Ch.2: For the Lover That I Lost

"Think about your lips and the way they kiss
There's so much I really miss about you
Sitting on the beach, you were still in reach
And I haven't felt free without you

All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need

So I lay a dozen roses
For the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices
Even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you"

September 10 Seoul, Korea

"하나 둘 셋" (hana, dul, set/one, two, three).

"BULLSEYE" Taehyung yelled in English and put his arm up but he got spanked by his trainer on the sides.

"No. English" the middle aged woman yelled.

"Please Ms.Lee" Taehyung answered in English "I get a spank for speaking English but no awards for getting archery right."

"We're done training" she said and left the training room.

Taehyung rolled his eyes and put his arch and bow down, he mumbled incoherent angry words at his strict trainer, thankfully she wasn't too mean. She spanks him almost in every training session but she doesn't do it hard, just enough force for Taehyung to remember that he was wrong.

"Taehyung!" Mark yelled from the door.

"What happened?" Taehyung asked and Mark ran up to him, breathless.

"Your father wants to see you now, you know they're going to check you before you enter his office" Mark whispered lowly "give me the foreign phone."

Taehyung licked his lips nervously and nodded.

After many months, almost a year, of having zero contact with Jungkook, Taehyung found a loophole to their situation, a way to contact him that was beyond dangerous but worth it. He begged and begged Mark and Johnny to help him out and after a couple days of having to do Mark's and Johnny's chores, he finally got what he wanted.

A foreign phone from Siberia, Russia; used especially by spies to send anonymous messages to eachother without anyone ever finding where it comes from or the identity of the person sending the messages. The only catch is that the receiver couldn't answer to those messages, therefore Jungkook would never be able to respond and Taehyung had no idea if the younger was actually getting them, he only hoped he would because if not then he's sending love and erotic messages to random spies in Russia.

Taehyung gave the phone to Mark and made his way to his father's office.

"Mr.Kim, your son is waiting for you" a guard said after checking Taehyung's belongings and giving back his gun.

That's another thing, Taehyung trained 24/7 now to participate in future missions and deals his father's mafia and drug cartel had to do. He practiced archery, fire arm training, karate, and martial arts skills to fight against enemies. In other words, Taehyung was a lost soldier. He did well and learned a lot but he didn't want any of this, he didn't even get to finish college and he couldn't practice photography anymore.
