"You're one brat, Mr. Jeon but accurate, you are just like your father," Taehyung's dad ridiculed and glared at his mom who now ran to get the door.

"Sir, even you yourself know that whatever I said is all true, you don't deserve such a sweet family I swear to God―" Jeongguk couldn't finish his sentence when he was interrupted by his father who entered the house just now.

"Jeongguk, that's not how you talk to someone, apologize." he said looking over at the man almost around his age who used to be his best friend once.

"But dad―"

"Apologize, now!" he didn't listen to him and ordered. Having no choice, the blond had to do what he said and looked down at his feet mumbling, "I am so sorry sir."

"Keep your son away from mine, this is the first and last warning I am giving you," Taehyung's father warned holding his pointer finger in the air as he spoke and glared at Taehyung who was terrified.

He scooted closer to Jeongguk and tightened his grip against his hand.

"Hansung, they like each other."

Jeon Jonhan tried to start an argument as Jeongguk told him about how much he liked the older and they were now dating. He would absolutely hate it if his rivalry or his past comes and ruin his son's happiness. He can't let this happen. No.

"You sure this isn't you or your son's some stupid games. You sure he ain't trying to trap and distract my son?" Hansung asked, his voice cold and full of doubts that made Jeongguk to glare at him, "Why do you think like that?"

"I actually do like―" Jeongguk couldn't complete his sentence when Taehyung pulled his hand and walked ahead of him, "You do not need to justify your feelings for me, Jeongguk.

"Dad, stop it. I beg you." Taehyung was now in front of Jeongguk who stood just behind, his hand on his shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.

"You already doubt my efforts to fulfill your dream. That's alright but you don't have the right to question someone's feelings for me just because he is the son of your rival. Enough." Taehyung finally took a stand for himself and all thanks to Jeongguk.

"Look what you made my son, he turned into some impudent brat, just like you," his father glared at him and then at the blond boy behind while Jeongguk's father let out the longest sigh.

"Hansung, this isn't the right time for this, we have more important thing to deal with." Jonhan spoke, rubbing his temples as he didn't know how to stop this fight.

"There's nothing more important than this," the other replied taking a step forward and grabbing Taehyung's wrist pulling him, "You stay in your room and don't come out if you want to still call me dad."

"That's so fucking unfair―" Taehyung couldn't even finish as his dad started pulling him with him, Jeongguk was about to follow but stayed back seeing the man holding his hand up in the air directed at him.

"Don't you dare."

"Sir;"

"Not a word, young man. Forget my son and stay away. I know your tricks and won't let him fall for your sweet little trap." he said pulling the brunet with him upstairs even when he was now crying actual tears.

"Dad, do something." Jeongguk asked his father for help but at this moment, Taehyung was safe inside that room so he just nodded and mumbled, "Everything will be alright, just give it some time."

"Mrs. Kim," when Jeongguk's dad didn't do anything that moment, he approached his boyfriend's mother who stayed quiet all these time, "Please, Mrs. Kim. Whatever he is saying isn't true. I don't have any trap for him, he is just so convinced that I am a horrible person and so I can't stop him but you can, you don't know how much Taehyung misses you and wants to come home but for his dad and his illogical lectures, he thinks hundred times before doing that. He loves you and kind of expects you to take a stand for him. Please do something."

Silence was again the answer and Jeongguk just again sought out for his dad's help, "Dad, please."

Jeongguk was almost crying now. Taehyung's crying face replaying in his mind over and over again, "You can't let this happen, it's not illegal or something to date, what the fuck."

"Jeongguk, trust me. I will make it right. Just let Tae stay here for tonight." Jonhan patted his back and Jeongguk didn't say anything further.

"Now you two, get lost." Hansung came back after locking Taehyung in his room, also sealing the door with the spell so that Taehyung can't use any magic and get out. His eyes filled with fury as they looked at both the males.

"Moreon is missing." Jonhan finally said the thing he was here for but expected reaction wasn't there. He surely didn't expect that bitter chuckle which caught him off guard.

"He is dangerous, Hansung and I was here to pick my son and also to warn you and your family to be safe. Taehyung was the one who attacked him first so he could come searching for him."

"He is dangerous, yes but we don't need to worry,"

"What do you mean?"

"Something you can never understand, so get lost. About my son and his safety, I am there for it. You don't have to worry," he replied, pointing at the door, gesturing them to get out.

"And you young man, don't you even come near my son." he threatened and Jeongguk didn't utter a single word. Stayed quiet while his father grabbed his hand and started pulling him outside.

He couldn't but look up at the window to Taehyung's room and there his favourite person was, standing, with tears in his eyes which weren't visible of course because of the distance but he knew the brunet was crying.

Taehyung tried to open the window but the spell his father did to seal the room was too strong.

He saw him walking away and that moment, his heart dropped but just a moment after, Taehyung was again by the window. Jeongguk saw him holding his phone near his ear.

Jeongguk's phone started vibrating and he immediately got it.

"This is not our end, Jeon Jeongguk. We still have to go a long way," the younger one heard his dear one's voice speak, that deep voice crying out was hurting him more than he thought it would and he was totally heart broken.

"My dad can keep me locked here for a day, max a week. Then I am coming back to you. We will watch movies when I do okay and also make out properly cause everytime we try that, someone is disturbing," Taehyung said with a small chuckle amidst his sobs.

Jeongguk smiled a little at that and nodded furiously, "Yes, I will be waiting for you, Tae."

There was a moment of silence between them, just them staring at each other's figures from afar.

"Hey, I don't care how complicated this shit gets but just know that I really want you." Jeongguk whispered smiling, wiping that last tear.

"So see you soon?"

"Yeah, definitely. Goodnight."

"Goodnight my favourite person."

Taehyung also cheered up and ended the call because he didn't want this conversation to stretch and again get to some melancholy filled one, they said what they had to so it's better to not talk anymore at the moment.

"You're my favourite person as well, Jeon Jeongguk." Taehyung murmured under his breath and waved at his boyfriend who did the same and walked to the car where his father already was seated in.

"I promise everything will be alright, Gguk. Trust me."

"I do, dad. I trust you more than I trust myself." Jeongguk smiled feeling accomplished after he talked to the brunet. He threw his head back on the seat and folded his arms over his chest.

"How did Moreon escape?"

"I don't know, I was at home when they called me." he said starting the car, and driving out of the Kim's driveway.

"Dad, I didn't tell your earlier but I think I should tell you now, when you were still healing, I was attacked," Jeongguk finally said it and his dad's heart clenched at the words, worry and fear flushed his whole body and he looked over his shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me or anyone?"

"Everyone was already worried about as you weren't getting up, mom was always crying. How could I?" Jeongguk tried to reason but no, doesn't matter whatever the situation was, Jeongguk should have informed someone.

"I am so mad at you for this," his dad said while drove passed the series of trees.

"Sorry."

"Don't you ever do that okay? Never again."

"Never." Jeongguk smiled.

"Also why did Hansung say that he doesn't have to worry about Moreon?"
