Forty four
Taehyung slowly opened his eyes now aware of the fact that he was wrapped around a pair of sturdy arms. Instantly, memory of yesterday came back to him and he found himself blushing hard.
Seriously, it hadn't even reached a week and he had sprouted those words from his mouth.
I think I'm falling in love with you
Then that kiss which had shaken him to his very core and the victorious look in Jimin's eyes. He was so embarrassed. Half of him wishes he hadn't given in so easily while the other half is relieved. He no longer feels that anger which was all consuming, making him go crazy. He feels calmer, more at peace like he is right where he belongs now, with Jimin.
He slowly turned around to face the older man. Jimin's arms slowly fell from his body as Taehyung faced him watching his beautiful sleeping face, his full lips slightly open as he took in calm slow breaths.
Taehyung unconsciously traced his fingers all over the outlines of the others face thinking, wondering how this man could captivate him like this. Why he feels so complete with him.
Jimin suddenly pouted in his sleep and Taehyung laughed thinking to himself how cute he is when he suddenly realized he was really hungry. His stamach was rumbling, begging for food so he started to leave when he felt Jimin pull him closer, wrapping his arms tightly around him so his face was inches away from his and their lips so close to each other.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jimin whispered still with his eyes closed. Taehyung found his raspy morning voice quite sexy and smiled a little bit before frowning.
"I just want to get something to eat..."
"Please stay just a bit more" Jimin muttered in a pleading voice. He slowly opened his eyes locking gaze with Taehyung whose heart was beating fast just by the look in his eyes.
"I was almost giving up hope Tae. I didn't think I was ever going to hold you in my arms again but here you are"
He smiled and Taehyung lowered his gaze unable to say another word.
Jimin continued. "Thanks for what you said Tae. You have no idea what it meant to me"
Taehyung smiled but then his face fell. "It's true Jimin. I'm falling in love with you again. When I'm with you, I remember those times when we where in the island, in the village, the feelings I get when you look at me, when you care for me. I couldn't ignore them....
"Also I'm sorry for giving you a hard time. I said hurtful words to you and I treated you horribly. I just...."
"It's okay Tae... "
But Taehyung shook his head "It's not okay Jimin because even though we love each other, we can't just run away into the sunset and live happily ever after"
Jimin sat up on bed staring at him with a thinking look before smiling brightly.
"What if we do?"
Taehyung gazed at him, sitting upright.
"What?"
"Look, I know I used to be against us running away together. The reason was because you where hit by the love cupid and you weren't really thinking straight but now, I think we should do it. I think we should run away, leave everything behind. Let our families deal with their shit all on their own"
Taehyung looked at Jimin trying to consider his words. In other for his motive to sink in, Jimin continued.
"Going back to our families isn't an option right now and if you think about it, they are going to separate us the minute we go back and your father is going to make you marry Jisoo"
Jimin took Taehyung's hand looking desperately into his eyes.
"I can't loose you again Tae. This is our only chance. Let's leave and never come back. Our friends will eventually understand"
Taehyung found reasoning in what Jimin was saying. Their parents hated each other and it's not like if they returned, they would be welcomed with open arms. He definitely knows what his father will do to him once he returns and he was in no way ready to take the punishments Kim Taejun was bound to inflict on him. There was only one solution and it was right in front of him now.
He nodded his head. "Okay!"
"Okay?"
"Let's do this!"
Jimin grabbed him closer kissing him roughly and passionately. Everything felt so right. All the pain, hurt and heartbreaks they suffered seemed to wash away by this single act. Taehyung could remember it all now, the madness that comes with loving Jimin, the thrill, the ecstasy. He could feel it all over again. Feel it all the way to his bones. There was no hiding from it any longer. It was deep inside of him. Maybe it had always been there even before the love cupid. He couldn't tell but all he knew was that he had never been happy until that day he almost kissed Jimin in his room more than ten years ago.
The door flung open.
"Oh my God!" Hoseok yelled causing the two to break apart blushing furiously.
"I knew it. It was only a matter of time" Yoongi said not looking surprised at all.
All their friends entered with mixed emotions on their faces.
"What's happening here? Are you two like back together or something?" Namjoon said.
Jimin and Taehyung looked at each other and Jimin decided to announce it.
"We had quite the talk yesterday and now Tae told me he loves me"
They all gasped looking quite shocked.
"For real? Without the love cupid?" Jin said.
Taehyung shook his head. "Yes, without the love cupid."
He and Jimin looked at each other and everyone began to feel that thirdweel emotions they normally got whenever they were around the couple.
"Yes...Jimin really is something and it hasn't even been a week yet"
Yoongi shook his head "You both are just fools in love. I really have no words. Somehow, I knew you both will find your way back to each other love cupid or not"
He looked at the others and they nodded in agreement bearing all their teeth in full view.
"No more awkwardness. It was so hard dealing with it..." Hoseok said dramatically and once again, the others nodded in agreement.
Yoongi continued "I'm very happy for you two but we have to get back to reality here. I'm sure you are both aware of the war your parents are fighting"
"Yeah...and so we decided we have had enough of their shit so we are running away!" Jimin said
"What?"
The two nodded. "I think we'll take the evening flight to Japan this night" Jimin said and Taehyung nodded in aggreable silence.
Seeing the confused look on their faces, Jimin sighed.
"I'm sick and tired of being held down by my parents. I know you might feel like we are being selfish but this thing between our parents runs deeper than us. The animosity has been there even before we where born"
Jimin stared at their friends. "Your families are partaking in that war because they want to gain something from our families and not because of any sort of friendship. We have to stick together and let go of them"
Taehyung sighed. "Ever since I can remember, I have never felt happiness. I grew up learning how to be cold, tricky and calculating until I got hit by a love cupid which is insane but somehow it opened my eyes. I can't live my life in fear anymore... "
"So please guys, we need your support here"
"You've got mine" Hoseok whispered smiling sheepishly. He looked at Yoongi and eyed him. The latter nodded gravely.
"Okay...you have my support"
"Me too!" Namjoon joined wearing a sunny smile on his face.
"I'm just glad Taehyung isn't treating my Chim like trash anymore so okay, you have my support" Jin added
"Hyung!" Jimin shouted and everyone burst out laughing.
Namjoon looked at them "So you two will stay married...."
Jimin held Taehyung's hand stroking it lightly.
"That we will..."
"That's good but now you two need to get your asses off the bed and come down for breakfast. We'll be leaving soon after we have eaten" Jin said.
"I'm going to start booking a flight to Japan!" Jimin said climbing out from bed and grabbing his phone. Taehyung also got down and Jimin held him by the waist.
"Are you alright Tae?" he whispered looking at him with so much love in his eyes.
Taehyung blushed fiercely. He hated how Jimin could make him flustered just by his stare.
"I'm fine" he whispered.
They all went downstairs for breakfast. They talked a lot before Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi and Hoseok where ready to leave for Daegu that morning.
They hugged each other before Jimin took the four to town so they could catch a bus to Daegu. Before evening, Jimin had already bought their plane tickets. The plane was leaving at eight pm.
"Wait for me Tae, let me pick up some things from Hani's for our travel. Then I'll be back" Jimin said that evening.
"Okay, I'll pack before you return" Taehyung said.
Jimin stopped in front of him and hugged him tight before brushing their lips together.
"I love you Kim Taehyung"
"I love you Park Jimin!"
Jimin was so happy, he was all smiles as he left the house but when he returned thirty minutes later, there was a strange aura settling around the place.
"Tae....Taehyungsshi...."
No reply. He walked past the living room towards the dining room when he saw Taehyung sitting there with a lifeless look in his eyes.
"Tae...Baby, are you alright?"
The latter didn't respond. Jimin moved further to touch him when he froze as he spotted the divorce paper lying right in front of Taehyung with a pen beside it.
He shuddered slightly staring from Taehyung to the paper.
"Tae... What's this?"
"It's the divorce paper...." He started with a straight face "I want you to sign it!"
Jimin stared back at the younger. This wasn't happening.
Thanks for reading this chapter.....Till the next time. Have an eventful day everyone!
