Taehyung arrived home with a gulp he opened the door slowly, the living room lights so dark he could not see anything. Clekk lights on "where have you been?" kim's father's voice surprised her
"a.. father a. I" Taehyung replied in stammering words
"dad I'm sorry, I asked my brother to come with me to play outside, I've not invited me home since but I still want to play outside, I'm sorry I should have asked my father for permission first" jungkook's voice behind the door suddenly startled the two
"you worry me, you clean yourself up soon, you'll be waiting at dinner table" Kim's father said
Jungkook and Taehyung go to their room "what are you doing Jungkook? where are you from?" taehyung asked Jungkook
"i'm worried because you haven't come home yet, so I'm waiting for you outside" Jungkook replied
"but where's the big brother from? why is my sister just coming home? did something happen to my sister?" ask Jungkook
"sister was tutoring English as usual" said Taehyung lying
"sister was your tutor calling because you didn't come, I said you weren't feeling well, so where did you go? are you looking for....." Jungkook did not continue his words
"i went to play saxophone on the street" Taehyung replied briefly
"really? are you back playing saxophone? I want to hear it too brother" whined Jungkook
"no, so I accidentally played saxophone on the street because I had to help someone" Taehyung was silent for a moment considering what he did was so impressive for him.
"can you keep this a secret? hmmm I mean, only the two of us know" Taehyung asked jungkook.
"of course" Jungkook answered quickly
"thank you Jungkook" Taehyung stroked Jungkook's head affectionately
Taehyung and Jungkook finished cleaning and then immediately approached his father at the dinner table, the three of them had dinner together with laughter.
After eating Taehyung went into the room to study, while Jungkook seemed exhausted after waiting for his brother all day outside the house. Taehyung studied late into the night even though he felt tired, because he felt guilty Taehyung contacted his English tutor, Taehyung apologized and asked that the lessons he missed today be emailed so he could keep working on it.
After doing his job Taehyung went to the back to get drinking water, his father's working light was still on, Taehyung brought two glasses of water to his father's office.
tok... Taehyung knocked on his father's office door and opened it
his father looked at Taehyung who came with a tray containing two glasses of water in his hand "Taehyung you haven't slept?" ask the father
Taehyung put a tray containing two glasses of water on his father's desk "father has worked hard, you have to drink a lot" said Taehyung while thrusting a glass of water on his father, who was not involved in his work, his father received the glass and drank it until the toilet "thank you"
Taehyung nodded, he looked a little uneasy looking at his working father
his father, who was aware of Taehyung's anxiety, asked "what's wrong?"
Taehyung took a deep breath then ventured to talk to his father "forgive me father" Taehyung paused for a moment then continued to speak "sorry I lied to dad, Jungkook didn't ask me to accompany him to play, I'm the one who was negligent, so he continued,I didn't go to English as usual, I'm sorry dad" Taehyung lowered his head
"did you know I don't like being lied to?" kim's father asked under pressure
"forgive me dad, I was wrong" Taehyung just lowered his head and repeatedly apologized
"where have you been all day?" search for Kim's father
"when I got home from school, I saw a busking in the street, I just wanted to see it for a while but I...." Taehyung stopped his words
"are you going to disappoint me?" kim's father asked again
"no father, forgive me, I promise I won't be like that anymore father, I won't let you down" Taehyung replied as he held back his tears
"then why are you lying? you even brought your sister Jungkook with you to lie to me?" ask dad bertubi
"in the end you let me down" Kim's father said, turning his face away from Taehyung
"go away" Kim's father said
"father forgive me, give me a chance father I promise will not let you down again" Taehyung said
Kim's father just silently watched Taehyung plead with him then said "real men never renege on his promise and real men never cry"
Taehyung quickly wiped away his tears "I promise you, father, forgive me"
Kim's father got up from his seat and rushed to his room to lock the door.
Taehyung finally gave up persuading his father then went to his room, Taehyung gently stroked Jungkook's hair that was sleeping fast until he also fell asleep.
The next day everyone gathered at the dinner table for breakfast. The morning looked very quiet, Jungkook felt strange with the attitude of his father and brother.
Jungkook muttered in his heart "did something happen last night between father and brother? was my sister found out?" with lips full Jungkook shook his head
Taehyung who saw him asked Jungkook "why? is the food bad?"
"tasty" jungkook replied as he nodded
"are you thinking of something? don't think too hard" Kim's father told Jungkook
Taehyung turned to Kim's father with questions in his head, Kim's father again spoke to Jungkook "nothing happened between your father and brother, eat a lot so that you grow up quickly,don't you want to be a great boxer?"
Jungkook was surprised to hear his father say, How can his father read his mind?
Taehyung was relieved by his father's words.
After breakfast Kim's father goes to the office while Jungkook and Taehyung go to school respectively.
Piloted school Jimin was waiting for Taehyung anxiously, while Taehyung walked leisurely past Jimin just like that
"Taehyung I'm sorry, did something happen to you? did your father punish you?" ask Jimin
"no" Taehyung replied briefly as he continued walking
"Taehyung I'm really sorry" persuaded Jimin who felt guilty towards Taehyung
Taehyung did not reply, they went to the class in silence, and when he was in the classroom they were immediately surprised by the applause from the rest of the class as if welcoming the arrival of the two.
Taehyung and Jimin who looked confused at each other, Jimin who initially embraced Taehyung immediately let go of his embrace because he thought the rest of the class was clapping because of their closeness.
One of the students approached the two "very good Taehyung, besides being handsome, rich, smart you are also good at playing saxophone" the student told Taehyung.
Taehyung squinted his eyes wonder where his friends knew he was playing the saxophone? did any of them watch it yesterday?
The other students approached them and showed them a video of Taehyung busking on the street "why are you really great, I envy you Taehyung"
Taehyung's eyes immediately looked up at the video "where did you get this video?" tanya Taehyung was curious
"ah this is very popular on the internet now" replied the student
Unbelieving Jimin opens his phone and sees a video of Taehyung's tranding, Jimin is very proud of his best friend but he is also afraid that Taehyung will get in trouble because of the video because Jimin knows Taehyung very well and his family, especially his father.
Taehyung and Jimin just fell silent not responding to anything his classmates were talking about.
