It was early the next morning that Nanny Ji hye took Jimin to meet Sara. She was an old single woman who had adopted many orphans as her children. Her act of Charity made her well beloved in the community.
When she saw Nanny Ji hye and Jimin standing in front of her door early that morning, her face was filled with happiness at seeing her old friend again after so many years.
"Ji hye!" She exclaimed.
"Sara" Nanny Ji hye answered embracing the woman tightly.
"It's been so long. Come in! Come in!"
She ushered the both of them inside the house. Ji hye immediately introduced Jimin to her and the woman looked at him with big round eyes.
"Jimin? Roo mi's son?" She stared at him with mixed emotions in her eyes as she held his hands.
"You definitely don't remember but I used to carry you a lot when you were just a baby"
"Your mother and I were very close. It's just after she died and your father remarried that Jezebel, I couldn't keep in contact with you. I'm sorry that I got too busy"
"It's okay" Jimin answered with a small smile.
"I hope you're doing fine"
Jimin simply hung his head. Sara noticed his sad disposition and stood up to serve them tea. Nanny Ji hye spoke up. "Actually Sara, that's why we are here"
"We need your help!"
"Go ahead, I'm listening" Sara said as she busied herself in her small kitchen.
Nanny Ji Hye continued"Sara, I heard that you usually go personally to deliver food to prison inmates every month"
Sara nodded. "That's right"
"Jimin's husband is locked in there and we need to sneak Jimin inside so he can see him"
The woman paused for a while looking deep in thought
"So you swing that way?" She said with a teasing smile. She then returned to them and served tea. After a while, she looked concerned.
"But why do you have to sneak into the prison just to see him?"
Jimin and Nanny Ji hye looked at each other for a moment before the latter explained the whole thing to Sara. Sara shook her head.
"This is really bad. You are in a very dicey situation right now"
Nanny Ji hye sighed. "That's why we are here. I know you give Prison inmates food supplies every month"
Sara nodded her head. "That's right but I just donated last week. It would be odd for me to visit the place again"
Nanny Ji hye held her hands strongly.
"Please Sara, you're our only hope. There must be something you can do for us"
Sara sighed and peered closely at Jimin.
"Of course I will help but we have to ensure that Jimin isn't discovered or the plan will be ruined"
She smiled smugly. "And I have the perfect disguise"
Suddenly, she noticed Jimin's pale skin.
"You don't look good son. I think you should go to the hospital"
Jimin shook his head. "I'm fine. My health doesn't matter now"
Sara simply shrugged after hearing that.
***********
Jimin followed the old woman carrying a bag filled with provisions and foods. His head was bent low and the long wig he wore covered his face. He smoothened the dress with one hand and took a deep breath as they both stopped in front of the jailer who few seconds ago looked deadly bored.
"Miss Sara!" The man exclaimed looking quite surprised.
"What brings you here. You're never here twice in a row"
Sara smiled gently. "I was feeling particularly generous this week"
The jailer nodded his head. "That's wonderful Miss Sara"
Then he peered at the petite lady standing behind her.
"What a lovely young lady. Who is she? You never bring anyone else with you"
The man looked curious and Sara instantly cleared her throat nervously.
"She's my niece"
"Niece?"
"Yes! She just returned from Seoul and insisted on following me here to visit the inmates"
The man stared at Jimin. "You must be a saint, wanting to come to such a place"
He narrowed his eyes. "what's your name?"
Jimin couldn't speak or his voice would give him away. Sara immediately interceded.
"I'm sorry but Angel doesn't speak much"
The man looked amused. "Angel?"
"That's her name"
The man simply nodded. Sara spoke quickly. "Can we see the inmates briefly. We won't be long. Just for a few minutes"
A big smile appeared on the Jailer's face. "How can I refuse you Miss Sara?"
He appeared more serious seconds later. "Only ten minutes" he said.
"Of course" Sara whispered and slipped a bill into his hand secretly. The man looked content. After dropping the food items, they both headed to the prisons. Jimin pretended to 'pray' for the prisoners as he carefully searched for Taehyung.
It wasn't until the fifth cell that he finally saw him curled up on the ground. He looked filthy but Jimin could care less. Nothing could compare to the joy he felt at finally getting to lay his eyes on him again.
Tears filled his eyes as he whispered loudly "Tae! Tae!"
The other inmate looked up from the bed he was lying on and stared at him with round eyes. He faced Taehyung and tugged at his shoulders.
"V, there's a pretty lady here to see you"
Taehyung shifted and raised his eyes. Immediately their eyes met, he could recognize him underneath the wig, underneath the dress and makeup.
"That's no lady" He whispered, his lips trembling. "That's him! My Jimin!"
He blinked his eyes looking like he was waking up from a dream. Slowly, he stood up and walked up to him. Tears were spilling down Jimin's eyes. He was sobbing furiously, his chest heaving.
"Is this really you?"
Jimin nodded. Taehyung reached for the dress he was wearing looking puzzled. Jimin could tell what he was thinking.
"I had no choice. It was the only way I could visit you without them knowing about it"
Taehyung neared him and grabbed his hand as he looked him deep in his eyes.
"Is it true? Did you willingly divorce me so you could be with Yoongi?"
Jimin frowned. "The fact that you could even reason such a thing disappoints me Taehyung!"
"I came here disguised as a woman just to see you. That should tell you a lot shouldn't it?"
But Taehyung was adamant. He needed to clear all doubts"What about the ring he gave you? His engagement ring? You didn't throw it away, you kept it right with you"
Jimin seemed to understand his dilemma. He sighed in frustration " I don't care about the ring. I completely forgot about it. It totally skipped my mind"
"So many things were going on at the same time that I forgot to return it to him"
Taehyung stared at him. "You're not lying to me are you?"
"Stop this Tae. I don't care about Yoongi's ring. I didn't even remember it until this moment! I can throw it into the deep blue sea right now even if you don't tell me!"
"Besides, the ring I'm wearing is the one you gave to me on the day we got married" Jimin said showing him the golden ring still resting in his finger. He went closer to him.
"I love you Tae and I've missed you so much. It hurts a lot that you have doubts over my feelings for you"
He looked like he was going to cry. Taehyung stopped him immediately by holding him close and hugging him tight.
"I'm sorry Jimin...so sorry. I just felt so insecure. The thought of loosing you to someone else drove me crazy. I..."
"I'm yours Tae, always and forever! Trust me just like I trust you okay?"
Taehyung became a docile lamb and nodded his head sweetly. "Okay"
Jimin embraced him tightly before kissing him passionately,his legs almost gave way.
"I missed you so much" Taehyung whispered.
"I missed you too!"
"How are Joy and Yeontan? Jin? Hobi?"
Jimin smiled. "They are all fine. I wouldn't have been able to escape that hell hole Yoongi and Jungkook kept me in if it weren't for Jin and Hoseok"
"I hope you aren't hurt"
"I'm fine. Though, I don't feel good recently. It's like I'm getting weaker day after day"
Taehyung accessed him carefully. "You look a bit pale. Maybe you should see a doctor"
"I'll be fine..."
He barely finished his sentence when he stumbled. Taehyung caught him Immediately.
"Are you okay"
Jimin stood upright and smiled weakly. "I'm fine. Just a bit dehydrated"
Suddenly, Sana appeared in front of the cell looking nervous.
"We have to go now. We have exceeded the time"
Jimin nodded and turned to Taehyung. "Take care of yourself. Jin and Hobi will make sure you're out of here and back home with us"
"Always remember that I'm on your side" he added.
"I will!" Taehyung muttered and smiled shyly.
"I love you Jimin"
Jimin smiled shyly as well. "I love you too Tae"
They kissed one last time before Jimin left the cell. He gave one last longing look at Taehyung before Leaving with Sana and vanishing out of his sight. Taehyung was lost in thoughts, looking towards the direction Jimin went until he heard his fellow inmate speak.
"I was wrong"
"What?"
The man had a faraway look in his eyes "I thought there was nothing like real love but if that man can risk everything, even dress up as a girl just to see you then he can do anything for you"
"You're very lucky V. Not many are that lucky to have what you have with that man. I'm envious. So envious"
Taehyung smiled to himself. His chest welled with happiness. Today was so unexpected but it had brought him great joy. Despite his suffering, seeing Jimin was more than enough for him. Now, he was more than determined to leave this place and go home to his family. To Jimin.
