[Taehyung's POV]

My heart was beating so fast. I couldn't believe she confessed her love. She was so shy that she hung up before I could enjoy the moment but at least she loves me too. I didn't know why no one believed in love at first sight.

Well! I also didn't believe it at first but after meeting YN, I fell for her. I thought it was just attraction at first but when my mother cleared my view I realised I fell for her. So hard that I didn't want to come back to life again. As if she captured my soul and heart with her.

I told my mom as she was the only one who understood me besides my best friend but she said it was impossible as we had been rivals since ages. And most importantly, dad hates her father and vice versa. But I knew what I had to do. 

I called Jimin and Jungkook and told them what I had to do. It was risky but I know at the end it will be worth it. I could do anything to make her mine. Now first I need to break this freaking engagement. I called Suga hyung and asked for all the evidence against her dad.

Areum was the only obstacle for now. After a few minutes, Suga send all the pictures of her dad with different men, dealing with drugs and weapons and also some Areum's pictures with other ministers. It was so intimate.

"Suga hyung, post this all with an anonymous account. And let it spread." Suga smirked and nodded. "I will make her mine soon." Taehyung smiled and closed his eyes, feeling a ray of euphoria running through his veins, making his heartbeat fast.

Suddenly his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, a smirk formed in his face. "Finally." He mumbled under his breath before receiving the call.  "Yes dad?" He said as soon as he heard his father. "Taehyung! Come to the office. Right now." He said coldly and hung up the call.

He smiled and went to his office where most of their meetings were held. He was smiling ear to ear, thinking his first step was clear now. But as soon as he entered the office, his smile faded. Hyungmin, Areum's dad and Areum were already there.

"Come here, Taehyung." His dad gestured to him to come and sit beside him. He glared at his father, standing in the same place. "Dad! Why are they here?" He asked coldly, glaring at Areum and Hyungmin but both of them were unbothered.

"Taehyung! Watch your tone. He is your father-in-law." He growled loudly but Taehyung didn't even flinch. Instead he scoffed at his father's remark. "Father-in-law? Who? As far as I know I am not married. At Least not with this whore." He glared at Areum.

"How dare you call my daughter a whore?" Hyungmin stood up but couldn't take a step further when Taehyung growled at him. "Taehyung! Look son! It's politics. These are nothing new. Someone edited their pics." His father tried to convince him.

"Wait until Suga finds the video." Taehyung mumbled under his breath. Areum rolled her eyes at him. "I am going to call off this engagement." He walked out without waiting for his father's reply. He could hear him yelling his name but nothing could stop him.

"Suga hyung! Upload all the videos you found. We have no choice now." Taehyung texted Suga and entered the car to drive to his secret place where he found peace, away from all the chaos and cheating of this cruel world. 

His father was worse than anyone. He never imagined him turning blind eye to that bastard. He didn't know what kind of potion he made him drink that he couldn't see the truth. Now he would stand up for himself. For his love. He would make it possible.

Suddenly his phone rang. He was about to decline it but his finger stopped as soon as his eyes fell on the caller name. 'Scarlett.' His lips curved into a smile and without wasting a second, he slid the green button.

"Tae? Did you see the news?" Her voice was full of panic but he couldn't miss the slight excitement. He chuckled and looked down at the clean water. "Yes darling. I did. Are you happy?" He asked suddenly and the other side fell silent.

"You did it?" You asked after a minute. He just hummed and picked a pebble, throwing it in the lake. "Why?" You asked, feeling your heart beating faster. "For us." Your breath hitched as soon as those words escaped his lips. 

"I just love you so much, princess." He confessed again as if he wasn't tired of confessing again and again. A chuckle escaped your lips and a faint blush crept on your cheek. "I love you too. And I trust you. I will talk to dad." You smiled at your bravery.

"I am sure dad will understand but." You couldn't finish what you were about to say and he understood. He always understood as if you both were an unsolved puzzle who completed each other. "No matter what! I will never leave you, love." 

The honesty and love he had for you, made your eyes tear up. "I will wait for you." After a few chit-chat you both disconnect the call. "One last step. I am sorry, dad but you couldn't be my ideal dad." He mumbled and stood up.

"I will end everything here." He looked at the lake last time before walking away and drove to the election commision office. Everyone was astonished to see Kim Taehyung walking inside alone. 

Song daemin saw him and smiled at him. "Mr. Kim Taehyung. What can I do for you?" He asked politely, sitting on his chair. Taehyung's face was cold, unlike the soft, lovely guy. "Mr. Song, I want to remove my name." He said straightforwardly.

Daemin's eyebrow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at Taehyung. "I don't want to be the next candidate for the upcoming election." He cleared his point and looked straight at him. 

"But I can't do it without the approval of your father. He was the one who made you the candidate and if you don't want to be the candidate then we have to make legal papers and his signature of approval." Daemin stated calmly but Taehyung was getting impatient.

"Can't we do it another way?" He asked in a desperate tone but still maintained his cold posture. "I am sorry Mr. Kim but there is only this way." He said and Taehyung just cursed under his breath. 

"Also you can't just do it. If your dad didn't approve or file a lawsuit. I hope you understand what I am trying to say." Taehyung nodded and stood up, shaking hands with Daemin. "Thank you Mr. Song." Taehyung walked out with a frustrated sigh.

"I will never let you win dad. Never." He gritted his teeth but suddenly his phone rang. He furrowed his brows and received the call. "Yes mom?" He asked, confused as his mother barely called him.

"Son, come home fast." She said while crying, making him panic. He ran towards his car and drove off to his house. As soon as he entered the house, he was shocked to see the view. His mother was sitting on the ground.

Her head was resting on the couch and things were scattered around. The beautiful vase was broken into pieces. "Mom?" He called his mother softly. She looked at him with tear-filled eyes. His eyes widened more seeing her condition.

Her left cheek was swollen and the corner of her lips were bleeding slightly. He quickly ran towards her and engulfed her fragile figure in his arms. "Mom, who did this?" He asked, feeling horrified. Her next sentence shocked him.

"It's politics, son. Who else other than your dad can do this?" His eyes widened in shock but suddenly his mind somewhere else and he quickly hugged his mother tightly. "I will make him pay for what he did to us."
