Twenty Five - Taken

A Week Later

I leave the apartment and walk to a grocery store. It's still early, so Tae is still sleeping. I didn't want to wake him because we barely got any sleep the night before and i wanted him to rest. Plus, when i went to cook us breakfast, i noticed we didn't have anything. Now I'm here and looking for things Tae might like. I already have the normal things he gets, but i want something new.

Someone coughs behind me and i jump. I turn, wide eyed, and stare at the woman. She holds a child as she looks through the freezers. Then she lets the sick child down and it instantly runs to me, grabbing my hand before i can stop it and smiling up at me. Everything after that goes in slow motion. The mother gets her kid, apologizes, then walks off. I quickly walk to the bathroom and wash my hands, but it feels like it takes too long. Everything the doctor said runs through my head.

"Mr. Park. You have a rare blood cancer called Neutropenia. It might not give you symptoms of it, but if it does, then this is what they are; fever, soar throat, or susceptibility to infection." The doctor says.

How do i know if i have the smallest cut and she could've just signed my death papers?

Panic fills my chest and i scrub harder. Then i take a deep breath adn calm myself down. Why do i have to overreact over a small cold? If i do this in front of Taehyung he will send me to a crazy house and never look back. He would be calm in this situation. So i have to be calm too.

I sigh and walk out of the bathroom. Then i quickly finish my shopping, making sure to grab a bottle of cough syrup before i pay and walk to the apartment.

When i get home, Taehyung is pacing in the kitchen, a glass of red wine in his hand. When he hears the door close he looks up and his eyes widen, then he runs to me and wraps his arms around me. I frown as i pat his back and hug him.

"What's wrong with you?" i ask.

"Jackson's gone crazy, he-he robbed a bank. I-I didn't know what to do." Taehyung says. i frown as i pull away. "What do you mean you didn't know what to do?" I ask. Taehyung falls apart and falls to the floor.

"I let him put the money under our bed. I-I panicked. H-He left to go get Jae. H-I-I-He held a gun to my head, Jimin!" Taehyung cries. I crouch down as i hug him.

"He-Ok. It's ok. I have a plan. Come on." I say. I pull him to stand and I bring him to the back room. I hear a knock on the door and fell Tae tense. A whole new wave of cries come out and I open the window, pushing him to the stairs. A more urgent knock sounds.

"Jimin?" Taehyung questions. I smile as i push him towards the stairs to go down.

"Trust me. Get somewhere safe. Text me the address and after i talk to Jackson I'll go to you." I say. Taehyung shakes his head and is about to speak but i shut the window, locking it afterwards. He stares at me wide eyed and bangs on the window, i shake my head and close the blinds. Then i turn and run to the door, opening it and looking at Jackson adn Jae. He smiles adn i force a smile back. Jae has the same one on his face.

"What's up, Jackson? I didn't know you were coming." I say. He frowns.

"I told Taehyung that we were." He says. i nod.

"That's probably why he was running around cleaning. He just left to get some food. Would you like to come in?" I ask. Jackson nods and a tears slides down Jae's cheek. He instantly wipes it before following Jackson in. They walk towards the couch and sit. I frown.

"No hug Jackson? Thought we were closer." i joke. He nervously laughs before standing. I smile as he wraps his arms around me. I wrap my arms around him and feel the gun tucked into his waist band. Before i can grab it, Jackson has already shoved me away and has the gun aimed at me. I gape, half the confidence i had completely gone.

"Cut the shit, Jimin. Where's Taehyung? Did he take the money?" He snaps. I glare at him as i shake my head in disappointment.

"Why did you come here? Why bring us into this?" I ask. Jackson glares as he jerks his gun at me.

"You took him from me." Jackson grits through his teeth. I frown.

"Took who? Taehyung? Oh no. You had him. Even after-" Jackson interrupts.

"No he didn't Jimin! He only had eyes for you! The month you were out, i tried many times to get with him. I even kissed him! He pushed me off and pretended it didn't happen!" He yells. i flinch and glare, anger burns my lungs and i clench my fists.

"You kissed him while i was in a fucking comma? Even after you went to my fucking wedding? You thought you would get Taehyung to fuck you behind my damn back?" I yell. Jackson laughs.

"Oh yea. I was so close to fucking him in the hospital, but you started coughing. He was so into it with me. I almost had him. He says. Betrayal and hurt, right along with anger cloud my thoughts. I take a risky step closer and he aims the gun right at my chest.

"You . . . you made out with him right next to me? How low could you possible get? you're that blinded by love that you could've had if you confessed? He didn't actually like me! He even rejected me after we became engaged!" I yell, Jackson laughs.

"I went lower, Jimin. I tried to kill you, completely wipe you out of the picture." He says. i gape at him, then my eyes glance t the movement behind him. Ja holds a vase in his hands. I quickly look back at Jackson. He glares at me, then opens his mouth to say something. But the shattering of the vase and an explosion like noise can be hear.

I get shoved to the ground, crying out at the pain the shoots through my stomach. I try to take in a breath as al the wind gets knocked out of me. Something on me vibrates and i remember my phone. I quickly pull it out and click the message from Taehyung. it says he's at the small store at the end of the road. I smile and start typing the last thing I'll ever tell him.
