ULTIMATE RIVALS {Taekook}

33 - Confessions

Jungkook POV

He will be here! I know he will be here. I arrived at the cemetery since six in the morning, waiting and hoping Tae will come here.

After almost three hours of waiting, I see him. He is carrying a bouquet of flowers. He is looking down at the tombstones, obviously looking for Uncle Seonjo's grave.

"Hyung!"

He looked at me confused and stopped for a good second and then walked towards me hurriedly. He dropped his flowers and embraced me tightly. "Jungkook, I never thought you will be here, but seeing you now made my heart so happy."

"Tae... I am here because I know you are stressed because of me."

Taehyung then looked at me, tears in his cheeks, then touched my face. "Whatever it is... It is ok Kookie. It is not your fault. I am the one who is at fault. I am the one who is selfish. I was the one who badly hurt you. I am sorry Jungkook..."

"Hyung, I just want to tell you that I did not do it... Jimin hyung and I did not do it... We did not leak what we saw in the parking lot. It wasn't us."

"Really?" He looks like he has so many thoughts in his mind. Then, Tae's eyes looked at the side and realized we are standing in Uncle Seonjo's.

He dropped to the grass and wailed. "Appa! Appa!"

Appa? Shouldn't it be Ahjussi? Tae shouted, "I am sorry Appa, sorry I wasn't here.. sorry for being a bad son!"

A bad son? What is he talking about?

I knelt down in Tae's side and embraced him, trying to keep him calm. He kept on crying, shouting, "I am sorry Appa, everything is my fault! everything is my fault!"

Taehyung cried for almost half an hour. I was just there in his side, embracing him and patting his back. Then, he stopped. "Kookie, since you are here... I want to tell you the truth."

Taehyung and I are sitting in the grass. What truth could he possibly tell me... Now, I am scared...

He held my hand and stared at me. "Your Uncle Seonjo is not my uncle... He is my father. He is my mother's first husband, the one whom the whole Korea called 'Kim Youngjae's closet husband'."

"Uncle Seonjo is your father?"

I must admit I was a bit disappointed in Taehyung. How could a son keep the identity of his father? Is he ashamed of his father?

He gave a weak smile. "He is my biggest secret... He died here in this town and because I was such a coward confronting the fact of his death. I didn't even bothered coming back for his funeral and burial. I kept my focus on training. I such a bad son! I am a bad son." He starts to cry again.

"Don't say that Tae, I know he understands what you feel."

"No Kookie, I am now living the karma of my reckless actions." Tae replied.

"What do you mean by that hyung?"
