Chapter 17: Hyde, Jekyll and me

          It's been exactly 3 days since Taehyung decides that he should act like a better husband and decided that he needs to be with me 24/7.

That means that he's been coming out and in of the room since you decide to forgive him, he was determined to make you comfortable as possible.

Hence why the couple of days you've been spending with Taehyung you couldn't do anything suspicious, but with Taehyung by your side, the others were nowhere to be seen, not even Namjoon or Yoongi.

'Taehyung... where is everyone?' you ask him who was dozing off in your lap as you gently massage his scalps.

'Oh... I think they are preparing for something,' looking at him, who was dozing off, you poke him.

'What stuff?'

'It's going to be Jungkook's birthday in a few days and Namjoon wants to throw him a party,' you look at Taehyung amaze, how is Jungkook that he gets to have his birthday party.

'He gets birthday parties and all of you don't?'

He shrugs,' Kookie is special, he's the youngest of all of us, he had it hard all of his life, we are the only people he has but now he has you too.'

'Yeah... I guess.'

'How old is he?'

'He'll be 24 this year, my kookie is getting older.' He smiles lovingly, that smile he has for the boy, something he hasn't given you, his wife.

You look at Taehyung who was dozing off yet again in your lap, you look at him and you couldn't help be compel by his beauty, he could easily wind handsome face of 2020 if he wants too, he was perfect.

You were even smiling at how you both were sitting, you almost do look like a couple, a new wed.

But yet again you couldn't help to remember secrets he's holding.

A knocking on the door suddenly erupted in the whole room. Speaking of the devil, Namjoon comes strutting in the place as Taehyung sat up.

'Taehyung, I didn't expect to see you here' Taehyung stand up as he bows down at Namjoon, who nods in return.

'I was just spending time with my wife –' he held you closer as his grip tighten, a habit he likes to do over the time you had stepped into the place –' my love has forgiven me for my wrongdoings and I'm just showing how sorry I am.'

Namjoon looks at you for a moment and you decided to play along with Taehyung,' Yes, I have forgiven him, he's my husband and he told me the reason why he's acting like that, I forgive him for it.' Not really.

'Well, I'm glad that all of you resolve all of your differences and I hope that also on behalf of Jimin you forgive him.' Right, Jimin. You didn't really see him since the accident.

'Right, Jimin... I hope he does apologize by himself, I'm a person who doesn't do passing apologies.'

Namjoon smiles and nods,' I will tell him that, Thank you for being understanding.'

'Namjoon, what brings you here? Don't you have a party planning to attend?'

'Yes, well I'm here since I'm searching for some slackers –' Namjoon eyebrows gaze at Taehyung who held no emotion but nods regardless.

'Don't worry I will be helping as well, I just ask for some time with my love.'

Namjoon looks at him and nods,' Yes well, I'm not expecting you here since I was not searching for you.'

Namjoon's gaze suddenly averted to you.

'I would like to speak to you, walk with me,' he said before extending a hand for you to follow him, not really getting what he wants but you knew he has answers, valuable answers for the loss of time you had to spend with Taehyung.

You were ready to shimmy your way out of Taehyung's cobra grip when you were pulled back by the same man who was dozing a few minutes ago. His soft delicate feature was replaced with a hard cold gaze.

'I don't think she should go anywhere,' you look at Taehyung.

'Taehyung what are you -'

'Love, I don't think you should be going anywhere near Namjoon,' you were surprised with the way Taehyung had act; he was like Namjoon's pet. He always listens, why not now?

'Taehyung –'he chuckles –' that's rich coming from someone like you –'

He was chuckling before his eyes were set on the latter –' do I need to remind you who you owe to?'

Namjoon was getting impatient by the looks, you didn't really want to know what would happen if Namjoon would blow a fuse, so you try to untangle yourself out of Taehyung, for the greater of your sake and for Taehyung.

But yet again he held his place and kept a firm grip on you and you couldn't help to see Taehyung's eyes was cast down, afraid his action would bring bad things in his way but he was still not letting go.

'Kim Taehyung! Know your place in this system or I won't hesitate to put a beggar on the streets again.'

Namjoon's threatening voice emitted to the room, you were expecting Taehyung to let go since that is what he's been doing, but it was different this time.

'Love, please don't go...' you were confused by Taehyung's behavior and you were conflicted in staying or go.

'You promise you wouldn't leave me.'
