Dirty Duty || TAEJIN ☑️

Trust

I arrived at the basement and immediately pick up my gears for my training today. I wear my game face with me. Seriously glaring at Namjoon for sarcastically smiling at me. I honestly do not know his problem but I am guessing that he thinks I like his boss. Or is it the other way around?

Whatever it is, I don't care. I will get back at him soon.

Taehyung walked towards me and grabbed me by the waist, surprising me. He leaned his mouth on my ears.

"No flirting Jin." Taehyung whispered at me. It's only a whisper but I can feel the authority.

I touched his lips with my index finger before winking at him. He just smirked.

I went inside the glass room. Jihoon is not smiling as well. The exact opposite of the smiling and flirty Jihoon yesterday.

He helped me taping my hands and wrist. No more gloves for today as Taehyung wanted an intense training.

"I'm sorry about that cut on your lip Jihoon." I said. No smile. Taehyung might misinterpret if Jihoon and I smiled at each other.

"It's okay. And I'm sorry about that on your lip too."

We're not looking at each other. We are trying to be as formal as possible.

"Can you do three punches then an elbow?" Jihoon asked.

I do what he asked me to do. It feels good without the gloves. I can feel the intensity with every punch.

"Come on Jin, 5 more sets." Jihoon said.

I think I already did 10 and my knuckles already burning. 5 more i think i will end up with it bleeding. The swishing sounds gave me thrills. It made me punch even more harder. I like it. My sweat trickling endlessly. I love how I release all my frustrations here.

"Fuckkk!!" I screamed as soon as I finished the sets. I slumped down on the cushioned floor breathing heavily. Jihoon tossed a towel and a water bottle.

"That's great Jin! You got it so easy. I think your trainer before already gave you a run through with this. Because you're good." Jihoon said as he offered his hand for me to stand. I reached for it and pulled myself up.

"Next?" I asked. My knuckles painful but I want more.

"No more Jin. Tomorrow we will do cardio and sprinting to build your endurance. It's supposed to be today but boss said he wants to see your punches." He said while removing the tapes on my hand.

"Maybe he wants to assess how hard my punches will land on his face." I said without smiling.

I know Jihoon wants to laugh. It's funny how we are both terrified of Taehyung hurting us again because of flirting.

"Your knuckles are bleeding Jin." He said. I am expecting that.

"It's okay. Pain is not new to me." I said as I grabbed my towel and went out of the glass room.

I removed my shin protection and place it on the table. "You're bleeding." Taehyung said as he looked at my knuckles.

"It's okay. I already have a high tolerance on pain." I said, remembering the beatings of my father and the lashes inflicted by my ex boyfriend. I walk towards the door and I heard Jimin running behind me.

"Boss was so amazed by your training today." Jimin said as we walk to the kitchen.

"I bet." I said. I really gave my all today. And the truth, my knuckles sting like hell.

I opened the freezer and get the ice cube tray. I put the ice in a bowl. I washed my wounds first before rubbing them with ice cube.

"Jin.. do you have a budding relationship with boss?" Jimin asked.

I chuckled. "What are you talking about? I was born a flirt and I think your boss was too. That's it."

"I can see how he held your waist earlier. And how you reacted to it."

"Jimin, I think you're just misinterpreting our actions. That's nothing to me. Besides, your boss has no feelings. I mean.. for a relationship." Because I remember how much he loves his mom.

Jimin just shrugged.

"My father killed his mother. You know about it Jim?" I asked.

Jimin nods. "Everyone here all know about that Jin. Did he tell you why?"

"He wants me to retrieve his mother's stone. And I wanted to help him. I can't fathom the fact that my father is a killer and a smuggler." I said, remembering what Taehyung divulge earlier.

Jimin smiled. "That's the reason why he kept you."

"And that's also the reason why he's acting like he likes me. He can't get me through flirting Jimin. I had too much of that. I need the real one. Not just the love he's showing only because he needs something from me. I know his intentions Jimin."

"Why are you judging his intentions right away? What if he really likes you?"

I laughed. "Our families are enemies Jimin. How can that be possible? If ever he pursue his feelings for me, that would only be for revenge. Nothing else."

I grabbed the bowl of ice and walk towards my bedroom. After more than a month of staying in Taehyung's home, I think I'm already comfortable walking in here.

I was surprised that he's standing inside my room.

"May I know why you're here?" I asked making him turned around.

He stared at my hands. "How was it?"

"It's okay. I told you, I'm already used to pain. This is nothing compared to the lashes on my back." I turned my back as I placed the bowl on the table.

I felt his hand snakes on my waist. His breathing on my nape. "You want to get back to your ex who gave that to you kitten?"

I moved my shoulders. His breathing gave tingling sensation in my body. I closed my eyes as I can feel his warm lips pressing against my nape. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"You need to practice what you've learned. I saw how good you are in punching and defense. Can you knock your ex boyfriend down kitten?"

"I love to."

"I will let you out of my mansion tomorrow. I trust that you will come back."

I smiled. I love how this man behind me starts to gave me his trust.
