My Seven Husband

🌹19🌹

"Marry me, Ari." I inhale a sharp breath and stumble backwards from my chair but thankfully Hoseok holds me.

"This bitch I swear to God!" Jin stood up from his seat but I hold his hand to calm him. His anger is returning and I can feel it. I make Jin sit back in his seat and then I stand up.

"Look Tae, I know you started to like me. But I can't give you the love you're hoping for from me. I already have 4 husbands and my life is not an arcade I think. I'm sorry but I just can't marry you." He stands up from the floor and looks at me with sorrowful eyes.

"Please Ari, I promise you I'll never expect anything more than just a relationship of husband and wife. Chim, please tell her to marry me, please." He looks at Jimin who suddenly stands up from his chair, facing Tae.

"No Tae, I can't do it. She already married 4 persons against her will and I can't push her knowing everything. I'm her best friend Tae and I can't let her suffer again." I can't help but smile at Jimin's reply. Indeed he is my best friend that everyone should have in their life. I did something very good in my last life to deserve him in this life. But my smile fades when I see Tae pointing a finger at him.

"You know what, you're just selfish. If you thought of her suffering then you won't agree to marry her even it cost anything. But you just want to keep her for yourself that's it." He said as he storms towards his room. Jimin slumps down in his chair as a tear escape his eyes. I can feel his pain right now so I walk to him and put my hand on his shoulder. He looks up at me for a second and then hugs my waist tightly, putting his head on my stomach and crying in a muffled sound.

"It's okay Jimin. He'll understand you again. And I believe you that you're not selfish." Unknowingly, a tear left my eyes as I pat his head. Maybe this is what they called the connection of the heart.

I was talking to a patient of mine who come to meet me. He was in sessions with me for 9 months and now fully recovered.

"Thank you again, ma'am. I don't know where I would've gone if you didn't treat me." I smile towards him that after his recovery he comes to meet me. Such a genuine patient of mine. After talking for some quality time, he takes his leave and I tie my hair to go out for my chamber. Suddenly a pitch loud voice caught my ears and I saw Jin running out of the kitchen with Suga. Jimin was taking a call outside but he also hears it and run to me.

"Are you okay Ari?" He looks at me with concerned eyes and I nod. Suddenly Hoseok's figure appears upstairs. His face was pale from an unknown fear and seems like he was trying to say something but his struggled breathing won't let him. After taking some deep breaths, he directly looks at my eyes.

"Tae cut his nerves." It wasn't already a great disaster that complete as I faint after hearing it.

***********
I move my head a little and feel someone's thighs under my head. Then I tried to slowly open my eyes and recalling everything. As soon as my mind recalled Hoseok's words, I shot up on the bench I was laying on only to crack my neck a little in the process. Jin runs towards me and rubs the back of my neck.

"Aish! Who told you to sit up like that? Can't you do something slowly? No one can explain you girls." He shakes his head a little and helps me to turn around and sit properly. Then I noticed that I was laying on Hoseok's lap. I look at him and he smiles at me. He turns around and Suddenly his eyes lock with Suga. They both give each other an awkward stare before looking away.

I look at my surroundings to find myself in the hospital with others. So I turn my gaze back at Jin and ask him.

"Where's Jimin?" He looks down and let out a low sigh.

"He's on the terrace. He's crying for the last 2 hours Ari. Taehyung is out of danger but somehow Jimin is still blaming himself." He looks back at me as he was telling me to comfort Jimin. I just nod and slowly stand up.

"Wait for me here. I'm going to check for Jimin." They nod and I started to walk towards the stairs as the lift was out of order. As I reach the second floor someone's grip on my wrist stop me in midway. I turn around to see Jin standing behind me.

"Are you following me?" I frown my brows at him he just smiles, before gripping my nape with his right hand and pulling me into a kiss. His left hand leave my wrist and make its way to my waist. I was in shock for a mere second but then just give in. Technically, it was the first time he's giving me a real kiss, apart from the wedding one. But honestly, I love the way his soft lips are moistening my lips with his love and passion. He slowly pulls away and opens his eyes so did I and our eyes make a contact.

"You just get back your senses after 2 hours of being fainting. So I can't let to climb the stairs alone. Take care and don't be late." He smiles before kissing my forehead and walks away. And I? I was standing there like a pillar, unable to understand what in the heaven just happened?

***********
"I know it's you, Ari." Jimin sniff before turning around. This is the thing I and Jimin have, that we can feel each other's presence without even the slightest sound. His eyes and cheeks became red after crying for so long. I can't take his side and spread my arms for him. He looks up at me and the next second I know, he jumped in my embrace, crying like a soft baby he is.

"Shh! Jimin! He's fine. You don't have to cry." I tried to soothe him and he instantly pulls away from the hug and looks at me.

"I'm not crying because of this." And I was confused, again. Oh lord, I'm not a fucking Albert Einstein so stop playing with my brain.

"Then what?" I ask, not knowing if there's anything else I could ask.

"Tae fought with me today morning." My jaw almost reached the floor after hearing his confession. There's no fucking way it can happen. He seems to understand my confusion so he clears his throat to explain.

"Maybe Tae saw your hickeys and he came to me, to threaten me if I. If I take advantage of you." My eyes widened after what he said. So this the only sin left to happen by me? That I have to come between two best friends?

"Did he hurt you?" He looks up at me and wipes beside his lips. And my heartbeat was about to stop after seeing a bruise there. I look at him in disbelief and he hung his face low.

"I put concealer on it so no one can notice it. But please don't hate him. He did it because he loves you. Otherwise, he never thinks of hitting me in his dream." I grab his face in my hands and make him look at me.

"I don't hate him Jimin. But I'm proud of you. You did play the role of a best friend very well in both of our lives." He smiles at me and I did too but suddenly he leans in and pecks my lips. My eyes widened at his sudden pervert action.

"Yah! The hell are you doing?" He chuckles at my behaviour making me dig a hole and slip into it right away from embarrassment. Suddenly he turned serious again and look at me.

"Now what Ari? He tried to kill himself because you rejected him. Now, what are you going to do?" I sigh before looking up at him.

"I have to talk to everyone. By everyone I mean.... include Tae."
