You make me Strong |VMin|

Devil in Me

Warning : Mentions of death and suicides.

Weeks passed by, the couple was slowly coming back to their routine life. Tae is still skeptical of leaving Jimin alone he always made sure at that least one of their friends accompany Jimin when he couldn't make it. He resumed his commission work. It's keeps him really busy but he always makes time for his Jimin. Jimin is preparing for his first showcase, it's a group performance, he even has a solo segment in it. Taemin is also preparing him for an audition to one of the famous dance academies in Seoul. If Jimin makes it to the academy, he would be performing with world class talents. Both Tae and Jimin are super excited for this.

Everything was slowly going back to normal but one day cops informed them that both of Jimin's accusers were dead so the case is closed. Both of them killed themselves by drinking poison. A dairy recovered from their apartment revealed, how they assaulted a lot of people in various places throughout South Korea. They used to blackmail victims with the video they shot during crime. None of the victims ever reported it to cops due to fear of video being leaked online. The cops say that they were close to nabbing the criminals and the fear of getting caught may have forced them to take this step. Jimin locked himself for two days because of depression.

Namjoon was not satisfied with the investigation and the developments. There was no proof of Jade's involvement in the case. He was questioned along with his wife, both of them denied every allegations. No one else reported any couples fighting on the street. This possibility was ruled out by the cop. Namjoon kept on reminding Tae to take special care of Jimin. As far as Jimin was concerned, there were so many questions left unanswered. Even though the case was closed, he couldn't find a closure, he has a strong feelings that there's more to it than it appears from outside.  Tae assured him that everything will be fine. It did as months passed by, those memories felt like a nightmare that he once saw.

"Father."
"Taehyung, when are you coming back."
"I quit the job, father."
"You are not just a normal employee Taehyung."
"I won't be back, I don't want to take over the business."
"It was never a choice."
"You can't force me." His father ended the call. Taehyung stared the ceiling. It has been 8 months of complete silence and now his father remembers him. He is determined not to go back to that hell. He is happy and peaceful here. He wants to spend rest of his life with Jimin. He would do anything for that. His phone rang again, it's a text message from his father, reminding him of his arrangements with Park Enterprises. He throws his phone on the bed before punching the wall in frustration.
"No, I won't let you dictate my life anymore. I am not your slave." He shouted as he kept on punching the wall.

"Taetae! Come breakfast is ready." Jimin shouted from the kitchen. Tae controlled his breathing and anger before making way to kitchen.
"Hey baby." He pecked Jimin's lips.
"Taetae, you look really good in black shirt." He said resting his head on table and smiling fondly at Tae.
"Seriously baby, you keep spoiling me with compliments.." he pinched Jimin's cheeks who giggled.
They ate breakfast laughing and giggling, Jimin shared how Namjoon slipped on his shoelaces and caused the books to fall and how Jin made his arrange the book scolding in front of the customers. Tae happily listened to Jimin's ranting about high shelf and racks that he couldn't reach.. He forgot about his problems, it's just him and Jimin. 'Mine' he thought as he hugged Jimin and kissed him.

"Tonight I am planning to make your favourite meat dumplings Taetae." Jimin said.
"Oh really we could cook together Minnie." Tae said concentrating on road. The traffic is really slow.
"Ahh I am so excited Taetae, we will make it in different shapes and sizes." Jimin squeaked like a baby.
"You know which one is my favourite?"
"Which one?" Jimin asked curiously. Tae slid his hands under Jimin's ass squeezed it harshly making Jimin yelp.
"This .... My all time favourite. The best dumplings in the world." Tae smirked as Jimin flushed.
"Pabo." Jimin muttered before putting on the music and bobbing his head to beat.
Tae's phone vibrated in his pocket. He checked it, again a text message from his father. He looked over Jimin who was still enjoying music with closed eyes. He opened the text.
'Engagement date fixed 21st of next month.' Tae's blood boiled as he read the text. He controlled himself as he was still driving and Jimin would be worried. He exhaled concentrating on driving. His inner turmoil keeps him distracted. He pecks Jimin's lips as he gets out of the car.
"Bye bye Taetae, see you in the evening." Jimin gave him a eye smile.
"K Bye Minnie." He drove off distracted leaving a confused Jimin.
'What happened to him suddenly, he didn't even say I love you. Is he angry? Why would he be angry? Maybe he is sick. I told pabo not to dance in rain. He never listens to me.'  Jimin was pouting.
"Did you loose something?" Jin asked inspecting the road.
"No hyung."
"Then why are you pouting at the road."
"Nothing, I was trying to remember something."
"About what?" Jin asked.
"I don't remember hyung." Jimin shrugged.
"Anyways where is your lover boy?"
"Taetae just left now, hyung "
"Seriously, he left without accompanying you to the store and making out in the bathroom." Jin couldn't believe.
"Hyung." Jimin elbowed Jin.
"Never have I ever thought that I would get to spend a day without witnessing you both trying to eat eachother's mouth."
"Shut up hyung." Jimin whinned in embarrassment.
"Ok ok stop pouting..... Your lover boy might be planning something for you." Jin walked away winking. Jimin pouted again checking his phone and followed Jin. No text or calls from Tae. He pouted more.
"Stop, you look like a duck." Jin shouted.
"But they are cute hyung." Jimin replied.
"I know just stop being sad, your lover boy will call you soon."
Jimin sighed before arranging the newly arrived magazine. Tae didn't call him even during his lunch. His pout intensified. He kept glaring at his phone.
"Why don't you call him instead?" Jin said stuffing his mouth kimchi rice.
"I did so many times... he won't answer."
"Aish that boy .... Must be he is emerged in his art. Don't worry Jiminie he will call you as soon as he comes back to sense." Jin assured him.
Jimin's phone rang. Jimin's face lit up thinking it was Tae's call but his eyes dimmed. "It's Taemin's." He pouted.
"Hello Taemin"
"Hello Jiminah.... I have a good news."
"What is it?"
"The academy reviewed your video and they have selected you for the audition. It on 19th next month. We have more than a month to practice Jiminah." Taemin exclaimed happily.
"Oh my god.... I can't believe this thanks Taemin. I couldn't have done this without you."
"No Jiminah, thanks won't work I need a proper treat. This is a big news .... I deserve a treat." Taemin demanded.
"Of course I would treat you."
"Okay.... Inform Taehyung and hyungs. We will discuss about the dance theme on Saturday."
"I will and thanks again."
"Bye."
"Bye."
