Dirty Duty || TAEJIN ☑️

Truth

"Your father killed my mother for that damn stone!" Taehyung growled. I can feel his voice vibrates from my insides. I can even see a tear formed in his eyes.

"M-my father is not a killer Taehyung." I said, my voice stattered. Still trying to believe what I know of my father.

He chuckled. "You still believe that your father is a good man Jin?"

"How did you know that it's really my fath.."

"How did I know that your father killed my mom? Because your old murderer father killed my mom in front of me!" His body shaking in anger. The tear that formed earlier finally escapes from his eyes.

"My childhood was tainted by your asshole dad! I was 10 when your greedy ass father blew my mother's head. Raping her in front me and seeing her died in front of me made me think that killing people is just easy. Your father made my mother's life senseless. Killing her for his greed? My mother is all I have Jin and your father took her from me! You don't know the trauma that your father caused me! How your father destroyed and ruined my childhood!" He gestured to slap me. I closed my eyes but nothing came. I heard a gunshot. Glass shattering. I jerked. I grabbed on to the hand rest of the chair.

When I opened my eyes, I am face to face with Taehyung's gun. I swallowed, waiting for my death. I look at Taehyung's eyes. His cheeks drenched in tears.

"T-tae.. I-i'm s-sorry.. I didn't know." It's like words came out easily. This time, I trust him more. Much more than my father.

He lowered his gun and put it on the table. He sunk himself on his chair. I saw how he lowered his head. Perhaps, remembering how my father murdered her mother.

"Taehyung, I'm sorry." I said again, trying to get his attention. His head still bowed.

"Your father is an illegal importer of electronics Jin. That one I intercepted was his biggest smuggled goods that entered the shores."

My father is a smuggler?

"How did you know about this? It seems that you know my father better than me."

"Jin, in our world where crime is just a norm, we know everything about our enemy. I have my men spying on your father's illegal businesses. My group works like a mafia. I have my men doing all the works for me. I build my own group just to get back to your father. For stealing my mother's sapphire but most importantly, for stealing my mom from me. We are no different. Your father is feeding you from his illegal business. Your father is just as criminal as I am. He's vying for power and I'm ready to take him down."

I was beyond shocked of what I just heard. All my life, my father told us that a certain Kim Taehyung is a criminal trying to take his business down. He told us that Taehyung is a business rival of our family. I believed that. I never knew that my father also belongs into an illegal business. I never knew that he's also talking about himself.

I lost my mother when I was 6. Growing without my mother somehow made my heart soften for this tough guy in front of me. I know how it feels to lose a mom at a young age.

The cold and arrogant Kim Taehyung just cried in front of me. And I realized that we have something in common. Our mother were both dead and our lives revolved around them.

"Do you have any idea if my brother knows about this?" I asked. With all the information that Taehyung gave me today, it seems that I don't know my own family at all.

"I think I should be the one to ask you that." His smile is meaningful and by the way that Taehyung smiled, it seemed that my brother knew how my father works.

I went silent. Trying to absorb everything that I just learned today.

"I used to think that my father is a good man. Working his ass just to meet our needs and wants."

"Growing up, he never treated me well. His attention belongs to Jungkook. Treating me like a different person. Never as a son. I never knew a father's love ever since my mother died. He's just present to give me material things, a good education and feeding me with good food. No love or affection. I wanted more. I also want the attention. That caused me to become a rebel and to disobey him."

"He will beat me when I refused to do what he wants. He wants us to learn how to hold a gun and to do martial arts. But he never told me why. So I took all of it for granted. Thinking all of it are useless. Because all I know is that my father and my family are clean and we don't need to be scared because we don't have enemies. I never knew that the world is angry on our family because of my father's illegal activities."

"He even asked me to be in a relationship with a guy that i will marry after i finished school just so I can take the course I want in college. That guy who belongs to a rich family. Probably to widen his influence. But that guy abused me. Giving me lashes then will sexually assault me. And I just let him abused me because I love him. I am an idiot in love."

"I never really have a good life. I was a puppet. Disobeying my father when I don't like his rules and yet, I still obey him just to get what I want."

"I always disobey him but I still think of him as a good man. I still defend him to people who thinks he is a twisted person. I think I believed in him too much. It hurts that he abandoned me and gave me as a gift. Treating me like a toy that he can easily give to anyone. He never really cares about my feelings but I still defend him against you."

"Taehyung, I'm sorry for what my father did to your mom. My mother was killed too and we still don't have the answer on who killed her. I know how you feel and I'm sorry that you need to feel that."

"I'm willing to help you get your mother's stone from my father. If that's what you want."
