Ω 12. FIRE
Jimin's
"He look like a pig. I'm better than him." I mumbled. I clicked my tongue and dropped my phone on the bed. I already have a bad morning because of Seokjin and Taehyung's photo posted on their Instagram account. It was Seokjin's candid photo while talking with Jisoo. Seokjin was smiling so wide and Jisoo was giving him a cup of something — probably coffee. I am irritated! Why the hell are they still acting sweet! Is the lie I did not enough!? What the fuck!
I swear I saw Taehyung got mad on the café right after telling him that Seokjin might be cheating on him. How the hell can they pretend to be sweet and post stuffs like this on the Internet!? I am expecting them to file a divorce anytime soon. Or Seokjin calling me that Taehyung broke up with him. Why is the tables turning? I sighed. I took my phone again and decided to call Seokjin. His phone rang and on the third ring, he answered.
"Hello Jimin!" He greeted cheerfully. I cleared my throat so I can hide my pissed off tone towards him.
"Hi, Jin! I missed you! Can I go to your house?" I asked him with my most friendly tune but if one would see me now, I am actually rolling my eyes.
"Of course! Eat lunch here. I miss you bestie!" He said. I hung up the call and prepared to go to their house. I don't know what step should I do next to tear that relationship apart. I need a more concrete and elaborate plan. I need to formulate something that would trigger Seokjin and leave him. Or, better yet, I'll do something to make Taehyung lose interest in Seokjin. I think that would be better. It's easier to lure Taehyung because he is more emotional. He tends to base his actions on the things he feels.
I smirked.
"I will get Taehyung soon enough. Just wait Seokjin." I chuckled to myself and went to my car. On the way, I was only thinking how to plot against the two. If only I can make Taehyung fuck me and Seokjin would see it, then it's done. I was busy thinking about a lot of things and I accidentally stepped on the accelerator without paying enough attention to the road in front of me.
"Fuck!" I screamed when I realized that I was going on full speed and a person was crossing the street. I stepped on the brake but it didn't give any much help because I still bumped that person. I just wish that he's still alive.
I stopped the car and quickly ran to him. He was already lying on the ground. I observed him and I didn't saw a pool of blood. Thank goodness! I rushed to his side to help him.
"Jungkookie!?" I exclaimed when I saw the man's face. It was Jungkook! He was now sitting on the road. A little wound on his head and he was wincing with one hand on his side, the part where my car bumped him. "Oh my god! Let's go to the hospital! Can you stand up? Should I call an ambulance?"
"No ... No ... Just drive me to the hospital. I can stand. Oh fuck!" He said as he limp trying to gather all his strength to remain standing. "What are you even thinking? Are you blind?"
I bit my lower lip. "I'm sorry. I'm just having a lot to think about." I reasoned out to him. I assisted him and we drove to the hospital. I can hear him gasp from pain Everytime he moves. I felt so sorry to him. I didn't mean to cause anyone harm.
We reached the hospital and the doctors gave him treatment. They advised him to stay for a day so he can get observed of there was no internal bleeding or any fractured bones. I thanked the doctor and went to Jungkook's room. I also brought him some fruits. I don't know any of his family members so I don't know who to call.
I opened the door and I saw him laying on the bed with closed eyes. I sat on the visitor's chair. "Jungkook? Are you awake?" I tried asking him. He hummed as a response.
"Who in your family shall I call? They need to know that you got i to an accident so they can take care of you." I explained to him. He was not new to me so I can call him my friend, definitely. We studied together in the US but after that we slowly drifted apart. We used to be very great friends but something changed to him one day and he became aloof.
"I have no one, you know that." He said. I bit my lower lip and nodded. Oh yes, I forgot. Their Aunt in Daegu was his only family. The one we gave a celebration to before he died a year ago. The reason why Taehyung found me last last year.
"I'm sorry." I apologized. "So, who's gonna take care of you now? You need to have someone here."
"Why don't you take care of me instead?" He asked and then grinned. "Just like what you did before." He mumbled the last part but I clearly heard it. I was stoned in place.
"Wh-what?"
"Take care of me again, baby." He said again with closed eyes and grinned. I gulped down hard.

Seokjin's
"Jimin can't make it. He had an emergency." I said as I put down the phone. I pouted. Too bad I wanted to see Jimin. I want to apologize, well, not apologize, I just wanted to test the waters. I wanted to know if he's still "mad" at me or if he still has any other heavy feelings towards me.
"Ahhh, thank god! I don't have to deal with snakes." I heard Jisoo said. I glared at her.
"Shut up. He's my best friend." I spat at her. She giggled and took a sip from her tea. The three of us are in the living room just chilling and catching up when Jimin called saying that he can't come for lunch.
"Your best friend who wants to have a piece of my brother. Yeah, best friend. Now, tell me J, if he's your best friend, then what am I? I am more than your definition of best." She asked in a challenging tone. I rolled my eyes at her. I'm not telling her that she's also my best friend. She might feel entitled.
"You're a stranger." I said. I heard Taehyung chuckled beside me. I moved closer to his side. I leaned my head on his shoulder and played with my phone.
"Fine." Jisoo said. "Anyway, let's get serious for a moment. Now, both of you, I want you to just chill and relax I will handle the case against those horny bastards. I will make them pay for what they did to you, okay?" She looked at me. "I don't want Taehyung to handle this. This fucker is emotional. The court would not honor his appeals. Just let me. Everything will be okay."
I don't have any choice but to nod. The duality of this woman scares me. She can be a bitch that I can easily fight with but once she turns this serious, I can't even talk anything in front of her. I feel like she will chop my head off once I tried to say something stupid.
"Okay, sis." Taehyung said. "Thank you."
Jisoo just hummed. We talked after that and as per usual, Jisoo still insists on being my best friend. We spent the whole day just bickering. Jisoo left at 5pm. She even gave me sets of vitamins and milk. She said it's healthy for the baby. I thanked her for it. She may be tough on the inside out but her heart is really soft. Maybe she got if from her mother.
Me and Taehyung are now sitting in the garden. He just finished some of his paperworks and he is resting his eyes and brain. I gave him chicken sandwich and juice as a treat. We were sitting quietly when Taehyung spoke.
"Are you thinking of baby names, babe?" He asked as he took a bite from the sandwich I made. I looked at him and nodded.
"Yes. Actually I am. I wanted to name them like something that came from the Galaxy. Stars, constellation, galaxies and such." I explained. Not once did I dreamt about having a different name like Hephaestus or Orpheus. I wanted to have something unique and something hard to spell as my name. Though, I love my name, I just can't help to fantasize about that thought sometimes.
"Hmm, what if it's a girl?" Taehyung asked.
"I'll name her Andromeda."
"Why?"
I chuckled. "Nothing. I just like hearing it. I fine it beautiful. I can also name her Cassiopeia. What about you, if it's a boy, I'll let you decide his name."
"I will name him Apollo." I gave him a thumbs up.
"I like it." I said. "Tae, babe, you know what, I'm afraid."
"Of what?" He asked and placed his food down to give me his full attention.
"Of being a parent. I don't know if I can do it properly. What if I won't be able to raise him properly? What if I became too strict or too controlling? What if I won't become like your Mom?" I said all the thoughts in my head. "I wanted to be like her, Tae. She did a good job raising you and your brothers. I want them to grow up and be a wonderful person like you. But how can I do that? I, myself, don't have any role model when it comes to great parenting. My father left us when I was 14 and my Mom died after I went to college. I don't know what to do and now I'm worried. I don't feel like I deserve to be a Dad. On top of that, I'm not yet the best husband. I am still a work in progress. How can I do both things at the same time!?"
I felt like crying. Taehyung came to the rescue and held my hand. "Shh, don't worry, Jin. You will be a great Dad. You are the best husband already. You don't need to worry about me. And I think you're forgetting something ..."
I looked up to him. "What is it?"
"We're husbands." He said. "We do things together. We do things as a team. You have me as your partner. I will help you raise our kids." He cupped my face and squished my cheeks. He giggled and kissed me.
"It's okay to think like that. Just make sure you'll come to me for assurance." He said and winked. I chuckled and nodded. I'm so lucky to have Taehyung in my life.

Taehyung's
I put Seokjin to sleep. It's 9pm already and he needs to have a good rest for our baby. I made sure that he drank his milk before he slept cuddled him until I heard him softly snoring. He's now laying his head on my chest. I was playing with his hair while thinking about the ongoing case. I know Seokjin will win for sure but I just can't help thinking about it.
My thoughts got interrupted when my phone beeped. It was a text message coming from my Secretary. She sent me a news link. I opened it and I almost dropped my phone when I saw the headline.
"Two men found dead inside their burnt apartment."
It was short and it probably had something to do with me that's why my secretary sent it. I read the whole article and my mouth parted when I saw their names. Choi Se Sang and Kang Min Joon. I read furthermore and learned that they were trapped inside their room when the fire broke out. The fire was allegedly caused by a a short circuit. They said that the duo died because they were fast asleep when the incident happened and didn't managed to get out.
I finished reading the article. I have a gut feeling that this is not an accidental just like how they paint it to be. I called my sister.
"Hey, bro?" She greeted.
"Did you do that?" I asked her. I know she will get what I meant. I heard her chuckle menacingly on the other line.
"What are you talking about, I didn't do anything. I was just sitting here drinking my cup of tea." She said innocently but I know better than to believe her lies. She's my sister.
"Stop it. Just spill it." I commanded her.
"I did." She said. "So what? I told you to relax and I will do my job. Tae, we are rich and not everyone would agree but I don't want them to repent. I want them to go straight to hell. This is me, making them pay for what they did. I don't want to spend boring days in the court just to listen to them and their lies."
"What if Seokjin knows about it!?"
"What would he know? It's an accident. Short circuit and fire. Where does the name Jisoo appeared on that? On the smoke?" She chuckled. "Don't worry. I didn't purposely killed them. I just told my men to scare them but it turns out they're heavy sleepers. They died. Too bad, it's too early."
I sighed and dropped the call. My sister can really be a pain in the head sometimes. I know those guys deserve it. My husband went through hell just because of it. I would do the same thing if Jisoo hadn't interfered.
"Tae ..." Jin moved closer and hugged me tighter. I'll let Jisoo handle that mess. I'll just focus on my family and met this be the last case that someone would try to hurt my husband.
A/n: Hmm, thoughts?
