lisa asked frantically as Tae's expression fell. He went to talk but Jungkook stopped him with a whisper in his ear.
"It's ok, I'll tell her. I know you're not ready yet" Jungkook said softly. Tae just nodded and stayed quiet.
"I'm sure you know who Bogum is. Or at least I assume you do" Jungkook stated and Lisa nodded. "Turns out he was up to absolutely no good. I stepped in before he could truly do any damage to our little ball of fluff here" Jungkook said and put his arm around Tae's waist and pulled him close. Tae immediately reacted to the younger's touch, and all but melted into the side of Jungkook.
"Goddamn it" Lisa said. "I knew he was up to no good recently." She said and shook her head.
"It's fine. I don't really care anymore. I still have you, Lisa. And now I have Kookie" Tae said with a sweet, but sad smile.
"And Yoongi, Jimin, and Mina." Jungkook added and smiled at the elder.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you to go. It was nice meeting you Jungkook, please take care of my little baby Tae" she said and wiped a fake tear from her eye.
"He's in good hands Lisa." Jungkook said with a chuckle. Taehyung blushed slightly.
"Bye Lisa! Love you!" Tae said as the girl started walking away.
"Love you too sweet cheeks!" She yelled back with a laugh.
Tae just giggled and grabbed Jungkook's hand.
"Let's go now Bun" he said as he pulled the younger to the motorcycle. They made sure everything was contained and safely away before Jungkook took off. Luckily, the drive to Tae's house was fairly short from the store they stopped at.
10 minutes later, Jungkook parked on the side of the road in front of a medium size house. The baby blue paint and grey shutters gave it a very homey feel.
Jungkook helped Tae gather his things, along with his own. The two walked together to the front of the house, where a cute set of chairs were sitting on the front porch.
Tae knocked on the door a couple times before looking up at Jungkook with a smile.
"I'm sure she's gonna love you" Tae said with a giggle.
"I hope so doll" Jungkook chuckled.
Within seconds, the front door opened quickly, revealing Taehyung's mother.
"My baby! I've missed you" Said the woman and hugged her son.
"I missed you too mama" Tae said with a giggle. Mrs. Kim let go of her son and smiled fondly at Jungkook.
"And I'm guessing you're Jungkook" she said eyeing him up with a small smile.
"Yes, I'm Jungkook. It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Kim" He said and bowed. He held out the flowers he had purchased for her. "I got you some flowers, just as a little gift" he said with a chuckle.
"Oh dear, you're so sweet." She said and took the flowers from Jungkook's hand. "Tae, you've got a keeper right here" she said and nudged her sons arm.
"U-um can we come in?" Tae said with rosy cheeks. He completely ignored his mother's comment.
The three of them all walked into the house together. Jungkook followed behind Taehyung closely, as if he were a lost puppy.
"Mrs. Kim, I absolutely love your home" Jungkook commented while looking at all of the decorations and pictures on the walls.
"Thank you Jungkook." Mrs. Kim said with a smile. Tae's mom walked to the kitchen and found a vase to put the flowers in.
"Mama, I'm gonna take Jungkook up to my room quick." Tae said and walked over to the staircase, leading up to the second level of their home.
"I'll call you two down when lunch is ready" His mother yelled slightly.
"Thanks mama!" Tae said happily and lead Jungkook upstairs to his room.
"Your mom is so nice" Jungkook said with a smile as he followed Tae around.
"She's the best" Tae said with a giggle. He stopped at a door and opened it slowly. He took a deep breathe as he walked into his room. He never realized how much he'd miss his room. All of his favorite things were still in their places. He placed his bag down on one of the white chairs, and Jungkook followed. Tae immediately went over to the string lights hanging from his walls, that had pictures clipped to them. He just stood there, looking at them. Almost all of the pictures had Bogum in them. The more he looked at them, the more his heart started ripping in half.
Jungkook was looking around Tae's room when he noticed how the elder was staring at pictures on his walls. The younger made his way to the other male and put his arms around his waist, back hugging him. He rested his chin on the elders shoulder, and Tae leaned back onto the taller boy.
"How ya feeling, doll?" Jungkook asked.
"I'm having mixed emotions" Tae admitted and wrapped his arms around Jungkook's.
"Why's that?" The younger asked.
"Well, I'm happy I'm home to visit my mom. But there's just so many memories here... with him. It just really hurts, Jungkook. My heart hurts." Tae said, trying not to cry.
"I know baby, I know. But I'll be here now. We can make new memories and take new pictures." Jungkook said with a smile. "I may not be able to erase him, but I'll make you forget him."
A tear rolled down Taehyung's cheek. He was greatful for Jungkook.
"Thanks Kookie" He said with a small smile. He leaned his head on the younger's and took a deep breathe. Throughout the whole week, Jungkook has been making sure he was ok. He was extremely upset out everything, and wouldn't leave his room unless he needed to go to class. Jungkook would bring Tae food, and make sure he was eating properly. He tucked him into bed every night.
"So, whatcha wanna do TaeTae? Let's get your mind off of him" Jungkook said softly and swayed his body back and forth, moving Tae's along with his.
"I dunno Kook" Tae said and shrugged slightly.
"Well, why don't we start with a cleanse" Jungkook suggested.
"Of what?"
"Of anything that reminds you of Bogum" Jungkook stated. "Unless you want to keep everything. I'm not forcing you to do anything, doll. As long as you want to, then I'll help" Jungkook said sweetly and pecked Tae's cheek.
"No... I think it's a good idea. I don't wanna look at his stupid face anymore" Taehyung said with hurt in his voice.
"Then let's start with the pictures. Then we can move on to anything else you want" The younger stated and let go of Tae. The elder nodded and started unclipping each picture that had just him and Bogum. He held a small pile in his hand until he was completely finished.
"That's all of them" Tae said and sat the stack on his desk with a thud.
"Is there anything else, tiger?" The younger asked.
"Actually, there is" Tae said angrily. He went over to his closet and started ripping clothing from the hangers and throwing them into a pile. He was throwing sweaters and hoodies on the pile, along with several shirts. The last thing he grabbed was a shoebox. It was filled with notes from Bogum. The male would write Tae small, but cute and funny notes almost every single day in high school. Taehyung slammed the box down on the desk and sighed loudly.
Jungkook was sitting on Tae's soft bed, watching Tae lose his shit. He wanted the elder to yell, throw things, cry, anything. Jungkook wanted Taehyung to let go of all the emotions he had bottled up. He wanted him to release the pent up rage he had stored for the past week.
Jungkook watched as the elder grabbed a pair of scissors and sat on the floor. He grabbed articles of clothing and started cutting them angrily. He was snipping away quickly, chopping each piece into small helpless bits.
Taehyung was shaking in anger and sadness. He couldn't believe the betrayal. He trusted and loved Bogum with his whole heart. They had been through everything together. Bogum was always there to listen to him, to comfort him when he was sad, and to cheer him up. He didn't understand how Bogum could just change like that.
Tears and chocked sobs were coming from Taehyung. His vision was becoming blurry from his teary eyes. Short and choppy breathes escaped his mouth.
"I hate him so much" he said as he cut another shirt. "He should go to Hell." Chop. "I'm gonna show him" chop "I don't need his stupid ass" he said with a tear down his cheek.
Jungkook on the other hand, was in pain seeing Taehyung like this. The way he was crying, and hearbroken, made Jungkook hurt.
"Ok Tae, maybe you should stop before you hurt yourself" Jungkook suggested and stood up. Taehyung stopped cutting the clothing and dropped the scissors from his hands. He looked up at Jungkook, who was now standing beside him.
"I-I'm sorry" Tae sighed. "I got a little out of hand" he said softly and stood up.
"No need to apologize. You needed to release your anger, hun" Jungkook said and hugged Taehyung. Tae leaned into the touch and hugged Jungkook back. "Now, you should lay down and rest for a bit." He said and picked Tae up. Jungkook laid the elder on his bed.
"What are you gonna do?" Tae asked as Jungkook covered him with the blankets.
"I'm gonna clean up your little rage mess, and then I'll come and lay down with you, ok?" Jungkook said softly as he watched the elder snuggle into his bed.
"Ok Kookie" Tae said with a soft yawn. He closed his eyes and let out a soft breathe.
Jungkook smiled at the elder fondly as he watched him close his eyes. When Tae looked like he was half asleep, he left Tae's room and made his way down the staircase. Jungkook turned the corner and entered the kitchen.
Mrs. Kim looked up from what she was doing and saw Jungkook sit down at the island of the kitchen.
"Jungkook, what brings you here?" She said and turned to the male. "Where's Tae?"
"I hope he's asleep" Jungkook said with a sigh.
"Why's that?" The woman asked with a slightly concerned voice.
"Let's just say that he had a little moment when he walked into his room and saw everything with Bogum" Jungkook said.
"Oh no, what did he do?" Tae's mom asked.
"He took all the pictures down of them. Then he cut up a bunch of clothing with scissors. I had him lay down for a little. I told him I'd clean the clothing and then go up and lay with him" Jungkook explained.
"I'd really like to have a talk with Bogum. Show him what he gets for hurting my son" Mrs. Kim said angrily and started cleaning some dishes in the sink.
"I'll help you rip him a new one Mrs. Kim" Jungkook said with a chuckle.
"I'm not too opposed of the idea, Jungkook. I'm starting to like you even more" Tae's mom said with a chuckle.
"Did Tae tell you anything about what happened?" Jungkook asked.
"No, I only know what you told me. I was hoping he would tell me while he was visiting." The woman stated.
"I think it would be better if it were just the two of you talking. I don't wanna intrude on anything personal. I don't know everything about Tae, so I really don't think I should find things out about him through this." Jungkook said with a small sigh. "I'll offer to go out for something if you need it, then the two of you could talk" Jungkook suggested.
"I'm sure when you take a shower tonight or tomorrow, I can talk to him then"Tae's mother stated. "But I appreciate the offer, Jungkook" she said with a smile.
"Of course Mrs. Kim. I just wanna make sure Tae is alright" Jungkook stated.
"I'm sure you do Jungkook. And I'm sure my little Tae Bear really appreciates it." She said with a smile.
"Well, I guess I should go back up to Tae" Jungkook said and stood up from his seat.
"Is there anything I can put the... remains of clothing in?" Jungkook said with a chuckle.
"The room next to Tae's is the bathroom. Under the sink, there should be a box of garbage bags you can use" she stated.
"Ok, thank you Mrs. Kim!" Jungkook said with a smile.
Jungkook made his way up to the bathroom and grabbed a small trash bag to clean the clothing pieces of clothing. He walked to Tae's room and opened the door quietly.
Taehyung was fast asleep, only small snores escaping his mouth. Jungkook kneeled down on the floor and started picking up the clothing piece by piece. He wondered why Tae cut the clothing up how he did. Was it presents from Bogum? Or did Bogum let Tae have them?
Jungkook pushed the thoughts out of his head and finished cleaning. He tied up the bag when he was done and placed it beside the door of Tae's room. He then picked up the scissors and put them back on Tae's desk.
He was about to go lay with Taehyung, but the shoebox caught his eye. He knew he shouldn't open it, but he had to. He wanted to know what was in the box.
Jungkook opened the box, to find lots of little folded papers. He picked one up and opened it up.
'I'm gonna need to start wearing sunglasses when I'm with you, because you're the light of my life
-Bogummie'
Jungkook rolled his eyes and picked up another one.
'Looking cute today, Tae! I just wanna squish your cheeks and kiss them all day
-Bogummie'
Jungkook let out a sound I disgust and folded the two papers back up. He knew that if he kept reading them, he was going to throw up, and or throw something. He closed the box and stood up. He walked over to Tae's bed and sat down next to the sleeping boy.
"Baby Doll~" Jungkook whispered. Taehyung stirred slightly and opened his eyes.
"Kookie" Taehyung whispered.
"I'm gonna lay with you now. Can I get under the blankets?" Jungkook asked with a smile. Tae just nodded and let go of the fists full of blankets he had in his hands. Jungkook lifted the blanket and got into the bed.
Tae snuggled into Jungkook as soon as he was laying down completely. He cuddled into the younger, taking in the warmth.
"You're so cute" Jungkook whispered softly.
"You're cute too Kookie" Tae said with a giggle. He wrapped his legs around Jungkook's and put his hand in the younger's hair.
"But you're the cutest" Jungkook chuckled. The younger kissed Tae's head and smiled. He rested his forehead on Tae's. The elder just giggled at the gesture.
Taehyung yawned softly and looked at Jungkook in the eyes.
"How are you tired? It's only noon" Jungkook chuckled softly.
"I like naps, ok?" Tae said with a smile.
"I completely understand. I like naps too" Jungkook said and smiled at the elder.
"Then let's be napping buddies" Tae said and closed his eyes.
"I like that idea" Jungkook said and closed his eyes too. He pulled Taehyung close to him and snuggled into the elders petit body.
"Sleep well Kooks" Tae said and kissed the younger's head.
"I definitely will, Tae" Jungkook whispered. The two laid there together and fell asleep in each other's arms.
...
"Boys, lunch is ready!" Mrs. Kim yelled. There was no answer. "Tae?" She yelled again. She raised her eyebrow and made her way upstairs. She opened Tae's door quietly and peeled her head in.
Her heart absolutely melted at the sight of the tow boys sleeping. They looked so comfortable, she couldn't bring herself to wake them up. She just chuckled quietly and closed the door of her sons room.
"I'm glad he's making you happy, TaeTae" Mrs. Kim said to herself and smiled as she walked back down to the kitchen to put the boy's lunches away.
...
