Taehyung looked at himself in the mirror to see how bad he looked. Those brown eyes which looked dull had dark circles around them. he could see a pimple forming on his Forehead and this little thing just managed to frustrate him more.
he hated seeing his reflection and averted him gaze to his hand, splashing some water on his face he allowed his tears to get lost in it.
Faking a huge smile on his face he looked back at the mirror. Patting his cheeks he was ready to go on with his today’s mission of irritating his husband. Taehyung was not the kind of a person anyone could understand easily. he looked strong and fierce on the outside but on the inside, he is mostly shaking and vulnerable.
he will never let anyone else drown in his own miseries. he didn’t share the pain, he only shared happiness. And that was the very reason why people thought he was bipolar. If only they could understand the sadness behind those smiles and the pain behind each cheerful word he spoke.The smile didn’t make him feel any better. But again this was a part of life.
he knew this is happening because this was the first time he saw someone dying. Power of time will make all these pains go away and he trusted it. Straightening his back he made his way back to his office. But to his surprise the person sitting inside made him take a step back.
There sat Sohee with one leg elegantly crossed over the other. His pink dress and silk-like shiny blonde hair were making his look like a Barbie doll. But sadly Tae never liked Barbie dolls. he wanted to leave before he could see her but sadly she had seen him.he turned around to leave when her voice stopped him
Hee: Hey! Tae
Th: Hi…
Tae said awkwardly ashamed of meeting her after what happen at the restaurant that night. Sohee stood up giving her a warm smile.
Hee: Come and sit Tae, we can have a chat till jungkook returns from his meeting.
Tae sat down next to her trying not to make eye contact with such a beautiful creation. Sohee could see the shyness in the his eyes. She didn’t look like the same crazy person she met that day.
Hee: So…how is married life going on?
The very first question made Tae look up at her in surprise. Did she knew of their arrangement..had jungkook told her already?
Th: It’s fine
Tae hoping for Jungkook to return and end this awkward conversation.
Hee: You know Taehyung… Jungkook and I go long way back…he was that introvert boy which every girl dreamed to date…and I was that celebrity who everyone knew. We are friends since childhood. When we were in high school, I opened up to him about my 4 years of hidden love. He then said that he did not have those type feelings for me. However, he gave me a chance.
He just nodded knowing where this was going to go.
Hee: We dated and you won’t believe this but It didn’t last long. Within months he said he couldn’t see me as more than a friend. truly he is such a wonderful person at heart….I mean he may seem to be cold sometimes but he cares. He cares a lot for the very few special people in his life
Th: And why are you telling me this Ms Sohee.
Tae asked looking at her with confusion. To his surprise, Sohee placed his hand on Tae shoulder making Tae relax a bit.
Hee: I am not a villian Tae…I don’t intend to snatch away your husband from you as you must be thinking.
Th: No Miss Sohee i don’t
Hee: Please Tae don’t lie now, I saw the fire of jealousy in your eyes when you approached me in that restaurant. It is completely understandable.
There was a silence between them for a few minutes as Sohee sighed and turned Tae seat towards him
Hee: See Tae..I love Jungkook okay…I really love him but he doesn’t. He doesn’t love. He can care but he can’t love. He has closed his heart to everyone and just won’t let anyone in. I want you to teach him to love…
Th: But…I can’t even i…. but..he
Hee: I know you are not what he expected…I know his tastes quite well. But the person he wants does not exist alright…those high standard rich brats are just a piece to showoff …I have met enough in my life but never came across many who care for anything except their money.
Th: But…you yourself….
Hee: I know you must be thinking that I am no different than them. Well, to be honest, I am also like them…my dad has spoiled me to the extent he buys everything I place my finger on. But when it comes to love I can’t buy it..I just can’t afford it. I realize this but most people out there don’t….they are just blinded by greed and power. You must be thinking about how weird I am but to be honest I don’t care.i just want the best for jungkook and you can be the best.
Th: But I nothing I am just a normal boy…I am not-
Hee: Oh dear how badly mistaken you are. The way I saw Jungkook look at you….you must be special or else normal things don’t intrigue Jeon Jungkook
Tae couldn’t believe this. Was this she saying the truth? No its can’t be Does he feel something for him.but then why does he behave so coldly with him.
Tae laughed at her moving his head in a no.
Th: You…you are badly mistaken… Jungkook…he doesn’t-
Hee: You will see Tae…you will realise it yourself. But for now, I want you to make him live his life. To learn to love, to enjoy. He has closed himself inside his own made walls…I want you to break them all.
Th: I can’t.. Miss Sohee
Hee: You can ….only you can. So tell me are you in?
Th: Okay…but what do I have to do?
Hee: We will start with it tomorrow, here is my address….
Hee: Can I hug you Tae?
He looked up to see how excited she was. She was nearly jumping with excitement and before Tae could reply she was embraced in her arms. Taehyung for once felt so wrong about himself. This girl here was everything he didn’t think she would be.
A throat was cleared in the background and both broke their hug to see a stunned Jungkook standing there. His eyes for once looked genuinely surprised
Hee: Kook you are back!! I met Tae again today…he is such a sweet boy.
Jungkook internally laughed at her statement.
Jk: I think you forgot your last encounter with him I guess?
He said smirking while placing the files on his table.
Hee: Oh that…it was just a bad start… anyways tomorrow he is coming to my place and we both are having a friends day out!
Now Jungkook eyes nearly dropped out of their sockets.
Jk: You two are really weird…one day you want to kill each other and the other you are like what..best friends now?
Hee: Don’t exaggerate kook..we didn’t behave like that
Jk: Do whatever you want…just don’t….. disturb me…and you finished typing?
Th: No…I haven’t even started
He gave him that cold look and he immediately picked up the laptop and the sheets.
Jk: Hee come let’s discuss the project
Jk: What’s cooking between you guys?
Jungkook asked Tae as they were driving back from work. he asked looking at him through the passenger seat.
Jk: Since when did you become friends? And if I remember correctly this was just your second meet
Th: She is not like I thought…she is a really nice person
He said staring at the road in front, unknown to him jungkook was staring at him.
Jk: Hee is my childhood friend…we have spent most of our childhood together as we shared the same school and our families knew each other. Then in high school, I dated her but then we decided not to get too much involved. After high school she went her own way, I went mine and that day on our honeymoon we met for the first time in the last 7 years. We are doing a project together so she keeps visiting sometimes. Are you listening?
Th: Oh yeah!! It’s just that I never thought you would explain
Jk: Well you deserved to know considering you are my wife
His words made him blush in the coldness of the night.
Th: Jungkook Can…can I ask you something?
he asked already expecting his question to be too personal for him to answer.
Jk: Yes
Th: She is beautiful…and nice…and smart…and everything you wanted your dream girl to be like….so why didn’t you marry her?
Jk: Hee?? why will I marry her if I don’t love her?
Th: So why did you marry me if you don’t love me?
His question made him stop the car all of a sudden. For him to only realise later that they have already reached His hands turned into fists on side of his head as he dipped his head in the crook of his neck. His chest was moving up and down breathing heavily in his close proximity.
Jk: I will never love you Tae.I can only hate you….I…just can’t…
And with this Tae had done something which Jungkook couldn’t. Placing Tae palms on his face Tae had pulled up his face and smashed his lips on his. He couldn’t control.Tae salted tears could be tasted in the kiss and he deepened it further. Trying to take away all the pain he has given him. Only when the taste of salt got replaced by that of blood did he stop. Pulling back from him immediately. Regret filled his eyes and he again placed his head on her shoulder in defeat.
Jk: I am a beast Tae..I can only give you pain
he had tears in his eyes, was all ruined once again. the day
Th: You are hurting yourself Kook..please let me heal you.. please
Jk: Because you don’t understand things normally!! You don’t get it when I say it once that this marriage is nothing but a legal contract! What you think is all wrong!!
Th: I just…asked…
He was fighting his own battles which were unknown to him. he tried to place his shaking hands on his shoulder to only have him press his back on his seat.
Jk: No it’s not just that!! I know how your stupid brain works!! You think this is a fairytale where you will make me fall for you…. you think I am your prince charming…when I am not! I can be a villain in your story but never a prince… never…
He looked angry all of a sudden as his knuckles have turned white on the steering wheel.
Th: Jung..kook..
Jk: Haven’t I made myself crystal clear as to why I have married you? Is the contract alone a proof not enough to show how badly I didn’t want to marry you?
Th: I know…. it’s just…..i … thought..
Jk: You thought wrong Whatever your fucking up brain thinks it all damn wrong!!
His sudden increase in voice made him tremble with fear. he had awoken the beast again.
Th: Why…why are shouting at me? Can’t you talk normally like a civil person? Just why do you have to shout at me like that?
With this, he was gone banging the door of the car shut and making the windows of the car to vibrate with its force. Tae sat there shocked at another one of her failed attempts of opening up this man’s locked heart. But then he felt wetness on his shoulder to only see teardrops trailing down his chest.
The very realisation of the fact that he was crying on Tae shoulder made him realise that what Sohee said was true. He was hurting himself as much as he was hurting heim and only he could bring him out of this pain.
Th: I will fix you Jungkook, my dear husband…I will fix you to immortality even if I have to break myself to perishability
