Eight

Taehyung threw his white suit onto his couch thinking very hard. Something was bothering him. He was sure he had seen the face of Jimin's boyfriend somewhere before. But where? The memory was too hazy so he shook his head wanting not to bother himself but he couldn't help it. He was bothered.

He had actually questioned Jimin's sexuality the first time they met but now he just confirmed his suspicion. He had searched the internet about Jimin's personal life. He didn't have a boyfriend according to Wikipedia. So the reason why it wasn't listed there was because they hadn't announced their relationship officially.  He didn't want to care about it but he found himself caring a lot more than he liked. He felt a burning sensation in his heart when Jimin and Yoongi where cozying up together. He didn't like Yoongi the minute he set his eyes on him. He was like a rival. But a rival for what? Jimin?

He laughed to himself. That was crazy. He only wanted to play with him. Use him to add a little spark in his life. He wasn't interested in him nor was he interested in his boyfriend. He didn't care. He was only interested in having his own fun.

"Sir?" Jungkook's voice called out to him he turned his head to look at him. The latter smiled.

"You seem to be in a good mood today sir"

"Oh i am" Taehyung said smiling fully before getting up.

"I'm hungry. Get me something to eat"

"Right away sir" Jungkook said and skipped off.

Taehyung had a refreshing bath before eating his evening meal which was prepared by Jungkook then finally went to bed.

But in a few hours, he woke up sweating, panting and screaming his head off. Jungkook instantly rushed into his room with a cup of water and some pills. He sat beside Taehyung and quickly shoved the pills into his mouth then made him gulp down the water immediately.

Slowly, Taehyung began to relax after taking the medication but his breathing was still heavy. Jungkook tapped his back softly.

"You had a nightmare?"

Taehyung nodded without saying a word.

"You where doing so well this past week. I'm worried" Jungkook whispered.

"I'm fine Jungkook. Thank you but you can go to your room now" Taehyung said keeping his face away from him.

Jungkook nodded his head. "Okay sir but please try getting some rest"

Taehyung simply nodded and waited until Jungkook had left his room before revealing his shaking hand. He cried silently in frustration. When was all these going to end?

It was a bright sunny weekend. One of those rare days when Park Jimin could just rest at home and try to be a good Dad to his son. The fashion show was a success and he had more contracts now and was twice richer than he had been before. He would start preparing for work tomorrow but for now, he wanted to be home. Now that Taehyung was back, he felt a need to do better with his parenting skills.

Ahjumma Doo min was preparing breakfast when Jimin entered.

"Let me!" He said.

The old woman looked at him surprisingly. "Are you sure?" she said.

Jimin nodded his head. "Let me make breakfast for my son"

Doo min smiled and walked away leaving Jimin to take care of the food. He wasn't much of a cook but he was able to make some toasts and fresh orange juice. After he was done, he set the table and called out to Mintae who was sitting in front of the big TV screen watching cartoons. The boy rushed towards him with a goofy smile on his face reminding him much of Taehyung. He shook his head. He didn't want to think about that Jerk.

Jimin called Doo min to sit with them. At first the old woman was hesitant because he was her boss but Jimin just smiled.

"You are family to me now Halmeoni"

Doo min smiled. "It seems you are in a good mood today sir"

Jimin beamed. "I really am. I made a lot of money yesterday and my show was successful. What's there not to be happy about"

Doo min smiled and finally sat down beside him. They began to eat together.

"Appa, you made all these?" Mintae said.

Jimin nodded. "Yes, especially the orange juice. You should drink yours all up for vitamins. Vitamins are really good for you" He said filling Mintae's plastic cup with juice. He took a gulp and smacked his lips enjoying the taste. Doo min silently watched them with a warm smile.

Jimin hadn't dug into his food yet when his cell phone began to ring continuously. He groaned in frustration and picked it up only to see it was an unknown number.

After sighing, he answered the call.

"Hello?" He said.

"Hi there Mr Park, hope you haven't forgotten about me so soon!"

Jimin sprung out of his seat so quickly and dashed away from the table. Once he had put some distance between himself and the others, he could speak freely.

"Why are you calling me? How did you get my number" He dragged.

"I have my ways. I hope you haven't forgotten about our deal?"

Jimin scoffed. "Are you still doing that?" he rolled his eyes. "You've got to be kidding"

Taehyung's voice sounded rough all of a sudden. "Mr Park, I'm not playing around here. I need you to meet me at the address I'm going to send to your phone"

"You can't force me to do what you want Kim Taehyung"

Taehyung laughed softly. "Then I'll have to come to you then!"

It was like he had a heart attack at that moment.

"No No... Don't come here" He shouted but then he relaxed a bit. "Besides, you won't be able to find out where I live"

Taehyung laughed loudly. It was a sinister laughter that made him super nervous.

"Listen Jimin, I was able to find out about you and your debts in just a single day. Trust me, finding out where you live will be a peace of cake"

Jimin couldn't believe this was happening right now. Taehyung couldn't find out where he lived. It wouldn't be good for him. He could easily find out the truth. At that moment, he thought of running away but not now, he had to deal with this issue first.

He sighed in defeat. "okay, where do i meet you?"

He heard his ex chuckle. "That's a good boy"

Jimin felt so irritated. He didn't know how he could stand this but he willed himself to. The line at the other end went off and in a few seconds, he received a text message from Taehyung. It was the address of where they where going to meet.

With slow strides, he made his way back to the table where Mintae and Ahjumma Doo min where still eating. He was supposed to spend the day with Mintae but everything was ruined all because of Taehyung.

He cleared his throat to gain their attention and they looked at him.

"em... I have to go"

Doo min was shocked. "Go where? You have an off day today"

"It's just i got a call and....

Mintae climbed down from his chair and ran off. Jimin watched him leave. He knew he was upset. He looked back at Doo min who silently encouraged him so he went after him and found him in his room tossing his ball up and down. Jimin stood at the edge of the door for a while before walking him. Mintae didn't look at him as he sat beside him.

"I'm sorry son" he whispered.

Mintae stopped tossing the ball and looked back at him.

"I thought you where going to stay. You're never home. I wanted us to go out together but.... "

Jimin hesitated a bit before stroking his shoulder.

"Appa has things to do"

Mintae shrugged. "But why can't I go out? I have never gone out to play. You've never taken me anywhere. I'm always stuck here and then you're not always home"

Jimin gulped. "I'm sorry Mintae but it's for your own good. I'm trying to protect you"

His son pouted. "But i don't feel protected"

Jimin sighed. He didn't know how to explain to Mintae that he was a secret child, that the whole world didn't know of his existence and it was better for the both of them.

"I'll make it up to you. What do you want me to get for you when i return?"

Mintae didn't reply. Jimin just hugged him tightly and kissed his head. He knew that once Mintae was in that head space, there was no getting out of it much like someone he knew. He stood up and left the room.

He met Doo min in front of the door.

"Please take care of Mintae" he whispered in a broken voice.

Doo min nodded. "As always!" She peered at him. "But where are you going?"

"To take care of a pest" Jimin simply answered and he was gone.
