Kim Taehyung's 25th Birthday Party
The loud music has come to a halt and every one's attention in the party turned towards the pool Seokjin was pushed into.
Taehyung spoke as he stared at Jin who shivered in the pool of water, coughing vigorously.
Jin's words were cut off with a harsh splash of wine on his face.
Taehyung
I don't remember giving you the permission to take my name.
Taehyung spoke as he emptied his glass of wine over Jin's face who struggled to swallow his tears.
Taehyung
You don't even qualify to clean my shoes, don't even go near the thought of warming my bed.
The crowd shook for a moment at the harsh words but soon threw alike comments at Jin, enjoying his state of misery.
Taehyung's words were halted as his head turned to his side receiving a slap from Jungkook who came running to the pool area.
Jungkook
Don't even dare to let out another word against my brother out of your disgusting mouth.
Loud gasps could be heard from every corner of the party area, everyone stunned at the courage of the young boy who dared to slap Taehyung.
Jungkook rushed to help Jin but soon let out a painful yelp when his right hand was brutally twisted on his back by Jhope.
Jungkook struggled to get free as he was held down and was dragged towards Taehyung.
Jin quickly rushed out of the pool gathering all his strength to protect his younger brother.
Seokjin
Please please, let him go.
Jin pleaded by reaching Taehyung as he saw one of the bouncers grab the younger by his throat.
Taehyung stared, his dark gaze on Jungkook who's struggling for air.
Seokjin
I'll do anything, please, he's just a kid
Jin fell on his knees, begging Taehyung for his brother's life.
Taehyung spoke pointing at Jin
Taehyung
And him, bring him to the basement. I shall deal with this bastàrd.
Speaking that, Taehyung walked away and it was the cue for Jhope to take care of the situation and deal with Jin, so he signalled the bouncers to drag Jin out.
Jimin
Let me handle this.
You should follow Taehyung, he doesn't look human.
Giving it a thought, Jhope obeyed and followed Taehyung into the mansion and left Jimin to take control of the party area.
Jimin sighed as he saw Taehyung and Jhope walk into the house and then turned his gaze towards Jin and Jungkook who were dragged by the bouncers in opposite directions.
Following Jimin's command, Jin and Jungkook were freed.
Jin engulfed the younger into a strong hug who returned the same.
Jimin
I give you both 2 minutes to get lost
Jin couldn't fit what he felt for Taehyung in a simple four lettered word 'Love'.
He devoted his self to Taehyung the day he first saw him in the University, he has become Taehyung's shadow for these four years and when the time to drift away has come, he gathered all his courage to stand in front of Taehyung to pour his confession only to face bitter humiliation in the end.
And ever since, Jungkook hated Taehyung.
The man about whom he'd hear Jin talk about every day with all the love in the Universe, the one who he thought was a great man, only to find out that he's the worst form of a human.
Taehyung
How much do you hate me?
Jungkook
I hate you with my everything Taehyung
Taehyung kissed the tear that rolled down Jungkook's cheek
Taehyung
Should've listened when I warned.
Taehyung
Look at you now, all ruined under me.
Taehyung smirked, his eyes glowing in dark shimmer, feeling contempt that he destroyed Jungkook but the low smile on the younger's face said something else.
It said "You can destroy my body but not my soul."
Taehyung
Do you still hate me?
Jungkook
I have every reason to, but I won't.
Hate is a burden to bear so I let it go.
Jungkook
I'm going, far away from you.
Taehyung couldn't stop him
Humans find it easy to fall in love with someone who hates them and to hate someone who loves them.
1.
Jungkook
Thanks for the pay check sir.
Yoongi
Don't thank me, thank your own hard work.
Yoongi
Clients were amazed with our service Jungkook, that's because of you and your team.
Jungkook
I'm glad sir, I hope our team gets selected for managing more events in the future
Yoongi
That's a given Jungkook.
Jungkook flashed a wide smile at yoongi who couldn't help but let his heart flutter over that innocent smile.
Chanyeol
This ring is made for your finger baby.
Seokjin
You are exaggerating channie
Chanyeol
Why would I? I've made up my mind, this is the ring for you.
Chanyeol smiled as he pecked Jin's cheek.
Jungkook
(Clears throat)
Hello? I exist, my opinion is not taken huh?
Jungkook
Even I get a hand in choosing my brother's wedding ring.
(Sulks)
Chanyeol
Oh dummy!
You brother is mine now and I get the final say.
Jungkook
Look at that!
Hyung, don't marry him.
(Side hugs Jin)
Seokjin
(Chuckles)
You know I can't do that, kook.
Chanyeol
Because we are in love.
Chanyeol smiled brightly as he hugged Jin from the other side while Jungkook rolled his eyes at Chanyeol and tried to pull Jin more to his side.
Jungkook
He's my hyung! He loves me more.
(Pouts)
Chanyeol
In your dreams, dummy.
Come on jinnie, tell him that you love me more.
Jin's smile wavered at the last line, his mind travelled to a certain male at the mention of love.
Jungkook
Nu-uh! Only in your dreams!
Jungkook shook Jin out of his trance
Seokjin
Huh!
Yes, yes, I love you more kook.
Jin smiled as he stared at his brother with loving eyes and Jungkook played a mocking smile at Chanyeol who sulked.
Chanyeol
It's not fair baby!
Seokjin
Channie, you know I love kook.
Chanyeol
okayy, anyways, it's only a matter of one week.
After marriage, you belong all to myself.
Chanyeol grinned as he pecked Jin's forehead and walked towards the counter to pay for the ring after giving a flick to Jungkook's head.
Jungkook
(Holds his head)
Ouch!
Jungkook
Chanyeol hyung is a great guy.
I'm so happy for you, hyung
Jungkook squeezed his brother into a hug and Jin returned it.
Namjoon
I can't tolerate Taehyung's outrageous behaviour anymore.
Namjoon
Hitting people in front of media?
He's destructing the Empire I've built over the years.
Jhope
Sir, the young master was not in his right state of mind when it happened, he was drunk-
Namjoon
They were almost dead Hoseok, don't try to cover him this time.
Namjoon
He's crossed every line.
Book him a flight ticket back to Korea-
Before he could speak further, the line went silent and Namjoon could clearly hear Taehyung's yells before it happened.
Taehyung
Snitching on me, huh?
Jhope
Uh, no sir.
Sir Namjoon is really worried about you-
Taehyung chuckled, crushing the mobile with his leg that he grabbed from Jhope earlier while he was talking with Namjoon.
Jhope
Yes, he wants you to come back and-
Jhope was cut off as Taehyung was quick to grab the bottle of whiskey from the table and threw it beside Jhope.
Taehyung
I don't repeat my words.
Jhope helplessly moved out of the room, leaving Taehyung all alone in the dark room with the intoxicating liquid.
Namjoon
Block all his credit cards, not even a single penny shall reach him.
Yoongi
Are you sure, Hyung?
Namjoon
He's getting unstoppable Yoongi, only this way I can bring him home and put some sense in his head.
Namjoon
And once he's back, I need you to guide him to be a decent man to handle the estate.
Yoongi
Uh, hyung, I don't think that's a great idea.
I'm not fit-
Namjoon
I count on you, yoongi, you know your thing and how to behave, which Taehyung clearly lacks so I want you to train him.
Hwasa (Namjoon's wife)
Honey,
I know you want good for both Taehyung and my brother Yoongi but Joon, Taehyung never accepted us.
Hwasa (Namjoon's wife)
He hates us with a passion, we were never his family.
Hwasa (Namjoon's wife)
And how do you think Taehyung will react if you get Yoongi to guide him?
He'll bring hell.
Namjoon sighed while Hwasa and Yoongi shared concerned stares at each other.
Yoongi
I think you should be the one to teach him, hyung.
Namjoon
Me? You must be kidding me.
He'd do everything to not obey me.
Namjoon
I don't even understand why I'm being punished with a son like him.
Namjoon left the room, to find the intoxicating liquid so that he can escape the reality for a while, a reality where his only son hates him.
Hwasa is Namjoon's fourth wife, the only woman who stood by his side coping with all the hatred Taehyung gave her and her brother.
Jungkook
Thanks for dropping me off, chanyeol hyung.
Chanyeol
Don't have to thank me, I'm a cool bro-in-law.
Seokjin
Have a great time at your friend's place kook.
Jungkook
Bye bye both of you~
Jin and Chanyeol started driving off to Jin's house where Jungkook, Jin along with their mother lived.
Chanyeol
I can't wait anymore for our wedding day, baby.
Chanyeol
You're happy with everything that's happening right?
Chanyeol asked, tilting his head to the side to get a better view of Jin who is in the passenger seat.
Jin remained silent for a second before flashing a smile at the boy who was looking at him with longing eyes.
Seokjin
Of course I am happy, channie.
You make me happy, I love being with you.
Seokjin
I'm awaiting our wedding.
Chanyeol grinned, quickly grabbed Jin's hand and pecked his knuckles.
Chanyeol
I love you, Jinnie, so much.
Jin smiled, his cheeks red at the sweet gestures and the confession by the man in front of him.
In a spilt second, their vehicle crashed with another and Chanyeol's head hitting the window and spilling blood was the last thing Jin saw before he lost his consciousness.
