For Him

20◇

"What were you and Jungkook talking about ?" This is the first thing that I hear as I exit the closet after changing into my pajamas

"Nothing" I casually reply, trying to avoid Taehyung

I just lay down on the bed, facing the side opposite to him

"Hmm ofcourse you won't tell me" I can easily picture him frowning while saying this

"Not like there even is a need for me to tell you" I say honestly,
There is absolutely no need for me to tell him what am I doing or talking about, only because of the husband title he has

"Fair enough.
By the way, the daughter of one of my very important business clients is getting married tomorrow and you have to attend the after party with me.
We have to leave at 7"

"Hmm" I say without any questioning as no matter what, I must look like a perfect wife in the eyes of media

I message Alice to see if I have schedules for tomorrow evening,
Luckily my schedule is free tomorrow

"So you're just going to lay there ignoring me ?" Somehow this guy always manages to get on my nerves.
I just pretend as if I am asleep

"I know you are aware"

I sit up straight and face him "What do you want me to do huh?
Rather than ignoring you.
Should I thank you for being an amazing husband.
Taehyung I'll be honest, you are the last person I wish to see right now.
I am actually amazed by the ype of person you are,
You have the tendency to hurt me and then complain about me ignoring you.
How can.....you know what, just sleep and let me sleep in peace too" I say as I lay down again, harshly pulling the blanket over my head

After about 5 minutes I hear the door to our bedroom close,
I remove the blanket from over my head, and look to the other side only to find it empty

◇

I didn't mean to hurt you Jennie, I never did.
I just cannot sort the things out happening in my head right now

I know that you like me Jennie and I also know that you hate yourself for loving a person like me.
I am sorry that I cannot promise to love you back

"What are you doing here this late ?" I turn around to see my dad walking towards me

"Can't sleep,
What about you ?"

"Came downstairs for some water, the light was on so walked here and saw my son sitting here at our home bar, sipping vodka at 2 am.
You must be in some deep thoughts"

"There's just alot going on" I admit while sighing as he nods understandingly

"Want me to pour you a glass ?" I ask him, motioning to vodka bottle on the table

"Looks like you can use some company" he says as I pick another glass and prepare a drink for him

"That's strong" he says taking a sip "so would you like sharing one of the many things going on with you ?"

"Yejoon came by in the evening" I say recalling the event of the day

"That's a surprise,
What did the boy say ?"

"Money,
He wants us to invest in his new plan"

"What sort of plan is it ?" Dad interrogated

"Something that won't be useful for us.
I don't think I am going to invest.
It would be just a waste of our resources and neither was his way of asking nice
It looked like he was the one doing me favor" it actually did look like that,
The way he was sitting with his feet over my table and telling how our whole business should be his

"So you looking into the matter like a business man" he said taking another sip from his glass

"Yes and isn't that the right thing to do" I say,
Business comes first
Why to do anything that can harm your business.
Because our business is what brings us all the power and reputation we have

"I never said you are doing the wrong thing" he said with a chuckle "What I am trying to say is that, sometimes we need to change our point of view and look into the situation from a different angle.
Your cousin Yejoon, how often you see him in our office asking for help"

"We'll that's one way to ask for help" I cut in

"The thing is
You yourself think, he must need money in his business really bad, otherwise he would never let his pride down by asking us for help.
Even though they don't consider us their family anymore that doesn't change the fact that it is my brother's business here on the line" he spoke continuing

"But he was fucking rude,
Talking shit about us and our business.
Said that how our business belongs to him and he should be the ceo"

"He has some truth to it,
That boy lost everything because of the mistakes made by his father.
Look, I won't tell you what to do
I know that you will make the right decision.
After all I made you the ceo because I know you are the responsible and will do what should be done" he said placing a reassuring hand over my shoulder

The trust that he has in me is what made me what I am today.
It is because of his trus,t I worked so hard and brought our enterprise here,
And I promise to never let him down

"So now let's get to the topic because of which you are up this late, sipping liquor.
I know Yejoon isn'tthe one keepingyou up"

I looked at him surprised,
How he hell does he know that this isn't the thing bothering me.
He is your dad Taehyung, Ofcourse he knows

"Can I ask you something ?" I asked him

"Sure, go ahead"

"You and mom had arranged marriage, right ?" I confirmed as he nodded in response
"Did you ever feel like she is not the right person ? and how did you start to love her ?, when did you knew that she is the one ?"

"We'll ofcourse I wasn't a big fan of this arrange marriage thing at first,
But I will be lying if I say I did not just fall in love with your mother when I saw her walk down the aisle in her beautiful white dress.
I still remember every single moement of that magnificent day" his lips curved into a fond smile as he spoke

"It was so simple for you"

It is not fair
How love can be so easy for someone.
Then there are people like me,
Who cannot understand their own feelings

"Love is the most beautiful thing ever and it isn't that difficult,
I don't know why people of you generation make it so complicated"

"Next month !" Mrs Kim exclaimed after Jungkook told everyone about him and Lisa getting married

He told his family after breakfast,
Taehyung and Mr Kim seem genuinely happy for him and support his decision.
Jennie who knew about this since last night was sitting their happily, she was more than ready to welcome Lisa into their family

Then there sat Nancy on the table with an unpleasant look on her face,
But looked like she was too afraid to say something because of the way Taehyung shut her down the last time she decided to talk shit about Lisa

Everyone could easily tell that Mrs Kim wasn't happy with what was going on,
But despite her displeasure she kept a smile on her face, or more like the most fake smile to ever exist.
She didn't want to make Jungkook upset
Because she very well remembers what happened last time,
He ran away from home and didn't came back till she finally agreed to his relationship and she doesn't want to get separated from her son again.
She loves her son.
So she decides to not show how mush disappointed she is in him.

Many would think that she is a terrible person with no humanity,
But for people like her
Their reputation is all that matters.
What would people think of the Kim's when there would be headlines on the news channels that 'the second son of the Kim's, Kim Jungkook married a person under qualified for him'

Mrs Kim also knew that it won't be easy for Lisa, when people would say numerous things about her 'she probably manipulated Jungkook to get marry him' 'I bet she is only behind him for his wealth'
