Fake Boyfriend || A Taekook Fanfic - Chapter 48: Chapter 48

JUNGKOOK'S POV
"Why are all of you here?" I asked the gang who had decided to invade my house without my permission. I had gone for a meeting and when I came back home, I was greeted by the nosy idiots.
"Why are we here? We are here for the marks," Yoongi said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"You guys can check your marks from your home itself. Why come here?" I asked them and they shrugged. Why am I stuck with annoying people?
"Then, at least explain to me why Jin is here?" I pointed at Jin who was busy talking to Lily about a dish which he was going to prepare next week.
"Because he is here to support his Tae baby," Hobi said and I sighed.
"Ten more minutes," Namjoon announced and we gathered around my laptop. Our results were going to be published on the school's website and it was rank wise. That means, they will show which position the student stands in the grade. I was the topper in my grade so I was always first.
I saw Taehyung hugging Jimin as he looked at the laptop's screen with fear. Were marks really terrifying?
"Five minutes," Namjoon announced and everyone sat even more closer. I was laying down on the floor and busy looking at my selfies. I could hear some weird noise and I realized it was Jin munching on popcorn. Must be enjoying the show here.
"Two more minutes," Namjoon said and they were now biting their nails and anxiously waiting for the results. I left my phone and sat beside Taehyung who was chewing on Jimin's scarf while Jimin was chewing Yoongi's hair.
"THERE IS ONLY A MINUTE LEFT!" Jin yelled and that was when almost everyone started to panic.
"OMG! I AM GOING TO FAIL!" Taehyung yelled and he started to run around the hall like a wild animal. Luckily, he didn't break anything down.
"Thirty seconds," Hobi said and I snickered. This was like waiting for a comeback of some group. I felt Taehyung hiding behind me and I smiled. What a baby.
"Ten seconds," Suga said and Yoongi bit his lips. Why are the Min's so scared? Oh yeah, I forgot! Their parents must have threatened to take away their favorite pillow if they didn't get good marks.
"Five seconds," Jin said and I could hear Taehyung's teeth chattering.
"3...2...1...CLICK IT!" we started to countdown and Namjoon clicked the link.
500 internal server error. There was an error
This website cannot be reached for now.
"THE HECK!" we all yelled and that was when all hell broke loose.
"THIS IS A SIGN! A SIGN THAT I WILL FAIL!" Taehyung yelled and he ran out of the mansion and into the woods with Jin chasing after him.
"NAMJOON YOU BROKE IT! YOU GOD OF DESTRUCTION!" Suga and Yoongi yelled at poor hyung who was restarting the page several times.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! I NEEED TO PEE!" Jimin yelled and ran to the bathroom. That's the weird hyung right there.
"We just have to be patient guys. So many people will be checking it and that is why the server crashed," Hobi said. He was really the sunshine of the group. "But if it doesn't come in five minutes, I might have to kill you all." Nope, he is the dark sunshine of our group.
"LET ME GO! THIS IS A SIGN THAT I HAVE FAILED! I NEED TO GO TO THE SEA." I could hear Taehyung screaming from outside. Looks like Jin caught him right on time.
The door opened and Taehyung was being dragged by Jin by his hoodie. He was kicking and crying out. Sad kid.
"It is loading," Namjoon said and we all ran to the laptop.
"JIMIN! THE SITE IS WORKING NOW!" Yoongi yelled.
"WHAT THE HECK? I STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED MY BUSINESS!" Jimin yelled from upstairs and I laughed.
"Okay. Here it is. This one is ours," Namjoon showed us the laptop and we all stared at the screen.
1. Kim Namjoon          100%
2. Beach Bitch       98.1%
3. No Jams               95%
...
10. Jung Hoseok         93%
...
18. Min Suga                  87.1%
19. Min Yoongi              87%
...
"Wow! Namjoon is the best," Jin squealed with joy and hugged him in front of us. I smirked when I saw Namjoon's face went beet red.
"You guys are so cool," Taehyung said, "Wish I could get a percentage like that."
"You will," I said and he looked away. Still hates me.
"Now it is your turn. All the best!" Namjoon scrolled down and we reached our grades ranks.
1. Jeon Jungkook            100%
2. Pornessian Parrapio              98.7%
3. Lachi Molalala               97.3%
...
19. Kim Taehyung            83%
20. Park Jimin                    82%
...
"Tae-Taehyung," I turned to Taehyung who looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Eighty-three," he mumbled and I got up in case he fainted from seeing his marks.
"He defeated me," Jimin said and he was also equally shocked as Taehyung. Tae was a guy who used to fail and now, he was in 19th rank.
"Ju-Jung-Jungkook?" he grabbed my hand and he looked at me with shocked and joy-filled eyes, "This is not a dream, right?"
I smiled and said, "It is not a dream. It is reality."
"I-I..." he took deep breaths and smiled, "I GOT 19TH POSITION!"
We all screamed and yelled with joy. Exams were over, marks had been released and now...
"Let us go for camping!"
"Oh look at this person," Jin pointed to a name which was at the complete bottom.
198. Loser No. 3               8%
199. Loser No. 2               7%
200. Akuma Reverie       5%
"How can people get so low?" Jin asked me.
"If they don't study and do some other shit, then obviously they will fail," I said and he nodded.
"So sad. They won't be able to go for the camping trip," Jin said.
"Camping trip?" Taehyung asked us.
"Yeah. After exam, the school promised us that they will take us for camping. But it is only for those who have gotten more than 70%," I said and his eyes twinkled at me.
"That means, I can go?" he asked and I nodded. He suddenly squealed with joy and ran around the house. I laughed when he slipped on the carpet and fell face first on the floor. What is Taehyung without having him fall?
Luckily he was still living and his nose hadn't broken. For the next two hours we partied hard and after that I threw them all out since I needed peace and quiet for some time. I saw Taehyung napping on the couch and I slowly made my way to his side.
Angelic. That is one word to describe him. His soft features really made him look like an angel. Locks of brown hair that covered his forehead, long curly eyelashes, beautiful pink lips and his perfect nose that survived a million falls. We got to give that nose respect.
He suddenly hummed and turned to the other side. I smiled and poked his cheek to wake him up.
"Oyy! Taehyung! Get up!" I called out to him but he didn't budge a bit.
"Taehyung! Fairy Tail released a new episode." No movement.
"Taehyung! Anime is going to be banned forever!" No response. OMG! How the heck am I supposed to wake him up? Pour ice cold water on him? Nope, he will catch a cold. Wait...
"Taehyung," I leaned closer to his ear and blew on his ears. He hummed and smiled, but he didn't wake up, "Taehyung. I am going to elope with Zeref if you don't wake up."
Suddenly I don't know what happened, but I was on the ground and I groaned in pain.
"Lay one finger on my Zeref and I will chop off all your fingers," he snarled at me and I sighed. Ouch! My head pains.
"I am not going to marry that guy. I said that so that you would wake up and go to back to your place," I got up and he stared at me.
"My place?" he asked me and I nodded, "Huh?"
"Don't you want to tell your parents about your amazing achievement?"

TAEHYUNG'S POV
Oh! I completely forgot about my parents. Shit!
"LET'S GO!" I yelled and ran out of the house with Jungkook following me from behind. I got in the car and so did. We drove away and after half an hour we reached my house.
How long has it been? Almost three weeks. Shit! We were now standing in front of my door and I started to admire the scratches on it. Okay...should I knock? Should I not? Should I? Or no? I think I will come back tomorrow or maybe next week or how about after the trip or maybe—"
"Can you knock the door? I am freezing out here," Jungkook said. Oh damn! I completely forgot about him. I raised my hand to knock, but suddenly the door opened and at the entrance stood my father who was pretty much shocked to see me.
"Well, hello there," my dad smiled and opened the door wide enough to let us in. Did he say that to Jungkook or me?
"I told you it was Taehyung," my mom came from the kitchen and put her hands on her hips, "I have good sense of smell unlike you." Smell? She could smell me? Is my armpits stinking so much?
"So why did you come—JUNGKOOK!" my mom yelled and ran to hug him. Yeah. Yeah. I am pretty used to this special treatment, "Oh dearie! You looks so exhausted from writing those exams, but you still look like a powerful man in there. Did you eat your food on time? Did you miss me a lot?"
"I did eat my food right on time and I missed your food a lot Mrs. Kim," Jungkook smiled at her and I rolled my eyes. Might as well get adopted by another family and let Jungkook have my family.
"Aww! Baby Jungkook misses my food," she cooed and I personally, wanted to puke on her face.
"He missed your food, not you," my father said and I stifled a laugh. RIP dad, you are going to die now.
"He didn't say he missed you," she replied back and I saw dad look away. Our mom is too savage for us to handle.
"Uhmm...mom...I need to say something. I—"
"Oh your marks. I am going to get my tea and then you talk," she interrupted me and left to the kitchen to brew some tea.
"Why does she need tea?" Jungkook asked me and both, I and my dad, sighed.
"It calms her down. That's why she always drinks tea when I tell her my marks."
"Oh. I see."
My parents sat on the couch and so did Jungkook. I was standing in front of them and looking at them nervously. My hands were shivering and my legs felt like jelly. My mom took her tea cup and held it in her hands.
"Spill it out," my mom said and she began to drink from her cup. Here we go.
"I got 83%," I said and as I expected, they were shocked. Okay maybe too shocked for life. My mom spat the tea from her mouth at my dad while he got a nice bath with tea and a bit of saliva and what-not. Jungkook was trying his best not to burst out laughing when he saw my mom's and dad's reaction.
"WHAT?" my mom coughed and I repeated what I just. She took a huge gulp of her tea and banged her cup on the table, resulting a tiny crack at the bottom of the cup.
"That is just...unbelievable," she mumbled and my dad nodded as he wiped the tea off of his face with his handkerchief, "Show me the proof."
I gave her my phone and she opened the link and gasped. My dad peeked behind her shoulder and unlike my mother who was pretty much surprised, he was delighted.
"I knew it!" my dad yelled and jumped off of the couch, "My son is not dumb. He was hiding his real powers until now."
I slightly chuckled and I looked at my mom who seemed to have become paralyzed from the shock.
"Cong-Congratulations, Taehyung," she said and for the first time in my whole worthless life she smiled. Like actually! It wasn't the 'I-will-take-you-to-the-doctor-to-dissect-you' or the 'I-will-sell-you' or the witchy smile. It was a loving smile and it showed me how proud and happy she was of me. I could feel the tears urging to burst out, but I couldn't bring myself to cry in front of them. I have to hold it back.
"One question," my dad said and we looked at him, "Why the heck did you turn to my side and spat on my face?"
"I did not want the carpet to get dirty, so your face was the only option." He sighed and looked away. It's okay dad. I can feel you.
We didn't stay for long since we had to travel early in the morning to the camp place. So we quickly said our goodbyes and walked out of the house. We chose to walk for some time so that we can digest the food which mom stuffed into our stomach without our permissions.
"Ah! It is so cool. Don't you think the same?" Jungkook asked me, but I was too deep in my thoughts. I was still stuck in the moment she smiled at me. It might fade away, but the love I felt from that smile, it will stay in my heart forever.
"Hey. Did you turn into a zombie?" Jungkook asked me and I snapped out of my thoughts.
"I am pretty much alive," I glared at him and he sighed.
"The alien is back."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, your majesty." We turned silent again and the only noise we could hear where the shuffling of our shoes in the pavement of the quiet neighborhood.
"Your mom," Jungkook suddenly said and I looked up at him, "I have never seen her smile like that. You must be delighted to know that she was happy because of you."
I nodded and I could feel the heavy lump in my throat. I tried to swallow it down, but it just wouldn't go away. I couldn't control anymore and I surrendered to the tears which ran out of my eyes and trickled down my cheek. I sobbed quietly and Jungkook around and his eyes grew wide with shock.
"Tae. You are—"
Before I could let him complete, I hugged him. I don't know why, but I needed a shoulder to cry on right now and I couldn't do this alone.
"I am sorry," I murmered and he hugged me back.
"Don't be sorry. Cry all you want. After all, I am your boyfriend," he said and I smiled. He ran his hand through my hair and patted my back. He was warm and cozy unlike me who was cold and icy. I buried my face in his chest and inhaled that familiar scent. This was nice. I wanted this hug to last longer. This was the day when I saw my mom smile for the first time and at the same time, the knotted feeling in myself undid itself a little
