Twelve
"Three hours Taehyung, In just three hours, my trial will be starting and- and now this? This is what I am hearing? Wow!" Eunwoo mumbled while laughing dryly.
He can not just belive his ears. Nah, not anymore.
Taehyung just nod, hanging his head low, not being able to meet the elder's eyes. After telling him the truth, Taehyung is blaming himself for the entire mess he created, and two innocent person is sinking deeper then he himself. This is all because of him. Guilty is what his current emotion status.
Whereas Eunwoo too is in dilemma, he never imagined to encounter with this situation, exactly the day before his merriage, where his soon to be husband is bagging him to lose the case, with his ex. Like can you imagine the pain, the feeling of betrayal Eun is going through!
"Eun please h-elp me, I won't be asking m-ore. please don't let Lili to win this case... Hyu-ngie is innocent, help him-
"I AM NOT DEFENDER OF JEON JEONGGUK, TAEHYUNG. IT IS HE HIMSELF." Eunwoo shouted out loud startling the other.
"I-i know- I- Eun-
"So what do you want me to do? TAEHUNG YOU KNOW IT BETTER, I DON'T LOOSE. I FUCKING HAVE A REPUTATION OVER THE CITY, I NEVER LOSE IN ANY OF MY CASE!!! THIS CASE IS NOT ANY EXCEPTION AS WELL, AND IN MY EYES BYUN LILI IS INNO-
"SHUT UP!!! SHUT THE HELL UP YOUR STUPID MOUTH EUNWOO!!! BYUN LILI, BYUN LILI, BYUN LILI... THIS FUCKED UP NAME IS EVERYWHERE. SHE DESTROYED MY LIFE. MY HAPPINESS!! MY DREAMS... MY EVERYTHING!!!! WHAT SHE EVER DID TO YOU TOO HAH? DID SHE GAVE YOU A GOOD NIGHT SERVICE TO WIN THIS CASE?"
"TAEHYUNG!!!!
"STOP!!! STOP RIGHT THERE EUN!!! I WANT ANSWER! WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THAT SLUT? WHY YOU CAN NOT HELP ME EVEN AFTER KNOWING ALL."
Eunwoo grabs the other's shoulder firmly Stopping him from spitting why other words.
"Griiting teeth* Stop with your bullshits. I am defending her because I have proof."
"And I am defending Him because I know truth." Taehung replied looking back at the elder's eyes.
With a defeated sigh Eunwoo release him, and started to massage his scalps. A long silence spreads over the hall, only some random sounds can be heard.
"I am sor-ry." Taehyung interrupted wiping his tears. He can not be a dumb at this moment. He can not provoke the elder not in any cost.
Taehyung knows well that, How much Eunwoo is mastery over his work. He would apply every possible knowledge to help Lili out. And Jeongguk would not be able to do any. His Hyungie is not a lawyer. He has a very small amount of knowledge about law and this is nothing in front of Eunwoo. So he had only a single way left, Only to beg.
"Scoff* So eventually we all are encircled around the same story. Isn't it Tae?" Eun asked with so much disappointment in his eyes.
"I am sorry Eun. I am at fault of everything."
"I- Taehyung be honest with me." Eunwoo took a long breath cutting the other.
"Did you ever for once- lo- love me?"
The elder asked with so much desperation. Maybe he would still get a positive response, when there is no way he is ready to hear the actual truth. He is not okay with the situation. His own fiancee' care for his ex is just beyond a simple cause of his inner pain.
Taehyung slowly met his glossy eyes with the other's desperate ones. Too desperate to even blink. Taehyung slowly shook his head, in a negative manner not having any courage to even utter a word.
Eunwoo let out a dry chukle followed by tear drops poured from his eyes. Extreme pain is what he is feeling at this moment in his chest. He is feeling like the dumbest living creature at this moment.
"Fuck!!" The man uttered gritting his teeth.
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!" Eunwoo shouted even more punching the side wall with immense power he has at this moment. "FUCK EVERYTHING!!!
"Eu-eun!" Taehyung uttered in concern but he don't know, if it would be any wise choice to get near to the elder. He never encountered this aura of his fiancee, and this unfamiliar situation is really giving him a chill into his spine.
All Taehyung can do is now just to stand firm on his place while sobbing randomly. He clutched the diary near to his throbbing heart letting his tears to touch it. The faint smell of the book has been giving him an unknown sooth, he feels with his Hyungie, and Hyungie only. Probably he is now too late to make it right with his life, but a little hope would be enough for him to live more, if his Hyungie gets his justice.
"Wh-y? Ta-Tae?" The man collapsed on the ground. Look one moment before he was all ready to conquer the world and eventually later on his own entire world collapsed.
A heavy silence spread all over the hall yet again. Only the sound of the clock striking, reminding them the track of time.

"I can not." Eunwoo mumbled looking at a particular direction giving the other more horrible feeling.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
In a blink of eye, Taehyung is pinned to the wall holding by the elder.
"I FUCKING CAN NOT LEAVE YOU TAE, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I AM EVEN READY TO LEAVE MY JOB, MY DAMN HOUSE. AND I KNOW, YOU WOULD NOT EVEN SPARE ME A SINGLE GLANCE EVER AGAIN, IF I SET HIM FREE! I CAN NOT LOOSE YOU TOO TAEHYUNG!!! NO!!"
"Wh-at are you saying?" Taehung is more then scared at this moment. He is not liking it a bit. All he was asking for a single help, is it that complex?
"Come here!!! " Eun drags the male to upstairs.
"Wh-where are yo-you taking me?. Don't." Taehyung protests wiggling from the grip.
"I SAID COME WITH ME TAEHYUNG!!" Eunwoo drags the male more forcefully.
"Eu-eun please!!" Taehyung cried even more.
.
.
.
"Look at this Taehyung!!!" Eunwoo pushed him forward to the room.
Taehyung about stumbled over his feet but immediately hold up looking at the view. Taehyung never been into this room, although he had spent nights here before.
What caught his eyes, are a beautiful girl's photos hanging all over the room. The woman has a lot of similarities with Eunwoo, as if she is his twin! Taehyung concepts.
"She was the love of my life." Eunwoo mumbled from behind.
"Wa-was?" Taehung mumbled looking over the photos.
"She is dead. She left me in this cruel world to suffer alone. Selfish isn't it?" Eunwoo chukled dryly.
"Eu-eun I am sorry-
"Medison, Byun Lili's best friend."
And Taehyung's heart sank.
"Yes It was Lili who told me about you, who I never thought I would be ever be able to talk again. Because all the time I see her, it reminds me of Medison. I see her in Lili."
So Lili was planning all these, to make them suffer all along!! Taehyung thought.! She didn't even spare Eunwoo, who thinks her as a true friend. How cruel can a person be!!!
"I was dying too along with you. I never ever were prepared for a day without her. My days never ended without our long night talks, with a Champaign near us, late night walks, going for some random dates, movie dates, and what's not. We were famous couple in our college days. And trust me, she were more romantic then me." Eunwoo smiles.
"Then suddenly the romance of our love story faded, she left me, I became alcoholic, I started to spend time in woods. Because nature gives me peace. Never knew it would give me YOU too. I met you on a cliff crying hysterically."
"No it was not a sudden meet, Lili was being the core angel behind it. She made me meet you. Now you tell me how can I let her suffer?
"Looking at you that day, it reminded me of myself. Your pain reminded me of my own ones. And I started to see myself in you. I badly wanted to console you. I wanted to shout at you to not be a pathetic. But everything changed...
"Changed for bett-er, when I locked my eyes with you. I- Tae.. I am a bit selfish when it comes to love now. I am no-not strong, I seem to. I-i am a coward... Plea-se don't show me that care for your lover... I a-am sca-red.. what if you left m-e!!! N-no."
"Lili is fooling all of us. She is playing this to take revenge. Because my Hyu-ngie took her position in office. Eun-
Eunwoo didn't let the other complete his sentence walks away with a scowl. No way he would ever doubt his friend.
"Where are you going?" Taehung runs behind.
"I-ive to go. I am running late."
"Eun stop. You have to listen. If not now, THEN NEVER." Taehyung shouted grabbing the other's hand firmly.
"Tae- stop crying. Plea-se."
Taehung shook his head sobbing. God this is so hard.
"You have waited this long, just hold on for a minute more Eun."
Taehyung pleaded kneeling front of the boy not retreating his eyes over the other's one.
"Taehung get up what are you do-
"You have told me your story, now let me tell you mine."
"Sigh* I know everything. I infact-
"No you don't." Taehung shook his head with a smile.
"You don't know anything my love story, Before being a lover, Jeon Jeongguk was my Hyung and will do. Being born in a family who can swallow you with a little bit of their pride, my Hyungie taught me to be a selfless person. He said I was just two years old when he first took me to his small body. I was too small that, he wanted to put me inside of his pocket and run away." Taehung chukled.
"He- H-e Were always there for me. Always, he used to bath me up, feed me, he even sewed my dresses, he would sneak into our house only to lull me to sleep, he would stay hungry till I eat, it was basically so hard to even breath for me without him."
"We used to sleep on muds nearby river then it was always Hyungie who would wash me up, took all the punishments over my faults. He used to save his all pocket money as he can buy me a lot of strawberries."
"Infact when there was a time, a time when I insisted to leave the village with him, he compiled. Without any hesitation he chose me over his own father, his home, his place. He chose m-e. I-i wa-was his first priority."
Taehyung broke down eventually reminiscing those days, golden days.
"This is our love story Eun, A Love story without romance."
"And now, I messed up everything. I left the most important person of my life, alone to suffer just like Your love ever did ever to you. I am too a selfish. Isn't it?" Taehung mumbled with a smile.
"I dragged him into this mess Eun. All after what he ever did to me, I betrayed him, I-i- betra-yed everyo-one. This is all my fa-ult. I drag-ged you along with m-my mess. I am so- sorry. Sorry... Sorr-
"I will not win this case." Eunwoo mumbled meeting his eyes with those glossy ones.
"What?" Comes out from Taehyung inaudibly.
"I will not let your Hyung to suffer more, moreover I get enough definition of him in your eyes to consider him as not guilty in front of the court of law."
And it was enough for Taehyung to bursted with tears holding his chest. It feels like a lot more then usual pain left the place. He can have the taste of happiness now.
But not for longer,
.
"But in one condition,"
Eunwoo stated firmly looking at the boy's facial aura changes from Happy to confuse,
"You have to Promise me that, In return you won't cancel this marriage and will be mine Forever."
