Since 1894 [CAPTAIN JEON]

Chapter 45

Jungkook sat bolt upright as soon as he felt himself drifting asleep. He saw the moon and its approximately 10 in the evening.

He's been waiting for 9 hours now. But he made his waiting time productive since he did some important works.

But up to now, Tae hasn't come.

He thought that maybe he's just busy. Maybe he's doing something right now, and he'll come later.

But he's been thinking that for the past few hours and even Tae's shadow wasn't seen.

He felt a bit unmotivated, but he still wanted to wait for him.

"He'll come, he will."

While on the other hand, Tae was standing right in front the camp gate. It was his turn to guard it until 12 in midnight.

He was still, but his thoughts were so occupied.

He knew Jungkook was waiting. But he wasn't ready for what he's gonna say.

Truth hurts, eh?

Right before his eyes, woman on horse with another guy on another horse.

It was quite odd for him too see that especially that there is a curfew for people when night.

The face became clear, and he can hear his heart break again when he saw Lisa Jungkook fiancée.

Lisa went down the horse and they bowed to each other. Luckily, Tae was with his other team mate on duty so he's not alone.

"Goodevening Miss Manoban, Captain Jeon is inside his office."

Tae immediately said without having an eye contact with her.

He heard Lisa chuckled.

"I'm not here for him. But rather for you." Tae immediately looked up to surprise, what did she just say?

"Me?" He asked again, cuz what if he's just hearing things?

Lisa nodded, "Yes. I need to talk to you." She said and Tae felt nervous.

"Can I borrow him for awhile?"

She asked the other soldier, and he nodded. "Don't worry, it wont be long. My guard can substitute him for awhile."

They went beside the camp where there is a small park. Its night, but the sky is brighter than black.

"What can I do for you Mrs. Jeon?"

Lisa giggled. "Mrs. Jeon?" She asked and Tae nodded. "You're his fiancée, you're soon to be a Jeon."

He flashed a smile, even though he's dying emotionally. His heart is aching knowing that he's talking to the person who is going to marry the person he loves.

"Actually," Lisa sat on the bench near the tree. "I'm here to talk to you about that."

Tae gulped, he doesn't know why he's nervous. He's always avoiding this topic, but now it has come to an end.

"W-What about it?" He asked, sitting not far beside her.

Lisa sighed, "Jungkook trusts you, so I know that I can trust you too." Tae slowly nodded. "But promise me that you won't tell anyone about everything that I'll tell you."

What is this? Why is it scaring him to death? "I promise."

Within just words, its enough to make Taehyung freeze. Literally freeze he has stopped breathing for a while.

"We're not truly fiancées." Eyes shot open in the state of shock, unable to blink. Lisa was expecting that reaction.

"What...?" Tae has so many questions, but only that word came out from his mouth.

"I know what you two have in between. And I'm telling you this because I don't want to ruin anything."

Without noticing, tears fell from Tae's eyes joy
and sadness either of the two.

"T-then why did you two pretend to be that?" He asked, he feels so confused. What's the need of pretending about that?

Lisa sighed. "I can't tell you everything yet. But thank you for saving him in the court. I hired an attorney for him but your father killed her."

"Your father hired a judge to set him up in death sentence so since I have some connections in the court, I changed the judge that attended the hearing. Jungkook was supposed to be the attorney to himself but you   made it easier for him. Thank you so much."

"I have many more to tell you but I think that's his job now."

Tae has no words left in him, but the tears won't stop falling. He can't believe what he's hearing.

"He's waiting for you, please go talk to him. He's been talking and thinking about you ever since that day."

"I-I can't, I'm scared-"

Lisa held his hand to comfort and make him feel better.

"You don't have too. He trusts you and I hope you do too. Jungkook loves you so much and only the gods know how much. I know you do too. I did my part, now its your turn to fix each other."

It took Tae awhile to sink in everything that Lisa told him. But he thought she's right.

"I guess you're right. Nothing will happen if I'll just avoid him."

They stood up and Tae dried his tears. "Thank you so much for telling me. I assure you that you can trust me."

Lisa smiled, she felt happy that she knew he helped. She's quite feeling guilty because she knew that Tae was avoiding Jungkook because of her, and she can't take the guilt anymore.

"B-But, are you not disgusted of a man inlove with a man?"

Tae asked, he felt quite scared.

Lisa shook her head. "Why would I be? I mean it's quite weird and new for me but I think we should normalize that."

Tae felt touched about her words, he felt guilty for being mad at her. She's a nice girl.

They went back to the gate and right before Lisa leaves, she spoke.

"Mr. Kim, please always be careful. Especially of your dad." Tae felt like it has other meanings, but he let it slide.

He flashed a sincere smile and nodded, then Lisa left.

I want to run to him already but I need to finish my duty first.

Just 2 more hours, pls wait for me jungkook...
