An honest lie | Kim Taehyung (editing*)

- Asshole day -

Taehyung came out of the building and spoke while struggling to take out his car keys from his pockets.

"You need something, Jim?" He finally managed to pull them out, but they accidentally fell to the ground. "Shit."

"Tae... we need to talk." He heard from the other line his best friend's apprehensive voice.

"Yeah I figured, you've been acting so weird since yesterday night, so I thought there was something up." He noted as he bent down to pick up his keys. But as he grabbed them, a sudden bumping noise jumped him from the back of his parked car.

Alert and disturbed, he rushed towards where the noise came from and found another car rapidly backing off from his.

He scowled and checked if his assumptions were right. He scoffed sarcastically after seeing a slight deformity on the left backlight.

"What the heck?" He groaned, but soon shook it off since his car was already damaged and didn't much care for its appearance at this point. But the feeling didn't appear to be the same for the other person's car.

He came out of his car slamming the door behind him aggressively.

"You gotta be kidding me!" He strolled to the front side and bent down.

"Tae? What happened?" Jimin asked on the other line.

Taehyung watched the man with a raised eyebrow still with his phone in his ear, he then slowly approached him to also see the great damage this idiot had made. "I'll call you back."

The man cursed heavily and examined the front of his expensive car frantically scanning the damage.

Taehyung curiously glimpsed from his shoulder and tried to spot the bump, but he couldn't find it.

He grimaced and shrugged.

The idiot turned around and stood up eyeing the detective with outrage and repulse.

"You're gonna fix this?" He shouted unable to control the fury that was taking over his inexistent rationality.

"What?" Taehyung's eyebrows joined together in perplexity trying to comprehend him.

The man stormed closer to him and just like that, a wave of yells and hollers deafened the young man, accusing, threatening, and insulting him.

"HOW THE HELL DOES A SANE MAN PARK LIKE THAT? DOES IT SEEM NORMAL TO YOU MORON?"

Taehyung tried to talk in between his long non-breathtaking phrases, as now he started to get annoyed, but still maintained a calm attitude.

"Hey HEY! Mate, if it's anyone's fault, it's your own's. You clearly bumped into my car." He cleared, pointing with his thumb towards his back.

"HOW IS IT MY FAULT WHEN AN IMBECILE LIKE YOU, DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO FOLLOW THE FUCKING PARKING RULES?" shrieked the man aggressively pointing towards the white line at the bottom of Taehyung's tires.

Taehyung followed the direction and noticed his car was parked just a little bit unmatched to the diagonal of the line's path.

"Yeah, I admit that I didn't follow your so-called parking rules, but my car wasn't the one that was moving, now was it?" He challenged the man while putting his hands in his pockets, purposely pushing aside his jacket to show his badge.

As evidently as the man looked at it, it didn't seem to bother nor startle him at all, as he continued to swear at the detective nonstop.

Taehyung had just about enough of his attitude problem, so he lowered his voice, deepening it in a threatening manner.
