Bittersweet

9: Ace, a murderer, a monster, a prisoner

Kiera's face was red. Taehyung doesn't know if ot was a reaction to sobbing or anger. His hands snaked around her waist, he took a deep breath,
"It's a long story Queen."
"Really? As if I don't have time! As if I'm not going to imprisoned here for the rest of my life!"
"Calm down doll."
Taehyung nuzzled his face on Kiera's neck. He held Kiera tight to him. He whispered as he squinted his eyes closed,
"Kiera. Please let me stay like this for sometimes. I just really need to calm my mind before I can remember the bitter treatment I couldn't stop Jungkook from getting."
"Take your time Taehyung."
Kiera said in a calmer tone. If he needed time, who was she to force him?
Taehyung just felt a tug in his heart as he recollected every second of his memory.
-----------------FLASHBACK----------------
"But Sunbaenim, he's heavily injured."
"As if I care! Just beat him up and take every single word out of him. Kim Taehyung."
Lee Chaerin said as she glanced at the well built man. She was disgusted. She soon moved her heels away and walked towards her office room. Taehyung just sighed. He felt a heaviness on his shoulders.
The door creaked open and Taehyung slowly entered. Jungkook scoffed,
"Yet I'm the monster here."
Taehyung raised his eyes,
"Pardon?"
Jungkook kicked the chair which was turned in the opposite direction of Taehyung and signed him to sit down,
"Pardoned."
"Ace, you maybe forgot that you are a prisoner. And your crimes are dead serious. Out of all these people, you would be the one I would least be pardoned by. But anyways, let's get down to business..."
"To defeat the Huns!"
Jungkook screamed before chuckling his head off. Taehyung sighed,
"I'm only trying to help. Listen up, stop your game I need words."
"Words."
Jungkook said as he smirked. He wanted to annoy the hell out of Taehyung. But Taehyung chuckled,
"Nice sense of humour Ace. I'm sure your lover must be really happy."
"Yeah, she's happy. Only Ace can make his Hearts happy."
Jungkook's eyes were becoming less and less concentrated. As if he was getting lost in a daydream.  This was Taehyung's chance,
"Hearts? Rather weird name for a lover, don't you think?"
Jungkook just shrugged. Taehyung knew by his gaze that Jungkook was losing in his thoughts. Taehyung cleared his throat,
"Is Hearts..."
"Only I call her that!"
Jungkook barked at Taehyung. He was the rather possesive kind. He decided on nicknames for his girl and never let even his teammates call her by that name. But he was not the one who restricted her or behaved like he owned her. He'd rather want to be beside her rather than owning her.
Taehyung smiled and sarcastically raised his hands up,
"What should I call her then?"
"Maybe Ace's Queen?"
"So, her name's Queen of Hearts?"
"She'd pay you fuckers a visit soon. But I thought you guys have info about us. Such weak bastards they employed. It would've been better if they had just given us to rule. We are winning against you dumbos anyways."
"You guys leave initials. The names are classic though. So I'm guessing, Q. D would be Queen of Diamonds?"
"Diamond's coming as well. Listen up, the only information I'd slip, just so you get off my back, are the names. You ready?"
Taehyung felt a tad bit of excitement. But anxiety kicked in as well. He had to trust Ace. Jungkook spoke again,
"We got Queen of Hearts, Q. H, but I call her Hearts, the others in the team call her Queen. Then we got King of Diamonds, K. D. He my bro. King D. Then the fiesty one Queen of Diamonds. Q. D. We call her Diamond. Then Jack of Clubs. J. C. He's a tough cookie. Lastly, Joker or J. J is the one who'd stab you with a smile on their faces."
Taehyung memorised the names. He again with a smirk said to Jungkook,
"Well, how does your Queen look?"
"Like a queen. She's got a fierce madness of her own. She can seduce anyone in just a blink of an eye. But her true beauty is her eyes. Those heterochromic eyes. Her charm is not how sexy she is. It's actually how comfortable and confident she is being sexy. You won't get it Taehyung. It's a thing only I get about Hearts."
"She sounds like a nice little pup. My kinda doll. I wanna play with her a bit. Are you sure she's gonna pay us a visit? I can't wait!"
Jungkook plunged at him with his fists balled up as soon as I finished. He had somehow uncuffed his hands. He pinned him on the ground and kept punching me. Till the guards of course jumped in between.
"You bastard! How dare you say that about my Hearts? She isn't just a random slut! She is a Queen and deserves to be respected!"
Jungkook growled as the guards tackled him. Rosé with her fear struck heart, somehow inserted a syringe on his veins. Jungkook soon fell on his knees. He muttered,
"Why? Just tell me why did you do that, blondie?"

Taehyung felt sorry. He had taken the utterly wrong path. He had hit Jungkook where it hurt. Queen of Hearts was his lady. And ofcourse it stung him, he is definitely the possesive kind. Taehyung's heart felt heavier. His head kept on churning. He just felt as if he would just fall down any moment. He had done a great sin. He had just lost the opportunity to interrogate Jungkook. Jungkook would have to go through hell now.
"Hey buddy! Ace beat you up, huh?"
Jimin said as he wrapped his arms around the shoulder of the much taller man. Taehuung scratched his jaw,
"I deserved it. I had gone a bit far toying with his temper. I maybe went a bit too far talking bout his Queen."
"Lover?"
"Yeah. Q. H."
"Ace dates Q. H? I thought Ace would rather love fragile woman."
"Well his face glowed up when talking about her. It must mean he loves her dearly. I wish I was just given one more chance with him. They are going to kill him!"
Jimin just shrugged his shoulder while Taehyung just stood there stressed to death. Jimin said in a rather unbothered tone,
"Yeah whatever! Wanna go out for lunch?".
