No. Maybe? Yes! (TAEKOOK)

Chapter Twenty Two.

Taehyung was oddly restless tonight.

He tossed and rolled and even counted uncountable sheeps in his mind to get some sleep but he just couldn't.

From the moment they finished dinner, he knew something was odd. He didn't feel awkward and uncomfortable, no. But he just felt that something had shifted in the air but when he looked towards his world, he seemed quite natural so he didn't overthink anymore.

But now that he is trying to sleep for the last two hours, he just cannot when he has this constant nagging feeling inside him that something is going to happen. Something bad.

He huffed and then switched on the lamp beside his bed and sat up sighing. If he can't sleep then he'll just go and eat some strawberries or snacks from the fridge. He nodded his head and wore his fluffy slippers and slowly opened the door, making sure not to make much noise.

His room was right next to Jeongguk as per his own wish and demand. He knew Jeongguk's ears were always perked up and in alert towards Taehyung's room. If Jeongguk heard him getting out of the room now, he would create havoc.

Taehyung slowly closed the door behind him and took a slow step out when he saw Namjoon standing near Jeongguk's gate with a small smile on his face.

"Joo?" Taehyung's worried voice made Namjoon flinch a little but he immediately walked towards Tae and asked him to get inside the room as he followed behind.

"What's going on? Why are you still awake and what were you doing in front of Gukkie's room?" Taehyung questioned in one breath as Namjoon sighed and sat down on Taehyung's bed.

"Tae, we all know." Namjoon spoke almost inaudibly as Taehyung looked at him with confused eyes.

"You all know what?" Taehyung couldn't help but question as Namjoon inhaled a deep breath, closing his eyes.

"We all know about your love, Tae." Namjoon said as Taehyung gasped loudly as he stumbled a little on his step and halted back.

"W-What? H-How?" Taehyung questioned as Namjoon shook his head.

"It doesn't matter how we know but what matters is your Jinnie is furious and he did something he never ever had imagined he would do in his entire life." Namjoon said as Taehyung widened his eyes.

"W-What did Jinnie do? Is he o-okay?" Taehyung questioned as his eyebrows creased due to immense worry.

"He raised his hand on Guk." Namjoon said as Taehyung gasped loudly as felt the back of his eyes brimming with hot tears.

"W-Why? B-Because of m-me?" Tae asked as Namjoon simply looked away from his big, round, questioning eyes.

Now that Namjoon looks into Taehyung's big eyes, he can't help but go back to the day when he first saw these big eyes. They were always this innocent, curious and round. Namjoon when first saw him, knew he would be a brat and he wouldn't listen to anyone in the mansion but slowly while Taehyung started growing up in front of him, he realised that the boy wasn't a brat but was a boy who was a bit different but a lot deprived of love. That day he had promised himself that he would give this boy, his son everything that his heart desires. He would take care of him, love him and protect him from any harm or danger.

Now sitting here after Taehyung has finally grown up to be a big man, who has even fallen in love already, he wonders, what went wrong? Because from the way he is seeing the whole situation, he couldn't help but think that the only harm, danger or hindrance in his son's path of happiness and joy is themselves.

"Tae, my sweetheart, my understanding boy, do you really love Guk?" Namjoon questioned as Taehyung slowly saw his nervous stance breaking and a stern atmosphere surrounding him.
