Taekook: A Twisted Lovestory The Past

There's no past tense in loving someone, it's either you always will or never did, love is an eternal process..

The Past

Taehyung was the school prince in highschool. However, girls maintained their distance from him because of his cold personality and "I don't give a shit" attitude..

The reason for his cold behavior had a direct connection to his dislike towards girls, or maybe one or two of them, but he chose to rather be "just friends" with females, and thus became a proud gay later on..

Only Jimin and he himself knew why he maintained a distance with girls, as the saying goes, one bad experience makes you never want to let someone that close again.. so was Taehyung's case..

A few months back Tae and Jimin went to the library to get some notes. The duo went inside and found that almost all the seats were occupied and the only option for them was to read at the counters provided adjacent to the windows..

Taemin were looking for a particular book which they would have required to finish their project, while Taehyung was looking through the shelves Jimin noticed that book in the hands of a girl, who seemed to be elder than them and Jimin decided to ask..

Park Jimin

umm excuse me, but can u give the book to us for sometime, we will return it in 5 minutes.. (politely)

Somi

Yeah, sure.. please return it quickly (smiles)

Taehyung noticed Jimin taking the book and joined him while they thanked the girl, and in the meantime Taehyung noticed the girl's name in her ID card which lay over some of her notebooks..

It read Somi.. and above her name was the name of her university. But before Taehyung could read her family name, she grabbed her card and shoved it inside her bag and got up from her seat, intending to get some other book..

Kim Taehyung

yes we will be quick, thanks a lot

But little did Tae and Jimin know that Somi did her job already, which could have altered Tae's life into disliking girls..

Kim Taehyung

Hey Jimin! This book doesn't have some middle pages.. (says worriedly)

Park Jimin

hmm let's ask the librarian..

Park Jimin

umm.. Miss, this book has some missing pages..

Receptionist

But that's a new book, wait a second, this book is the one that got stolen a week ago! Where did you two get it? Or perhaps you stole it?

The receptionist accused the duo, as the two of them immediately nodded as a no, but the receptionist's tone alarmed the other people inside the library making Taemin the centre of attention..

Kim Taehyung

No ma'am there must have been a mistake, we didn't steal it, we got the book from the girl over there ( he looks to see that there was no one) but where did she go?

Park Jimin

yes ma'am he's right.. (supports Tae)

Receptionist

But there's no one, I guess u youngsters like playing tricks with us?(really annoyed) but you can't trick me, either pay the penalty or be ready for a visit to the police..

Kim Taehyung

But.. but that's unfair

Receptionist

Look mister ! none of us want to see the face of the police so just do what I say and pretend nothing happened..

By that time, people had started whispering among themselves and were giving Taemin weird glances.. Taemin didn't want to create a scene over there, so they decided to pay the penalty anyway, although they didn't do anything..

Park Jimin

Let's do it Tae, we are at disadvantage anyway, I guess we have enough money (said softly)

Kim Taehyung

But Jimin (tries to prove himself but pauses) ok fine.. Ma'am, how much is the penalty?

Receptionist

30000 won..

Kim Taehyung

(whispers to Jimin) Chim.. I only have 20000₩ where should be get the rest of the money?

Park Jimin

Wait I'll ask appa to give me some in my card.. (tries to pull out his phone)

Jimin looks at his bag to find that he didn't have his phone, he looks at Taehyung in a pleading look (talking with eyes I don't have my phone)

Taehyung understands and calls his father instead (his father is very strict with him) Although Tae could have told Jimin to use his phone instead to call his dad, but at that what of the moment none of them could think straight..

Kim Taehyung

Hello appa, can u please transfer 10000 won to my card I really need it! (pleads)

Mr.Kim gives him a good scolding but transfers the money eventually, Taehyung knows that he won't be spared when he gets home..

Kim Taehyung

Here u go ma'am (speaking in a low voice)

The librarian gives them the swipe machine and Taehyung transfers the money to the library's account. After the process, Taemin weren't in a mood to look for the study material they were looking for..

Park Jimin

Tae are you okay? I'll give u the money tomorrow (looks at tae to see that his eyes are red and his face has become pale) Tae I'm really sorry I couldn't help u..

Kim Taehyung

It's ok Jimin you don't have to give the money to me, its not that you owe me money, its just dad's scolding I'm afraid of and mom's suspicion that I am doing something wrong..

Kim Taehyung

I'm scared Jiminah! (sniffles)

Park Jimin

Wait I'll go with you I'll explain everything to Mrs. Kim, I hope she will understand..

Kim Taehyung

will she? (still teary eyes)

Jimin went to Tae's house along with him and said the whole story to Mrs.Kim..

Taehyung knew very well that his mother is just pretending to not scold him for the library incident, so that later on both her and his father can verbally abuse him so much, making him feel like a criminal..

Jimin went back and after sometime Mr.Kim came home giving death glares to Taehyung, after dinner he called Tae from his room and..

Mr.Kim

So what did u do with the 10000₩? I am pretty sure you didn't use that for your studies..

Mr. Kim's voice echoed through the four walls of the hall, Tae stood in front of his parents looking down at his feet and fidgeting with his fingers..

Kim Taehyung

No I didn't, Appa.. please listen to me first.. (pleads)

Mr.Kim

Stop your blabbering, I have experienced that too many times in my teaching career, looks like u have to be disciplined.

Mr.Kim

I'll be blocking your credit card for a month.

Mr.Kim

You don't even study! All day you just waste your time, what will happen if you have bad grades?!

Mr.Kim

A professor's son getting bad grades! "Ridiculous!" (growls at Tae who flinched at the loud voice and sobs silently)

Mr.Kim

Go! Go to your room and don't show me your face now..

Mr.Kim

I swear if I hear even a single sobbing sound or see a single tear dropping from your eyes, there won't be anyone worse than me!

Mr.Kim

GO! (shouts at Taehyung)

Kim Taehyung

okay (his eyes were red and he was shivering and biting his lips to muffle his sobs)

He lied on his bed, pulling the sheets over his head and clutched onto his pillow tightly before sobbing into it.. The pillow was drenched with his tears, but his parents weren't ready to hear his part of story..

Teenage is a dangerous phase of life indeed, but in Taehyung's case, his parents were imagining all sorts of bad influences that Taehyung might have indulged himself into, and thus even without proper understanding of their child, they kept on blaming him..
