Third person's pov

In the following weeks, despite the passage of time, Taehyung's behavior towards Jungkook remained unchanged. He would occasionally taunt him and make him feel like he is not normal.

Jungkook was really hurt by Taehyung's words but it's not the first time he is being taunted or mocked by someone for his autism,

He found solace in Mrs Kim's comforting presence and would often sleep in her room.

One evening, when Mrs Kim was away for a nightover at her friend's home, the atmosphere in the house became even more palpably strained.

Taehyung, lying on the bed with his phone, showed his irritation when Jungkook returned from the bathroom, settling onto the bed with his cherished bear.

The repetitive movements of Jungkook, unintentionally causing the bear's fur to touch Taehyung, triggered an outburst.

Without warning, Taehyung flung the bear onto the floor, expressing disdain. "I don't need that fucking bear on my bed," he declared. Jungkook, eyes welling with tears, rushed to retrieve his beloved companion.

"D-don't th-hrow my b-bear l-like t-this," he shouted, his voice shaking with emotion.

Taehyung, frustrated stood up and went towards jungkook, then he grabbed Jungkook's shoulders, questioning him.

"What's your problem? It's just a bear, a normal plush bear," he asserted, struggling to comprehend the deep connection Jungkook felt.

Amidst tears and hiccups, Jungkook managed to convey, "It's m-my fr-rien-nd." Taehyung, dismissing the sentiment, said with a loud voice,

"Then why don't you sleep with your friend instead of your husband? If you think your bear is more important than your husband so get out of my room this instance."

Jungkook simply replied, "F-fine," as he tearfully left the room. Taehyung, feeling a fleeting sense of accomplishment, remarked, "Finally, a moment of peace."

In the solitude of the living room, Jungkook, still sobbing, curled up on the sofa. The month's passing had done little to mend the growing chasm between Taehyung and Jungkook, leaving their fragile relationship hanging in the balance.

The next morning.........

The next morning, as Mrs Kim returned home, she discovered Jungkook sleeping on the sofa.

Concern etched across her face, she gently woke him up, asking why he was sleeping there.

" Jungkookie..... Bub wake up. "

" Why are you sleeping here ?"

Upon seeing Mrs Kim, Jungkook clung to her tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Mrs Kim, comforting him, inquired, "Did Taehyung told you to sleep outside?" Jungkook remained silent, a clear indication of the unwarranted mistreatment he had endured.

Mrs Kim, understanding the situation, took Jungkook's hands and approached Taehyung's room.

Waking Taehyung, she confronted him about his behavior. "What is this, Taehyung? Why did you kick Jungkook out of the room?"

Taehyung, unmoved, asserted, "I didn't kick anyone out. He went out on his own will."

Frustrated by Taehyung's callousness, Mrs Kim retorted, "Why would he do that?" Taehyung's response cut deep, revealing his prejudiced perspective. "Obviously because he is not normal."

With that, Taehyung walked out, slamming the door behind him. Jungkook, visibly shaken, clung to Mrs Kim, seeking solace.

Mrs Kim, gently patting his back, assured him, "Shhh......You are absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with you. Taehyung is the abnormal one."

After a few minutes, to create a semblance of normalcy, Mrs Kim suggested, "Now let's go and cook breakfast." Jungkook, hesitant, mentioned that he hadn't brushed his teeth yet.

" U-Um I h-hav-vent bru-ushed my t-teeth yet."

Mrs Kim, replied with a soft smile,
" Take your time, I will start cooking then."

As Mrs Kim busied herself in the kitchen, Jungkook, left alone with his thoughts, went to the bathroom. Sliding down to the floor, he couldn't contain his tears. In the midst of his emotional turmoil, he questioned himself, repeatedly asking,

"Is Koo not normal? "

"Why is Koo not like everyone else? "

"Koo doesn't like being like this."

The weight of societal expectations and Taehyung's insensitive remarks had taken a toll on Jungkook's self-esteem. As the tears continued to fall, Jungkook kept trying to wipe them constantly.

After 10 minutes.........

Jungkook, after composing himself, joined Mrs. Kim in the kitchen. The aroma of breakfast filled the air, providing a comforting backdrop to their conversation.

Mrs. Kim smiled warmly at Jungkook and asked, "Is there something you enjoy drawing, Kook?"

Jungkook nodded shyly, "Y-yes, um... bea-ars a-and f-flowers mo-ostly."

"Bears? How adorable! Do you have any sketches you'd like to show me?" Mrs. Kim's eyes twinkled with genuine curiosity.

Jungkook hesitated for a moment but then shyly nodded, he went to the room and came back with a sketchbook in his hands, As he flipped through the pages, Mrs. Kim's excitement grew.

( Jungkook draws these type of sketches. )

"Wow, Kook, these are amazing! You have such a talent," she praised, genuinely impressed by the intricate details of Jungkook's bear sketches.

Jungkook blushed, appreciating the positive acknowledgment. Mrs. Kim continued, "Since when have you been drawing, dear?"

"E-Ever si-ince I was l-ittle, sket-tching hel-lps me c-calm down," Jungkook explained, his words carrying a certain earnestness.

Mrs. Kim nodded with a smile, " It's just so beautiful, seriously you are an artist. "

Encouraged by Mrs. Kim's genuine interest, Jungkook opened up a bit more. "Th-thank y-you. It's li-ike... m-my way o-of talkin-ng wit-thout sp-peak-king."

Mrs. Kim gently placed a hand on his shoulder, "Art has a beautiful way of doing that. I'd love to see more of your creations, bun."

As they continued preparing breakfast, the conversation drifted towards their favorite art supplies, preferred colors, and the joy of creating. Mrs. Kim's efforts to engage Jungkook in a light-hearted discussion about his passion succeeded in lifting his spirits.

In this shared moment, the bond between Mrs. Kim and Jungkook grew stronger, proving that sometimes, the most beautiful conversations happen over the simple act of making breakfast and sharing a common love for art.

After sometime the breakfast was ready.....

As the morning unfolded, Mrs. Kim, called Taehyung to join them for breakfast. Taehyung, somewhat reluctantly, sat at the table, and the trio began their meal.

"Jungkook, I have a business party tonight. You're coming with me. Get ready by 7." Taehyung said, taking a bite of his breakfast.

Jungkook, still feeling the chill in Taehyung's tone, simply nodded in acknowledgment. After breakfast, Taehyung left for work, leaving Mrs. Kim and Jungkook to spend the day together.

Mrs. Kim, took Jungkook to their room, exclaiming, "Let's see what my Kook will wear tonight."

The room became a fashion runway as Mrs. Kim indulged in the joy of styling Jungkook. She presented him with various combinations and outfits, exploring different looks for the evening.

After a considerable amount of time, Mrs. Kim's efforts paid off. Jungkook emerged from the bathroom in a striking ensemble – black pants paired with a stunning white top. The intricacies of the outfit accentuated Jungkook's features, leaving Mrs. Kim momentarily in awe.

Mrs. Kim, with a wide grin, exclaimed, "Oh, my Kook! You look absolutely beautiful! That outfit suits you perfectly."

" Woah, it's really hard to believe that you are not an angel. "

Jungkook, though still reserved, couldn't help but appreciate Mrs. Kim's genuine love. He blushed,
" Th-ha-ank yo-ou."

As they continued to prepare for the evening, Mrs. Kim offered words of encouragement, "You're going to shine tonight, Jungkook. Remember, you're as special as anyone else there hmm,
Infact my little bunny is even more special. "

Jungkook gigged a little and hugged Mrs kim who caressed his back.
