Chereads / Broken Without You (Kim Taehyung FF) / Chapter 16 - Going to his hometown - 2

Chapter 16 - Going to his hometown - 2

He went upstairs and there were a lot of pictures of their family.

"Wow! There are a tons of your family photos." I said.

"These photos are mostly of me with my siblings and my parents. My grandmother, is rarely in photos. You see, this is her." He said and showed a picture off him with his grandmother.

"My grandmother taught me a lot of things. She'd tell stories to us when sleeping and teach us things." He said as he walked. I followed him.

He went to a backyard and there it was. A big farm.

"This is the farm. We grow veggies as well as poultry and graze cattle." He said. I followed him.

"My grandmother taught me how to pluck these carrots and wash them. How to graze the cattle and she also taught me how to pluck the extra weeds. And...." Before he said he looked at me.

I just looked at him. He talked a lot about his grandmother. And it was fascinating to listen about someone he loves.

"What are you looking at me for?" He asked.

"You really love your grandmother, right?" I asked.

"yeah. How do you know?" He asked.

"You really talked only about her and she really was an important person in your life." I said by understanding how much he told about her.

"Yeah. My parents were really busy, back then and my grandmother was the one who took care of us. She took care of me half of my life. But she passed away." He said the last words sad.

"I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say.

"It's ok. People come and go. That's life." He said.

I felt sad for him. I wished if I could comfort him, if I could keep him happy. But I can't. He;s someone elses and I'm just his fake girlfriend. But I'll be happy as long as he atlest stays as my friend.

He suddenly held my hand. Then I heard another voice.

"Tae-ah, here have this. Y/n you also take some." His mother came and gave us a drink.

"Drink it. It tates really good." He said. I drank it and as he said it was really damn tasty.

"Do you have more of this auntie?" I asked.

"Sure." She said.

"I'll take it myself auntie. Just tell me where to go."

"Just go straight and left. You'll find the kitchen and it'll be in a pot. If you can't find it, ask Eon Jin. She'll help youu ifnd it." She said.

"ok auntie." I said and made my way to the kitchen.

I went to the kitchen and saw Jeong Gyu there.

I went in and searched for the pot that auntie said, but there were a tons of them in there. I kept searching for it in each and every pot.

I saw Jeong Gyu giggling at me.

"What are you giggling at?" I asked. I couldn't help but only ask.

"N-nothing." He said.

"What are you searching for?" He asked.

"You see, there was this drink that auntie gave me and I really liked it. I asked her for more and she said it was in here. But I'm kinda confused as to what pot is in." I said.

"Here." He said and gave a pot.

I poured it and drank it.

"Do you drink this regularly?" I asked.

"Yeah. Everyday. It's for our bones to be strong."

"It's really wonderful though." I said and finished the very last sip.

"Noona, I'm sorry if I didn't greet you." He said.

"Its' ok. I didn't mind. You can talk when you're comfortable. You don't need to force yourself." I said patting his back.

I don't want to force him to talking. It's his wish. If he wants or whenever he's ready he can talk.

"And thanks for showing where the drink was." I said and left and saw Eon Jin.

"Unnie, come with me." She pulled my hand and ran.

"Unnie, they are my friends. This is my brother's girlfriend, Lee Y/n. She's also a photographer." She said and introduced me to her friends.

"Nice to meet you guys." I said and shook hands with them.

"Y/n." I heard taehyung call me. He soon came where I was and put his hand on my waist.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was getting to know Eon Jin's friends." I said.

"Enough of knowing them. Now, come with me." He said and pulled me away from there.

"Wait." I said and turned.

"I will see you guys another time." I said to her friends and left with him.

"Bye unnie." They all said in unison.

"You see, there's a problem here." He said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"My mom actually has told everyone that I'm with someone and everyone knows about it. So we've to be like that everywhere." He said.

"Ok." I just said. I don't know why I even said that.

"Thanks." He didn't ask anything else and held my hand.

"Looks like you've got really close with Eon." He said.

"Yeah. More than me, she is the first to talk." I said.

"You'll get used to Jeong Gyu. He'll talk to you within a day or two."

"Who said he didn't talk?"

"What? When?He asked shocked.

"Remember when I wanted another glass of that drink and I went to the kitchen and found him there. I was confused where the drink was, and he offered to help. He apologised for not greeting me well."

"Yo-you're lying." He said laughing.

"Ani. He really did talk."

"He never really talks to anyone so soon. If what you said was true, you're the first. He never really likes interacting with anyone. Maybe there's some magic in you." He said.

"Stop." I said and hit his arm.

"Ok. So this is my friends house. He's always been with me forever. HEY TIGER!!" He shouted.

"LION!!!!" A guy came out shouting, looked the same age as us and they both hugged.

"Jae Beom, my best friend. I call him tiger. This is Lee Y/n, my girlfriend." Taehyung said.

"Nice meeting you." He said and we shook hands.

"Nice meeting you too." I said.

"How did you guys meet?" He asked.

"In a coffee house." He said.

"She spilt coffee on me, by mistake, and offered to buy me a new shirt. I refused but she insisted. And that's how it all started." He said.

This guy, I really don't know what to do with him. I know this whole thing is a lie, but doesn't he know what to lie in?

"Anyways, we'll get going. See ya tomorrow." He said and we walked.

"Where are we going now?" I asked.

"Home." He said. I sighed and put my shoulders down and walked. I felt relieved we're going home.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Nothing." I said and walked.

Soon we reached home and I asked,

"Where do I stay?" Cause I didn't know where I would stay since the time I came here.

"Sorry, I forgot. Come with me." He said and grabbed my hand and took me to a room.

"You'll be staying here. This is my room." He said.

"Thanks a lot." I said and flopped on the bed.

And I slept immediately as I lay down.

****************

Third person POV

Taehyung was surprised to see Y/n flopping on the bed. She slept and he admired her. He just looked at her and smiled.

'You're making me confused. I really don't know what this feeling I have. Whenever I hold your hands, I feel something else. You make me feel different. But Ara's still in my heart. I don't know what to do.' He said to himself.

He let her sleep and went out.

"Jeong Gyu, did you really talk with Y/n?" He asked as he saw him outside.

"Yeah hyung. Anything wrong?" He asked.

"You never talked with Ara Cho. And you talk with Y/n the day she comes in. Tell me." He insisted.

"Hyung, there's nothing I think about unnie." Jeong Gyu said.

"Come on. Just tell. I won't tell anyone nor tease you. Promise." Taehyung said.

"Ok. Unnie makes me feel comfortable. She didn't force me to talk. Unnie let it up to me, whether to talk or not. And she's also supportive." He said.

Taehyung thought about Y/n while he said those things about her. All those were true.

"Hyung?" He called him and he came back to his senses.

"I'm happy that you are getting over your shyness. If you talk with her for two days, you'll soon get over it." Taehyung said and ruffled his hair and he went to his room.

Taehyung sat down and thought how he felt with Y/n and how he felt with Ara.

He felt more of himself with Y/n but a part of his heart still likes Ara. He was confused. Confused as to how he felt with each of them.

"Tae." He heard his mother. She came and sat beside him.

"How are you doing in Seoul? Is everything ok? Are you taking care of yourself?" His mother asked concerned.

"Ne eomma. Everything's good. The others are also good."

"I couldn't look at you and Y/n. I was really busy."

"It's ok eomma. Y/n's sleeping anyways." He said.

"Where does she work?"

"She works with me. We both are in the same section."

"She's really beautiful and looks well talented. I really like her Tae. I'm actually happy that you got someone wonderful to our house. Eon Jin kept talking about her. She's also well mannered. Eon said that she was really smart." His mother said. He just smiled.

'How will mom react if I said this was all just a plan? That I really don't like her. How will she react if I say she is Ara Cho's sister?'

He kept thinking things on how his family would react. Would they be happy if he said he still liked Ara? Not only this but to all the things he had to say yet.

"Tae, what are you thinking?" His mother asked him.

"Nothing eomma."

"Ok, wake up Y/n. Let's eat together." He nodded and went to his room and sat down and looked at Y/n.

"I'm stuck in between. I don't know what to do. But I hope I have wonderful memories with you here. And I will find out what I have with you." He whispered to himself and woke her up.

"Y/n. Wake up." She stretched her hands and saw Taehyung.

"Let's eat dinner. Come. And I'll introduce you to my father." He said.

she nodded and got down and refreshed herself.

"Let's go." she said sleepily and they both walked.

Suddenly, Y/n shouted.
