Innocent (TaeKook) - Chapter 16: Chapter 16

"What the hell is wrong with you" Jungkook said while entering the room, booming voice  sending ringings to Lisa's ears . She saw JK from the mirror she was standing infront of.
There was a pile of clothes on the bed and Lisa was holding dress in her hand trying to see which look best. She turned and picked another dress not giving any attention to Jungkook.
"What do you think? Which one looks good?" Lisa said while holding the other dress completely ignoring Jungkook's question. Jungkook was loosing his temper with every passing seconds. He had already alot in his mind and Lisa's attitude was not helping at all.
"LISA" Jungkook roared again.
"Jungkook" Lisa smirked which fueled Jungkook's anger even more. He stepped forward and gripped her arm harshly. He snatched the dresses from Lisa's hand and threw them on the bed.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Jungkook said gritting his teeth. Lisa didn't budge at all.
"I'm....." she said looking at her bed. "I was selecting a dress" she said casually like there is nothing to notice around her.
"Don't tempt me Lisa. You know exactly what I'm talking about" Jungkook jolted her.
"Actually I don't. Care to elaborate" Lisa said removing her arm from Jungkook's hold.
"What the hell was that in the morning" Jungkook said turning her around as she went back to pick her dress up.
"Ohhh that. Ummm I don't think there is anything to say. I mean you saw everything so why ask?" Lisa went back to the mirror.
"Listen to me and listen very carefully. Stay away from things that don't concern you. It's better that you follow my orders like others do." Jungkook didn't took even a step forward just said it with his intimidating voice.
"It actually concerns me Jungkook. What i said in the morning was not wrong. I'm the only person here who should be doing your work. And about your order I would love to do as you say" Lisa said smirking.
"First its JK. J.K. remember it and second it's better if you know you place on your own. I don't want people around here gossiping about how a brother punished his sister." Jungkook said and turned on his feet to leave the room.
"Jung...."
"JK" Jungkook roared.
"I'm anything but your sister JK. Stop using these relationship slangs" Lisa hissed in anger while launching toward Jungkook.
"Enough. Don't make do what I don't want to do sis" Jungkook said mocking already pissed Lisa. "And i want you on the dining  table at the time of eating" Lisa tried to argue but Jungkook left the room after what had to say.
Lisa threw the dress that she was holding on the ground and screamed in frustration. "You will pay for this"
Jimin was sitting in the living room busy with his phone. He heard a faint footsteps and darted his gaze around only to fell on the certain individual he was avoiding from the past few hours.
Taehyung was moving toward him. Jimin panicked and switched off his off to slide it in his pocket. Taehyung was few step away.
"J-Jimin..... Sir can i...." Taehyung couldn't complete the sentence as Jimin stood up and left the living room making his way upstairs. Taehyung thought to follow him but a voice stopped him.
"Taehyung in my office now" Jungkook said and walked back to his office. As he was standing there this whole time when Taehyung was giving himself courage to go talk to Jimin, where Jimin was completely unknown of the fact that Taehyung was standing in the dining area from quite a time.
Jimin heard Jungkook calling Taehyung and he turned with the speed of light. He regretted his doing soon as he saw Taehyung going inside the office.
"Damn it. I could have talked. Atleast it was better than him going to Kook's" Jimin said smacking his own head lightly.
You could have talked? Didn't you heard what he said. "Jimin" and then "sir" you really think he came to have a chat with you. It's better to keep distance. He is going to unfriend you soon you will talk to him.
"Ugghhh. What have i done. I can't loose him. No" Jimin was on the verge of crying.
Taehyung knocked on office door and entered after getting the permission.
"Y-yes Sir" Taehyung could help to shutter. Jungkook was boring his gaze on him as soon as he entered.
"What were you doing?" Jungkook's question was simple but Taehyung find it alot hard to answer.
"I-i j-ju-just...." he was cut off by Jungkook.
"Can't you speak properly even a single sentence." Jungkook knotted his eyebrows looking at the younger's condition. He didn't even moved a finger and the other was like he is going to pass out any minute now.
"I j-just finished cleaning the dishes sir." Taehyung finally said while holding the breath so that he don't shutter.
"Did you eat?" Jungkook asked in concern yet it sounded like a threat.
"N-no i d-didn't. You can c-check" Jungkook felt a very unpleasant feeling building up in his stomach. Taehyung's words felt like a sharp arrow which torn Jungkook's heart.
"I didn't mea...... forget it. Have your lunch and after that bring me a cup of coffee..... strong" Jungkook said and watched a flicker of relief on younger's face. He felt relieved himself as somehow he was the cause of that little moment. A small smile made his way to his lips and went away as soon as he came when he noticed a frown on younger's face who was looking at his face.
Taehyung bowed and left the room and went straight to the kitchen.
The words of Taehyung were making Jungkook restless. He really didn't meant that but why did Taehyung thought he would ask him something like that. Jungkook stood up to open the window. He felt suffocated suddenly. He took a long breath of fresh air once he opened the window.
Taehyung was serving himself some food and his mind went back to Jimin.
He hates me. The only person who cared about me so much that he betrayed his family, his brother. and what did i do i doubted him. Didn't even let him explain. Surely he will hate me. You are useless Taehyung. You deserve what's happening to you. He fought with his brother for you and what did you do? You humiliated him infront of everyone. He is never going to talk to you. It's better to keep distance cz he is going to unfriend you as soon as you will talk to him.
Taehyung thought to himself and wanted to cry. The urge to cry was increasing. He swallowed the lump building in his throat and sat down to eat. He didn't feel like eating so he poured the food back to the pot and washed his plate.
Taehyung was making coffee for Jungkook when he felt a small tap on his shoulder he turned to see Lisa standing there. He quickly backed away before he witness something like this morning.
"S-sir asked f-for Coffee him-himself. I'm j-just doing what i was ordered m-madam." Taehyung ended with a bow and Lisa smirked seeing the impression she made on younger.
"Oh it's fine. I came here to say sorry for this morning. I shouldn't have done that." Taehyung noticed it quite odd cz her eyes were not at all changed but her words were.
"I-it's okay Madam. You don't need to say sorry after all I'm a servant" Taehyung bowed again and Lisa chuckled.
"Make one for me also same as Jung- JK's"Taehyung bowed on the command and went back to his work while Lisa stood there for few seconds and then left to her room.
Taehyung knocked on the door again and went inside and placed the coffee on the table and stood away from the table. Jungkook sipped the coffee and with appreciated expression looked at Taehyung. Taehyung smiled lightly and bowed.
"Have you eaten?." Jungkook asked again but in a softer tone and changing the structure of sentence a little. Taehyung nodded but realized that Jungkook hate using gestures and opened his mouth to speak but Jungkook held his hand high to gesture that its okay. Taehyung bowed and left the room.
As he came inside the kitchen Maria was sitting on the chair cupping her face with her hands.
"What happened to you?" Taehyung asked as he was quite frank with Maria. She also was very good to him. Maria was in his 30's and didn't had any children so he always treated Taehyung like his child as she knew that poor boy was too innocent to be in this dark world of Mafia. Maria turned to see Taehyung seated next to her and turned her chair to him. She held his hands and kissed lightly.
"Listen to me Taehyung. You don't have to fear Lisa. And there is no need to talk to her. She might be JK's sister but he actually don't like her. Actually no body around here like her. So no need to give her unnecessary respect and try to stay away from her as much as you can. JK is a nice person but she.... she is the one from whom even Satan  seek  protection." Taehyung giggled on Maria's choice of words.
Maria cooed at the beautiful boy infront of her. She really thanked God to send Taehyung in her life. First she always took care of Jungkook but he never bothered to take it in account but Taehyung was  a pure soul. He always wanted to lessen the burden of work and he always had time for Maria. In this hell hole Taehyung found many things that he once  wished for.
"What are you guys talking about and why is this pretty angel giggling ?" Taehyung turned to the owner of voice and stood up abruptly seeing the person behind him.
"Jin hyung. I missed you." Jin squeezed younger's cheeks and sat on the chair. Taehyung quickly handed him the glass of water.
"So what was you guys talking that made my baby laugh." Jin said looking at younger with hearty eyes.
"Nothing just random things." Maria replied and stood up. "Ohh i forgot Namjoon asked me to give this to you" Maria handed him a piece of paper with something written on it in a code. Jin smiled lightly looking at the piece of paper.
"Jin Hyunggggg" a loud noice tracked Jin out of his thoughts. Before he could stand up he was attacked.
"Jiminie" Jin stood up while the smaller boy still clung to him like koala. "How are you?. It's been so long i saw you" Jin said smiling at the gray haired boy.
"Im soo good now that i met you. How are you?. Where were you?. I didn't saw you even before going to the festival." Jimin bombarded older with questions.
"I'm very happy as I met this cute individual." Jin pointed at Taehyung who quickly darted his gaze to the ground as he didn't had the courage to see in Jimin's eyes. "I was usually in my hospital didn't got time to visit more often" Jin explained as Jimin walked him to the living room.
"So when did you came back?" Jin said to the shorter male whose facial expression changed from happy to sad in a second and then back to normal.
"Just today before lunch." Jimin answered but in low tone as what happened just few hours back made him regret to come back.
"What happened? You are hiding something?" Jin said while lifting younger's face by supporting his chin.
"N-nothing. Why would i hide something from you?" Jimin played it cool but it was not enough to satisfy Jin.
"Okay so what is it?" Jin said lifting his one eyebrow.
"Really it's nothing hyung. I promise" Jin lifted Jimin's hand which had a crossed fingers.
"I didn't thought you would lie to me. It's fine if you don't think I'm capable for your trust" Jin knew he had no other way than to blackmail younger emotionally.
"Hyung no. No that's..... i never said that" Jimin freaked out at the words .
"No it's okay. It's fine" Jin said trying his full to hold his chuckle as seeing Jimin's face.
"I-it's Taehyung." That's it and all the smile drifted away from Jin's face.
