Jungkook POV

Could I just drop dead now???

That had been the only thought on my mind since Taehyung had walked in on me in the shower a few minutes ago and since then, I couldn't bring myself to leave the bathroom.

I ran my hand through my wet hair and let out a frustrated sigh. I honestly felt like punching myself in the face for not locking the door, but mainly, for doing something like that.

I took a deep breath and decided to just get it over with as I wrapped the towel around me and opened the door.

"Thanks a lot Baek. I don't know what I would have done without you. And yes, I'm hoping to see you soon"

I narrowed my eyes when I saw him talking to someone on the phone but the realization hit me when he said the name Baek. I instantly recognized it as the name Seokjin had told me.

I knew that I wasn't that close to him, but he would have told me if he had a boyfriend right?

I tried to make a run for it before he saw me, hoping that would alleviate some of the embarrassment I was bound to face in the near future as I quietly walked to the door and opened it as silently as I possibly could. I closed the door behind and turned around so swiftly that I didn't even see someone standing behind me and I widened my eyes when I saw Seokjin looking at me with his smug look.

"It's not what you think" I said almost immediately and thanked the lord above that my towel hadn't fallen off.

"Tell me you sneaking out in a towel totally flushed is not what I'm thinking." He said as he smirked at me.

"What are you even doing here?" I replied and watched a wide smile spread across his face.

"What are you doing here?"

"Do not answer a question with a question and if you must know, I was just taking a shower. The water isn't working in my bathroom." I lied and walked away and made my way down the hall to my room.

"So, out of all the bathrooms in this huge mansion, you just happened to take a shower in the one that belongs to your drop dead gorgeous bodyguard? Sounds pretty suspicious to me." He said as he walked beside me.

"Not everyone is a horny dog like you." I shook my head and opened my door, about to slam it in his face when he stopped me and suddenly looked dead serious, all traces of his previous humor now completely vanished.

"Your father wants to see you. He sent me to tell you since you would never listen to anyone else." He said as he looked me in the eyes.

"What does he want?" I asked as I walked back into the room, hearing Seokjin close the door behind him.

"He didn't say. Just that you had to meet him at home today." He said as he shrugged.

For as long as I can remember, my father and I never had the relationship a normal son and father would have. In fact, I didn't even have a relationship with him since he was never there.

He married my mother at a young age through an arranged marriage for political reasons and my mother fell pregnant with me immediately. Whether it was because he needed an heir or because he actually loved my mother at one point, will forever be mystery to me.

My father had taken over The Heartless Dragon when he was nineteen years old and that somehow required him to be there at all times. Eventually my mother grew tired of it all and ran off with some model, leaving me alone at the tender age of ten, with a man who had become heartless himself.

I shook my head and told Seokjin that I'd be there, secretly praying that something would come up so I didn't have to see his face.

I dressed in the first things my eyes saw which happed to be a black t shirt and black pants. I grabbed my black blazer and threw it over my shoulder as I made my way out. I probably was not looking at where I was going yet again because the next thing I knew, I was walking into someone again.

I was about to yell at the person for not looking where they were going when I found my voice stuck in my throat as I looked at Taehyung looking at me up and down, causing my face to become flushed all over again.

"Black suits you. Are you going somewhere?" He asked as he placed his hands in his pockets.

"Uh yeah. My father wants to see me" I replied as I walked on, knowing he would follow.

"Oh. Do you need me to drive you?" He asked as he walked behind me.

"Sure, why not"

All the way to my father's mansion, the ride had been quiet. Dead silent, and for someone who usually never kept quiet about anything, Taehyung sure had me worried.

"Is everything okay?" I asked and narrowed my eyes when I saw him staring straight ahead at the road as if he didn't even hear me.

I leaned forward and tapped the back of his neck making him gasp out loud and look at me through the mirror.

"I asked if everything was alright?"

"Everything's fine." He replied and went back to staring ahead.

"Taehyung, I can tell something's wrong. What is it?" I asked again and hoped that this time he would actually say something.

I watched patiently as he bit the inside of his cheek, almost of as if he was contemplating on where he should actually tell me or not, and I have no idea why that bothered me so much. Why did I want him to lay down all his feelings and tell me everything?

Why did I want him to trust me?

"It's my mother. She was rushed to the hospital." He said.

"Was she ill?" I asked in reply.

"No. She overdosed." He said in an emotionless voice leaving me with nothing to reply to that.

"Taehyung turn the car around."

"I'm sorry I don't understand."

"We're going to the hospital." I replied and watched him narrow his eyes at me, clearly not understanding what I was intending to do.

"We're going to see your mother. My father can wait."
