HIRE × TaeNnie | Completed

X. Caught up

Tae arrived home a little bit tipsy and out of mood. When he suddenly came back to his pulses when he saw his mom on his pad.

"Eomma?!!!" He was shocked. Imagine its almost dawn and why is his mother in his pad.

He swallowed a lump of saliva as he stare blankly at his mom and tries to compose himself.

His mom threw a card unto him, "what is this?" She was angry but her mom being as modest and classy as ever maintained a good scenario between them that releases a less scary tension between them.

Seeing the card, he knew he fucked up. Tae just bowed his head as he waited for his mom's sermon.

"What were u thinking son? I've done everything for u to pass last year. That was very degrading to plea to uf professors but im doing this because ur my son and I want u to be successful. And now, we're on the same track again? Ur no in senior and having these grades, these poor perfomance will make a murderer. U cant be a doctor taehyung!!!"

"Sorry eomma."

He said humbly. He was no good at all. He cant even tell hi mom that he learned nothing from medical classes. He would surely become a terrible doctor, if ever.

"Open ur card." His mom said

"No need. I already saw that. Tae said as he went to his kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.

His mom followed from behind and leaned on the edge of the wall with her arms crossing.

"What?" Tae asked he shrugged his shoulders.

His mother got the card and handed it to him. He was so bothered why would his mom let him reread the card.

Tae shook the card but then opened it anyway.

"I told u, im already done seei---" taehyung's eyes bulged and made a confusing eye contact with his mom.

"Im so diappointed with u son." His mom calmly uttered. "I guess u paid bills for them? I saw u on the cctv. Also, Dr. sung kyung told me that u went to her for a contraceptive."

Tae's hands turned cold as ever. He dont know how he will respond to this...

"I..." he was making an excuse. "I love her." He said as he bowed his head down and bit his lip.

Tae's thought: what were u thinking man? Why of all the word, u said it?

"U cannot love a blue girl."

Those words were spoken softly but hit him hard right thru his heart. How did his mom knew? He cant look straight in the eyes of her mother.

His mother was saying a lot of things but his head, his ear wont process the datas. All he ever had in his closed thoughts is Jennie. Surely his mom is powerful and he feels bad if she does something to Jennie; to the point of humiliating her. He promised Jennie to not tell anyone of their secret. After all, she was not an all-time blue girl. He was her first customer; she does it for a cause; she is virgin; she is precious....for him.

----the night before---

Jennie went home sadly. As she got inside, she her mom speaking to well-dressed and decent woman.

"Annyeong!" Jennie greeted. She then recognized that the woman was Dr. kim; her mom's physician and of course she knew it was taehyung's mom.

Right--- taehyung's mom.

Initially, her stomach gone wild. She doesnt know what to feel--she had a lot of hunches in her head.

Jennie smiled fakingly and signed her mom what is the doctor doing in their house. The woman then stood and bade goodbye to them.

After she left, jennie asked.."is she here for ur consultation or did anything happen to u again?"

Her mother out of nowhere cried.

"Hey..."jennie immediately tapped her mother's back. "What's wrong?" Jennie could also help herself but cry even without knowing the reason. The least thing she wanted to see her on earth is her eomma's cry.

"Jennie, i know what happened to us burdens u." Her mother said as jennie nodded her head implying a no. "U dont have to lie," Her mother added. "Why did u sell ur body Jendeuk? Whyyyyyy!" Her mother then again bursted in tears.

Jennie knew her mother was disappointed with her--and with her words of selling her body also disappoints her too.

"Eomma, im sorry. But please believe me, taehyung---he was not what u think. He was kind. He...we...um, we havent done mature acts eomma."

"Stop defending that Maniac." Her mom said.

She never got so mad at any situation but she also dont understand herself why would shw prioritize cleaning Taehyung's name to his mother rather than symphatizing with her mom's feelings.

"Eomma...taehyung is a kind man. Please believe me. He didnt use me nor sexually abused me. Just because I signed up being a blue girl doesnt mean that I am dirty. I..i felt lucky that out of all the customers, it was him who chose me. Because if it weren't him...that's the day u can say that I am a disgrace."

Jennie was welcomed by her mothers slap.

She fainted at how heavy and strong that was.

"Ur dignity equates no money. Lose me, or lose him." Her mother uttered which left her blank and pained.
