Y/n was tapping her feet. She has tried to talk to Jungkook multiple times, but he didn't reply to her texts. She saw the article and now she was worried that maybe Jungkook saw it too and misunderstood her.

Her eyes were fixed on the ground, she was sitting on a plane, she was just waiting to land back in Korea, so she could talk to Jungkook. Taehyung, noticing her distress, gently reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry too much about this. These rumors come and go all the time." Taehyung said he was sitting beside her.

Y/n looked up at him, her worry evident in her eyes.

"But, Tae, this one feels different. Jungkook won't just brush it off."

Taehyung said. "Trust me, he'll understand. I'll talk to him, explain everything."

Y/n sighed, "No, you don't. You think he'll believe you? It's complicated, Tae."

Taehyung tilted his head, "Complicated how? He doesn't trust you? There was nothing inappropriate about the pictures, he knows we are friends,"

Y/n hesitated, searching for the right words. "It's not about trust. I can't expect him to understand."

Taehyung nodded his head. "Maybe he didn't even see the article."

Her lips formed a thin line, she knows Jungkook has seen it or else he would have called her.

"I can drop you closer to your house," Taehyung said.

"No, thank you for dropping here." Y/n said, they came back one day early, and it was night and Taehyung didn't let her come.

"I will wait here, let me know if you need me." Taehyung said.

"No, just go home." She exclaimed and left the car. Taehyung stared at her as she walked to her house.

He looked at his phone and saw texts from Shinhye. He sighed and replied to them.

Y/n entered the house, she looked around the apartment, and she couldn't see Jungkook. "I am home," she said and she heard no responses.

She felt bad about it, she walked in and she was feeling worried.

She then saw Jungkook, absorbed in caring for little Jun, he knew she was here, but he was ignoring her.

She approached him cautiously. "I came early," she said.

"Jungkook," she called out softly, but he remained focused on the baby.

Jungkook lifted his gaze, he put his finger over his lips, and whispered. "Can't you see he is sleeping? You don't care about him, but I do, I'm taking care of Jun right now. We'll talk later."

"How has my junnie been?" She tried to touch Jun.

"Keep your hands away from my child." He said. She was a little understanding, but she knows why he is behaving this way.

"I want to talk to you?"

He carefully placed Jun in the crib, his jaw tightening. "About what? Your affair?"

Y/n clenched her fists, struggling to contain her emotions. "We need to address this now, Jungkook."

He holds her hand and pulls her out of the room, before closing the room gently. "Okay, yeah address it. Lie to me, like you do."

"Jungkook, I never meant to lie," she said.

"Explain then, you meeting Taehyung coincidentally in Korea might make sense, but explain how you were able to meet him in Japan too?" He asked.

"I should have make it clear, I know it is my fault, I was working for Taehyung-"

"WHAT THE FCK YOU SAID?" He yelled, making her flinch. "How can you hide this from me?"

"Sorry,"

"Shut up. Stop fcking apologizing to me if you're just gonna repeat the mistake. Why do you even lie? You are fcking him right?" He asked.

"Jungkook what? How could you even think like that?" She asked, he pinned her to the wall and held her hair.

"You tell me? How can I not think that way? You fcking know right? You knew he liked you! You knew he wanted to take you from me! You still decided to work for him. No doubt you are getting so many favors from him, You didn't even feel any shame for spreading your legs for him just for money!" He said.

Y/n slapped him. "Are you insane! How can you even think that way? Why are you so insecure?"

He ran his fingers through his hair, he could hear voices in his head of his parents arguing. He felt like he is going through all of that again as an adult now.

He remembers being in his room and hearing his parents having the same conversation.

He sits on the ground, he knows Jun is really young, but he still doesn't want him to hear this.

"How can I think this way?" He asked, he wiped his face with his hand. "How Can I think this way? How much more do you want me to trust you? I thought you were different, you were not like her, I thought you were not like my mom,"

"Jungkook," She sat beside him while tears formed in her eyes too.

"I understand, I understand Y/n. I am not doing enough but I was trying, I was trying to give you a better life, but at the same time, I thought you don't care about money, you didn't care that I can't buy luxury for you, I fcking tried my best to give you a better life, I worked hard, I studied hard to get into a good university and graduate, I have been working so hard since my childhood, just so I don't have to go through what my father has gone through, but now look at me, I failed. I failed at everything. I failed you, I failed myself, I failed Junseok. You're gonna leave me, you will leave Jun, you will leave us." Jungkook said and hugged his legs while crying.

Y/n hugged him. "You didn't, Jungkook, I am not leaving you. I love you, I am sorry, but trust me,"

She cupped his face and wiped his tears. "I know how much you try, I know baby. And I know how much you love me." She kissed his forehead again and again.

"You gonna leave me, what I gonna do without you Y/n? How am I gonna live without you? I am not as strong as dad, I can't live without you Y/n, I can't live without you," he repeated his words while crying.

"I am not leaving you," She said, caressing his hair.

He was crying, they heard the doorbell, but both ignored it but it rang again. Y/n thought maybe it is something important. She went to open the door and saw Taehyung.

Jungkook got obviously upset to see him, "What the fck are you doing here? How dare you even come here?"

"She left her purse in my car, and I just want to check if she is okay," Taehyung replied.

Jungkook turned to Y/n, "Really Y/n? His car? Even now you were lying to me. How dumb you think I am?"

"Why are you blaming her? You are such an insecure man." Taehyung said.

Jungkook was about to hit Taehyung, but Y/n held his arm. "Jungkook, please calm down." She said,

He hit her instead, and yelled, "STOP DEFENDING YOUR LOVER!"

Taehyung got mad, and he punched Jungkook. "HOW DARE YOU FCKING HIT HER?"

Jungkook punched Taehyung back, "FCK YOU! SHE IS MY WIFE! AND I AM IN MY HOUSE! YOU SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP FOR YOUR MOTHER WHEN YOUR FATHER HIT YOUR MOTHER IN THE PUBLIC FOR NO REASON! BUT YOU STOOD THERE AND DID NOTHING."

Taehyung got furious, and hit his face. He was keeping the rage in him for years and letting it out on Jungkook.

"Taehyung stop," she said he did so she pulled him away from Jungkook. "Jungkook, are you okay?" she asked and tried to touch Jungkook but he pushed her away, not letting her touch him.

"Just fcking get out of this house, you don't need to pretend to love me." Jungkook said to Y/n, and went in his room.

"As if she will live in this small rotting house, with a husband like you! Y/n come you are not staying." Taehyung held her hand. She pushed him.

"Taehyung, leave." She said,

"I am not leaving, He hit you. You are not gonna be stupid and forgive him for that! If you forgave him, it will keep getting worse," Taehyung exclaimed.

"Who told you to come here! Stay away from me and my husband, You make things worse." she said.

"But I was worried, I wanted to check if you were okay,"

"I was okay! I was okay until you came back to Korea. Just leave." She pushed him out of her house. And shut the door.
