Thirteen

Taehyung threw out a dice on the gambling table grinning from ear to ear.

"Once again, I'm going to get all your money"

"Not this time boss" One of his men said.

Taehyung didn't answer him and just smiled cockily. The next moment, he had won and was now extending his hands towards everyone.

"Bring it in! That's right" He said.

His men grumbled and began giving him their money. Suddenly, one of them spoke.

"Boss, are you sure the information about the ware house is correct"

Taehyung nodded. "Hundred percent. But this is going to be the toughest mission we've ever done since it isn't located at this part of town. it's going to take quite some time"

"How long boss?"

"Probably two months or more"

The men looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. Taehyung knew he had to reassure them.

"I know it's a lot to take in, having to leave your families behind but this is the sacrifice we have to make for the greater good. We have to root out the evil in this community. As long as the Parks stay standing, our problems will never end"

"You're right". The men chorused

"It's true"

The men murmured in agreement. Taehyung smiled to himself.

"Prepare yourselves. In a weeks time, we should be leaving"

They all whispered in agreement. Conversation filled the hall but it all came to an abrupt end when they heard the sound of footsteps. A young average tall well dressed man entered smiling widely. He stopped for a while to access the hall then casually walked towards them. Taehyung stared deeply at the man.

"Can I join? I've been meaning to come over for some time now but I couldn't get around to doing so. I decided to do so since I had some time on my hands"

Taehyung could perceive the confidence in this man's manner as he strode forward.

"You sure? You could loose a lot you know. We aren't cheap"

The man smirked. "I was expecting that. Honestly, money isn't my problem"

Taehyung chuckled to himself.

This guy is so full of himself he thought but continued anyway.

"Okay then, I hope you don't regret this"

"I never regret anything"

Taehyung scoffed and they began playing. They all placed their bets and during the first round, the man won the game. The men stared at him in disbelief. Taehyung couldn't believe that his title was about to be snatched by a total stranger so he challenged him again and this time, won. They played against each other consecutively but no one could out do each other. The rest were already tired and set to go home.

"Can you be done with it already?" One of them cried.

The two men decided to give it a rest and shook hands with each other as a sign of truce.

"It's been a long time since i had a challenge. It feels nice" Taehyung said.

"Same here"

"Kim Taehyung!"

"Min Yoongi"

The two men laughed heartily as they both walked over to the bar to continue their conversation over drinks while the others left them. They had a lengthy discussion.

"I'm getting married in two weeks time." Yoongi finally announced.

Taehyung smiled. "Wow! Congratulations"

"You should attend my wedding"

"Thank you for the invitation but I'll be going for a business trip. I don't think I'll be able to make it"

Taehyung suddenly seemed thoughtful.

"I'm also thinking of getting married. After I get back, I'll propose"

Yoongi hit his back playfully. "That's right. Now's the best time" He paused.

After drinking for some time, they decided to leave. Both went their separate ways and when Taehyung got home, he found Jungkook lying asleep on his bed. He immediately lay beside him and wrapped his arms around his body. He placed a soft kiss on his cheek and felt him move. He had opened his eyes and Taehyung knew he was now awake.

"You're back. How come you're so late" Jungkook whispered.

"I made a new friend today. He invited me to his wedding but it's sad I won't be able to attend since I will be going on a trip"

Jungkook sighed. "How long will you be gone?"

"I'm thinking two months... maybe more?"

Silence.

"I know it's a long time but I really need to do this. Once I'm done with this mission, no more travelling"

Jungkook turned to face him looking him straight in the eye.

"Aren't you a simple worker, what are you traveling for?"

He seemed discontent so Taehyung chuckled.

"Don't you want me to be rich? A person like you deserves to be with a man who can take care of all your needs. When I return, I will be swimming in money and then, you and I will get married. Won't you like that?"

He was planning to expose his true identity to Jungkook upon returning. As he thought of this, he couldn't wait to see his reaction. He pecked his lips gently.

"Will you wait for me?"

Jungkook nodded. "Mmh... I'll wait"

"Do you love me?"

Jungkook nodded again. "Mmh...I love you"

Taehyung hugged him tighter. "Then, that's more than enough for me"

Two days later, Jin who had been gone for a very long time finally returned. Taehyung introduced Jungkook to him and they got acquainted with each other. He also brought Jin to the medical center and he met Jimin. Jin was immediately taken with Jimin that Taehyung suspected he had started to like the young doctor. He even started visiting the center regularly with Yeontan leaving Taehyung very suspicious but he kept his thoughts to himself. He and his brother were at his house having a few drinks when they decided to have a conversation.

"Please take care of Jungkook while I'm away"

"Sure, that won't be a problem" Jin replied thinking intently at this person who had captured his brother's heart. However, he felt uncomfortable. Something at the back of his mind made him feel like this man would turn his brother's life upside down. He was like an unbridled horse. A free bird. From traveling around, Jin had encountered so many people like Jungkook before. He had that look in his eyes, eyes that screamed of seduction. He couldn't comprehend how his brother could have an affair with this sort of person.

Yes, Taehyung was crazy and had always been attracted to sexy and unrestrained people like Jungkook but to actually think of marrying him, he was overwhelmed so he sat down with Taehyung to have a talk with him.

"Are you sure of this? Are you sure you really want to marry Jungkook? He seems...."

"Loose, wild, flirty ..." Taehyung chuckled.

"So what? I'm crazy about him and the most important thing is he also feels the same way"

"You hardly know anything about him. Where he's from, his family..."

"I know his brother. I'm actually sort of close to him if you count me bickering with him all the time as close... So yeah..."

He laughed to himself. Jin stared at him. He could see that Taehyung was head over heels and there was no stopping him so he discontinued the conversation. A day before Taehyung travelled, he visited Jimin at the medical center but the latter was too occupied with his patients so he simply left a note.

That evening, when Jimin returned to his office, he saw the note Taehyung left for him placed on his table.

Dear saint Jimin,

I'm sure your heart will be lighter knowing that I won't be around to trouble you anymore. I'll be going on a trip and won't be back in two months. I hope you take care of yourself and remain the saint you've always been but please, can you do me a favor? Stop dressing up as a monk just to mourn the loss of your lover. The jerk doesn't deserve it. You should go back to being yourself. Your true self. Please take care of my love Jungkook. Till we meet next time.

Kim Taehyung.

Jimin didn't know what to feel after reading that letter. He was a mixture of emotions. He felt sad because of the betrayal Taehyung was about to experience from both him and Jungkook. They both hid the truth about Jungkook's impending marriage from him all for selfish reasons.

But he also felt a sense of loss. He felt like he would miss Taehyung...a little. When that horrid thought crossed his mind, he immediately shook his head quickly.

"What the hell are you thinking Jimin? You'll miss Taehyung? That Savage? It's actually a good thing he's gone. Maybe, now you'll get some peace of mind around here"

But there was a little tug at his heart and Jimin didn't bother about it. Taehyung eventually travelled with Hoseok accompanying him and everyone continued with their lives. Jungkook and Yoongi's wedding was coming up and the Park family prepared earnestly for it until the day it arrived. The night before the wedding, Jimin went over to Jungkook's room and found him inspecting the suit he would wear on his wedding day.

Jimin watched him quietly knowing Jungkook was purposely ignoring him. He couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out.

"Don't you feel anything?"

Jungkook froze and glared at him.

"Because I feel terrible knowing that I joined you in your lies"

Jungkook scoffed laughed hard. "What are you talking about?"

"You're getting married tomorrow, how could you be so relaxed? Don't you feel a sense of guilt?"

Jungkook shook his head. "Now, what do you want me to do saint Jimin? Cry? Remember that I'm doing this for the sake of our family"

"No! You're doing this for your sake!"

Jungkook laughed. "What do you expect me to do? But to be honest, I do feel bad but the only reason I feel this way is because I'm giving up my teddy bear for a miserable life with Yoongi but at least the money I will gain from him is worth it. For that alone, I can endure anything"

Jimin sighed. "Don't you feel bad for Yoongi at all? Don't you feel anything for him?"

"I do. I love his money...If only Tae was rich. I would have given up anything for him"

"Are you that crazy over him?"

Jungkook smiled. "You have no idea. He makes me feel things no one else can. When he touches me, it's like I completely melt in his arms"

He smiled slyly and glanced at Jimin from the corner of his eyes. "I wish you would know what that feels like but it's unfortunate you never will seeing as how you've decided to dedicate yourself to Buddha"

He giggled. "You'll never know..."

He ran his hands over his neck, closing his eyes as if he had gone high from intoxication. "You'll never know passion"

Jimin shuddered. He didn't know why but he felt affected by Jungkook's words and his actions. He seemed to be far away in his thoughts until Jungkook nudged him.

"What are you thinking about?"

He grinned. "Oh...did what I say get to you? Do you really want to know what that feels like"

Jimin pushed him away. "Get away from me. You're disgusting"

Jungkook laughed and even as Jimin ran away from the room, Jungkook's laughter still kept on ringing in his head.

That night, he had a nightmare.
He was kissing an unknown man, his hands running through his dark hair, the man's hands running through his body. His heart was racing and he felt feelings he had never felt before. He felt so content and happy like this was where he was always meant to be. The man's lips left his and Jimin opened his eyes only to stare into the face of the man. It was Taehyung and he smiled at him with his arms around his waist.

"I love you Jimin" he whispered.

Jimin screamed out his lungs when he woke up tightening the sheets around his body. His teeth was shaking and his entire body was trembling.

"What a horrible dream! Me and Taehyung? No way!"

"I'm sure it was Jungkook's words. They got to me. Yes that's it"

Jimin said trying to convince himself and shaking his head to further drift that image to the back of his mind. Morning came and it was the day of the wedding. The house was filled with people. Beauticians hired by Jeong Hana were coming in and out of Jungkook's room. Jimin felt bitter. This should have been his day but now it was Jungkook's. He felt empty and he really was in no mood to attend the wedding.

Nanny Jihye met him lying on his bed looking totally depressed.

"Jimin dear, do get ready. We have to be at the church on time"

"I don't want to Nanny. I can't bear to see the both of them getting married"

Nanny Jihye shook her head sadly. "You are Jungkook's brother. Your absence will definitely be noticed"

Jimin heaved heavily tears threatening to pour down his eyes. "But it's too much"

Nanny Jihye smiled sadly. "I know my dear boy but it will definitely get better. Yoongi has no idea what he just lost. A man more deserving of you will come.. don't worry"

Jimin shook his head. He didn't believe that for a second. Besides, he was done with love, having devoted almost all his life into loving one person, his heart was too exhausted to try again but avoiding the whole thing won't make the pain go away so he just had to suck it up.

Jungkook had already prepared himself, looking very handsome in his suit. He was driven to the church while Jimin and the Park couple came later. Jeong Hana looked at Jimin's pale face as they were all walking towards their cars. She snorted.

"Don't bring down the mood by having that dreadful expression on your face"

Mr Park sighed "Don't bother with him yeobo. It's normal for him to feel unhappy today of all days"

Jeong Hana eyed Jimin. "I just don't want him to bring down the mood of the guests"

She rolled her eyes "Whatever I don't care. If he wants to go around looking like a zombie on his brother's wedding day then he can be my guest"

She walked off and entered the car. Mr Park followed behind her. Nanny Jihye who was beside Jimin tapped him reassuredly on the shoulder. He sighed and they both went together to the church venue in his car.

**********
Jin was in his office when he heard the workers gossiping among themselves that afternoon. He was a lawyer and he owned a chamber. One of the lawyers was discussing with his secretary so Jin couldn't help but over hear their conversation.

"Today is the wedding of one of Park Han Soo's sons. He is marrying the first son of the Kim's?"

"Really? How come we are just knowing of it now?"

"Both families wanted to keep it private which is why the media didn't know of it till now"

Anything related to the Parks was bound to get Jin's attention. His brother would be very interested in knowing about this news so Jin approached the two gossips and they both greeted him feeling embarrassed at being caught

"We're very sorry for discussing during working hours sir" his secretary said, her face crumpling into one filled with discomfort.

"It's okay. I was just quite interested in what you both were saying. You both were saying the son of the Parks is getting married today?"

The lawyer nodded producing his phone from his pocket. "Yeah...it's even in the news"

He showed him the news on the phone and Jin froze staring in disbelief at what he was seeing.

"This can't be happening. This can't be happening" he mumbled. The other two were surprised by  his reaction. He stumbled away from them and immediately dialled Taehyung's number several times but he was unreachable.

Jin groaned in frustration and ran out of the office without saying a word to anyone.

******
Jungkook and Yoongi had said their vows and the reception had moved to a five star hotel. People were eating, drinking and making merry. Jungkook and Yoongi were in the midst of their parents dancing. Jimin couldn't bear to be a part of the celebration. Jimin couldn't stand to see the hypocritical look on Jungkook's face. He looked like he was the happiest person in the world when the truth was, he'd rather be in a passionate embrace with someone else right at that time. Jimin felt sick and drank a lot to be able to bear the whole situation. Soon, the alcohol started to take effect so he decided to go to the rest room and put himself in order. He was in an empty corridor when he felt someone drag his arm. He turned only to face the angry eyes of Jin. Since Taehyung introduced Jin to him, Jimin had only seen him as a gentle person but right at this moment, he was fuming.

"Jin?"

"Was it fun to toy with my brother's feelings?"

"Excuse me?"

Then it hit Jimin. Jin found out. He gasped.

"I can explain!"

"There's nothing to explain. Do you have any idea what you people have done? Do you know what Taehyung is capable of doing if he finds out about this"

Jimin shook his head sadly. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to lie but Jungkook is my brother. I can't just...."

"You have no idea the hell that's about to fall on you people..."

He smirked. "Do you know what everyone call Taehyung around here? The devil. Do you know what he'll do when he finds out that you both played him. Not only that, you are both the sons of Park Han soo?"

Jimin was confused. "What does me and Jungkook being my father's sons have to do with anything"

Jin smiled. "Then listen carefully because I'm going to tell you a story"

Then he told Jimin everything. From how Park Han soo killed Taehyung's parents to how he became V to exact revenge on him. When he was done, the alcohol in Jimin's system had completely worn off. So many things began to fall into place and Jimin began to fear for the safety of his family, of Jungkook, Yoongi, his father and even his step mother

Jin glared at him "What are you going to do now? Are you going to spill the beans because it doesn't matter anymore. Taehyung is going to destroy all of you"

"Please....help me...."

"It's out of my hands. Just tell Jungkook to be ready for what is about to befall all of you"

"Please..."

But Jin stormed away and Jimin was full of apprehension. For the first time in a while, he really hoped Taehyung wouldn't come back
