Destined To Be

Felt Like Winter

Jungkook’s eyes are already droopy, he just cannot believe what has happened. His dream that he worked on for so long to make it a reality is shattered in minutes. The price of his shares went down within a few hours and his company was banned from conducting any more business. He was tired and felt empty inside. He was taken into custody and he saw Suga Huyng and Jimin Hyung outside. His eyes were looking for Tae just to get comfort but he was nowhere to be seen. 

He refused to eat anything and he was sleepy. He visibly looked exhausted, both mentally and physically. He looked at his hand that was cuffed to the chair and a teardrop left his eyes. He has lost everything, other than his Tae. He wanted to run in his arms and cry like a baby but he was quite sure that it wasn’t possible at his point. 

Jungkook got startled when the door of the investigation room opened. It was Suga who was being accompanied by a police officer. He could see the emptiness in Kook’s eyes but he was sure that Jungkook would never ever do such a thing. 

“Jungkook, the personal details of more than 2000 of our clients were leaked and it was used for illegal activities. Plus there was also a transaction recorded on one of your personal accounts from the arrested frauds. You understand that the situation is tight, right? Though at this point I cannot do anything, I am trying to bail you out as soon as possible.”

Kook’s eyes were still empty; he just stared at his face with no emotion. He never ever imagined this situation ever. Suga could not take this anymore and he left. The police officer wanted to interrogate Jungkook but he did not understand how to.

“Sir, please cooperate with us. Can you give us the details of this account? Who handles it or any other similar information?” He asked and handed him a piece of paper. Jungkook recognized his account. It used to be his personal account and now it is handled by Tae.” 

He was not ready to believe that Tae betrayed him. Probably it is someone else. “Officer, can you give me the date of the initiated transaction?” The moment he was informed about the date his heart almost stopped beating. That time Tae was working with him. One thing he could not understand was “why”. After some more questions he was left alone in the half-dark investigation room. He was getting anxious; he wanted to ask Tae about what was going on? 

The night was painfully long and he kept on falling asleep and jolting awake after the next moment. His body was aching but he was not taken to the rooms where other prisons stay. It was barely dawn and the silence of the new day was broken by two people who are still in shock and cannot collect themselves about everything that happened yesterday. 

“Jungkook, let’s go home for now. Thank God, I could bail you out. Omma is no more,we need to go there fast.” Jungkook lifted his head and shock was written all over his face. His eyes were already red and now tears started streaming down his chicks. His mom is no more, but he was yet to tell her how much he loved her. For Jungkook, his world almost stopped. 

“Where is Tae?” This was a question that was revolving in his mind since yesterday and how he expected an answer from Suga. But he was looking uncomfortable at the mention. “I will tell you, first let’s go to the car.”

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hyung, is he alright?” Suga tried to avoid this question a few times but Jungkook kept on repeating it. He found it normal, afterall he will want the person he loves the most at this hard time. He thought that Jungkook has every right to know what has happened. He pulled the car to the side, “Jungkook, Omma did not die naturally. She was murdered and the killer injected her with poison. My investigation team collected the footage and it…the silhouette and clothes matched Taehyung. Though I still don’t believe it, he was not at home at that time. He was not also with us in the hospital.” His answer shocked and silenced Jungkook. He trusted Taehyung. He fell in love and decided to open his heart to him and he betrayed him like this. He destroyed his career and also his mom…Taehyung also took his mom away from him.

Jungkook was fuming, “Where is he now?” His tone almost scared Suga. He has never seen Jungkook in this state. “My people found him drunk at a pub. We took him to one of our farmhouses. Jimin does not know anything. So please, don’t reveal anything. His condition is still fragile.” 

The sudden calmness in Jungkook was terrifying, “No worries Hyung. I will not do anything to hurt him. But, I want Taehyung all for myself.” Though Suga saw everything and hinted that Tae was the one who committed those crimes, he was still not ready to believe that, “Jungkook, calm down. I think we should properly investigate everything, before we make any rash decisions. I see no motive for Taehyung in harming you. What will he gain from these? Especially when he loves you so much.”

Hearing the word “Love” tears streamed down Jungkook’s eyes. He felt bad for himself. Probably he never deserved love. But, he wants to talk to Taehyung. He wants to know why he has done this to him.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Taehyung woke up, the room felt odd. He could not remember what happened to him. The stinky smell and darkness reminded him of his first day in Seoul. He tried to move, but he found his hands to be handcuffed. He was totally confused at this point. Suddenly a blinding flashlight landed on his face. A man almost dragged him to a room…he was now sure that it was the same place where he was taken for the first time. He was again thrown on the ground, but this time, there were three people in front of him. One of them is very dear to him and he is tempted to see love in those eyes, but now they are blank.

“Welcome home Taehyung. Why do you think you can get away with everything?” Jungkook’s voice sounded cold as ice. “I haven’t done anything…”Before his words end, Mr. Jeon interrupted, “This is the same dialogue said by every criminal. This is the first thing they say.” “Why Tae, why?” The disbelief in Jungkook’s voice broke Taehyung. He could not collect the words to speak and Mr. Jeon replied in his stead, “He wanted revenge. I mistakenly tried to mess up with his life and now he is back ruining ours. He never loved you, he just acted like that to win your trust and take revenge.” Mr. Jeon's eyes were shining in anger and Tae could see the hatred. 

“You could have just stopped after ruining my reputation, my company. I would have spared you. But what did my mum do to you? I saved your parents and sent them to a safe place and you just…took her life?” Jungkook could not speak more, he choked on his tears.

“What mom? I…I..omma. Omma is no more?” He was silenced by Mr. Jeon, “You used the perfect amount of poison. Last time, you could not kill her using her allergies and now you are successful. Bravo!” His silence irritated Jungkook even more, “If you love me, then why did you do this to my mom. Why my mom?” Jungkook broke down. Jihyun who was standing by Mr. Jeon had his eyes fixed on the shaking figure of Taehyung, “Perhaps he never loved you.” 

He gave him a bunch of photos and Jungkook froze, it was naked Taehyung in the embrace of a man. They were cuddled on the bed. Taehyung’s soft hair was making him sinful and that was making Jungkook even more furious. How he saw Taehyung was also seen by someone else? There were other sets of pictures where the same man was seen beside Taehyung in the shopping mall, park, and  pub. 

“Now everything is making sense. O so this is your lover? You could have said so. I told you, I will set you free whenever you will ask me to.” a bitter smile was on Jungkook’s face. Tae had nothing to prove his innocence except for his love for Jungkook. “I only love you Jungkook. I have never loved anyone else. You are my first and my last too.” “SHUT UP!!! Don’t bring the word love on your filthy lips.” 

Jihyung handed his phone to Jungkook and played a voice recording; it was Taehyung, “Who loves Jungkook? I am with him for money and revenge. I only love you Zack. Let’s settle in Milan once we are done. Okay? I will break Jungkook so much that he will never ever be able to stand up on his legs. He will be FINISHED…HA ha ha.” The sound of laughter echoed through the basement and Taehyung kept his head down. At this point, he has understood that so much evidence was against him, that no words from him could prove his innocence. 

Jungkook was badly shaking and his voice sounded like thunder, “Take him away from my eyes. I never ever want to see your face Taehyung. I hate you.”

Author's note: Sorry for this late update. Wanted to update a lot earlier but got caught up in something personal. Hope this long chapter is accepted as an apology. Please give it love. Thank you for reading. And like always, stay happy and healthy. 💜

Edit: I never properly mentioned that Jungkook was bailed out by Suga and there it might be confusing for the readers. So I added it 🙂
