[ FLASHBACK ]239.

“Jung—hey, we—‘ve been kissing for—hours now...mhm...”

Tae said in between their kisses. Its true tho, they’ve been cuddling and kissing for how long? Neither them knew.

Maybe, they just really longed for each other.

“Then should we have a talk?” Jungkook asked.—

Jungkook sat on his chair desk, while Tae is still sitting on the side of the desk.

The room was dark, since they chose not to turn on the light. The only thing that serves as one was the shine of the moon.

“What should we talk abt?”

“Why did u not speak about the case?”[ ❗️WARNING❗️]

The next few chapters do not intend anything against the said country. Its all fictional.—

Jungkook saw that coming, he knew he was gonna ask. “I can’t tell you everything yet,”

“They killed Mr. Han because he found out all the illegal firearms, drugs, and even transactions with the US.”

Tae frowned at the country. “US?”—

“He tried to expose them but he ended up to death. Sorry to say but your father was the one who ordered it.”

Tae felt his blood rush up to his head. He felt so angry, so so angry to the point that he can’t clench his fists more.—

“They set me up to mislead the case on the real suspect. And your father didn’t want me to guard you anymore, so he just decided to set me off like that.”

Tae breathe in. He needs to calm himself. “We should tell the police! Or the court! I don’t care if he’s my father—“—

“No, we can’t...yet.” Jungkook held his hand to calm him down, and luckily, he did.

“Why not?”

“He’s a General. He has many connections more than you thought.

As usual, its always like that. Nothing new, people always choose money rather than truth.

How awful.—

“But If not now, then when? You say he has many connections, then how are we going to get him behind the bars?”

“If he has strong connections in the politics, then otherwise is with the people.”

Tae went silent for a second, trying to process what Jungkook has just said.—

“You mean to say, we will let the people realize what’s happening?” Jungkook nodded.

People might seem gullible, but they’re all smart. They will knew if they’re being abused. And they’ll not hesitate to fight against it.

Citizens are more powerful than the government.—

If only the citizens would be brave enough to speak, then anything can be conquered.

Tae nodded, he got it already. But there are questions in his head.

“Why did you faked your engagement with Lisa?” He asked. He knew it was fake, but his heart is still sullen.—

“And you did not answer my previous question. Why did you not speak against the case?” He asked once again.

“I explained it all. If I spoke against it, they’ll be caught in the wrong time. And everything will get worse.”

Tae nodded, “And my other question?”—

Jungkook let out a shaky breathe, he doesn’t know if he should say it today. But if not now, then when?

“About that,” he stood up, and held his hand tight onto his heart like he’s scared of his reaction.

“We’re getting married next month.”—

Tae did not move even a finger, he’s just steady.

“Hyung, the marriage is fake. We’re just doing that for something important. Please, don’t be mad.”

Tae knew it was fake, even though he didn’t know the reason. But his heart still ached.

He flashed a smile.—

“I know. I’m not mad. I understand.” He said and held back Jungkook’s hand.

Jungkook knew he’s not fine with it — even him. But this is the only way to save everything.

“After our wedding, we’ll fly right to the US to proceed to our plan. But that won’t be long.”—

“Why can’t you just buy a ticket and fly all the way to US?”

Jungkook shook his head. “I’m a Captain, an authority. All my flights and transactions are recorded in papers. If I suddenly fly away like that, they’ll question me.”—

Tae felt a bit sad, and worried. He doesn’t know whats gonna happen next. And he doesn’t want to know.

What if he already changed the history, and his death would not be the same anymore?

What if it’ll be earlier, or late? Or just the same again?

Or can he just not die?
—

Jungkook noticed his worrying face and kissed the back of his hand. It caught Tae’s attention and gave him an assuring look.

“Nothing bad will happen. I’ll come back for you, I promise.”

Atleast, he had an assurance. “Promise?”

Jungkook smiled. “Promise.”
