It hurts to keep a light on for nobody



7 years ago~~~
Taehyung POV:

After that night~

I woke up with a great headache and saw it was past 11 am. I groaned in pain and grabbed my head so hard so that it makes the pain lessen but it won't help.

Of course, after drinking Bacardi 151 a whole bottle which idiot would be sane.

That alcohol was so strong for me and even the fastest to get drunk. I'm never drinking that shit...I'll die. This headache is killing me already.

What I realized later is, I am naked and my clothes were on the floor of the bedroom I'm pretty much familiar with and the room is so messed up and for some reason, my body hurts, especially with my head and a part of my body hurts too and IDK why...

"What the....what happens--"

I look around and tried to find something or someone. I can't call Albert or Mrs. Ann right now. There were a lot of things that suddenly started to roam around my head. I can't anticipate everything so I took a long breath and started to think about what I did last night and where I was last night.

I remember I had a get-together with my friends about my divorce plan and all. But it got ruined after I met Heejin there. It was a coincidental and unfortunate meet for me. I didn't want to face her anymore.

That woman gave me false hopes, she told me that she will come back to me but she didn't, she could have told me everything but she didn't. She proved that there was no trust in our love nor any faith left. I was so blindly in love with her that I was risking everything in my life...to make her happy I didn't go to the navy force.

She'd always tell me how her father and brother are scheming about her breaking up with me just because I still couldn't start earning my own money and instead kept on relying on my father and grandad. I told her to once I get into the force everything will go smoothly but I also couldn't risk it so I had to give up on my dream and I started to take care of my family business. I'm not a business student so it took me a year to understand everything.

And then when I was able to earn enough money I bought her that mansion but in return I got betrayal. She could have told me for once that she loved rich guys and money. I didn't want to believe her brother's words but after witnessing it all I couldn't help.

Well back to what happened last night, she approached me and started spouting nonsense. I got so angry that I was about to throw a trauma but after seeing her little daughter and husband I turned around and walked out of the restaurant. No matter what that child shouldn't see something horrible which will scare her.

I called Jimin saying I'll be in our usual bar thank goodness he didn't say anything and came to the bar with others. I didn't say anything to them about meeting Heejin and all. I ordered the strongest alcohol in the bar and the bartender gave me Bacardi...I drank the whole bottle bit by bit.

I remember spouting nonsense about what I did for a year after getting married to Y/n.

There was a time when I was at Busan at a party. I drank the whole night and so after coming back to my hotel room I unknowingly gave Heejin a call.

She picked up and kept saying sorry. I asked her if she wanted me back or dead. I don't understand why the hell I said that!!! She sure understood that I was drunk but she still said that she can come back to my life if I wanted her.

She said after giving birth...6 months later she'll come back to me. I thought she lied so the next morning to make sure I called her again and she promised me. I was overwhelmed with joy hearing that.

But it was all a lie after all. I tried everything to get rid of Y/n. I was so focused on getting a divorce from her and getting back Heejin that I forgot I was hurting that innocent soul who didn't deserve any of this.

8 months went by and Heejin never contacted me. 10 months later I tried to call her and she changed her number. Later 1 week, I got a letter from her saying she couldn't turn back to me. She couldn't leave her only child, she falls in love with that guy. I couldn't bear this, how could I? She keeps on giving me hope and in the end, I get back a broken heart, and for what reason?

And like this 1 year passed and I didn't realize that it was soon my marriage anniversary....apparently I didn't even bother to remember it as this whole marriage was bullshit for me. But because of my family, I had to celebrate my first marriage anniversary grandly.

It was since that night, I started to realize that since our wedding night she never demanded anything from me. She obeyed me, she did everything to show my family that we are happy together when we are actually not, she is not happy with me.

I'm surprised by her patience and confidence over this marriage. I'm surprised despite being insulted so many times she beards it all and hoped that one day I'll turn around and embrace her. I'm surprised that I was blind for so long, I'm surprised that I've been so stupid to torture such a woman.

It took me a whole year to decide finally to give her the happiness she deserves. But I thought of ending our failed marriage in a bit different way which actually went wrong. I just planned to divorce her and then a week later I'll propose to her with a surprise. It's not like I fell in love with her at that time. But I wanted to fall in love with such a woman. By then I started to forget everything related to Heejin.

This whole I just stopped treating her badly instead I avoided her. I wanted to get close to her but there were things I still wasn't satisfied with, which is my own professional life. I had to stand this company even higher. I had to make my father and grandad trust me with the company.

I gave up on my dream for someone who didn't care about my own feelings. I even lost time and now my hands are full with works I'm so unfamiliar with. I just become the president of this company and loads of work kept building and burdening me on my shoulders. This actually helped Me forget about Heejin pretty much.

So for the whole year from afar, I keep my eyes on Y/n. And did all my work. And after a year I got my grand award I've been working my ass off for. Now I can finally think about my marriage life in peace for a while.

I've misunderstood that poor woman. I've mistreated her...now it's time to give her what she deserves.

But who the fuck would have known something like this is going to happen.

So after I got drunk I remember spouting nonsense and Jungkook dropped me off at my house. I remember stumbling on my way back to my room...so how in the world did I end up in here? Normally I'd sleep in the guest room or in the living room...what the hell happened last night?

Why in the world I'm naked? Furthermore, I can't see Y/n, and it's almost been an hour I'm seating on the bed and trying so hard to think back to what happened?

"Geez!! Let's just go to shower and then I'll ask her what happened last night?"

As I was about to climb down my bed I spotted a little bit of blood on the sheets. I was stunned, "Whoa!!! Wtf!!!"

Who's blood it is? Who the hell got hurt? I checked my body parts but there was no scar or any scratch. I immediately grabbed my clothes and went to take a shower.

After 10 minutes I came out dressing up and go downstairs while yelling her name. But unfortunately, there was no response.

What I didn't notice was...the cupboards were empty...and there was no presence of hers in this whole house.

Later I ask Mrs. Ann if she knew where she is and what happened last night. She said that she didn't see her this whole morning and thought she'd be still sleeping. And more importantly, Mrs. Ann was surprised to see me.

I told her that I came back home late last night and then I don't remember anything. Then suddenly she said that this morning she found the main door unlocked which is quite suspicious. Then I remember that Y/n isn't home...and the whole room is in a mess. Mrs. Ann or Albert no one knows where she is or if she's still sleeping.

I went upstairs to check if she left any notes. I checked the whole room but there was none. And that's when I noticed the cupboard empty. There weren't any clothes left apart from the ones I gave her for family parties. And some other kinds of stuff.

"Did she left the house?" I thought but felt relaxed because even if she left she'd be going to her father's old house or maybe my family. So I just went to the court to fill the divorce papers where I actually put a condition.

In our marriage just so my family doesn't bother me I had to put a divorce condition to annoy my parents which are...if I ask for divorce within 3 years Y/n has to give up all the property she has. And I need to remove this dang condition and that is why I took so long to submit the papers. And thank goodness that without divorce I was able to remove such a condition and made another paper where I put the condition...if one of us ever asked for divorce half of my own property will go to her name...it doesn't matter who asks. She'll be the owner in the last.

After that, for a month I didn't bother to look for it as none of my family members called me. I think they are too happy to have her.

So one day Mrs. Ann suddenly told Me about that night when my father and grandad came to meet y/n and how she was upset about everything. I didn't tell anyone about my plans yet. And hearing them all I was so surprised that I went to my father's mansion. And that's when everything shattered in front of me.

I started to look for her. I went to her aunts and other relatives I know but they said Y/n never contacted them. And I remember that one aunt who was the guardian of Y/n on the day of our wedding. I went to her and all she said is...where ever Y/n is...she's happy. And I shouldn't meddle in anymore. I've ruined her life...and now I should live my own happy life. I begged her for months to tell me but she wouldn't utter a word about her.

One day she finally said that She doesn't know where Y/n went. Or with whom she's living but one night Y/n called...it was 4 months ago before I came to her, Y/n said that she living a comfortable life and no one should worry about her nor look for her. And then I got no more information about her.

Like this 2 years passed and I stopped looking for her. I'm sure something happened that night which forced her to take this step. I'm sure she misunderstood everything, well ofc I was doing something absurd and moreover everything was pressure for her.

During this time a lot of things happened. My father and grandad cut all ties with me. My father the day he heard about Y/n going missing came to this mansion and beat the shit out of me.

Of course, this man promised his dead friend that he'll take good care of his precious daughter. But what my father forgot that...I was also suffering from many things he couldn't imagine. And just simply cut all ties with me. He didn't even bother talking out with me about my problems.

But I couldn't just think of letting him do that right? I tried my best to ask for forgiveness but none of them won't let me. My siblings pitied me but they were also disappointed with me about how I treated their favorite sister-in-law.

I swallow all those things thinking this is my punishment for dragging an innocent bird in a battle she shouldn't have to be a part of. She deserved freedom and she got that.

And just so you know as the condition was got changed I never submitted the actual divorce papers and instead keep them in my drawer. Why would I divorce her when the actual problem was solved? And besides, I need approval from both party's guardian to submit it. It was the condition of my father.

So I never submitted it and we are still legally married, couples.

2 months later~~~

I was busy working at my office. There were so many works I had to take care of a lot of work. So brought half of my work home.

I've been working all day and night because there's this huge project my company got and it'll help me raise my company higher. Maybe I'll be able to get back my father's attention and he'll see me as his son again. I'm trying to keep up with his expectations.

So today is Sunday and I thought of resting at home today instead of going to the bar or hanging out with my friends.

I was about to go back to my room when suddenly Mrs. Ann came and asked me, "Young master....those are some books and papers Miss Y/n left what should I do with them?"

I was on my phone at that time. So I didn't bother checking. "As she isn't here and she already threw them...I don't think we need to keep those." I look up at her and smiled. And she nods.

But my eyes landed in the brown envelope which was on top of the books Mrs. Ann was holding.

It says, 'To my dear Taehyung'

I frown my eyebrows. "Hold up." I stop Mrs. Ann and walk closely towards her as I grab the envelope which looked more like a letter.

"This... it's for me?" I'm so confused.

"Well it has your name so maybe..." Mrs. Ann said shrugging her shoulders.

I glance at her and back at the envelope. Then I look at the other envelopes and the books. All the envelopes have my name. And the book is actually a diary.

And there was a note stuck on it. 'NEVER TOUCH IT UNLESS YOU ARE KIM TAEHYUNG.'

What the!!!!!

I grab all the letters, papers and the diary. "I'll take care of those. You can go back to your work. Thanks." Mrs. Ann nods and went back to her work.

I walk upstairs to my room. I put them all on my bed as I grab my glasses and started to check all the letters one by one and then the diary.




Little did I know I was about to uncover a lot of truths I wasn't supposed to know. Not at least now.

There's still a lot of things are waiting to come in front of you.

Ik it's been a month. I've been trying to update too but first, my brain needs to work too. Hope y'all understand.

And stop criticize my characters. Stop hating on Taehyung's character, the twin's character, and stop making things difficult for others to understand all the points of this story. Y'all just keep on bashing the twins as if those 5 years old kids know everything better than an adult. You were kids too stop saying I hate kids....are you stupid or what? There was also a time when you were an annoying kid too and some people hated you. What do you even know about kids? πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘
