Tw // Homophobic families
It was a saturday morning, and Taehyung was beyond excited on meeting the Jeons after a really long time.
He didn't even sleep last night due to the anxiety and excitement.
The last time they all met, he was 15, and the Jeon twins were 14.
This time, he was turning 19, and the Jeon twins were 18.
So Taehyung woke up extra early, took time to get dressed and look good... as his crush was coming home in a while.
His parents assumed it was for Jungha and teased him about it.
He didn't deny it and just smiled.
He didn't want their families to think otherwise anyways, it would cause unnecessary conflicts.
Especially since neither he nor Jungkook were out yet.
He had been keeping in touch with both of them through text, separately.
And Jungha assumed she was the one whom Taehyung talked to a lot but in truth, it was Jungkook whom he texted a lot more.
ㅡㅡㅡ
By the time he hears their car pulling into their driving lot, he stands by the front door behind his parents who go to open the door.
And his puppy Tannie wags his tail excitedly behind them, next to him.
Finally the door opens and the Jeons walk in with a smile, all hugging and greeting each other with big grins on their faces.
Then finally, the twins' eyes land on Taehyung.
And even though Jungkook steps forward to embrace him first, his sister pushes him and does it first.
Jungkook just stands there awkwardly, trying not to let his sadness show as Taehyung hugs Jungha back, frowning a little at Jungkook.
Then finally she pulls away, speaking.
"I missed you so much oppa!" She exclaims.
Taehyung nods.
"I missed you too." He answers back low.
Jungkook then steps forward and just gives Tae a gentle back pat, not even a full-fledged hug and Taehyung knew that he was hurt.
But he hid his expression and pretended everything was fine.
At least in front of the parents.
Jungha excitedly looks up the stairs and gasps.
"Ah your new house is so big. I wanna see your room!" She exclaims, giggling, and pulls Tae's arm upstairs.
Taehyung looks towards Jungkook who just gives him a small smile.
"You don't wanna see my room?" He asks him.
Jungkook shrugs, trying not to show his excitement that he openly wanted to hold Taehyung's hand and pull him to places and hug him without having second thoughts.
It was unfair.
He follows them both upstairs and gets surprised by what he sees.
Taehyung's room was big, really big.
And out of everything, he noticed the polaroid pictures of them on the walls.
Them from childhood.
There were lots of pictures of Taehyung with the Jeon twins.
Many more with Jungkook and Taehyung.
Only two of them with Jungha and Tae.
She notices it too and frowns.
"Why are there only two pics of us oppa?" She asks softly.
Taehyung tries to come up with something.
"Uh... I mean, I could only put up a few and these were the pics you looked the best in." He says, hoping that works.
She doesn't say much.
Jungkook though, was really happy on the inside because there were so many pictures of him and Taehyung together.
He smiled.
Because many of them were goofy, not even the best 'good-looking' pictures.
Because their bond was more important than the perfect photos.
ㅡㅡㅡ
Finally Tan-ah ends up climbing the bed in Taehyung's room and goes to Jungkook first, situating on his lap.
He gently pets the puppy, finding him so adorable.
Jungha then tries to get Tannie to sit on her lap but the dog wouldn't budge from the place.
Jungkook giggles and sticks his tongue out at his sister.
"Hehe, he likes me more than you." He says, in his childish manner.
Taehyung chuckles at that.
Jungha pouts and then suddenly throws her arms around Taehyung, catching him by surprise.
"It's fine, I have Taehyungie with me. I don't need you or Tannie." She says playfully, but it definitely has an effect on Jungkook.
He simply gulps and looks away, petting Tannie still.
"Heh, fine. I'm going to take Tannie on a walk. You guys enjoy~" He says, standing up now.
He leaves the room, carrying Tannie in his arms, and as much as Taehyung wants to call out for him, he can't do so.
Jungha smiles, and sits in front of him.
"So oppa. Tell me how it is here, I wanna know. If I ever move here for you, I need to know anyways." She laughs.
Taehyung engages in some small talk with her all while thinking about Jungkook.
He was worried that he was getting hurt and didn't even get to talk to him properly.
He later texts him when Jungha goes to the bathroom.
Jungkook does not respond nor even see the texts.
He does not come home for an hour after that, leaving everyone at home worried.
When he arrives, Jungha goes to hug him, worried, then playfully slaps him.
"Gosh, where did you go?!" She yells.
Jungkook looks at everyone confused.
"Um... I kinda lost my way." He answers truthfully.
"And you didn't even answer our texts?" Taehyung questions him, to which Jungkook just raises his phone showing him the black screen.
"It died." He answers monotonously.
Taehyung just stares at him, watching Jungkook bring Tannie inside as everyone else breathes out sighs of relief and go back to their work.
Jungha frowns, knowing that her brother never took care of himself or his things well.
"You should charge your phone fully next time."
She tells him, rolling her eyes.
ㅡㅡㅡ
After dinner, the family played a few games together and it was all fun until bedtime.
Now since the three of them won't fit into Taehyung's room, they were given the guest room downstairs.
So it was currently Taehyung, Jungkookㅡ
and Jungha between them.
She was facing Taehyung's side while the boy was scrolling through his phone for funny reels to send to Jungkook.
"Oppa, I'm not sleepy. Can we all like play something..?" She asks all pouty.
Jungkook looks up, curious too now.
She sits up, eyes shining.
"Truth or Dare!" She exclaims, grinning wide.
Taehyung sits up, he hates that game because it leads to him exposing a lot of things that he didn't need.
But oh well.
"Sure." He says, glancing at Jungkook who was behind her.
They use a spinner app on a phone to choose who asks who.
It turns to Taehyung.
"Truth or Dare?" Jungha asks.
Taehyung bites his lower lip, looking down.
"Uh truth?" He says, shrugging.
Jungha giggles and smiles.
"Okay.... have you had your first kiss?"
Tae's eyes widen because he was not expecting that question.
"Umㅡ" he begins, staring right at Jungkook who was also tense now.
"Also, we should answer truthfully, okay?" She says.
"Swear on yourself." She says.
And they agree.
But they also had the choice to not answer if they didn't want to.
"Uh... yeah." Taehyung finally answers and Jungkook gulps.
Taehyung's first kiss was with him actually.
It had happened two years ago, during their highschool dance.
No, they weren't going there together.
But when they met up secretly by the bathrooms, outside the venue... they ended up sharing their first kiss together.
Now Jungha was surprised.
She still hadn't had her first kiss, thinking it was gonna be with Taehyung.
But guess not.
"Oh." She answers.
The spinner spins again, and this time it points to Jungkook, and Taehyung is the one asking.
"Truth or Dare?" He asks softly, glancing into Jungkook's raven eyes.
"Um.. truth." He answers.
"Do you like anyone?" Taehyung asks, despite knowing.
Jungkook pouts, knowing that the boy was asking him just to tease him.
While his sister wiggled her eyebrows at his nervousness.
"Uh... yeah?" He answers.
"Who?" Jungha asks, very curious to know.
Jungkook just stares at Taehyung.
"That... I won't say."
She pouts, rolling her eyes.
"Ugh fine. At least tell me how much you like them?" She asks now.
Jungkook looks down at his lap and plays with his fingers.
