Y/n stood in the cold police station, her eyes filled with determination as she defended her husband, Jungkook.

The police officer looked stern, holding a file that painted a troubling picture of domestic violence.

"We received a report alleging domestic violence, ma'am. Your husband is accused of being abusive. We take these matters seriously." The officer said.

"Officer, you don't understand. Jungkook is the nicest person I know. He has never hurt me, not even once." She exclaimed.

The officer raised an eyebrow, skeptical of her words.  "Ma'am, these reports are taken seriously. We can't ignore them.”

“Do you have any evidence that he did?” she asked.

“We have a complaint, a really strong one. And proof, ma’am look at your face, what happened to you face?” The officer asked. She tried to cover it with makeup but there was a tiny bruise that was still showing.

"I can vouch for his character. He would never harm me or anyone else." She said.

She pleaded with the officer, desperation in her eyes.

“We need to investigate thoroughly, ma'am. If your husband is innocent, it will come to light. But we must follow the procedure.”

“What are you not listening to me? When I am saying he has never hurt me?”

“Mrs. Jeon, wives like you come and be pathetic by taking sides of their abusive husbands, we are just trying to help you.”

“He is not abusive,” she said.

The officer sighed, realizing the complexity of the case.

"We'll conduct a thorough investigation. If there's foul play involved, the truth will surface."

As Y/n left the police station, they didn't even let her meet Jungkook. She knew it was Taehyung, so she decided to talk to him.

Y/n confronted Taehyung, "Taehyung, why did you report Jungkook to the police? What the fck is your problem?"

Taehyung looked at her with a serious expression. "I care about you, Y/n. I couldn't stand seeing you in a toxic relationship."

Y/n shook her head, disagreeing. "It's not caring, Taehyung. You should have stayed out of our relationship. Jungkook and I love each other; we're not in a toxic relationship."

Taehyung defended himself, his voice tinged with concern. “Why doesn't he trust you then?”

Y/n sighed, frustrated by his misguided actions. “Stop this, please, right now, just take your complain back,”

She exclaimed and started crying. Taehyung stared at her and clenched his fist, he shook.  “He hit you, he crossed the limit,”

“Taehyung, I slapped him first! I crossed the limit first,”. She exclaimed.

“It's different for you,” he replied.

“Why the fck it is different? There is no difference between me and you, but the only difference in that situation was you interfering, he wouldn't even had hit me if you didn't interfere,” She exclaimed.

“Why? Listen, please don't,” He walked closer to her. “Don't, you don't need to tolerate,” he cupped her face.

She pushed his hand, “Tolerate what? Jungkook has never hurt me. We trust each other, and as a couple, we could have solved any issues. It was my mistake that led to this, not his actions. You had no right to intervene."

Taehyung's expression shifted to a more cold one. "I just want to protect you. Do whatever you want, he is not coming out of the jail, he should have thought before hitting you.”

"Protecting me would have been respecting our relationship. Trust me, Taehyung, I don't need saving from a love that's genuine." She exclaimed.

“Y/n, I have seen love turning into abuse,” he said.

“Jungkook was right, You should have stood up your mother when she needed to, except for this,” She exclaimed, Taehyung is extremely sensitive about this topic, he got furious and held her by her neck, and pulled her closer to him.

“Don't speak, you matter, you have no clue about Y/n, I couldn't ruin my father's life, but I can surely ruin your and your husband's life. Don't take me lightly,” He exclaimed, while holding her neck. Without realizing that he was choking her.

He let her go when he realized it. She fell on her knees and started coughing, while trying to get some air.

Taehyung was shocked by himself too, he sat near her, and saw her neck was red and had his fingerprint on it. It was way worse than what Jungkook did, a lot worse.

“Are you okay?” He asked, she pushed his hand.

“Just stay away,” She stood up, while tears scrolled down her face.

“Y/n,” he stood up.

She was actually disappointed to see his behavior and how he was talking. And she was literally scared, she was scared of him.

“I am sorry,” He exclaimed, he tried to hold her hand but she pushed her hand and left.

Taehyung stared at her walk away , and he looked at his hand. How could he even do that?

He clenched his fist, and hit the table. “Jungkook, it's fcking his fault!”

Y/n nervously paced around her room as she dialed her mother's number, her fingers tapping anxiously on the phone.

She has been in touch with her mother here and there. They are not that close that she visits her regularly but still, they met once in a while.

And she really hope that her mother will help Jungkook, She has never ask her for help, but it was the first time, because Y/n knew it's not even about money, it was about having a connection to get Jungkook out of the jail.

Y/n didn't have Jungkook's mother phone or know where she lives orelseshe would have contact her first.

~Her mother's voice softened, "I'm sorry, sweetheart, there's not much I can do. But your stepfather might be able to help. He has some influential connections."

Reluctantly, Y/n agreed to reach out to her stepfather, aware of the uneasy history between them. She hates him since her teenage years but she was hoping to see a different person.

As she spoke to him on the phone, he suggested a face-to-face meeting. Which she didn't want.

~"Come to my office, Y/n. We can discuss how I might be able to assist," he said.

Y/n hesitated. But she agreed it was in his office, in a public place.

His assistant told Y/n to go to the office, she did, he looked at her with a smile.

“Good to see you, honey.”He exclaimed and hugged her. “You smell nice,”

She already felt weird, just him hugging her and making that comment made her really uncomfortable.. Jungkook doesn't even let him hug her, because he knows his intentions.

Her step father pulled away and told her to take a seat. “What brought you here? Sit.”

She sat across from him. She told him the matter and he nodded his head. “Are you sure he is not abusive? What happened to your neck then?”

“It wasn't him,” she replied. “Would you help me? After my father, you were the father figure to me.”

“Aww, of course, you are asking me for something for the first time.” He holds her hand, making her uncomfortable. Her stepfather assured her, "How about we meet somewhere private? We need privacy to handle these matters. Trust me, it's for the best."

He handed her a card, with hotel details and a number. She should have known. But she thought maybe at age of 61 and literally having two children with her mother, he wouldn't be a pervert anymore.

She stood up. “This is ridiculous, you have no shame,” She stood up, and ripped the card.

He stood up too, “You came to me for help, you really think I would help you with nothing in return?”

“Yeah, my fault, I remember my childhood, and thought maybe you had cared about me like a father,” she exclaimed, and decided to leave the office.

But he hold her hand, “I would always have regret of not fcking you,”

She tried to push him, but he pinned her hands over her head with his one hand to the table instead, while his other hand caressed her body.

Making her feel disgusted and sick, she was just getting flashbacks of her teen days, when he tried to do the same.

She kicked him in the nuts as hard as she could. And pushed him off her body. “You are fcking disgusting!” She exclaimed and hit with her purse.

Before leaving, the building.
