House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 43

"You should have fought back." Namjoon wiped the blood from the scrape causing Taehyung to flinch.

"It would have made it worse." He hissed.

"Did Yoongi do this?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"He was going on about how I don't deserve what I have and that he has to take care of everything for me." Taehyung explained. They were both clueless. Taehyung got beaten by Yoongi because of me.

He has refused to talk to me since we say each other at the airport. The only exchanges we've had was when he was drunk and when he was covered in blood. Why is he picking fights? Who did that to him. I have to talk to him and straighten everything out.

Namjoon closed the door when we heard the others head our way.

"Everything okay?" Jimin knocked on the door. I sneaked out of the door trying not to show Taehyung but that fact they could all look over me didn't help.

"Was that Taehyung?" Jin's eyes were wide.

"Everything is fine." I hugged myself. "Just go back to bed please." I glanced between Jimin and Hoseok. Namjoon suddenly came out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow, for now, everyone go get some rest." His tone was a lot more authoritative than mine.

Once they all left we helped Tae to our room and laid him on the bed. It took him a while to fall asleep, he kept talking about his ribs hurting.

...

Taehyung healed fast. It's been 4 days and he's already going back to dance practice. Yoongi was still MIA but we agreed it was for the best, as long as he comes back soon.

"What shall we watch tonight?" Hoseok grabbed the remote with his free hand while grabbing onto his take out box with the other.

"The Heirs!" Jin yelled. Hoseok shrugged and began playing the episode we left off at. We were all engrossed with with the show only talking when we needed a different food passed to us. Suddenly the front door swung over and in walked Min Yoongi dressed in his usual head to toe black apparel. He didn't acknowledge our presence. Namjoon and I both got up.

"I need to talk to him." I said causing Namjoon to sit down.

He was sitting at his computer when I entered.

"Why were you covered in blood at my graduation?" He didn't answer. "You beat up Alex didn't you."

"Not now." He said quietly and got up to head toward the door. "Hey! Min Yoongi don't walk away from me." I growled. Finally he stopped and turned to me, his eyes meeting mine. "Tell me why you did it." I started to yell. "You didn't have to beat up Alex. Why did you beat up Taehyung.. Why did you kiss me!"

"He what." The door to the room opened.

My heart stopped. I knew exactly who it was. I was ready to stop Taehyung from jumping on Yoongi when I saw that all 6 of the boys were there, staring at us. My yelling must have caught their attention.

Taehyung's eyes landed on Yoongi after hovering over me for a few seconds. His usually gentle eyes turned hard and filled with anger. "You did what!" He screamed through gritted teeth.

We all tried to stop him from going to Yoongi but the adrenaline made him stronger allowing him to rip from our grasps. Jimin gently pulled me to the side trying to cover my sight of the scene.

In just a few seconds Taehyung had already hit the smaller man in the jaw twice. The corner of his mouth dripped with blood. Another hit to the stomach made him fall over wincing in pain. Why isn't he fighting back?

Finally, after a few more blows, Jin and Jungkook managed to pull him off of Yoongi.

"Why would you kiss my girlfriend? I thought you were my friend." Yoongi looked sad.

"I knew it was my only chance." He said quietly. "I can't help that I fell for her." His voice finally started to fill with anger.

"How long have you had these feelings." I spoke up shyly.

"I realized how much I cared about you when I went to California and I saw how broken you were, when you clung to me and cried about what that dick head Alex did all I wanted to do was kiss you and tell you everything would be okay."

My breath hitched at the mention of Alex's name. I looked around the room panicked, hoping that none of them would ask. I saw Taehyung stop struggling against the other boys.

"Alex? W-what did he do?" His uneven breathing revealed that he was crying. Jimin's grip on me tightened as I saw Jhope look to his feet.

"He raped her Taehyung." The only ones that didn't turn to look at me was Yoongi, Jimin, and Jhope. The only ones that knew. Taehyung's eyes were pouring tears when he walked over to me. I thought he was going to say something, maybe a growl about how he would kill the guys that did it. He took a long look at me before pulling me into the tightest hug he could muster. His hands shook as one slid to the back of my neck.

Finally he pulled away and composed himself.

"I think.. I think we should go away for a bit." Taehyung directed to me but it was for the whole room to hear. "I'm sorry I just don't think we should be here right now." He whispered to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards our room away from the others. I sat on the bed as he packed for me.

We didn't say goodbye, we just left. He muttered something about his family in Daegu.

I just got back. How did everything fall apart so quickly.
