Hoseok took a step closer to the younger male... Making Taehyung feel dizzy in that intoxicating smell of his cologne... "Aren't you suddenly too excited to divorce me?" The younger male lifted his eyes to meet with those dark orbs... "Isn't that what you wanted all the while?" When he just got a blank look from his husband, Taehyung continued "But... I have a condition... I will sign the divorce paper... However... I need One Billion Won as compensation" That would be enough money for his father's treatment to keep going seamlessly after he leaves this world
Hoseok darkly chuckled "I always knew you are after my money you fucking gold digger... You know what? A slut like you doesn't deserve a single penny from me " Taehyung's heart clenched but he maintained a poker face just like his husband's "Then you can't get a divorce either and let me remind you until you divorce me Jimin can never be your legal husband"
Before Hoseok could reply, Taehyung continued “By right, I could have taken half of your net worth, Mr. Jung... But I only asked you for One Billion Won... When it comes down to it, I’m still being benevolent...” Hoseok stepped forward, casting a long shadow over the younger male... He held Taehyung's chin with his slender fingers and said in a deep, cold voice.. “What did you call me?”
“Mr. Jung, if you don’t like this form of address, then I don’t mind referring to you as my ex-husband...” Taehyung's arrogant expression displeased the older male... “This is my house... Who gave you the right to ask me to leave?” he said...
Taehyung smirked and said, “Indeed, I do not have the right... Don’t worry, Mr. Jung... I will move out after receiving the divorce certificate...” Hoseok clenched his jaw and pulled Taehyung towards him by his waist "Don't call me that" he slowly growled against the younger male's lips...
"Then what exactly do you want me to call you, a gold digger's poor victim?" Taehyung innocently asked with a smitty smirk on his face which is giving him a next level of satisfaction knowing older male must be hating it
Hoseok let go of Taehyung and walked into their once shared bedroom... Initially, the older male was planning to stay as they had to visit the Town Hall next morning to finalise their divorce... Taehyung, however, decided to spend a nice time in the nursery he and Hoseok spent months decorating... The raven haired male ran his fingers on the empty crib "I am sorry, baby... Appa couldn't save you... I failed to protect you... Don’t be afraid... I will be with you soon..."
He again bit his lips to prevent himself from crying but unintentionally a drop of tear escaped from his eye making him chuckle before softly wiping his tears "No Taehyung, You are going to unite with your baby... This calls for a celebration not tears" he said to himself which made a few more tears to escape from the corner of his eyes unintended, Taehyung smiled widely and started tapping both of his cheeks with his palms slightly "Hoseok is finally getting rid of you... It's a good thing... Yeah a good thing... It's gonna end soon"
Before dawn the next morning, Taehyung was already fully dressed as he looked down at his own smiling face in the photo they’d taken outside the City Hall after they registered their marriage...
In the blink of an eye, 5 years had passed since then... He prepared a breakfast that was good for the stomach... Although he didn’t have much time left to live, Taehyung wanted to live longer to take care of her father... As he was about to wash the dishes, Taehyung's phone started ringing... “Taehyung, Mr. Kim had a heart attack. We have already sent him into the emergency ward...” The raven haired male felt his world stop... “I’ll be there right away!” He rushed to the hospital, not thinking about anything else... but the surgery was still ongoing...
The surgery took 6 hours to complete and those 6 hours were no less than 10 deaths. Together he was continuously playing for his father's wellbeing but his heart stopped beating the moment he saw Yoongi walking out of the OT in a devastated state... Taehyung's throat went dry "A-Appa?" He asked with all the courage he had left "Sorry... We tried our best"
Time seemed to stand still as the weight of those words settled over Taehyung like a suffocating blanket, robbing him of breath and leaving him numb with shock and disbelief... The world around him blurred into a haze of pain and sorrow, and he struggled to comprehend the magnitude of the loss that now hung heavy in the air...
Tears stung Taehyung's eyes as he struggled to find his voice, to articulate the anguish that threatened to consume him whole... Memories of his father flooded his mind, a bittersweet symphony of laughter and love, now forever silenced by the cruel hand of fate... Then Yoongi continued "After the surgery, he slipped into a coma" Taehyung looked at the older male and blinked... "Hyung, are you mad? Who takes a pause in between such sentences? You idiot... I literally thought I lost my father" He had already lost everything... His only hope was for his father to live on in good health...
A nurse handed Taehyung a receipt... “Mr. Kim, this is the total bill for your father’s emergency treatment and surgery...” The younger male scanned through the details and found that the total bill amounted to more than 20 lakh Won. His father's daily treatment expenses already cost 5 lakh per month, and he only barely managed to make ends meet by working three jobs...
Seeing Taehyung's distress the doctor cleared his throat "I know it's not my place to say and even after knowing that you will reject it... Can I pay his bills for now" Yoongi immediately raised his hand up in surrender seeing Taehyung's soul piercing glare "Now don't kill me with these states and listen... I can pay the bill for now and you can return the amount on an EMI basis with a 10% increment? It's my profit in the long run so I am not doing any favour... Now please stop staring at me you look really scary like this"
Taehyung shook his head... "You don't have to... just take care of my father... I will be back with the money" Without waiting for the reply, Taehyung walked away and dialed Hoseok's number "Where the fuck are you?" the older male raging voice made it's way to Taehyung's ear "I need half of the compensation money now and will sign the divorce paper tomorrow" A mocking chuckle was heard from the other end "How fool do you think I am, Taehyung?" The younger male sighed "Listen... I am serious... It's about my father"
"Is he dead?" The question made Taehyung feel breathless, why would Hoseok ask something like that... "No, he suffered a heart attack and went under surgery... I have to pay for his hospital bill" Hoseok scoffed
"I would rather pay someone to remove his oxygen pipe"
