" Hyunna I'll arrange your shirts neatly into your closet " Hyuka said as he did them. " Thanks Kai , you are really helping me a lot " Taehyun said with a warm smile. " Don't say thanks and make me a third person Taehyun shi " Kai sulked.
" Fine fine , I think there's a knock on our door " Taehyun pointed out and Kai opened the door . " Mom and Dad what you'll are doing here ? " Taehyun asked surprised.
" Taehyunna what happened to your head ? When did this happen ? Why you didn't tell us anything ? " Mrs.Kang rushed to him worriedly caressing his head . " Mom it's just a small wound , I have sustained bigger injuries than this , don't worry " Taehyun comforted his mom.
" Still you should have informed us , we are your parents Taehyun " Mr.Kang said and Taehyun looked away . Yeonjun and Haneul reached their room and realised they messed up.
Yeonjun pulled Kai out of the room with them outside . " What happened ? " Kai asked confused . " You don't want to be in their family drama right ? Just let's wait here and watch " Yeonjun suggested.
" It's not like you'll have been there always , so please don't worry about me now , I can take care of myself as always " Taehyun said with a fake smile. " I know we aren't in good terms , but still .. " Mr.Kang paused .
" I don't wanna hear anything more to it , and please don't do this surprise visits too. If you think it makes me happy , no it doesn't . Thank you for taking your time and visiting me " Taehyun bowed politely .
His parents looked at eachother in shame and left from there . They smiled at the three standing outside before leaving the house . Kai peeked through the door and saw Taehyun wiping his tears away.
He looked at Yeonjun and Haneul who had the worried expression too . " Any explanation Yeonjuna ? " Haneul asked .
" His parents rarely stayed with him . They were always out of station leaving him alone at house , he's a single child too so he was alone most of his life. Beomgyu and I always hangout with him , even we found about this later . We never left him alone after that , but you know what happened then " Yeonjun let out a sigh.
" They didn't even come to his graduation in school nor University , nor they took care of him while he was sick , but he's good at not showing it outside " Yeonjun said with a worried smile.
" He craves a lot of love but doesn't know how to ask for it " Haneul blurted out . " Well we saw that yesterday " Hyuka muttered.
Yeonjun felt guilty as he saw the younger one , he remember promising him that he won't leave him alone . But he failed , he left the younger one alone .
---------------------------------------------------
A week later :
Beomgyu was waiting outside the Director's room . " Oh Choi Beomgyu ? " Yoongi asked as he looked at the younger boy . " Hello Min Yoongi shi , we haven't met ever since " Beomgyu bowed at 90 degrees.
" I'm happy to see you , come inside " Yoongi signalled his as they went inside . " How's your training ? I have seen your montly report and you're showing good progress , but still wanted to hear from you " Yoongi asked .
" It's going good , and sorry for not visiting you earlier " Beomgyu smiled . " Hey not a problem , everyone knows who you are and visiting me would create unnecessary rumours , so it's safe we met once in a while " Yoongi said understandingly.
" I actually wanted to ask about the previous trainers . I heard you sued them " Beomgyu asked hesitating . " You're finally asking , I'm glad . When you complained about them two years back , we also asked other trainees , but none of them had any issue except you . Initially everyone thought you're creating a scene since you are a family member of Choi's , and they ignored the issue completely after you left " Yoongi explained.
" We noticed that all the people you complained about had suddenly showed a higher standard of living , like purchase of new houses and cars which made it suspicious . So we decided to investigate them and found there was a regular cash credits in all of their bank accounts " Yoongi said and Beomgyu raised an eyebrow.
" From who ? " Beomgyu asked . " It was from a person called Jung Gangtae , they were bribed " Yoongi stated and Beomgyu's eyes widened .
" Gangtae ? Can't believe I'm hearing that bitch name again . Then why you'll didn't sue him too ? " Beomgyu questioned . " Because we didn't have solid evidence against him , he was transfering them money but they were his friends . It was us who guessed he should be against you since I knew about Yeonjun " Yoongi explained and Beomgyu let out a sigh.
" He messed up Yeonjun's and my life at the same time , he really planned it all " Beomgyu scoffed . " Not only you both , but Taehyun's too " Yoongi said and Beomgyu gave him a confused look.
" Do you know why Taehyun quit boxing ? " Yoongi asked . " I heard he had some issues in that one match and he left it , did something else happen ? " Beomgyu asked .
" You are late but you should know this. His opponent in that match was Gangtae , they had purposely mixed some drugs in the juice he drank and created a scene , the Doctors tested him and confirmed he was on drugs and they had to disqualify him " Yoongi said and Beomgyu's eyes widened in shock.
" Bb-ut how ? How did he do that ? Taehyun was disqualified ? " Beomgyu was still processing his thoughts . " Beomgyu you know Taehyun wasn't in his right mind that time , he was disturbed too . And with this happening , he could have fought back but decided to quit , I still remember seeing him that day , his eyes looked hopeless " Yoongi said with a sad smile .
" Maybe he missed you and Yeonjun that day " Yoongi stated . Beomgyu looked at him plain , he couldn't say anything , he could feel a lump in his throat.
" Even Yeonjun asks about you often here , he asks about your progress and how are the trainers and fellow trainees . He even asked back then , he always cares about you Beomgyu " Yoongi said patting his shoulders .
" It's not late , it's all in your hands . Don't let someone else be happy in your sadness , make them sad with your happiness . I hope you know what you have to do now " Yoongi said and left .
------------------------------------------------
Beomgyu walked to the parking lot and approached his car . Tears started rolling down his eyes , he broke down as he couldn't take it anymore . He crouched down near his car with his head hung low , letting his tears fall.
" How could I be so selfish " Beomgyu pulled his hair in frustration . " I was so worried about myself that I didn't even knew what the other two were going through , I can't be even more selfish " Beomgyu blurted out and wiped his tears away.
" I'm not letting him win this time . He wanted to separate us ? It ain't happening . We'll get together , even more stronger than before , ready to give him back everything he did to us . And with 2 more people now , five of us will do anything to defeat him " Beomgyu stood up clenching his wrist.
" I need to apologize to Yeonjun hyung and Taehyun , I miss them so much tho I never admit it " Beomgyu smiled at the thought of them .
" I'm getting my two lovelies back , even if I have to fall on their legs I don't care , enough is enough , I have absolutely no reason to be angry at them , tho they have a right to be angry at me " Beomgyu muttered getting into the car.
" They'll fall for my cuteness anyways " Beomgyu chuckled.
------------------------------------
Jimin and Haneul entered the cafe , where Taehyung was already waiting for them . " What would you guys like to order ? " Tae asked with a bright smile . " You look like you're really on a date , I should call Jungkook ig " Jimin said and Tae laughed .
" Hey I was just being nice , you know we three are bestfriends now , I meet you guys more than I meet Jungkook these days " Tae laughed making the other two laugh too.
" You are right , we always discuss serious matters , we have never had a normal conversation at all " Haneul said smiling . " Then let's talk about something fun . Did you and Jimin go for a honeymoon ? " Tae asked and Jimin coughed at that instant.
"What a question to ask Tae " Jimin sighed . " Ya we did go to Jeju island , just for two days , we had a lot of work that time " Haneul said sipping her coffee . " Lot of work ? " Tae asked with a evil smirk .
" She meant our actual work you dirty minded boy " Jimin flicked his forehead and Tae pouted rubbing his forehead . " Well coming back to today's work , how did you convince Yoon Mia to come here ? " Haneul questioned.
" She has a crush on me and I'm well aware of that . So I was so sure she'll come if I ask her for a date , well my handsome face is useful at times like this " Tae said with a proud smirk . " I should keep you in jail for this , but thanks " Jimin stated .
" I think she's here , I'll move to the front table " Tae said and we nodded . Mia entered the cafe and waved at Taehyung who waved back at her cheerfully . " He's such a good actor " Jimin thought.
" Taehyung shi I never expected you to ask me out on a date , what took you so long ? " Mia asked sitting opposite to him . " My pleasure Mia shi . Why you haven't dated anyone before ? " Taehyung asked .
" Well I did , but he was such a bastard . I had a crush on another guy , but he was younger . Plus he has so much attitude , had to reject him tho he was my type " Mia said with a smile . The first boy was Gangtae and the crush was Taehyun , Haneul was well aware of that.
" Reject ? Seriously " Haneul scoffed and Jimin smiled at her . " Aahh you definitely have a kink for the name Tae " Taehyung said with a smirk and Mia looked at him confused .
" Jung Gangtae , Kang Taehyun and me Kim Taehyung , you definitely have a thing for the name Tae " Taehyung raised his eyebrows and Mia shot a glare at him. " How do you know them ? " She asked.
" Why wouldn't he know them ? " Haneul asked sitting next to her as Jimin sat next to Taehyung. " Who are you guys ? Taehyung what's happening here ? " Mia asked nervously . " You better answer all our questions Yoon Mia shi " Tae smiled simply.
" So what's the connection between you and Gangtae ? " Jimin asked and Mia scoffed standing up. " I can't do this " Mia said taking her bag . " Well recently your father had lost 5 crores in some share market , I hope he knows where the money went " Taehyung said dusting his hands which made Mia stop.
" What are you talking about ? " Mia asked nervously . " He really thought that the company had faced some loss , not knowing his sweet daughter has stolen everything safely " Tae said and Mia blinked twice .
" What evidence do you have ? " Mia asked . " Your father may not know you have an account in XXX Bank , but I know Yoon Mia shi , you are really smart to transfer the amount in lakhs " Tae said with a proud smile and Mia sat at that instant.
" What you guys want to know ? " Mia asked . Haneul and Jimin looked at Taehyung surprised , damn he had a plan all along . " Well he asked you the question before " Haneul stated.
" Gangtae and I actually met in highschool final year , we dated from then . He actually joined my father's boxing club , and that's how I knew him . Everything was fine until my father found out , he didn't like me dating a nobody " Mia explained .
" So he threatened him , he asked him to execute his plans if he wanted to stay alive . He said he'll give him money for everything my dad asks him to do , and that bastard agreed . I had no other option but to join them too " Mia stated .
" What exactly did your father ask ? " Haneul asked . " He asked us to separate those three , he didn't like my cousins for some reason. I didn't like them too since my grandfather always appreciated them more than me . So we agreed , Gangtae decided to date Yeonjun and manipulate him since he was the easiest . With Beomgyu's training and Taehyun's matches , everything was plan of my dad " Mia admitted.
" Where's that Gangtae now ? You know that bastard should be in jail along with your father for participating in all of this right ? " Tae raged . " He just started liking it since he got money , that bastard broke up with me too , I'm not in touch with him anymore , heard he's dating the coach's daughter now " Mia wiped her tears .
" Betrayed by your father and boyfriend , I pity you girl , but not that much " Haneul said handing her the tissues . " Any idea why's your father doing this ? And is anyone helping him ? " Jimin asked .
" I recently came to know this , he knew about my grandfather's inheritance contract long back . My mom too supports him in this , they don't really share anything with me , I'm sorry , this is all I know " Mia said .
" Why's your surname Yoon ? " Haneul asked . " My mom's name is Yoon Byulhee , she wanted to give me her surname " Mia said and Haneul nodded.
" Thanks Mia , you can leave now " Jimin stated turning off the voice recorder . " You-- recorded it ? " Mia asked furiously . " I'll not use it against you , don't worry " Jimin smiled .
" Yah Kim Taehyung you better don't say about that 5 crores to my dad " Mia said . " I will not , as long as you keep your mouth shut . And don't crush on me , I have a boyfriend already . Byee " Tae waved his hands and the girl left .
" This is giving me a headache " Haneul thought gulping down her coffee .
