《YOUR EYES TELL || Taekook ||》[9]

It was almost 3am when Taehyung stopped his car.None of them spoke a single word during the long drive.Jungkook was busy in his own thoughts while Taehyung was thinking how he would explain things to the younger.
Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a confused expression lacing his face when the car stopped only to see the elder was already looking at him.Taehyung got out of the car and opened the door for Jungkook.He helped the boy to get out of the car as his ankle was sprained because of tripping onto something hard earlier.Jungkook's mouth hung open when he saw where they were standing.
It was a modern looking big house.One can call it a mension.There was a fountain in front of the house.Jungkook couldn't see further since it was dark and they were still outside the big campus of the house.The place was somehow giving him a comfortable feeling.Before he could ask Taehyung something, the voice of the security guard in the front gate startled him.
"Welcome home, young master." The man said with a polite bow which was returned by Taehyung.Jungkook was too clueless to react anyways.
"How many times should I tell you to call me just Taehyung." Taehyung said, rolling his eyes to which the man just scratched his nape in embarrassment.Jungkook just stood there, blinking his eyes.
"Let's go." Taehyung said to Jungkook and took his left hand in his right while walking forward.Jungkook didn't utter a single word and just followed Taehyung.His eyes took in each and every detail of the beautiful place as Taehyung's warm hand which was holding him, gave his heart a content feeling.
They stopped in front of the big door and Taehyung rang the doorbell enthusiastically, not minding if the people inside were sleeping or not.Jungkook gasped when he realised what Taehyung was doing.
"H-hyung, t-the fa-family must be...Ummm....sl-sleeping." Jungkook spoke up hesitantly while blinking his big, doe eyes at Taehyung, giving the older an almost heart attack without even trying.The boy was looking clueless and his voice was small and a bit cracked because of crying so much and may be, getting a bit cold.
Taehyung opened his mouth to reply but before his voice could come out, the door was opened by a beautiful, middle-aged lady.A handsome man who may be a few years older than the lady stood beside her.They looked anything but sleepy even though it was almost dawn.

"Tae, my baby, we were waiting for you two for so long." The man spoke up and hugged Taehyung tightly.Soon he pulled out of the hug and smiled at Jungkook warmly with the same boxed shaped smile as Taehyung's.The man ruffled Jungkook's hairs affectionately which surprisingly didn't make Jungkook feel uncomfortable.He tried to smile back when his eyes land on the lady kissing Taehyung's cheek lovingly.By now, Jungkook was sure they are Taehyung's parents.Deep down in his heart, he missed his parents seeing their interactions......
"You must be Jungkook?This brat talks a lot about you.Come, come....let's go inside." The woman spoke up in one go and dragged Jungkook inside, as if he wasn't some stranger to her.Jungkook looked at the interior unknowingly and his lips curved upwards a tiny bit.Yes, he was missing his home, his parents so much but this home, Taehyung's parents, his Taehyung hyung, they made him feel less lonely.He felt warm inside even though they just met?
"Jungkook-ah, son, please go and freshen up.And my brat, you too.I'll serve you two meal afterwards and then just go to sleep.We have a lot to talk tomorrow yeah?" Taehyung's mom said while caressing Jungkook's left cheek while she barely glanced at Taehyung.The elder didn't mind though.He just loved to see the new emotions in Jungkook's eyes.He knew Jungkook will feel better soon!

Taehyung was twisting and turning on his bed, feeling unable to sleep even after being physically tired.That's when he heard a knock on his door.He sat up mumbling a "come in".It was Jungkook!
The boy hesitantly took steps towards Taehyung after closing the door.His whole posture was tensed.He was given the guest room to rest but seems like he too was unable to sleep.Taehyung just smiled sadly seeing him like that.He patted the place near him asking the younger silently to sit there.
"You want to talk?" Taehyung asked softly when Jungkook sat beside him, fidgeting with the hem of the shirt he was wearing, well, Taehyung's shirt.
"T-tell me everything, hyung." The boy looked at Taehyung with a pleading look which made the elder sigh defeatedly.Well, of course, the boy won't be able to feel peace without knowing why and what happened.

"Okay." Taehyung replied, sighing a bit.Jungkook shuffled a bit closer to him and sat down facing him, looking at him with eyes filled of curiosity.
"So, when you told me about your....Umm....past, I-I started thinking how to give justice to your parents." Taehyung said and looked at Jungkook who had an unreadable expression on his face.Taehyung heaved a sigh and continued -
"I wanted the mafia leader and his goons to be caught by the police, just like your father wanted.Even though I wanted to tell you about it so bad, I thought you'll be terrified knowing I want to take the matter in my hands.You probably would think I was doing it to pity you.Long story short, I didn't want you to stop me.So I talked to my parents about it.
As you already know, my father is a business man too.He has so many connections with the higher officials of our country.I thought he would be of help.When I talked to him about what happened, he was not that surprised.He told me that he knew your father.They were kinda friends because of being in the same field.Apparently, appa was about to sign a new contract with your dad's company for some project when all those horrible things happened.Appa tried to find out who did it to his friend's family.He even had an idea of who was behind all those mess.But without proofs, he couldn't do anything.
When I told him about you, he was happy to know that you're safe and sound.Appa said he knew about your parents having a son but he never saw you.That time......after y-your p-parents' d-d-death.......the po-police inquired a-about you b-but t-they de-declared you............d-dead when they c-couldn't f-find any c-clue." Taehyung's eyes became teary and his voice cracked while saying the last few sentences.He looked at Jungkook to see him sitting with a broken look on his face.Taehyung continued speaking, sniffling every now and then....
"After talking with appa, we visited one of his good friends who's in the police service.We filed a case against them and the man asked us to bring all the proofs to them.
T-that day, w-when I we-went out, I actually went to the police station.I-I'm ashamed of myself to say this but I-I took the e-evidences with me, t-the evidences which y-your father g-gave you." Taehyung looked at Jungkook with scared eyes, fearing to hatred in those beautiful orbs for him.But he saw none.Jungkook's expression was completely blank.It was hard to understand what he was feeling at the moment.Taehyung gulped away the lump forming on his throat and keep talking -
"When I was coming back from the police station, I got a call from my father's friend who told me that the mafias somehow got to know where you were staying at and they knew that you have the evidences against them.There was someone in the police department who was leaking the informations to them just because of money." Taehyung said with disgust.
"Luckily I was about to reach our apartment at that time.I saw two black cars stopping in front of the apartment and people getting out of them with weapons in their hands.I-I was losing my mind, th-thinking I-I'll lose you.But I tried to calm myself down and to th-think of ways to get y-you out of the apartment r-right on time." Taehyung said, tears of relief streamed down his cheeks.....
"You did it, baby.I'm s-so proud of you.The moment y-you got out of the ap-apartment, po-police circled the wh-whole area.They are now in the custody....all of them." Taehyung smiled a little with wobbling lips.He was happy that everything fell into places at last.
"I-I hate you, hyung....."
Jungkook who was sitting there silently even after Taehyung completed speaking everything out, suddenly voiced out those words that broke Taehyung's heart completely.Hell, he was devastated !
"I-I h-ha-ate y-ou s-so m-much......."
Jungkook shuttered out the words as he cried his heart out........

Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— What do we talk about tonight? ~“How about a story?”~ Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one. ~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~ Was it strong then? ~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it? ~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~ So he became a hero and changed the world? ~“…”~ Tell me. ~“Nooo, that's not how the story goes. This isn't a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was... kinder than the rest.”~ A kind demon? How boring. ~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~ So tell the story!

Do you want to see magi, vampires, and all manner of otherworldly badasses clash both in the open and behind closed doors? If you do, I present to you: Storia! If you enjoy Brandon Sanderson's intricate and comprehensive magic systems, or Patrick Rothfuss's beautiful prose, or Stephen King's facility with language, or Max Gladstone's use of fantastic elements as a means of explaining the invisible forces that move the real world, well...
