Chapter 54: Woe

Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

Taehyung needs to give himself a pat for immediately recovering after he tensed in Jeongguk's arms at Hyunwoo's words.

He knew and was dreading this day, the mere mention of the file and how it had held the absolute grief and pain of and about the man he loves so much and how it had made to be a lie in it just to push him away from him but it won't work. Taehyung won't let it happen.

"What present?" Taehyung frowns, feels Jeongguk's eyes on him for a moment and then towards Hyunwoo again.

"Oh? Playing innocent are we?" Hyunwoo chuckles.

"I'll tell you if you'll tell me what the fuck you are talking about." Taehyung seethes while his heart threatens to beat out of this chest.

"You're meaning to tell me you didn't get the file?" Hyunwoo is still amused, still doesn't believe Taehyung.

There was no file. Nothing happened at my apartment. Yoongi had clearly meant that this subject never be brought up even between them let alone someone else. He's meant that Taehyung deny it all.

So he's doing it. "Like I said, I don't know what you're fucking talking about." Taehyung utters.

"What is it, another sick game of yours?" Jeongguk speaks up before Hyunwoo can say anything.

"I am sick?" Hyunwoo laughs. "Wait until your little boyfriend knows how sick you are."

Jeongguk heaves a breath and Taehyung's heart aches for him, knowing very well what Hyunwoo had meant but Jeongguk doesn't know.

He doesn't know that Taehyung is aware and if ever needed, at any moment, he'll take his pain for himself if he had to. Just so Jeongguk would stop hurting by it.

"I love him despite anything." Taehyung speaks. "I will always love him regardless of the pain you caused him because I know him more than you ever could!"

"You don't get to fucking keep reminding him and even if you do, I'll take it with him." Taehyung grits his teeth.

"You think he's alone and that is your biggest fucking misunderstanding." Taehyung is livid and had it not been Jeongguk's hand holding his own and holding him back, he would've marched upto that fucker and showed him what Jeongguk had been teaching him in the ring.

"He has friends and he has me. Those are the people who were ways with him when you, as a father should've been but fuck you because you're the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen and you're not half a man that he is. Never can be." Taehyung utters, feels his body trembling with anger.

"So fuck you, you insolent, absolute motherfucking scoundrel!" Taehyung yells.

"You're going to rot in your life and best believe we'll enjoy every second of it." Taehyung utters, his voice low and he watches the hardened expression on Hyunwoo.

As if that fucker knows how he can't break them apart no matter how much he tries.

"You have nothing to do with him anymore so don't be pathetic and meddle in his life. Your desperation is fucking drooling off your lips." Taehyung scoffs.
