"I won't lie and say that I don't know why I did those things to you or what went through my mind. But how I wish you could forgive me and give me one more chance.I didn't mean to break your heart "
If Jungkook had known the kind of person Taehyung was he wouldn't have loved him back then. Not that anyone had ever guesed about the howling loneliness inside.
"You are asking for too much Taehyung. More than me I think my sons would be heartbroken the most when they get to know what happened back then. They wouldn't want to see you. And the truth is Taehyung, you are dead to them. They don't know you exist. Only if you had trusted me "
"Being without you will tear me apart when I know how it could have been. I swear I will be there "Taehyung squeezed Jungkook 's fingers tightly.
"Did you ever look for us even once? "
"I couldn't I was so ashamed of myself. I knew you wouldn't want to see me. But now as long as I live I will love you. You are my every reason. You are all that I believe in."
Jungkook 's head started spinning. "Dare you to get me side tracked. Do I look easy to you. I'm surely going to divorce you "
"Maybe if you give me a valid reason as to why I should let you go.I might think about it "
"Like seriously Taehyung. You are living with another woman in our home "
"Are you jealous "
"Madly and utterly. I'm going to demand so much alimony that you would be left penniless and you won't be able to recover from it"
"Should I take it that I'm forgiven?"
"I don't know Taehyung. If I forgive I will feel as though I have betrayed my kids. You understand don't you? "
"So can I count on it?"
"Whatever floats your boat.Back to the reason why I'm here "
"Child maintenance? "
"Yeah that. They are starting elementary school and I don't have any money. We moved here yesterday. Min ho needs a piano and Min Jun needs a violin. "
"Sure whatever you need. Everything will be taken care of."
"You have to understand that it would take some time to see them right? .I just can't tell them that the father I told that was dead is actually alive "
"I understand. Just being given the chance means a lot "
"Taehyung? "Jungkook 's tone was serious.
"Yeah baby"Taehyung replied
." Six years is really a long time. If I ever find out that you cheated on me even once I'm going to kill you. You still have time to get rid of those girls in your phone "
"Does that mean we can smooch? "
"Not too soon. I'm not that easy. You took a kiss from me without my permission ealier and I'm sure your baby mama wouldn't like it"
"Baby mama?"Taehyung laughed.
"You should eat more Taehyung. You are so skinny. Everyone is blaming me for it.It ain't cool "he frowned
"I'm not. Only my face is"he pouted.
"Same thing "Jungkook sang
"And you look the same way you looked when you were eighteen "Taehyung said as a matter of fact.
"Since you are flirting with me I guess I should go .I need to look for a job.I'm so done with your sarcastic remarks "
"Aren't you going to give me your number so we can chat "
"First clean up your phone and then I will think about it"
"Come on there is nothing in there "
"If you are that confident give it to me right now "Jungkook asked daringly.
"Actually it's in my room. Let's go and get it "
"No thanks. Who knows what you might do to me there.Are your cheeks feeling better. I didn't mean to slap you.My hand kinda slipped. I'm sorry "
"I think I like this kind of you even more. "Taehyung remarked.
"I should be going now, Mr Kim. "As Jungkook pulled his hand from Taehyung 's grasp he noticed that the older still had his wedding band on.It made him wonder where his was?
Jungkook got up to leave and Taehyung got up as well.
"Jungkook,I know that a lot of time was wasted between us and I'm really sorry. Let's try not to waste anymore time and move on along.We ain't kids no more "
"Speak for yourself. I'm still young enough to have another baby "Jungkook blurted out only to regret it later.
"Are you suggesting that we have another one? "Taehyung asked with a playful grin.
"Oh come on.That slipped. I'm in my thirties and I will probably go through table death. Don't get any ideas "
"Having a daughter that looks like you would be a dream come true .She would have the most beautiful eyes "
"Just, shut. Up"
"Okay, I'm joking. On a serious note it's nice to see you again and I'm terribly sorry for everything I did "
"For the things that you did not say ,Taehyung "
"I stand corrected "
"I have to go "
"I will see you out "Taehyung offered
"No , you don't have to.You were probably busy with something before I came "
"Nothing can be more important than you right now. You don't know how happy I am right now"
"I will believe you "Jungkook said
sarcastically as led the way put of the study. Taehyung was checking Jungkook out as he walked ahead of him .Jungkook could feel the older 's eyes undressing him .
"Okay, I will be leaving now '
"Wait weren't you curious about something? "
"What Taehyung? '
"I want to introduce you to someone "
The same woman came over to them.
"Jungkook this is my cousin and niece Jennie. They are visiting for a while "
Jungkook looked at Taehyung incredulously.
"You don't seem to believe me "Taehyung whispered.
"It's nice to meet you Jennie "
"Same here Jungkook. I finally get to meet you. I have heard so much about you "
"All bad I guess "
"No Taehyung hasn't said anything bad about you. I have never seen anyone so crazy about the person he loved "
"He was just being nice. I really did some alwful things. Anyways since you are here please make sure that he eats and dosent set foot in the gym"
"Do you want me to turn into a pig?"Taehyung whispered.
"Why would I do that when you are now here. He doesn't even listen to me "Jennie scowled.
"I have kids to take care of and that makes my hand full. Taehyung learn to listen to someone for a change "Jungkook scolded.
"Yes, sir"
"I really can't wait to see the twins. When are you guys coming home. I will keep Taehyung company till then "
"I'm not sure but it's not going to be any time soon. There are some issues that need to be sorted out "Jungkook was now looking at Taehyung with soft eyes.
"If you say that she will never leave "Taehyung whispered.
"I heard that. Either way I'm staying. You are really an ungrateful brat Taehyung "
"Bold of you to say that .I have been housing you for as long as I can remember "
"Oh hello. I was actually doing you a favour. You looked like you were dying out of loneliness "
"I have to go."Jungkook whispered.
"Wait I will walk you out "Taehyung insisted.
"I don't think you guys will ever finish this up.I have to get to the Chinese embassy before it gets closed "
"Don't worry about Taehyung and I .We do this a lot. Trading insults is our favourite past time. We can always continue from where we left off"
"You guys are ridiculously unbelievable "Jungkook laughed.
"Shall we "Taehyung subtlely placed his hand on Jungkook 's waist only to get it slapped away.
"Bye Jennie. It was nice meeting you "
"Same here "she smiled.
"Can I ask you something. I don't mean anything wrong about this. I'm just wondering if you know someone named. Jeon Jin Young ?"
"Unfortunately I do.How would you know that. ?"she couldn't bear to have this conversation.She could burst into tears but her curiosity got the best of her.
"Your daughter looks like him and he is my older brother "Jungkook confessed.
"What? You can't be serious. It's just unbelievable "
"I know right. But he has another daughter the same age what happened? "
"They are twins. We decided to keep one each "she wryly confessed.
"What a small world world, Jennie.You haven't told me about him. I'm your cousin aren't I,?.Jungkook do you know what happened? "
"Shall I tell him if you don't mind. I only heard my brother 's side of the story. "
"I will tell you. Your brother might have twisted some facts.We were working together on a case and one night we went on a stake out. One thing led to another in that car.We were a tad drank.A month later I discovered that I was pregnant. That wasn't the worst part. I was actually engaged to someone else .I told him and he broke up with me and your brother, everyone knows that he dosent do commitment. He is almost forty one "
"I'm really sorry but don't lose hope. He will take responsibility. You will surely be suprised. "Jungkook went and kissed his alleged niece.
"So very soon I will be sending you to the Jeon resident? You are too dumb for a lawyer "Taehyung remarked and Jennie glared at him.
"Bye."
"You have said that about twenty times already and I'm not sure you actually want to leave me "
"Keep telling yourself that "
At the end of the day Jungkook was now aware that not only he was suffering but also Taehyung was. He had always known that Taehyung had issues. Somewhere along the line Jimin had opened up to him about Taehyung 's suicide attempt in high school. It didn't make sense until Taehyung made himself vulnerable.
