《Tempting the Devil (Taekook)》FORTY TWO
Advertisement
''Some people in our world is showing rebellion, JK. They are using your disorder against you for fulfilling their interests and provoking others to go against you.'' Jimin showed the concern. Jungkook was sitting in his office, his main five were standing in front of him giving a report on what happened in last three days.
The mafia leader's face was blank, his face morphed in seriousness as he concentrated on each and every words the boys in front of him saying.
''Those douchebags are provoking the others to boycott you saying that how can a mentally unstable person can be a leader of Mafia.... Those assholes, they all are asking for a death wish.'' Hobi said angrily. He is cheerful and all but he can't see anyone disrespecting their leader. He would kill for Jungkook.
''Don't stress yourself, Kook....this is not something you hadn't handled before. Your health is important.'' Jin said worriedly when he saw Jungkook lost in thoughts, his wounded hand from the night before was now neatly dressed, all thanks to doctor Jin.
'' Get me the names of all the motherfuckers who are playing this dangerous game. They should know who they are standing against of. No one dares to go against JK.'' Jungkook instructed Jimin and Yoongi who nodded.
''And Namjoon Hyung, trace their locations. They need some lesson.'' The ravenette instructed the hacker who saluted the mafia leader with his two fingers dramatically.
'' Hobi....I will nee-'' he stopped when he saw a certain blonde standing in the doorway with a diary in his hands. Everyone looked at Jungkook confusedly and followed his eyes.
All of them became tensed as soon as their eyes landed on Taehyung. Letting the two boys talk now can cause Jungkook to get another episode.
The two boys kept looking at each other. Taehyung felt his insides churning up in anticipation so he averted his eyes but the ravenette kept looking at him openly through nervous and hesitant eyes.
'' We will talk later.'' The ravenette dismissed his Golden five who went out of the room hesitantly. Jin looked at Taehyung with pleading eyes but the blonde kept his gaze serious.
He is not here to play games.
He will end this game today.
Once everyone went out, the ravenette stood up nervously and straightened his clothes. Taehyung's eyes fell on the bandaged hand of Jungkook. The mafia leader noticed it and he immediately hid it behind himself.
''Tae....Y-You here?'' Jungkook asked nervously taking Taehyung's attention away from his hand.
The blonde walked inside and without replying, he threw the diary on Jungkook's table, flinching the mafia a little. The blonde was already feeling thousand of things, thinking about thousand of things, Jin's words still in his mind. He don't wanna get weak before ending all this.
Jungkook looked at the diary and back to the blonde, waiting for Taehyung to say something.
''What is this?'' He asked finally when the blonde didn't spoke and kept looking at him blankly.
''See yourself...'' Taehyung replied simply making Jungkook to pick up the diary hesitantly, his eyes still glued to the blonde. In the process of picking up the diary, a picture fell out of it and Jungkook looked at it confusedly.
A girl stood beside a boy..no. not a boy....beside Taehyung who seemed to be in his teenage, both looking at the camera with their wide smiles. Jungkook looked at the picture carefully to see what Taehyung wanted to show but he didn't find anything. When the blonde saw confusion on ravenette's face, he decided to speak.

''Remember her?'' Taehyung asked bitterly making Jungkook to look at him with furrowed burrows.
''N-No....who is she?'' He asked in bewilderment, his stomach churning in trepidation. Why was Taehyung behaving so dryly? Why wasn't he shouting at him for slapping him?... Why wasn't he asking him about what he saw in the party? There were so many questions but Taehyung didn't showed any sign of curiosity. Instead, he was asking to remember a girl he had never seen before.
'' Really now? You don't know her? Or are you still acting?'' Taehyung asked furiously making Jungkook feel that pang on his heart again.
Why is it so hard for Taehyung to believe him?
''I really don't know her, Tae.'' He tried to make Taehyung believe him. He don't know what words will make Taehyung believe him.
''You are saying that you don't know a girl who died because of you?'' The blonde asked raising his voice a little making Jungkook even more confused. He looked at the picture again to remember if he had ever seen that girl but that face was nowhere in his memory or maybe his memory wasn't supporting him.
'' Because of me?...But I don't even know her.'' The mafia leader defended himself.
''Wow....A girl loved you like crazy, she killed herself for you because you never noticed her and you are saying that you don't know her. Do you know who she is?'' Taehyung asked tilting his head a little but the ravenette could only shake his head in response.
He really don't remember seeing that face ever.
'' She is Kim Hyo Seon My sister, my guardian, my fa-family, my friend, my fucking everything and because you you....only because of you, she left me. She died. She killed herself. She fucking committed suicide....because you were not thoughtful enough to even look at her....you were busy fucking with your flings.'' Taehyung shouted and he tried to stop the tears but they were too stubborn.
The mafia leader stood stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he should feel. Taehyung, whom the ravenette loves with his life, his sister used to love Jungkook and he never knew anything about it. He don't even remember seeing her. He thought that he fucked up two days before but he fucked up years ago and he was coming to know about it today.
But was he really the one to blame for whatever happened with blonde's sister?
Taehyung's sister died because of him. A person Taehyung loved so much and he killed her unknowingly. Jungkook was dreaming about never hurting the blonde in his life but he already has hurted him like no one ever will and he even didn't know about it before today.
The realisation itself send chills up Jungkook's spine.
He is a mafia leader and had killed thousand of people in his life but he was regretting the death of a girl he didn't even killed.
''Because of you, Jeon Jungkook...only because of you I was left alone in this cruel world to survive, I was forced to live alone and cry every night, I was made to forget how to laugh and focus on taking her revenge, I was running miles, pulling tyres, throwing knives, training myself to be able to stand in front of you, against you....against the leader of fucking ma-mafia.'' Taehyung paused. The ravenette was too shocked to say or do anything as Taehyung revealed every little struggle he had gone through.

Jungkook feared even imagining Taehyung crying every night, hating Jungkook every day, becoming a person he never was. The ravenette knew that none of it was his fault but he accepted every blame Taehyung put on him.
He was ready to take each of Taehyung's harsh word if that makes Taehyung feel a little....even a little bit better.
'' At an age in which people don't care about anything, go out with friends, chill with their families and go clubbing late night.....I was doing a research on you, tracking every little movement you made, read about your hobbies, your strengths, your weaknesses so that when I face you, I know what will make your life miserable....just the way you made mine....a living hell.'' Taehyung shouted and Jungkook wanted to hug him to comfort him, or sit on his knees and beg for his forgiveness even when he was not the real culprit.
And today, every face that became lifeless because of him flashed in front of his eyes. He felt the pain they had gone through. What they would have felt? what their families would have felt?
And it all scared Jungkook.
''Because of you, I lost my innocence, I lost my teenage years, I lost the only person that I could call as my family. While I was living like orphans, You...The mafia leader JK was enjoying his life. You made me a murderer, Jeon Jungkook.....a person who was thirsty for your blood, ever fucking second of my day, I thought about various ways I will make you suffer. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I fucking left my college just to do what?....To kill you.'' Taehyung spat angrily making Jungkook look at him in disbelief.
He never imagined Taehyung was after his life.
If he wanted to kill him, then why did he do what he did that day when his own men were chasing him?
Did Taehyung knew about his plan?
Jungkook's face went pale. The person he wanted to spend his life with was planning to take his breathe away and kill him?
'' Don't make that face.....I know that you knew about my motives. Yes, I was here to kill you, to fulfil my promise to my sister, to take her revenge....'' Taehyung finally exposed why he was here. What his motive actually was and it only confused Jungkook.
Taehyung never did something that can be a risk for Jungkook's life.....instead, he gifted him the best days of his life.
The ravenette couldn't understand anything. If Taehyung was here to kill him, then what was that what he saw in his brown eyes when he kissed him in the cell of basement?.. What was that what he saw in those blue eyes when he kissed him in the car and wrapped his shirt around Taehyung's waist?.. What he saw in Taehyung's eyes when he danced with him when they went for a date?
Was it all fake?
Did Taehyung never love him?
Was he imagining things? Was all of it a hallucination?
Was he wrong when he thought that maybe Taehyung also reciprocate his feelings?
''Then why am still alive, Tae?'' The ravenette asked weakly making Taehyung chuckle through his tears.
''You are a player, Jungkook....'' Taehyung for the first time called him by his first name and the ravenette never loved his name this much before today. If it was some other moment, he would have asked Taehyung to call him that again and again, or...or kiss him...or smile widely but his happiness was not long lived.
'' Do you think that I didn't try to kill you?'' He asked making Jungkook look at him with painful expressions, his tears threatening to come out. It all was too much for his heart which was shattering again and again with every word the blonde was saying.
'' I tried....Not once, not twice but again and again. I tried to make you suffer, make you cry, to just kill you but guess what?... I failed every time.Every fucking time. I thought I was ready to kill anyone, that I was trained enough to kill YOU..'' Taehyung pointed his finger towards Jungkook....'' But I realised now, that I can't kill you, or anyone. Its not in me to see a person taking his last breathe or dying because of me. I am not you, Jungkook....I am me. I was not taught to take lives...I was taught to love everyone....share happiness'' Taehyung said crying, his tears streaming down freely making Jungkook felt so miserable.
What Taehyung was not able to do till now, he was very successfully doing that by crying in front of Jungkook, by showing his weak and helpless eyes to the mafia leader.
Jungkook felt his heart shattering, his throat clogging as he felt difficulty in breathing, his hands itching to take the blonde in his arms and embrace him in his warmth, away from every sorrow, every problem, every little thing that can make the blonde upset. He wanted to tell Taehyung that he can never hurt him, that it wasn't his fault, that he didn't killed his sister but he don't know how to speak....his words didn't supported him.
He can see anything, people crying, dying, blood shedding like water but he can't see what he was seeing right now.
He can't see Kim Taehyung crying.
He will set the world on fire if anyone tried to make Taehyung cry but what should he do now?....He was the cause behind those tears and for the first time, he felt disappointed in himself. He can't do anything about whatever happened.
''T-Tae...I-'' Before he could complete his sentence, the blonde cut him in middle.
''And if you think that you are also a human....read that diary, read what she felt for you? what she wanted to tell you? how everyday she longed for your one look only?'' Taehyung said sarcastically and turned around to run to his room leaving Jungkook standing in his office with a whole tornado of feelings and thoughts inside him.
To let him fight with himself.
To let him shed the tears Taehyung always wanted to see in his eyes.
What Taehyung couldn't do deliberately, he did it unknowingly.
He made Jungkook sit on his knees and cry for forgiveness....even when none of it was his fault.
______________
So, what you think will happen next?
What will Jungkook do? and what will be Taehyung's next step because as he said, he can't kill the ravenette....and it was the only reason he was living on that Island.
Anyways....Don't forget to Vote.
