Soldier's heart | Jinkook

Chapter 22

Hello after 1000000000000 years. I have a birthday today!!!

Jin's POV:

"Don't worry. You won't regret this. I will make sure you will have a good life with me." Taehyung whispered to my ear when we stood by the altar. I didn't respond, just stared at the wall in front of me, broken. 

Yes, I gave in to Taehyung. I told him my 'yes' for the sake of Jungkook, my father, and my kingdom. I don't want war and mainly don't want Jungkook to get hurt. And if a wedding with Taehyung means unscathed kingdom and healthy Jungkook, then I am more than willing to sacrifice myself. 

I can remember my old selfish self that would never do something like this. And honestly, even now, I would rather grab Jungkook's hand and run away with him. But that would mean war for my father and thousands of victims of war. 

Now, I am gonna marry this man to save my lover and my kingdom. I should feel better for doing something nobly like this. But I feel just misery.

"Do you take Kim Seokjin as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest asked, and Taehyung turned his head to me. I looked at him with a 'You still have a chance to stop this' expression. He looked at me with an 'I have no other choice' expression and then answered with a wide grin.

"Yes, I take." 

After the same question for me, I replied blankly, my weak answer.

"You may now kiss the husband." The priest said, and during loud applause, Taehyung leaned down to me and slightly pecked my lips. I was a little shocked. I expected a harsh and forced kiss. 

Then he took my hand and led me to the wedding car. As we were inside, away from all people, I took off my wedding ring and threw it on Taehyung.

"Jin..."

"Take me home." I cut him off and stared out of the window.

"We will be there in 5 minutes." He said and sighed when he turned his body around, and we both stared out of the window on our side of the car.

When we got to Taehyung's castle, now our castle, I ran to Jungkook's room. I wasn't shocked to see it was empty, but it still hurt. I closed the door behind me, sliding down the wood, and finally released tears that I held the whole day. I cursed Taehyung for being such a jerk, Jungkook for leaving me, my dad for selling me, my mother for betraying me, and mainly my own life for being so complicated.

I stayed in Jungkook's former bedroom for a whole night, refusing to sleep in the same room as my husband.

2 years later...

"Good morning," I said as I sat down by the large dining table opposite Taehyung.

"Morning, love," Taehyung said without looking at me, concentrating on something in his tablet.

"Something wrong?" I asked as I waited for maids to bring my breakfast.

"No," Taehyung said straightly and put his tablet down on a table.

"Jin, what are you saying about camping?" Taehyung asked curiously. I looked at him, confused.

"You know I hate to sleep in a tent," I said and sipped my coffee.

"We don't have to sleep in a tent. I have a beautiful summer cottage in the mountains. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, big living room with fireplace and balcony with an amazing view." Taehyung said with his boxy smile.
