Crazy in Love || TaeKook

Chapter 15

~*Third Person POV*~

While Dawon was at Jieun's house, Yoongi felt it necessary to visit Jimin whom they all haven't seen in days. He goes to Jimin's place which he shared with his friends Jongin and Taemin, they welcomed Yoongi but warned him, "You're here to see Jimin...he's seen better days but I guess Eunjung getting kidnapped got him like that."

"It's okay. I'll talk to him, I may not be a psychiatrist like him but I can read Jimin better than anybody could." Yoongi smiled a little before going to Jimin's room. He opened the door and there was Jimin with his knees against his chest and his head in his knees. "Jimin..."

Jimin looked up at Yoongi with tears pouring down his face, "I failed...Yoongi, I promised myself, Jieun and Jungkook that I would protect her..."

"So this is about Eunjung." Yoongi sighed as he sat next to Jimin and pulled him into a hug, "I can admit that I was in your position once...I failed many times in my life. I failed Hoseok...I even tried to take my own life because I felt like I didn't deserve to live..." Yoongi had never confessed to that and Jimin knew that because that was the first time he had heard about it. "I failed Dawon because I couldn't protect her brother. Heck, I even failed Taehyung because I had cut ties with Hoseok hence I couldn't save Taehyung and Hoseok." Yoongi faced Jimin and looked at him tenderly, "However, my biggest failure was losing you. I never should have cheated on you with Jieun...it has torn me up inside since the day I saw Jungkook drive away from his own house in tears after witnessing the woman he loved with his whole heart cheat on a trusted friend. Eunjung couldn't grow up with a normal family. But you...you stood in as her father and loved her as if she were her own."

"I did...and now I bet she's with her real father and I guarantee that he has already killed her. He almost killed her as a baby, there's no question he would try to kill her again....and it's my fault. It hurt even more that I couldn't protect her and that Dawon and that clown protected her instead. He stole everything from me. He took Jungkook away from us and now he stole my pride."

Yoongi sighed and said to Jimin, "Jimin, you need rest. Come here. Come sleep in my arms once more." Yoongi and Jimin were now embracing each other and the younger of the two quickly fell asleep. Eunjung...please come back to us safely.

"So, what made you change your mind?" The Colonel had asked CL as they were watching Eunjung running around with her father and Poison Ivy.

"I had a son...he was a toddler and he was killed along with my parents. I guess I see parallels between my son and Eunjung. I would want him next to my side...with Eunjung...I think the closer she becomes to her father, the closer we are to discovering what she is capable of. If she has that fire that Harley, no, Jungkook has...I have no doubt she will be a powerful asset." CL looked at the Colonel and then she turned and walked away.

Eunjung was running from Ivy's vines and when she got to the wall she turned around and held up the stick she had found pretending it was her version of her father's baseball bat. "You can't beat me." That's when Ivy's vines wrapped themselves gently around Eunjung and brought her to her father. They both smiled and laughed together which was something Eunjung longed for ever since she was able to walk and talk. "I love you, papa."

Those words surprised Jungkook and his eyes became twice the size, figuratively, then he smiled and held her close, "I love you too, Eunnie." You used to be someone I wanted to dispose of...now I want nothing but to protect you.

Eunjung turned her head to Ivy and said, "I love you, Auntie Ivy."

"Oh my gosh. You are just the cutest little thing, you and your father make me feel human." It was true, Ivy hadn't felt human since she became one with her plants. "Eunjung, when you get older, I want you to protect your father. Protect each other."

Little Eunjung had saluted Ivy which made Jungkook chuckled and kiss her on the cheek. "Alright, baby girl. Time for you to go to bed...papa will tell you a story. I'll tell you how your mother and I met." This was a memory that Jungkook tried his hardest to bury but it was right there along with the first time he formally met Joker. He knew that someday he would have to choose and he's worried that whoever he chose it would be the wrong choice.

-*Flashback, Jungkook's POV*-

It was the first day of my second year of high school and already I was late to class. My first class of the day was my favorite: choir class. I was running in the halls even though it wasn't allowed but we didn't have a hall monitor yet so I was off the hook. I made to the outside of the door and it was one of those rubber doors and thorugh them I heard the voice of an angel.

I was drawn that I walked in without even noticing and she kept singing but she kept looking at me and smiling. She was the girl of my dreams. After she finished, I took my seat next to my best friend, Jimin. He whispered in my ear, "You couldn't be more obvious. She's a new student, you better get her before she's taken...I feel like she's going to go fast." I was almost ignoring him as I was admiring the new girl from afar.

It was about three weeks later and I was in the choir room practicing singing:

" Hoping love will be perfected with only love
Hoping that all my weaknesses will be hidden
In this dream that won't ever come true
I grew a flower that couldn't be blossomed "

When I opened my eyes there stood the girl, I still didn't know what her name was. She spoke for the first time, "Hello...I really love your singing. What's your name?" She asked as she sat next to me at the piano and I was red as a tomato.

"M-My n-name...I-I'm J-Jeon J-Jungkook. W-What a-about y-you?" I could not stop stuttering I was so nervous.

"It's nice to meet you, Jungkook. My name is Lee Jieun." She looked at him with her big doll-like eyes and her shy smile. "You want to do a duet together? I heard that's our project in choir class."

"Sure. I would love to get to know you better." I told her as I gave her my toothy smile.

-*Present, Third Person POV*-

"I didn't know you and mama could sing. Does that mean that I will be able to sing when I'm older?" Eunjung's eyelids were heavy but she still stayed awake, "Can you sing me a song, papa?"

Jungkook was nervous because he hadn't sung in a long time, the last time was possibly him singing to Eunjung while Jieun was carrying her. He took a deep breath:

" I hear the ocean from far away
Across the dream, past the woods
I'm going to the place that's getting clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria "

Slowly while he was singing, Eunjung was falling asleep while holding her father's hand. "Close the door now. When I'm with you I'm in utopia." He kissed Eunjung on the forehead and tucked her in.

-*Inisde Jungkook's mind*-

"Be careful, Jungkook. If you grow too attached to the little brat, you know Mr. J won't be happy with you." Jungkook was having a conversation with Harley Quinn inside his mind that they both inhabited.

"She's my daughter, and when I set you free, you better not harm her. I know when you were stronger you were willing to kill her as a baby. I won't let you hurt her. I am only going to let you go because I know Ivy is getting lonely and wants to see you. The fact that more than one person actually loves you is sickening." The two held hands and almost became one person.

-*Reality*-

He opened his eyes and as he looked at his hands, he laughed and smiled, "Finally. That boy should be grateful that I even let him bond with his child." Harley turned around and saw Ivy, "Come here, Red. I was told that you were missing me."

"If I am to be your friend-with-benefit Harley...I will not tolerate you hurting this defenseless child." Ivy's protectiveness intrigued Harley but he decided to comply due to Ivy's delicate nature. What is so interesting about this child? Harley looked over the child while she was sleeping and then he felt Ivy's arm around his waist and her hand tracing his jawline. "Now, give me what I'm waiting for."
