Thirty
The entire town had gotten wind of the emergency wedding between Jimin and Taehyung but no one knew the reason behind it. Many were happy about it but there were those who were pained by the news.
"You told them to get married?" Jungkook yelled after his husband had broken the bombshell to him.
Yoongi smiled smugly. "Yes and they both agreed to it. By this time tomorrow, the distance between you and Taehyung will be a lot wider"
He glanced at the saddened look on Jungkook's face and spat.
"Don't you have any shame left? Just look at you. It's so obvious what this piece of news is doing to you"
Jungkook tried to hide his emotions but it was so difficult. The thought of those two getting married made him feel like throwing up his breakfast. Yoongi's voice went on, tormenting him.
"Prepare yourself. We are going to give them a nice wedding gift. You're in charge of getting something for the soon to be newly weds"
His words went on and on and Jungkook could feel his sadistic intent. He could tell Yoongi was enjoying this very much. From nowhere, he managed to calm his emotions.
"Okay...I will do that. I will get a gift for them"
He looked at Yoongi. "But I need to leave the house to do that"
Yoongi smiled. "Please do. I won't stop you"
He seemed to be in a good mood and that was even dampening Jungkook's spirit more. He got ready and left the house. His purpose was to see his mother and speak to her. He needed to know her stance in this unfortunate situation.
But when he got to the mansion, the house was busy. Jungkook was confused as he saw that everyone was disorderly going in and out of the house. He didn't need anyone to tell him the reason.
He was standing at the front of the door looking on at the scene with a weak heart when Nanny Ji hye who was passing by caught sight of him.
"Kookie?" She chipped in and Jungkook rolled his eyes. He had never really liked the old woman. Though, she raised him and Jimin, she never hid the fact that Jimin was her favorite and all she ever did was scold him and try to change him.
She came closer giving him a bright smile.
"Did you come to congratulate your brother on his wedding?"
As if.
"No!" He said coldly. "I came to see mother. Where is she?"
Nanny Ji hye gulped. "She must be upstairs at the seating room with your father"
Jungkook ignored her and walked up the stairs. When he got to the seating room, he found his parents and Jimin laughing among themselves. He looked at his mother and noticed that her face was shining. They were even drinking champagne together.
He was suddenly reminded of the day he and Yoongi got engaged. This must have been the way Jimin had felt seeing his family rejoice over his misfortune.
His father suddenly spotted him.
"Oh Kookie, you're here. Come! Come"
Jungkook walked over to them. He looked at his mother but she didn't seem to pay him any mind.
"This is great. I was shocked when your brother told us the news but that's exactly what is going to happen"
"With this marriage, our family will reach new heights. All our problems are now over"
He pushed a wine glass into his hand. "Here drink. Drink and celebrate"
He poured champagne into the wine glass and Jungkook looked at it, repulsed and annoyed. He silently tugged on his mother's sleeves.
"Mom, can I speak to you in private" he whispered.
Hana nodded. "Of course son"
They both left the seating room to a private space to talk.
"What's going on mother?" Jungkook demanded as soon as they were alone.
"What?"
"I thought you were going to help me win Taehyung over but here you are rejoicing over his marriage with Jimin"
Hana said nothing.
"Have you forgotten what you told me? If they marry, Jimin would become better than me in every way and that can't happen"
He sighed angrily. "You did nothing to help me when Yoongi found out about my affair with Taehyung"
He stared intensely at his mother. "Now all of a sudden, why does it seem like you are on Jimin's side? What exactly are you up to Mom?"
Hana laughed. "I will never be on Jimin's side. I'm only happy because my plan will soon manifest"
Jungkook was confused. "What are you talking about?"
Hana smiled. "I'm doing all this for us. All you have to do is wait patiently and tolerate everything. Soon, all will be over"
She scoffed. "Do you think I have stayed married to your father for nothing?"
She stroke his face lovingly. "You are the most important person to me and all I want is your happiness. Soon, you will have it all. Just be patient"
Jungkook didn't know what to think but the determination in his mother's eyes won him over and he started to believe she knew what she was doing. They returned to the other two and after thirty minutes, Jungkook decided to leave to get Jimin's wedding present. Just as he was about to walk out the front door, he heard Jimin calling out to him. He stopped and turned to him trying to look unapproachable.
"What do you want?"
Jimin slowly neared him and tried to smile.
" I know this is a lot and I might be asking for too much but I wish we can put all this bad blood between us"
Jungkook scoffed. Jimin continued.
"I'll be getting married to Taehyung and I wish you can support me"
Jungkook laughed. "How saintly of you Jimin..."
Jimin frowned"I'm serious. We are brothers. We shouldn't be fighting each other over Taehyung. It's not right"
He held his hand softly. "I wish we can start over and try to be much better. Yoongi isn't happy with you and that's the reason he demanded that we get married because he doesn't trust you"
"You should try and treat him better. He's your significant other. He deserves that at least"
Jungkook didn't say anything.
"Please... can we forget everything and move forward wishing nothing but good will for each other"
He suddenly hugged him and for a moment, Jungkook felt remorse but when he remembered Taehyung, he felt bad again. He pulled away.
"Okay... I've listened to what you said and I'll try"
With that said, he left the mansion knowing Jimin was watching from behind him.
***************
Taehyung was busy making calls when Jin rushed in with the wedding rings. He showed them to his brother and he was satisfied with it.
"This looks great" Taehyung muttered.
"Thanks. This is crazy. How are we going to prepare everything on time?"
"It will be fine. Jimin wants things simple but I'm still going to make our wedding a memorable one"
Hoseok entered and informed him that everyone already knew and they were getting ready for tomorrow. At a corner, Yeontan was rejoicing that very soon, Jimin would become a part of their family.
********************
It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining a lot more brighter on this day. Jimin woke up to a knock on the door. He opened it and Nanny Jihye was smiling. On her arms was a white suit.
"It just arrived this morning"
Jimin nodded at the suit with approval.
"Get ready quickly. You should be at the courthouse very soon" she said as she entered the room and spread the suit out on the bed.
"Have you spoken with Taehyung?"
Jimin shook his head. "Both of us decided not to talk to each other or see each other till we meet at the courthouse."
Nanny Ji hye sighed "very peculiar"
Within few minutes, Jimin had bathed and tried on the suit. Nanny Ji hye wanted to cry out because of how handsome he looked.
"No one will be able to take their eyes off you. Especially Taehyung"
Jimin blushed. Then he became quiet. Nanny Ji hye noticed how his mood suddenly changed.
"What's wrong Jiminah?"
Jimin bit his lips, worried lines etched on his face.
"I'm scared Nanny. I wonder if I can be a good spouse to Taehyung. I want to take care of him and be the person who he can always rely on. Can I be that person?"
Nanny Ji hye placed a bouquet of white lilies in his hand.
"All it takes is one step. You are just having the wedding jitters. It's normal"
"However, one thing I do know is you will do great Jimin. Taehyung is lucky to have you"
Jimin nodded feeling more assured. Mr Park and Jeong Hana suddenly entered wearing joyful expressions on her faces.
"You are all set. I'm proud of you my son" Mr Park said.
Hana hugged him. "Congratulations...Jiminie"
Jimin smiled uneasily and shared a confused look with Nanny Ji hye.
"Hurry up. We'll be waiting outside" Hana said before she and Mr Park left.
Nanny Ji hye scoffed. "It's awkward to see her looking sincerely happy for you"
"Maybe she's really happy for me"
Nanny Ji hye shook her head, definitely not convinced "It's wonderful that you try to see the good in everyone but my boy, you are too naive"
"I don't buy the behavior of that sly pretentious fox. Trust me, she's up to something. You should be careful"
Jimin nodded. Nanny Ji hye adjusted his hair and fed him a slice of cake before they left together.
******
The Court house was filled to the brim that morning. Taehyung was out front waiting for Jimin's arrival. Jin stood beside him. At a corner, Jungkook stood watching him with a broody expression on his face. Yoongi was beside him looking lost in his own thoughts.
Soon, the car bringing Jimin arrived, stopping in front of the courthouse. Jimin stepped out of the car and everyone was in awe at his angelic appearance. The white flowers complemented his look and made him look like a heavenly being. Behind him, Mr Park and Hana along with Nanny Ji hye followed as Jimin calmly walked towards Taehyung who was staring at him with mouth agape.
"Close your mouth Kim" Jimin whispered, blushing.
Taehyung finally found his words. "You look really good..."
Jimin subtly glanced at the tuxedo Taehyung was wearing, his hair slightly parted and curled at the end. He smirked. "You look good too"
Taehyung then grabbed his hand.
"Come on, let's get this over with. I can't wait to marry you"
Those who heard it laughed and Jimin reddened from embarrassment. They both entered the Court house, hands joined. Family and friends followed leaving the remaining crowd behind.
It was a small affair with the Judge. They quickly signed their wedding certificate and finally exchanged wedding rings. Then the Judge announced.
"Now, Mr Park Jimin and Mr Kim Taehyung, you both are now legally married in the eyes of the law. Congratulations and best wishes on your newly married life"
Everyone clapped as they kissed before showing off their wedding rings proudly.
Jungkook was clenching his fist tightly. Yoongi felt mixed emotions watching the two of them. A part of him felt a twist in his heart watching Jimin smile happily in the arms of his new husband.
They eventually left the courthouse and received congratulations from everyone waiting outside. Yoongi walked up to them shaking hands with them.
"Congratulations"
Jimin smiled at him. "Thank you Yoongi"
Those simple words left a deep impression in Yoongi's heart. He was supposed to feel satisfied now that those two were married but instead, he started to feel greedy when he saw how Jimin looked at Taehyung, how his eyes seemed to light up. Those affections were once his. He started to ask himself if a part of that old Jimin still remained? The part that loved him.
Jin suddenly announced in a loud voice.
"Now, the wedding doesn't end here. We are holding an after party for the new couple"
And everyone yelled out in agreement. Jimin was surprised and looked towards Taehyung but he was smiling sheepishly.
He walked over to the Parks. "In-laws, please do come with us"
The entire wedding guests then left for a new location. They arrived at a large beautiful garden which was already decorated. There were seats and tables arranged. A large cake settled at the middle. Jimin was spell bound. He looked at Taehyung.
"How did you find the time to do all these?"
Taehyung grinned"When you are a billionaire like me, there's nothing you can't do"
Jimin nudged him.
"So full of yourself"
"You should start feeling that way now hubby. You're a billionaire now"
Jimin shook his head at him.
"Do you like it? Though, our wedding was rushed but I still wanted it to be something special. How did I do? Is it too much?" Taehyung asked looking slightly nervous.
"I love it... Thank you Tae"
He gave him a light kiss on his lips but Taehyung made the kiss deeper till the extent that everyone around ignored them out of embarrassment. Merriments began and people started having a good time. Few hours later, the new couple changed into hanboks to offer the parents greetings and recieve blessing. After that, they were in their own world, dancing and enjoying themselves.
Mr Park settled down to watch the celebrations. But he felt a bit uncomfortable being in the midst of this street urchins. If it weren't that he needed Taehyung's money, there was no way he would be here associating with these kinds of people. Hana who was beside him suddenly tapped his arm to get his attention.
"Dear husband, you have finally gotten what you wanted. How does it feel?"
"I feel great my love" Park Han soo replied with a huge smile.
"But don't you feel something is not quite right here?" She suddenly whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"For someone so wealthy, our new son in law seems to integrate himself with this low class people a lot more than necessary"
Mr Park was getting curious as Hana went on.
"People love him. He is liked by everyone. He is rich and can go places and do things no ordinary person really can"
She smiled smugly. "Look around. He draws the crowd to him, much like someone we know... someone we hate"
"V" Mr Park answered. He looked at Taehyung who was drinking and trying to play feed his son cake. Jeong Hana's voice rang into his head.
"How much do we really know about our new son in law Han Soo? How much?"
Doubts began to form in his mind just from Hana's words alone. Taehyung was truly a mystery. No one knew who he really was except that he was adopted by a wealthy man when he was younger but his life before that was vague. Who was he really? Who was this person he invited into his family?
The merriments ended and everyone decided to head home.
"You stay with your husband today" Mr Park said to Jimin and he agreed.
"Are you two going on a honey moon?"
Taehyung wrapped an arm around Jimin.
"We'll discuss about it tonight"
Everyone dispersed. Jin hugged Jimin soundly welcoming him with warm words before he left with Hoseok. Jungkook and Yoongi left without even telling them goodbye but that was not enough to stop Jimin from feeling happiness.
"Hyung, I'm so happy you are going to start living with us" Yeontan said beaming happily.
"Me too" Jimin answered fondling his chin.
They headed to Taehyung's house and on the way, Jimin remembered that it was their wedding night and they would have to do the deed. He didn't even prepare himself for it. He felt so uncomfortable and Taehyung noticed it. He squeezed Jimin's hand.
"It's okay. No pressure" He whispered.
When they arrived at the house, Yeontan was already asleep. Taehyung carried him in his arms and took him to his room, tucking him in bed while Jimin watched.
It became slightly awkward when they entered the bedroom together. Taehyung laughed when so he saw how stiff Jimin became. He pulled him close and stroke his face with his finger.
"It's okay. We don't have to do anything tonight. I was thinking we would have enough time for that during our honeymoon"
Jimin looked up at him with round eyes.
"Honey moon? What do you want to do?"
Taehyung smiled. "How about going on a one month ship cruise with me. It will be fun and we will be away from all the hassles"
Jimin pouted "What about my work at the hospital?"
Taehyung seemed thoughtful. "I have that covered"
"I have hired some doctors from the City to take over for you"
Jimin frowned. "It seems you already knew I would accept to go with you. You had it all planned out already"
"Sorry for not telling you but I didn't want to take any chances"
Jimin finally smiled. "Okay fine. You're right. I really need the break so I guess it will be fun"
He hugged him tightly. "I can't believe we are married"
"Me neither. It feels like a dream"
Jimin giggled "A very sweet dream"
Taehyung looked into his face. "I promise, everything will be okay from now on. Do you trust me?"
"I do"
