《Tempting the Devil (Taekook)》FORTY FOUR
Advertisement
Taehyung sat against the wall, his head leaning back on the wall as he cried his heart out. He thought that Jungkook was playing him but now, when he confessed what he feels for the blonde, Taehyung don't know what he should do.
His heart wanted to dance in happiness while his mind told him that it was wrong. How can he accept the love of a person his sister longed for?
And Jungkook was the reason his sister died. This fact keep him stopping from thinking other way. He wanted to go to Jungkook and wipe those tears which made him feel pangs on his heart, to hold those hands which shook in disappointment and restlessness, to kiss away that worry that laced Jungkook's face, to take away all the stress Jungkook was weighing under but the death of his sister and the promise he made to her kept him stopping from going to the ravenette.
He wasn't sure about his feelings earlier but now, when Jungkook confessed to him. He knew that He loves Jungkook too. But how can he forget everything and just accept the ravenette.
He was still lost in his thoughts, the door opened harshly and an angry Jimin walked in. Taehyung wiped his tears immediately and composed himself as he stood up. Jimin tilted his head a little and looked at Taehyung with narrow eyes.
''I never thought you were so foolish, Kim Taehyung.'' Jimin taunted but the blonde didn't say anything.
'' I thought you were smart enough to differentiate what's wrong and what's right. I didn't expect this from you.'' Jimin said disappointedly making Taehyung look at him in amusement.
''Don't try to indulge in something you know nothing about.'' Taehyung replied back. he hate how Jimin always pokes his nose in everything he does.
''Oh No, sweetheart. I am not naïve. I know enough to tell you what you are doing is wrong. You can't punish someone for not loving anyone. It's Jungkook's wish, his heart.. and only he got the right to decide who he will love and whom not to.'' Jimin replied.
''But he could have at least tried to make Seon Understand....she could have been alive if Jungkook had shown a little effort.'' Taehyung replied. He was stubborn and don't wanna lose an argument against Jimin at least.
'' He could have but for that, Jungkook need to know about her....He never knew that girl, Taehyung.'' Jimin tried to make Taehyung understand. This argument was not about winning or losing, Jungkook's life depended on this argument.
''Right...because he was busy fucking his flings.''
''Why don't you wanna understand anything......Why are you persistent in proving Jungkook wrong?'' Jimin asked sighing.
''You wouldn't have been saying all this if you were in my place.'' Taehyung spat angrily.
''You are right...because I am not as foolish as you. I can differentiate what's right and what's wrong.'' Jimin said humorously.
''You were not left to live alone.''

'' Its better to live alone than having a sister like you who didn't think about you before suiciding.''
''She was forced to do that.''
''Who forced her? you? Me? Jungkook? Anyone else? Tell me? Who forced her to end her life without thinking about a brother who don't have anyone else in this world other than her?'' Jimin asked making Taehyung look at him narrowly.
''Heartbreak is the worst pain.''
''Are you not doing that with Jungkook right now?''
''This is different....He is suffering because he deserve it. My sister was innocent. She didn't deserve to die for a person who didn't give a fuck about her.'' Taehyung reasoned making Jimin laugh.
Taehyung looked at Jimin like he has gone crazy. Amid an argument, he was laughing like Taehyung has cracked a joke. Sometimes, Taehyung becomes speechless seeing Jimin's duality.
''Do you really think your sister was innocent, Taehyung?'' Jimin asked walking towards Taehyung's bed. Taehyung looked at him narrowly when Jimin sat on his bed placing his one leg over the other.
''What do you mean?''
''You spent five years training to take her revenge but you ever gave five minutes of your life to think about how your sister met the ruthless leader of mafia?...huh?'' Jimin asked the blonde cockily making Taehyung confused. He didn't understand what Jimin was talking about.
''Tell me, how did your INNOCENT sister met the Devil, Taehyung?'' Jimin asked again making quotation marks with his fingers when the blonde didn't say anything.
''S-She met him i-in a meeting.'' Taehyung replied unsure. he didn't like the direction in which their conversation was going.
''Wow....Do you think Jungkook is a CEO of some multibillion dollar company that working people will meet him at office meetings?'' Jimin asked but Taehyung was tongue tied.
''Jungkook is a Mafia leader, Tae and he only meets people who works in his world.....he don't meet common people.'' Jimin informed making a whole storm of thoughts run in Taehyung's mind.
What Jimin wanted to say?
Jungkook don't meet common people.....was he implying that.....no...this is impossible.
''Something clicked? Did you saw what I was trying to show you?'' Jimin asked again making Taehyung look at him blankly. Within a span of a week, his life took a three sixty turn.
'' You are l-lying.'' Taehyung tried to protest. His sister can't lie to him. She said she has a job here.....but, s-she never told what kind of job.
'' I am not lying, Tae....you innocent sister was a part of...what you call...yeah, Fucking Mafia....she was not as innocent as you think she was.'' Jimin finally revealed the truth making ground slip under Taehyung's feet.
He felt like his whole existent was a lie.
''N-No...you ar-are lying. She was my sister. She never hide anything from me...s-she cared for me, she trusted me.'' Taehyung yelled but Jimin kept sitting there unaffected.

''Come with me, I'll give you the proof.'' Jimin said standing up making Taehyung look at him pleadingly.
He was already feeling betrayed by so many people, he don't want to be betrayed by his own sister. He will not be able to handle it. Even if his sister lied to him, he don't want to know about it. He can live with the lie but knowing that his sister broke his trust will kill him alive.
''You can't always live in lie, Tae...truth find its way on its on.'' Jimin said. He felt bad for the blonde seeing him crying. Till now, the blonde thought that his innocent sister suicided because of Jungkook but this new revelation can turn everything upside down.
No, he trust his sister. She can never lie to him.
And thinking that, he wiped his tears and looked at Jimin.
''Okay...prove it if you can.'' With that both the boys went out to the store room. Jimin unlocked and they both entered the dark room. Jimin switched on the light and walked towards a section where hundreds of boxes were placed.
Taehyung looked around himself but his mind was occupied with hundreds of thoughts.
''Here....look at them yourself.'' Jimin placed some pictures in Taehyung's hands. The blonde looked at Jimin with damp eyes. He wasn't sure anymore. Just a sight of the picture and he can lose his sanity.
Jimin understood his internal debate so he nodded assuringly.
''Sometimes, we find a reason to live only when we let the earlier one go....Don't let yourself live in dark, Taehyung. A beautiful life may be waiting for you out of this store room.'' Jimin encouraged him. The blonde took a deep breathe and turned the pictures to look at him.
And his eyes widen when he saw her sister standing in a group photograph of some party. She looked so different. Taehyung has seen her in casual clothes but seeing her wearing that black cocktail dress and clinging onto some gangster who has a nasty face with a knife cut, Taehyung felt himself losing his mind.
Five years, five years he had been trying to learn to live without her, miss her everyday, blame himself for not protecting her, blame Jungkook for not noticing her feelings and now, he is coming to know that her own sister had lied to him so many times.
She never told him what she actually is...what she does in Italy?
He don't know if he should hate Jungkook for the death of her sister or hate her sister for keeping such a big secret form him.
He felt the betrayal again.
He felt like nobody cares for him, nobody trust him, nobody loved him ever. He only had her sister who he think used to love her but if she did, she wouldn't have lied to him.
But his tears didn't came out this time. His eyes were drained. He don't have more energy to cry now. He let the photographs fall and stood there blankly.
Jimin felt hurt for seeing Taehyung in such condition. He always has seen the boy cheerful or angry, determined but today, he seemed lost.
'' I know you suffered, Tae....and its not Jungkook's fault. You will have to understand that you can't force someone to love you. Its your sister's fault for committing suicide without thinking about you. You shouldn't blame it on Jungkook....if she cared for you, if she loved you more than herself and Jungkook, she wouldn't had done what she did.'' Jimin tried to explain Taehyung but the blonde kept standing lifeless.
'' It was not Jungkook's ignorance that took your sister's life, it was Seon's selfishness that she left you alone to suffer. And now, you are doing the same with Jungkook. You are leaving him heartbroken, alone to suffer......'' Jimin continued.
''I request you, Tae...please don't punish him for what he hadn't done. His mother left him and he became a Devil, he isolated himself from everyone. he didn't felt anything for years and now, When he had started to feel again, don't force him to lose his sanity. If you left him...I don't know what he will do. He will go crazy.'' Jimin said and looked at Taehyung for some response but the blonde stood silent, lost in his thoughts.
'' I am not forcing you for anything....do what you think is best but choose wisely so that you don't regret it later.'' Jimin patted Taehyung's shoulder and walked out of the room leaving Taehyung alone to decide what to do next.
Jimin could only pray for the best now. He had shown the way, Now Taehyung has to choose which path he wanna walk on.
Half an hour later, the blonde walked in the Gym where Jungkook was trying to let out his anger on his own body. He has been doing pushups since he came from Taehyung's room. The blonde looked at him, his eyes went to the bandaged hand which was bleeding again due to the excessive pressure applied on it.
He walked in and stood in front of Jungkook making the ravenette to stop and look at him.
''Stand up.'' The blonde commanded and who was Jungkook to deny.
As soon as he stood up, a jaw breaking punch landed on his face making the ravenette hiss in pain as his hand went to touch his jaw. He felt the wetness on his fingers so he looked at his hand.
It was blood.
That was coming out of the busted lip of the ravenette.

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
