"Do you have to keep her handcuffed to the bed even when she is sick? Does she look like she can even walk without help? Let alone try and escape? She has been here for 6 years. If she wanted to escape, she would have tried it by now. Get that handcuff out of my sight", Taehyung grunts at the police officer, his glare threatening.
"Tae! It's okay. I am used to it", Mrs. Kim pats her son on his shoulder trying to pacify him but he doesn't stop glaring at the officer, "You know who I am. Don't you?"
"I do Sir, but I am sorry. These are the rules. We need to keep the prisoners in handcuffs for as long as they are out of their cells even if they happen to be in a hospital".
Taehyung lowers his gaze to read the badge on the officer's uniform, "Mr. Lee Ho-yang? Is that right?"
"Yes sir"
"The goverment won't reward you for keeping the handcuff on but you will offend Kim Taehyung for the same. I'll remember your name if you don't unlock the handcuff on my mother's hand and trust me Mr. Lee, you don't want me to remember your name.", Taehyung stares right into the officer's eyes making him gulp hard. He signals his subordinate to uncuff his mother's hand from the bedpost.
"Now leave us alone", he grunts. The officer and his subordinates immediately leave the two alone.
"You haven't changed one bit", his mother chuckles feebly.
"You have no idea how much I have changed since the last time I saw you Omma", he smiles warmly.
"When was it Taehyung? The last time you came to see me?", Mrs. Kim chokes on her words as tears threaten to leave her eyes.
"8 months, 16 days", he answers, apologetically.
"You remember?"
"Of course I do Omma. I think about coming to see you everyday and then I just...don't", he shrugs his shoulders slowly as if she was supposed to know all this already.
"Oh my beautiful boy! I have missed you so much", she breaks down in tears in front of him.
"Omma! Omma don't. Please. This is why I can never bring myself to come see you. My guilt consumes me yet again and then I see you sobbing in front of me and I just..It's just too much" , Taehyung takes a deep breath.
"How many times do I have to tell you to forget about your past and move on with your life Tae? Just live. Be happy. What is so difficult about it? I will be so much happier here if I know you are out there actually living your life, not stuck in your past.", she says patting his head gently.
"Omma how do you expect me to move on with my life when I know you have been stuck in a cell for the last 6 years because of something that I did?", he responds with teary eyes, "Everytime I see you Omma, I am reminded of how I ruined your whole life"
"My life was already destined to be ruined the moment I married him. It was my decision Taehyung, it's on me. I had to do this so that atleast you could have a life, but it's been 6 years and you are still stuck in the past. Are you going to let your life go to waste just like I did mine?"
"I told you to not marry him Omma. Didn't I?", he says glaring into the space, not looking her in the eyes.
She takes a deep breath as a tear drops down her eye, "I was in love Taehyung. I was blind. Maybe, someday you'll understand what love can make you do. It makes your life a bliss if you fall in love with the right person and makes it hell if you fall for the wrong person. I made a mistake. I fell for the wrong person. I know, you will not understand this yet but-"
"I do", he cuts her off.
"What?"
"I do understand what love can make you do"
"You do? Do you have someone in your life?"
"Yes Omma, I do", he smiles warmly, trying his best to not let the tears in his eyes out.
"Oh my sweet boy!",she struggles a little to sit back up on the bed, "I am so happy for you. Who is she?"
"He", he deadpans.
"Oh, the last time you told me you were dating someone was 3 years ago. That beautiful young lady. What was her name?", she asks trying to strain her memory.
"Hwasa"
"Yes, Hwasa. She was nice. I mean, from whatever you told me about her, she seemed nice but you broke up with her"
"And thank God I did", he chuckles.
"Why what happened?"
"She has found a new hobby lately", he smiles.
"What hobby?"
"Betraying me, collaborating with my enemy. Just the usual good girl gone bad drama", he chuckles.
"Are you okay? What did she do?"
"I am okay Omma. Just letting her play for a while until I am done with the other important things"
"Oh, forget it! Tell me about this boy you are dating. What does he do? How does he look? What is he like?", she asks him with shiny bright eyes.
"Jungkook", he responds in a heart beat, his eyes warm, "He is a software engineer in my company. He is cute", he chuckles softly.
"Oh is he? He must be really cute if he has my son blush like this"
"Omma I am not-"
"Show me his picture. How does he look? I wish I could meet him in person but.."
"Here", Taehyung shows her a picture from his phone, "I think Jimin clicked this when we were in my office".
"Oh dear Lord! Such a nice young man. His smile..it's so pure", her eyes getting teary again.
"It is. He smiles like a bunny. Makes my heart flutter everytime I watch him smile"
"And look at you in this picture. You look so happy around him", she gently touches her son's face as tears of happiness roll down her face, "I wish I could meet the man who can make my son smile like this". Taehyung holds her hand in his palms, "Maybe someday you will Omma"
"You intend to tell him about me and bring him here to meet me?", her face lights up.
Taehyung nods in response, "The man I am in love with deserves to meet my mother. Doesn't he?"
"You love him?", she asks with bright eyes and finds her son slowly nodding infront of her. Her tears forget all restrains when she finds out her son is in love. Maybe, this young man will be able to do what she never could. Maybe, he will be able to rescue Taehyung from his past and help him just live in the now. Maybe he can teach him to be happy once again.
"Sir visiting time is over. You will have to leave now", the officer enters again.
"I am not done talking", Taehyung glares at him.
"I am sorry sir. We can't help it. You will have to leave now. You can come back later for another visitation", the officer states matter of factly.
"It's okay son. I'll be okay. Try to visit more often?"
"I'll come back soon Omma. I promise", he pecks her hands gently and leaves the ward only to turn back once more when he hears the click of the handcuff locking.
.....
Taehyung walks into the hall to find Maria and Jungkook chatting with each other sitting on the couch. "Taehyung!", Maria stands up and speed walks towards him while Jungkook stands at a distance watching the two.
"Not now", Taehyung mumbles to Maria as he walks right past her to Jungkook and smashes his lips on his, pulling him close by his waist. He holds the younger's face by one hand while his other hand wraps around his waist. Jungkook hesitates for a moment because of Maria's presence around them but gives into the kiss as he figures out Taehyung isn't going to let him go. He wraps his arms around his boyfriend's neck and tilts his head to deepen the kiss. Even though, Jungkook has roughly known him for only a couple of months, he can easily tell how Taehyung is feeling at the moment, just judging by the way he is kissing him. He can already tell by the intensity and the urgency of the kiss that Taehyung is extremely distraught about something so he lets him do whatever he wants before he gets breathless and pulls away.
Jungkook tilts his head a little to peak at the spot Maria was standing to not find her there anymore, "See? You scared her away", Jungkook chuckles trying to catch his breath, "Where were you hyung? I have been waiting for so long. I want to talk to you about something"
"Not now", Taehyung whispers, his voice has a sense of urgency. "Come with me", he grabs Jungkook's wrist and takes him up the staircase and into his bedroom before latching the door from the inside. As soon as he locks the door, he pushes Jungkook against a wall and starts to open the bottons of his shirt eagerly while his lips leave butterfly kisses on the youmger's neck.
"Hyung are you okay?", Jungkook whispers while Taehyung is busy stripping him.
"Yes", he grunts removing the younger's shirt altogether and throwing it across the room before he begins to trace every inch of his upper body with his large palms, "Fuck you're so pretty!".
"Hyung can we-can we please talk about something before we..."
"NO", Taehyung cuts him off before beginning to unbuckle the younger's belt and drops it on the floor, his lips back to kissing the life out of Jungkook. "I am in no condition to listen and understand anything important right now. Just let me fuck you baby", Taehyung whispers in his boyfriend's ear after he pulls away from the kiss. He gently pushes the younger down on the bed, now hovering over him, placing soft kisses on his veiny neck.
"Hyungie, what are you so stressed about?", Jungkook's voice is barely above a whisper while his breath hitches as Taehyung continues to kiss, suck and nibble on every inch of his body. "Talk to me..", the younger manages to continue, trying really hard to not let his brain shut off by the pleasure his body is receiving at the moment.
Taehyung raises his head back up and glares right into Jungkook's soul, "If you don't stop talking sweetheart, you are not getting any lube tonight", his face straight. Jungkook widens his eyes and gulps hard before nervously wrapping his arms around his intimidating boyfriend, not daring to utter any more words.
"Good", Taehyung seductively whispers in his boyfriend's ear, "Now close your eyes and let me make you feel good", a smirk forming on his face while the younger immediately closes his eyes waiting for whatever is going to happen to him next. He holds Taehyung tighly inside his arms clenching to his shirt when he suddenly gasps feeling Taehyung's hand enter inside his pants and grab his dick.
.....
Taehyung thrusts into his boyfriend rhythmically, moaning softly in his ear while Jungkook lies under him, arms around the older's neck and eyes glued to the ceiling. He blankly stares at the ceiling not feeling a thing while Taehyung continues to thrust into him. As much as he wants to enjoy his time with his boyfriend, he can't stop thinking about what he saw earlier today. The thought of Taehyung's bestfriend betraying him has been killing Jungkook inside. He has been dying to tell Taehyung what he saw today, wanting to warn him about everything that could go wrong with his lawyer against him. He is snapped out of his thoughts when Taehyung leaves his neck alone and raises his head to glare down at Jungkook, "Looks like you aren't enjoying it tonight?"
Jungkook looks up to face Taehyung and smiles awkwardly, " No", he whispers.
"NO?!", Taehyung yells in shock, "You don't like it?"
"No, no, I mean yes. Yes, I like it hyung, ofcourse I like it", Jungkook says holding Taehyung's face in his palms and pecking his plump lips.
"Then why are you so quiet? You'd be screaming my name by now if you really liked it", he says closely watching Jungkook's face, "Am doing something wrong?"
"Oh God no! You are not doing anything wrong hyung", his lips making a pout, involuntarily, "You always treat me so well".
"Then why aren't you liking it babe? I want you to feel good when I am making love to you. Tell me what's wrong. What am I not doing right?", Taehyung caresses Jungkook's face with his thumb.
"Hyung it's not you. I like it. I just- it's just-"
"Just what?", the older whispers continuing to slowly thrust into Jungkook.
"I have been thinking about something-"
"Thinking?", Taehyung stops for a moment, "Babe why are you thinking about ANYTHING when I am trying to make love to you here?", his voice sounds annoyed.
"I am sorry, I just can't help it. I can't focus on what we are doing right now. It's just- I don't know..", Jungkook says apologetically, drawing circles on Taehyung's chest.
The older takes a deep breath, "What is on your mind? Talk to me?", he pecks his boyfriend.
"Jimin hyung-", Jungkook is cut-off before he could say any further as Taehyung pulls out of him, discards the used condom, pulls his pants back up and sits back on the bed, glaring down at him, "YOU WERE NOT THINKING ABOUT JIMIN WHILE I AM FUCKING YOU JEON JUNGKOOK!",he yells at his boyfriend, sounding obviously mad and making Jungkook flinch, "Yes-No- I mean yes I- no not like that-", he stutters realising how bad he messed this up.
"Oh God I need some air!!", Taehyung grunts getting off the bed and wearing the rest of his clothes before he heads out to the balcony, "and don't do dare follow me Jungkook!", he lets the younger know that he wants to be left alone as soon as he sees him wearing his own pants and getting off the bed as well.
"Hyung please listen to me..I didn't mean it like that..I obviously wasn't thinking of him like that- hyung?!", Jungkook follows him anyway.
"I don't care HOW you were thinking about him Jungkook! No matter in how brotherly or saintly manner you were thinking about him, you are NOT supposed to be thinking about another man, another person when you are with me! Especially not when I am trying to please you in bed!", Taehyung yells at the younger, "Leave me alone for now! I need air!", he walks out to the balcony leaving Jungkook in the room.
Taehyung simply stands in the balcony leaning onto the railing for about half an hour just thinking about his day and trying to calm his nerves. His meeting with his mother left him stressed and full of guilt and now that he wanted to spend some time with his boyfriend, Jungkook ends up taking another man's name in their bed. He is mad. Not at anyone specifically but just at life in general. He feels bad for Jungkook. He feels bad for his mother. He has been hurting his mother for years and living in guilt. He ends up hurting Jungkook all the time as well. It seems like he ends up hurting everyone he loves. It was his mother before and now it's Jungkook. He takes a deep breath thinking about how he yelled at Jungkook just half an hour ago and guilt takes over his mind and body. He thinks about going back in and talking to him when he suddenly feels someone back-hug him, "I thought I told you to leave me alone?",he asks his boyfriend who is clinging on to him from the back.
"I did. I left you alone for 30 minutes. That's the best I can do. It's cold out here hyungie. Let's go in? You can yell at me all you want but come inside first", he pouts resting his head on the older's back.
Taehyung turns around to face Jungkook and hold him by the waist, "I shouldn't have yelled at you like that Koo, I am sorry".
"I thought about it and figured that I would be mad too if you took someone else' name while we are making love. I shouldn't have done that.. hyung I am sorry too", he wraps his arms around the older's neck, making a puppy face. He knows it works all the time, "Now will you come in and finish what you started?"
"Naah! I am not in the mood anymore", Taehyung deadpans, shrugging his shoulders.
"Hyungg..please..", Jungkook keeps his pouting game on.
"Think about Jimin all you want and when you are done, we will try doing it again. Some other time", Taehyung decides to tease his boyfriend.
"No, I am not thinking about anyone else"
"You are. I am thinking, now that you have officially killed my mood for tonight, you should just go ahead and tell me what you wanted to tell me. Something about Jimin?"
Jungkook's smile fades in a second, "Some other time hyung. Not tonight", he says pulling Tae a little more close.
"Why not?"
"Just.."
"When I ask you to talk, you don't and when I ask you to stop, you keep on talking. Tell me now. What was it?"
Jungkook sighs, "hyung..".
"Jungkook?"
"Do you trust him?"
"Who?"
"Jimin hyung"
"Why won't I?", he asks chuckling, "What's going on in that pretty head of yours babe?"
"I don't know. I was thinking, we never found out for sure who told Min Corp about us? So I was thinking about everyone who knew about us and..."
"..and?", Taehyung glares at the younger, "and you think Jimin could have done it?"
"This is why I am asking you hyung. Do you trust him?"
"Yes. I trust him more than I trust you", he deadpans, his face serious.
"Ouch!", Jungkook presses his lips together looking anywhere but at Taehyung.
"Sweetheart, look at me", he holds Jungkook's chin and turns his face towards him, "I trust you. Maybe more than I trust myself but I still trust Jimin just a little bit more", he smiles. "It might be Hwasa who did it, or maybe it wasn't her but it can't be Jimin. That's for sure. He has no reason to go against us and I don't trust anyone more than I trust him. Okay?"
"..okay I guess..", Jungkook tilts his head not looking satisfied by what Taehyung told him.
"Babe..he is my best friend, my brother. He would be the last man on the planet to betray us", Taehyung's voice a little sad, "I don't understand why my own boyfriend would doubt my best friend who has been with me for as long as I can remember. He knows everything about me. He has been there for me through out my life, however miserable it has been. After everything that has happened to me and after everything I have done in my life, if I turned out to be atleast half-decent, it's because of him. He means a lot to me baby, I might not show it all the time but he does. Remember when you said to me that you don't want anything more than you want Jin hyung and I to get along? Same goes with you and Jimin. It would kill me to see you doubting him as if he is a nobody. He isn't. He is my brother"
Jungkook has nothing to say. He just stands there, arms around Taehyung looking into his bright eyes. "You can trust him baby", Taehyung continues, "He will never betray me or you. Okay?"
Jungkook blinks several times and takes a deep breath before pulling Taehyung for a hug, burrying his face in the nook of Taehyung's neck, "Okay", he whispers in the older's ear. He holds his boyfriend close to his heart. The heart that breaks inside him looking at this man who has an undying faith in Jimin, who is out there collaborating with his enemy and betraying him. His heart breaks for Taehyung and a lone tear escapes his eye.
"I trust him if you trust him", he lies to his boyfriend the second time today before pulling away from the older's embrace and placing a soft kiss on his lips.
"Now will you come inside? I am freezing out here", Jungkook pouts and drags his boyfriend back inside.
"So....I really spoiled your mood. Didn't I?", Jungkook says, lying beside Taehyung on the bed.
"You did", he deadpans.
"Is there...anything I can do to make up for it?", the younger says hoping to fix the little mess he created.
"No. Not tonight"
"Please?"
"No sweetheart. Not tonight"
Jungkook scoots over to his boyfriend, hugging him, "hyungie please. I promise I won't do anything stupid like this again"
Taehyung pushes him back on the bed and turns to his side, now facing Jungkook, "You want me to fuck you baby?", he whispers seductively, eyeing his cute boyfriend up and down.
"Yes", Jungkook's hand roams over the older's chest, his own breath getting heavy.
"But if I do, I am going to be really rough tonight.."
Jungkook chuckles, "yeah sure", he says sarcastically.
"You think it's funny?", Taehyung raises an eyebrow.
"Yes it is. You become a softie when you are with me. It's a not a secret anymore hyung", he laughs out loud, "Baby? Are you okay? Do you need anything? Water? Pain killers?", he continues to tease the older.
"You think my care for you is funny?", Taehyung glares down at him making his laughter vanish.
"No. It's actually really hot", he smiles, tugging to the older's tshirt wanting to remove it, "Remove it hyungie, let me touch you". Taehyung pulls Jungkook to sit back up on the bed and removes his tshirt before removing his own. He then goes on to strip the younger completely before he strips himself too. He pushes Jungkook back on the bed, spreads his legs wide open and squirts more lube on him from a bottle which was already kept on the night stand from the previous use before sliding a fresh condom on himself.
He places himself in between the younger's thighs and subtly strokes his entrance with his dick making sure to not enter him yet. "Why are you teasing me like that hyung?", Jungkook's breath getting heavy.
"You don't think you deserve a little bit of tease for what you did sweetheart?"
"Hyung..please..", Jungkook whines as he feels his boyfriend's dick gliding over his hole.
Taehyung connects his lips to Jungkook's and then connects their tongues as well, hungrily tasting his boyfriend, his hands roaming all over the younger's body.
"Tell me baby, who will you think about when I fuck you?", he hisses pulling away from the kiss, still teasing him down there.
"You", Jungkook moans in his boyfriend's ear.
"Whose name will you scream when I fuck you?"
"Yours"
"Good", Taehyung plants another peck on the Jungkook's pout.
"God hyung please..stop torturing me like th-", Jungkook's sentence ends in a loud moan as Taehyung enters him in one swift motion. He thrusts into him in an inhuman speed, "Baby tell me if you-"
"Yes, yes I'll tell you if I can't take it, now stop talking hyung and fuck me", Jungkook manages to whisper, wraping his legs around the older while his eyes begin to roll back.
"You horny little brat!", Taehyung chuckles before he makes his boyfriend see stars.
.....
Jungkook lies beside Taehyung under the blanket watching him sleep peacefully.
"They would never think of as a cold and rude person if they saw you sleeping like this", he whispers, caressing the older's face who has long drifted off to sleep. "I don't know what you went through in your life. I don't know what you have done so far. Maybe you have hurt people. Maybe you have done things that I would never condone. Maybe I'll end up hating you when I find out everything about you. I don't know where our relationship will take us in the future but right now, in this very moment all I want is to wrap myself around you and protect you from anyone one who wants to steal your precious smile away. I want to take away all your pain and bring out the little happy child with shiny eyes from within you, the one I get to see sometimes when you laugh carelessly around me. I don't want to love you hyung..not yet.. but..", Jungkook doesn't finish the sentence. Maybe because he is afraid. Afraid he won't be able to deny it any longer if he hears himself say it out loud, even though his heart wants to scream it everytime he sees Taehyung's face. He cannot say it out loud. Not yet. He takes some deep breaths trying to control his emotions but it's too late. Tears flow down his cheeks as he places a gentle kiss on Taehyung's lips, letting a lone tear fall on the older's angelic face, "I won't let him hurt you hyung, I won't let anyone hurt you".
-To be continued...
