23: Whatever It Takes

Taehyung's POV

I was dying to hug Irene as I knew it was her and probably Jungkook who helped convince the officers to free me on bail.

But what proof did they have, or what did they say that convinced them to free me within 4 hours of being arrested? I looked everywhere, probably looking like an idiot, for Irene even though it's only been around 3 hours. I hated the cell, it was nothing but cement walls and a cold, dirty floor. You think that Seoul could afford a decent police station, but no. They REALLY make the criminals of  this country pay.

I walked out of the cell hallway, into the main foyer of the building to see Joohyun and Jungkook talking to a tall man with wide, broad shoulders and a beard. He was wearing a suit. I couldn't really see his face.

Suddenly Irene turned and looked at me with tears filling her eyes. I didn't notice when mine started to do the same.

She ran into my arms leading to a tight and warm hug that I was dying for in that cold, empty cell.

"Are you okay???? Did anything happen when I was in jail??" I whispered into her ear. I tightened my grasp around her small waist. Her sobs were getting louder. Did I say something wrong?

"Thank you." She said in between her sobs.

"For what?"

"For saving me from someone I didn't even know. A monster was living with me..." Her voice was shaky. I looked up at Jungkook and was about to thank him for being there to support me, when he gave me a signal to thank the tall man they were talking to.

KIM JUNG SOO. HE'S BACK.

I loosened my grip around Joohyun as I was facing him with a smirk on his face. My hands were in a fist that wanted to punch that ugly expression right off of him.

"It's been a long time Kim. Tae. Hyung." His voice. I still remember his deep, rough, hypnotizing voice from years ago.

I went up to him and grabbed his collar.

"I'm done with you, you son of a bitch, I thought I got rid of you a while ago. You're supposed to be rotting in jail. Or better yet, hell. How dare you come back in my life, after what you've done. JUST LEAVE MY FAMILY AND I ALONE!!!!"

He was struggling, but eventually removed my hands from his collar.

"You're acting as if what I had done is worst than committing murder." He said with a smirk.

He pulled me to the side to talk. I looked over at Jungkook who's holding Joohyun, as she was loosing support in her legs.

She was terrified something was going to go wrong, or I would be hurt. I gave Jungkook the signal that I'll be okay.

"Listen. You may have deleted the pictures I have taken of your mother, but that doesn't mean you have no weakness."

"What are you trying to say?" I was curious at what he was trying to get at.

"I know all about your new life in Seoul. You hang out with Bangtan or BTS and are known to be one of the seven kingtas in your high school. You're sister, Kim Yeri is living with you and your BEAUTIFUL mother in Jungkook's house. The young man over there." He said looking at him holding Irene.

"And the BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, and VIVACIOUS lady worried sick about you is your girlfriend Bae Joohyun... A.K.A Irene. You may not know it but her father and I were very close friends."

"That explains why he was a monster like you."

"I know. He was abusing Joohyun right... Or should I say 'Hyun-ah'. That's your pet-name for her right? Man, you can't live without this girl. At school you walk while holding hands to your classes, just like when you go on your dates together at Han River. You guys often go to convenience stores together as you two have a lot of memories in them. You both were sitting on the beach in Daegu right? Wow, you guys are so romantic. I'm a little sad I couldn't be like that with your mother..."
