A Way To Your Heart - Chapter 8: Chapter 8

"I hate him."
Taehyung crossed his arms as he sat on the Jimin's bed after they had breakfast together.
"Taehyungie, that's the 6th time you're saying that since you came here."
Jimin shook his head as he turned on the TV.
"Why am I so unlucky? Like seriously... isn't that too much to eat everything alone like that?"
"But you already ate now right? Your stomach is already full now right? So stop complaining about him here in my house. You're looking like you just had a couple fight and complaining about it to your best friend."
Jimin said as he sat beside Taehyung who was glaring at him.
"What? Don't give me that look. I'm not gonna get scared of your glare."
Taehyung just frowned as he look away from Jimin who just shook his head.
"Well... I didn't get to say this yesterday because I had to go early but you should be thankful to him actually. You can breathe peacefully now because he even managed to convince your parents not to call anyone from your relatives on the wedding day. Or else everyone might already know that you're a married man even if it's just a deal between you and everyone will think you're a divorcee when you divorce him after your deal. He did all that for you so that you can live freely like you wanted. And for today's situation, there might not be food since you two just moved in there yesterday night and he even had work. I'm sure he also doesn't want his co workers to know about all this fake marriage thing between you two, that might be the reason why he went right away for his work. So stop thinking everything in negative way ok?"
Jimin patted Taehyung's back who kept silent after hearing his words.
"Well... I must say... he's quite handsome too. You're not that unlucky I guess."
Jimin winked but Taehyung smacked his face with the pillow lying beside him.
"Ok ok... I'll stop teasing you. You said your mother will send your things today right? Do you need my help?"
"No need."
Taehyung said as he got up from the bed.
"Really? As per as I know, you don't even wash your clothes on your own. Can you arrange everything on your own?"
"Do you think I'll do it myself? There's a big bunny in my house anyway."
Taehyung smirked alone as he walked out of Jimin's room.
"Yahh..!! Don't tell me you're going to let Jungkook do it for you."
Jimin shouted.
"I'm going Jiminie. Bye bye."
Taehyung didn't even care to listen to Jimin since he was busy imagining him ordering Jungkook around to do the works.
‐‐‐
Taehyung parked his car and entered his house but Jungkook wasn't back yet. He just plopped down the couch as he turned on his TV and scrolled through the channels while waiting for the other to come back.
Then after some time he heard some noise at the door, he smirked before getting up and walked to the door pulling up a serious face.
"You--"
Taehyung was about to say something thinking that would be Jungkook but he never expected his mother-in-law will be standing in front of the door with Jungkook.
"Aww... Were you waiting for my son? Are you disappointed that I will ruin your sweet couple moment if I'm here?"
Mrs. Jeon said as Taehyung lead her to the living room.
"Ah... No. Of course not. I just--"
"It's ok. I understand. I won't take long. I just came along with the butler to bring his things here. I brought yours too since your mother is not able to come here today. It's your first day as a married couple. Of course you'll miss him. I was even scolding my son for going to work even on this special day."
Mrs. Jeon said as she sat on the couch next to Taehyung.
"Jungkook, how can you leave him alone in this huge house? You could've let your works do to your secra---"
"Mom... Would you like to drink water? Isn't it hot here?"
Jungkook cut his mother off when she was about say his secretary.
"Hot? How? It's cold here."
Mrs. Jeon just sighed when Jungkook just went to take water for her eventhough she said she's fine.
"Were you lonely here while he went to work?"
She turned towards Taehyung who just shook his head with a no as he smiled helplessly not knowing what to do.
"Don't mind him to much. You might have already know that he's just so into his work all the time. He has been working all his life that he doesn't even have time to spend with us. But at least he could've spend his time with you now that you're already here by his side... at least this day because I know it's really a special day for newly married couple. All he can care is about his work but I was so happy when I found out that he's dating with you thinking that he can finally enjoy his life if I let him marry the one he likes. Please take care of him for me. I know he might have so many work but I'm afraid it will affect his health if it goes on like this. So don't let him overwork to much. He needs someone to be his side to take care of him."
Mrs. Jeon smiled as she gently pat Taehyung's head.
"And I'm sure you're the best one for my son. He will never show it but now he looks happier than before."
Taehyung kept silent after he heard her words. Her gentle pats were comforting as well. He could tell how much she might care about Jungkook just by her gentle tone while she speaks about him.
"Mom. Don't tell too much to him. His head is not enough to take all those things inside."
Jungkook gave a glass of water to his mother completely ignoring Taehyung's glare on him.
"Don't say something like that to my son-in-law. He's so precious and cute. You should treat him like a prince ok? Don't tease this innocent baby. He's not someone you can say anything you want like you do to your worke---"
"Mom. You said you'll go for shopping right? You'll be late or else Dad will be worried again."
Jungkook cut her off again.
"Shopping? When did I---"
She asked confusedly until she smiled suddenly.
"Oh yeah. I needed to buy something actually. I'll go now. I won't disturb you two anymore. Just enjoy your time together my babies."
Both of them didn't say anything as they watch her walked out of the room.
Taehyung took a glance at Jungkook who came back after closing the door. He recalled what Mrs. Jeon said just now, he did noticed the eye bags of the other, he might have not slept properly the last night after Taehyung took the bed... he wondered where he might be sleeping that night.
All of his thoughts were cut off when Jungkook waved his hands in front of his eyes.
"Hello? Still there?"
Taehyung blinked his eyes with a flinch.
"W-what?"
"Where were you staring at huh? Get up and bring all your things in your room. Just leave mine there itself."
"Here? Why?"
"Why? Do you want to bring my things as well? It's fine for me actually, I can sit here peacefully while you get all my stuffs to the room."
"Who said I want to do it? I'm just asking because I don't want you to keep your things in my room."
Taehyung crossed his arms as he look away.
"Don't worry about me. I'm taking that last room as mine so that we won't fight for who's going to sleep on bed or who won't. I was so cold yesterday night sleeping here in this couch that I almost caught cold."
"Who said I'm worried about you? And if you know there's another room there then why don't you go and sleep there yesterday instead of sleeping here in cold and complaining about it only now?"
"I could've, if I knew it yesterday. I only came to know today morning while searching for washroom. I'm telling you that I'll take that room now because I know it now."
Taehyung just huffed at Jungkook annoyingly and about to lift up a box but it was too heavy for his tiny arms that he couldn't even hitch it even for a centimeter.
Jungkook just sit there and tried to control his laughter seeing how Taehyung was struggling with the single box.
"Are you that weak? Do you need my help?"
Jungkook said after Taehyung tried to lift it for five times.
"No. I can... do it... my..self..."
Taehyung finally managed to lift the box with great difficulty.
"Huh.. you see that? I can---"
He couldn't even finish his words as the box fell on the ground along with Taehyung, scattering whatever that was inside the box.
Jungkook couldn't hold his laugh anymore that he bursted out into a loud laugh when he saw the way Taehyung dropped the box first and slipped his feet on the tiles and fell with his face on the floor.
But his laugh changed into a shocked and worried face when he saw Taehyung slowly getting up with a bit of blood by the corner of his lips.
"Taehyung..!!"
Jungkook wasted no time from rushing towards the other and helped him to get up properly.
He brought his hands to lift Taehyung's face up and saw the small cut by the corner of his lips.
"How can you be so careless huh? Come here."
He tried to drag Taehyung towards the couch but Taehyung hissed in pain.
"Are you hurt anywhere else?"
Taehyung sprained his ankle while he slipped, so Jungkook helped him to get up and made him sit on the couch as he got the first aid kit as quickly as possible.
"Lift your face here."
Jungkook carefully wiped the blood with a cotton swab and applied some ointment over the cut while Taehyung hissed in pain.
"Are you that weak that you can't even lift a box up? How are you going to bring all these things upstairs if you're going to be like this?"
Jungkook said as he sprayed a pain relief spray over his ankle and kept the first aid kit on the table.
"Yeah I'm weak. So what? You were laughing while I tried my best. You don't even have any humanity at all."
Taehyung frowned with a pout.
"Woah... are you serious? You said you don't need my help."
"But still you could've just helped me if you knew that I'm weak and I can't do it."
"Ok... Fine. I'll still help you eventhough you said you don't need any help next time. But you shouldn't complain later on whether you're satisfied with my help or not."
Jungkook crossed his arms.
"Well... what are you going to do with all that stuffs of yours now that you're injured huh?"
"I'm fine. I'll bring them up now."
Taehyung was about to stand up but Jungkook grabbed his wrist and made him sit again.
"You're not doing anything today. Do you get that?"
Jungkook glared at Taehyung who just pouted.
"What are you doing?"
Taehyung widen his eyes when Jungkook suddenly carried him bridal style.
"Nothing. Bringing you to your room."
Jungkook just smiled as he walk upstairs then to Taehyung's room.
He gently placed Taehyung on the bed.
"Rest here while I cook the lunch as per your punishment. Ok?"
Jungkook ruffled Taehyung's fluffy long hair with a smile.
Taehyung suddenly felt his face burning up at Jungkook's voice that was deeper than usual as their eyes met.
Maybe Jungkook isn't that of a bad guy. He sometimes look really caring and gentle too despite of his annoying nature. He finally looked away when he realized their eye contact that was doing some flips inside his chest.
"T-then... what about my things... I mean... I need to--"
"Sussshhh... Just leave that for now ok? You neet to take rest first and don't move around much until your ankle gets better."
Jungkook smiled as he pulled the duvet for Taehyung.
"If your ankle doesn't get better, who will bring your things up here?"
Taehyung opened his almost closed eyes.
"What?"
"What? Do you think I'll bring all your heavy things up here? Nah... Just pray to get better fast or else your things will be in living room only."
Jungkook's smile got already replaced by a smirk as he started to walked out of the room.
"Wait... what did you just... Oh my god... You little rude rabbit..!! Where are you going??"
Taehyung shouted when he realized what Jungkook said.
"No where. I'm gonna go cook for my dear wife or else he will die from starvation. Muahh...! Bye..!"
Jungkook stucked his tongue out before storming out of the room leaving a frustrated Taehyung alone in his room
Just when Taehyung started to think Jungkook wasn't that of a bad guy, it just turned into something else...
"I HATE YOU JEON JUNGKOOK..!!"
