Demon or not, she owns his heart
Author's POV
Driving towards the hospital he was excited to take her back into his arms. Everyone greeted when Taehyung entered. He had his never ending straight face nevertheless it could not stop the woman's burning gaze into his handsome face. He was aware of their gazes that made him clench his jaw and further tighten his expression. He passed them a hard glare and continued his confident steps towards the staff's cabin. The Doctors and nurses knew about Taehyung's nature so they diverted the female patients by asking them random questions.
But here, they missed the eyes of a nurse who was practically eating him with her eyes. She was a new joinee and was a curvy chick whose eyes never left him. Taehyung didn't bother because he neared his girl's door. The only eyes he wanted were his wifey. He sauntered towards his lady love, Aria's cabin finally reaching the door. When his hand was about to reach the door knob, the door flung open by Aria. An immediate smile took over their lips as he immediately crashed his girl into his arms grinning. She giggled when he kissed her cheek with love. They pulled away with a happy face. Taehyung held her coat and handbag ready to leave. He was stopped when Aria turned around and fixed her stern gaze on the nurse.
"Look Ms. Keaton, if I ever see you gawking at my husband I swear that would be the last time you would step inside this hospital," threatened Aria.
"Ma'am, no," she nodded her head no.
"I am warning you once again, it could be great if you keep your greedy eyes to yourself. Apologise to him and leave," she said, folding her hands as an intimidating aura flashed across her, making the other woman shake in fear.
"Sorry Mr.Kim and Mrs. Kim," she said, lowering her head with embarrassment.
"Make sure you never repeat this," she said. The nurse nodded her head still with her lowered eyes. Every Other staff member had an expression of bafflement. Everyone knew Aria to be straight forward and arrogantly rude sometimes. This was beyond their imagination. Within seconds she caught the girl red handed and warned her infront of everyone. It was a petty issue but her actions were serious. Though some had secret jealousy
and hatred over this stubborn woman, her boldness made them admire her.
All this while Taehyung stood stunned and watched the scene unfold with widened eyes. Aria amused him more. He was proud to call her his wife. None can spare a glance at him when she is around. She casually hooked her hands with his and started walking with a smile.
"Taetae, get me chocolates please," she said pouting to him which made him pass her a giddy smile.
"Sure baby."
He pecked her forehead holding her by her waist, as they continued to make their way to the parking lot.
Reaching the door, Taehyung held it open for her to enter. She hopped in while Taehyung went around to enter the driver's seat. The amusing happy smile never ceased his lips that made Aria confused. She asked him," What's special hubby?.
" You are one of a kind Aria," he mused.
"I know that already. Is that what made you smile?" she asked with a sweet smile.
" How did you know that?"
" Know what?"
" That nurse...you know?"
She started to laugh, making him giggle.
"Of Course it's my duty to keep my treasure away from dirty eyes honey," said Aria smirking while her eyes were on his face.
Taehyung chuckled, while his neck was growing with a red hue as he glanced at her smiley face.
" You were looking like a possessive CEO from a novel," he said with a look of mirth.
" Woah! Is it like, only the male leads should be possessive? Oh my hubby, please don't tell me you expected me to act like the other female leads of a story. Allowing the girls be cosy or eye rape her husband or boyfriend. I put every bimbo at check who admires my man. Who ever may be I would gladly pluck the girl's eye out if they do it," she said sardonically with a serious threat underlying.
" Of Course honey, I know my wife is a special edition of HIS UNTAMED HEART, Kim Taehyung' brat," said Taehyung smirking while Aria blushed. (Author's touch)
They reached his dad's mansion after a 45 minutes drive.
In Kim Moon Hwo's ( Mr.Kim ) mansion
Mr. Kim was happy to see Laila and they shared some of their past memories. He consoled her about her loss and later talked about business diverting her mind.
They heard footsteps nearing his room. They darted their heads towards the door and a genuine blissful smile carved his lips when he saw Aria. He immediately cooed with happiness,
"My daughter." Aria entered the room with a beautiful smile, beside her entered a grinning Taehyung. He could never thank his dad less who made this girl enter his life. He would be forever grateful for that. Not that he would have let her go after meeting in the party after years. But his dad made it easy to claim her as his wife. He gave his heart to her though he, himself, wasn't aware at first. Her possessiveness and everything about her made him love her more.
Mr. Kim made space for them to sit beside. She checked his reports and prescribed his drugs and chatted with them. Laila sat observing them with a smile. Taehyung was just adoring his woman.
She always made sure they paid their visits together to meet their parents. After recollecting all the memories and funny incidents they decided to have dinner together. Having to look at his son with a genuine smile on his face stopped the pricking sensation he felt all along these years.
The years he spent torturing his poor son made him regret so much where he once decided to take his life. But the promise he made to his late wife saved him. He also believed it was her to save him for their precious little boy. He was still in love with her and he will be in love with her till his last breath. He promised to be the one and only love for her and also promised that she would be the only woman of his heart. All the photos or her leaving him, never made him love her less or change an ounce of love he felt for her.
He changed for his late wife. He promised to protect their son till the end and make him smile. Though he was reckless and cruel during olden days, he let go of his past habits for their symbol of love, Kim Taehyung. The only way he could ever be able to make up to him was bringing love into his dark, soulless life. It pained him because he was the robber of his own son's happiness.
He punished his very own blood for something he wasn't responsible for.
Aria was his only hope to make his son fall in love. When Taehyung was little, he had always had his eyes on a little girl with small bangs and beautiful doe eyes. She was tiny and always immersed in playing with her Ben 10 toys and hot wheels. Taehyung was secretly attracted to the little girl who would eat chocolate in the most innocent way. It was none other than Aria. He stole glances at her every time he came to visit his Dad's friend Jun Jae. And he was certain that Aria would be the girl to capture his son's heart in the future. His prediction wasn't wrong. Now he could see his son who is head over heels for his wife, who was also his childhood crush. As Tae was very small and all the tragedies he faced, Tae couldn't remember Aria. Little did Tae know that he had a connection with her for years even without knowing.
Kim Moon Hwo, confessed everything to his best friend and seeked Aria's hands in marriage for his son.
Aria's dad Jun Jae was well aware of everything, and he knew Taehyung from childhood. All were closely bonded since their childhood. He trusted Taehyung and wanted to do something for his best friend. He knew his daughter. Though she was innocent, Jun Jae knew his daughter would manage Taehyung and tame him. She was always stubborn, determined, valiant and never easily giving up on anyone. Her father adored her never fearing trait, and he was proud to call her that she was his carbon copy. More than Jung Mi and Jae Min, Aria was more of him in almost everything. So of course he knew Aria would be the one to tackle Taehyung and challenge him.
Jun Jae felt he was also responsible for Moon hwo and Taehyung's state. He felt a need to pay back Moon Hwo. Also, he needed a guy to tackle his stubborn daughter. She was not only a carbon copy of his looks but also his traits. He had been stubborn since ages and only Aria's mom could melt him away and tame his stubbornness. Likewise, the guy for Aria, should be able to melt away his beautiful daughter's stubborn heart.
Now both the parents are happy. Their precious little ones had found their love of their life via an arranged marriage. What could be more blissful than this?
The pair took care of each other's needs and adjusted to their irrational habits. They did not always have the same opinions but what made them stronger was them respecting one another's opinions.
After some chatting they decided to have dinner at Mr.Kim's mansion. The table was filled with delicious foods tempting them in their own way. Aria felt her rats doing their dinner concert inside her tummy. They happily sat to dig in. While filling their tummies Aria got a call.
Kim Aria
I was digging into the yummy dishes without any care in the world. Taehyung got a call and he smiled looking at the caller id. I gave him a look.
He smiled and replied, " Your dad. "
Wooo pappa!
Taehyung smiled on call while I was eating like a dumb chicken. I paid attention to nothing.
Because I'm very sincere in eating. He handed the phone to me after greeting him.
"The call is for you," he said, smiling , forwarding the phone to me.
" Hey Dad," I chimed.
" Hello my little girl," he called me with love
" Had dinner pappa?"
" Yes my little lady. And now, where is your phone? I tried your number numerous times but never got answered," he asked.
" Sorry dad, my mobile is in the car. I guess I forgot to pick it up. Sorry," I said, pouting.
" Taehyung was right when he said you are careless Aria," my dad said in a tone of disbelief.
"Pappaaaa," I whined.
Aish! This moron! How dare he call me careless to my dad and like wow, my dad is taking his stand.
But Aria, he was right. You were careless since the big bang. With the things you have lost since childhood we can buy a house.
Argument dismissed!
Taehyung spoke when he saw me sulk, " Did he just call me right?" This handsome smirking moron!
"Also you missed this baby, you are careless and clumsy." he said grinning which almost felt mocking to me. I threw daggers at him and pinched his arm when he continued to laugh. Taehyung yelped due to the sudden pain. I smiled in victory. But it didn't last when my dad said.
"I agree with Tae," making her go red.
" Pappa, that's not fair. Is it anything important that you called to ask for?" I asked, trying to divert the talks. I can't hear Mr.Kim Taehyung mocking me for all he likes. Let him get home with me. I'll show him how careless I am.
" Nothing big dear. Tomorrow morning come to our office, I'll tell you then. Also tell Taehyung that I was just worried when you didn't pick my call. Take care of both," he said.
"Okay Dad, sure. Take care dad. Miss you and love you pappa," I said with a smile.
"Such a baby you are Aria," said Taehyung, making Uncle and Laila giggle.
"Of Course I'm my dad's baby girl. I love babied by him," I said with a proud smile.
"You are just too cute and hot Aria. You just roasted the girl in the hospital and now being a baby is getting hard on your poor husband," he said without an ounce of shame. He called me hot infront of his dad and God! How is he like this? He seriously needs a reality check that we are in his dad's mansion not in our bedroom. He was openly being all flirty making me a full time tomato with his remarks.
"You jerk, shut up. Come home deary, you gotta seriously need lessons on behaving you -- I was cut off when he pecked my lips, stopping whatever I was saying in the middle. Didn't I say he gets me flustered over him so easily with his words? And now he is proving that with his actions. They all laughed looking at my expression while Taehyung pecked my forehead again muttering I'm just too cute for him to resist me.
Uncle Kim said, " She is so innocent Taehyung. Just like your mom. She was also very shy and easily flustered, even after you were born," a sad smile with adore played on his lips when he said that.
I gave him a smile trying to push away the sadness making its way into our happiness. I felt Taehyung getting stiff hearing his words. His posture seemed angry but his face seemed calm. I saw him holding the fork too tight and his left hand turned to a fist. Why was he angry out of nowhere? To soothe whatever that was troubling him, I gently grabbed his left hand into mine and rubbed circles. He immediately calmed upon my touch.
We continued eating in silence and with straight faces. The vibe of happiness that was vibrant a few minutes ago was long lost into deserted thoughts. All that was heard now was the slicing sounds made by the cutlery. It's nice to eat without talking, but here it felt as though they were swallowing their emotions that needed to be let out. I glanced at everyone's face and found Uncle Kim looking at Taehyung.
He seems like he wanted to tell something to him at the same time he was trapped in his own dilemma, that was stopping him. And Taehyung was now fully focussed on his food, knowing Uncle's gaze focussed on him. And his left hand held mine tighter with his. I softly tried to pull away earlier nevertheless he protested my holding it tight to him. After that I never tried moving my hand out from his, instead traced random patterns.
" Aria, thanks for changing my son for good. His mother changed my ruthless ways and made me a man. And you are just as special as her, so pure and innocent to tame my ruthless son's hearts," he said with a smile. His face carried an expression that said he was happy that he let it out. He felt relieved telling this to me. I just gave uncle a smile mirroring him. But what I took no notice of was the guy next to me, who was livid hearing his words.
I turned to look at him when he let go of my hand suddenly and stared at his plate with hatred. We all were startled for a second when he let out harsh breaths, with his face redden with anger.
Damn! I felt this twinge in my heart when it alarmed that something good isn't waiting tonight.
I dropped my fork and held his reddened face with worry, making him look into my eyes. His eyes were raging with anger, hatred, worry, and his all time hooded emotions of fear, and desperation were peeking from the shore.
"Tae, you okay?" I asked in a low tone, with worried eyes. His actions did made dread fill me, that this night won't end well. Uncle Kim was too engrossed in his wife's thoughts that he wasn't paying attention to the tension rising up in the air and Taehyung's changing demeanour listening to his words. His words seemed to stir up something in his heart and he was losing his patience by now.
"Nayeon would be a very good mother in law to you, if she was here with us. She loved Tae-- he was cut when we heard the harsh hitting of the chair onto the marble floor.
Proving my fear, it was Taehyung to jlot up angrily from the chair with blood red eyes.
"What's wrong Tae?" Uncle asked with worried eyes.
"Stop talking about her dad," Taehyung lowkey growled at him as he slammed his hands onto the dining table, making us flinch and shoot up from our seats. It's luck that the table didn't break by the way Taehyung slammed the table. Tilting his head down, he scrutinised his eyes at uncle, who was burning with hatred and anger. I held his left arm and tried to control his outburst. But it seems like everything was in vain, as his demons overpowered him.
"What do you mean Taehyung?" Asked uncle as he raised from his seat. His eyes were mirroring Tae but instead of hatred they were sad and angry. He fixed his stern gaze on Tae and waited for him to speak.
"Stop it dad. And never! Never compare Aria to your wife. I mean it," he spat venomously, making uncle hiss at his choice of words.
"What the hell is wrong with you Kim Taehyung?" Uncle bellowed angrily. The smell of happiness that was vast and pleasant in the air was swapped with anticipation and antipathy. Uncle's eyes erupted like a volcano when he heard Taehyung.
"I mean it dad. Stop comparing my Aria to your wife. She is nowhere near her, never will be," yelled Taehyung, irritated. His features screaming maniac enmity. Uncle's face immediately saddened with pain(). His face paled and he looked astonished.
"Taehyung, I compared her to someone who I value more than my life," uncle said in a breaking tone that caught both of us off guard. Before Taehyung could continue I interjected saying," Stop it Taehyung. Just stop."
"Aria… he started but I shook my head with tears in my eyes that made him stop whatever he was saying. His eyes toned down for a brief moment. He removed himself from my hold and angrily strided towards the stairs.
Author's POV
Tears slipped Aria's eyes when she espied his retreating figure. Wiping the drained tears from her pale cheeks she neared Taehyung's father. He stood staggered with his son's outburst. Laila followed Taehyung and called out for him before he could enter the room.
"Taehyung," Laila called, stopping him in his tracks. He shot her a stern glare that made her gulp down.
She took slow and hesitant steps towards his outraged figure. Trying to engulf him in a hug, she softly spoke "It's okay Taehy---- but he interrupted her harshly, yelling," Shut up," that his voice boomed the entire mansion catching Aria's attention. She closed her eyes momentarily and took Taehyung's dad to his room. He sat on his bed and stared ahead of the large photo frame that held the picture of his wife. He stared at it mindlessly.
Laila came there after a few minutes. " I'll be here with my uncle. You go to him please. He is very pissed and rude. Calm him down Aria," said Laila in a scared tone. Aria nodded her head and headed towards Taehyung's room. Twisting the door knob that led to his room she searched for him. Stepping inside his room when she finally found him standing near his bed. She was faced with Taehyung's back, which was visibly stiff and tense. Hearing the door open and close he immediately roared," I don't wanna talk," thinking it to be Laila, but something in him snapped that made him turn around. His eyes glued to Aria's petite figure who stood with moist eyes and carried a worried expression. He didn't move nor talked but held her gaze with his. Little by little, his uneasiness settled when she neared him. When she was face to face with him, she made him sit on his bed. Following her actions he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her wordlessly. His gaze was incomprehensible. She turned towards the night stand to make him drink water. But her actions were stopped when he held her wrist scared that she would leave him. His cloaked expression was torn, and his eyes held horror. His demons vanish into thin air, making him feel unarmed.
Turning her attention back to him, his unforeseen petrified expression attacked her insides. Feeling her gut squeeze painfully looking at him, she embraced him from his demons. Holding him against her chest, he clinged onto her for dear life. All his dad's words running inside his head, that unconsciously made him tighten his hold around her. Interlacing her fingers with his hair, she kissed his hair every now and then. The pain he felt inside his heart was reflecting in his eyes that made him close his eyes, to shield it from her. He didn't want her to know that he got weak just with the memory of his mother. The truth was he still missed his mother's love but he didn't want her to know this. His anger over her breaking the promise she made him outraged everything. Every other emotion was bottled up into hatred.
When she sensed he calmed down, she pulled away from him slowly to look at him.
"I ain't going anywhere Tae. Just lemme get you some water," she said softly. He nodded his head and freed her from his hold. His eyes never left her figure until she sat closeby him, after filling the glass with water. She made him drink it slowly. Putting the glass away she turned to face him. Taking his hands in hers she spoke," Look Tae, I am not gonna ask you anything right now. But your behaviour with uncle wasn't something I would appreciate."
Hearing her, his face dulled a little more. He knew it was wrong to react the way he did with his dad tonight, but the terror of losing her overshadowed everything.
I could not take it when he said that Aria. You are never like her. She left him when he had no one. Nonetheless, you loved me knowing I never deserve a gem like you. She broke both of us. She broke my family. She destroyed her very own son's life. And here you are, building up my broken life with your love and care. Protect me with your everything. Standing up for me whenever I need you. Loving me without a barrier that I myself created with my flaws. I'll never accept any comparison when it comes to you. Especially with my mom. If he compares her to you, then that would make you leave me. If you were like her, that would make you hate me.
I scorned the idea of you being similar to my mom. My wife is my world, but he compared her to someone who spoiled my everything. I never want my Aria to be her. You will never be her baby, you're never like her, he thought all these to himself. He didn't voice all these distressing thoughts out. He just snuggled into her neck, holding onto her like she was his life line. And she happily welcomed him into her embrace.
Albeit him staggering with his past and his own demons, she would never stop embracing him. She knew his unleashed demons would never stop kneeling in front of her. The chains of love he had found with her, will pull him back to her either by hook or crook. Demon or not, she owns his heart.
