"Baby", jungkook called, breaking the peaceful silence.

"Hmm", taehyung hummed with his eyes still close, his hands were rubbing jungkook's bare waist lovingly to sooth the little pain he must be feeling after their passionate activities.

Both were lying on the bed, jungkook was above taehyung's body, as their completely bare skin provided the warmth that never failed to make them contended.

"I haven't asked you earlier but I am really curious now.. Why taeri noona and mingyu hyung stay with us? Like I know her in-laws live in Ilsan.. Initially I though they live here for work but I think there's more to it", jungkook asked staring at void as his fingers were drawing patterns on taehyung's bare chest.

"Wait.. you don't know?", taehyung opened his eyes to look down at his husband. The room was dimly lit but they could see each other clearly.

Jungkook adjusted his head, resting it on his arms above taehyung's chest so that they can look at each other while talking.

"No.. You haven't told me and I never asked", jungkook shrugged, well he wasn't interested in knowing something that doesn't concern him but now he was curious.

"Ohh! You see, Taeri noona has always been an independent lady. She does respect our norms but at the same time she has her own strong opinion and always had everything in her ways.

She is the only daughter and you know daughters have special place in parent's heart and dad have always been easy on her. He has this blind trust on her that she would never go against our family rules.. And mom pampered her a little too much. Well they trust me and hyung and loved us too but still. Anyway..

So when her marriage was fixed with Mingyu hyung, he was working under his own father's company that time. And after marriage she use to live in Ilsan with her in-laws.

As mingyu hyung was their only child, they wanted grandchildren as soon as they got married and that didn't settle well with noona. She was just 22 at that time and had her own plans and didn't like how they were literally demanding for something she didn't wanted at that time..

Mom and dad tried to convince her that it was alright to have a kid early and then she can do whatever she want with life, because they didn't want her in-laws to say means words to her and them as well but noona didn't listen.

Hyung was always the soft one, he understood her perspective and tried to be there for noona and stood by her, saying they wanted kids at least a year later but the elders were adamant.

One thing led to other and noona left their house.", taehyung sighed reminiscing the old memories.

"Woah! She really has a strong will power, huh.. I have noticed how she doesn't give a damn about anything.. Even hyung sometimes..", jungkook chuckled and taehyung just hummed.

"So hyung came here willingly?", jungkook asked.

"Not really.. When noona came back, her in-laws wanted hyung to divorce her and remarry.. When noona came to know about it she dragged hyung along with her.. Threatening them with to take legal action as she didn't want to let hyung go", taehyung said.

"That was something.. But tell me, your so called orthodox minded parents didn't say anything to her, for pulling up those stunts?", jungkook mocked and earned a flick on his forehead from taehyung playfully.

"Brat", and jungkook pinched his nub as a revenge making him yelp.

"Yeah they were indeed angry on her for seperating hyung from his family but she didn't listen.. As I said she always had her way in everything", taehyung sighed.

"I wonder why didn't you share genes with your sister.. Only your smile is similar to her and nothing else.. You coward wild cat", jungkook glared before slapping the other's chest.

"Not my fault that I was moulded like this since childhood.. You are so mean", taehyung pouted at his husband who just rolled his eyes but snuggled into his neck anyway.

"My coward", jungkook mumbled into the others neck which had taehyung chuckling before he wrapped his arms around his fierce bunny and closed his eyes to sleep.

It's been a week since the party and everything was going as it was like past weeks.

Today was sunday and Jungkook has been demanding to go for a romantic fancy date.

"Koo.. I am not saying that I don't want to go.. Let's just go to our regular cafe, yeah?", taehyung tried to convince desperately.

"We always go there taehyungie.. I found this nice place for a perfect candle light dinner.. I want to go there", and jungkook was adamant with his choice which had taehyung sighing.

"We can go there next week love.. Please let's just go to the cafe today", taehyung pleaded again.

"But why the hell you don't want to go? You aren't even giving me a proper reason", and jungkook lost it as he yelled at taehyung.

The older sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose to control his emotions. He never yelled at jungkook but of course he have to be a little stern sometimes to calm the wild bunny down.

"Just say that you are not in the mood.. You want to return back early so that you can have dinner with your so called family and not with me", jungkook exclaimed with a scoff.

"Your family wasn't enough, now you too started denying me", he further added with a mock.

Taehyung stared at him in disbelief. He literally always go everywhere jungkook asks for, this was the only time he was denying and he was accused like that. He always feels guilty because of his family so tries his best to provide all the happiness to jungkook as much as he can. He knows jungkook doesn't mean anything, it's just his anger speaking but still it hurt him.

"How can you say that, koo? When did I even deny you with anything... And almost every sunday we have dinner outside, in fact we spend the whole day outside", taehyung exclaimed with hurt clearly evident in his eyes.

And that look might have churned something in the Bunny's heart. He didn't mean to hurt his baby, he just want to try his fancy restaurant.

"Alright.. Then at least tell me the reason why we can't go this week and can the next.. It's the same thing.. We will be going to the cafe anyway then why not this restaurant?", jungkook asked a little calmly this time.

Taehyung sighed giving up because he couldn't find any more convincing excuse that would hid the actual reason. He didn't want jungkook to get angry that's why he was avoiding to say the true reason. But seems like he had to say now.

Jungkook sighed seeing taehyung lost in his thought, he walked towards taehyung who was standing in the middle of the room and cupped his face.

"What is it?", he asked softly.

"I didn't receive my paycheck yet", taehyung mumbled lowly as he looked down. Jungkook frowned at the newly found information.

Paycheck? What paycheck?

"You mean, you didn't receive your monthly share of the profit, yet?", asked jungkook, trying to understand what taehyung implied by the term paycheck.

Taehyung couldn't meet jungkook's eyes because they never talked about this earlier. He was actually glad jungkook never asked. No! He wasn't ashamed but jungkook would burst if he gets to know the truth.

"I am asking something, taehyung", came a stern demand from jungkook, and taehyung knew he had no other choice. Jungkook only called his full name when he was dead serious.

"No", taehyung whispered.

"I...I receive p-paycheck every month", taehyung mumbled still not looking at jungkook who was dumbfounded.

"Like an fucking employee? They pay you like a mere WORKER?", jungkook yelled out the term in utter disbelief.

"You are a fucking kim", he yelled again.

"You are supposed to receive share not fucking paycheck", jungkook's breath was uneven out of anger.

He knew this fucked up family always discriminate but he didn't know they were this shameless to give a paycheck to their own son like an employee. Taehyung was supposed to be a shareholder for fucks sake.

"Koo.. Please calm down.. They pay me enough, alright.. Please.. Our expenses are perfectly managed with my slary so please don't be angry, love", taehyung was quick to calm jungkook who got silent again, because he knows this silence was before the storm.

So this was the reason jungkook never saw a black card with taehyung. He always payed with normal credit card, but jungkook never questioned.

"When were you suppose to receive your fucking salary?", jungkook asked through his gritted teeth.

"It's okay.. They-",

"WHEN", jungkook emphasized the word darkly.

"At 1st", taehyung mumbled.

"And today is 10th", jungkook muttered starring dead at taehyung who was having a hard time in holding the gaze.

"I am sorry, koo.. I denied your wish.. I used most of my savings in buying those fits.. I am sorry...I thought I would receive it anytime soon.. It won't happen again baby..", taehyung rambled literally nonsense out of nervousness. Jungkook doesn't care about the dinner, now all he cared about was that paycheck thing.

"Koo.. Koo... Fuck", taehyung called out when jungkook simply walked out of the room with an unreadable expression on his face.

Taehyung tried to stop him but it felt like the younger was literally possessed, he even jerked his hands away from taehyung when he held onto it to stop the younger.

Jungkook barged inside the study room startling the older kim couple who were talking peacefully untill now.

"What kind of behavior is this jungkook? Don't you know you are suppose to knock?", yejin said sternly but the other just ignored her.

Jungkook stood in front on the two with a deadly look on his face then they saw taehyung walking inside in panic and hold onto jungkook.

"Sorry mom dad.. Jungkook lets go", he tried to drag the younger but he jerked himself away yet again. The elders were so confused but waited for them to say something.
