Chapter 5: Framed up

They are thrown in a temporary cell, Taehyung sitting in the corner while hugging his knees. He was worried, what if those SWATs told Jungkook? That can't possibly happen, right?

Jungkook surely won't believe them…

But he wasn't familiar with Jungkook's friends. He heard about them because Jungkook talks about them, but he never asks about their identity.

Right, there's no way Jungkook will believe them. Jungkook trusted him more than his friends. He shouldn't be nervous at all, yeah?

Besides, Jungkook is in Daegu, he was so busy too. Maybe that's enough reason for Taehyung to believe Jungkook won't find out.

He let out a hiss when he accidentally bit his bottom lip. He was too lost thinking about his boyfriend.

He is sobbing silently, nervous about what might happen to him. Not only that, but he regrets deciding on his own. This wouldn't happen at all if he didn't listen to Milan.

And now, Milan blamed him for framing the club, even though he didn't have any idea about the raid.

“Kim Taehyung, you are free. Someone paid your bail.”

He looked up at the bars when he heard his name get mentioned.

“Who is that person, sir?” He asked the police.

“You will see once you leave.” The police simply told him.

Wiping off his tears, he stood up from the cold floor of the cell and went out. But he got frozen when he saw who it was.

“J-Jungkook” He muttered while looking at his boyfriend, who was giving him a cold glare.

He swallowed hard, how did Jungkook find out about his situation?

He didn't tell him anything, even to someone he knew.

Did they tell him? Who are they?

Wasn't he in Daegu? Since when did he come back?

There are so many questions bothering him right now. His heart was beating so fast due to nervousness.

Without responding to him, Jungkook grabbed his right arm and dragged him out. Afraid, Taehyung couldn't do anything knowing he fucked up so bad and needed to explain A LOT to his boyfriend.

“Jungkook, will you let me explain?” He attempted to talk to him, who was obviously infuriated with him.

“Get inside the car.” Jungkook spoke coldly after opening the door of the car.

“J-just, please give m-me some time to explain, J-Jungkook.” Taehyung cried.

“That's why I'm telling you to get inside the car. Do you want me to get mad at you, hah?!” Jungkook retorted, raising his tone for the first time right in front of Taehyung.

Without any thought, Taehyung obeyed Jungkook and went inside the car. He is trembling in his seat with tears falling from his eyes.

“I'm sorry, Jungkook, I'm sorry.” Taehyung apologized, looking down at his lap.

He doesn't want to look at his boyfriend, scared to see Jungkook look at him with disgust. The car suddenly stopped, and he noticed they were in front of Jungkook's cabin. It's different from Jungkook's house because this cabin was designed to be their place once they lived together.

“Get out and let's talk inside.” Jungkook spoke and went inside the cabin.

Frightened, Taehyung swallowed hard before he followed Jungkook inside. He saw him standing there with his back facing him.

“So, you're planning to be a prostitute, no?” Jungkook asked, turning around to face him.

“Y-Yes” Taehyung responded with a shaky tone.

“Why?”

He looked at Jungkook and saw those furious eyes glaring at him.

“Money” He replied, sniffling.

“Money? That's all? How many lies you've hidden from me, Taehyung? Just because of goddamn money, you are willing to sell yourself, huh?! I can give you that, why didn't you ask me? Perhaps, you like those stupid people to use your body, hah.” Jungkook snarled.

“I-It's not like that, Jungkook” Taehyung sobbed.

“Then, what else, Taehyung?! Is there any reason for you to sell your body? Did you even think of me? Do you love me? Am I not enough for you? What else do you want me to do for you? Why are you doing this to me, Taehyung?”

Taehyung was hurt seeing those tears in Jungkook's eyes. He never sees him being emotional like this. He was sure he disappointed him so badly.

“I backed off, Jungkook, trust me, nothing happened. I didn't even start working there. That's why I went there to quit, please, believe in me. I love you, Jungkook, I love you so much.” Taehyung cried and knelt down in front of Jungkook.

“How do you want me to believe in you, Taehyung? There is a lot of evidence showing against your words. You are listed to be sold tomorrow in America. How can you explain this?” Jungkook threw a black folder in front of him.

Taehyung takes a look at it and his eyes widened, seeing a person bought him already.

“I-It's not true, Jungkook, I don't know anything about this. Milan. You can ask her, Jungkook, she knew it.” Taehyung explained, looking at Jungkook.

“Seo Milan, that's her, right? That's her name.” Jungkook said.

“Yes, that's her, please look for her, she can tell you everything.” Taehyung retorted, holding Jungkook's legs.

Jungkook crouched down in front of him and the way he looked at Taehyung looked like he was disappointed.

“She's the one who gave me this, Taehyung. There's also footage of you going there. She told me everything, you are secretly working there behind my back. That's why you are listed to be sold because you agreed to that negotiation. Why don't you tell me the truth, Taehyung?” Jungkook stated, standing up from his position.

Taehyung was undeniably shocked, he couldn't believe that Milan lied about him. He didn't see it coming, why did she do that?

“T-this is not true, Jungkook, s-she framed me! I didn't agree on anything!” Taehyung defended himself.

“Let's talk once you are ready to tell me everything I don't know. I'm disappointed in you.” Jungkook walked away from him.

“Jungkook! Please… trust me… ”

He watched Jungkook slam the door close and leave him alone in the cabin. Taehyung cried, not knowing what to do.
