39: Tears

Ignore mistakes please

Third person P.O.V

Jungkook looked at him with confusion, what do you call that emotion? He felt betrayed that Taehyung was siding with his father.

"Stay away Tae. He is a murderer." He said calmly, trying hard not to lash on the innocent boy but Taehyung wasn't ready to get that. He shook his head and stay rooted on the floor on his knees.

"N- no. Please. H-he is my father. Please." Jungkook frowned the way the other was pleading.

"He is a killer, not even a human." Jungkook said with gritted teeth and Taehyung let out a sob and was stumbling over the words. He knew the situation was very sensitive for the raven-haired but he can't help with his own emotions.

"He is my only family.. p-please" He again pleaded and Hyungsik was just staring at the blond who was covering his figure on his knees. Pleading for his life.

"Tae, get away please. I can't let him go this easily. I waited for years. I CAN'T FORGET THE DEAD BODIES OF MY PARENTS ALL IN BLOOD." Jungkook finally lost it and lashed out at the blond out of anger. The feeling of letting go of his only target and reason for this whole mafia thing was taking a toll on his brain.

Taehyung flinched at the yelling but inhaled sharply before starting.

"I- I know. But don't kill him like that-"

"WHY? Do you have any idea? That day still haunts me, I couldn't have a proper sleep in all these years. I always see my parents screaming in pain and I felt so useless. Those bloody bodies of my loved ones haunt me." Jungkook cut him and said the words as his voice wavered a bit. But he composed himself again, taking the hold of gun tightly, pointing at Hyungsik's head once more.

Taehyung's eyes widened and he got up with his shaky legs and grabbed Jungkook's hands and put the gun over his own forehead, getting him by surprise.

"Tae, what are you doing? LET GO!"

"NO! N-o. I- I promised that I will do anything to give you justice for your parents. So, here-" He said as he pressed the gun over his head more.

"Take your revenge." His eyes were already red due to all his crying and definitely due to high fever. Jungkook tried to move away his hand from his forehead but Taehyung hold him more tightly.

"You u- used me before, use me again to have your peace." Taehyung said with his shaky voice, eyes never leaving the black ones, staring deeply at each other.

Jungkook exhaled loudly at the word used. He was feeling that Taehyung was definitely hating him now that's why he was acting this way.

Thinking that he yanked his hand away from Taehyung's forehead just when the others' grip loosened due to emotions.

"It was a mistake and I regret it Tae. You know that I will never hurt you again." He breathed out and Taehyung chuckled bitterly and hung his head low, his tears were now falling on the floor.

"Y- you always hurt me K- Kookie." Jungkook's breath hitched at those words. He frowned and stepped closer to the blond who seemed in a daze.

"Tae-"

"You left me alone back then when I needed you" Jungkook silently saw those eyes that were spacing out.

"You hurt my soul... m-my self-respect." He bit his lip as he recalled his nightmare when Yoongi almost made him dirty due to his stupid anger.

"T- Tae-"

"You make me a fool using those childhood memories." Taehyung again chuckled sadly and Jungkook quickly shook his head as he tried to touch the other but Taehyung stepped back, looking up at those eyes that were now filled with so many emotions.

"I never did that, whatever I said is true.. it's true." The way Jungkook was trying to prove his words, all the men in the basement were aware now that the blond wasn't an ordinary person in the place.

Hyungsik was quiet, abnormally quiet as he was trying to figure out everything in front of him.

"But you are trying to hurt me again Jungkook. You were so brave, you are still brave to bear that all pain by yourself, but I- I am not brave like you." A sob erupted and Taehyung choked on his words.

"Do you think I would be able to f- forget it?" He added as Jungkook was just staring at him silently, his hands stopped midway on the next words of the other.

"I- I will live with the same nightmare you were living with. You lost your parents the same day and I am truly s- sorry for that. I am also being selfish... b- but you were able to have 10 years of your life with them, full of l-love. I lost my mother before opening my eyes in this world.. and I never get the love of my father." Another choked sob stopped him.

"It's n- not making any sense but don't do it.." He again dropped to his knees and grabbed Jungkook's foot with his warm, trembling hands.

"P- please.. don't take l- law in your hands. I know he deserves punishment for his sin but not that way.. please.. please.. don't kill him. Don't kill him! You can kill me in his place.. but not him.. please. " The words were piercing like sharp knives in Jungkook's heart and the sight was giving him pangs, unbearable pangs.

Hyungsik teared up the way his son was begging for his life and was even willing to give up his own life for his safety, the same son he despised his whole life, he pushed his whole life.

Taehyung's whole figure was shaking with loud sobs, the jacket on his shoulder was long forgotten on the floor as it slipped away from his shoulders when he rushed to Jungkook's side.

The sudden chills started to hit his body and he trembled more.

"Tae- My son." Hyungsik started in a soft voice, the voice Taehyung craved for years.

Taehyung slightly turned to face him and the sight of the bruised face of his father hurt him more and he sobbed more, hands still gripping the fabric of Jungkook's jeans.

"Tae, don't say it. I- I can't hurt you." Jungkook finally breathed out after a moment of silence as he crouched down to grab him by his shoulders and helped him to stand up but Taehyung's head started spinning more and his ears started ringing.

The next second, he could feel some voice coming from his back, from his father maybe. He could only see the surprised and sort of satisfied expressions of Jungkook when his figure sway slightly as the weak body wasn't in the condition to hold on anymore.

Jungkook's attention quickly averted to him and he hold him more protectively. Taehyung saw his lips moving but he couldn't hear anything except for the ringing in his ears which was making him frown in distress. If he really wanted to listen to his Kookie, then why his ears were betraying him?

Jungkook's eyes widened when he saw a thin stream of blood running down Taehyung's nose.

"Tae!" He scooped him closer as the words of the doctor hit his brain.

"Damn! Tae.. TAE!" But his heart dropped when Taehyung's fight to keep his eyes open failed and his eyes shut closed as his body slumped down in Jungkook's arms.

Hyungsik's eyes also widened at that and he struggled in the strong grip of ropes.

"TAEHYUNG!!."

Jungkook wasted no time and quickly picked him up and rushed out of the basement.

"CALL THE DOCTOR.. NOW!" He ordered his men and lead Taehyung to his room and laid him down on the bed and quickly grabbed some tissue from the side drawer.

"Tae? Please open your eyes." He tried again but no use. Finding his heart leaping out in panic, he wiped away the blood that was reaching the other's lips now but his breath hitched when a new stream of blood rolled down. He was definitely panicking about the situation.

"No no no.. Tae!" He felt the blond was again burning up with a high fever and was breathing heavily. He cursed himself for not realizing before that the younger was still burning, well he was too much caught up in his revenge. Hiding his shaking figure under blankets, he grabbed the rag and cold water.

"I am sorry.. I am sorry Tae.. I am sorry." He ranted, wiping Taehyung's hands and forehead with cold water. The nosebleed wasn't stopping and this was making him more worried.

Finally, the doctor arrived and frowned at the little pile of blood-soaked tissues on the bin placed near the bed.

Jungkook gave him a worried look and pointed toward Taehyung.

"H- he. I don't know. Bleeding is not stopping.. his fever.. he is burning.. h-he -" Jungkook stammered badly, out of words.

"Calm down Mr. Jeon. Let me check him please." The doctor quickly rushed to Taehyung and Jungkook was clutching his own hair harshly.

He was warned about the blond's condition but he couldn't even control himself for a single day, but he was helpless too, his heart was hurt for years, too hurt that he was blinded by that for a moment. He was cursing himself for his actions even when he wasn't clear at the fault, maybe he was, but he was not completely at fault, it was a fault in his fate, a fault in both of their fates.

"I think it's better to take him to the hospital. He needs some tests." The doctor explained and Jungkook nodded and grabbed his phone, picking Taehyung up again not before covering him with a long coat.

On the way to the hospital, his heart was thumping loudly in his chest. He wasn't ready to hear something bad.

When they reached the hospital, doctors quickly took Taehyung to a room and stopped Jungkook at the door.

Yoongi and Namjoon got the news of the whole thing happening in the basement and they quickly rushed to the hospital and found Jungkook sitting on the floor, his hair disheveled in every direction as he was still gripping over those strands.

"Kook!" Yoongi shook him by his shoulder and the said male looked up with his broken eyes.

"H- he-" Jungkook choked as Yoongi hugged him, rubbing over his back.

"He will be fine.. don't worry." Namjoon sighed at the sight of the broken boy.

"I hurt him again." Jungkook croaked, voice muffled as he was nuzzling in Yoongi's chest like a child. Yoongi sighed and continue rubbing his back.

"He would hate me n-now. He hates me"

"Don't say like that. Ok." Yoongi said a bit frustrated. He assured Jimin of the safety of Taehyung here and now the blond was fooking admitted to a hospital.

"He will be fine." He again mumbled to himself, a little bit of hope to lessen the guilt which was bugging him for months.


The doctor informed them that Taehyung's body was suffering from the reaction to the drug and the stress added to it and caused it all. They suggested keeping Taehyung in the hospital for a few days, till his fever subsides.

The night was like 100 years long, making a lot of people restless and on top of it was Jungkook. Taehyung didn't open his eyes the whole night and Jungkook was patiently waiting for him to wake up.

It was already morning when Taehyung frowned in his sleep and jolted wake up on the bed. His breathing was heavy and his eyes were unfocused.

Noticing that, Jungkook quickly marched to him and grabbed his both hands but Taehyung yanked them away and mumbled some words under his breath.

"I told him to stop.. he killed him. He killed him.." Jungkook's eyes twitched at the words and he tried again to calm the other.

"Tae-"

"NO." Taehyung screamed and covered his ears. Jungkook heart was hurting so badly as he teared up again with his already puffy eyes.

"You killed my f- father.." A broken voice came out of Taehyung's lips as he looked up at Jungkook and with his shaky hands he grabbed Jungkook's collar, giving it a weak pull.

"I-- I told you. But you still killed him. You killed my only family Kookie." The pain in those words was doubled for Jungkook. Taking hold of his painful heart, he sadly smiled and took Taehyung in his embrace by surprise, the latter struggled a bit but gave up soon due to his weak attempts.

"I didn't.. I couldn't sweetie. He is alive." Jungkook softly said after gulping thickly and Taehyung quickly backed away and looked directly in eyes of Jungkook who smiled again, wiping Taehyung's tears with his thumb.

"But I saw you-"

"It was a nightmare.. forget it dear. I didn't take law in my hands but he gave in to the law." Taehyung squinted his eyes in confusion and sniffed slightly. Jungkook kissed his forehead so gently, his few tears fell on Taehyung's hair, licking his lips at the sight of the pale face of his beloved he nodded lightly. 

"He gave in to the police by his own will. But he is willing to see you once, before going to jail." Jungkook explained as he recalled the words of Hyungsik that Taehyung missed before fainting. The words that caused a rush of relief in Jungkook's soul...

"Hand me over to the police... I will admit all of my sins."
