I Will Protect You |Taekook|

Part 32

Author's pov

As the Kim siblings and Jungkook's time passed staring at each other (only Y/n did from the siblings' side) the atmosphere suddenly dropped. Y/n was looking curiously between her brother and Jungkook who wouldn't talk with each other.

Y/n finally gave up on the silence and spoke up. "What's wrong between you two?"

No one answered her.

"Ugh!" Y/n said impatiently. "Stop it, you two. Fought or what? Do you think I'm liking it? Can't you just have it solved? I'll not third wheel, promise."

Jungkook blinked back the tears. He wasn't sure why Taehyung was avoiding him. But, as sure as he wasn't with his luck, Taehyung might have got a hint because he was smarter than he looked. And Jungkook couldn't stop having negative thoughts.

Y/n figured something out. She grumbled about and passed away into the balcony leaving Taehyung and Jungkook together in quietude.

That wasn't how Jungkook ever thought it would ever go. They are in the same room, but no conversation. Not even a hello or some things which are normal between boyfriends. But they didn't.

After what seemed like a century, Taehyung turned. He looked handsome as always but something important was missing. His smile and his avoiding meeting Jungkook's eyes.

Taehyung took a shaky breath and said in a low but dark voice, "Why was that important? Wasn't I enough for you?"

Hearing those words, Jungkook's doubt was cleared out. Taehyung knew. But he didn't sound angry, he was disappointed and mostly hurt and heartbroken.

At not getting an answer Taehyung straightened up his head, staring into Jungkook's eyes with those eyes which previously held love, now held pure hatred and loss of trust. "Was that why you never wanted to expose us? Tell me. You know what I'm talking about, Jungkook."

That's it. Taehyung used his full name in that crumbling tone which could never make things work out better. He wanted an answer. Y/n was outside and most probably she was eavesdropping.

Today, everything had to be revealed.

Taking a heavy inhale and a gulp, Jungkook spoke out, "I... I had different problems to deal with. It's not wha-"

But Taehyung cut him off with a sarcastic laugh. "Oh, please. I'm done hearing that 'it's not what you think'." Then his smile dropped, his expression now poker-faced. "It's everything I think. You talk about your cousin, huh?"

Suddenly, Taehyung's voice broke. He sucked back a sob but the pain was impossible. It would have been the worst way he could have imagined being heartbroken like this. He was a fool. An idiot. An asshole. To be so blind in love to the point he never noticed his surroundings. Every single time, he had thought about Jungkook who used to be his priority. But not anymore.

Jungkook always portrayed himself as an innocent bean when inside he wasn't what he was outside. Jungkook is a player and his ex-boyfriend. Even Iseul would have been better than him. That Jeon MotherFucking Jungkook. Even words couldn't describe how much he hated Jungkook right now.

And that fucker seriously dared to talk back. "Look, everything you've imagined, it is completely false. I never lied to you-"

"STOP IT JUNGKOOK!" Jungkook flinched, being shouted at by Taehyung for the first time. Taehyung's face turned red from the burning anger pulsing through his veins. Anyone would call him mad, he didn't care because right now he just wanted to hurt that bitch more and more than he could ever imagine.

"Stop lying!" Taehyung shouted, breathing in. "You never cared about me, did you? You always said that girl is your cousin but now, what did I know? Please don't correct me if I'm correct." Taehyung laughed like a miserable man. "She's your fucking soon-to-be wife, isn't she?"

Jungkook's heartbeat stopped. He felt like a very evil power had snatched his soul away. Was that what he deserved? Of course. But he never imagined this way. He always wanted to discuss this with Taehyung by himself but now he just couldn't fix the big hole he had created. He should've known; Taehyung would find it out himself someday.

"Listen to me once. Please. I know you'll believe me after thi-"

"There's nothing to believe or trust anymore." Taehyung's tone made it clear he didn't want any explanations. "You know what? I just want to punch you and slap you so tight but I can't. Why? Because you were my first love. And I'm disgusted by that. My choices couldn't have gone lower.

"That's it. We're done now, Jungkook. Let's break up."

Without any response or agreement, Taehyung left, brushing his shoulder with Jungkook's so harshly that he almost fell. Taehyung cared? No.

Upon reaching outside where Y/n was still standing, Taehyung started climbing down the ladder before Y/n could even notice. She called out, "Hey, is the matter solved?!" Taehyung ignored her and started walking away as he reached the ground. "Taehyung! Hey!"

Y/n scratched her head, utterly confused. Being the Love Guru, she knew something was wrong. As she peeked inside the room through the window and saw Jungkook curled up in a ball while crying his heart out loudly, Y/n was clear.

But she didn't reach Jungkook to make him calm because she knew that this time Jungkook had done a huge mistake and just because of him Taehyung would go through a heartbreak.

Down the hall

Leo was still on his so-called throne when his most trusted man walked up to him and whispered something making Leo smirk as wide as he could with those cold eyes.

His those devilish eyes landed on the Jeons as he announced, "Your dear son has been found. So lucky am I, don't you agree?"

Mrs Jeon gave her husband a scared look. She talked through her eyes: What's he talking about?! He found Jungkook!

But this time Mr Jeon was helpless too. He didn't know what to say or even react. He just gave a sad look to his wife who dissolved into an ocean of tears.

While Leo again got an announcement. He smiled. Not that warm and kind smile, it was almost as if he had got what he wanted. "That's it, everyone. We've got more visitors to join you. Guess who they are?"

Leo scanned the crowd, waiting for an answer. No one did. So he said, "The Kim siblings, of course!"

The huge doors opened and two young kids walked inside. Both were blindfolded with their hands tied back with a rope. One was a boy, other was a girl. Both of them were struggling to get free but the men were stronger than they combined.

When the guards reached the place where their boss was seating, they threw them both under his feet.

Leo smirked, "Oh, come on. They're our guests. Let them sit properly." The men did as they were told.

Taehyung still tried to get up but he couldn't with his hands tied back. He couldn't even scream or yell at that dumbass as he was being gaged.

"I love seeing people struggle, you know. I like it too much that I can't help you beauties. Oh, look at the girl, she's pretty. I could use as my pleasure slave."

Though Y/n's hands were tied, she showed Leo the famous middle finger. Leo just laughed. "I like that behaviour."

Then the lights turned off. And from the spotlight, as Leo could've expected...

Well, it wasn't Jungkook who came down. It was his bulky guard.

Leo cursed. "What the heck?! Where's he?!"

The guard stepped back and gulped. "S-sir, he ran away."

Leo stood up. The crowd heard it. They wanted to cheer but when they realized that the Jeons were in serious trouble, they glanced sympathetically at the Jeon parents.

Leo grabbed the man's hair and pulled them, making him whimper. "WHAT ARE YOU, A SCUMBAG? HE'S THAT SMALL AND YOU ALL JUST LET HIM RUN? USELESS SHITS!" He pushed the man aside.

"You're gonna regret running away from me, Jungkook. I swear. Your boyfriend is also gonna have a tough time." He whispered to himself.
