27. I KNEW

Seokjin's

"Hmm, Tae ..."

I said as I pull out of the kiss. It's honestly embarrassing at what raye we've been making love these past day. I couldn't get enough. I rather think I won't ever get enough. This is Taehyung. The love of my life.

I looked into his eyes and smiled. It's already morning. I had the best night of my life yesterday. It's good to be back im his arms again. This is home. He woke me up with a kiss. I'm so happy. But I know deep down inside me we needed to talk. We need to get things clearer.

"Get up now, King. I made breakfast for you."

I smiled at him. I got up, took a bath and changed my clothes. I wore his white tee and ripped jeans. Even though Taehyung is way much older that me, I can't deny that his fashion sense is A+ with all his fits, he never looked like in his 40s. He looked like he's just my age.

I went downstairs and walked to the kitchen. He was already there preparing our meal. He made fried rice, bacon and eggs for today. My favorite. I sat on the dining chair. He sat in front of me. We started eating. It was a quiet morning. We didn't talked much but I know that we have an understanding of the situation.

After eating, we decided to watch a movie and sat on the couch with chips on our hands. I leaned my head on his shoulders and closed my eyes. I'm not really interested in the movie he played. It was about guns, revenge and stuffs like that. I would prefer watching Lion King over this one.

"Jin, will you go home?" He asked me. He must've noticed my lack of interest.

"Yeah. But I don't want to."

He sighed. He made me face him. He turned off the TV. Are we going to have that talk now?

"I am not dead." He started. I chuckled a bit and signalled him to continue. "Hoseok didn't killed me. You know, your ex-bodyguard, he's an assassin. He is hired by your father not knowing his 'real' job. Hoseok was paid by your Uncle Zeus to kill me." He let put a deep breath.

"He was so mad at me because of what I did to his family. I was evil. I know that. I'm still that same eveil man as before, Jin. And to be honest I don't feel any remorse of all the things I did. I am ruthless, Jin. I even intended to threaten Jimin and Namjoon even after my death. I sent them mails, creepy mails that would sent them on edge and go nuts again. I love to see tgeir downfall. I still do. Because why wouldn't I?

Zeus made me miserable. I asked for his help when Mom was dying but he just laughed at my face. I had nothing back then. I can't even put my Mom to the hospital. While him, he has everything. I just asked for his help to buy Mom some medicine. Just some pieces of it. But he let her die. The only family I had was gone because he's selfish. And now, I am getting back.

But as usual, he's still the same. He will do everything to get rid of anyone who would come to his way. He even won't let Yoongi have his inheritance. That guy is selfish. He deserves to rot in hell."

I was just listening to him. I can understand where he's coming from. But I won't be that know it all protagonist. I won't give him words of wisdom such as forgive and forget. I can't give him that when I myself didn't went through the same shits he's been.

I don't want to be like the people around him who tried to direct his actions and tell him what's right or wrong. I want him to figure it out on himself. Because what people can't understand is that life is not a perfect story. We could be villains in other's story and the hero on ours.

I looked at Taehyung fondly. He is a villain in everyone's story, yes it's true. But in ours, he's the main lead. That main character. He is fucked up but who cares. I love all of him including his perfection.

"Hoseok told me that Zeus wanted me dead but because of you, King. My Seokjin. He replaced my body with another corpse and faked the DNA test. That guy had a lot of scary connections. He took me away and we flew to Greece. I don't know how that happened but he managed to get me out of this country."

He said. He held my hand and kissed it.

"Hoseok placed his bet on me. That conceited guy loved you so much. He didn't shoot me straight to the heart. He just gave me a few shots near it. But if that idiot missed, I would be dead. But I guess he knows what he's doing. Because I'm here. He helped me recover. He took care of me and watched out for you from afar. I never really planned on coming back, Jin. But you saw me. And we're here. I just hope Yoongi won't go berserk when he knows about us."

I sighed.

"I don't know, Taehyung. We'll see. I'll look for a perfect timing. I will tell him definitely. I don't want to hide like what we did before."

"Me too."

"So ... Uhm, what are we?" I asked him. I needed to know. I needed an assurance. I don't want to fight for something I'm not certain again. I heard him said I love you to me but I want a concrete relationship. A fixed label.

He chuckled.

"Husbands." He answered. He pinched my nose. "How could you manage to brighten a situation like this?"

"I got it from my Mama." I said smugly. And then I remembered something. "Why did you always visit my Mom everyday?"

"Because, she liked me. Nobody ever liked me except you and Yoongi. That day on the mall before I got shot, we met and I apologized to her. I was ready to stop my plans and just settle down with you. I asked for your hand in marriage too. She agreed. And when I was back from Greece, I visited her to ask questions of you. She would give me answers and if I asked something so stupid, she'll slap me with her Hermes bag."

I giggled. Yeah, she's indeed my Mama.

"Mama likes you. She said that this morning. She'll be thrilled to know that you're alive."

"Anyway, Jin. Doesn't the public know that I am alive?" He asked.

I tried to rethink of the happenings last year. I bit my lips when a memory came to mind.

"They don't. Uncle Zeus didn't let the press know. Only the family knows."

He nodded his head. "I see. Now I know why some people still look at me the same way when I accidentally sees them."

"We'll be overcoming this, right? You and me till the end?" I asked him. I held on his hand tighter.

"Until eternity, King. Until eternity." He said in almost a whisper. I smiled that's enough for me. I can fight for us with that knowledge in mind.

I got home that afternoon. It was 2pm when I reached the house. I checked my phone and saw that Yoongi left me messages. 20 messages since last night. Most of them were asking where am I. I turned my phone off and went inside.

I saw my Mama sitting on the couch. She was writing something on her notebook again.

"Hi, Mama." I greeted her. I sat beside her and kissed her temple. "How's your day?"

She smiled and set aside her pen and notebook.

"I'm okay. How are you? Where did my little King went?"

I sighed. I think I need to tell my Mama. She's my best friend and she would understand.

"Mama, I met Taehyung again. He's alive and well. The guy you always see here with me, that's Yoongi. He's Taehyung's brother. But the real Taehyung, Mom, he's alive."

She looks bewildered for a second and a warm smile crept on her face.

"Devils don't die, son. They just burn in hell and comes back to Earth to ruim things again." I giggled.

"Mom, that's a bad reference."

"No, it's not. It's partly true. Mama can remember it now, just for now, that he already told me that. I slapped him with my Manolo's that day. I still hates Zeus because he raped Athena before marrying her but I like Taehyung better. That man is so lonely but whenever he talks about you, his mood lightens up and he seemed to be ... Happy, and looks like he gots out of hell in a fraction of a second. Son, you are his sanity. Do you love him?"

I wanted to tear up. Mama gjving her support to us is a great thing for me. It's a milestone.

"Yes, Mama."

"Are you happy?"

I nodded.

"Then Mama is happy too." She kissed my forehead. She leaned backwards and stared at me.

"Jin, you're here! Where have you been? You're party will begin later. Go change clothes! Change to your Armani suit! Not just those simple tees. It's your 21st birthday! It should be special!"

I hugged my Mama. She may be forgetful but her love for me is eternal. I love her so much.

===

I went upstairs. Mama fell asleep. Papa came home and brought her to their room. I didn't said anything to my Dad but he looked at me and said:

"I know he's alive. You're Mama told me. Do what makes you happy. Just don't forget about Mama and her love for you."

I hugged my Papa because of that. Things became smoother now than it was before. This is a miracle. I heard my phone ringing and it was Taehyung.

"How are you, Knight?" I greeted. I had this stupid smile on my face.

"I'm okay. But I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"I talked to Mama. She knows about us and my Papa too. They supports us. I can't believe this is happening." I said. I let out a chuckle.

"Start believing now King. We'll make things right this time."
