Jiyong came home and greeted Jungkook and then her wife. He hugged her and tried to kiss her but she stopped him

“You smoked?” Haeun asked.

“Just one cigarette,” he replied.

“You were doing so well, one cigarette will lead to more. You will get addicted again and don't tell me you drink too?” She exclaimed.

“Stop scolding me, and I didn't. Jungkook, tell me about your day.” He was in a good mood so he turned to Jungkook and started asking about him.

They played for a while and then ate dinner, but Haeun didn't even eat dinner and she was focused on work. After Jungkook went to sleep he came to her.

“How long are you gonna work? You will get tired.” Jiyong said.

Haeun was focused on her work, “There is so much to do and so little time.”

She replied, he crossed his arms. She again started ignoring him, she is just too busy with work. She takes life  seriously and Jiyong doesn't. He likes to live freely and Haeun likes to be prepared and think properly.

She liked him for that, but she thought maybe he would know that life can't be spent carelessly. You have to be mindful of what you and not.

Jiyong stared at her, it doesn't seem like she will pay attention to him. He stood up and wore his coat. She finally looked at him. “Are you going somewhere?”

“Yeah, I remember something.” He said.

“Don't drink or smoke and when will you return?” She asked. He sat with her for an hour and she didn't pay attention to her and now suddenly she was asking him questions.

“Hmm, I don't know whatever she leaves me, she can't get enough of me,“ He said, trying to make her feel bad and left. Haeun was surprised by what he just said.

He went outside the house and called Myeong, she picked it up. “Are you home?”

He asked while he was walking towards her house.

Yeesung sat at the dining table, lost in thought, he hadn't asked Eunsook any questions about the note.

He knows that Hyeonjun and his wife don't have a romantic relationship like that but still, he can't imagine his brother having an affair with his own wife.

Taehyung excitedly tugged at his sleeve. “Dad, are you coming to my baseball match today?"

He was still in his night dress, he woke up early just to ask his father to come.

Yeesung looked into his son's eager gaze, managing a warm smile. "Of course, Tae. I promise I'll.”

Taehyung satisfied with his father's assurance, and headed off to get ready for the game.

As Yeesung left for work, Eunsook, his wife, said her goodbyes. "Have a great day, dear," she uttered, her focus already shifting to preparing Taehyung for his big moment.

But she didn't look at him, as she was focused on Taehyung but then she turn to him and he had already left and sat on his car.

She stared at him and got a little sad, as he always kisses her before leaving.

“Goodbye honey,” Hyeonjun said from behind, making her flinch.

She turned to him, “What? Did you call me honey?”

“Me? No, I was saying that to Hanni.” He replied.

“But Why? She is going to work with you.” She exclaimed.

“Because I want to, can't I say that to her?” He asked. He made her confused again.

Yeesung was still in his car, and he could see them from the mirror. She didn't have time to say to him but she had enough time to have a whole conversation with Hyeonjun. He can't hear then but the smile on Hyeonjun's face bothers him.

“Oh it's irritating,” She exclaimed.

“What is?” Hyeonjun asked.

“Your tie it's uneven,” she said, and took a step closer. Her mind will not let her rest for the rest of the day if she didn't make it even, so she fixed it.

“You are a good wife.” He said.

“Yes and a good sister too, right brother?” she asked. And he chuckled.

She stepped away from him, “Done.”

Hyeonjun smile, “Okay, then good bye.”

Yeesung got really furious and clenched his fists. What is she doing openly In Front of everyone?
__

“Where have you been? It's 2 am, and you never told me you'd be this late. Did you go to her again? I swear I'm gonna leave you if you do!” Haeun exclaimed.

“I didn't, I was just kidding,”

“What type of joke was that huh?” She asked

“Oh, my dear Haeun, you worry too much. You know I can't stay away from you for too long. I love you,” He said. He gets her attention whenever he makes her mad.

Haeun's frustration deepens as she crosses her arms.

He reaches behind his back, revealing a bouquet of flowers, handing her the flowers. “Happy anniversary, my love.”

Haeun's anger momentarily subsides as she takes the flowers, confusion etching her face. She was working overtime to spend the next day with him.

“But where were you? Why so late?” She asked.

He pulls her into a tight embrace, “You should learn not to worry, my sweet Haeun. I was preparing a surprise for our special day. Trust me; it's worth the wait.”

“What kind of surprise?” Haeun asked.

There is no surprise, he doesn't even remember the anniversary until he got a text from his mom wishing them.

“You'll find out soon enough. Just know that everything I do, I do for us.”

As he leans in for a kiss, Haeun can't shake the unease lingering in her heart. But She  just hopes he has change.

Yeesung approaches Hanni, who is engrossed in her work, typing away on her laptop. He clears his throat to get her attention.

“Hi, Yeesung, do you need anything?” She asked.

“No noona, I've noticed you've been working a lot lately. “ Yeesung said.

“I am used to working,” She replied.

“Maybe you should consider spending more time with Hyeonjun, focus on your relationship.” He said .

Hanni glances at him, her expression unwavering.

“I enjoy my work, Yeesung. It's not a problem.”

Yeesung wanted to make sure that Hyeon Jun relationship with his wife is good but finds out that Hyeonjun wants to divorce Hanni.

“What? Why? You two seemed so happy.” He asked dhis brother.

“I can't stand her obsession with work. I want a wife who prioritizes our relationship over a career.” Hyeonjun replied.

“But she enjoys her work. Isn't that a good thing?” He asked.

“I don't like working women. It's just not what I want in a wife. I can provide for my wife and I want her to focus on house, herself and kids only.” Hyeonjun replied.

“Did you find someone you want then?” He asked.

“Yes, I do. She is amazing, I like spending time with her. I was nervous to approach her, I was close to giving up but she took her first, she is quite straightforward.” He exclaimed.

Yeesung struggles to comprehend what he was saying, “Who is she?”He asked while clenching his fist.

“I can't Tell you right now, but I will soon.”

Meanwhile, Taehyung, in his baseball gear, looked up at his mom. "Is Dad coming, Mom?"

Eunsook nodded, "Yes, sweetheart. Dad will be there for your game."

"Where's Dad?" Taehyung asked.

She called him but he was not picking up the call, and the. Taehyung got really upset that he started crying. “Tae, calm down I am here right?”

“Give, I will call,” Taehyung said and took the phone from her and then he decided to call his uncle who picked up the call. “Uncle, where is dad?”

“Taehyung? Why did you call him?” She asked.

~”Your dad? I don't know. What happened? Are you crying?” He asked.

“I told him to come, he did, it's my first baseball match, dad doesn't love me.”Taehyung exclaimed.

~”Shush, calm down. Uncle will come there for you.”

Yeesung entered her house, he was furious as again Eunsook didn't come to hug her. It's not necessary but now he was used to it, he yelled at the maids who reminded him that she went to Taehyung’s baseball game.

Yeesung sighed and his anger calmed down, he turned off his phone and was shocked to see the missed calls.

He quickly decided to go there, he wanted to be there for Taehyung, even if it was just a kindergarten sport event.

He had almost forgotten about Taehyung's baseball game because of the chaos of his day.

As Yeesung entered he saw an unusual sight of Hyeonjun, Eunsook, and Taehyung seated together, laughing and cheering.

A pang of sadness gripped Yeesung as he watched them, they looked like a family while he felt like an outsider.

What is this? Do they want to take Taehyung from him?

He approached them, he wanted to punch his brother. Taehyung's eyes lit up as he spotted his father,  "Dad, we won! It was an incredible game!" Taehyung exclaimed, his excitement filling the air.

Yeesung managed to force a smile, congratulating Taehyung on the victory. "That's fantastic, Taehyung. I'm proud of you," he said, trying to push aside the growing unease.

“What are you doing herex Hyung?” He asked.

“Oh, Eunsook called me.” He replied.

“I didn't, Taehyung did.” She replied.

Taehyung was excited so he listened to him while he was still furious. They all went home.

The image of Hyeonjun, Eunsook, and Taehyung together lingered in his mind.

“Taehyung was so happy, I can't believe he has grown so much,” she said as she entered the room. “Today was so good, I was more nervous than Taehyu-”

He was tired, he didn't want to hear more about today.

She was shocked when he slapped her. He has never even raised his voice at her and he slapped her. She placed her hand over her cheek.

He didn't say anything and just left the room. Leaving her scared and confused.

Little Jungkook stood outside his kindergarten, His small hand clutched the straps of his tiny backpack as he waited for his father .

When his father didn't arrive,  he could be a "bad guy" just for today, he slipped away when the teacher was momentarily distracted.

Tiptoeing away from the school gate, he knows where his house is, he can go home by himself

As he confidently shuffled down the sidewalk, but then he found himself to be in an unknown area. He looked around and now he was scared and wanted to cry.

Jungkook spotted a little girl with pigtails and a pink backpack, help but was captivated by her cuteness.

Gaining courage, Jungkook approached her, "Hi, I'm Jungkook. What's your name?"

“I don't talk with strangers,” she replied.

“Everyone is a stranger here for me, then who am I gonna talk with?” He asked.

The girl responded with a giggle, "I'm Y/n! Why are you walking alone?"

Jungkook, not wanting to admit he was waiting for his father, flashed a grin, "I'm a bad guy today, going on an adventure!"

Y/n’ eyes widened, “You mean you are lost?”

“No, I know where I am going,” he doesn't, he lost his way, but he was somehow able to choose the path which led him to his future wife.

“Appa! This kid is lost!” Y/n yelled, and a man came by her side. He looked at Jungkook and asked him questions.

Jungkook knew everything, except his address, parents number or even names.

Y/n’s father decided to bring him to the police station. While the police and Y/n’s father were trying to find Jungkook's address , he sat with y/n while talking to her.

Y/n looked really happy and she was, she was the happiest when her father was alive. She lived a good life with him, she wasn't too rich or too poor.

“I see, you are acting like a bad boy, as you reach the police station.” she exclaimed, making him chuckle.

“Your parents don't fight?” Jungkook asked.

“No, why would they?”

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders, “I don't know, my mom yells all the time.”

“Mine doesn't, I really love my family and dad.” She said with a huge smile.

“I love my dad too,” he replied. “Do you want to be my friend?”

“Hmm, I don't know, you don't live near my house, maybe if you lived near my house or we went to the same school I would,” she said.

He looked down, sad, she was right. “You are cute,” he mumbled.

After a while Jungkook's mother came and she took Jungkook. He wanted to say bye to Y/n buthe couldn't as his mother was too emotional at that time.

Yeesung sat alone Tears welled up in his eyes, each drop carrying the weight of his fears and regrets. He couldn't shake the image of her hurt expression from his mind.

As the first tear escaped, Yeesung's shoulders trembled with the intensity of his emotions. Yeesung buried his face in his hands, the sound of his cries muffled.

Everything with her is so beautiful, that he is afraid of losing it.

He entered to find her sitting, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

He couldn't believe he had let his fear drive him to hurt the person he cherished the most. He knelt beside her.

Gently, he reached out, his hand hesitating before finding its place on her trembling shoulder.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just... I got scared, but that's no excuse."

She looked up at him, Yeesung's heart sank as he realized how sad she was. She trusted him and he broke her trust by hitting her.

In that moment, he set aside his own fears and focused on comforting her. "I love you, and I never want to see you scared like this. Can you forgive me?"

She nodded slightly. He hugged her.

“But why?” She asked.

“I am afraid of betrayal, I never want you to leave me.” He exclaimed, and hugged her tightly. He is the one who made his life so beautiful, he really doesn't want to leave her. No matter what.

“I will not, I promise right? I will stay with you until my last breath,” she mumbled.

He breaks the hug, “Does Hyeonjun bother you?”

She shook her head, “No,”

He hasn't done anything to alarm her like that. But she understands and knows her limits.

“Does he make you uncomfortable or touch you?” He asked.

“No, I don't like being touched except by you or Taehyung.” She replied. He nodded his head and kissed her forehead.

“Don't be close to him, stay away from him please. And let me know if he ever made you uncomfortable okay?” He said.

“I will,”

Jungkook's mother entered the house and took off Jungkook's bag, she got so scared today. She saw his father at homez she told Jungkook to go to his room and change his clothes.

She turned to him,  who was lounging at home instead of picking up their son from school.

"Why wasn't Jungkook with you?" she demanded. “Because of you he got lost! I had to pick him up from the police station! What would have happened if someone had kidnapped him? Or hurt him?”

Jungkook's father, who had been sipping from a glass, nervously set it down. "I got busy, lost track of time," he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.His excuse only fueled her frustration.

"I explicitly told you to pick him up! He's just a child. How could you be so irresponsible?" Her words carried a mix of disappointment and anger.

“Nothing happened, he is fine, it's not like something has happened to him,” he said.

As Jungkook, peeking from the hallway, felt a knot in his stomach. His parents' voices rose, and soon, their heated argument filled the air.

She went to her room, went to the bathroom while crying, she washed her face.

He can't even pick Jungkook from school, she had to left work to pick him. She noticed the bin and there were used cond0ms in there.

He knocked on the door, “Open the door, you are overreacting,”

She came out of the washroom. “WERE YOU FCKING HER EXCEPT OF DOING ONE TASK I ASK YOU TO DO?”

“I wouldn't have if you had let me fck you instead,” he said and she slapped him.

“What is wrong with you?” She asked. She still can't believe she left everything for him.

“What's wrong with you huh? I am never your fcking priority.”

“How can a man like you become my priority!” She exclaimed, she sit on the bed and she stood up disgusted, “Disgusting, you fcked her on her bed too.”

“Yes, and I will continue to do it. Because you don't let me touch you,” he exclaimed. He thought he had said that she would start caring about her.

But she already did, she has given him so many chances already.

She started packing her things, and he saw her. “What are you doing?”

He had her arm, “Don't touch me!”She packed her stuff. “I am leaving you,”

“Haeun, listen don't what are you doing? Okay sorry , I promise I will not,” he said.

But she continued packing, she went to Jungkook's room and packed his things too.

“Haeun, don't go. Jungkook is fine, I promise I will be responsible, I will not drink,” He said. Jungkook was confused and nervous.

Jiyong pleaded with tearful eyes, a facade of remorse masking his toxic nature. "I promise, Haeun, I'll change. I'll never hurt you again. Please, don't leave me."

Haeun, worn down by years of toxicity, hesitated.

"I can't do this anymore. Your promises mean nothing. I need to leave, for my sake and our son's." She said.

“You can't go away from me! We're a family." He said.

Haeun tried to control herself and she doesn't know what she thinks if he says he will change.

"This isn't a healthy family. I won't let him grow up in this toxic environment."

As she moved to leave, her husband's desperation turned to anger.

"You're not leaving! I won't let you!" He stood In Front of her. He knelt, clutching her hands, his voice trembling with desperation. He hugged her stomach,  “Just don't leave me, I love you so much.”

Jungkook stared at his parents, he felt bad for his father. He thought his mother would too.

“One year. I will file for separation for now. But if you didn't improve I will divorce you.” She said.

“I promise I will, I realized it's my fault just stay.” He exclaimed.

“I can't stay here anymore, it's on your if you want this marriage or not.” She said, she hates herself for making this promise. But people can get better right?

“I will, I will do everything, I love you so much Haeun.” He said.

She held Jungkook's hand who started crying saying he wants to stay with his father. But she pulled him away and left the house.

He was left alone and crying he can't believe she left him
