Dear one ||Taekook|| - Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Taehyung can't explain the amount of relief that was rushing through him when he knew that his Jimin never betrayed him...  He ran through the corridors and finally reached the cafe where Namjoon and Jimin were talking about something...
' Jiminie' He yelled as he ran in...and in the process grabbed the attention of some other people
Jimin was on his feet the instant he heard Taehyung's voice... before he could even process what happened Tae was thrown into his arms but his reflexes where quick enough to hold him on time
' Tae?' Jimin called ' Are y-'
' Am happy that it was not you.... thankyou for not breaking my trust' Taehyung said cutting off Jimin ' Thankyou for being my best friend..my soulmate...my everything even when I avoided you for all these years... thankyou so much Chim'
Jimin felt his vision blurring when he tightened his hold around his best friend.... ' I honestly missed this' He whispered chuckling 'Jungkook hyung told you?'
Taehyung pulled back when he heard that ' Not exactly...but just told me that I can trust you...'
' What's happening?'Namjoon asked confused
' I was just asking Jimin if he could sit with Jungkook till I come...' Taehyung shrugged
' Yeah sure... ' Jimin smiled ' And Joonie... please do have something till I come ok? Tae..'
' Yeah Jimin' He gave him an assuring smile
' Y-you still doubt me?' Namjoon asked after sitting in silence for a while... looking at the steam rising from the hot food in front of him that Taehyung just brought
' Should I?' Taehyung asked back
' I don't know anymore...' Namjoon sighed as his shoulders slumped ' I just want to say sorry...I couldn't do anything for the Jeons back then...nor could keep my little Kook safe even when I promised to protect him.... I shouldn't have even let him be your body guard'
' Are you out of your mind?' Taehyung deadpanned ' I mean...I don't know who is behind all this...nor can I say that I completely trust you' Taehyung saw the hurt in his hyung's eyes 'But honestly.. letting him being my body guard was the best decision'
Namjoon just nodded as he picked on the noodles in front of him
' I thought you hated Yoongi' Taehyung slurped in his noodles... ' But seeing you both today..it felt like you both were some long lost friends'
' We are best buddies' Namjoon exclaimed... ' We were very close actually....'
' Too close that you both were ready to kill each other' Taehyung scoffed
' No...its....Yoongi used to have this... teenie weenie crush on Jimin while we were young and before he could tell anyone I confessed to Jungkook just after he told me that he loves you...And Yoongi happened to hear that and we kind of you know... fought...but then after some weeks he came and told me that it was just an attraction and he was over it now... Even though I was hella relieved but we both were too used to fighting that we just stuck on to that... But no matter however we fight he was my best buddy..'  Namjoon smiled lightly ' He then met our chaotic hyung and...then I saw him falling for Jin hyung... I saw the way Yoongi's eyes shone every time he see him... I have seen the love he had for our hyung in his every action even though he never voiced it out...and I was way to desperate to finally see him with someone that I introduced Jin hyung to him.... They both were like the pieces of a puzzle..they clicked so fast as if they were never strangers...as if they were just meant to be and I was soo damn happy to see both of them smiling... I was happy that finally my Jin hyung did get someone who will cherish him...'
Taehyung looked at his hyung who just continued to explain how whipped Yoongi and Jin were for each other and how much he loved Yoongi's friendship... The smile that adorned his face was no where near fake He looks way too pure to do something as sinful as that which happened on that night...Joonie can't even hurt someone with his words...how can he possibly kill someone..no..its not him...or am I wrong?
' Why did you deny to be a part of Appa's company? Why did you hate him?' Taehyung asked making Namjoon stop whatever he was rambling about..
' What?'
' You told you didn't want to be a part of the family business nor did you ever talked properly with appa..why?'
' I didn't wanted to be tossed away like Jin hyung by appa...nor did I wanted to stay at a place where my hyung was not valued...Appa claims that Jin hyung is his favorite son...but then he kept on separating Jin from whatever he held close... I never found my hyung smiling when he was in that house..he was like a puppet in appa's hand whose happiness was controlled by Appa's words... Jin hyung did work day and night to make Appa proud of him...he wanted to remain appa's favourite child..as we would call that...and didn't wanted to disappoint him... Jin hyung might appear all tough and all..but he is just a broken soul caged inside his own broken heart.... Even from a young age it was appa who used to take decisions for him...he was never given anything that could make him happy yet hyung did try his best...I found him smiling genuinely for the first time when he met Yoongi...I knew it was going to be a new beginning..but never knew that it would be the beginning of his own destruction... '
Namjoon saw the way the younger was frowning.. can't blame him..he never had any idea about all these... 'Tae.. I know this is all new for you and ....that you loved appa like no one else... We all also do..but he was not the perfect dad for me nor hyung... I understood that he never knew how badly he was hurting hyung when I went with him for a meeting.... The strategies were not matching and the deal was going to be called off... Jin hyung was also there..but he couldn't do anything about it... and then something clicked in me..and I suggested something which made the deal possible... The clients were impressed and Appa was over the clouds... He hugged me...praised me.. just for a single idea but then he insulted Jin hyung in front of everyone.... I saw him biting his cheeks trying to keep a straight face but that day for the first time in my life..  I saw my hyung crying... The hyung who was always there for me to support me even in the worst of times cried on my shoulders that day...not just because he was insulted but because that was the day when a 15 year old Taehyung's fantasy of becoming a CEO defeated the 20 year old Seokjin's only dream..Appa cancelled all his plans of making him the CEO and instead announced him as the sales manager... '
' I never wanted that... I was not even serious when I told that I wanted to be the CEO' Taehyung wanted to say out loud but his voice was stuck in his throat
'I did tell him that no hyung our Tae was not being serious when he told that..he was just fantasizing it after seeing some drama but all my hyung had to say was " Let him be Namjoon ah...I trust my brother with it...but appa...appa should have given me a chance till Tae is of age... I would have gladly stepped down for our Tae.. I think I failed him...I might have disappointed him for him to do this..." That day I decided that I don't want to be a part of anything that broke my hyung..nor do I want to be near someone who broke him' Namjoon took in a deep breath before continuing
' I started looking for an apartment from then on...I started doing a part time job at a nearby cafe where Jungkook visted most of the time... He was there on my first day and asked me what was the need for the son of the leading businessman to work at the cafe...even though that was just a joke..I have never felt that disgusted about anything... I told him what had happened...and I saw the anger building up in him...for he was like Jin hyung's baby...he was my best friend..my brother but Jin hyung meant a lot to him.... Fortunately Yoongi hyung was there for my hyung in each and every step of his life and I did see him happy again.. but everything ended the day appa announced hyung's wedding with Hobi... '
Namjoon took hold of Taehyung's hand drawing circles to console the now cry boy
' I was loosing hope in love by that time at the same time I was starting to trust the power of love.... I had to see Jungkook breaking down.... I had to see the always cheerful bunny turning into a mess when his sister fell in love with his first and only love.... The Jungkook who used to flinch at the smallest of sound and faint at the sight of blood had to join military just so that his sister and her lover could be happy'
Taehyung felt his heart break hearing that
' Then there came Yoongi..who oh so selflessly sacrificed his love for our appa's life... That was the last string that broke my hyung.... You know Tae... when we were young and I was a lot more destructive than now...I used to get way too hurt when emma scolded me...but you know everytime Jin hyung looks at me with his warm eyes all of my pain..all of my fears will just vanish in thin air....his eyes were all that was needed for me to feel warm and safe but when Yoongi told him to obey whatever appa told..that day I saw the warmth leaving my hyung and never in my life did I felt that cold.... He didn't cry...not even a bit...all he did was move around like a fucking robot...My hyung was dying and no one even cared...no one noticed... Everyone were busy with their own selfish needs...and I honestly hated even breathing in a place like that and thats when I was determined to move out.. '
Namjoon's voice became rough as anger filled him 'I did talk to appa...I begged in front of him like a bitch...I cried in front of him like a pathetic shit but all he did was ingnore my pleas to return my hyung's happiness... I have never hated anyone that much in my life... Still I had a tiny bit of hope left me as I knew that Jungkook will die but won't let this happen..but that too died down when Yoongi decided to hide it from him.... Life was a hell for him from the beginning... He might appear all cold and tough now but he is nothing more than a broken soul'
' Jimin knew all this and he was with me in every step... he was my anchor holding me... supporting me even when I felt like loosing myself... I wanted to cut off all ties with our family but your face was the only thing that forbade me from doing it... Even Jin hyung used to visit our house only to see you... ' Namjoon sighed as he looked at Taehyung who was now a sobbing mess...
' I know you don't trust me.... And I won't even argue about that..but Tae...I did see one of my brothers breaking.... loosing his everything....I can't afford to see that again with my other one' Namjoon stood up walking away leaving Taehyung on his own
Taehyung wiped his face over and over again but the tears didn't even plan on stopping... He didn't know what to think...a part of him wanted to hate everyone of them.. another part of him wanted to run to his Jin hyung and hug him till all of the elder's pain vanishes....but deep down he knew where to go..whom to see and he did what his heart told him to...
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Hey hyung' Jimin smiled as he entered Jungkook's room
' Heyy'
' How are you feeling?' Jimin asked sitting on the chair beside the bed
' Alive?' Jungkook chuckled as Jimin just stiffled a laugh
' You told Tae?' Jimin asked
' No...I just told him to trust you' Jungkook shrugged
' Thanks for trusting me Hyung'
' Thanks for looking after my hyung Jimin'
' Am... sorry' Jimin suddenly said
' Why?' Jungkook frowned
' I knew that he will strike...but I couldn't do anything as he was with me all the time .... I did tell Yoongi hyung but he couldn't reach you... If only I would have done anything....you wouldn't have been in this condition....' Jimin held his head low
Jungkook hesitantly extended his hand as he slowly kept it over Jimin's ' Jimin... I know that we haven't been than close...but you have always treated me like family and am very thankful for that... You are Tae's best friend...and you are just like an younger brother to me... You have already done everything you could do for us...for me... please don't apologize....'
Jimin smiled lightly as he felt a squeeze on his arm... Truely hyung... Tae is really lucky He thought looking at the man in front of him...
' Jimin' Jungkook called ' How did you know that he will be on it again?'
' I...heard him talk on the phone'
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
' Joon stop'
Namjoon stopped on his tracks when he heard someone calling him..
' Yes hyung?' He asked looking at the panting male
' Ha- wait did you eat?' Jin asked
' Yeah... I ate with Taehyung' Namjoon nodded
' Cheer up Joon...Kook is all fine ok?' Jin smiled as Namjoon nodded ' By the way...Did you see Hobi?'
' Wasn't he with you?' Namjoon asked..
' Me?'
' Yeah... Just when you left..we told Hobi to go with you...cz we thought that you might need him... I mean we both were affected...as Kook is someone really important and I was already crying..I thought you might not want to break down in front of us and thus Jimin asked Hobi to go with you and he agreed as h-'
' Hobi came behind me?' Jin asked...his heart beat raising
' Yeah...he left immediately.... And we never saw him after that.... automatically we thought he was with you' Namjoon shrugged
He didn't see us right...no no he can't see me with Yoongi...what did I do...oh god Jin flinched when he felt a hand on his shoulder... He saw the concerned look Namjoon was giving him
' What happened hyung?' Namjoon asked
' Nothing... I.. remembered something important... I'll see you in a while' Jin ran out even before Namjoon could say anything..
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
I...heard him talk on the phone
Jungkook was about to say something when the door to his door slammed open as a crying Taehyung ran in... Jungkook was quick to sit up.. wincing on his own actions when he felt his wound open..but he could care less..
' Tae?' Jungkook called softly when he felt the said male shake in his arms... He threw a questioning look at Jimin just shook his said ' Heyy Fluffy..look at me.. what happened?'
' L-let me stay like this' Taehyung cried clinging onto the elder's clothes.... His hands gripping on to his bodyguard's shoulder
Jimin saw the way Jungkook sucked in a harsh breath.. biting his lips as Taehyung continued to cry... He furrowed his brows when he saw the way Jungkook's face contorted in pain... What's happening to him Jimin stood up from the chair and walked to the side Taehyung was clinging on to only to have a gasp leave his mouth..for his eyes fell on the red liquid that was now oozing out of Jungkook's shoulder where Taehyung was unconsciously digging his nails into..
' Oh my god Taehyung leave' Jimin's voice raised as the said boy flinched looking at him
' Jimin?' Taehyung frowned...not knowing what he meant
' Leave Tae he is bleeding' Jimin pulled Taehyung away and the younger's eyes widened when he saw blood on his hands
' I'll call the doctor and come' Jimin ran out
' Jungkook..am so sorry' Taehyung felt his blood running cold seeing Jungkook's state...
' it's fine' Jungkook tried to put on a smile but the pain was way too much
' Why didn't you tell' Taehyung wiped his cheeks
' You needed me..'
' You are hurt'
' You are in pain'
' You are bleeding Jungkook'
' Guess am so addicted to you that For every scar that adorned you... I am the one bleeding' Jungkook smiled
Taehyung felt the air being knocked out of him as his mind rushed back to something he said long back to Jungkook you will become so addicted to me that for every scar that adorns me..you will be the one bleeding
' No' Was all that came out of the young CEO's mouth as his hands flew to his mouth
Just then the doctor walked in followed by Jimin
' I need you to wait outside' He said as he started undoing the bandage around Jungkook
' I'll be fine bear' Jungkook blinked his eyes ones as Jimin pulled the younger out with him
' Why were you crying?' Jimin asked once they sat down on the bench outside the room
' I...had a talk with Joon hyung'Taehyung said playing with his fingers ' He told me why he hated appa...'
' Oh' Jimin nodded ' Tae... I won't ask you to trust anyone here... not even me....but promise me one thing'
Taehyung raised his head towards him as Jimin continued
' Promise me that this time you will listen to the deepest voice in your heart... Promise me not to fall weak again.... You can't loose your Amour again Taehyung'
Taehyung saw his best friend's eyes glistening... He drew in a deep breath as he said
'Don't worry Jimin ah...I won't loose him...cz I have finally found my dear one''
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Jin was walking towards his car...his phone pressed towards his ears trying to call his husband when he suddenly felt someone pulling him back making his stop
' Yoonie?' Jin breathed out ' You scared me'
' Why do you look so tensed?' Yoongi cocked a brow
' I...was trying to call Hobi...he is nowhere to be seen' Jin said getting worried
' Why are you so worried about him? It's not like you love him or something'
Jin stilled as he looked at the man in front of him 'Was that a question or a statement Yoongi? Why do I feel like you were doubting me?'
' May be I am....'
' What?'
' You are cheating on your Husband..so you can cheat me too right?' Yoongi shrugged
Jin felt his eyes pricking with tears when he heard that ' Am not cheating anyone'
' So sleeping with me behind your husband's back is considered as wh-'
' This is not you Yoonie... What's wrong?' Jin cut him off
' Nothing is wrong...its just am done using you.. I don't need you in my life anymore'
Jin's frown deepened as a tear left his eyes ' What?'
' Oh please what did you think? That even after doing all that with my sister and my family I'll forgive you and get back with you? I have always hated you..all this was just a play to show you that no matter whatever you do...how much you try to show me your love..  I would never forgive you'
Jin stared at Yoongi for a good long minutes after which he decided to open his mouth
' What's bugging you?' Jin asked and saw the way Yoongi's cold facade broke
' What do you mean'
' I know that you didn't mean a thing that you told... I can see it Yoongi... I have loved you for half of my life and I know when you are lying...tell me what is it' Jin said cupping his cheeks...
That was all needed for Yoongi to break down 'Am dying Jinnie and I don't want to leave you alone here....I just got you back but I don't have much time left....our fate seems way too against of us... When I had time I didn't have you and when I finally got you..I don't have time...I-' Yoongi's eyes widened when he felt a pair of lips getting pressed on his own shutting him up
' You are not going anywhere leaving me here....I Won't let you do whatever the fuck you want this time Yoongi... I won't let anyone take you away from me' Jin said before leaning in again as they kissed each other desperately...
A small moan left Yoongi's mouth when Jin nibbled on his neck..
' H-hyung' Yoongi breathed out ' Not h-here'
' Where?' Jin raised his head..his voice deeper than the ocean and his eyes darker than night
' My place'
