Law Of Love

36) Breakfast

"So......about last night?" It was the next morning and right now Taehyung was at the breakfast table of the resort's restaurant along with Jungkook and all of his friends when Jimin suddenly decided to bring up the elephant in the room. And just like that the table fell into pin drop silence with every eyes strained towards Taehyung.

"And before you answer that, I just want to say that I am sorry. For saying all that about Ji-ah-ssi. But in my defense, I didn't know she was your fiancé. If I had known I would've never even looked at her let alone say such inappropriate things. So, if there is someone to blame here for my mishap, it's you. And we should be angry at you for hiding such important news from us in the first place." Jackson defended himself before Taehyung could tear into him. He had maintained his distance from Taehyung after the whole ordeal to allow him space to calm down and not beat the living shit out of him while he tried to hide his embarrassment.

"Ji-ah-ssi? Seriously? You changed your tune so fast. Just yesterday you were calling dibs on her like she was the last piece of fried chicken you wanted to devour. And now all of a sudden she went from hot and sexy to Ji-ah-ssi?" Yoongi smirked, making Jackson glare at him.

"Seriously though, Tae. Is she really your fiance? Are you really getting married? If so, then why didn't you tell us about it?" Wooshik asked, getting serious. Taehyung took a deep breath and looked at Jungkook, who gave him a silent nod and held his hand under the table to give him strength for what comes next and he could only pray to God that Taehyung's friends would understand him and won't turn their backs on him after hearing everything.

"I know you all have a lot of questions. And I wanted to tell everything to you guys before, but there was never a right time. But I guess, this is as good a time as any." Taehyung inhaled deeply, clutching Jungkook's hand before plucking up the courage to say the next words.

"Well, to start off and to answer your question, Sik, No, Ji-ah is not my fiance. She is just someone my family chose for me and is forcing me to marry...." No sooner had Taehyung spoke those words the table erupted into chaos.

"WHAT THE HELL."

"HOW DARE THEY."

"THE AUDACITY OF THAT GIRL TO CALL HERSELF YOUR FIANCE."

"Does that mean I can hit on her now?"

One by one his friends all exclaimed their thoughts while they all turned to Jacskon to glare at him, making him cover his face behind a menu and avoid eye contact with everyone.

"Well, I am not really surprised, actually. Both your brothers also had an arranged marriage at the age of 24. And you are going to turn 24 in a few months. We all should've expected it, to be honest." Yoongi explains, making them nod their heads in agreement.

"Yoongi is right. Taehyung's family is extremely traditional and old fashioned when it comes to these things. Especially his grandmother." Jimin agrees.

"What are you going to do now, Tae? How are you going to get out of this marriage? I can't say anything about the girl your family chose for you because we only met just yesterday and it's too early for me to make any sort of judgment on her. But if you don't like her and don't want to marry her, then we will support you in whatever decision you make." Wooshik spoke and once again everyone nodded their heads, agreeing to it.

"Exactly. No one can force my friend to marry someone against his wishes. Do you want us to kidnap her and torture her until she rejects you? Or better yet, how about we push her off some cliff here? No bride, no marriage. Simple." Jimin suggests, making everyone look at him weirdly.

"No one is killing anyone. And Tae isn't married yet. I am sure we can figure out a way to get him out of this mess without causing bodily harm to anyone." Wooshik comments.
