A Gift

Jimin looks back in confusion but his eyes widened slightly looking at her "y-you?"

Flashback two years ago

Jimin steps out of a store after getting some new colours for his new art work, he is wearing loose jeans with a t-shirt and a mask, only his eyes are visible. Suddenly he heard a girl scream from an alley. He frowns in confusion and without realising follows the painful scream of the girl as he reaches the turn of the alley, he sees a man slapping a girl and she loses her balance about to fall down when he holds her arm balancing her body, preventing her from falling.

The girl looks up and for a moment Jimin just gets lost in her innocent eyes that was filled with tears, he looks in his eyes. How her long lashes damp with her tears... how her hair strands sticking to her cheeks because of tears. Jimin stared at her still holding her arms, but his jaw clenched when he saw the fingers marks of that man on the girl's cheek because of slap. Jimin looks at the man "what the hell you think you are doing ?!" That man looks at him without any hint of regret or guilt "just mind your business... She is my wife...I can't do anything I want with her."

Jimin clenches his fist to control himself from punching the man across the face "so what if she is your wife huh?! it didn't give you any right to raise your hands on her!". That man stepped forward looking at Jimin "fvk off... Mind your own business." Before Jimin could react to the girl... Herself walks towards her husband while crying silently, it breaks his heart because he sees the helplessness in her actions like she doesn't have anyone to protect her and she knows that she has to stay with the monster her husband is.

Her husband holds her wrist harshly and starts dragging her away while Jimin keeps staring at her, she once looks back at him with her innocent eyes, tears keep falling from her eyes. Jimin unconsciously takes a shaky breath like he can't handle the amount of pain her eyes are conveying.

Flashback ends

Hana looks at Jimin with a frown "uhm... I'm Hana." Jimin's expression suddenly changes "oh so you are the girl... Taehyung's ex-girlfriend with whom he is having an affair."

Hana shook her head immediately "no... It's not true... Yes Taehyung and I have a history which didn't end well but there is nothing going on between us."

Jimin scoffs as if not believing her and looks away, Hana stares at him helplessly "please believe me... m-my husband... he was a monster... he used to beat me everyday... had multiple affairs... I only had my father in this world and after his passing my husband threw me out of the house with divorce papers."

Her voice quiver while Jimin remains silent, he knows that her husband raises his hand on her, he sees it himself but he won't confess it to her. Hana sniffs slightly "I had no one to ask for help... I had nowhere to go, I-I was on the street for a week... One day I accidentally bumped into Taehyung and told him everything... and h-he just without any thoughts took me to his house... Where he and Y/N both live."

Jimin looked at her without any expression, Hana wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes "he helped me when I had no one... He helped me out of respect for our past, he helped me because any man with values has done the same... he didn't help me because he loved me... no."

Hana looks down as if ashamed "yes for a mere second I wished that I could get at Y/N place... that I could be happy with Taehyung... B-But that thought was just for a second maybe because I never experienced the care... The love from my husband... It was more like... I envy Y/N."

Hana looks up towards Jimin who is looking at her silently with a stoic face "once I asked Taehyung why he chose Y/N... he said, people like Y/N are gifts from God... that she is special in this ordinary world... that she is not known as Kim Taehyung wife.... But he Kim Y/N husband."
