CHAPTER 2 | EVERYTHING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE

The footsteps echoed in the foyer along with the light giggles coming straight through the dining area, Taehyung's eyebrows crumpled before they went back to normal as he took a glance at his father who was dining with the special guests sitting along with him in the dining chairs laughing at the joke cracked by one of the guests.

Crossing the lavish chandelier hung on the atrium of the lounge, Taehyung discerned the lass sitting just next to his father, Mr. Kim Nam-gil. "Not again..." Taehyung muttered to himself when all the eyes were directed towards him just as he entered the dining area.

"Oh, Taehyung! You are late." Mr. Kim said as Taehyung retorted, "But I am here." He smiled mildly at his father which his father reciprocated while the lass stood up from her chair, "Well, I guess you have been busy shooting your new project." Taehyung nodded with a smile on his pressed lips.

"It will be on air soon, Ms. Emma." Taehyung declared shaking his hand with Emma and her father who was standing just beside her, "How are you, Mr. Lee?" Taehyung asked, standing across the dining table. "I am all good. Mr. Kim and I are going to start our project together soon." Mr. Lee, Emma's father answered.

"I hope it goes well." Taehyung said as Mr. Kim swiftly declared, "Taehyung, have a seat." Without a second though, Taehyung took a seat just across Emma while the butler served the dishes to Taehyung while Mr. Kim continued eating his unfinished plate.

"Taehyung, you know, Emma just came back from her London trip." Mr. Kim declared as Taehyung took a glance at his father, knowing very well where this whole thing was going but he still let it pass, "I hope you had a great trip." Taehyung declared looking at Emma while she grinned ear to ear, "Of course, I did. One of the best trips I had. You should have also joined me-"

Taehyung interrupted Emma just in time, "Well, I don't have much time for all these things and moreover I don't like trips." He finished as he took a bite of his steak. Emma nodded with an 'o' shaped mouth while Mr. Kim looked at him with his side eyes.

Settling over the couches in the lounge with the teacups in the hands of each ones they heard Mr. Kim, "Taehyung, why don't you and Emma both take a round of the back garden while me and Mr. Lee, talk about business. I know how boring business talks can be for you." Taehyung took a glance at his father and then at Emma.

Not trying to be rude, Taehyung nodded in one go, "Okay, Dad." Placing his cup on the end table, Taehyung raised his feet off the couch while Emma did the same, Taehyung escorted her, "After you." He muttered as Emma stepped in the backyard followed by Taehyung.

Ambeling gradually under the moonlight surrounded by the flowers, plants and tiny trees they both walked in serenity under the murky night sky with the twinkling stars spreaded along the sky.

Gazing at the sky he discerned the half moon, the only shimmering thing in the sky making his world lit, "Everything reminds me of her." He took in a deep breath when he heard another voice other than his.

"You like the moon, right?" Emma asked standing beside him, "Hmm." Taehyung hummed, "I love the moon because it reminds me of her everytime I look at it, shining bright in the sky." Licking his lips Emma threw another question at him, "I think you don't like speaking much." Taehyung chuckled, "And I think, you like to." Emma giggled at his answer while Taehyung continued looking at the moon.

"I guess I asked the wrong question." Taehyung shook his head, "No, I answered it in the wrong way and I am sorry for that." Emma shook her head, "That's fine after all we are going to get married soon." The words reached Taehyung's eardrums as he halted his movements in its place.

Parting his lips he turned towards Emma, "What did you say?" Taehyung asked as she smiled, "We are going to get married. That's the business deal our father's were talking about." Taehyung could feel his heart pounding inside his ribcage while his palms curled up in fists and the only thing he could see was red.

The veins on his neck were bulging out while he was trying his very best to get a control of his rahe building inside him, "I think you are mistaken but I am not-" His words were interrupted by the male voice coming from the other side, "Emma, Let's go." Emma looked behind her while Taehyung closed his eyes in rage.

"We will meet soon, Taehyung. Good night for today." Emma declared as she bowed before leaving him alone under the dark sky with the seething of the unexpressed words which were desperate to come out of his mouth and heart, "You did the wrong thing, Dad." He gritted his teeth as he watched Emma and her father disappear out of his sight.

"Do you like him?" Mr. Lee asked as Emma looked at him, "He is different from others and I want him." Mr. Lee chuckled, "You will get what you want." He declared as they both bid their goodbye to Mr. Kim while Taehyung entered the lounge as the father and daughter left the mansion.

"Why did you do it, Dad?" Taehyung gritted his teeth as Mr. Kim turned around, discerning a frustrated with a hissy fit. Tilting his head, Mr. Kim looked at him befuddled but soon his orbs turned typical, making Taehyung's blood boil.

"Did she tell you?" Mr. Kim asked, letting out a sigh while Taehyung glared at him furiously. "I did not expect something like this from you." Taehyung raised his voice while Mr. Kim looked at him with his eyebrows raised, "Then what do you want me to do?-" Mr. Kim asked but Taehyung interrupted, striding towards his father.

"I already told you, I am not gonna get married." Taehyung declared, staring in his father's eyes which were expressionless yet Taehyung orbs described his sorrow, regret and rage at that jiffy but his father didn't feel guilt within. "And you think I am gonna let you do so?" Raising one of his eyebrows, Mr. Kim asked his son which made him further furious.

"I am not gonna marry anyone." Taehyung declared again, trying to settle down his racing heartbeat while his father said otherwise, "You will marry her." Mr. Kim glared at Taehyung but he put a blind eye to it and a deaf ear to his father's words.

"No, I am not." Growling at his father, Taehyung's chest heaved up and down while Mr. Kim howled, "You will. You don't have any choice! This deal is profitable to us!" Taehyung could feel his veins bulging out while his fisted knuckles turned pale by each passing second.

"You don't have to lie to yourself. This deal will only be profitable to you. Only you. You have always been selfish and always will be!" Taehyung howled at the brim of his orbs glistening, "Just shut it! Think whatever you want. You will marry Emma. If it is for us or only for me." Nam-gil declared while propping his hands over his flanks.

Letting out a scoff, Taehyung hindered his mouth with the back of his hand before he closed his eyes in frustration, "You think you can compel me into this beneficial marriage. I am not gonna let you." Taehyung said, confidently.

"Oh, really! Nobody is gonna stop me. I have already made an official announcement about it, my son." Nam-gil whispered the last part, making Taehyung's eyes widen as he furrowed his eyebrows while glaring at his father.

"What did you do?" Taehyung asked again to reassure himself of his father's deeds. Rolling his eyes at Taehyung, Mr. Kim took a step towards him before he raised his hand to place it over Taehyung's nape as Taehyung looked into his father's eyes, astonished.

"You will marry Emma. I will make sure you do. I have already let you do whatever you wanted till now but now, I won't." Pressing Taehyung's nape with his palm, Nam-gil swiftly turned around before grabbing the remote of the sizable led tv and switching on the television.

Switching through the channels while Taehyung glared at his father's back but twitched his eyes back at the screen when he heard his name through the television. As if this was not enough, Mr. Kim turned the volume of the television and they both heard the news reporter.

"Actor Kim Taehyung is getting married to Emma who is the daughter of the business tycoon, Mr. Lee Jang-hyuk. The official announcement was made this evening which no one knew about." Taehyung heard the reporter as he eventually took a few steps towards the screen placed on the wooden console as he got a hold of the flower vase placed at the center table.

"The fans are taken aback by surprise that the world's most handsome man is going to get married in just two months. Congratulations to the-" Hurling the vase on the bright screen of the television with the force as the screen went blank within a screen, breaking just from the spot the vase had splashed while the minute pieces of glass shattered all over the marble floor.

Taehyung's chest bobbed up and down with heavy breathings while Mr. Kim closed his eyes at the scene, "What the hell, Taehyung?" Taehyung and Mr. Kim heard another voice from the foyer but Taehyung knew who just came in to intervene, "Not now, Jin Hyung. This time he is wrong and I am not gonna take this shit." Taehyung announced without taking a glance at Seokjin who just sprinted inside the lounge while his father turned around to take a look at his elder son.

"I am not gonna marry Emma." Taehyung declared once again the sentence which had been getting ignored since the start of his argument as Seokjin looked at him with crumpled eyebrows, "You will, Taehyung. The company needs it and there is no way you are turning your back to it." Mr. Kim said while Seokjin placed his palm over Taehyung's shoulder, "Calm down, Taehyung."

Shrugging Seokjin's hand off his shoulder, Taehyung turned to his elder brother, "I should calm down, Hmm? The blunder he has made without even my acknowledgement, you want me to calm down." Mr. Kim let out a scoff as Seokjin said, "You shouldn't have done that, Dad."

Taehyung propped his hands over his flanks as he heard his father, "I did what I Think was right and now he will also do what I think is right. You couldn't be the CEO of the company but at least you can help the company with this marriage." Saying this, Mr. Kim made his way up to his room leaving the two brother's alone.

"Taehyung, calm down. And think what are you gonna do now." Seokjin said as Taehyung took a glance at him with his ruddy orbs while his lower lip trembled, "I don't..." Taehyung took a breath before continuing, "I don't want to marry." Throwing his head back, he tried to take control over his quavering voice.

Biting his lower lip, Taehyung looked at Seokjin, "I don't think I can marry anyone. I just can't. I can't love anyone other than her." Taehyung stammered with his quavering voice yet didn't let any tear slide down from his eyes. Seokjin looked at him with pity as he once again placed his palm over Taehyung's shoulder.

"Move on, Taehyung. She is not with you anymore. It has been four years." Seokjin muttered as he gazed at Taehyung shimmering orbs under the amber rays of the chandelier when a lone tear gushed down his left eye, "I can't. I can't get over her. Everything seems impossible because she is not with me anymore."

"Everyday, I have fallen in love with you thousands times more than the previous day and will continue to love you more every passing second of my life, Y/n. I miss you. I want you. I need you, Y/n."
