Mr. Arrogant [book 3] || Kim Taehyung [COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

"Hyejin!" Taehyung shouted.

I collapsed onto my knees as everything slowly became black. My legs hurt, my arms hurt but my chest hurt the most. After singing the duet, most of the energy I saved from today was gone. I couldn't feel anything, it was as if I had lost control over my body. But I could feel Taehyung shaking me though.

"Hyejin!" people shouted. My eyes opened for a second before they closed again. The only thing I could hear now were my shallow breaths. One.. two... three.... four..... One by one they grew slower and slower. My body became weaker and weaker as I felt myself being lifted up by someone. They were running and I was set on a seat. I recognized it as Tae's car. I managed to open my eyes again, seeing Taehyung's worried expression.

"Hyejin, stay with me. Breathe." he said, holding onto my hand. I mustered all the energy I could to give his hand a last reassuring squeeze before I couldn't hold on anymore.

Taehyung's POV

"Your wife is mentally and physically tired. It is recommended that she stays in bed rest for the next week. More sleep will not help the problem she has. But if she starts to show signs of memory loss, or exhaustion that lasts for more than 24 hours, it would be wise to come back to the hospital to get her checked up." the doctor said.

"Ne, kamsamida." I replied, looking through the window to her sleeping body on the bed. I bowed as the doctor walked away. I opened the door and walked in quietly, not wanting to wake her from her sleep. I sat on the chair that was beside her bed and took her hand into mind. Her cold hand sent discomforting goosebumps up my arms. She was sick and there was nothing I could do to help her.

"Hyejin-ah, I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do." I sniffled, looking down onto the floor, letting my tears drip down onto the ground.

I looked at her pale face and thought of the times we fought and argued. Those times weren't necessary but I would choose and pick fights, sometimes she would too because we didn't have anything to do. We didn't treasure our relationship like we were supposed to. Why am I thinking like this? It's not like she is going to die.

"T-taehyung." she whispered.

"I'm here Hyejin." I replied, holding her hand even tighter.

"I'm worse? Aren't I?" she whispered.

I couldn't bring myself to tell her about what the doctor said about her getting worse.

"I'm taking that as a yes." she says before I can even speak up and reply.

"Well, no, the doctor said you just need bed rest for a week. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of Taeguk on my own. I can always get my parents to take care of her too." I said. What I said was true. I wanted to take care of Taeguk, just as how Hyejin took care of her when I wasn't there.

*Flashback*

I walked into the building and saw my dad waiting in front of the elevator. The last time I talked to him was that night when Hyejin and I went over to my parents house for dinner. I awkwardly stood beside him, waiting for the elevator.

"Good morning, son." he said, clearing his throat.

"Good morning, appa." I replied. I needed to make it look like nothing was weird between us because people were watching. If someone found out that we weren't getting along, rumors can start spreading which means less money for the company and more money for the media companies.

The elevator finally arrived and I stepped in first, pressing the 25th floor. The elevator ride was the most painful part. I was stuck at the back of the elevator with twenty other people and the ventilation wasn't that great either. My dad was beside me but I could tell he was used to it. After five floors, everyone had cleared out from the elevator. I took this opportunity to talk to my dad.

"Appa, I'm resigning." I said.

"Mwo? Resigning? Wae?" he replied, looking at me.

"Hyejin can't be the only one taking care of Taeguk. I need to do my part as well. She's waited long enough." I said.

Nothing came out of my dad's mouth except for a sigh. I watched him carefully and I could see he was thinking about the consequences of me resigning.

"Alright. But what about the project you are currently handling?" he asked.

"My assistant is willing to take it on." I replied.

"Mm. You will not need to resign. I will just say you will be taking a short break to spend time with your family." he grunted.

"Ne. Kamsamida." I bowed.

The elevator door opened and we stepped out together. At least that was off my shoulders. Now, there was just one more thing.

"Appa, can I talk to you in your office?" I asked.

He nodded and we walked together to his office. All the staff were lined up and bowed when we passed by. I didn't expect them to do it but my dad would always expect them to do it. I politely bowed back to them and I could see some of them smile at me or wave at me. As soon as my dad closed his room door, everyone scrambled back to work.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said when we came over for dinner." I said.

"I understand. Your mother and I discussed it after you guys left and we see what we have done wrong. We are sorry as well, son." he said.

"I will bring Taeguk over soon." I said.

He nodded and sat down on his office chair as I got up and opened his office door. I walked out and shut the door behind me, letting out a breath. Now everything was off my back.

*End of Flashback*

"Taehyung-ah." Hyejin whispered, shaking my hand lightly.

I looked up and saw her staring at me with a worried face.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"You shouldn't be asking me what's wrong. Are you feeling okay?" I replied.

She nodded and asked me the same question. I sighed and explained everything to her. She nodded understandingly and smiled.

"That's good you talked to your dad. Now you guys are all good?" she said.

I half nodded and she nodded in response. There was a knock on the door and the boys came trailing in.

"Hyejin-ah, gwenchana?" they peeped.

"Yeah, I'm alive." she smiled.

They nodded and all stood around the bed, Rap Monster hyung standing behind me. Suga hyung and Jimin put their hands in their pockets and took something out. They opened their palms and in their palm sat a little chocolate.

"They made these for each one of us. We told them we could give it to you since we were coming to visit you." Suga said, handing his to Hyejin.

Jimin gave me mine and I looked at it. It had a sticker with my name on it and a cute bear on it. I guess this was the reunion favors. Hyejin smiled and set her chocolate on the side of her table. Her eyebrows suddenly creased and she looked up at Yoongi and Jimin.

"Wait, where did you guys get them from?" she asked.

The boys looked at each other and they looked at me. Did she forget where we just were?

"Hyejin, do you remember where we were before we came to the hospital?" I asked.

"At home."
