I Still Want You [Taekook] - Chapter 53: Chapter 53

Seoul - September 2018
No One's P.O.V
"Jungkook, come on ... What are you doing? Why are you taking so long?" Taehyung shouted from the living room, he couldn't wait for Jungkook who is getting ready.
"Wait a minute, my dear."
Soon Jungkook appeared with a casual look. Black T-shirts combined with matching colour long jacket, blue ripped jeans, Timberland, and maroon beanie.
Whereas Taehyung wears black pants, shoes with the same colour, striped shirt adorned with a red sweater on top. His appearance is completed by the blue beret he wears.
"Let's go" Jungkook holds Taehyung's hand, but is released immediately by the said male.
"There's no need to hold me in public." Said Taehyung while giving a black mask to Jungkook
"Wear it" he added
Jungkook wears his mask with a heavy heart.
"The time when we can hold hands freely in public will come soon. Wait, baby. Please be patient for a little more." he said to himself while looking at Taehyung lovingly
They both went to the hospital separately. Taehyung insists that they have to drive their own cars.
"Ah, I can't wait to meet grandma," Taehyung said hopefully as they arrived at the hospital lobby.
"Hmm. Grandma must be very surprised to see her beloved grandson-in-law come to visit" Jungkook look at Taehyung with a billion love in his eyes.
Oh, how wrong Jungkook and Taehyung are. As soon as they arrived at Grandma's room the couple is very shocked. Because in the room there is a middle-aged man with his wife, Jungkook's parents.
The husband and wife are equally surprised to see the arrival of his son with a man who had been rumoured to be his lover.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" What a rhetoric question. It's clear to see that they are here to visit grandma, who's currently went with the nurse to have some checkup.
Instead of answering his son's question, the couple looked at Taehyung with a fierce and judgemental look. They scanned the handsome man from head to toe, making Taehyung feel uncomfortable being stared like that.
Realizing the inconvenience of his lover, Jungkook immediately stood in front of Taehyung, protecting him from the gaze of his parents.
"Do you have any business here?" Ask Mr Jeon sarcastically
Jungkook tries to answer but is stopped by Taehyung.
"It's okay." He whispered
"Good evening, Mr and Mrs Jeon." Taehyung bowed slightly, giving a polite greeting
"Tch. What do you want?"
"Of course I want to visit your mother, Mrs"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you set a foot here, disgusting man"
Jungkook can't stay still seeing his mother insulting Taehyung
"Mom, stop it. What the hell are you doing."
"So you really have a relationship with this man?"
"Yes. He's my lover. Why?"
"So, all this time you've been lying to the public by saying you don't know him?"
"That is none of your business. After all, you already said that I am no longer your child, I disgraced the good name of the family. Then why are you still interfering my life?"
Jungkook felt his cheeks burning from his father's slap
"Jungkook ..." Taehyung screaming in panic. He holds Jungkook's red cheeks and stroked them gently
"I'm fine" Jungkook smiled at his lover
"Disgusting. Really disgusting. This is so disgusting. What are you doing to my child, eh? Why does my child turn disgusting like this?" Mrs jeon grabbed Taehyung's hair harshly, makes him fell backwards hard.
Jungkook tries to help his lover but Mr. jeon blocks him
"You must be the one who turns our child gay. What kind of bad influence did you give him? He was a good boy before, this must be all your fault!!!"
Taehyung tries to get up but Mrs Jeon kicks him hard right in the face.
"Taehyung"
Jungkook pushes his father's body with all his might, run to his lover who is holding his nose which is gushing fresh blood.
When Jungkook is about to help Taehyung to stand up, his hand is pushed over by him.
"Mrs Jeon, sorry to said, but you have crossed the line." Taehyung tries his best to hold back his anger. After all, this evil woman in front of him is the biological mother of his lover.
"One thing you need to know is that I never forcing anything on your child. Yes, it's true that I love him. He also loves me. But I swear, I've never asked him to fall in love with me. Maybe you don't know, but love can't be forced. "
"Tch," Mrs jeon scoffing at him.
"As a disgusting man, you are so overconfident. Do you think that you are so great that you can make my child love you? My child never loves you, you need to realise and accept that fact. Surely you have threatened him with something so he can't help but stay beside you." she added
Taehyung laughs at Jungkook's mother's words.
"You're right, Mrs, I also wonder how can someone like Jungkook love someone like me. Your son deserves someone who is far better than me. Of course, I'm aware of that. He's too great for me. He's too amazing, maybe that's why I fell in love with him. But Mrs, I swear to God, I will never threatening and holding Jungkook back to stay by my side. Moreover, forcing him to love me.
Even if one-day Jungkook decides to leave, I will be the one who's open the door for him. I will never hold him back if he wants to go. I will let him if, in the end, he falls in love with someone else."
"Then stop loving Jungkook and stay away from his life. Don't you beg for his love ever again"
"Dad" Jungkook shouted. Fortunately, Grandma's room is a VVIP room, so the scream won't disturb other patients.
"Even with all the tragedies in my life, I still love him. Do you think I can stop loving him just because you asked me to do it, sir? Maybe if you force me to, I can leave him, but sorry, I will never be able to stop loving him. You know, I have never begged for your son's love. My love for him is not that cheap."
Taehyung feels that he is not strong enough to stand up, his vision started to blur. His head s dizzy, his face hurt like a hell by the previous kick, but his heart is worse.
He held on to the end of the bed beside him. In the midst of his diminished consciousness, he still heard how Jungkook's parents said that he is disgusting and the voice of Jungkook who's shouting at his parents.
Taehyung holds Jungkook's arm, trying to get his attention. "Kook, I want to get out for a while"
"I will come out with you"
"No. You stay here. There's something we need to discuss something," said Mr. jeon
"We have nothing to talk about," Jungkook said emotionally
"Stay here. Talk nicely with them. I'm only going out for a while." Taehyung smiled
"No. I'll take you."
"Just this once, listen to me. I want to be alone, kook. Please."
Finally, reluctantly, Jungkook stayed, staring at Taehyung's figure who walked away from the room.
Taehyung is trying his best to not stagger. He doesn't want to make Jungkook worry about him. Taehyung wants to give the family a time to talk.
Taehyung knows very well that Mr and Mrs Jeon are not good persons, but they still Jungkook's parents. And no matter how much hatred Jungkook has for them, Taehyung knows for certain that Jungkook actually loves his parents.
Above all, Taehyung knows the best how painful it is to lose a parent.
Relationships between lovers can be broken, but no one can break the relationship between parents and children.
With his remaining energy, Taehyung took out his cellphone to call someone
"Hyung, I'm at the Seoul central hospital. Can you pick me up now?"
"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon." Answer the voice from the other side
Then Taehyung sends a message to his lover.
My Jeon💜
I go home first by taxi. There are a lot of works that I need to finish immediately. Just go straight to the dorm, I'll be there tonight. Send my greetings to grandma. I love you.
Taehyung hides when, shortly afterwards, he sees Jungkook running in the hallway.
"Sorry, I have to lie," Taehyung said softly when Jungkook is no longer in his vision
* * *
"Finally you come home." Jimin welcomed him as soon as Jungkook arrives at the dorm. While Jungkook just smiled a little
"Where is Taehyung? He promised today he would come to eat my food." Jin said sadly
"He will come late. Now he's finishing some work at the company"
"Hey, are you okay?" Jimin asked Jungkook who looked anxious.
"Of course, I am"
"Are you have a fight with Tae?" asked Hoseok who suddenly appeared.
"No, we aren't. Really. I just tired. I would rest for a while, wake me up when Taehyung came" he goes straight to his room.
Actually, currently, Jungkook is not okay. Since he was in the hospital he had a bad feeling. He is worried that something will happen with Taehyung.
Earlier, not long after Taehyung left, he immediately went to catch up with him, but his lover was already gone. Then he got a message from Taehyung who said that he went to the company. And that doesn't lessen Jungkook's worry at all. This worsened when until now Taehyung hasn't replied to any of his messages and he didn't even pick up his call.
* * *
A man sits on a sofa in the corner of the room. His hand looked for warmth on a mug of hot chocolate. Head resting against the wall. Eyes staring somewhere. A sad eye trying to show happiness with all the sadness that was hidden well.
"Are you okay?" Another man in the room asked him
The sitting man shook his head weakly "I'm not fine."
"Didn't I already told you that don't force on something that should have ended"
"Is that so?"
"If I let him go, will I free the two of us both?" He added
"You did succeed to get away from separation, but surely there'll be a time when you will fail."
"I know."
"just rest."
"I'll take a lot of rest later."
