Chapter 81
You started feeling a tiny bit of nervousness as Taehyung parked his car in front of his house, in which from the last time you were over you hadn't the best of memories. Even though they weren't exactly bad either as at that night you had discovered his deep love about his brother and how hurt he really was inside. That night you had taken a glimpse of his perspective.
He stepped out of the vehicle as silent as he was in all the road to his house and you followed him till the front door, that he unlocked and made way for you to enter in first.
"Please talk. You are making me feel uncomfortable with your silence. You usually don't shut up even when i want you to." You told him as you stepped inside, finding his behavior too much to bare while only the two of you like this, alone.
"It's because i don't know where to start from. I keep thinking and thinking." He replied with a thin smile that was obvious that meant only to reassure you, besides being forced like that onto his lips.
"Take a seat. I will be right back." He stepped up the stairs as he said so, leaving you behind in a now familiar place that after a minute of staying in place, you paced down the corridor heading to the big spacious living room.
This place is clean. Wonder who cleaned it up for him.
Was all you thought as you sat down on the couch, somehow having become a habit checking every place you went around for specs of dust or any unclean surfaces.
I hate him. I am thinking like a maid. Aghh
You wined in your mind, blaming Jimin for all this, as you laid your head back.
"Comfortable already? I thought you were nervous." Taehyung's voice startled you and made you sit back straight, as you looked at your side, seeing him approaching.
He had changed clothes to some more comfortable, a gray oversized hoody and black sweatpants, a boxy smile on his lips as he teased you. He took a seat beside you and stretched his arms, before letting the side of his body lean on the couch, comfortably.
"So?" You asked blinking a few times as you were observing him and obviously waiting for him to say something. He had brought you here to talk after all.
"Can you break up with my brother please?" He asked, his gaze pleading and cute as if he was trying to cutely convince you to say yes.
"Firstly, do you hear yourself? And secondly, acting cute won't change anything but make me cringe." You cut it off seriously, finding the subject to important to be taken lightly.
He sighed as he looked away, ruffling his hair from the back towards the front, somehow looking frustrated with the situation.
" Look. Can't you see we have a problem here. I am supposed to make sure he won't have a successful relationship with anyone and if that anyone is you, how am i supposed to do that? I feel as if you did it on purpose to corner me." He was avoiding to look at you as he admitted some of his feelings, indeed finding the situation unfair towards him.
Taehyung had grew to consider you as a friend and he had made a start to a relationship with your best friend Sira. He had thought that Jimin wouldn't get in any relationship so soon but it seems he was wrong and now he feels trapped, between the bitterness of seeing him happy and his feelings towards you and Sira whom he doesn't intend to betray actually.
"Why feel like that. It's in your hand to free yourself. Just give up on wanting to hurt him Taehyung." You told him knowing well what you were asking of him wasn't easy. Actually it might be more than hard. It might be too painful for him and you understand that.
You had thought about it, how would you feel if you were in his shoes?Loving someone for the first time in your life, and getting betrayed by her with the person you trusted the most in life, as Jimin was for him. Indeed being mad would be too little to say. Being hurt would be too little to feel. However he didn't know the whole part of it, neither Jimin did, and nor you do completely. That was their problem. What had brought them to all this years to not have made any progress. Each closed in themselves, baring their own scars, flaws and blames, not even once sitting down and sharing with each other. They lacked communication.
"You don't understand. No one does." Was all he said as he rested his head back on the couch, his eyes staring at the ceiling.
You stayed silent for a moment before you laid your head back too, directed towards him so you could be facing him.
"Talk to me. I swear it will stay between us and i will try to understand. You know that no one can understand anything if you never explain anything." Your words took a while to sink in his head as he closed his eyes and turned to face you, his gaze already displaying sadness.
" I betrayed my father for her. My father whom i loved and love so much. There was no moment that I didn't thought badly of myself when i realized i liked her. How much i hated myself for it. I thought I was the most terrible person on earth, worth of the most horrible death. "Taehyung started talking, his words slowly making you heavy hearted but at the same time make you think that Jimin must have felt the same or even worse because he didn't only liked her. He had touched her, loved her , way before his father got to marry her. Or so you had assumed, recalling the photo album you had found on his library.
Jimin had more than planned his whole life with that woman, he called her his happiness. Who knows truly how he felt when that crumbled before him.
"I became depressed.. I started harming myself."Taehyung's words woke you up from your small trip that your thoughts got into for a moment, fear striking inside you instantly at the thought of harm.
You had went through that once. When you had met Sira long time ago, she was a girl that grew up closed in between four walls because of her health condition. As you had gotten closer you had found out that she had tried to harm herself many times, thinking that it was no point in living if she was to never be able to live a normal life. She was desperate back then and whatever you would say or do couldn't get her up. So instead of trying to be her hero, you laid down with her, kept her company and watched over her as she stood up little by little by herself. Because that's what friends do. If they can't pull you up at least they shouldn't leave you alone on the ground.
You grabbed his hand as he paused talking and you knew well it was hard, you saw his Adam apple going up and down as he gulped hardly his saliva, his memories running clear in his head.
"Jimin found me one day. I was at my mother's work room. Curled at the corner of the piano she used to play. I had made a cut at my chest, at the side of my heart and it was bleeding, still it didn't represent how my heart was bleeding inside." He stood straight as he continued talking, his hand however didn't retrieve from yours even though he wasn't holding on to it, just letting you hold it as you please.
" He cried that night, he hugged me and said it was going to be okay. He said it wasn't my fault. He said that i shouldn't hate myself just because i loved. Who could condemn me for loving?" He laughed as he said the last sentence, his hand leaving your as he retrieved it and brought it to his forehead, rubbing it gently.
And all you did was go silent at all this information that was heartbreaking and sad because he had failed to notice that Jimin's words that day were what he wanted someone to tell him, to free him from his guilt and burden that he silently was carrying. He that day did for Taehyung what no one did for him.
"I trusted him. He said that i had him no matter what. That we would get over this together. He lied. All he wanted was to just take me away from her so he could make a move himself. He lied." His voice broke at the end making him stand up. You could see his back rising and falling rapidly, indicating that his breathing was messed up so you quickly stood up and stepped before him, his head immediately turning at the side, not wanting to let you look at his eyes.
"I am so sorry you had to go through this. Truly but you shouldn't jump to assumptions. He might have not done it for that. There must have been so many other reasons. And you can never know if you don't sit and talk about this with him." You moved your head, trying to catch his eyes as you talked to him, however he kept moving till he finally turned his back on you.
" That's all i had to tell you. You now know how i feel. You know how much your relationship with him is an obstacle for me. If you continue being with him then I will take it as if you don't care about my feelings and as thus you aren't my friend. Because you will be pushing me to hurt you, Sira and myself while I will hurt him. "He spoke, his voice dark as he stepped away, turning to face you once he got at a good distance from you.
" Choose wisely Y/N. Stay with him and destroy us all. Or destroy only him. Your choice. "He concluded as he locked eyes with you, showing the determination of how serious he was, thing that made you speechless and just a mere observant as he left the room, leaving you alone with your thoughts.
