Flaws | Johnny Orlando
If I made a list of my flaws
Well I'd be up right till the morning

"There's no conflicting the fact that Jin was far more funnier than you." I said with a roll of eyes. He shouldn't have joked and ruin the fun of an interesting story. "Let's be serious from now onwards and whoever jokes first would do the worm dance!" I declared new rules.

Yeah, I'm the king, I'm the boss.

"I am serious. Minhee wasn't ready for pregnancy so we decided to adopt one. A few months into our marriage, we legally adopted Taehee." His vision got blurry as he started recollecting the memories. "Minhee didn't wanna get pregnant so she had an abortion which went wrong and got her all sick and... became the reason of her death. I wish I was more careful, I wish I understood her better... She could've been alive." He racked his deep brown locks with his hand and slightly pulled them in frustration.

I took his hands into mine to stop him from doing so because it could lead to hair fall and I would have gotten nightmares imagining a bald Taehyung.

When my hand came in contact with his, he looked up at me. His hurt gaze didn't beg for sympathy, it was just filled with regret. He somehow managed to give me a smile through his pain, lifting his cheeks which were stained by tears.

"Taehyung, I don't know what to say...I mean, I know it was a big mistake on your part but you can't keep regretting over it every time, can you? Everyone faces difficulties, but what makes us different from others is our way of dealing with it and sealing our wounds. So, let's move on." I slowly let out my thoughts, being careful of choosing the words that would give him momentary comfort.

"The only thing I can never stop to do is repenting. I let the lust overtake and here I am now, bound to admit the guilt." He buried his face in his hands silently sobbing or maybe telling himself to be strong and stop crying.

In a split second, I broke down too, sobbing harder than him. I covered my face because I didn't want him to look at my beautiful face while I ugly cried.

"Hey! I should be the one crying, not you. Why are you crying? Stob it. Stop crying..." His voice was cracking and so was my heart. His hand reach out to delicately remove my hand covering my face.

"You—lemme cry peacefully at least." I brushed his hand away and he giggled a bit.

"You're so weird, Y/N. I am so sorry for making you cry too." He apologized, but it was late. My tears could certify as a rainstorm. "A—look at your nose! It's so red right now." 

"Do the worm dance," I said between the sobs and wiped off tears from my face.

"What?" He looked too confused at first but then successfully recalled my words. "Ah, c'mon! What are we? Some drunk teenagers? Enough with all the waterworks, Y/N. Let's go out and have some fresh air."

"Hm... Where shall we go?" Another perk of living with Yumi was, we went out way too often for a normal people. Even though she was too stingy, we still managed to find the cheapest restaurants.

"Let's get some drinks?" He suggested while already getting ready to dial in numbers to make a reservation.

"It's not a nice plan because of two reasons: First, we got so hammered not too long ago and second, with Taehee? By drinks, you must be intending to H2O then, right?" I scoffed at my humourless joke.

"It's just gonna be the two of us, no Taehee and by drinks, I mean drinks only." He explained to me in a 'duh' tone while finally calling someone. He returned after a while and shared the information. "Be ready by eight, got it?" Instead of giving verbal affirmation, I just nodded. "That's like a good gi—nevermind. I'll get back to check on you around seven-thirty. I really don't prefer waiting." He walked out closing the door shut.

My thoughts were still swirling around Minhee to the extent that my head got dizzy and I didn't realize when the blankets wrapped themselves around me and I slept...

Taehyung's PoV

After closing the door, I very well knew where I had to go next. The gym aka Jungkook's second home. "Hey, Kooku Kooku!" I smiled cheerily pushing through the glass doors.

"Why are you calling me by that name?" He asked lifting some weight. After keeping it down, he started speaking, "Wait, why are you so happy? I mean, there's no problem in being happy but why are 'you' smiling so much? I mean happiness is—"

Once he started speaking, I had to literally slap him to shut him up. "Yeah, I got you. Now, stop!" I smiled again, maybe creepily. "I told her everything. From Minhee's death to Taehee being adopted."

"Why the hell?" He inquired in utter confusion. "Aren't you the same person who got very offended a few months back when I was going to tell her about Minhee?" He raised an eyebrow at me which made me move back uncomfortably.

"Yeah, even I don't know why I told her. I just felt like telling her so I did. You think I shouldn't have?" I asked him while questioning my decision. I didn't see anything wrong in letting her know about Minhee.

"No, I mean, yes. It wasn't a bad decision. She's good." For the next 20 seconds, he didn't say anything or even blink. "Does that mean what I'm thinking is right...?" He walked towards me while being suspicious about something I couldn't sense.

"Hm? How will I come to know what you're thinking?" I asked back moving away because the way he tried to sniff out the truth scared me.

"Love. Is it love?" He dramatically spread his arms moving forward while his words hit me like clear sunlight.

"Are you out of your mind? With everything that happened with Minhee, it just feels weird and out of order..." My last few words escaping my mouth were in puffs of whisper.

"Tae," Jungkook kept his hand on my shoulder. "I can't actually console you here because we both very well know what caused her death. With that guilt going along with you everywhere, it would surely be difficult to love again but maybe you can try. After all, Minhee would have liked to see you happy."

"Hm, yeah." I looked down at my wristwatch just to realise time was passing so slow yet, to avoid the conversation, I lied. "Kook, we'll talk about this someday later. Right now, I have to go."

"Where?" He asked.

"Y/N and I are going out," I replied not being in a mood of giving away any details of this little outing, especially after getting that reply from him, I almost wanted to cancel it.

"Where?" He asked again.

"We're going out to get some... drinks," I said and before he could ask something else I practically ran out of the room to avoid answering anymore.

I heard him mutter as I left "Be a man. Just accept the fact that you're whipped."

Though it was hard to kill time, I still managed to do so by trying to count the stone around the pool and then realising how stupid I'm but there are 468 pebbles there, I finally knocked on the door at 7:27 PM but on receiving no response, I barged inside.

Y/N was lying on the bed like a dead body. I expected this from her. She overslept and forgot to get ready.

Seeing her sleep like a hibernating winter bear, I shouted, "Y/N! Y/N!" Even with me shouting out her name, she didn't even stir a little. Running out of patience, I walked over to the jug filled with water.

Marching back to the bed I mercilessly dumped all the content of the glass over Y/N's face and laughed like a demon. Muhahaha.

Her eyes were wide open and there was something lingering in them which scared me. She was raged more like ready to kill me.
