32 | Kim Taehyung

A week had passed, I would always visit Taehyung in the hospital, even if it meant skipping school and/or meals, I didn't want to miss the day he would regain his consciousness, the only good thing that happened during the Daegu thing was me getting my memory back. I'm a bit scared by what dad can do to me, Jimin, and Taehyung if he found out about what happened

While waiting for Taehyung to wake up, the boys were incredibly comforting, they would stay with me during their free time, Hoseok and I did some catching up, we were a bit close back then, and he helped me and Taehyung hide our relationship, so we both owe him a lot. Jungkook would always find a way for me to get my attention away from Taehyung and his not-so-good state

The six boys would always tell me to focus on my studies or at least rest, but of course, me being the stubborn person that I am, chose to stay at Taehyung's hospital room and only go out when I need to use the comfort room or if someone else is calling me. It's been a week since the Daegu thing, I've fully recovered, as well as everyone else, I heard that Chaerin and Juhyeon have been thrown into prison, hopefully they won't escape, because I think that I already have enough trouble for a lifetime

I yawned and glanced at the clock, it was almost time for me to go home, as much as I didn't want to, Jimin begged me to come with him, first to prison because the police told him that Chaerin would like to say something to me, second, to Busan, to, well, finish some family business, I know that I'm still a Park but the fact that my own father despises me is really sad for my part. I stood up and exited Taehyung's room, heading to the main exit of the Hospital, where Jimin was waiting for me in his black hoodie and jeans, it seems like he was texting someone, I didn't want to interrupt so I waited until he was done, when he placed his phone in his pocket, that's when I walked up to him

"You look like someone who just woke up" he mentioned and chuckled a bit which made me pout "Tch, let's just go already or I won't go to Busan with you" I warned and pushed him, we both walked to the city's main prison, once we entered, one of the policemen brought us to the area wherein you can speak to the prisoners, me and my big brother took a seat in the lounge-looking area, and after a few minutes, the police brought Chaerin to our area and made her seat across us "You better not say something stupid, besides, I only agreed to this because you said that you and my sister were once friends" Jimin told Chaerin seriously, who just looked at the floor

"I meant every word that I said in our call, Jimin" she sighed and looked at me, I had an emotionless expression on my face while hers was filled with sadness "Look, Y/N I'm very sorry, I know you never did anything bad to me when we were in Busan, jealousy took over me, people always loved you since you were the best, I mean, you even got the heart of my number one crush! It's my fault anyways, I was the one who introduced the two of you to eachother" She frowned, I didn't say a word, what was I supposed to say? "I've been a stupid and obsessed bitch, I know that all of you can't forgive me for what I've done and I'm okay with that" Chaerin added, I nodded "I don't like holding grudges, I forgive you Chaerin" I sort-of smiled at her, the policeman said that the conversation time was up, as they got Chaerin and lead her to her prison cell, I looked at Jimin, he was looking at a different direction so I followed his gaze and ended up looking at my other big brother, Juhyeon, when he saw me, he sent a disgusted look

When will he ever learn to see me as his sister? I felt Jimin grabbed my arm, and we both instantly left the building, wait, Busan is our next stop right? So are we going to take a bus or will he use a car? I just want this whole thing to be fast. We walked to our house and saw Namjoon waiting for us "Took you two long enough, Jin's been ranting the whole time, Jimin raised an eyebrow "Why?" "His 'perfect dish' for the trip wasn't cooked properly and he puts the blame on me" Namjoon rolled his eyes, I laughed, it's a cute thing to get annoyed at

Jin came out of the house with a big bowl in his hands, he secured it well and placed it on the back of the car, we entered the car and our roadtrip to Busan just started "Isn't Jungkook coming? He'd surely want to see his family or hometown at least" I asked

"He didn't have any good memories in Busan either, his parents are always busy and he was stuck with us the whole time, remember Y/N, the seven of us have always been friends since childhood, you just didn't notice the guys because you were an insider, remember? We would usually stay at an apartment that his family owns, when we aren't there with him, he's just alone, so I don't think it's a good idea" Jimin explained which made me disappointed, well it looks like I won't have some fun in Busan

Like any normal person would do, I plugged my earphones on my phone and played some music, I didn't understand anything Jin was saying to Namjoon and Jimin so I didn't even try to engage a conversation with them, what to do when you're completely bored? Recall your life and some events that happened. I realized that I'm quieter nowadays, well, eversince I got my memory back, was it a good or bad thing? I guess everyone's been waiting for it to come back so let's say that it's good

I guess I'm just worried, and paranoid, maybe once Taehyung wakes up, everything will be back to normal, I just hope the bullet didn't do any other damages, because at this point, I don't know what calm is anymore. I checked the time and we've been inside the car for a few hours now, do I really think that slowly? I guess I should stop now, I removed my earphones and yawned, one reason why I wanted Jungkook to be here with us is because I don't get bored easily when he's around, we're almost the same age so it's easy to understand why he's the guy I'm closest to, especially since he was my body guard back at Seoul, I felt myself getting sleepy so I closed my eyes, I really needed some rest

.....

"Y/N wake up!! We're here! Oh and We'll drop you and Chim here, me and Joonie will eat the mall, we'll pick you up whenever you're done" Jin, who was filled with glee, announced, causing me to continuously open my eyes, did I dream about something? Meh I don't remember, and how long had I slept? I'm too lazy to ask so I'll keep my mouth shut, oh wait, I have to ask… "Where are we?" I yawned, well it's obvious that we're at Busan, but the building we stopped in front of isn't familiar

Jin bit his lip as if he didn't know if he should answer or not, uhm, what's the big deal? "This is the new location of Park Industries" Jimin answered, he was using his normal tone, he usually uses that whenever he's serious, and that's a rare thing. The two in front remained silent, I was never used to awkward silence moments so I coughed to get their attention, fortunately, their heads turned to my direction "So, I guess it's time for us to go now, see you later Namjoon and Jin!" I said in a hurry and pulled Jimin out of the car, and they left once we got done

I watched them and was about to walk inside the building, even if I didn't know why we were here in the first place, suddenly, I felt my brother grab my arm, stopping me from what I was doing "Are you sure you can go in there? You know, uh, Mr Park, he doesn't like us one bit, besides, who knows what I might say" I looked at him but he was looking at the top of the building, that must be dad's office

"I don't care, I need mom to know that I'm okay, and dad, oh come on, he's still our father, look, I won't say anything stupid in front of them, and if dad says something horrible to me, I won't hesitate to defend myself, I'm freaking twenty Jimin" I glared at him when he was supposed to disagree with my idea, too bad, I'm back and healthy, besides, we're already here, it'd be stupid if we would backout

Apparently, he lied about my age when I had amnesia, and I can't believe that I repeated highschool! But what bothers me the most is why Chaerin did so too, was it part of their plan? I think Taehyung also found something suspicious about that during the first day of school…

When we went inside, no one bothered to ask who we were and why we were here, I'm sure that every single worker here knew Jimin, I'm not sure if they knew me though, then gain, everyone looked like they had a heart attack when they saw me, did I turn into a ghost all of a sudden? Besides, I don't remember going inside Park Industries when I was young, so it's impossible that they knew what I looked like, weird

I guess that I was too preoccupied by what I was thinking to the point that I didn't even notice that we were already in front of Dad's office, seriously! Did time suddenly flew by fast?! "Are you sure that you want to go in?" Jimin asked once again I gave him a do-you-actually-think-that-I'd-back-out-now? Look, "Okay okay" He groaned, welp, goodluck to the both of us

Jimin opened the door slowly, and I tried my best to stop myself from screaming, what the heck?! Does mom know about this?! Why is dad making out with a random woman?! My eyes quickly widened, Jimin loves and cares for mom much more than I do! I glanced at him and saw him clenching his fist, this is not a good sign "You bastard!" He roared, which made me froze, I've never seen nor heard him like that before

Dad and his mistress stopped in an instant, the woman who was once on top of him, intentionally fell to the floor and tried to escape the scene, as she crawled towards us, I took the chance and grabbed her hair, pulling it harshly so that she couldn't leave "Where do you think you're going?" I gave her a deadly glare, she just whimpered

"What are you two doing here? And I thought you were dead?" It was like he was shocked when he saw me, uhuh, confirmed, I'm a ghost now, boo! "I can't believe that you can be THAT insensitive towards your own daughter" Jimin scoffed "And who's this? Another toy? Come on! You've been doing this for years! I can't believe that mom still loves you!"

"Shut up! I thought that I made it clear that I don't want to see you two nor hear your names? What the fuck do you want now? Isn't stealing the money I worked hard for enough?"

"For your information, DAD, Jimin didn't steal it because you technically gave it to him! Being the heir of this family and all! Whether you like or not, our birth certificate indicates that we're part of this messed up family! If you knew basic science and maybe the law, then you wouldn't ask such thing" I snapped, it's one thing to insult a person, but blaming them for something they didn't do is a big crime in my book!

"I didn't ask for your opinion you piece of shit! Oh and weren't you informed that Juhyeon is the new heir? You really are stupid" He laughed, ugh, I doing my best to be respectful but I just can't with him!

"How can a criminal become the heir of an internationally known company?" I asked which made him stop, and Dad looked at me as if I didn't know what I was saying "Don't you know? He tried to kill Jimin but I ended up in his place, he even hired several men to harass me on two occasions, and an innocent life is at stake because of him!" I released my anger at the last part, Dad seemed like he didn't care, his face was emotionless, so what? Does he think that I'm lying? "You know dad, I wouldn't mind if I released an official statement about what happened, I saw a few posters around here indicating that I'm really dead, it's too big of a lie, what would the people think if their beloved CEO doesn't even care about his own family and children? I mean, you let Juhyeon be thrown into prison, who knows how fast this place will go down" I said in a cool manner "And she can be a good addition to the issue" I pointed to the woman whose hair I was holding since the start of this conversation

"You wouldn't dare!" He fumed and walked towards me, I won't deny that I got nervous when he was about to hit me, but luckily, Jimin punched him before he could do anything "Hurt Y/N and I will do everything in my power to bring this company down!" All of a sudden, the door opened, it was mom! She looked stressed, but when she saw us, her face lit up, she ran towards me and Jimin and hugged the two of us tightly, she noticed that I was holding a half-naked woman and sent a questioning look, Dad gulped

"Oh her? We caught her having some fun with dad, right?"

"Yes! I needed money okay?! He offered! Please let me go!" She cried, since I still had some pity left in me, I let go of her hair and she ran away from the room in an instant, good thing too, that was the worst hair texture that I've ever encountered, just saying "J-Jaeeun, I can explain-"

"Enough! You've done that for multiple times already! Where's the man I used to love? The one who never cared about money! The one who would take care of his children and love them?! What happened to you?!" Mom cried in frustration, Seeing this makes me feel like all of this was my fault

"He never existed…" Dad muttered but I'm very sure that we all heard it "Y/N, Jimin, I'm sorry that you have to see that" Mom sniffed

"You don't have to apologize mom, we just came by to let you two know the truth, I really miss you though" He hugged her, I didn't know why but I envy the two, I wish I knew who my biological mother was, but if she really wanted to meet me, then she would've done so already

They pulled away from eachother and mom fixed herself, before looking at dad in the eye "I'll be filing a divorce sooner or later, I can't keep up with this anymore, it's too much, and the children need me more" She told him seriously and sent us a true yet sad smile before leaving the room, dad just fell to his knees, I'm guessing that he loves mom, but, if he did, he wouldn't think of cheating

"Get out…" He ordered, Jimin and I just stared at him, so this is how our conversation ends? "I said get out!!" He yelled, and both of us exited his office, and the building immediately, when we reached the ground floor, Jimin called Jin and Namjoon to pick us up, after a few minutes of waiting, they finally arrived with tons of food inside the car, The three asked me if I wanted to stay in Busan a little longer but I guess I'll just go around when all of us is complete, it's way better that way

So, we travelled back to Seoul, same routine, but we had a very long story telling, Jin first told us about his date with Namjoon, it was nothing extraordinary, same eating at a restaurant and having some fun windowshopping, I remembered the times when me and Taehyung would secretly date, I suddenly lost the mood to listen to his story, none of them noticed though, and that's a good thing right?

When Jin ended his story, he instantly asked me and Jimin about what happened inside the building, I did most of it because Jin didn't like the way Jimin told everything, it wasn't 'detailed enough' so I had to say everything from when we entered the building to dad screaming at us, I laughed when Namjoon admired my remark towards my father, and did I mention that I never talked like that to an adult? Despite my messed up family history, I still learnt to grow up with good manners

Once again, when I couldn't relate to the topic, I slept during the whole trip, I really didn't want to talk much today, honestly, I wasn't affected that much, well, I was bothered when Dad gave me the impression that everything was all better when he thought that I was dead, but other than that, I'm perfectly normal, I'm still trying to accept the fact that he and Juhyeon will never believe that I'm part of the family

Namjoon was the next one to wake me up when we arrived in Seoul, specifically, the hospital Taehyung and Jungkook was in, I was the first to get out of the car and enter the hospital, I went to Jungkook's room first, his arm is perfectly fine now but he still needs to give it a check up since the chair left some small damage, when I entered his room, he wasn't there, he must be exercising his arm, I'll check up on him later then. Next, I quickly rushed towards Taehyung's room, like I said, I must be there by the time he wakes up because it's my fault why he's in that particular situation in the first place

I was just outside his room, with high hopes that he'll wake up tonight, I don't think that I can wait any longer, I slowly reached the doorknob and opened the door, seeing the same old Taehyung who was unconscious, I sighed, it's too long for someone who just got hit by a bullet right? So does that mean his health is really in danger? Ugh I don't know anymore

I walked towards my usual spot near his bed and sat down, I shouldn't cry, he'll wake up soon, and I guess he would hurt more if he knew that I would always cry whenever I see him at this state, but for some reason, I didn't feel like crying, I don't know why, am I still normal? I yawned and looked around for something to do, I stood up and walked to the couch but my foot hit something and I ended up falling to the ground, ugh! I hate how clumsy I am!

"Ugh, whoever that is, keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!" My heart stopped when I heard that familiar voice, that voice that I was longing to hear ever since I woke up inside this very hospital, the voice of… "Taehyung?!" I jumped, and ran towards his side

"Oh, mission failed" Huh? What did he mean by that? Am I in the right room?

"What?" I asked him but his eyes were closed, was I hallucinating? I guess I need more sleep, I rubbed my eyes, but then I felt someone hold my had "SURPRISE!!!!" "Aghhhh!!!!' I attacked whoever or whatever was in front of me, of course my eyes were closed so I didn't know what kind of thing scared me "Ow! Hey! Is this how you treat a patient?!" Wait, so my brain wasn't making things up? I opened my eyes and saw Taehyung rubbing his head

"Ugh, did your amnesia change you all of a sudden?" He groaned "Sorry…" But wait, he doesn't know that I had amnesia, does that mean…? "Ow! Why did you hit me again?!" "Explain to me, right now" I told him with my bossy tone, I am super confused right now!

"Okay, I woke up a few hours ago, Hoseok and Jungkook came in, telling me about what happened after they found us at the rooftop, your state and whereabouts, I'm glad that you got your memory back but why the heck are you ditching school just because of me?!" Oh right, he's a teacher, that completely slipped my mind "And just so you know, it's not about me being a teacher, you weren't the type of person who would ditch school!" He scolded, tsk, why is he acting all parent-ish all of a sudden?

"Okay SORRY Mr Kim Taehyung, I just wanted to see you wake up, what's wrong with that? And What did you mean by 'Mission Failed'? If you don't explain then I'll drop out" I crossed my arms, his eyes widened as if he didn't expect that I would ever use those words "I wanted to prank you okay? So I waited and closed my eyes to I don't know? Scare you or something, but I eventually slept and you just made a noise causing me to ruin my own plan!" He pouted

"Well you scared me!" I scoffed "Stupid" I added "Don't blame me if your brain gets any other problems, that was payback for what you did" Who in their right mind- Ugh! I almost got a heart attack! Jeez! And how did Taehyung even came up with that idea? Wait, Taehyung, wake up, why is my mind processing this just now?! "Taehyung…" I said in realization and faced him

"Yes?"

"You're awake!!!!" I happily shrieked and hugged him, he hugged me back and we remained in our position for a few minutes, I was the first to pull away "You don't know how long I've waited for this" I sighed in relief, oh wait, I forgot something "Uhm, sorry" He looked puzzled by what I said

"If it weren't for me then you wouldn't be in this hospital for weeks, and no one wouldn't have a problem to deal with" I explained, I felt him move closer to me "It's not your fault, Chaerin's just, how do I say it? Out of her mind? You can't stop people like her and Juhyeon from doing who knows what, but I know that Chaerin really sees you as a friend, she was just blinded by her obsessive thing for me, Juhyeon, I'm not so sure about why he did such a thing" He tried to comfort me "Are you really Y/N? She never blames herself and she's strong, if she did change though, I hope she knows that there are people that witnessed who she really is and loves her no matter what"

I smiled, Taehyung was always the best at that, no wonder why he got the hearts of many, I'm just glad that he's okay now, and that there's one less problem to worry about, "Y/N, you know that I'm one of them right?" Taehyung asked, what? When? Why? Who? "I'm one of those who love you no matter what, actually I think I'm number one" he chuckled

"I disagree, I think it's Jimin" He faked a sad look "You're replacing me already?" He pouted, I smiled, he was too cute, it's like he wasn't even in a coma "Nah, I just learnt that a brother's love is the greatest of them all"

"I like how you taught your stubborn mind and heart that Jimin is actually someone good" I shrugged "He rarely shows his good side, but when he does, he'll be the best person ever, he might be even nicer than me" I laughed at the thought and looked back at Taehyung "You should rest more so that you can go home tomorrow"

"You too, you came back from a trip! Who knows how tiring that must be"

"I slept during the trip" I pouted

"Still"

"Ugh fine, but I'll sleep at the couch okay?" He nodded and I walked carefully towards the couch, I am not slipping in front of him! I know how much he'll laugh if he sees such a thing, once I was able to lay down, I smiled at him "Goodnight"

"Sweet dreams" Finally! Everything can go back to normal starting tomorrow, and I guess Taehyung's right, I really need to rest
