13: Tears

Irene's POV

After Taehyung abandoned me, I headed inside the house, realizing that I have a corpse lying on the floor, and blood splatted everywhere. I wiped my tears and sighed.

"I guess I'm gonna have to clean up this mess as Min Young unnie (if you don't remember who she is go back to chapter 1) is in Busan right now to visit her family." I thought.

I decided to call the police. Even if they reach Tae, they have no reason to arrest him. He saved my life.

"Hello? Is everything alright?" The woman in the emergency hotline asked.

"Hello, I came home and found my appa dead on the floor!" I made it so I sounded worried.

"We'll send the police and ambulance to your house!" And immediately hung up.

I sighed, put down the phone and looked at the dead body.

I walked over to it and went onto my knees and bowed down to my father.

"Appa, I'm so sorry" I sobbed

"He didn't mean to kill you. He just thought it was the fastest way to stop you from hitting me. You've always given me everything I've wanted, and I've always been the bad child that never showed respect to you... I'm so sorry appa!" I sobbed.

When the police arrived, they started the investigation. I was continuously crying my eyes out. It was because of two reasons. I lost my father, and my other half. Yeah I know we're not married, but we got pretty serious about each other within a month.

Somehow, Wendy got to know about this and immediately came to my house to comfort.

"Joohyun -ah!" I heard her scream as she ran to me.

"Are you okay?" She yelled in concern and she was checking my body. She suddenly gasped.

"What are all these marks?" She asked me in a worried tone.

"They're whip marks." I answered her quietly not daring to look into her eyes. I was lifeless. I didn't care anymore. I realized tears stopped falling down my face, as I think I ran out of tears.

"Who did this to you?!"

"The man who's dead on the floor." I said pointing to appa's dead body.

"And you didn't feel the need to tell me, or ANYONE?!" She was mad that I kept such a big secret from her, my best friend.

"I did tell someone though." I said still looking off into space.

"Who was more important than me?!"

"Taehyung." Then I felt it, finally another tear escaped my eyes.

"Of course, you told your boyfriend." She said annoyed, with a hint of jealousy.

"I didn't tell him, he found out himself. In fact he found out before we started dating Wendy." I said finding the courage to look into her eyes.

"He did everything for me unlike appa." I said.

Wendy came closer to me and whispered.

"Did Taehyung do this?"

"No, he wouldn't dare do such a big action without a reason." I said which was both a lie and the truth.

"Irene, I think you need a break from all of this. Go somewhere and have time to yourself. You really need to." Wendy said.

"I agree, I need to get away from the busy city of Seoul. I'll go to Daegu. My grandparents are there, and it's been forever since I've seen them."

"Good just make sure you inform the school before you leave okay?"

"Can you tell them for me?" I asked her.

"For you, I'll do anything."

"Thanks Wendy!" I said pulling her into a hug.

"Anytime!" She said happily.

After appa's death his lawyer announced that all of his property and wealth are on my name. Meaning I was the only heir of the Bae family business.

-NEXT DAY-

The next morning I took my luggage up to the door, as my new driver was placing them in the car.

After the hour and forty minute drive, we arrived at Daegu. I missed the scent of Daegu. I also REALLY missed the satoori accents people were talking on the streets.

I told my driver to unpack my luggage and head back to Seoul and pick me up after a week. As I was in the middle of town,

I decided to head to the convenience store to buy a drink.

I was struggling to drag my luggage around the store as it was quite heavy. I wasn't looking where I was going as I bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I said with my head still low, trying to lift my luggage.

I heard no response from the person and look up to see who it was.

Taehyung....

He had his mouth gaped open, tears threatening to leave his eyes with beer in his hand. His eyes were begging for help.

He needed me as much as I needed him.
