39| crush

"are you sure?" taehyung asked softly. he was still feeling like the most dumbest person alive, but he pushed it aside, seeing his lover's conflicted face.

the older nodded lightly, a sigh emitting his lips as he closed his eyes for a second, trying to form the words, while taehyung looked at him with concern. "jaehee... she was mine and jin's little sister, only three years younger than me. she never wanted to belong to this mafia things, she lived with us, but went to public school, studied, had friends— you know? a normal life."

he began and taehyung felt even worse for all what he thought about jaehee. "we all loved her, yoongi, namjoon, she was like a younger sister for them too. on some day... she asked us wether she can bring a boy over for a school project, we hesitated, because we didn't know him. he was just a classmate of hers and that project was important, so we let him enter, but only stay in the living room. usually we'd never let anyone in so easily, so i kept an eye on him. after a time i noticed the way he kept looking around suspiciously."

taehyung listened to jeongguk with everything he had, he could hear every sound of anger, of sadness and of loss in jeongguk's voice. he slowly wrapped his arms around him and nuzzled his head in jeongguk's neck. jeongguk's arms also went tighter around taehyung, pulling him closer.

he continued. "once jaehee left the room to get something, he started searching around, he kept searching through the cupboards, drawers  and then i couldn't stop myself from getting my gun and pointing it at him."

taehyung started drawing  pattern with his finger on jeongguk's shoulder, the action relaxing the older male.

"i asked him who sent him and the next thing he did was pointing his gun towards me too," taehyung shuddered. "i wasn't scared, he seemed inexperienced with the gun, he was 18 years old if he was in the same age as jaehee."

"he knew who i was, who we are and he only used jaehee to get informations for his father, who was our enemy... so i didn't hesitate any longer and pulled the trigger."

taehyung felt how jeongguk nuzzled his face in his hair, and even though jeongguk's voice was tight and strong, there were tears forming in his eyes by the memories that got recalled.

"jaehee was in love with that boy, he had been her crush for a few years" taehyung tensed again, "and in the moment i was about to shoot, she entered the room... and saved him, catching the bullet instead of him."

taehyung felt tears prickle in his eyes, the imagination of how much jeongguk must have suffered, how bad he must felt... it stabs his heart.

"i... killed her." taehyung quickly cut of from the hug and looked into jeongguk's face, the older's eyes were pressed shut tightly.

he cupped his face. "look at me." taehyung demanded softly and jeongguk opened his eyes, them locking with taehyung's. "she died because she saved the person she loved, you couldn't stop it, you couldn't do anything—

"i know! i just... after that... i.. i lost everything, jaehee was the only person who kept me sane, who made me smile... then she was gone and.." jeongguk's voice became quieter with the words and taehyung tightly held him. "you didn't kill her, bun, you should be proud of her, she was so strong..."

taehyung mumbled incoherent words to calm the older down, jeongguk's erratic breath making taehyung want to cry. usually the mafia leader was always so calm, so relaxed— taehyung can't see him in pain like this.

but now, he just wanted to be the shoulder jeongguk can cry on. he wants to be there for him, to take care of him, to love him.

his heart felt like shattering into millions of pieces, when he heard a quiet sob leave the older male, even more when jeongguk hugged taehyung back tighter. jeongguk was crying and taehyung was on the edge of doing the same, as he felt the love of his life crying into his hair.

a small time passed and the mafia leader's breathing slowed, he calmed down and the two males loosened their hold on the other, to look into each other's eyes. "thank you," jeongguk whispered and taehyung felt tears brimming in his eyes once again, because jeongguk just seemed so vulnerable and broken at the moment.

"don't thank me, ggukie, it's okay." taehyung spoke softly, while wiping the older's tears away with his thumbs.

jeongguk looked at taehyung with a soft smile, sudden euphoria brightening inside of him, as he felt more than lucky to have taehyung by his side now. "you don't know how much i love you."

taehyung stopped brushing his thumb along jeongguk's cheek bones and blushed, before he pulled them back. "i love you too and i'm sorry i doubted—

"it's okay." jeongguk shushed him with a warm smile, that led to taehyung melting on the spot.

"we should go back, they're probably worried." the younger reminded, attempting to climb down of jeongguk's lap, but failing when jeongguk held him close and suddenly kissed him deeply.

taehyung let a surprised sound out, but closed his eyes just in the next moment, melting against jeongguk's lips.

they made out for a few more minutes, but taehyung cut off because he could feel jeongguk's boner and started laughing at him.

jeongguk had only chuckled, not forgetting to remind taehyung that he'll be responsible of getting rid of it once they're home again.

taehyung hit jeongguk's shoulder and finally climbed down of the older's lap, taking his place on the passenger seat, with a pretty pout forming on his lips.

they cried and hugged their worries away, leaving the air now filled with only a feeling of happiness. that's how they drove back home, taehyung having his arms crossed and his lips jutted out into a pout and jeongguk having his hand resting on taehyubg's thigh, amused at how easily it is to tease his love.

the ride was filled with a comfortable silence, that got interrupted though, once taehyung glanced to jeongguk and notice the boner again, causing him to laugh about it once more.

but they were happy.

they couldn't be happier.

meanwhile...

"you look hilarious in this uniform," namjoon laughed, looking at hoseok who was driving, who scoffed. "shut up, i look sexy as hell."

the two were sitting in the car, when jeongguk ordered them to get taehyung's sister, they didn't hesitate to put on the fake police uniforms and get ready.

"this mission is so easy," hoseok pouted. "better than sitting inside all day," namjoon responded, to which hoseok hummed. of course, pretending to be police officers to get taehyung's sister, aro, out of there was easy. it was an amateur move in fact.

"do you think his sister is a good person? and pretty?" hoseok asked and namjoon shrugged.

"she was a bad sister to taehyung, and jimin and yoongi don't like her. i wouldn't get my hopes to high up, bro."

hoseok pouted. "she's gonna stay with us, isn't she?"

namjoon thought for a moment. "we can't leave her behind with her family..."

hoseok smirked. "finally a girl in this household." he smiles and namjoon rolls his eyes. "i'm sorry, that your brothers turned out to be gay." he chuckled.

"we're there i guess." hoseok said, when they were in front of the castle-like looking mansion of the kim's. there was already a police car in front of it, but no police officers in sight.  taehyung's parents were standing in the door and hoseok and namjoon looked out for aro.

the two of them got out then. they couldn't see her outside.

the mafia members walked up to the man and woman, who looked —obviously fake— concerned over their son.

"good evening, mr and mrs kim, i have to ask you a few questions about your son." namjoon smiled, showing them his 'police'-id.

"you don't mind my partner looking around the house, do you?" he asked, it was hard to decline anything namjoon says. his voice is attractive, the way he comes over as the most convincing person makes it hard to not trust him. besides that, the man is indescribably handsome and no one can withstand these dimples.

"of course not." mrs kim said.

namjoon and hoseok locked eyes, giving each other a nod.

on his way through the house, hoseok met a maid, luckily, because he seriously couldn't find his way through this huge building. he asked her if she knew where aro was and she answered that she's in her room, then described the way.

hoseok was now running, when he arrived at the room he knocked, when no one answered he entered, finding aro on her bed, staring to the ceiling, lifelessly laying there as if there was no tomorrow, headphones in her ears.

hoseok hesitated, before he slowly entered.

aro saw the movement and panicked, ripping her headphones of her hair. "shit, who the fuck are you?" she spat, eyes wide, locking with the handsome.

hoseok looked around, hoping no one heard her, before closing the door behind him.

"why are you closing the door?" aro now sat up, hoseok's breath hitched, "wow." he breathed out, eyeing the pretty girl in front of him.

aro stared at him. "shouldn't the police be after my brother? what are you doing here?"

hoseok shook his head, snapping out of it. "well, your brother and his boyfriend sent me to get you out of this hell, so..."

aro's eyes lit up and she got up from the bed. "are you taehyung's friend?"

"yes, we'll get you out of here. i'll tell your parents that we need to take you to the police stations to ask you some questions."

"how can i trust you?"

hoseok smiled. "your brother always asked that too."

aro halted, her posture loosening and a sheepish smile forming onto her lips.

hoseok looked at her, then averted his gaze away, as he felt a sudden heat shoot up to his cheeks. "you can trust me, we'll get you out of here."
