Forbidden Threads Of Fate | TaeKook

Taehyung winced in pain and knitted his eyebrows in pain. Trying to open his eyes slowly but didn't as he heard the ongoing commotion there.

"I'm really sorry,your excellency, but I didn't know that Hyuntae will attack him." Jimin begged for mercy,kneeling on the ground. He was afraid of many things and also felt very guilty after seeing Taehyung's condition. 

"The doctor said the glass was mere millimeters from severing the nerve. Do you even comprehend the gravity of this, Park Jimin?" Jungkook’s voice was cold, laced with unyielding authority.

"I understand, Your excellency, and I'm ready to take any punishment you offer, but all I'm asking is your forgiveness from heart. I don't want to lose my friend, so please, don't separate me from him." Jimin sobbed as he continued apologizing. 

"I will not repeat again.." Jungkook said ,now almost in a calm and reluctant tone.

"From this moment forth, you are forbidden from setting foot in this mansion, and you shall not cross paths with Taehyung again. Your recklessness has cost you the privilege of standing in his presence. Disobey, and you will face consequences far graver than mere exile." Jungkook declared in his cold and unwavering voice.

Taehyung opened his eyes after hearing Jungkook’s words ,and now every pair of eyes shifted at him. Meanwhile, Jungkook, who was visibly affected by the events till now,made his face emotionless like he didn't care at all.

"Tae....." Jimin whispered,voice shaky because of crying.

"My son..." Hana quickly hugged Taehyung, who winced slightly in pain.

"What's happening?" Taehyung bravely asked, and this time, he saw raging eyes of his father.

"Who allowed you to sneak out? Was it Jimin who forced you into this?" Jaehyun asked, furious with everything. 

Jimin hung his head low because he was responsible for everything, but hearing Taehyung's next words shocked him,making him quickly look up in utter disbelief. 

"No. It was my decision, and I forced Jimin to come with me." Taehyung said in a daring tone, looking at Jungkook instead of Jaehyun. 

Jungkook’s eyes again fell over the marks on Taehyung's neck and collarbones, feeling rage. He quickly looked away,not trying to be obvious. 

Unconsciously, Taehyung covered his exposed neck and collarbones with the blanket he was in. Jaehyun noticed it, and he was ashamed for whatever had done.

"His excellency has already declared Jimin's punishment.  He's not allowed to meet you ever again, nor can he step in this mansion again. " Jaehyun uttered, feeling bad for Jimin now.

"No! Why? He did nothing!" Taehyung shouted in defense and saw everyone just hanging their head down,not daring to go against Jungkook's orders. 

"He did nothing wrong! Your Exce--" Before Taehyung could say anything Jungkook, Jungkook walked out, making his way towards his room.

"Tae.....he already declared the punishment.  It's better of Jimin accept it and you too. Let's not extend this matter,you've already created a havoc." Hana said,trying to sound strict but failed after seeing Jimin's vulnerable condition.

"Who's he to punish people? I'm not tolerating any of this!" Taehyung protested.

"Who are you not to tolerate this? Do you even know what you've done? Do you have any idea? You didn't even think about our image before doing those dirty things! You carry these marks over your neck like pride, but they show the loose character of yours!" Jaehyun spat,angry with the situation that he didn't notice when he crossed the boundaries of words.
