20: Sorry for Everything

"Taehyung... I'm tired."
Kiera placed her head on Taehyung's chest. She threw the file away from his hand. Taehyung shouted at her,
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO KIERA!"
Kiera looked him in the eye. She froze for a second. He was pissed. Of her existence? Kiera gritted her teeth and jumped away from him, she sarcastically bowed,
"Oh, damn me, disturbed the goody two shoes. I beg your mercy Hot Stuff."
Kiera walked away from him. This was not what he meant. He by no means wanted to hurt Kiera. But here he went again. He was quite cataclysmic as always. He was no good with the heart. He was at fault. He shouldn't have yelled at her. He had taken a step so wrong. He felt like an idiot.
He quickly ran upto her and tried hugging her,
"Doll I'm sorry."
"For what, Officer?"
She said totally unbothered. Her voice was colder than icebergs. It also made Taehyung's heart sink, like the Titanic,
"I shouldn't have yelled at you like that..."
"Well you are a cop, I'm a criminal. You are bound to yell at me. It's normal for you to raise your voice."
Taehyung turned her around and held her hands in his,
"Kiera, we both know that we are more than the usual cop-criminal duo. I'm sorry if I made you upset..."
Kiera shook her hands away from his long, beautiful ones. She shrugged a bit,
"I don't know what are you talking about. And it doesn't matter if I get upset or not. Stop giving yourself so much importance Officer. You found yourself the bits of light. You stuffed your face with luxury. You don't know how hard we went through to become the strong sword we are. You never went through the thinks I did. It's rather predictable that you are going to turn out just as immature as..."
"Really? You think we went through nothing? For your kindest information, I also faced some struggles as a child and dealt with hardships! You are not the only one Kiera! I mean, I totally get that you've faced way more than me. But that doesn't mean that I don't know anything at all!"
"Get out! Now! Just leave me goddamn alone! Who the fuck gave you the fucking rights to yell at me? Huh? You know what? Thank you. Cause I had started to feel something about you. Thank God that you showed me how much of a jerk you are! Or else I would have fallen for you!"
Kiera screamed at the male in front of her. How dare he? Tears ran out simultaneously from her brown-blue eyes. Her nose was red and her honey tanned cheeks were red.
It was at this point Taehyung knew he fucked up. He shouldn't have screamed at her. But the frustration. The way the head of the department was just pressurising him. They just saw Kiera as a monster and Taehyung as incapable. They wanted to hand these case to someone else. Someone who can beat the shit out of Kiera. This was Taehyung's worst nightmare. Taehyung had became completely attached to Kiera by now. Love? Obsession? He doesn't know what's going on. He just knows that he feels helpless whenever she's away.
"Doll, I'm sorry..."
Taehyung took a step towards her, but she backed away,
"Don't 'DOLL' me! Just go away! We are nothing but a cop and a criminal! So just leave me! You are gonna be better with that pretty friend of yours. What's her name again? Kim Jisoo right? Just go with her. I'm pretty sure she won't break rules and annoy you! You don't deserve me!"
Kiera's voice broke and she fell on her knees. She felt weak and disgusted on herself. Her head felt light. Everything was blurry. It just was getting harder for her to breathe.
Taehyung wanted to help her. But he just was way too guilty. He was the reason why she was broken inside now. He mumbled,
"I'm Sorry."

"Where's my Appa? Where's my Eomma? Where's Halmeoni and Harabuji?"
The young boy cried. His lips shivered and tears brushed past the mole under his eyes. His wrists and ankles were sore from being tied up. His vlothes were covered in dirt. The bony woman with cold visuals smirked,
"Why? They got rid of you anyway. They don't want you anymore little boy. They would rather get someone who's better than you."
"You are lying! My Eomma-Appa love me! My Halmeoni and Harabuji love me!"
The boy howled. His head was starting to hurt. The woman gritted her teeth as she took off her belt. With a loud slashing sound, the strong piece of leather landed on the boy's soft skin. He screamed with pain. His cries became louder. A small figure by the doorways weeped as she mumbled...

"TAEHYUNG-SSI!"
Jisoo ran towards Taehyung. Her heart beating faster than ever. Her cheeks coloured blood red from the sudden rush. But as soon as she reached near him, her heels broke from running vigorously. Taehyung was quick to hold her in his manly arms from falling down on the hard ground. Jisoo's heart was beating out of the ribcage. She scratched Taehyung's shirt. She shyly said,
"Thank you Taehyung-ssi."
She got up on her feet and bowed to him. A pair of eyes scanned the two. Namjoon sighed as he could feel his broken heart breaking into several pieces. He walked away and said to himself,
"Jisoo-ssi, are you happy now that you are with someone really handsome? Just as divinely as you? I wish you happiness and love. I know I'm never going to tell you these, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I dared to even look at you when I'm totally incapable for you. I am not as good looking as you. You are witty, gorgeous, kind hearted. And look at me! I'm just a nobody. Hope Taehyung can give you what you want. Hope Taehyung sees you as you, and not a competition towards his Doll. You deserve every flower in the world. Every single good thing. I'm sorry for being inconsiderate. I'm sorry for everything. Kim Jisoo."
