The Heart Of A Gangster || K. Th✔

Chapter 20

(Warning: Mention of blood.)

Haneul's POV

I still can't get out of the awkwardness. He caught me smirking at him. But it won't stop me. After our lunch I decided to talk to him. I guess he's in his study room now.

I quietly went there and knocked the door twice. A faint 'come in' was heard and I twisted the knob. Jimin oppa was discussing something with him. Jimin oppa smiled and I saw Taehyung glancing at me. Fidgeting my fingers I stood quietly. Maybe the timing is wrong. He seemed busy.

"Hani, do you need something?" Jimin oppa asked.

"Are you guys busy?" I managed to say. I feel like my words are stuck in my throat.

"No. Not at all." Jimin oppa said while Taehyung raised one of his eyebrows at me.

"I'll send the file later Tae." Saying he went away not forgetting to give me a naughty smirk. As soon as Jimin oppa left I took a deep breath.

Taehyung seemed to engrossed in some papers. I remember Namjoon oppa saying it's their day off.

"Will you stand there like this or will say something?" I flinched hearing him.

"Isn't today your...."

"Well we just can't let our guards down right babygirl?" He didn't let me finish my sentence. It's like he already knew my thoughts. I bit my lips and blurted out,

"We left our work incomplete." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Pfft." He let out a chuckle and I frowned at him.

"Are you desperate babygirl?" He closed the file and walked towards me. I started to step backwards until my back hits the wall. He trapped me between his muscular arms and leaned.

"Desperate for me or for knowing my past?" He whispered in my ear while I shivered when he nibbled my earlobe. I looked at his eyes which were are blank as always.

"Obviously about your past." My heart's thumping so fast that it might explode.

"It's surely interesting seeing you acting all tough around me but failing miserably." I shivered when he traced my jaw with his forefinger. I again bit my lips and grabbed his hand.

"Why do you hate Jungkook?" As soon as I asked it his face dropped. I think I can read him now. His eyes. Are they showing a glint of sadness?

"Did that Jeon told you to say this?" He suddenly gripped my jaw and I'm horrified at his sudden act.

"N-no he didn't. I'M asking it." I deeply stared at his eyes. His grip on my jaw tightened. Tears were brimming in my eyes from the pain and soon they fell. His grip loosened and I coughed badly.

I gasped when he suddenly punched the wall harshly.

"TAEHYUNG!!" I grabbed his hand but he yanked it away from me.

"WHY DO YOU CARE?" His voice held so pain.

"Hurting yourself won't bring you anything." I again reached for his hand.

"Jungkook was also a child like you. You and him both didn't understand anything then. It isn't his fault. He's also in pain as you're in now. He can feel you. He can understand you."

"Leave me alone. We'll talk about this later." He remarked. I firmly cupped his both cheeks and made him look at me.

"Taehyung. I'm also an orphan. I can feel your pain. When your own parents hate you, when they don't want you. I know all of it." My voice was broken. After all my own father also didn't want me.
