Only His Love | book one

Chapter 8: Grace

Grace's POV

"Uh, sure. C-come in."

The woman that was with him looked familiar,  I think I've seen her before.

"Please take a seat. I'll make some tea." I say nervously.

"That'd be wonderful, thank you." Taehyung said.

I head to the kitchen and set up the kettle, making chamomile tea. In the living room, I hear distant whispers and I listen carefully.

"Taehyung, this is important. Please stop touching me right now." The woman says softly.

"But I love you so much. Please?" Taehyung whispers.

I step out of the kitchen and bring the tea along with me. Taehyung has his arm wrapped around the young woman. They're in a relationship. No doubt. I place the platter down and sit across from them in a white, wooden chair.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm Grace, Taehyung's younger sister, the baby in the family." I said happily.

"Hi Grace, I'm Y/N. I'm related to Namjoon." She explained.

"Now it makes sense. Nice to meet you. You looked familiar when I first saw you. Namjoon talks about you often. Don't worry! Good things." I chuckle. She laughs a little.

"He does? I don't know why, but he never said anything about you. You are such a beautiful woman." Y/N said sweetly.

"Where do you think she gets it from?" Tae brags as he rakes his hair back.

"I get it from Jimin." I smile.

"Jimin? Who's Jimin?" Y/N asks.

"Jimin is our brother. The eldest one of the family." I answer grinning because of Taehyung's upset face.

"Why don't you ever explain anything to me?" Y/N laughs.

I giggle quietly. "Its because he wants to take all the credit."

"No I don't!" He shouts. "Alright that's it! T-time to change the subject." He shouts in embarrassment.

"Okay, so I'm related to Namjoon. I was asked recently to meet up with him to go over my 'planned marriage' that will be held in a few months. I thought about bringing Taehyung, which probably wasn't the best idea." Y/N rubs the back of her neck. "It was until then I found out that you and my brother were dating-"

"And he abuses you!"
Taehyung spits out.

"Taehyung! Stop!" Y/N puts her hand over his mouth.

I wonder if Taehyung assumes Namjoon to be such a bad person. He really isn't. If only he could understand that.

"Taehyung." I look at him sincerely. "He tells me he loves me. He treats me well-"

"Grace! Don't you realize his problems!?"

Y/N's eyes move to my legs. She looks concerned and puts her hand over her mouth.

"Grace.......when did you get these marks?" Y/N comes over and takes hold of my hands. She looks so worried. So sweet and caring.

"I.....I.......N-Namjoon hits me. But! But he says he can't control it! He has times when he's happy and always gets me gifts, hugs me, kisses me, takes me on dates, tells me he loves me, and treats me like a gentleman would, but.....whenever he gets angry, he's more violent, but does intimate actions with me. He's forceful with my body when we have sex, and he hits me often during intercourse. I don't know why he does it to me. But I still love him!" Tears escape from my eyes.

Taehyung looks at me scared and angry, gritting his teeth.

"Grace!? Why don't you do something-"

"Taehyung. Stop." Y/N walks over and pats his head.

He starts growling in rage.

She walks back to me. "Wanna talk somewhere else?" She smiles.

"Y-yeah." I whisper.

I look for a place we can talk alone and you can hear Taehyung muttering under his breath. I head to my bedroom and we both sit on the bed.

"Grace, you are very beautiful. The way you explained this shows you are grateful that he's with you, but you know that you shouldn't be treated like this. It seems to me that Namjoon has a problem." She looks at me concerned. "Let me ask you something. How do you feel about the way he treats you when it comes to forceful sex, along with the abuse?"

I was quiet for a few seconds.

"I....I....it's....euphoric."

I heard her breath hitch.

"Euphoric?" She asks surprised. "Grace. You like it when he hits you?"

"Y-yes, but, I mean, it's not often, yet when he does hit me, it doesn't hurt a lot. It feels good. Especially when he leaves hickeys-"

"Okay, Grace I understand." She starts to turn red.

We exit the room, and Tae beams at us.

"Ugh, girls are confusing. I want to leave! Are you both done now?" He questions.

I look at Y/N and nod my head. She looked at me and went in for a hug.

This must be the reason why Taehyung loves her so much. She's caring, honest, and so genuine.

"Okay Y/N, let's go." He pulls her hand as they walk out of the house. Before she closed the door, she waved to me.

I need a friend like her.
