Once Upon A Broken Heart || Taekook

Chapter 16 - Red string

Taehyung had calmed down by the time both of them got in Jungkook's car, parked outside the restaurant.

Taehyung's bruised hand was in Jungkook's hand which he kept caressing softly.

They exchanged no words, just comfortable silence.

After a while of driving Jungkook parked the car and got down, "I'll be back quickly, don't panic, yeah?", to which Taehyung just nodded staring into void.

He seemed zoned out.

Jungkook came back holding a brown paper bag, quickly as he promised. He sat on his driver seat.

And took out his phone first and once again held Taehyung's hand in his and clicked two photos from different angles.

"Why?", Taehyung was puzzled why would Jungkook take photos of his hand.

He sent those photos to Taehyung's number and kept his phone back in his pocket, "Send them to your attorney."

"Oh... Okay."

He then took out the supplies he bought in the brown paper which were some ointment and cooling gel pad.

Taehyung hissed when he felt a slight burning sensation on his bruises. He looked at Jungkook with a cute pout.

"Hurts?", Jungkook asked looking at Taehyung's pouty lips.

Taehyung nodded cutely.

Jungkook applied the ointment as gently as he could.

Once he was done he patted Taehyung's head lightly appreciating him without words, because even though he was in pain he took it like a champ.

"Thank you.", Taehyung sighed in relief when the cooling pad numbed the pain bit by bit.

He doubts if his wrist is actually twisted.

"Tae..."

Taehyung hummed in response.

"Did he ever hurt you like this before?", Jungkook was curious as to if Taehyung was ever physically hurt before, by Kwon.

He knew how much the boy was broken mentally, this was the first time he saw something happening to him, that physically hurt him.

Even when Taehyung vented out stuff he never mentioned any physical violence on him. But today's incident made him want to clear his curiosity.

And when the silence stretched from Taehyung's side after he shot his question was an answer in itself.

Jungkook caressed Taehyung's hand in a reassuring manner, "What did he do?... You know you can tell me angel, I will protect you."

Taehyung hesitated but he still answered looking outside the window, "He never hit me in these whole five months I've known him, instead he used to lash his frustration through yelling. But one day I cancelled all my brand deals because I had decided to divorce him and to switch to BigHit label, but that day... ", Taehyung paused and took a deep breath before continuing.

"Kwon barged into my cabin and situation got heated and he... slapped me across my face."

Jungkook's eyes turned dark, he wanted to do alot of things to Kwon and he is sure he will do alot of things.

He clenched his free hand into fist in anger.

But he decided to be calm and composed in Taehyung's presence.

So he controlled his urges back.

Jungkook kissed the back of Taehyung's hand softly. He kept pecking it affectionately.
