"Because I love you."
The moment she heard those words, the puppet-like Im Jennie completely collapsed. Tears began to fall like a broken string of pearls, unable to stop.
Across the glass, Kim Taehyung felt pain as he saw the tears fall from her eyes. He placed his hand on the glass window, wanting to wipe her tears, yet it was all but futile. In the end, he said with an aching heart: "Jennie, don't cry."
But, how could she stop the tears? Jennie cried until she almost fainted. Separated by the glass, Taehyung continued to console her in a gentle voice. That voice made her think back to a time where if she cried and make a scene, he would drop everything, no matter what it was, and come to accompany and coax her with that same gentle voice of his.
She had been a fool to have believed that they had only had siblings' affection. She had been a damn fool to have caused him to take the blame for her.
"Taehyung, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jennie asked tearfully.
Taehyung just smiled.
He didn't give her an answer as she knew what the answer was. Even if he told her, it would have been useless. Because at that time she had been obsessed with Kim Namjoon. In her eyes, there was no one else but Kim Namjoon. Having understood this, Jennie cried more tears.
The guard urged Jennie away as the prison visiting hour was over.
Taehyung called Jennie.
Jennie held the receiver and leaned towards the glass crying and gasping for breath. She braced herself to hear what he had to say.
"Jennie, I cannot be by your side to guard you anymore. You must take good care of yourself. Don't be so willful anymore. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes." Jennie nodded absentmindedly.
"Jennie... "
"Yes, yes."
"Don't marry Kim Namjoon. Find a man who will truly love you. When you do find him, be good to him, and live a good life, understand?"
"Yes, yes."
Taehyung continued to speak endlessly. This was the first time in Jennie's entire life that she didn't find his lecturing annoying. She earnestly responded, even though she didn't hear a single word.The guard warned them to speed it up. Taehyung finally gave Jennie a profound glance, put down the receiver, and finally got up to leave.
Jennie suddenly stood up and started hitting the window hard, despite the guard's warning. She pointed at the receiver.
Taehyung sounded an apology to the guard and, once again, picked up the receiver.
Jennie looked at Taehyung through the glass. This once handsome man had always paid attention to cleanliness, but after some short months, that man was no more. He had stubble that he seemed to have missed while shaving hastily. His face had become yellowish and unusually haggard, except his eyes. His eyes were still as brilliant as they were before. It seemed like the hardships of life had not affected him. As Jennie looked, she felt a burst of sadness. Taehyung opened his mouth to hurry her up. Then, Jennie said in unswerving arrogance, "Taehyung, you know that I am willful and selfish, therefore indulge me once again for the last time. Wait for me okay? I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you. You wait for me, or else don't even think about having a good life after. You know that I can make one's life a living hell!"She was always a vicious woman. Forcing people to do the things and never knowing how to repent, nevertheless, she was proud of it.
At the beginning, Taehyung had not understood what she was speaking about. When he had figured it out, Jennie had smiled, put down the receiver, and gone out.
