Chapter 6 - 06

Author POV

In the middle of the night, Jungkook woke up from constant screams from Taehyung. He sat up and shook Tae, trying to wake him up.

"Tae, wake up," Jungkook said, but it didn't wake Taehyung up, so he tried again.

"TAE," He yelled, Taehyung shot up, with tears streaming down his face. He looked at Jungkook and hugged him tightly, sobbing.

Jungkook hugged him back, rubbing his back to comfort him.

"Shh, it's okay, he is not going to hurt you," Jungkook whispered, feeling his heart clench, seeing his boyfriend in a terrible state.

After some time, Taehyung's cries turned into small sniffles, still holding onto Jungkook tightly.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked, still rubbing Taehyung's back.

"I'm scared," Taehyung shakenly said.

"Don't, worry it's just Jimin and me here. We'll protect you," He responded, kissing the top of Taehyung's head.

Jungkook's POV

I was worry about Taehyung as he got a nightmare. I didn't ask him what it was about since I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable.

"Do you want to go back to sleep, Tae?" I asked.

"Yes, but can you hold me?" He asked, looking at me with big puppy eyes.

"Of course, how can I say no to you," I laughed, laying back down on the bed, pulling Taehyung on top of me. "Is this comfortable for you?" I asked. He nodded his head, circling his arms around my neck.

"Goodnight Kiss," He said, pouting his lips. I laughed before pecking his lips multiple times.

"Goodnight, Tae," I said.

"Goodnight, Kookie," He said, stuffing his face in my neck.

In the morning

"GET Y'ALL ASSES UP,"

"GET UP IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT DOOR BROKEN DOWN," I groaned, opening my eyes. I reached for my eyes to check the time, to see that it was 9 in the morning.

I tried to pull Taehyung off of me, but he just wrapped his legs around me and held onto me tighter. I let him stay on me and slowly sat up, not wanting to wake him up.

Once, I sat up, successfully, I got up from the bed. I held Tae up as I walked to my door, opening it, walking out of my room.

I walked into the living room, seeing Jimin laying down, watching the TV. I went over to him and sat down on the open spot, gaining his attention.

"Is he still asleep?" He said, cooing at Taehyung.

"Yeah, I tried getting him off of me, but he wouldn't let go of me. I'm not complaining, though, he is so cute when he is sleeping," I said, smiling at Taehyung sleeping.

"You're whipped for him," He said, staring at me with a smile.

"I am," I responded, still smiling

"You are happy," He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at him with a confused face.

"You never smiled like that before. I never saw you this happy in my life, either. You're always angry or have a blank face but, when you met Tae, you changed. You started smiling and being positive. He changed you,"

"I didn't even know about that. I just wanted to protect him ever since I laid my eyes on him. When he told me that he was being abused by his father, I knew that I wouldn't hurt him. I tried everything to make sure that he wouldn't get hurt. But I failed," I softly said. Jimin combed his fingers through my hair.

"It's not your fault. You did everything you could. His father is just an asshole who doesn't know how to take care of a loving and caring son. None of this is your fault," He said, pinching my cheek.

"You didn't fail to protect me," I heard, I looked down to see Tae looking up at me with tired eyes.

"Go back to sleep baby," I said, kissing his cheek.

"No, I'm awake now," He said, putting his face into my chest.

"You guys are so cute," Jimin said, ruffling our hair.

The sound of the doorbell rung and Jimin got off the couch and opened the door.

"Oh, hi mother," I heard, Jimin says. I looked to the door and saw my stepmother walk into the house.

"What are you doing here? You were supposed to come back in a couple of days," I said, rolling my eyes.

"What a great way to greet your mother, Jungkook,"

"Oh shut up, you're not my mother," I said.

"Why is there a boy on your lap?" She said.

"Because he is my boyfri-"

"M-Mother?" I looked, at Tae, to see him with wide eyes.

"What?" Jimin and I said.

"What are you doing in my house, you useless piece of shit?" My stepmother said to Tae.

"You're not going to talk to my boyfriend like that," I said, moving Tae off my lap, getting up from the couch.

"I can talk to the useless thing however I want. He is my son," She shouted at me. "Tell me, how is your pathetic father?" She asked him but Taehyung ignored her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked me.

"Tell you what?" I said, confused.

"Why didn't you tell me, you're stepmother is my mother?" He said, getting up.

"Tae, Jungkook, and I had no idea this was your mother. She never told us that she has any kids. How were we supposed to know," Jimin calmly said, walking towards Tae, but Taehyung put his hand up, stopping Jimin from getting closer to him.

"I wasn't talking to you, Jimin. I was talking to Jungkook," He said, he walked to me and looked me with broken eyes.

"Why didn't you fucking tell me?" He said.

"Like Jimin said. I didn't kn-," I was cut off by a harsh slap to my face. I touched my cheek and looked at Taehyung, sadly.

"I got abused because of her. I told you that my mother left me when I was young. Why didn't you just think?" He said, before walking away, but I stopped him and grabbed his wrist, pulling him to my room.

When we got into my room, I yanked him in my room and shut the door, locking it. I turned around, looking at him.

"You think I knew that that monster of a woman was your mother. You thought I knew and wanted to hurt you. I know for a fact you heard me talk to Jimin earlier about how I felt like I failed to protect you, and you just slap me. I don't like that woman one bit. I never did in my life. I know that you might be mad at me, but I promise you that I would never do that to you," I angrily said. I walked towards Tae and got in his face, putting my forehead against his. "I never want to hurt you because I love you," I said, looking into his teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm just used to getting hurt. I just don't like seeing her. I never wanted to see her again after she left me. I just wanted to be happy. She ruined my life. I thought she would never appear in my life, and now she is in my life again. I want to leave," He cried out.

"Let's leave then," I stated, pulling away from him and walking to my closet.

"What?" He said.

"You heard me. We are leaving," I said, pulling all my clothes out of my closet and stuffing it into a duffle bag.

"We don't have anywhere to live. You're crazy," I laughed, zipping my suitcase and grabbing my phone and charger.

"We have somewhere to go," I said, grabbing his hand and walking us out of my room to the front door.

"Jungkook, where are you going?" Jimin asked, seeing the duffle bag.

"I'm giving you a chance. You either are coming with me or staying here by yourself," I said.

"I'm confused, but I'm coming with you. I'll be back in a second," He said, before rushing to his room.

A minute later, Jimin came back with 2 bags.

"Let's go, gays," He said, grabbing his keys and walking out the door. Tae and I shrugged our shoulders and walked out the door, slamming the door after walked out.
