The Heart Of A Gangster || K. Th✔

Chapter 48

Author's POV

Jieun looked at Jimin who was sitting beside her.

"She came to my life like a delicate flower who captured me. Trust me Jieun I only wanted her. I wanted her smile. I wanted her to be the mother of my child. I wanted her to be with me forever. She always promised she would never leave me but she did. You know I was so happy when she said she'll marry me. We married shortly after. That day was the best day in my life. Soon we found out a little life was coming to our little world, making the bond between us more stronger." Jimin softly spoke.

"Then?" She quietly asked, still looking at the fireplace.

"She left me all alone in the dark, again. You know I was ready to leave this mafia life for her. I was ready to start a new life with her. But that day if I was a bit earlier maybe I could save her. Our dreams crashed in front of our eyes. I couldn't save my baby and I couldn't save her. I saw her lying on the bed with many wires connecting with her body. I didn't like it Jieun. I didn't like it a bit.

They killed her. They used her against me cause she was my weakness." Jimin's eyes looked at the flames of fire. 

"She lost her baby and I lost the both of them."

A tear escaped from Jieun's eye hearing his words.

"And I kill them who laid their fingers on her." Jimin's eyes met her's.

"I dated many girls in my life Jieun. I did it cause I needed to move on, I did it cause I tried to forget her but at the end of the day she always crept in my mind. You know Jieun I was ready to die. I was ready to die for her. But she didn't let me. Her voice kept ringing inside my head saying she was with me forever. She said she'll not talk with me if I don't move on. And I slowly started to keep her words."

Jimin then lightly smiled.

"Tell me Jieun if your baby was here and see his or her mommy like this will he or she like it?"

She lightly shook her head.

"It's not the end Jieun. We have to fight together sis." Jieun hugged the male and he patted her head.

"Taehyung needs you the most now so as you need him." She nodded her head.

"Now please drink the soup. You need strength. You didn't even eat this whole two weeks." And Jieun agreed. Jimin helped her to drink the soup.

Jin silently watched them from behind. His lips tugged upwards when Jimin looked behind and gave him a smile.

'Well done Jimin.'

______________

After hearing Jimin's past Jieun decided to talk with Taehyung. She just need his comfort now. She slowly went to his room and knocked. Getting no response she twisted the knob of the door and stepped inside.

The whole room was dark. Thick curtains were down, preventing any lights  to come inside. Taehyung was sitting in front of the bed, his back leaning against the bed, looking straight at the balcony. His body showed no movement. Jieun studied his face. Dark circles were formed under his eyes which were telling he didn't even sleep this whole two weeks. The marks of the bruises of his face were faint. His hair was messy. Jieun never thought she would see him like this. She never saw him this broken. Slowly taking steps she removed the curtains and the moonlight came inside the roon through the window.

"Taehyung." She called his name before standing in front of him.

"I'm a failure Jieun." He said in a motionless tone, still not looking at her. He didn't had the courage to look at her.

"I failed as a son. I failed as a brother. I failed as a husband. I failed as a father."

"No you aren't." Jieun knelt down and hugged him tightly.

"Don't say this about yourself."

"But it's the truth Jieun-ah." Taehyung moved away, staring at her eyes deeply. 

"These things are eating me alive." His voice was full of immense pain. Gulping the lump of his throat he again said,

"I don't even know what I'm feeling now Jieun. I promised you I'll be there with you. I promised our baby I'll be there with him. But I failed. I-I hate myself so much." Jieun cupped his cheeks.

"Sush. Look at me jagi."

"You tried your best. You were with us. It's not your fault." She rubbed his cheeks. His tears were threatening to fall.

"Please let it out." And Taehyung cried out in her shoulder, his muffled voice echoing in the room.

The two souls cried in each other's embrace, letting out the emotions they buried in their hearts. Jieun rubbed his back while he pulled her more closer to him. He was afraid, afraid to lose her. She looked at the ceiling. A sad chuckle escaped from her lips.

"We were waiting to hear tiny steps in this house, to hear small giggles, to feel tiny hands wrapped around our fingers. What would it feel like Taehyung?"

"So heavenly." He muttered. Jieun got up and stood in front of the window. The cold wind hit her skin and she gripped her arms tightly.

"But they snatched our happiness from us. They shattered our dreams Taehyung. They-They snatched our child from us who wasn't even born. And I won't forgive it. Never." Taehyung looked at her hearing her words. When he stood beside her Jieun hugged him and he also wrapped his arms around her.

"Taehyung-ah." The gangster's gaze met  her's. Her honey orbs staring at his charcoal black orbs straight. Her grip on his arms tightened.

"I want them to feel the same pain Taehyung. I want to hear their screams until their throats bleed." Taehyung didn't move his eyes from her. He can feel the glint of fire in her eyes which were seeking for revenge.

"You won't be disappointed my love." His eyes darkened making the girl smile in satisfaction.

Mr. Kim's voice rang inside his head.

'I did all of those without even drenching my hands in blood.'

"I will make him feel what pain really is Jieun, without even drenching my hands in his blood."

He leaned down attaching his lips with her's, sealing the promise with a kiss. A sadistic smile crept on Jieun's lips before she again hugged him, listening to his heartbeat. Taehyung put his chin on her head and closed his eyes.

'He doesn't even know what this monster can do Jieun-ah. And this time V won't break his promise.'
