The Marriage Contract || Taetzu Fanfic

Taehyung's POV

It felt as if the wall of my huge mansion was crumbling down on me. The calls were getting out of hand, and the news was spreading like wildfire. My head was spinning around, and for some reason, Miss Chou's words were ringing in my head.

The main door to my living room was pushed open, and Jimin emerged out of nowhere with a confused look and I knew I was in for millions of questions.

"Taehyung, what's going on?" Jimin asked.

"I've been calling you, but you've not been picking. What's going on buddy?"

I couldn't lie to him, Jimin is more like a brother to me. He stood by my side through thick and thin, lying to him would be a bad idea.

"Jimin, everything that's going on isn't real. I made a lady sign a marriage contract with me so that Jiyeon would be jealous and come running back to me, but she did all this just to gain popularity. She stabbed me in the back, and yet she claimed that she did all this to bring back my ex-girlfriend Jiyeon."

"How did this all happen?" Jimin asked while closing the doors. "How did you meet her, because from what I'm hearing, she's a model in Korea's most famous modeling agency."

I had to open up to Jimin. I told him how we met and the contract we signed. I also told him about the incident that happened this morning, how I felt sick, and how she saved my life. I told him everything there is to know about Miss Chou and me, and for the first time, I felt like a heavy load was lifted off my shoulders.

Jimin sighed deeply and gave me a disappointed look of which I clearly didn't understand.

"What's that look for? I told you the whole truth, so why give me that look?"

"That's because Miss Chou was right. She did all this to get Jiyeon jealous and believe me it worked. So why the hell did you yell at her and say such mean words to her?" Jimin shook his head, I guess in disapproval of my actions.

"She did all this just for you without thinking about her reputation. I've seen the video, and I can tell that she does care for you to have gone to such an extent to expose her body to the public just for your happiness. Buddy, you're at the wrong here, believe me."

"What? Am I wrong? that lady did all this just for herself and you're here vomiting shit? How could you take her side?"

"I'm not taking anyone's side here Taehyung. You're getting this all wrong. She planned to get Jiyeon back to you at all cost, and as I said before, it did work!" Jimin yelled at me, he was angry and I saw it all. But then, his last statement kept on ringing in my head. It did work...

"What do you mean by 'it did work? Tell me."

Jimin smiled and walked closer to me.

"Now you're ready to listen, right?" Jimin brought out his phone and gave it to me.

"Jiyeon already gave me 11 missed calls when I was still asleep, and before coming here, she gave me over 17 missed calls. I tried picking her calls and the first thing she said was "Tell me it's not true." I was also confused then, so I asked her to call you instead, but she said that you're not picking her calls"

"What?" I asked in a loud tone, screaming in my heart. This was exactly what I wanted, and now it's all happening because of Miss Chou.

Wait, the same Miss Chou I called a cheap slut and insulted so badly. Oh God, what have I done?

"What have I done? Miss Chou was right all along. She kept on trying to speak, but I never gave her the chance to. I'm so stupid, I'm such a fool."

"Exactly my friend, you're a fool, but acute and handsome one at that." Jimin chuckled softly.

"Well, you better get ready, Jiyeon told me that she's taking the first flight straight to Korea to see you, and she sounded tense."

Jimin's words were like honey to my ears, he just gave me the best news ever. The moment I've been waiting for is finally coming to reality.

But, Miss Chou is also hurt and probably in tears. I did hurt her, my words did hurt her.

I quickly picked up my phone to call her, but she wasn't picking up, rather a male answered the call after so many attempts of trying.

"Hello, can I speak with Miss Chou?"

"I'm sorry, but that won't be possible. She's sleeping right now and in so much pain as we speak. By the way, who's calling?"

The man asked and I recognized his voice.

"Wait, is this Kim Mark?" I asked out of curiosity, just to be sure.

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"Oh, well, it's me, Kim Taehyung. Please send me Miss Chou's house address, I need to see her, it's very important."

"Alright boss, I will text you in a few minutes," Mark said and the call ended.

I couldn't wait to change or do anything, all I wanted at that very moment was to apologize for my actions. I've hurt her deeply, so badly, and I need to apologize and set things right.

Jimin was busy talking to most of the reporters that kept on calling nonstop. I was indeed grateful to have a friend like Jimin.

My phone vibrated in my hand, and I quickly opened the message and wrote down the address. I was a bit surprised when I noticed that it was walkable.

"Jimin, I'm off to Miss Chou, I need to set things right. Please take care of things before I get back, please."

"Sure buddy, I will be right here, I won't let that poor lady's hard work be for nothing."

"Thanks." I muttered, but I know Jimin heard it, and with that, I took off into the street. I have to see Miss Chou and set things straight. I was at fault and now I'm deeply regretting my actions.

It wasn't up to 20 minutes, and I got to the apartment. I pressed the doorbell and Mark opened the door. He wasn't smiling, but his expression was hard and I could tell that he's upset.

"Mark, please can I see Miss Chou? I must see her. I've made a huge mistake, please."

"Good morning boss, but she's asleep right now. She was in so much pain about an hour ago, and I'd appreciate it if you could come back later." Mark's tone was different and I understand why he is angry, but I can't leave without seeing her.

"Please Mark, I need to talk to her, it's very important, please."

"Let him in Mark, please." Miss Chou's voice and Mark sighed.

"Alright." He replied but got closer to Taehyung.

"Boss, I have high respect for you, but if you hurt my sister in any way, I might forget the fact that you're my boss, believe me."

I smiled and patted his shoulder. "I understand you, Mark, I won't hurt her, not now, not ever," I muttered and went inside the room to see her, but when I saw her red swollen leg, my mind went back to Mark's warning.
