The Deepest Affection ✔️

Chapter 5

Love & Lost

1997

What is love? Those words had been bugging Lisa for many years now. If love is what she see everyday then why she sees her mother meeting with another man? If love is what she sees everyday then why does her parents argue all the time? If love is what she sees everyday then why her mother left them for another man? If being with the opposite sex is love then why her parents marriage didn't work out?

So, what is love?

Growing up, she hated her mother for leaving them. So she promised to herself she won't ever be like her but... genetics don't lie. It would not be long until you inherit the characteristics of your parents. It's only a matter of time until you turn into the person right in front of you and that's what happened to her. Lisa didn't live a good childhood nor a splendid youth to remember.

Until she met him. That night when she was about to go to Rosielette's house. The two best-friends promised to meet their boyfriends at the Club. Lalisa had gone a lot of relationships but neither one of those boys didn't even last for a month. She's probably the most beautiful girl in town yet no one still ever melt her stone cold heart.

But it was different with him. He didn't approach her like other boys normally do to her, he didn't pull any malicious act, he's kind, friendly and taken which kinda disappoints her at first but they've become so close like best of friends. She never even thought she could have a relationship like this with the opposite sex which makes him more important to her.

She won't also deny the fact that he's hot. Like really really damn hot. Come on, he can play the guitar, he can sing, he can even wear just a simple white tee and Lisa would bet her life he can still grace on any billboards or magazines.

Yeah, whatever. Who's denying anyway? She have a tiny bitsy crush on her guy best friend but nothing more will exceeds to that of course.

This time she will learn how to be loyal and only to him, he's an exception because she doesn't want to lose him. She doesn't want to lose a good friend.

So when she heard the news about her friend's Rosie and Bambam dating? It shocked her to the core, those two were close like siblings how can they risked their friendship for a relationship that don't even last? She thought it was very stupid that she ignore the two for weeks.

But what made Lisa more furious was the fact that her two friends dating gave her the idea of her and Taehyung dating, which was preposterous! She shouldn't let her thoughts get poisoned by those two.

However in the end it wasn't even Bambam nor Rosie's fault. It was her heart. It kept fluttering for the wrong man.

So when Taehyung says he wants to get married with Irene, it knocked the air out of her lungs for an unknown reasons and she hated it... she hated him.

He even have the audacity to throw her away with someone she doesn't have any feelings for.

And he will say to her that he loves her?! No, freaking way.

She might've slapped him really hard that day before she pulled him in for a kiss. Damn, that was so cheesy and romantic. It still give her cringes.

Lisa crunched her nose, grimacing at her wandering thoughts.

Taehyung chuckled, "what are you thinking, love?" He turned his body to the side to face the brunette. Lisa smiled at this and did the same to also face him.

Now they were face to face with a white warm blanket on the top of their bodies. She stared at his smiling face as she reach up to cupped his cheek.
"I'm just thinking why did I end up with someone as ugly as you." She smiled toothily, teasing the only man who happened to taught him everything about love and the word was not even that important as what she thought it would be, what matters is the meaning behind the word. The feeling, the emotion, and what could you do about it. It was basically up to you, because sometimes love is simple just like that, there's no extravagant magical thing like on fairytales but it was just pure emotion for a certain person and on what could you do about it, because you can express it in various ways.

Taehyung let out a loud laugh, not believing a single bit of what his girlfriend just said.
"Love, you're a bad liar." Lisa stared at him and mostly at his boxy child-like smile.

"Yeah? I'm also not thinking about how lucky I am to have you." She continued to teased him, caressing his cheek with her thumb. With the adored look on his face, Taehyung slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her in his comfort.

"You're such a sweet talker." He hummed against the skin of her shoulder, and that tickles her so she lift her head and laughed but her arms went to his nape, cuddling him as close as possible.

"I know." Lisa smiled, as she poke Taehyung's nose and hold him close, brushing a strand of dark brown hair away from his face.

He eagerly wraps his arms around her waist, as he pulled her body to be on top of him. Once again burying his face on her shoulder, Taehyung called her. "Love?"

"Hm?" She hummed, Lisa comfortably laid her head on his side, their breaths in unison, and the warm blood that they could feel in each others' embrace. It felt like an antidote, a little touch of heaven.

Taehyung pulled her out a little bit to cupped her face. He gave her a quick smooch on her lips before telling Lisa what he feels.
"Let's get married." His mouth twitched, and Lisa was pretty sure he was fighting a smile which earned him a few smacks from the latter.

"Yah! Are you kidding me?! Stop that. Why are you always in a hurry anyway." She was complaining but the smile on her face says the otherwise and Taehyung could no longer contain his laughters and let it all out by pulling her again on him as the sheets rustles with their movements. Although Lisa was doing the opposite by pulling him away, she is also laughing along with him.

"Because life is fleeting and..."
He dragged his words out from his mouth as he stop and just stared at her. Taehyung then pulled her against his chest. His nose tickled her ear.
"... I want you all for myself." She felt his lips softly graze her slender neck.

Lisa summoned enough courage to meet his gaze as she put a hand to caressed his cheek.
"I am yours." His hazel eyes twinkled. He knows! He's trying to make her feel like this.

Then something changes on his smile, a quite devious one appears.
"Besides our baby is on the way with what we did last night." He let out a proud smirk and Lisa's eyes widen. As fast as she could she push him away from her.

"You perv!" She yelled and Taehyung laughed out loud for successfully teasing his girl again.

When there is love, there is also envy and hate and that's the most dangerous emotions of all.

You couldn't think straight, it was just pure jealousy and hatred that controls everything until it devours the whole you. It was dark and scary.

It happened so fast, gas accelerating into the highest speed, it was too late when Jungkook woke up from what he's trying to do, he quickly maneuvers the wheel to dodge the white wedding car but he hit it anyway and a truck crashed through it.

Everything went hazy and blurry. What had he done?
