Four
"I can't believe this!" Taehyung cursed loudly as he flung his jacket onto the couch the minute he entered his living room.
"I have never been treated in such a manner before in my life" He said through gritted teeth. A young man not much younger ran up to him with a pensive look on his face.
"Sir, are you alright?" he asked then stopped and stared at his shirt.
"What happened to your shirt?" he asked.
"Nothing Jungkook" Taehyung whispered. He was obviously in a foul mood as he pulled off the shirt from his upper body revealing his naked chest. Jungkook gulped uncomfortably.
"Take it and burn it" Taehyung said in a sharp tone handing him the shirt.
Jungkook stared at him through wide eyes. "Are you sure sir?"
Taehyung frowned hard "Didn't you hear me Kookie? Burn that shirt!" he yelled.
"Okay sir!" Jungkook said and hurried out of the house with the shirt in his hands. He returned moments later to find his boss sitting on the couch stretching out his legs. Nobody needed to tell him that Taehyung was in a bad mood.
"Sir, I've burnt the shirt " he whispered but Taehyung didn't say a word.
"Sir?" he whispered again.
Taehyung groaned tiredly then took a deep breath before turning to him.
"What is it?"
Jungkook sighed. "You seem to be in a bad mood today. Should i set up a hot bath for you, would you like some chamomile tea?"
Taehyung shook his head. "None of that tea Kookie but you can run me that bath. I need to clear my head and try not to think about today"
"What happened today sir?"
Taehyung stared daggers at him. "Don't you think you're been too nosy? Just make the hot bath now will you?"
Jungkook nodded. "Of course sir"
He went to do as he was ordered and within a few minutes, the hot water was ready for Taehyung. As he dipped himself in the water, he felt better but his mind kept wandering back to his encounter with Park Jimin earlier today. When he had first opened the door of his office that afternoon, the first thing he saw was those brown piercing eyes and he felt something prick his heart. He felt like he had met Jimin before, somewhere but the latter was right. Someone like him was unforgettable because no doubt, he was very attractive and a really sassy fellow possessing quite an attitude too, an attitude that had shaken and interested him. He was the first person who wasn't intimidated by him since he got back to the country. The first who stood up to him. The first client to challenge him over the broken contract and the first to ever pour something, anything at all on him.
"Damn, who is this man?" he whispered to himself determined to find out everything there was to know about Park Jimin so after finishing up with his bath, he dressed in his robes and went to his study. He switched on his laptop ready to do some research. Immediately he typed his name, several information came up. His education, awards and achievements where all posted on the internet. Taehyung was quite flustered when he discovered he had attended the same school and read Economics, the exact same course his ex had studied. Funnily enough, they shared the same surname. Park!
However, little was known about his private life but Taehyung came across an article that had him thinking. The article wrote that Jimin was originally a woman. When he saw it, his heart pumped more blood than normal but there was really no evidence it was true. There was no old photo of him on the internet. Nobody was there as witness to his transitioning. He worked under an alias till four years ago when he was suddenly thrown into the limelight. Apart from this, his entire life was a secret. Nobody knew who his real family was or where he really lived.
No doubt, this was fuelling Taehyung's interest. It had been so long since he had any interest in anyone or anything but there was something about Jimin that really attracted him and it wasn't because he spilled wine on him. It wasn't that. It was something else. Something else he couldn't quite put his finger on.
When Jimin returned to his pent house, he was exhausted and the only thing he wanted to do was sink into his bed and sleep off. He opened the door and was met with darkness. He sighed and switched on the light. His eyes landed on the toys and books littered on the ground of the living room. He sighed heavily as he looked to the couch where a round fat woman lay snoring heavily
Rolling his eyes, he kicked the woman on the leg and she jolted up from sleep wiping the drool from her mouth. Her eyes were also deep red as she stared at him sleepily.
"Sir, you're back" she said tiredly.
"Ahjumma Doo min, Why is this place looking so messy? I thought I told you that I don't like seeing toys littered everywhere" he said with a frown.
"I'm sorry sir. There was a lot to do today and Mintae was so hyper after winning an award at school"
"He was the smartest in his school" the old woman went on.
Jimin remembered. His son had an award today and he had completely forgotten about it. He hadn't even listed it in his schedule. He sighed regretfully.
"Oh.. Okay. Where is he?" he whispered.
"He's asleep now sir"
Jimin nodded. No doubt he was a very bad parent. All he ever did was work work work with little or no time to spend with his child. He had never tried to bond with the child because of what happened to him ten years ago. The thought of being pregnant and raising a baby devastated him. He wasn't prepared to be a parent which was why he was doing a poor job of raising him now.
He took another breath. "Do clean up a little and sleep in your room"
Doo min nodded. "Will you like some dinner?"
"No, I'm not hungry. I'll just head straight to bed" he said.
The older woman nodded and began clearing up the room while Jimin went up the stairs to his bedroom. Normally, he went straight to bed after coming back from work but today, he stopped in front of his son's room where the boy was sleeping. He walked slowly to the bed and sat on the edge. Jimin smiled softly when he looked at his face, his dark curly hair covering one part of his eye. He looked so much like his father. Knowing Taehyung was back in his life put him on edge, making his uneasy. What if he discovered about his true identity and about their son. He would definitely take Mintae away from him. He admitted he was a bad parent but he couldn't imagine Taehyung having Mintae. It would tear him apart. Mintae was the only thing he had after his parents abandoned and disowned him the minute he had come out to them. He was his entire world. Even though, he failed to show it, he loved him more than anything in the entire universe and would fight tooth and nail to protect him from everyone even his own father. He gently brushed his long bangs away from his eyes and stood up when his phone began to ring. He answered it quickly so it wouldn't wake the boy.
"Hello!"
"Darling...."
Jimin huffed. He recognized the voice of his boyfriend Min Yoongi.
"Hey babe, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it for dinner. I thought I was going to but something came up...."
"It's okay. I know. I called your office and your assistant told me everything"
Jimin sighed in relief because he wasn't going to have to explain himself.
"Anyway Jimin if there's anything I can do to help just let me know"
Jimin smiled. "Thanks babe. I really appreciate it but I'll take care of it myself"
Jimin paused before talking again. "Babe, there's something I have to tell you..." he stopped himself. "But I'll tell you tomorrow. You'll come for the show right?".
He was meaning to tell him about the reappearance of his ex Taehyung but now wasn't the right time. Tomorrow would be much better.
Yoongi chuckled. "Won't miss it for the world. I hope you solve this shoe problem"
Jimin laughed. "Who am i Yoon? I always overcome all my obstacles you know me" he said even though deep inside, he wasn't that sure this time around.
"Lots of kisses love. You go to sleep Jimin. I'm sure you must be very tired"
Jimin smiled to himself. "Thank you Yoongi...for everything!" he whispered.
He heard his laughter over the phone. "You shouldn't thank me for anything. See you tomorrow love" he said and hung up. They never said I love you to each other. It was all because of Jimin. Even though they had been dating each other for quite some time now, he still couldn't bring himself to give Yoongi his all even though he was so cool and understanding with him.
Jimin took one last look at his sleeping son before leaving the room. He had calls to make this night if he was going to save his face as tomorrow's fashion show.
Thanks for reading. Love you all.
