Chapter 32

Third person's pov

It was 11 o'clock at night, and Mr. Jeon was growing increasingly worried. Yoongi and Taehyung still hadn't returned home, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Just as he was about to call them, his phone rang, and he saw it was from Yoongi's number, he immediately answered it,

"Hello?" Mr. Jeon said.

" Hello, this is the manager from the restaurant," came the voice on the other end. "I'm sorry to inform you, but we have two drunk men causing a ruckus here. This phone belongs to one of them."

Mr. Jeon's eye's widened and he repiled. "I'll be there right away,"

Grabbing his car keys, Mr. Jeon quickly roused Taemin from his sleep. "We need to go to the restaurant," he said urgently.

Taemin rubbed his eyes groggily. "What's going on, halaboji?"

"I will explain in the way," Mr. Jeon said as they hurried out the door.

As they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Yoongi and Taehyung slumped in chairs outside, completely passed out. The manager stood nearby, looking exasperated.

Mr. Jeon approached the manager with a deep bow. "I apologize for the inconvenience they've caused," he said. "We'll take care of them."

The manager shook his head. "You have no idea how much trouble they've caused," he muttered, clearly frustrated. "We've had to deal with so many complaints."

Mr. Jeon bowed again, feeling hella embarrassed. "I'm truly sorry," he repeated.

Then Turning to the sleeping duo, Mr. Jeon sighed. "Taemin, wake them up," he said.

Taemin knelt down beside Taehyung, gently shaking him awake. "Appa, wake up," he said, hoping to wake Taehyung up.

Taehyung mumbled incoherently, swatting at Taemin's hand. "Let me sleep," he slurred,

Mr. Jeon shook his head in disbelief. "Carry them to the car," he said to Taemin. "I'll start it."

Taemin's eyes widened in horror as he assessed the size of the two men before him. "But, they're three times heavier than me!" he muttered under his breath,

Then taking a deep breath, Taemin hoisted Taehyung onto his back, struggling under his weight. "Halaboji... help," he gasped, his face turning red.

Mr. Jeon immediately rushed to Taemin's side, lending his support as they carried Taehyung towards the car. With great effort, they managed to load Taehyung into the backseat.

Then Taemin turned to help with Yoongi, he felt his muscles ache and his breath come in gasps. Yoongi was just as heavy as Taehyung, and the task of carrying him to the car felt like an impossible feat.

Finally, with a great deal of effort, they managed to get Yoongi settled in the car next to Taehyung. Taemin collapsed into the driver's seat, panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.

Mr. Jeon looked at Yoongi and Taehyung from the review mirror and shook his head in disappointment.

After a few minutes.....

Upon reaching home, Mr. Jeon hurriedly rang the doorbell, and Jimin quickly opened the door. He gasped in surprise when he saw Taemin carrying Yoongi on his back.

"What happened to him?" Jimin said, he was clearly worried about his husband.

"Sofa..." Taemin replied breathlessly, looking like he was on the verge of collapse.

Jimin immediately moved aside, giving Taemin space to lay Yoongi down on the sofa. Then Taemin rushed to get Taehyung,

Jimin stepped closer to Yoongi and immediately wrinkled his nose. "Ah, he reeks of alcohol," he said.

Mr. Jeon nodded. "He and Taehyung drank and slept at a nearby restaurant," he explained.

Just then, a loud thud echoed from outside, causing them to jump. They rushed to the door and saw Taemin sprawled on the floor with Taehyung on his back.

Wide-eyed, Jimin and Mr. Jeon hurried to help Taemin and carried Taehyung to the sofa, laying him down beside Yoongi.

"Ah, my back," Taemin groaned, feeling the strain from carrying the heavy load.

Because of the commotion, Mrs. Jeon, Hye-joon, Minyoung, Sunho, came downstairs to see what was happening.

With both Yoongi and Taehyung now safely on the sofa, the family gathered around,

" Honey, what happened to them," Mrs. Jeon said looking at the sleeping idiots.

Mr. Jeon explained the situation to all of them.

Meanwhile Taemin noticed that both Taehyung and Yoongi still had their shoes on. With a sigh, he bent down and carefully removed their shoes, setting them aside neatly.

Mrs. Jeon shook her head with a heavy sigh, "Sunho-ah, get two blankets," she said, gesturing towards the hallway closet.

Sunho nodded and quickly fetched two blankets, handing them to Mrs. Jeon. She draped one over Yoongi and the other over Taehyung, tucking them in.

Jungkook was looking at them from behind, after everything was calm, he decided to approach Yoongi.

Suddenly Taehyung stirred from his slumber, his eyes fluttering open. Spotting Jungkook nearby, Taehyung sat up abruptly,

"Jungkook-ah, don't be so rude with me," Taehyung chided, his words barely understandable.

With wobbly legs, Taehyung attempted to rise from the sofa, nearly toppling over Taemin in the process. Taemin quickly reached out to steady him, but Taehyung brushed him off.

"Just a second," Taehyung insisted, as he made his way toward Jungkook.

Seeing Taehyung approaching, Jungkook took a step back, ready to go to his room. But suddenly Taehyung reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer.

With a suddenness that caught Jungkook off guard, Taehyung pressed his lips against Jungkook's, getting a gasp of surprise from both Jungkook and the rest of the family.

"Yah!" Mr. Jeon said in a loud voice.

Breaking the kiss, Taehyung turned to Jungkook with a drunk smile, "You said I don't love you, but tell me..... why do I want to kiss you?" he said, leaning in for another kiss.

However, Jungkook pushed Taehyung away, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Bastard," He mumbled and ran to his room.

Taehyung tried to follow him but Taemin caught him tightly and led him back to the sofa and urged him to lie down once more.

Soon Taehyung slept again.

The next day.........

Taehyung stirred from his sleep, only to find Yoongi's arms wrapped around him in a tight embrace. Startled, Taehyung let out a loud scream and pushed Yoongi away, causing him to tumble off the bed and onto the floor with a thud.

"Ow, what's wrong?" Yoongi groaned, rubbing his head and grimacing from the pain.

The sudden scream brought Mrs. Jeon and Jimin out of the kitchen. Jimin wasted no time in delivering a hard smack to Yoongi's back.

" What was the need of drinking so much?" Jimin said and smacked him again. Yoongi rubbed his eyes and winced at the sudden hits.

"Go and freshen up, always giving me more stress, trust me half of my hair are going to be white soon because og your actions," Jimin said more like scolded Yoongi as he should have.

Yoongi glanced around the room, his memory foggy from the events of the previous night. "How did we get here? Weren't we at the restaurant?" he asked in confusion.

"So, you don't remember anything," Mrs. Jeon asked.

Taehyung and Yoongi exchanged glances, their faces turning crimson with embarrassment as Mrs. Jeon told them the events of the previous night.

Yoongi quickly turned to Jimin with a urgency. "Press my clothes, I'm going for a shower," he said as he rushed towards his bedrooml

Meanwhile, Taehyung kept his head low and groaned.

Just then, Taemin piped up from the corner of the room. "Do you remember what else happened last night?" he asked.

"What?"

"You kissed eomma," Taemin whispered in Taehyung's ear.

Taehyung's face turned as red as a tomato, mortified beyond belief. "On the lips?" he asked, his voice so low that it couldn't be even considered a whisper.

Taemin nodded immediately.

Feeling utterly embarrassed, Taehyung buried his face in his hands, wishing he could disappear into thin air.

After sometime, he eventually got up and went to the bathroom.

After getting dressed and freshening up, Yoongi and Taehyung joined the rest of the family in the dining room, where breakfast was already laid out. Mrs. Jeon had taken her usual spot at the head of the table,

As they settled into their seats, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and soon Jungkook entered the room. Mrs. Jeon gestured for him to sit beside her.

"Come, sit beside me, Jungkook-ah," she said softly, patting the seat next to her.

Jungkook obediently took his seat, allowing Mrs. Jeon to served him the breakfast and then began to feed him.

While Taehyung couldn't even look at his brekfast, his stomach churned uncomfortably, and he discreetly rubbed his temples in an attempt to alleviate his headache.

It was probably because of last night.

Noticing Taehyung's pale face, Jimin leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Taehyung forced a smile and nodded. "I'm fine," he replied, his voice slightly strained.

Jimin nodded and started to eat his breakfast again.

After breakfast, Taehyung mustered up the courage to approach Jungkook's room. He knocked softly, waiting for Jungkook's response. When he heard a faint "come in," Taehyung entered nervously.

Inside, he found Jungkook taking his medication, a calm expression on his face. Taehyung hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Iamsosorryforlastnight," Taehyung said in one go,

Jungkook looked up, " What?" He asked.

Taking a deep breath, Taehyung continued, "Firstly, I'm sorry for last night. And secondly, Jungkook... let's talk. A real conversation."

"I don't want to," Jungkook replied curtly.

Closing his eyes briefly, Taehyung pleaded, "Jungkook, I know I've hurt you deeply, but please. Let's have a talk. Let's hear each other out."

After a moment of silence, Jungkook relented with a resigned sigh. "Fine," he agreed, motioning for Taehyung to take a seat.

As they both settled down, Taehyung spoke again, his voice gentle. "You can speak first. Take all your anger out.....I know I deserve it."

As Jungkook was about to speak, Taehyung immediately got up from the bed with a hand on his mouth and ran to the bathroom,

It was nothing new for him or Jungkook, he would always be sick for atleast 1 whole day after drinking.

Jungkook waited patiently for Taehyung to return and after sometime Taehyung emerged, looking pale and weak.

Jungkook handled Taehyung a glass of water, " Here drink it," His voice was cold.

Taehyung accepted the water, taking slow sips to soothe his raw throat. Once he had composed himself, he nodded at Jungkook, indicating that he was ready to listen.

With a heavy sigh, Jungkook began, "What was my mistake that you treated me like that? I've always taken care of you and the kids, sacrificing so much for our family....... But it feels like you never compromise for me."

Taehyung's brows furrowed as he listened, his own emotions bubbling up. "Are you forgetting that I left my parents to marry you? In the beginning, when my salary wasn't enough, I worked two extra jobs just to fulfill your demands, just so that you don't feel low infront of your friends, " he said with pure frustration.

Jungkook shook his head, "I'm talking about feelings, Taehyung. I've always tried to mend our relationship, but it feels like I'm the only one making an effort," he confessed,

"Do you know how hurt I felt when you and the kids ignored me? All day, I was alone, and when you came back, all I wanted was to share a meal together. But you never made time for me," Jungkook lamented, his eyes brimming with tears. "Every time you taunted me for small things, it felt like a stab to my heart. D-Do you e-even realize how terrible I felt?"

Taehyung sighed heavily, his gaze dropping to the floor, "I admit that I was wrong," he began, "but do you really think I did nothing? Can you imagine living without all your luxury items?"

"Let's not change the subject," Jungkook said in a bitter tone. "Tell me what you did."

"I tri-ied to mend our relationship countless times," Taehyung said. "B-But it always felt like you cho-ose Eunwoo over me."

Jungkook's eyebrows shot up in confusion. "Excuse me? What are you even talking about?"

"Remember our 17th anniversary?" Taehyung pressed on, "You stood in front of everyone and said Eunwoo was better than me. How d-do you think that made m-me feel? And it wasn't just that one time, you've done it repeatedly."

Jungkook shook his head in disbelief. "For goodness' sake, he's my best friend! It was just a joke," he said, his tone exasperated. "You're so insecure and over-possessive...... I thought you already knew that it was supposed to be a freaking joke to see your reaction!"

Taehyung's eyes narrowed, "Is it fun for you to watch me suff-fer?" he said, his voice cracking,"You and the kids are everything to me. Can't I be possessive over my only relationships?"

"You should have just laughed it off," Jungkook said, "It was supposed to be a joke. Eunwoo is like my older brother, just like Yoongi hyung."

"That's not the point," Taehyung said, his voice rasing. " And tell me how many times did you wanted to see my reactions huh! Everything there was a gathering or something-"

Taehyung stopped in between as he felt nauseous again, " Oh fuck," Saying this he again ran to the bathroom.
