Thirty two
Living together was beautiful at first, great even. Sometimes, they lazied about, doing nothing except having sex, eating and showering together. Jimin was shy at first to be so vulnerable before Taehyung but soon, he started to become a lot more bold. So bold, it made others around them awkward.
They were all gathered together, silently eating early one morning when Taehyung suddenly started chuckling.
"Yah...Taehyung, what's wrong with you?" Jin said.
Taehyung stopped laughing but after a while, he started again.
"Master, is everything okay?" Yeontan said looking confused.
Taehyung nodded trying to hide his face. Jimin was blushing and Jin was watching them with slight impatience.
"You know what, Leave! Two of you just leave. You're making me loose my appetite"
"Sorry Jin. It's my fault" Jimin muttered.
Hoseok chuckled from the side. Jin shook his head. Yeontan looked completely oblivious.
Then there were days when they argued but the arguments merely lasted hours before they were making up again.
"Taehyungah! Wake up!" Jimin screamed.
Taehyung was still fast asleep groaning tiredly. The previous day, he had drank a lot with his brother and some members of the crew. When he returned to the room he shared with Jimin, it was very late and he was dead drunk. He planned to sleep throughout the day but didn't expect to be woken up so abruptly.
"Taehyungah!" He heard Jimin call his name more than once. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and sat up on bed.
"I have a hangover Jimin. Can I sleep a bit more?"
"Absolutely not! You promised to clean up with me today"
Taehyung groaned tiredly. Somehow, they both decided to clean up on Saturday because Jimin found out after a while, Taehyung's personal hygiene was actually disastrous. He was fond of piling up his dirty clothes for days and littering things on the floor especially when he was tired. This didn't go down well with Jimin who was not only a neat freak but a control freak as well.
After days of pleading from Jimin, Taehyung finally agreed to join hands to clean and wash up every weekend. Seemed he had forgotten their agreement when he suddenly decided to get wasted with Jin and some crew members.
"Oh clean up? Maybe later. I'm tired right now"
"You can sober up. I'll prepare hangover soup for you immediately"
Jimin said as he started to leave but Taehyung just slumped back on the bed.
"There's no need. I'm just really tired"
Jimin smiled smugly. "Dear husband, you really think you can escape this one right?"
Taehyung merely grumbled.
Jimin nodded his head grinning mischeviously as he walked up to Taehyung and dragged away the blanket that was covering his body. Anger flashed in Taehyung's eyes.
"Yah! What was that for?
Jimin was up for the challenge. "You're just being lazy Tae. Get your ass up and do some cleaning around here"
"I told you No! My head is aching. How do you expect me to work in my condition"
"Well...you should have thought of that before getting wasted yesterday"
Taehyung paused for a minute trying to understand what Jimin was getting at.
"Wait a minute. Are you upset that I drank without you?"
Jimin scoffed. "Why would I be upset? I wasn't upset that you left me here alone the entire day while you were out there having a marvelous time with your hyungs"
Taehyung chuckled, staring at Jimin's pouted lips.
"Aww... you're so adorable"
"Do you want me to take you drinking with me next time?"
Jimin sighed "I really don't mind you spending time with others but just don't leave me for hours without a word and then come back drunk expecting me to take care of you"
Taehyung suddenly hugged him tightly and pecked his lips.
"I'm sorry. Next time, I'll take you drinking and I won't stay away for long without informing you"
Jimin nodded. "That's okay"
"Now that we have clarified the issue. Can I go back to sleep now?"
"No! You're taking a bath now Mr Kim. You reek!"
Taehyung wanted to cry out in frustration. Before he knew it, he was taking a bath in the shower. Once he was done, Jimin was already outside with a bowl of rice and hangover soup.
"Don't leave a tiny drop. Make sure you eat it all" Jimin said with a strict tone.
Taehyung gulped as he ate "Why are you doing this to me Jimin? Have you really forgiven me for yesterday?"
Jimin didn't answer. He just kept his face set. When Taehyung was done, they picked up their basket of laundry and walked over to where the washing machine was placed. Taehyung hid his face when he passed others on the ship. Jimin noticed it.
"Why are you hiding?"
Taehyung shook his head. "In case you've forgotten. I'm the captain of this ship...."
Jimin nodded smiling sarcastically. "Who doesn't do his own laundry" he added.
"Hoseok told me how he takes care of you. You're like a child who can't do anything by himself"
"If you're always relying on others to do things for you, how do you expect to maintain respect from your people?"
Taehyung said nothing and Jimin continued.
"You're married to me now. We are responsible for each other so one of the things you'll have to learn is how to do your own laundry. You might hate it but you're going to have to deal with that"
Taehyung stared at him.
"Have you always been this controlling?"
Jimin eyed him. "Are you regretting it now?"
Taehyung shook his head. "No! No! No! Not at all my love"
Jimin smiled and they both started their laundry. Once that was over after quite a long time, they got started on their room, sweeping and mopping the entire room. People who saw them could hardly believe that Taehyung was doing domestic chores. During battle, he was domineering but on the domestic side, he was a mess.
After he had cleaned up, it was nearly evening. He went out to rest, sitting on a lounge chair. His body ached a lot more than when he worked out for hours. Hoseok met him and laughed.
"Our Jimin seems to be something else"
"I had no idea. He didn't let me rest for a second. I managed to get a breather just now"
"But it's good you are doing things by yourself now"
"Maybe!"
Taehyung suddenly became serious. "How is the company?"
"Everything seems fine for now sir. I'm making arrangements to return the shares back to Mr Park"
Taehyung nodded. "Good. Do that as quickly as possible"
Jimin suddenly appeared so Hoseok bowed and left.
"What's wrong? You both seemed serious when I came" Jimin pointed out.
Taehyung laughed nervously "Nothing.... it's just work"
"Come here" He said and held Jimin's hand pulling him so he could sit on his lap.
"You made me work a lot. How are you going to reward me?"
Jimin acted oblivious. "Reward you? What do you mean?"
Taehyung grinned and suddenly went for the attack, kissing his neck repeatedly. Jimin jumped in surprise but Taehyung kept him seated on his lap. He gently pushed away the strand of hair blocking his eyes.
"You know what I mean?" He whispered in a deep seductive voice.
Jimin smiled beautifully and decided not to play hard to get. He finally kissed his husband back passionately, his small hands tugging at the back of his neck.
He let out a tiny squeal when Taehyung suddenly carried him in his arms and stood up.
"So shall we? Mr Park Kim?"
Jimin nodded his head shyly and Taehyung dashed inside the room with Jimin in his arms.
From a distance, Kim Namjoon watched the scene with slight disgust. He had put so much faith in Taehyung hoping that he would be the one to bring justice to that evil man Park but here he was acting like a love sick fool over his son. The thought alone made him sick to his stomach. If he had the wealth and influence to go against Mr Park, he would have done it himself.
After the annoying couple had entered their room, Namjoon looked out into the sea trying so hard to calm his anger.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" He heard a voice behind him interrupting this tranquil moment. He turned and saw Jin. He sighed, not at all happy to see him.
"What do you want?"
"I wanted an opportunity to talk to you. Finally, I got one"
Namjoon stared at the other. He was very attractive and handsome. He somehow suspected Jin had feelings for him but being in a relationship was the last thing on his mind right now especially not when Mr Park is alive and breathing.
"I'm here. What do you want to tell me?"
Jin sighed. "I can tell you're not happy"
Namjoon rolled his eyes. "Of course I'm not happy. What is your brother thinking?"
"How could he let his emotions blind him like this?"
"Not only did he marry the son of his worst enemy, he has completely abandoned his plans of getting revenge on that man"
Jin said nothing for a while causing Namjoon to grow irritated.
"Why don't you say anything"
Jin was silent for a while before he spoke while looking out to the sea "When my father brought Taehyung to the house for the first time, I could see his thirst for revenge. There was no one who wanted the end of the Parks more than he did"
"Your hatred for them couldn't even be compared to his. He loathed them and he grew up with that feeling of darkness in his heart. He had no time to know what true emotions felt like because he spent his days hatching out evil plans one after the other. I know his parents would have wanted him to move on, to leave a peaceful life void of hatred and darkness but my brother didn't listen. It was at his death bed that my father realized too late the effect of his persistence on Taehyung to take revenge but nothing could be done"
"Taehyung wasted his youth planning his revenge. When my father passed away, Taehyung dropped out of school in other to make money. He used his own inheritance to invest in several businesses. He worked day and night. He even got involved with the mafia and got jailed several times"
"He learned the ins and outs of business, sometimes engaging in illegal activities. The reason why I became a lawyer was because of him. I wanted to protect him. He always got himself involved with the law and I couldn't let him be put in danger. I had promised my father on his death bed to always be there for him"
"Since we were little, I never really saw Taehyung smile. He used people only for his benefit and discarded them if they weren't useful. He insighted the people not only because he wanted to help them but because he needed an army in case he had to face the law. I really hoped he would change and give up on his quest for revenge. I wanted him to let go of his anger. To live his life in peace. I wanted him to know that revenge wouldn't solve anything...it would only turn him into a monster and prove he's just as despicable as Mr Park"
"So When he got into a serious relationship with Jungkook, I really hoped he would change. The happiness that I hadn't seen in a long time was evident in his face. He was truly happy but I had a feeling Jungkook was going to lead him to a forbidden place and that's exactly what happened. Jungkook jilted him and Taehyung became more savage than before. For someone like him, it was a heavy blow. I thought there was no hope for him until Jimin"
"And that was when I saw Taehyung truly fall in love. I saw him learn to care for another human being not just for his selfish desire but because he really wanted to"
"Jimin changed my brother for the better and that was what I had always wanted. Who cares if he's the son of Park Han soo. As long as he can keep Taehyung from self destruction, I would gladly welcome him"
Namjoon frowned. "Why are you telling me this?"
Jin smiled. "When you find someone you love and want to protect, you will understand him"
"Mr Park will get what's coming to him but my brother doesn't have to loose his soul completely for that to happen"
Jin bowed. "I'll take my leave now. I hope you will think carefully and make the right decision"
He walked away and Namjoon felt himself wavering. Should he really give up revenge? He found it hard to do after being embittered for so long but surprisingly, Jin's voice wouldn't stop ringing in his head.
The ship was soon making a stop at a remote village for supplies. While there, they would all encounter an experience they weren't prepared for.
