chapter 9

Jisoo's POV

Days had passed, the new set up of our lives as a married yet unlabeled couple become normal and nature in my everyday life.

His laughter and hidden personalities that he probably didn't show when we were living together the past year was now totally shown up and the Taehyung that ignorant,cold, mercilessly, violent and heartless that I lived with is now different.

The beast from past and the monster in every dream I'd had before was completely a nice guy now. But ofcourse the traumas and pain that I had was not that easy to be forgotten.

The tight grips and hard slaps that I received from his own hands was not that easy to remove in my memories, it's hard to forget, it was not easy to erase.

Everytime I'd remember those traumatic and painful memories, the wounds and bruises that my body had received as the scars, unhealed pain and verbal abuse that he threw to me everytime he's mad.

The scene of him degrading me infront of many people, slapping at my face the fact that he will never love me back, stepping multiple times at my dignity as a human and unrespecting me as his lawful wife. It's all hard to forget and just buried like nothing happened.

And now that the man who causes all those pain and unforgettable experience in my life was just sitting infront of me, smiling at me with pure of sincerity.

"So?...." His eyebrows risen up."Have you decided already?" He was about to reach my right hand but I simply move it as I used to hold the glass of water infront of me, but he seems to be noticed my uncomfortableness as he muttered a small sorry. Looking down on his lap I heard him sigh.

"I'll just order all the flavor they have" he smiled at me talking about the ice cream flavors when he look up, before he proceeded to the counter.

Even his smile, he looks like a innocent and harmless boy but he's not. Staring at his figure from behind while he's talking to the staff of the restaurant we went in, his hand caught my eyes.

Those sinful hand which he used as a instrument to hit me and everytime it will land in every part of my body it will leave another wound and bruises not only at my being but in my heart deeply.

He's hurting me physically, and draining me mentally and emotionally by his verbal abuse, but he never done the other way, he never touch me. And it's the biggest thing that I thanked the most he never taken away my dignity as a woman.

I just exhale a deep sighed, averting my gaze at his back turning my head into the other side before he turn around and walk back to our table. Knowing he already sitted back infront of me as he's strong presence that once shaken my knees, I once again greeted by his bright smile.

"The food will arrive soon" he excitedly informed me, but I just stare at him, blankly. I just can't help but to act cold and uninterested. I'm still healing from the painful past I had which he consistently did everytime I beg him to stop.

But being touched by his sincere and bright smile I just nodded and mumbled okay as a response.

Taehyung's POV

She can't even bare to have an eye contact with me, the eyes that always been looking at me from time to time was now can't bare at my stares. The woman that once toughly loved me was not had the same feeling I had now, it was one sided love before when I didn't love her, and now I'm experiencing the same.

Our food arriven as we started to eat, looking at her spinning the pasta on her fork, I smiled seeing how simple she was, going out with just wearing a plain white dress above the knee and simple sandals.

I gather all my courage to broke the silence between the both of us, starting a small conversation to at least lessen the awkwardness.

"How's mom and dad?" I ask referring to her parents, she seems a little shock by me calling her parents, but the shockness was quickly faded away as she spoken up.

"T-they're fine...mom and dad are just fine, they are at the business trip now, in US I guess?" She answered, timidly. I just nod and smiled.

"When will they come back?" I again ask, only to be responded by silence.

She stare at me "I..I don't know?" She answered uncertained. I hummed.

"Let's have a bond with them with my parents soon" I excitedly said, she just let out a small smile and nod her head.

"Sure, I'll say it to them" she smiled as silence ate us again. Seeing how she avoids my stares and conversations just not to be attached on me, again. Was completely breaking me into a pieces. Is this what she felt before because of me, one sided love are really painful.

Tearing up as I can't hold my emotions anymore, I reach her hand and her head from the side just to avoid my eyes was now staring with shock on me. I felt her hand about to move but I didn't let it go. Her amber eyes met mine.

"I don't know that this painful it felt, Soo." I said, but she just stare at me knowing what I was saying, her hand was desperately wanting to be free but I just held it tight but gently. "Please...I promise you once again, sincerely with all my heart that the things that happened before will never be going to happen again wife please give me a chance to prove myself to you, to deserve you." I said.

"The feeling of one side love was breaking me apart" I added, sniffing. "I know I'm not the best guy you'd met before because I was a senseless and nincompoop guy, but Jisoo I promise you that I will be a better man for you" I said with all my heart, but she just stare and didn't move at all. I let go of her hand when I noticed the redness on her neck.

"Jisoo? Love are you okay?" I ask standing at my seat and walk to her, but she just shook her head as the swelling and the redness on her face and neck was become more visible. I started to panic. I hold both of her shoulder as people inside the restaurant attention was caught.

Jisoo's POV

The itching at the same time tingling pain I've feeling as my skin reacts on it, I already knew I'd fuck up. Tears started to formed in the corners of my eyes as Taehyung's worried and concerned face and voice was the only thing heard.

"Wife? What's wrong tell me!?" He's voice risen up a little, but I can't speak the tightening feeling that now surrounding my throat and the itching skin of mine was suffocating me. The shortness of my breath and the wheezing feeling....my eyes landed on the plate of the Asian Cañape, as I again felt the pain on my throat
Those peanuts...fuck

"Jisoo?! Love tell me" he said but already scooping me into a bridal style, carrying me as the people around us started to gossip as some staffs was also asking me, making me more suffocated.

"Give us space!" Taehyung yelled, carrying me out the restaurant as he quickly drive the both of us into the hospitals fastly.

"Love hold on...." He said holding my hand as his other hand was on the steering wheel. Now I felt relieve by his hold but the tightening throat of mine as I see my arms redden, the car stopped and Taehyung immediately called the nurses as they started to move.

Taehyung gently rubbing my hand while I've been transferred into the stretcher, the running nurses and doctors along by the movement of the stretcher I'm on was the last thing I'd seen before my sight ate by the darkness.
