The Devil Wears Gucci {Taehyung X Reader FF}

☆Chapter 17☆

(A/n: Sorry for the long disappearance, I'm back now tho! Expect new chapters soon ;3! I love Dynamite! It's such a cute song, what did you guys think of it?)

"Taehyung?" You put your hand on his shoulder.

"How am I supposed to get a million dollars in a month?" He asked as more tears ran down his face.

"Can't you ask for more time?"

"That's what I just tried doing." He said as he rested his head on his hands. You rubbed his shoulder but felt him tense up and immediately removed your hand- this probably wasn't the best moment to do such a thing, considering what happened last night.

"What will happen if you don't give him the money?" You asked.

"He will reveal my deepest secret..." He said, looking up towards you, his eyes seemed fearful.

"I see, it's a case of blackmail." You said, he nodded. "Is your secret...that bad?" You asked.

He nodded, "I could end up in Jail."

"Oh..."

It went quiet for a moment, but then he spoke up again. "Y/n, I-I trust you."

"Tae-"

"Kim Seokjin is my older brother- half brother. We share the same dad." He interrupted.

"A few years back, when my mom passed away, my dad abused my younger sister, I couldn't handle it anymore. I attacked him." He paused, and looked at you for a second, "I almost killed him, but Seokjin stepped in and stopped me. He talked to my dad then gave him money to stay silent. He then told me to repay him twice the amount when I got a job, and he'd remain silent as well."

He rested his head on his hands, "I thought he cared about me...I guess he just wanted money. I gave him what he asked for long ago, but he keeps on threatening me for more."

"Taehyung, I'll help you." You said sympathetically.

"What, How?" Taehyung asked, a hint of hope showed in his eyes but he tried to hide it.

"I'll give you my savings."

"What?!" He asked, surprised, "Y/n, I can't accept that!"

Even you were surprised by your own offer, "Taehyung, if your life depends on it, you can have it."

"What...what were you saving up for?" He asked out of curiosity.

"My own studio." You replied.

"I can't take that kind of money away from you." He said firmly, "I'll find another way."

"You don't have enough time, I have half the amount you need. Work on getting the other half."

"No." He said, "I will do this on my own. I don't want to owe anyone anymore money."

"I'll give you as much time as you need to pay me back." You said, "Just accept it."

"No."

"If you don't want to accept it, then you should at least come up with a plan to gain that much money in a month." You said, "And how can you be so sure that he won't threaten you again once you do pay him?"

Taehyung looked out the window, "I just have to trust him I guess."

"That's dumb!"

"It's all I can do!" He said defensively as he nervously scratched his head. You took his hand away from his head, "Hey, I'll help you. I promise." You said. He gave you a small smile while trying hard to suppress his emotions. The car was filled with nothing but the sound of the radio as Taehyung drove away from Seokjin's house.
