REWRITE THE STAR

CHAPTER 20

​Jimin stood in the middle of the private hospital room, his face bright red. If he were a cartoon, steam would literally be coming out of his nose and ears. He was shaking with pure, unadulterated rage...

The two people sitting in front of him swallowed hard, a little scared of their best friend’s fury....

​Taehyung was completely fine. He didn't have a single scratch on him. In fact, he looked incredibly relaxed, calmly peeling an orange and popping a slice into his mouth.

​Next to him, Jungkook was sitting up, looking slightly guilty. He gave Jimin a tiny, nervous smile and a weak wave.

​"Care to explain?" Jimin hissed, his voice trembling. "I almost had a heart attack! I thought you were dead! I cried all the way here!"

​Taehyung swallowed his orange and grinned.

"It had to look real, Jimin-ah. If you didn't cry, V wouldn't have believed it. We needed him to think he finally won."

​"So the car crash? The 'fatal' injuries?" Jimin yelled.

​"All fake," Taehyung said, pointing to the man standing by the door. "Those guys V sent to follow us? I handled them. They're currently 'sleeping' in the back of a van."

​Dr. Eunwoo laughed softly, stepping forward..

"The 'severe head trauma' was just a bit of clever acting and some very expensive medical records I faked for the system."

​
​Jimin turned his glare toward the other man in the room a tall, handsome man in a sharp suit. Jung Hoseok, a powerful CEO and, more importantly, Jimin’s husband.

​"And Hobi hyung!" Jimin turned his fury on his husband. "How could you do this to me? You were in on this too?"

​Hoseok rubbed the back of his neck, looking a bit sheepish. "Sorry, Minnie...."

Jimin’s gaze swept across the room, sharp and piercing enough to cut glass.

"I still don’t understand any of this," he bit out, his voice thick with a mix of lingering fear and fresh irritation.

​Taehyung leaned back against the pillows, letting out a dramatic sigh..

"Uff, okay, let me break it down for you.Jungkookie and I were driving along, acting all romantic. Just as I expected, a black SUV started following us. I knew they were V’s people because Hobi hyung had warned me beforehand."

Hearing that, Jimin looked back and forth between the two of them.

"How would Hobi hyung even know that? Don’t tell me..." Jimin pointed a finger at Hoseok. "Don’t tell me you’ve gone back to your hacking ways!"

​Taehyung and Hoseok both gave him a sheepish grin.

Actually," Taehyung continued, his tone turning a bit more smug,even this date was part of mine and Hobi hyung's plan," Taehyung continued. "When Hobi hyung went to V’s company the other day, he managed to discreetly hack into his phone. We planned everything from there. I headed toward the lake where Hobi hyung was waiting for us, with that SUV following right behind."

Flashback....

The moonlight reflected off the calm surface of the lake, but the atmosphere on the narrow road was anything but peaceful. Taehyung’s eyes flickered to the rearview mirror. The black SUV was gaining on them, its headlights blindingly bright.

"Kook, hold on tight," Taehyung muttered, a smirk playing on his lips. "It’s showtime."

He slammed on the brakes, the tires screaming as the car spun into a perfect 180-degree turn, blocking the road.
