15. What's Wrong with My Heart?

The Jeon family's son stretched out his hand, "Come on, I'll take you home."

"I don't want to go home."

"Then you will stay here? In this abandoned house? What if ..."

Jeongguk's words were interrupted when the youngest son of the Kim family pulled his sleeve. Taehyung looked at him with round teary eyes, reddened nose, and cute pouting lips. "Take me with you."

*****

Jeongguk isn't human. He's sure of it. He is the prince of the blackbird clan, the strongest of all the strong ones. There was nothing he was afraid of, nothing that made him weak.

But, this time, he daren't move, he daren't even breathe, he's frozen to the spot. His heart beats so strong that he thinks his chest will burst. And all of this caused by Taehyung's puppy eyes. 'What's happen to me?' he talks to himself.

"Jeongguk-ssi? Jeongguk-ah? Jeon Jeongguk? Hello..." Taehyung was standing in front of Jeongguk, waving his hands in front of the handsome man.

"Ah, sorry. I was daydreaming. All right. I'll take you home."

"No. I don't want to go home."

"Then? Where should I take you? To your fiance's house?"

"Don't. I don't want to go there either. Take me wherever you want, as long as you don't go to my house, go to Yoongi Hyung's house, or Jimin's house." Taehyung pulled Jeongguk's hand to the black car parked in front of the shop across the street.

"What exactly is your problem?" Jeongguk asked while driving. His eyes focused on the road but occasionally glanced at the man who made his heart beating uncontrollably.

"I ran away from home because of a fight with Dad. I'm angry because he doesn't want to grant my wish." Taehyung said while pouting his lips cutely.

Unknowingly, Jeongguk reached out his hand to stroke Taehyung's hair. "Why are you like a child. Angry just because his desires are not fulfilled."

"Tch, if you don't know, it's better to be quiet."

"Tell me what you want. Maybe I can give it to you."

"I want to cancel my marriage with Yoongi Hyung."

Jeongguk suddenly put the brakes on his car, making Taehyung stagger forward and hit his head against the car's dashboard. Fortunately, it was late so the streets were quiet. If the streets were crowded, they would have been hit by a car from behind.

"Aww ... You can't drive, aren't you?" said Taehyung while rubbing his forehead.

"Sorry."

"What's wrong with you?"

"You want to cancel your marriage with Yoongi? Aren't you going to get married soon?"

"That's it. I don't want to get married. Ah, no. I want to get married, but not by getting married young."

Taehyung suddenly turned his body to face Jeongguk.

"Jeongguk-ssi, how old are you?"

"twenty-three years old."

"Why aren't you married yet?"

"Huh? Has your head been hit so hard? Why are you suddenly acting strange like this?" Jeongguk rub Taehyung's forehead to check if there's bruising.

The beautiful man immediately pushed aside the muscular hand. "Just answer my question."

"Why am I not married yet?" Taehyung nodded.
