Chapter-14
Teases And The Truth

"Mrs.kim, I want to have a shower. I didn't have a shower last night even though I was covered with blood." I huffed out a sigh. "How can you, Taehyung? It will hurt a lot.", I said. "My legs are fine. They don't have any kind of injury." I tried to find some sense in his words, but I couldn't.

"No." He stared at me, "You are denying me, lady. Remember that." I placed my hands on my hips, staring back into his dark brown orbs. He stared in my eyes, back. Though, it was of no use. I will not let him shower. I chuckled when he shivered in cold. "You are even shivering in cold." "It is because I don't have my shirt on." He defended.

"Fine, go on." I did let him go. But it doesn't mean I gave up so easily. I know he will return whimpering in pain. I stared at his broad back swaying side to side. "Why are men like this? Even Jungkook left- saying that he is fine and it will be a problem in their workplace if none of them would be there." I plopped on the bed. "It is so hard."

But something was their that kept up my happiness. The Painting for the passageway. It has been a week from the first day. And the painting has came to an end. And hopefully, I meet his expectations.

I raised up from the soft covers and made my way to the white wooden door. Everything was messed up, the paints were lying here and there, the brushes were settled in a brush stand, but it was covered with colours. The large canvas situated in the front.

I picked up one of the brush from the container, dipping it into the white paint. I walked over to the painted canvas, giving a final touch of glow to the lady. No doubt I made it pretty. I just wanted to meet Taehyung's expectations, nothing mattered to me more.

"Y/n?" I immediately turned around and covered the canvas. "Y-Yes?" He smiled at me. "May I see it-" "No!", I said. "You can see it, once it is ready.", I added. "Fine, just treat my cuts." I looked at his bare torso. Cuts all over. I felt so helpless when I saw those deep cuts. They were bleeding.

"Okay." I dropped the paint brush and walked out of the room. Following him to the bedroom, I looked at his damp back. He dropped on the bed while I walked over to the black shelf, picking up the huge white box.

"Is it heavy?", he asked. "No." The box was so big, that anyone would think it was heavy. But no, it wasn't. I wiped off the blood with the cotton. He clenched his eyes close. Of course, it was burning. "You feel the pain. Yet you still don't try to avoid these things.", I said. "I cannot avoid them, it is my work." "Why can't you leave this work?" He chuckled, "Do you think it is easy? After making many people my enemies through this work, I can leave this work?" It was a fact.

"Why did you even join it at first?" "It is my family, Y/n. It is something we are famous for. If I didn't do it, I may be called a coward.", he chuckled. "If keeping your health first makes you a coward, then why fear the society?" He looked into my eyes. "You're too pure to be my wife." I could see the clear sincerety in his eyes. He held out for my arms, clenching onto them. "Why did you agree to marry a monster like me?"

Suddenly, I lost my ability to speak. I pressed the damp cotton of the antiseptic on his cut, yet my eyes didn't leave his. "You're not a monster." "You say so, just because I am someone different for you. Ask Jungkook, he knows what I am." He finally looked away from my eyes, lowering his gaze to his lap. "Jungkook told me that you are a sweet gentleman, who knows what to do when his wife is facing some problems." I recalled those words Jungkook said when we used to hangout. Taehyung is a gentleman, Taehyung never misbehaves, Taehyung is a goof ball, Taehyung is someone you see rarely.

Taehyung is not the V, and V can never be Taehyung. This line, it took me a while to understand what it means. And now, I guess I understood it. Taehyung is an angel. V is a devil. An angel can never be a devil, and a devil can never be an angel.

"Jungkook is so nice. He covers the truth just for your happiness." "It not a lie, it is the truth, Taehyung. You are a husband for me. The husband every woman needs." I continued to treat the cuts. "And..... You're the wife every man demand for." He smiled at me, pinching my cheeks once again. "Your cheeks look worth pinching." He gave me a goofy smile. My lips curved up into a poker smile.

"You're the first woman to actually touch my body after my mom.", he said. "Make sure I am the last one too." I muttered under my breath. "Did you say something?" My heart was about to pop out of my chest at the moment. "N-No." He gave me a cheeky smile. "Unfortunately, I heard something.", he cocked his eyebrows up at me. I felt sweat forming on my forehead. "Clearly.", he added. That was it, I snapped my gaze at him, he was laughing at me.

"Of course, you'll be the last lady to touch me, my lady." He grinned widely at me, before pulling me into a quick bear hug. "Not the least, I want the same.", he whispered, swiftly. "Y-Yes." He pulled away. "I'm waiting for the day.", he clenched onto my shoulders. "Which day?", I frowned. "The day the painting will be hung high in the passage." I puffed my chest out and nodded.

"And, now that you're done with treating these cuts. Can you please hand me the tablet from that shelf?" I nodded, and strolled to the shelf. "There are a lot of tablets.", I said. "Give me any one of them." "Why are there five?" "No one knows when they will be empty.", he shrugged. Oh god, my man has five of the same tablets, why- because he takes them often.

I shook my head and handed him one of them. He picked up the glass of water from the table situated beside the bed. I watched him gulp down the water. Afterwards, I pulled out a shirt from his wardrobe. Helping him put it on, I started packing up the stuff kept on the mattress. As I kept the stuff back at its place, I looked forward to pick up the empty glass from the table.

I left the glass, averting my gaze to his fingers that wrapped around my wrist. He pulled me towards him, and I dropped on the soft mattress. I furrowed my eyebrows, unknown of the fact that my husband is upto something.

I watched him lean close to me, while pulling me towards him. "Wh-What-" He placed his finger on my lips, denying me from uttering another word. His hands travelled from my wrist to my waist, slowly. His lips curved up into a cheesy smile.

I stared into his eyes. He didn't dare to avert his gaze away from my eyes. "This is dangerous.", I panted. "Not more than you." I felt my stomach flipping and my heart- it was beating so fast, probably skipping some beats.

I tried pulling myself away from the temptation, but he didn't let me move. He tighten his grip around me, pulling me closer. Playing with me, it is what he loves doing. And I seriously don't want to play along. "You're hurt.", I defended. "So? It won't stop me from taking a step closer to you."

As if I had a choice. I grabbed his cheeks, positioning his face to look in my eyes. He arched his eyebrows at me. I stared in his eyes with intensity, trying to tell him I don't want him to do this through my eyes. "Just pull me close, and we will be done.", yet here, he left another flirt. I didn't dare to move neither did he.

"Let's just not do this." "Listen to me, Y/n. I work a lot. Now that I am free, and have some time to spend with you, why don't you want something to happen between us? After all, we're married to each other." Wasn't he the one who said he shouldn't expect much from this marriage?

But if I say, he does try a lot, just to win my heart. Yet, I give no efforts. It is just I have no idea about theses things. I did date some boys during my university, but still, these physical interactions weren't my thing.

My eyes grew wide for a second, when he smashed his lips onto mine. But as it happens, my eyes closed and he started moving his lips softly onto mine. It was all fine, I didn't shake with that unknown feeling growing in my stomach. Inspite, it was my stomach tingling with some butterflies.

I wrapped my hands around him, unknowingly pulling him closer than we were. I heard the loud footsteps from the passage, but I was not in my mind to react to it. "Oh, god-my holy eyes!" I heard the familiar honey voice gasp and scream aloud. We pulled away as soon as we could. I turned around, finding Jungkook standing beyond the door frame and blocking his view with his palms.

"Oh, god! At least, you should have closed the door!" He removed his palms from his face and shouted at us. I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment. "It's my house. So, it's my choice, whether I open the door wide or close the door shut." Jungkook rolled his eyes at Taehyung's words.

"Your cheeks look just like a tomato." Pointing his finger at me, Jungkook giggles. "Shut up, you-" "Calm down, Y/n.", Taehyung held my shoulder, telling me to calm down. I placed the pillow back at its place. "Why are you here?" Taehyung passes a grated look to Jungkook, who ignores it. "Mom is not home. Dad is- as usual, out for his work. So there was no one at home.", said Jungkook. "So?", Taehyung spatted. "So what? I came here.", Jungkook huffed. "You left long ago. Why are you coming now? Were you asking about mom and dad from the trees around?" Jungkook laughed at my words.

"Of course, not. I was getting myself new clothes. See." Jungkook twirled around, only to receive death stares from us. "Get out of my house." Taehyung threw a pillow at Jungkook. But the athlete Jungkook is, he dodged it just like he dodges the bullets. "Nice try. Never try again.", Jungkook sassed. I rushed up from the bed, following Jungkook, who just ran away- seeing me get up from the bed.

Unlucky him, the passageway came to an end and he was stuck there. I bragged to him a lot, not forgetting to pull his dear ears......
