THE CONTRACT || KV√ [Under Editing]

Part 37

Sensing her presense, everyone stands up, but only Taehyun approaches her,"We broke your engagement with jungkook." He deadpans.

"What?" She would say they might be pranking her but, they never come up with these kind of ridiculous 'jokes'. Their expression couldn't be mistaken.

And so, chaeyoung told her everthing they talked about at jeons.

Chaeyoung and Taehyun went full on about the curse and their lies but, they were the least of her concern.

Jungkook. He was the only one she could think about.

"W-why?" She breaks down, dropping to the floor as her shoulders slumped down and tears began to flow.

Chaeyoung immediately hugged her.

"M-mom, its- its not just about business anymore." She looks up at her parents,"I-I love him, dearly."

That surprises both the parents but Chaeyoung speaks up again,"it's all their plan. If the rumours weren't true, Hannah would've already been Jungkook's wife then why hasn't it happened? Why did they choose jungkook to get married with you instead of Hannah, who Namhee has adored since forever?"

Taehyung couldn't grasp anything, her mind was spinning.

"You should leave his company too. It will only hurt." Chaeyoung says before standing up, knowing she'd need time and space.

When they both walked away, Jimin, who had been silence till now approaches her,"I dont totally believe in the rumours, and nor do you but, what aunty said is true. Think it through, i will support your every decision." He says, making her get up from the floor.

And even after all the thoughts running through her mind, the moment she got in her room, laid freely in her bed and closed her eyes, all she could see was jungkook. She has gotten so smitten.

All the moments they had together flooded back, a tear escaping her closed eyelids at the play.

And as much as she was so madly in love, she knew, jungkook was no better, eyes don't lie afterall.

Next day, despite her parents protest she left her home for work.

Her parents are right in their own place but this was her life. They always wanted her best but she wanted to live for herself, even if that's just for a while.

And thus, with much determination, she enters the office only to be greeted with empty desk.

Ofc. He'd know too.

She goes to her desk,  assuming he'd come late but even when it was almost time for the end of the work day,  he didn't arrive.

So prior to the actual end, Taehyung walks out of the building, driving to god knows where.

.

Aftet successfully avoiding taehyung for the day, he was going back to his mansion.

When taehyung was at the door of his offices, he had caught the sight from a far, and decided it'd be better if they dont face eachother again after what happened.

It wont be taking long before the news starts spectaculating and he doesn't want further problem. So he had decided to fire her too.

But the other part of him was just as broken, staying away from Taehyung has eventually turned into a nightmare, a horrendous nightmare that he so badly wants to wake up from, but cant.

How helpless. How pathetic.

He hits the steering wheel, clenching his jaw when a tear fell from his eyes. He made no effort to wipe it, until he saw a figure at the roadside.

Squinting eyes, he could not be mistaken. It was Taehyung.

He almost thought to pass by but it was quite a cozy noon but taehyung seemed to be pouting.

When she looks at his way, she smiles immediately, standing at the way of his car, due to which, he had to stop the car.

As he got out of the vehichle, taehyung walked up to him.

"Why didn't you show up at work today? I missed you." Taehyung says, followed by a habitual pout which jungkook always found so endearing.

He avoids her questioning gaze,"Our engagement is over. Its better if we stay apart." He says, trying to sound as mean as he could but, his shaky voice gave away.

Yet, he maintained his cold demeanor.

Taehyung tilts her head, "Is that why you haven't thrown my ring yet?" That makes hin glance at his hand, the silver ring shining so proudly, declaring he's taken.

All the emotions flooded back in him, her voice reminding him of every moment tgey dpent together. The laughs,the fights and the love in their eyes.

With much difficulty, he meets her gaze and then her hands,"And you?" He questions, looking at her ring.

"I dont want it to get over." Her voice, laced with so much sincerity and vulnerability speaks up. Just as much affected.

She gazes up at him with big eyes, red and teary,"Even if its just for a day. I cannot live without you. Please dont abandon me." And there she says, what she's been longing to say since a long time.

What she appreciates and what she's afraid of. Her eyes held the sincerity along with the longing tears, and tears of fear.

Jungkook breaks down at the sight, "I-i dont want to risk your life. Please get over it. You deserve better." He replies avoiding her gaze as to not tear up because, the weight in his hear has just increased to much more than he could hold.

He could not dare to keep holding her hurt gaze, he knows he would give in.

Jungkook was about to get in the car when taehyung tugs his hand,"No!" She pleads.

"I dont want to stay away from you. I dont care about the rumours. I only care about you, even if i d!e, I'll d!e happy, if you hold me till the end. I love you, please stay with me."

The rushed words still represwnted her fear but love. Her only wish and only happiness, she revealed it right away. Now afraid of nothing, if that's what written in her fate, she'll let it be. But before that, atleast she would get to spend her time with someone who she has grown to be so attached to.

Someone who she has grown to love.

Every words sinked in so deep in him, he ends up embracing her.

As he held her close to her, it didn't surprise him when tears started escaping his eyes. He knew he craved it. He craved her. To all the extents. So he made no efforts to wipe away the truth.

"I'm just as lost without you." He says, his voice groggy, "And I wont let anything happen to you. We'll fight it through. I love you Taehyung. You're my everything."

There the words escape his lips. The words which he means by heart, which he remembers as the only truth, only right thing. He could think of nothing but how he loves taehyung and how he'd never let him get hurt. And so he says, the words that are far from being empty.

Hugging him back, "I love you too" taehyung replies, feeling the sincerity and vulnerability in his voice as he confessed.

Funny how despite their defiance, they found their way back to eachother.

To seal their confession, they mold their lips together onto a much needed kiss.

Washing away all the troubles and turmoils.
