• Station 5 • | Taegguk

•Ch3•

When Taehyung woke up the next morning he felt something. Something weird. Soon enough he realised that he wasn't lying on the park bench anymore. The thing he was lying on felt more like a.. bed? Carefully he sat up and let his eyes roam through his surroundings.

The room definitely didn't look like some basement where you would lock your targets in, in short: he was probably not kidnapped.
To be honest the room really looked like a casual bedroom of a young couple. Everything decorated in white and pastel blue.

Taehyung glanced at the nightstand to his left and saw a picture of two men, the one giving the other one a kiss on the cheek. They were both, in Taehyung's opinion, extremely handsome.
Then he noticed that the pillows had a print.
The print on one pillow said K.Sj and the other one said K.Nj.

Since Taehyung didn't have a clue how the hell he got into the bedroom of a random couple, he stood up and wanted to exit the bedroom when the door swung open just in front of him.
There stood a man, awkwardly looking at Taehyung and then calling for somebody who's name seemed to be 'Jinnie'.

Then a second man appeared. They both didn't look like danger to Taehyung but Jeongguk didn't look like danger as well and see what happened: he shouted at him like there was no tomorrow and then kicked him out. Still Taehyung couldn't be mad at him. Nobody ever wanted to keep him. And besides that it was Jeongguk's home. Not Taehyung's.

So when Jinnie was about to speak up, Taehyung made steps backwards, fell onto the floor and already covered his ears with his palms since he still wasn't ready for another shouting.

But the shouting never came. Taehyung was relieved but also curious why there was no yelling. He raised his head and looked with fear in his eyes at the two men, who were still standing in the doorframe, cause you never know. Maybe he really was kidnapped.

The man who opened the door looked at Taehyung with pity but also a frown plastered on his face.
And Jinnie looked at Taehyung as if he was about to cry, so much sadness was visible in the eyes of the young man.

"W-who are you?" Taehyung made the first move with all the courage he had.

"I am Kim Seokjin and this is my husband Kim Namjoon," Jinnie, now Seokjin, said with a soft voice. Taehyung wondered why Jinnie looked like he was about to cry but forgot about that after a second immediately.

"A-and why am I here?"

Now Namjoon spoke up.
"Yesterday, around 11 pm we found you on a park bench and Jinn- Seokjin insisted to take you with us since you were extremely cold, even though you had a coat covering you, when we found you."
Taehyung couldn't miss to notice how deep Namjoon's voice was.

But then realisation hit him. When they found me around 11 pm then who was that shadow at 8 pm? And where did that coat come from?

"Uhm.. may I see that coat you were talking about?"

"Uh sure hold on," Namjoon said before disappearing.

Moments passed and since it seemed like Namjoon had problems with finding the coat, Seokjin decided to say something.

"I-I.. I don't want to offend you but why were you reacting so frightened when I was about to speak up? Or no, you know what, just forget it. It's probably something personal. Why am I always so annyoing? I shouldn't-"

Taehyung interrupted Seokjin's rambling.
"It's okay really," he said calmly, "but yeah you're right. It is something quite personal but I can see that you didn't mean it bad." Taehyung smiled at Seokjin to make sure he wouldn't worry too much about him.
Seokjin couldn't miss the fragile boy's box smile and also couldn't help but smile slightly back.

Taehyung's brain started trying to process thr information he had and tried to put the pieces together.
Who was that shadow?
Why did it came towards me?
Did I only hallucinate something?
And if I wasn't and that really was someone, did this person give me that coat?
And if they did, why wou-

"May I ask what's your name and why exactly you were sleeping on that park bench?"
Taehyung's pondering was interrupted by Seokjin.
Seokjin knew he was probably asking too many questions but his curiousity got the best of him.

"I am Kim Taehyung and uhm... I-I'm kind of homeless," Taehyung answered with his head lowered to the floor, on which he was still sitting, biting his lip in the movement.

"Oh no! A boy your age shouldn't have to live with the struggle of being homeless. We would love to give you a home but actually I don't thinks here's enough space for three people. But hold on.. I think I might know somebody who could keep you!"

"I don't really know..." Taehyung said a bit unsure about the offer. Not only would he step randomly into someone's life but also doesn't he know the person he would live with.

Their conversation was interrupted when Namjoon came in with the, somehow familiar to Taehyung, black coat. Soon the odd familiar feeling was explained when Taehyung took the coat and looked if there was a name written in it. And Taehyung indeed did find something.

There was written down...
