Thirty two
Everything changed from that moment on. When Taehyung returned home after meeting Jimin, Kim Taejun knew that his conniving wily son whom he had painstakingly trained over the years to follow in his footsteps was back. The dangerous look he had used to possess had returned with a full force and Kim Taejun smiled in satisfaction.
"You went to see Park Jimin didn't you?" He said as Taehyung walked past him in the living room. The latter stopped and frowned.
"Park Jimin?" He breathed deeply. "I have no idea what came over me. How could I have intertwined myself with someone like him. I must have been crazy father"
"Well it's good to see that you are no longer a love struck fool" he eyed Taehyung. "Are you sure you're completely over him?"
Taehyung smiled. "Totally father, in a strange way, I feel free. Now I realize I had been locked in some kind of strange prison all these while"
Jimin must have really broken your heart so badly
Kim Taejun thought to himself. Anyway, he was glad his drama was over and he would continue where they left off.
"Go rest your self now Taehyung. You have to resume your duties in the company. Tomorrow, we shall meet with Lee pil mo and his daughter to finalise preparations for your wedding."
Despite how he was feeling about Jimin, he was hesitating marrying Jisoo but that had always been the plan from the beginning and now that he was back to his senses miraculously, he would have to go through with it.
"Of course father and I'm sorry for making you worried all these while"
He bowed and Kim Taejun nodded dismissing him with a wave of his hand. He entered his room slamming the door heavily. He was so angry and he didn't even know why. His heart was burning with rage. He looked at his image in the mirror.
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!"
"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"
"You're also epileptic. Do you know how annoying it is when I had to take care of your sick ass?
"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"
"But you agreed to marry me?"
"Oh that? I wanted to see just how far I was willing to go. It was all part of the plan you see"
"I can't believe this. You deceived me. I thought you loved me"
"Love you? "I don't love you. I hate you! I despise you. I wish you would just die"
"I don't love you Taehyung. I don't love you"
He smashed the mirror yelling out in anger. Pieces of the glass pierced into his skin causing blood to flow. Why was he even thinking about that now? Everything was over. He was done with Park Jimin. That chapter was closed now. He couldn't even understand how he could have fallen in love with him. He took off his shirt dumping it on the ground. He was going to soak himself in a hot bath but paused as soon as he laid eyes on that scar at his back. From time to time, he felt the pain but this time, it hurt more than normal and it made him remember things. He growled like a wounded beast and walked to the bathroom. He was never thinking of it again.
Park Jimin was just like a zombie when he returned home. Despite his parents trying to talk to him, he ignored them and entered into his room. He felt shallow, like an empty shell. He couldn't even cry anymore. It was like he had used up all the tears in his tear glands. He sat on the ground for what seemed like ages staring into space before he stood up, went to his drawer and brought out a razor.
He was tired of everything. He knew he could never love anyone the way he loved Taehyung. His parents wouldn't even care if he went and he wouldn't have to go through this torture all alone. Sniffing softly, he held the razor over his skin. He was just ready to slice when a hand held his own. He looked up and saw Jungkook. He looked really angry.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Let go of me"
"I won't! You want to kill yourself? Have you lost it?"
He threw the razor to the ground. Jimin looked at it heaving heavily.
"I'm tired. I don't have any will to live"
"There are people who care about you. Your friends and even your parents. Though you find that hard to believe"
Jimin rolled his eyes. "Yeah right."
"It might seem bleak right now Jimin but it gets better. I promise you"
Jimin slumped to the ground. "But I feel horrible"
Jungkook sighed and sat beside him. "It will get better Jimin"
There was silence for a while before Jimin spoke. "Why are you here Jungkook? Why are you being so nice to me?"
Jungkook looked thoughtful. "Actually, I don't know but something keeps drawing me back. Till I know what it is, I'm not going anywhere"
Jimin nodded. "Thank you Jungkook, really"
The angel smiled. "You're welcome"
The following day, Taehyung resumed work at the company again all fresh and ready. Jimin buried himself in office files trying to distract himself from thinking about suicide again. After work, Taehyung met with his father and prospective in-laws at a hotel restaurant. They stayed at the VIP section.
Jisoo crossed her legs haughtily, her nose high up in the air as they sat together.
"We would like to begin preparations for the wedding as soon as possible" Kim Taejun said.
Lee pil mo looked at them. "Are you sure about this? Because we weren't happy about what happened the last time"
Taehyung cleared his throat. "I'm really sorry for my behavior. I had just returned from being lost in an island after several weeks. I wasn't myself. I'm ready to go ahead with the arrangement now"
Lee pil mo and Jisoo looked at each other.
"Alright, we are ready to continue with the arrangement but you must apologize to my daughter first" he said.
Taehyung took a deep breath and turned to Jisoo.
"I'm really sorry for what I said to you last time. I really have no idea what was going on with me but now I'm ready to marry you"
Jisoo glared at him. "Are you sure? You're not going back on your word?"
Taehyung nodded and Jisoo instantly turned into an excited puppy.
"Oh my gosh, I can't wait to start planning for the wedding. There is so much to do. I think i have to call my friends and tell them"
She hugged her father tightly. "I'm so excited!" She squealed and stood up already dialling numbers to call on her cell phone. Her father chuckled excitedly.
"It's good to see my daughter so happy. She has been feeling down lately" he grinned at Taehyung. "I can't wait to have you as a son in law"
Taehyung smiled but it wasn't sincere. His father patted his back with an impressed smile on his lips as he and Lee pil mo engaged in a conversation.
Two days later, news articles circulated about Kim Taehyung and Lee Jisoo's wedding. When the Parks saw the news paper article, they looked towards their son's room where he had been locked up for the past two days.
"It's for the best" Mrs Park said. "Imagine having to mingle with that family" she continued in a loud voice for Jimin to hear. He did hear. He was looking at his phone screen reading the headline news announcing Taehyung's marriage. His eyes where red and swollen. His appearance haggard. His phone had been ringing non stop since the announcement was released. He knew his friends where worried. They wanted to know what was happening but he couldn't bring himself to tell them the truth. But slowly, he began to feel that all these was so unfair. He hated what had become of him because of this love cupid. He loved Taehyung. He couldn't live without him. He still wanted him despite the fact that the latter no longer loved him. He couldn't give him up, not without fighting at least. He still had one last deck left to play. They where still married. With this in mind, he stood up, went to the bathroom, washed himself and looked at his image in the mirror. He was going to make Taehyung love him again.
Thanks for reading. I didn't want Jimin to end up being such a cry baby. He's going to face his problems head on no matter how much it's going to hurt. I'm going to upload the next chapter soon but I've been a bit busy lately so bear with me. Till then, have a great day...
