Thirty one

Jimin didn't know just how fast his heart was beating as he sat there looking at Kim Taejun.

"Like I said, I hate repeating myself" The man said. He stared deeply at him. "Did you think you could double cross me?"

Jimin couldn't talk. He was completely frozen with fear. Kim Taejun tapped his stick on the ground repeatedly.

"I have sent the pictures of you and Taehyung to your parents"

It was at that moment Jimin could talk.

"No, please no!" He pleaded.

Kim Taejun grabbed both his cheeks with one hand, squeezing them tightly, it hurt so much.

"You shut the hell up!" He pushed his head, his eyes were angry and full of contempt.

"You have no idea how much I would have loved to put a bullet into your skull. I'm only holding on because of Taehyung"

Jimin snickered. "Because of your son, I didn't think you cared"

Kim Taejun frowned. "Believe it or not, I care about my child but I'll be damned if you sink your claws into him like your father did to me"

He suddenly spat. "You look so much like him it's sickening"

Jimin looked at the older man with wet eyes before speaking again.

"Why do you hate my family so much?"

Kim Taejun became surprisingly still as he stood in one place biting his lower lip and glaring at Jimin. Finally, he spoke.

"That is not any of your concern. It concerns your father and I"

Jimin scoffed. "But it concerns both me and Taehyung because we are the ones caught in the middle of your senseless feud"

It was like Jimin poured fuel to a wood and lighted it up because Kim Taejun exploded.

"Senseless!" He growled. Kim Taejun suddenly dropped his stick and stood purposely in front of Jimin. He pointed at the scar on his face.

"Senseless? Your father did this to me!"

He tugged the left leg of his pants revealing a large ugly scar that ran from his knee to his foot.

"He also did this to me" he continued then dropped the cloth back and stood upright watching Jimin's changing expressions.

"All these wounds are a strong reminder of my hatred towards your father Park hye sun. We have fought over the years but now because of you, I'm going to finally get rid of him once and for all"

Jimin gulped. "Please don't do this"

"It all depends on you Jiminie." He frowned harshly. "Stay the hell away from my son. My potential in-law Lee pil no is not only the owner of one of the biggest companies in Korea, he's also the minister of finance. With his help, I will take over both the north and south side. I'll become the richest investor in the whole of Korea and the entire Asian continent"

He shook his head and eyed Jimin. "I'm not going to loose someone like that because of you"

"Money isn't everything..."

Kim Taejun glanced at him and laughed heavily, his voice cracking with pure evil.

"You still don't want to listen do you? You must really think I'm playing around here"

He looked at his body guards and nodded at them. "Deal with him" he murmured and immediately those heavy chested body builders descended callously on Jimin hitting and punching him till he was out of breath and badly bruised.

"Stop it!" Kim Taejun yelled. The men stopped and he snickered at Jimin's swollen and bruised face. His shirt was stained with blood and he looked like he was on the verge of passing out.

Kim Taejun grinned "Don't worry Jimin. You're not the only one getting beaten up. At this moment, my son is also paying the price for defying me"

Adrenaline shot right up Jimin's system as he looked at Kim Taejun out of one swollen eye. "Please stop it" he cried softly.

"I will, only if you agree to stay away from Taehyung"

Jimin nodded slowly due to the pain raking up his entire body.

"Okay...I will do as you say. I will break up with him"

Kim Taejun smiled in satisfaction and Jimin continued. "I will break up with him tonight. All I need is to meet up with him"

Kim Taejun nodded. "That won't be a problem. Just better keep to your word" He looked at his guards. "Release him" he ordered and one of them untied the rope. Jimin cried out softly.

"I hope this is the last time we meet because next time, you won't only be sorry, you'll be dead"

With that said, he walked away accompanied by his guards. Jimin knew this was the end. The long awaited moment was near. He wished desperately that he didn't have to do this but he had to protect his family and Taehyung.

He managed to drag himself out of that building. His car was already parked outside and the key left in the ignition. He entered and drove back home. He was in so much pain and he felt like his ribs had been severely broken. He could have just gone straight to the hospital but he had to face his parents.

When he arrived home, he slowly dragged himself into the house. The maids and the Butler wearing looks of alarm rushed towards him to hear him out but the thunderous mention of his name froze them in their tracks as Mrs Park descended the stairs and once she reached Jimin, a loud echoing slap sound filled the room.

Tears filled his eyes but he dared not cry. His mother was holding the pictures staring at him coldly.

"How could you do this to us?"

It took her a while before she noticed Jimin's state. Her eyes widened as it travelled the length of his body.

"What happened to you? Who did this to you?" She whispered.

"It must be that savage bastard Kim Taejun"

It was his father speaking as he climbed down the stairs. When he reached them, he glared at Jimin.

"Kim Taehyung? Of all the men. I specifically warned you to stay away from the Kims"

"It just happened that way Appa, we both got lost in that island together and we only had each other. In the process...."

"I don't care to know the details. Put an end to it now!" Park hye sun thundered.

Jimin hung his head. "I'm ending everything tonight. You don't have to worry"

His father frowned. "As for Kim Taejun, I'll get back at him for doing this to you"

Jimin shook his head "you don't have to father"

His father eyed him. "And why not? He has insulted me by harming you. I can't let this slide"

"I'm ending everything tonight father. You will never need to confront him"

Park hye sun looked deep in thought before turning around. "Go to your room. I'll send the doctor to tend to your wounds"

Jimin watched his parents leave together with hardened expressions on their faces and again, he wished he had never been born into this kind of family. A family that only cared about their pride and not their son.

He was waiting in his room lying on his bed when Jungkoook appeared before him.

"You're ending everything tonight?"

Jimin nodded without saying a word. Jungkook couldn't help himself. He pitied him so much and he didn't even know why.

"So today is the day"

Jimin smiled bitterly. "You'll finally have your cupid"

Jungkook couldn't say anything as he noticed Jimin wasn't in the mood for company. He sighed and disappeared.

Meanwhile Taehyung lay on his bed nursing his broken lips. When he had returned to the mansion, he was surprised to find that all the guards had ganged up to beat him per his father's orders. He had put up a good fight injuring several of them but he was only one man and they were many. They finally subdued him beating him to a pulp before finally locking him up in his room.

That night, his door opened and Jackson entered with his typical poker face. He held out his cell phone to him.

"A call for you young master"

He was confused as he collected the phone and answered the call.

"Tae..."

"Jimin? How are you babe? I missed you. You have no idea what...."

"Taehyungah, I need to see you. We need to have an urgent talk"

Taehyung paused. Something was wrong somewhere. He could feel it in Jimin's voice.

"Em...I'm tied up here. There's no way I can see you"

"Please find a way Tae...I really need to see you. Let's meet at the resort"

The call ended and Taehyung stared at his phone for quite a while before Jackson interrupted him.

"I can help you meet him"

Tae stared at him. "What?"

Jackson nodded. "I can sneak you out"

Taehyung frowned. "Why would you do that? My father will fire you if he finds out"

Jackson smiled. "Leave me to worry about that" he said. "Freshen up sir"

He left and Taehyung couldn't help feeling suspicious. Why would Jackson give him a call from Jimin? Why would he offer to sneak him out to meet Jimin. Could this be a trap?

He was confused. He freshened up eventually looking presentable before Jackson came to pick him up. No one questioned them when they left the mansion. It was like they were invincible to everyone. They arrived at the resort and Jackson said he would wait for him and that confused him even more but he was more anxious to meet Jimin and find out what he had to say. He received a text from Jimin to meet him at the roof top of the building. It was an odd place to meet but still he went.

When he got there, he saw Jimin standing there watching the night sky looking deep in thought.

"Jiminah..." He muttered and the latter turned to face him. Instantly, he saw the scars on his face.

"What happened to you?"

He started to  run towards him but Jimin backed off and right there, Taehyung could feel the tension around them. He stopped. There was something different about Jimin.

"Don't come closer Taehyung" he said sounding emotionless.

"Jimin, are you okay?"

There was silence before the older continued.

"Let's break up"

That felt like a thousand knives cuts. His chest hurt as he stared at Jimin in disbelief.

"What?"

"You heard me. I'm sick and tired of pretending to love you"

A much harder pain pierced his heart.

"Jiminah, I don't understand"

He laughed. "I don't expect you to understand you dumb epileptic"

I'm sorry Taehyungie

Taehyung clutched his heart. He couldn't believe a single word coming out of Jimin's mouth. This felt like a dream in fact a terrible nightmare but the way he looked at him. It felt so real"

"Being with you, letting you touch me has being nothing but torture. I hated every single moment of it. All those times, the only thing I ever wanted to do was strangle you"

Taehyung shook his head, tears falling down his face. "I don't believe you"

Jimin walked towards him. "You're so pathetic. Have you ever asked yourself how I fell for you so easily? I only did that to get revenge and to make my parents proud"

It's not true. I fell for you because you proved to me how much you loved me when you took that bullet for me and showed me that beautiful scenery

"You're also epileptic. Do you know how annoying it is when I had to take care of your sick ass?

I was never annoyed when I had to take care of you. I want to take care of you forever"

"To me everything we ever shared was a lie. A lie which has finally come to an end. I can't bear to spend one more moment with you. It angered me so much that I had to go through all that shit from your father because of you"

Taehyung stared at Jimin. He felt so weak and his heart was bleeding.

"But you agreed to marry me?"

Jimin scoffed. "Oh that? I wanted to see just how far I was willing to go. It was all part of the plan you see"

Taehyung's lips quivered. "I can't believe this. You deceived me. I thought you loved me"

"Love you?" Jimin raised his eyebrows. "I don't love you. I hate you! I despise you. I wish you would just die"

I love you. I love you more than my life. If ever your time comes, don't leave me alone, take me with you "

"I don't love you Taehyung. I don't love you"

I love you

Taehyung finally slumped to the ground looking totally motionless.  Jimin knelt beside him watching him as he let himself be overcome by pain.

You're going to hate me Taehyung. You're going to hurt me but I'll accept it all because I love you and if the universe will see my pain and pity me, I know you'll find your way back to me some day "

Jimin couldn't see but the cupid had disappeared from Taehyung's chest and floated back to Jungkook's outstretched hand. The latter held it till it disappeared and he looked back at the two curiously.

Jimin sobbed silently holding onto Taehyung when the latter opened his eyes.

"What happened?" He whispered.

"Taehyungah, are you okay?"

But Taehyung pushed him away and stood up rapidly.

"What's happening? What are you doing here with me Jimin?"

He ran a hand over his hair. "Why the hell am I here?"

He glared at him and Jimin could see he was different. The look of love had vanished replaced by that look of contempt typical of the real Kim Taehyung.

"What the hell? What did you do to me? Did you drug me or something?" He shouted.

Jimin couldn't say a word. Taehyung pointed at him. "You just stay the hell away from me Park Jimin. You hear me?"

He stumbled around looking lost before he finally left the roof top. Jimin burst into tears. It was over. All over. Their relationship was gone and very soon, their marriage. Jungkook appeared beside him.

"What do you want? This is all your fault. You've gotten your cupid back. Go return to heaven" Jimin barked. Jungkook just looked at him quietly as he cried. Slowly, he lent his shoulder and Jimin placed his head on it crying profusely. He knew this was going to be a long night. Jimin was right. His work was done. It was time to go back home. But still, he couldn't help but feel that he has some unfinished business left to do.

We are finally here. To be continued next chapter
