Third person's pov

The scene was chaotic as Taehyung continued to beat Sunghoon, his fists connecting with raw fury. Sunghoon’s loud groan of pain drew Taewon’s and Hyunjae’s attention and they broke the eye contact.

Hyunjae, seeing Sunghoon, shouted, "YOU!" and without hesitation, joined Taehyung in beating him.

"DIDN’T I TELL YOU THAT IF I SEE YOU AGAIN, YOU WON’T SEE THE NEXT SUNRISE?" Hyunjae screamed, his rage rising. His IV line kept pulling at his arm, irritating him. Frustrated, he ripped it off, causing blood to start flowing from the puncture site.

Jungkook, terrified, shouted, "Hyunjae, stop!" and rushed to try and pull Hyunjae off Sunghoon. Hyunjae, however, was relentless, raining down punches on Sunghoon’s already battered body. Taehyung, equally enraged, continued his actions, ignoring the pleas around him.

Jungkook felt faint, his vision blurring as he tried to intervene. Soohyun and Heejin also struggled to pull Taehyung away, their voices pleading for him to stop.

"Appa! Please stop!"

"You are literally going to kill him please stop!"

Taewon, realizing the situation was getting out of control, had already called the guards.

When the guards arrived, they forcefully separated Taehyung and Hyunjae from Sunghoon, who was barely conscious at this point. Hyunjae kept trying to break free, wanting to inflict more harm. "Let me go!" he yelled, his eyes wild with anger.

Jungkook cupped Hyunjae’s face, trying to calm him. "Baby, I’m fine. Eomma is fine. Please, st-top."

Hyunjae, panting heavily, finally noticed a thin line of blood on Jungkook’s neck. He panicked, his eyes widening in horror. "Blood! You’re bleeding!"

Hearing the word "blood," Sujae and Taehyung also rushed over, their faces filled with concern.

Heejin, still in shock, turned to Taewon. "How does appa know him?

Taewon was too busy in his thoughts to reply to anyone," Mrs. Park—Jungkook—is Hyunjae’s mother? How does appa know Jungkook? And why was Hyunjae in the hospital?"

Hyunjae, still in a state of shock, examined Jungkook's neck with trembling hands. "Doctors! Come quickly!" he shouted, his voice loud.

Taehyung, his eyes teary and red, asked softly while breathing heavily, "Jung-gkook, a-are you okay?"

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, his breath catching in his throat. Taehyung was sweating badly, his knuckles were slightly bleeding and his breath was fast. He couldn’t take his eyes off him.

And before he could even try to respond, Hyunjae, his own hand bleeding, shouted, "DOCTORS! IS EVERYONE DEAF IN THIS HOSPITAL!" right now Hyunjae’s only focus was on Jungkook and only Jungkook.

Jungkook’s gaze shifted then from Taehyung to Hyunjae to Sujae, who was crying, then finally to the hallway filled with doctors, nurses, ward boys, and curious patients. His mind felt like it was about to explode from the overwhelming confusion and fear.

Doctors arrived and led Jungkook to the examination room, bringing him back to his senses. He lay down as Dr. Lee started to check the wound on his neck. Meanwhile, Taehyung tried to follow, but Soohyun grabbed his arm.

"Appa, who is he to you? Why did you do it?" she asked with teary eyes.

"I will explain it later. I have to check on him," Taehyung said urgently.

But Heejin stepped in front of him,  "No, appa, talk to us. Is he the one you’re in love with?"

Taehyung looked torn, wanting to go after Jungkook but unable to ignore his children. "I’ll tell you later—"

"No, appa!" Taewon cut in, his voice firm. "Now!"

"Are you dating him?"

"He is your past lover right ?"

"You actually love him ?"

Taehyung took a deep breath. "No, I’m not. He is my... my friend."

Soohyun crossed her arms, skepticism clearly shown. "Appa, don't lie! No one fights for their friends like that."

Taehyung raised his hands defensively. "I promise, I will fully explain it later on." With that, he ran towards the room where Jungkook was being treated, leaving his children trailing behind him.

"No, no, please don’t be what I’m thinking," Taewon muttered, mentally repeating as he followed his sisters.

Inside the room, Hyunjae sat next to Jungkook, one hand on Jungkook's head while the other was being bandaged by the nurses. Despite his own pain, he kept reassuring Jungkook, "It’s okay, baby, it’s okay." Sujae, still crying, tried to comfort both Jungkook and Hyunjae.

"Eo-omma, hyungie everything is fine now," Sujae said repeatedly.

Dr. Lee finished bandaging Jungkook’s neck and looked at Hyunjae. "It's not serious at all. Don't worry."

Hyunjae sighed in relief. Jungkook sat up with the help of the nurse and started patting Hyunjae’s and Sujae’s head. "Eomma is fine."

Just then, Taehyung burst into the room, still breathing heavily. Without a second thought, he rushed to Jungkook and hugged him tightly, so tightly that even Jungkook was shocked.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung asked, cupping Jungkook’s face and looking directly into his eyes. Jungkook’s eyes were teary, red, and confused.

Suddenly, Hyunjae pushed Taehyung away. "Who are you?"

"Taehyung!"

Sujae’s eyes widened. "Eomma, how do you know him?"

The nurse and doctor left the room to give them privacy, just as Taewon, Soohyun, and Heejin entered.

Taehyung looked at Hyunjae, recognition dawning on him.

"Wait- HE IS HYUNJAE’S BASTARD BOSS! AND HE IS JUNGKOOK’S SON?!"

"Jungkook, is h-he your son?" Taehyung asked in a trembling voice looking at jungkook and then at Hyunaje.

Hyunjae, responded, "Yes, I am his son! And who the hell are you?"

Taewon stepped forward angrily. "How dare you speak to my dad in that tone!"

Hyunjae’s confusion deepened. "He is your dad?"

Jungkook stood up, trying to diffuse the situation. "Hyunjae—"

Sujae held Jungkook’s arm and asked, "Eomma, is he that man... Taehyung? The man who cheated?"

"Sujae-ah, he is Taehyung but—"

Before Jungkook could finish, Hyunjae, his face red with anger, shouted, "So he is the man who made you cry that much! I will not leave you." He grabbed Taehyung’s collar.

"Hyunjae, stop it, baby—" Jungkook pleaded, trying to separate them.

But before he could do anything, Taewon punched Hyunjae hard, drawing a loud gasp from everyone. "Stay in your limits! My dad didn't cheat anyone, and he saved Mrs. Park!"

Hyunjae stumbled back, holding his cheek where Taewon had punched him. Jungkook immediately placed his hand on Hyunjae's cheek. "Baby, are you okay!"

Hyunjae gently took Jungkook’s hand off his cheek and said, "Step aside." Then, with all his force, he punched Taewon, making his lips start to bleed. Both Taewon and Hyunjae started punching each other, a flurry of fists and shouts.

Jungkook and Sujae tried to pull Hyunjae away while Taehyung, Soohyun, and Heejin tried to pull Taewon away. It was a chaotic scene of tangled limbs and raised voices.

" Kim Taewon leave him aghh!" Taehyung shouted, pulling taewon towards him with all his force.

Finally, they managed to separate the two. Heejin then stepped forward, glaring at Hyunjae. "Your mother is also dating our dad. Why don’t you ask him about it?"

Taehyung immediately shouted, "NO, WE ARE NOT DATING."

Soohyun replied, "You guys walked together that day, and the way you fought for him today only shows that you guys are dating!"

Hyunjae turned to Jungkook, silently asking for confirmation. Jungkook shook his head vehemently. "No, no, we aren’t dating! We don’t even love each other. We are just friends!"

Jungkook’s heart was pounding, his breaths shallow and ragged. He faced the room, trying to muster all the composure he had left. "We are just friends," he repeated, "Nothing more than that. Right, Taehyung?"

Taehyung’s gaze was locked on Jungkook, taking in every detail of his face. Jungkook's red eyes were puffy from crying, his cheeks wet and flushed. His soft lips trembled slightly, and his usually bright eyes were clouded with confusion and fear. The sight tugged painfully at Taehyung's heart.

Taehyung still nodded, forcing himself to speak. "Yes, we are just friends."

Hyunjae looked from Jungkook to Taehyung, skeptical. "Eomma, he is that college guy, right?"

Taewon, standing off to the side, was taken aback by Hyunjae's tenderness towards Jungkook. It was a side he had never seen before. " He has a heart?!" Taewon thought aloud.

"Hyunjae, let's stop it here," Jungkook said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"No, we can't," Hyunjae insisted.

"Hyunjae, please," Jungkook pleaded, his head pounding. "My head hurts so much, and I feel like I will pass out. Please stop."

Sujae quickly stepped in, making Jungkook sit down. "Hyung, stop it."

Hyunjae sighed, his anger turning into concern. "Fine." He then turned to Taewon and the others. "Mr. Kim, take your dad and get out of here."

Taewon, still glaring at Hyunjae, said, "Appa, let's go."

Reluctantly, Taehyung nodded, but not without one last worried glance at Jungkook. Soohyun had to drag Taewon out of the room as he continued to glare daggers at Hyunjae.

As soon as they were gone, Hyunjae knelt in front of Jungkook, taking his hands and kissing them repeatedly. "Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to stress you."

"Baby, come here," Jungkook said, and hugged both Hyunjae and Sujae tightly. After a few moments, he broke the hug.

Hyunjae kissed his head and declared, "Eomma, you won't meet that guy ever again."

Jungkook sighed deeply. "Hyunjae, we are just friends."

"I know, baby boo, but I don’t trust him or like him at all."

"He saved me today," Jungkook said softly.

Sujae frowned. "Eomma, are you going to take his side now?"

"No, no," Jungkook quickly shook his head, sighing again. "I won’t meet him alright. Now, my babies shouldn’t cry."  He said, wiping their tears with his hands.

In his mind, he was saying, "Oh god, why me?"

With Taehyung........

Meanwhile, in the car, Soohyun was driving back home. Everyone was silent and in their own thoughts.

Taewon suddenly remembered a vivid scene, almost like a premonition.

He imagined Jungkook and Taehyung getting married, everyone seemed happy except for him. After the vows were exchanged, Taehyung turned to Taewon and said, "Taewon, Hyunjae is now your elder brother. Call him hyung."

There is no way that heartless person will be his step brother!

"No! No!" Taewon screamed out loud, startling everyone in the car.

Taehyung turned to him, confused. "No what?"

"You won’t ever meet Mrs. Park again, understand?" Taewon shouted, his face red with frustration.

Heejin nodded in agreement. "Appa, I totally agree with Taewon. I know you said that you are just friends, but I don’t like that family, especially Hyunjae."

"Yah, you both! Don’t you know Appa? After all that misbehavior, he would never, ever see Mrs. Park again, right appa ?" Soohyun said, stopping the car and looking at Taehyung.
