Elites of Seoul | Taejin ✔️

Jimin

Taehyung's Pov:

"I didn't share my secret with you so that you can use it against me, you know." Jimin rolled his eyes at me upon entering the house.

"Sorry. I didn't know exactly how to get you over here so quickly." I confessed, smiling at him.

He frowns and looks around the house. "It's quiet, what have you and that husband of yours been up to? Is he giving you are a hard time because if he is-"

"Jimin, when are you going to listen to me. Jin never gives me a hard time. Unlike you, I married Jin because I love him." I reminded him for the umpteenth time. Of course, Jin gave me a hard time at times, but I would never tell Jimin that that was between Jin and me.

"If you say so, anyway, not all of us can marry for love. Now, why did you bully me over here? I am pregnant, soon going to burst if you haven't noticed. Is Jin here, or is he out? I am not in the mood to argue with anyone today; my energy these days are limited. Since Hoseok got pregnant, Yoongi has discarded me like a piece of trash. Jungkook is pretending to give a shit, and I am just so fed up. Remind me why I made you convince me to keep this child again?"

"Let's go sit in the art room and talk. Jin is sleeping; he is feeling exhausted today, so I doubt he will be coming to argue with you; he does not know you are here either. And you are the reason why the two of you can never get along." I guide Jimin towards the art room where I knew Jin would never visit, since moving in with me, he had only visited the art room once and thought it was too much. He didn't understand why I needed a room dedicated to art.

"What's going on, Tae? You seem sad; you sure things are good between you and Jin?" Jimin questions taking a seat by the open window that highlighted the beauty of the garden.

I took a seat next to him, "I need to talk to you, but I want your word that I can trust you. The same way I have kept your secrets and have continued to help you since high school, I want you to do the same for me now, I have a big problem, one I don't know how to solve."

Jimin looked at me, confused, his brows furrowed, "you are scaring me, Tae, did you kill someone, did you k-kill Jin?"

"What the fuck is wrong with you, why would I kill my husband?"

"I am sorry you are acting weird. Usually, I am the one asking for help, so sorry if I am a bit weird out by this, but yeah, you can trust me. Who do I have to tell anything to besides you anyway." Jimin looks out the window as he tries to mask the sadness in his eyes.

"Before I tell you anything though, I want you to be honest, are your feelings towards Jungkook still the same?" I needed confirmation of this because it could change a lot if his feelings for Jungkook had changed.

Jimin looked at me, chuckled, "What's to change between us? We still exist together, pretending our love is beautiful, but you already knew that. I am sure once the baby is born, he will want a divorce, my parents will shun me from the family, and I will probably be at your doorstep begging for money while your husband pours hot water in my face."

"My goodness, why are you so dramatic, Jin would never pour hot water in your face, maybe cold water, but not hot water, he has a soft side, you know." I tried making light of the situation as I noticed how emotional Jimin was getting. Everything he was saying was right, though.

"Maybe towards you, but not to me, we never got along, so I think hot water it will be."

"Why don't you like him?"

"I just never got it, you were here in Seoul, fearing commitment, constantly told us you have no plans to get married, but then you started traveling to Busan, and before we know it, you were engaged to someone none of us knew about. As if the engagement wasn't shocking enough, you got married so fast, not even allowing us time to get to know him. It was just weird, and when you moved here, he didn't seem like someone you would choose, I mean you are Kim Taehyung, and he is a what a teacher? Like that didn't make any sense to me. Even Hoseok made a better choice; he is at least up to our status. Jin, he is poor-"

I put my hand and stopped Jimin before he could continue anymore. "Our status has done nothing but destroyed our lives. Look at us; look at you. You are pregnant by your best friend's husband. You were forced to marry someone because it made business sense. You are unhappy. I didn't want that Jimin. I wanted a love that is real; I wanted someone who I know didn't fall for me because of who I was or what I can give them, that person turned out to be Jin. He could care less about my status.

That's why you and he never got along, you wanted him to show he cared and he didn't. He didn't bow to you and Hoseok, and he didn't beg for your attention either, which is what I love about him. Hoseok was never a better choice for me; he can never compare to my Jin. Similar to how Jungkook can never compare to Yoongi for you, that's what Jin means to me. He is my entire world, and I- am so fucking afraid right now because I am so close to losing him."

I couldn't help the tears from falling from my eyes, I was so close to losing my husband, and it was destroying me.

"Tae, what are you talking about? What's going on, seriously, what's going on, please talk to me?" Jimin became serious, taking my hands into his as his face fills with concern.

I broke and told Jimin everything about Jin being raped, about Iseul, and his attempt at suicide. I omitted the fact that Jungkook and his parents were involved, but I had my reasons.

Jimin had tears in his eyes when I was done. He hugged me and cried, "he must be hurting so much, oh my gosh, and I have been so horrible to him." Jimin broke down even more crying.

I knew this hit closed to home for him, as he had gotten rape in high school. I was the one who found him and took him to the doctor; I was also the same one who found him and took him to the hospital when he tried committing suicide. I was with him through all of his horrific life moments, until Yoongi came around, revived him, bringing back a smile to his face. Making him see the beauty in life once more, but of course, that didn't last for long.

"I want you to talk to him, let him know he is not alone, let him know his life isn't over because of what took place. I have never been through what you guys went through, so I don't know how to help with this. I keep trying, but I think I am failing and I don't want to get anyone else involved, I don't want him being afraid."
