Ignore mistakes please

Third person P.O.V

The day was finally here... the day when the fate of Hyungsik was about to be decided by the Court. Taehyung shut the file of the new contract that he got from one of his old partners. He was happy that people were supporting him as the new CEO of the company as well as trusting him enough to have partnerships.

His phone buzzed and he read the message from Jimin.

Chim

'I am sorry Tae, I am still out of the station with Yoongi. I will see you in the evening. And don't worry, everything will be fine. Take my blessing 💜💜'

A small smile formed on his lips at the thought that at least his best friend got the person who actually cares for him and is happy. He put his phone in his pocket and sighed softly before putting that file aside and grabbing his coat to go to the court. He was not sad, instead, he was afraid.. too much afraid of what will happen in the court, and what the judge will decide for his father. He wasn't ready to let him go yet, because he was feeling selfish and wanted to be a bit happier but seems like his luck was playing with him.

"Ready?" He heard Jin's voice at the doorway and silently nodded. Jin patted his shoulder, a gesture saying that it will be ok, however, both were aware that it can't be.


.......................

"According to all the proofs and the statement of Kim Hyunhsik, it's obvious that he is the culprit for the murder of Jeons." The judge said and grabbed his pen to write down the final verdict.

Taehyung was just staring at his father who had his eyes low, in shame. Jin slightly pressed his palm over Taehyung's shaking one.

"Tae, calm down please." Taehyung bit his lip in response, his legs were shaking furiously same as his hands.

"I-i am so afraid Hyung, what if-"

"In the light of all the proofs and statements, Kim Hyungsik is proved guilty and the court decides to punish him by hanging till d-"

"Wait!" Taehyung let out a breath that he was holding during the speech of the judge and turned his head to the right where a person was standing all in black, wearing a mask and glasses.

"I want to say something before you announce his punishment." The person said and pointed his finger toward Hyungsik who frowned slightly. Taehyung's heartbeat quickened as he realized the voice and saw Namjoon standing behind him.

Judge cocked his brow but allowed Jungkook to walk to the box.

Jungkook slowly removed his mask and glasses and Hyungsik's expression twisted but Taehyung couldn't comprehend the situation. He squeezed Jin's hand a bit harder to which the older yelped.

"You ok?" Namjoon quickly asked taking the empty seat beside Jin who nodded his head and faced Taehyung, who was a very visibly sweating mess by now.

"Tae?" Taehyung kept staring at Jungkook and he was hyperventilating with thousands of thoughts bugging his tired brain. Jin got worried and Namjoon also noticed Taehyung's condition.

Jungkook was saying something to the judge but Taehyung couldn't hear that. He was again hearing his own heartbeat in his ears because he was afraid that Jungkook was here to make it more worse for his father.

"Tae! Breath please." Jin whisper-yelled to the boy who was getting paler in seconds.

"Taehyung? What's wrong?" Namjoon asked softly but Taehyung shook his head.

"God. Tae! What should I do? Will they allow us to go outside? I don't know what's wrong with him?" Jin panicked and asked Namjoon who nodded and was about to get up but Judge's voice stopped him, who announced the final verdict after Jungkook's statements, and the court was dismissed.

Jin was shocked at the decision and looked up at Jungkook who was staring at Taehyung with so much concerned eyes.

"Tae? Did you hear that?" Jin asked softly as he tried to remove Taehyung's coat but the younger was covering his ears.

Jungkook couldn't stop himself and finally took big steps and Namjoon took the hint.

"Jin Shi. Can you accompany me for a moment, they need some time. Please."

"But Tae is not fi-"

"Believe me. He can handle it. Please." Namjoon pleaded and Jin gave in and just when he moved a bit away from Taehyung, Jungkook quickly grabbed the blond's shoulders and guided him away from the court, taking him towards his car.

Once he settled Taehyung in the back seat, he also joined him and Taehyung was now crying hysterically.

"H- he is going to d-die.. h-he.. he will leave me too. I hate m-my life.. I hate it.. I hate it." Jungkook felt a strong pang in his heart from the cries of the younger, finding every small sound piercing his heart all over again. He gently placed his hand over Taehyung's shaking shoulders and pulled him in a warm hug.

"He won't die. I- I f- forgive him." Jungkook mumbled as he choked on a sob. The only reason for his current life was revenge. But he let it go because he can't see an innocent boy suffering so much... that he never deserved.

Taehyung blinked away his tears to clear his vision and looked into eyes of the his holder. Those charcoal orbs filled with tears, the sadness that anyone could feel at the sight.

Jungkook smiled a bit and kissed Taehyung's forehead with so much affection. His lips lingered for longer than expected and when he pulled back, Taehyung felt the loss of warmth. His eyes hold so many questions and Jungkook decided to answer those all.

"I can't see you in pain. You were right that I had a chance to be happy with my family for 10 years, while you got nothing." Taehyung was sobbing by now but he just couldn't tear off his gaze because for now, Jungkook was looking more broken than himself.

"I was selfish.. I- I know that. All I did was horrible. I know, my presence must be so hateful for you.." Taehyung saw how Jungkook choked on the word hateful, and deep down his own heart hurt him at that. 

"B- but this was the least I could do for you. Giving you y-your happiness... that's why, I forgive him. He won't be receiving the punishment of murdering my p-.... my parents." Taehyung was caught off guard as the older of the two totally burst into tears... breaking in front of him as he did many years ago.

Taehyung was out of words, he could feel the pain the raven-haired was holding in his heart, the pain radiating through his tears and choked sobs.

Was he the only one getting hurt all this time? Was he the one who deserve this much concern? Oh God.. at this point, he was feeling the opposite of what he was feeling a few moments ago.

"K- Kookie?" He started in his shaky voice as his hand slowly reached the other's raven hair. Gently caressing those soft locks he felt nostalgic, the feeling was the same as years ago.

"Your hairs are still s-soft." He blurted out and Jungkook looked up at him with disbelief but when he saw the blond smiling at him... he gave him his unique smile.

"Y- your bunny teeth are also the same," Taehyung mumbled with a hiccup and Jungkook internally cooed at him. He couldn't stop his hands from going up and caressing the soft skin of Taehyung, gently wiping away his tears.

"Please don't h- hate me, Tata." His smile faded and the way he said those words, Taehyung recalled the confession he got at that night. He could understand, why the other was looking so insecure and broken because Jungkook was also afraid, afraid to be hated by someone he loves, and he wasn't unaware of that painful feeling.

When Taehyung didn't say anything but kept staring at Jungkook with a blank face, Jungkook retreated his hand quickly and wiped his own tears in a rush.

"I am sorry for everything once again, he will be staying in jail for a few years as Rose also filed the case and other charges are also there. I am sorry I can't do anything about that." Jungkook explained after clearing his thoughts and Taehyung felt sad when the hand moved away from his skin.

Jungkook turned back and opened the car door, moving to Taehyung's side, and opened the door for him as well. Taehyung moved out with a confused look and fixed himself. Looking around, he quickly found Namjoon smiling at Jin while walking towards them.

He heard a shuffling behind him and saw Jungkook sitting in the back seat, his mask and glasses were back on his face.

By that time, Namjoon came beside him and slightly smiled at him, and waved him goodbye before entering the car, taking control of the driving seat.

"I promise, this is the last time you are seeing my annoying face. From now on, you are free of a curse.. named Jeon Jungkook."

Taehyung's eyes widened as he realized that the other was leaving him but before he could respond, could say his true feelings, the older was gone.

"No.. NO! WAIT.. JUNGKOOK..KOOKIE!.." He screamed but the car already took a turn and he remained rooted on the spot, falling on his knees but Jin was fast to hold his slumping body.

"Hyung... he.. he left me." He muttered while Jin sighed as he recalled his little conversation with Namjoon.

"What does he want to do now? What's his intention?" Jin half yelled at the other guy who looked sad.

"He just wants to make Taehyung happy. He is regretting everything he did to him and the fact that they were childhood friends, is eating him alive. You have no idea how much difficult it was for him to take this decision. I saw him growing up with this aim, to take revenge for his parent's death.. and now, he just let him go.. just because of Taehyung." Namjoon said, with so much sadness in his voice.

"What's his next plan?" Jin asked out of curiosity. Namjoon sadly chuckled at it.

"Well. He thought that Taehyung hates him now for everything he did. He can't see that in his eyes, so he decided to leave him to have his normal life back. He is planning to leave Korea forever... to leave these bitter memories. But I am sure, he is leaving to make his life more miserable." Jin frowned at the words. The distress was clear in the decision and he felt something odd.

"Why he is doing that? Don't tell me-" Namjoon grabbed Jin's hand that was clenching and unclenching in frustration, taking the other by surprise. Both looked into each other's eyes.

"Because he is in love with Taehyung.. not as a friend...that's why he is willing to do anything for him even when he is going to be hurt."

Jin bit his lips harshly and scooped his cousin into his embrace, trying to soothe the pain the younger boy was feeling. He softly rubbed over Taehyung's shaking shoulders and said...

"I think it's better Tae... let him go."
