Taehyun’s House, 20.00 P.M
Gangnam – South Korea
.
.
.
That night Taehyun sat in the middle room of his second-floor house. He sat on the cream sofa in front of the TV, flipping sheet by sheet of paper in front of him. Actually there are so many designs in his hands, but none of them interest him. He always felt that the designs were not good enough to replace Lee Hyeri's stolen designs. Taehyun's mind was muddled, especially today so many problems came to him. Some large investors who have invested in the HS project this time also attracted investment, and it is definitely not an easy matter to overcome.
Indirectly it can be said that HS is now in serious trouble. Taehyun was seen clenching his fingers furiously. He continued to concentrate on his work, but in reality he still could not do it well. He still continued to stare at the circular watch on his left wrist restlessly. It's eight o'clock, but Nara hasn't come back yet. This further adds to the complicated performance of his brain in thinking.
“SIAL! Where exactly did it go?” muttered fretfully. In any case, he wished his wife was by his side at times like this. He missed that girl.
Although it sounds excessive, Taehyun does not care. He just missed his wife. He wanted to embrace his wife's body, clear his mind and then re-construct a plan to bring HS up from this obsession. He cannot think well, especially when Nara is not beside him. Taehyun really needs his Kim Nara.
With slowed body movements, Taehyun grabbed the cup of coffee before him and gulped it down slowly. His heart was not calm, while his mind kept thinking about his wife's situation somewhere. It's not that Taehyun didn't try to contact him. Since then, he has been trying to call Nara. But in fact the girl's phone is always out of reach. He had also been unable to contact Jihyun since noon.
Where's both? Where did they go to find Baekki? Are they okay? The question kept haunting Taehyun's mind. Complicating his way of thinking back made him feel heavy in his head. All he could do right now was wait for his wife to come home hoping that nothing bad would happen to him. Taehyun breathed a deep breath from his lips when in the end that choice was all he had to take. He continued to try to expel the uneasy feeling in him through the outgoing breath.
Back, Taehyun forced himself to pay close attention to the details of the design before him in earnest, until the voice faintly rang into his ear.
“Han Taehyun..” that voice sounds heavy. Taehyun paused for a moment and turned towards Jaehyun who was standing leaning on the edge of the stairs to his right. Highlight Jaehyun's eyes looked shady, even though his eyes were slightly reddened. Taehyun was not sure, but it seemed like his half-brother had just cried.
Slowly Jaehyun walked up to Taehyun who was still sitting in his position without making any meaningful movements. Taehyun was just a little surprised. It was not usual for Jaehyun to act like this. The two have almost never sat together. In the last few years, that has never happened again. Even Jaehyun almost never reprimanded him. That's what makes Taehyun's eyes now pierce deeply and look far into Jaehyun's bead eyes.
Taehyun was just being wary of his half-brother who was now sitting next to him. For the first time, being paraded that close, Taehyun was able to capture the pain from Jaehyun's eyes. Jaehyun leaned forward, propping up his body using his elbows which he placed on his slightly exposed knees. He sighed softly and then looked at Taehyun at a glance.
“Where is Nara?” tanyanya lightly.
Taehyun's forehead automatically wrinkled. Even the look on his face unconsciously seemed so tense along with his brain that began to guess about what Jaehyun currently wanted.
“Hey, relax. I only asked because I hadn't seen him. Didn't she come to the office with you today?” lang Jaehyun's. He knew his brother would turn very sensitive if he had dealt with his wife. At least Jaehyun is quite aware that it is not a good thing to ignite his sister's emotions that are sometimes difficult to control.
“Not your business!” sergeant Taehyun. Receiving a strong reaction from Taehyun, Jaehyun only showed a slanted smile on his handsome face. He doesn't get too dizzy about this.
“Don't you overdo me Han Taehyun. Am I not your brother.?” Jaehyun ducked down, staring at his fingers clinging to each other.
“Well, brother? Since when do you think I'm your sister! What do you really want, huh?” tanya Taehyun who sounded uncomfortable with Jaehyun's words. Honestly, he was confused by his brother's sudden attitude.
Jaehyun smiled lightly. He lifted his head and looked at his sister. This was the first time after all this time that he noticed Taehyun's facial features. “I heard some big investors pulled their investments from HS? What are you going to do after this?”
“So this is what made you come to me? Pretending to be a good brother by worrying about his sister? You don't have to worry, I'll make sure HS is in a very good condition after this”
“How do you do it? I know what you did today. You came to Mr. Jung to ask him to invest in your project, didn't you? You can't even get an investment from him, so how do you get HS back?” Jaehyun gave a little pause to his words. He just wanted to see what reaction his sister would show.
Taehyun just fell silent, making Jaehyun look satisfied with what he got. “You can't do everything well without Lee Baekki. Aren't you aware of that?”
“Stop your bullshit and go!” Taehyun no longer cared about the existence of Jaehyun. He far prefers to look back at the documents in front of him and concentrate on reading the details of the contents of his documents.
“You look so pathetic. You even let yourself be insulted. Allowing the self-esteem that you so held in high esteem should just fall when master Jung rejects you. How'this? Should I help you?”
In that instant Taehyun stopped all his activities. He closed the rough sheet of documents in his hand and looked at Jaehyun furiously. The man's jaw was hardened but he still forced his lips to smile.
“There is no need to worry too much about me Hyung. Take care of your life!” Taehyun immediately stood up from his position and intended to disappear from there as quickly as he could, before his patient veins were cut off. But it seems Jaehyun did not want to let his sister go from there.
“Honestly, I intend to help you. I'll get Mr. Jung's investment for you. I'll also help you get other investors. Just get the contract ready, and I'll take you to see them tomorrow.”
“What you really want!”
“Tak. I just want to help you. You said you wouldn't let me win. At the very least, we must be in the same position to be able to compete fairly. I just don't want you to fall so easily” Jaehyun seemed to let out a short sigh and resumed his words, but this time with a tone so low that it was barely audible. Even Taehyun couldn't hear it very well.
“I just don't want to let all the woman's plans go well. I don't want him to control your life the way he controls mine.”
“I don't know what you're hiding behind this, but the only thing I want is to save HS. So no matter what happens later I still have to get that investment”
Jaehyun again smiled lightly through the leaves of his lips. “Swise choice. Meet me in my room tomorrow” Jaehyun patted Taehyun lightly on the shoulder then walked into his room.
The lights are still visible illuminating the corner of Taehyun's room brightly, although in real circumstances the residents are not so need lighting. Taehyun was carrying a document in his hand, but he was not really reading it. His mind drifted away, considering the big decision he had just made. Receiving help from his stepbrother, he did not know it was the right move or not. He is just in a difficult situation where he really\ really needs investment for his new project. He has no other choice here. This is between receiving help from your enemy to survive, or letting yourself slowly die without an effort.
The clock on the wall of his room was already pointing at the number nine as the door leaf opened. Nara seemed to enter with a face so shabby. He clearly looks so tired. Even his appearance was so messy with a matted shirt and shabby looking hair. Taehyun stared at his wife's presence sharply. Nara knows that she is under threat. Nara smiled, slightly making an aegyo on her face and then sat down beside her husband.
“Where are you!” taehyun shouted as Nara had just leaned her back against the back of the sofa and breathed a tired breath from both of her lip leaves.
“Give me 5 minutes to breathe and you can scold me afterwards.” Nara muttered almost without energy. Taehyun could only look at his wife who was wriggling flexing her exhausted-looking muscles.
“Rather than just sitting there staring at me, how about you lend me your shoulder to lean on Mr. Han.”.
“That's funny.. How much do you think my shoulder is worth? I don't carelessly lend me my shoulder! You know that!”
“Am I not your wife?” nara Rengut
“There is no rule that says I should lend you my shoulder, right?”
“You Sucks!” nara Rajuk. The girl turned her back to Taehyun and leaned her head against the back of the sofa she was sitting on.
“What good is your shoulder, this sofa is much more comfortable!” tease Nara who still looks upset.
Taehyun looked at his wife's back and smiled knotfully. His mood felt much better after his woman returned. Even this little quarrel he had deliberately created felt so pleasant. Seeing Nara sulking and upset, Taehyun liked her.
“Your time is two minutes. I'll scold you afterwards, so before that happens lean on the sofa as much as you”
“Suami sucks!”
“I heard you, Kim Nara!” Nara was completely silent afterwards. No one started the conversation until the atmosphere there felt so lonely.
“Hey, does your body not ache continue to sit in such a position? It would be more comfortable if you lay down.” Taehyun scolded after seeing Nara continue to sit hugging her knees while leaning against the sofa.
“Come here.” he pulled Nara's shoulder and twisted his wife's body then made her lie on the sofa with the head position that was above her lap.
“Begini is much better isn't it.?”
“You said I can't lean on your shoulder!”
“You're not leaning on my shoulder. You're just sleeping on my lap.”
“You suck!”
“I'm just kidding. Where have you been today? Leaving your husband without a word is a forbidden act for a wife. You know that, don't you?” teased Taehyun with a soft voice. While her hand lightly stroked Nara's hair that was decomposed on her lap.
“I just accompanied Jihyun looking for where Baekki was.”
“Then did you guys find it?”
“No. We've checked the company's CCTV but I don't know what happened, but it looks like someone deliberately turned off the CCTV footage on the 10th floor today.”
“So you think someone deliberately kidnapped Baekki?”
“Entahlah.. We will look for it again tomorrow”
“Tno need to look for it. I've asked people to find out where Baekki is. You and Jihyun don't have to worry about this. I'm gonna get Lee Baekki back. You two concentrate on the new design that will be launched”
“You really did it? Don't you care about Baekki missing?”
“Baekki is still my responsibility, Nara. I don't want you to leave me anymore either. Need you. At a time like this, I need you so much.” Taehyun. His face looks sad.
Nara was quite surprised by Taehyun's change in expression. The girl got up from Taehyun's lap and sat down to look at her husband's worried face.
“You okay? Did something bad happen?” ask Nara.
The girl got up from her position and sat down on the long sofa of her room while looking at Taehyun with both hands that cupped her husband's face inside. Taehyun remained silent. Slowly he lifted his face and returned Nara's gaze.
“I just made a very big decision, Nara. I don't know if this path is right or not. I'm just trying to save HS.”
“You know, a lot of big investors are pulling their investment in HS. And you know, I failed to get investment from Mr. Jung and some other companies. HS is much worse than we imagined.” Taehyun let out a heavy breath.
“Working in the business world is the same as plunging in the entertainment world. So fast it skyrocketed to the top, but once a scandal came, everything would be destroyed. All your hard work will also be ruined.” Taehyun gave a raucous sigh.
“Tae..” monitor Nara. He brought his body closer to Taehyun and hugged him. Nara looked confused. She wanted to help her husband, but she didn't know much about the business. All she tried to do was be a good wife. A wife who will always be there to provide support for her husband.
“This situation is really not good, Nara. Jaehyun hyung came to me.”
Hearing Taehyun mention Jaehyun's name, Nara let go of his embrace.
“He offered me help. He promised to help me get investment for HS. I honestly want to reject it. But what happened was that I said I would accept it. I don't know what I just did!”
“Isn't that a good thing? Then why do you look moody?”
“I just don't know what he meant and what his purpose was to help me. Can I trust him? Ever since my own Eomma left me. Ever since that woman betrayed an aboji and dumped me, it's too hard for her to trust someone. Everything I believed one by one betrayed me. Aboji, eomma, Baekki, who am I supposed to trust? Is there really nothing in this life that we can trust?” taehyun's breathing sounded frustrated, depressed and shrill.
“You can trust me. You forgot you still have me? As your wife, I will always be on your side. Don't feel alone anymore. At least you have us. Me, Hyeri, Jihyun, Hyunjin, we are all on your side. We will always help you.” Nara tries to convince her husband that she is not alone. She smiled and let her body once again fall in her husband's warm embrace.
“Tenace. Everything's gonna be fine. I don't think there's any harm in trying to trust Jaehyun oppa. The Jaehyun I know is a man who is so warm and wise. He always held firm to his words. If he says he will help you, then he will really help you. I trust him. You should also start trying to believe it.”
Taehyun released his embrace on Nara's body and stared intently at his wife. “You still love it!” loud accusations.
“I do love it.” replied Nara plainly
“YAK! KIM NARA'S! You want to die huh?!” snapped Taehyun loudly. Nara giggled as she saw the violent reaction her husband had made.
“I still like it. But I just love my husband. My heart, my heart and my body are yours. Then what else do you doubt about me?”
“Waaaahh, Daebak! Are you seducing your husband Madam Han?” sindir Taehyun's. Nara only scowled her face and pretended to be upset in front of her husband.
“Come.” Taehyun pulled Nara's arm closer. He kissed his wife's lips slowly. Both of Taehyun's arms hugged Nara's back tightly.
“Truutt... Trruuutt.” Taehyun's phone ringing sounds so loud. Forcing the two men to take off their lip links and stare at the same point. On the couch where the black phone is on. Taehyun grabbed his phone and put it back on the sofa as he stared at Hyeri's name.
“You didn't answer?” nara Tegur. He had yet to completely remove both of his arms that were coiled around Taehyun's neck.
“I'd much rather continue our kiss than answer his phone” Taehyun brought his face closer to Nara. A little more the lips of the two will be reunited if only Nara did not avoid.
“What if there's something important he should talk about?”
“He will call again later if it really matters. Hyeri will understand if I say I'm kissing you and ignore the phone call from her.”
“Tsk, humiliating! Quickly answer your phone, Han Taehyun!” Nara took and thrust the phone at Taehyun while glaring at her husband to answer him. There's no other choice. Taehyun just took the phone from Nara's hand and answered her lazily.
“Hallo.” hello Taehyun
“YAK! What are you doing! Why so long!” hyeri snapped loudly until Taehyun was forced to keep the location of the phone away from his ear.
“It's still a good thing I answered the phone. Don't you see what time it is? Don't you forget that I'm still a newlywed couple?”
“Aisshh! Director Han, I know. You don't have to clarify everything!”
“I was enjoying my wonderful evening with my wife, so quickly tell me what you called me. I'm only giving you 2 minutes, Miss Lee. I don't want my wife to wait too long.” Nara glared at Taehyun sharply, while the man just smiled sinlessly.
“Basic Mesum! Listen carefully! Director Han, I need you to do some research in the field. Go to the amusement park tomorrow. Take a good look and give photos of clothes that are being favored by teenagers for dating. I'm working on a concept for our winter clothes. My target market this time is teenagers aged 17 – 22 years. Ah, take Nara with you. I'll give you a chance to date. Think of it as my apology for interrupting your night.”
“You think I have time for a date? You're crazy, Lee Hyeri!”
“What's really why? I think you always have enough time for your wife. Where is the problem?”
“Hahaha.” Taehyun's laughter suddenly broke upon hearing Hyeri's words.
“You've always known me better than anyone Miss Lee. I always liked you. All right, I know. I'll do that. Until now, you're the only one I've allowed to rule me. You should be proud of that. Hahaha.” Taehyun disconnected his phone and placed the small object on the surface of the sofa. He only realized that from earlier Nara was looking at him while sitting with a look of annoyed face that was so obvious.
“You always know me better than anyone? I always liked you? You're the only one I'm allowed to rule me? Cah, what kind of husband blatantly says he likes another woman in front of his wife?!” sergeant Nara. Taehyun just smiled lightly.
“I've always liked it. But I only love my wife. My heart, my heart and my body are yours. Then what else do you doubt about me?” that smile was faintly painted on Taehyun's lips. There was a speck of ridicule in his tone when he managed to repeat back Nara's words to him earlier.
“Stop using my words! You're a bitch!” Nara got up from the sofa and walked over to her bed with an annoyed grumble.
“Yak, don't want to continue our kiss?” tehran Taehyun. He got up from the couch and walked in Nara's footsteps while trying to seduce his wife.
“Do it with Lee Hyeri!” annoyed Nara
“Do you really want me to do it with Lee Hyeri? You really told me to do it?”
“I'll kill you if you really do!”
“Then do it with me!” I don't know since when, but now Taehyun has been standing in front of Nara. One by one began to move his legs closer to Nara's body with a mischievous grin on his lips.
“No! I don't want to do it with you!” elak Nara's. Taehyun squeezed Nara's body so that Nara had no room to retreat. Nara sat on the edge of her bed because her body was pressed. Meanwhile Taehyun widened his smile.
“You forgot? I'm not the kind of person who gives you a choice. No matter if you like it or not. It doesn't matter if you want to or not. I'll still do it.” Taehyun managed to paralyze his wife's body. Even now Nara is under the control of her husband. Taehyun's burly body had been on top of his, making him no longer able to fight back.
“Why are you always like this!” nara Lirih.
“Because I love you Kim Nara.”
“Crazy basics!”
“I'm crazy for loving you.”
