Chapter 36
Sira scanned the place of the Cafe that she had entered, that was near the university.
One of her friends had informed her that she had seen Taehyung there and she had decided to come and pass this break time with him as an attempt to get closer with him.
She walked up to the counter and ordered her food and her drink then looked again around her this time finding him, seated at the far back corner, at a table next to the window.
He seemed to be paying no attention to his surroundings but just looking outside at the busy people that were passing by.
After she took the tray with her order and made her payment, Sira gathered up her courage and decided to approach him.
Taehyung gave a surprise look at Sira as she suddenly appeared in front of him with the same smile as always in her lips.
"Wait, I -" He spoke, ready to tell her that he wanted to stay alone but he cut his sentence as she had already sat down.
"What's up?" She greeted him cheerfully and he just lowered his gaze to his food that he had yet to touch, before he responded.
"Nothing much." His answer made her smile fade as it was obvious that he was not in a good mood because he is usually way more energetic than this especially when he is around her.
"It doesn't seem like nothing to me. Are you sure everything is okay?" Sira insisted, her eyes looking at him with worry.
Taehyung lifted his gaze and met hers, instantly forcing a smile on his face, not wanting to concern her with his matters.
"Just bored to death without any plans, really. Nothing serious." He reassured her before grabbing his sandwich and taking a bite from it.
"If that's so then it's good. I have some plans for tonight though, if you want to join." Sira told him her too following his lead and taking a bite from her hamburger.
"What kind of plans?" He asked as he gulped down his food.
"Yuri and some other friends invited me to go to the new club that opened this week. You know the one with the cool name." Sira told him enthusiastically as the name was pretty much what had interested her the most from this outing that her friends had planned.
" Medusa?! You can't go there Sira." Taehyung responded to her, knowing well of that club and pretty much what happened in there.
"Chill, why not. The girls have never been there before and obviously neither have I. We thought that it would be fun." She nonchalantly answered him, ignoring the look on his face.
"That place is no normal club. There is not just dancing in there. I can't let you go alone, you hear me!" Taehyung raised his voice a little out of his worry for her and Sira just smiled at him before she spoke.
"Then come with me. I will be safe if i have you around." Her words made Taehyung suddenly freeze in place as for some reason the fact that she considered him as someone safe to be with made his heart flatter.
"Yah, of course I will come. As if I would let you go alone in such a place. You girls can't have fun without me anyways." He responded now taking a mouthful of his food angrily, thing that made Sira burst out laughing.
Her laughter was inevitable to not make him laugh too, making him make an ugly face as he had still food on his mouth, thing that extended her laughter even more.
I am glad that you are smiling.
Sira though while reaching out a handkerchief to him to clean himself up.
---Time skip---
You cought as you entered the library of the mansion from all the dust that was flowing in the atmosphere.
The heck does he want with Beauty's and the Beast's library.
You had thought observing this huge basement room that was full of books wherever you would look at.
Now it makes sense why he was being so nice. Cleaning all this is like cleaning the whole mansion itself.
I hate him.
You wined in your head while placing the bucket with the cleaning products that you had brought with you, on the floor.
You observed a little around, not sure from where to start, then a desk fell at your notice in the corner of the room, waking up your curiosity and making you approached it.
The desk as well as all the pieces of paper and folders that were on top of it were now covered in a thick layer of dust, accompanied by the little lamp on the side and the wooden chair.
This one is a start.
You had thought then immediately grabbed your cleaning products and started cleaning up this desk that seemed to be untouched for years as the rest of the room looked like.
Also Considering the smell that was around there you were sure that you were about to find many dead rats to not talk about the spiders that you happened to encounter from the first step down those rusty stairs.
As you were cleaning up the desk, opened the shelves of it one by one, getting there content out and cleaning them then carefully placing everything back as they were.
While you were doing that you happened to fall upon a shelf that seemed to not open and so you let it be, since you had no key for that. However the fact that was locked didn't failed to woken up your curiosity as to why would a shelf locked, in a room that it's door was barely noticeable from the outside. Not to mention that it was in a quite secure mansion.
You kept cleaning the other stuff but your mind couldn't move from that one specific shelf till you couldn't handle it anymore, so you decided to open it.
You were alone in here anyways and no one seemed to have stepped in her for ages, so even if Jimin would find it open you could just say that you had found it that way and he could not doubt you since there is no way that he would be one hundred percent sure that he himself had not forgotten to lock it back then.
You looked around for something that could help you achieve that however nothing much but books were around you and that was then you decided to go till the kitchen and grab a knife or a screw driver or whatever it would look helpful to open up the lock.
You return after a good fifteen minutes with some various tools, among them some rundown keys that you had found at his garage, next to the box where you had went to find the screw drivers.
Let's try out the keys first.
You thought and that's how you did trying one by one the ten keys that you had brought. Most of them didn't even fit the hole while others fit but didn't unlocked it, till you try out the eighth key and you heard the joyful sound of the lock, unlocking.
You felt as if you were in a action spy movie at that moment and you had just succeeded to open up the strong box full of diamonds and money, however the only thing that you found inside that shelf was more dusty papers.
It was fun for as long as it lasted.
You thought and you giggled while taking those papers out, thinking of cleaning them and locking it up again as it was.
After you had taken the papers out though, a book came to sight, full of dust as well yet different from the others.
You grabbed it and opened it up only to understand that it wasn't a book but a photo album that belong to non other than Jimin as his name was handwritten on the inside of the cover.
"Jimin's happy memories." You read the note out loud, your fingers tracing softly above the black ink.
Your eyes then looked at the first photo that was a family photo of him and Taehyung when they were still little kids, the one on the left and the other on the right side of a wooden chair that a woman that you hadn't seen till now, was seating at.
Mister Park, Jimin's and Taehyung's father was standing behind her, his hands placed on the woman's shoulders while she had her arms spread, hugging the kids as they were all smiling brightly at the photographer.
This must be their real mother.
You had thought before you proceeded to read the small note that was written bellow of the photo.
" I love my family."
You could easily understand that he must have been very young when he had wrote this, not only by his handwriting but also by the date that followed at the end of the page.
You couldn't help but keep scrolling down those pages, that were filled with many more photos of him and his mother, him and his brother. All photos of happiness and laughters, moments of silliness, the childhood they had spend together.
It was so sad see those pictures and remembering that those two now hate each other.
After a while the photo album had a gap of many empty pages, as if there was a period that nothing was happy in his life then that gap ended with a picture of what looked like him in his high school uniform and a girl beside him.
"His step mother!! "You murmured in surprise as you recognized her immediately, him having his arm around her while she was kissing his then puffy cheek making him smile brightly.
Just how far does this story between then goes?!
You had questioned before eagerly turning to the other page only to be met with a picture that left you speechless.
Two hands laying on a table the one next to the other, both the female hand and the male hand having a ring on their wedding fingers.
The note bellow, bringing tears to your eyes.
"A promise of love to the girl that I am gonna marry.
I love you. Ah Nee Rin."
You were now crying. Crying because you now knew well that his promise was broken along with his heart and his love was buried under this pill of dust.
