Falling For Your Contract Husband's Friend || Taehyung Fanfiction

Chapter 17

Author's POV:

He held his cheeks, a little blood oozing out of his lips.
"Jihoon!" Jungkook called, completely confused as Jimin was just... dumbstruck.
"You're such a- you should be ashamed," Jihoon said as Taehyung raised his brows.
"Ashamed of what?"
"Cheating!" Jihoon said.
Taehyung laughed and said, "Do you really think you deserve to say that? At this point, you're just mad because of your ego. Do you think I don't know?"

Jihoon scoffed as Taehyung said, "Stop this bullsh-t, Jihoon."
He wiped the blood from his lips, not wanting to further associate with any violence though he started it. He couldn't show up at a date with you with a bloody face after all.
But his plans were interrupted yet again. Because Jihoon couldn't control his hands. He punched Taehyung again and this time, Taehyung exploded.
"You sh-t." Taehyung punched Jihoon back until they were fighting with all they had. Punching each other, pulling each other's hair until they were pulled apart from each other.

Taehyung had blood running down his nose and lips as he glared at Jihoon. Jihoon had blood on his cheek that was bruised.

"Didn't you have plans tonight, Tae? Imagine going somewhere on Christmas Eve after fighting like dogs." Jimin taunted as Taehyung and Jihoon glared at each other, 15 minutes after the fight.
"Now leave you both!" 

—Time skip

You stood in the middle of the road. After spending time with Mina and your family, you were now waiting for Taehyung. Where was he? 
You had the Christmas gift in your hand which you hid behind yourself, waiting for him. 

In the snow, amidst the bright lights and noisy crowd of people, the Christmas music playing and the cosy decorations of the shops nearby, your mind wandered to Taehyung. You were standing there, waiting for him. Suddenly, you saw a familiar figure, him, walking towards you. 
But as soon as you noticed his face, a frown appeared on your face. 
He wasn't properly dressed for winter. It looked as if he just put on whatever coat he found and rushed outside. His face made you gasp. 

His lips were bruised. His cheeks had dark patches. 

He definitely fought someone. 

"Taehyung." You called, frowning as he approached you. He stared at you, smiling a little. It was fake. 
"What's wrong?" You asked, letting your hands fall to your sides. You saw his face as he whispered, "I'm sorry... I fought." 
"With who?" You had a suspicion but it turned into reality when he looked down, "Your ex-husband?"
You cringed and said, "Don't call him that! Ew."
He smiled a little seeing your disgusted expression and said, "But that's true." 

"Why did you even fight with him? Did he start it? Gosh, that a*shole! I should've punched him before signing the papers." You frowned, walking closer to Taehyung, and taking a closer look at his face. He let out a small smile which turned into a wide grin as he pulled you closer. 
Your frown deepened seeing bruises on his knuckles too.
"What's this bag?" He asked as you glared at him, "So you punched him back." 
"I didn't... I only got hit, I swear. It hurt a lot." Taehyung said as you glared at him, shutting him up.

He looked down, pouting a little as you sighed.
"You're weird today." 
He looked down, "I got punched. By the ex-husband of the woman I am in love with." 
You shook your head and said, "Here. It's my Christmas present to you. Take this for now. Let's go to the pharmacy." 
You held his hand. He was trying to protest and said you didn't have to but you shut him up with a glare. You bought some ointment and a bandage for his bruised cheek. 

Sitting on a bench nearby, you sighed, taking some ointment. But even before it touched his lips, you were hissing yourself. Taehyung chuckled seeing you and held your hand, pulling it closer to his lips. You stared at him and sighed, "Why did you fight?" 
You asked while applying the ointment on his lips as gently as you could. At this point, you were hissing more than he was. 
You applied some on his cheeks too and applied a band-aid there, looking at him. 
He opened his mouth but you cut him off saying, "Don't say anything like 'I did it for you' or I'll chop your limbs off." 
He looked at you in disbelief as you stared at him.
