Chapter 18

Jimin looked angry as he gave her another glance, his eyes lingered on her for seconds. She stared at him for a moment, analyzing him and trying to read his thoughts.

His intimidating stature almost made it impossible for Y/N to speak.

Y/N then stared at the torn paper on the floor. "Park Jimin." Y/N helplessly muttered.

Jimin stared at her figure for a brief moment. He closed his eyes, his lips pressed together in a tight line, being dissatisfied that he scared her.

"I am doing you a favor to make a decision." She let out a frustrated breath. "Since you want to be with Kim Seulgi, then why don't you go with her?"

His eyes widened. "When did I say I want to be with her?" He countered. "I've broken up with her!"

Because of the lack of sleep for the whole night, his eyes were red. His face was not looking so good. He had to be here and there and think about everything all at once. It was a complete chaos inside his mind and now Y/N started accusing him?

Y/N chuckled a mocking laugh. "Yeah, right."

He entered an agitated state, he could not think straight. Her accusing tone put him on edge. "You don't believe me?" He stretched his hands to hold hers.

Y/N didn't like Jimin touching her, so she tried to shake her hands from his grasp and frowned. "Right, I don't believe you."

Jimin worried that her action might hurt herself so he let her hands go. "Why don't you believe me? What should I do to make you believe me?" He demanded in a furious tone but his eyes reflected fear.

She was exhausted, she almost lost her baby. If she lost the baby then what would happen to Joon Min? What would happen to her? It would definitely drive her crazy.

Ultimately this time, she was the third party. Her fans told her if she lost her baby, Jimin would return to Seulgi's side, so she purposely pushed her, laughed at her, and said that she deserved it.

Of course she was frightened. She was afraid of losing her baby and also herself in the process. Y/N didn't want to experience that kind of fear ever again. She must let him go.

Y/N rubbed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. "Do you still remember when you promised me you already broke up with Seulgi and I said that you don't need to promise me?"

Jimin's eyes squinted with confusion but he nodded. He clutched his sweaty hands. His palms were sweaty because of his edginess and insecurity. At this moment, all he knew was that he didn't want her to leave him.

"A man's promise is unreliable. My Pa has promised a lot of things to my Ma. But in the end, they were just empty promises. Worthless and meaningless." She tried to make light of the subject but her voice sounded sad.

What? His eyes widened at her words, and he could not stop staring at her with shock. "Are you comparing me to your father?" He never expected her to tell him that. "I am not the same as Song Jun Seo!" He added to his defense. He inhaled a deep, steady breath and tried to control his temper.

How could she compare him with her father? Jimin was growing more frustrated with the matter, becoming short-tempered with every minute that passed.

"You are like him. You don't want to divorce me but you also don't want to let Seulgi go."

"I'm going to say it one more time. I already cut my relationship with her since we got back from Jeju! I thought I made that clear to you already." He breathed.

He tried to settle down his anger, but he kept getting mad all over again because she didn't trust him.

Moreover, now she wanted to divorce him! It was not only a threat, she already got the paper ready, and even signed it.

Y/N's shoulders slouched. She looked frustrated as she looked up again. Hurt and sadness showed from her eyes. "That night when I cooked for you, you didn't even eat it and just left. You said you had important work but you lied to me. It was Seulgi."

Jimin was startled, he had no idea that Y/N knew.

"Hear me out..."

Y/N coldly interrupted him: "No, you hear me out!" Y/N refused to listen to his explanation. "You don't need to deny it anymore. Perhaps you didn't realize that you had her scent all over your body that night. Fragrance is not transferable unless the two of you were not in close interaction." She slowly raised her head to gaze at him.

"At first, I just thought the scent was familiar but I couldn't recognize it. Just yesterday I found out it was hers. I could smell it on that girl who pushed me, she told me she wore the same fragrance as her." She added.

"You lied to me, you went to Seulgi."

She looked back up at him, staring directly in his eyes. "I didn't want to know what the two of you were doing or what happened that night. But Jimin, I am scared. I am scared to lose my baby. I am scared to lose Joon Min. I don't want this to happen again. Let's get a divorce, okay? You can do anything you want, if you are indecisive, then let me help you make the decision."

"I already told you, don't you dare to think about divorce!" Jimin's voice was low and direct.

He massaged his temple. His eyes seemed a touch hurt and disappointed. "It was not like you think. She had dinner with investors and directors, and she asked me to come. I just wanted to help."

"Right, because you have a guilty feeling toward her. That's why you should help her." Y/N chuckled. Her heart could not take it anymore.

His breathing deepened. He felt that anxious feeling in his chest. "Y/N, don't use that tone when you speak to me." Jimin's voice sounded harsh, but he was probably trying to mask the distress in his voice.

"Then what tone should I use?" She asked. "Park Jimin, you are so self-entitled. You always think you can control everything. Perhaps it was because your upbringing made you feel like everyone would always obey you. Do you think that all of your actions are right? So are you planning to keep seeing her behind my back and let this happen again?"

His body grew weak as he stared at her. "This won't happen again." Jimin sat on the bedside and hugged her. "I am sorry, Y/N. You can do anything to me but you can't divorce me. You can't leave me." He begged.

Y/N struggled to break free from his embrace but he clutched both of her hands. He rested his forehead on hers. "Do you know how scared I am to lose you?"

She started to open her mouth, but she could say nothing to counter the sadness in his voice.

"It was my fault, I didn't think it through, it was like a time bomb. Yes, I had some guilty feelings toward her so I agreed to her condition. I thought it was the best for everyone." He paused to breathe. "That night, I accompanied her to attend a business dinner meeting. Her scent was on me because she was drunk so I sent her home."

Jimin inhaled a deep, steady breath and tried to control his temper. He raised his head and stared at her. His eyes lingered on her for seconds. "Y/N, I didn't do anything with her. I will give a public statement about our separation and I will never see her again. Don't divorce me, please Y/N."

Probably in this lifetime, it was the first time Park Jimin became submissive to someone. All his life, everything was easy for him as he always got whatever he wanted. People would say yes to everything he said. Not even an hour ago, he got people on their knees begging him.

Never in a million years did he expect that there would be a day when he begged someone to not leave him.

Y/N stayed silent. She never expected his eyes to look sad. They made her want to touch him, to hug him. But her heart was breaking.

"Give me one more chance, last chance."

Looking at how silent she was, he placed his hand on her belly and stroked it gently. "I promised to accompany her as she grows up, you don't want her to grow up without her father right? If we divorce, what about our Joonie? He would have preferred to have his father and mother beside him."

He lowered his head, sticking his ear onto her belly. "The baby just told me to not divorce her father."

Y/N pushed his shoulder and said: "Nonsense, she is just a fetus. How could she say something like that?"

"I can understand her words, really." Jimin raised his head from her belly. Jimin leaned toward her and lifted her chin. His fingers were gentle; however, his expression grew solemn. "Y/N, give me one more chance. Just one more chance, please."

His fingers were touching her chin. She could actually feel his breath against her face. It made her flush as a slight chill ran down her neck. She knew he was serious by his agitated tone.

He leaned on her shoulder and kissed her neck.

A slight gasp escaped her mouth at his action. "Jimin, what are you doing? How can you be this shameless?"

"Well, if you don't agree with me, I could be even more shameless."

"..."

Even though she already knew this side of him, she could not help but wonder how this cold and desolated man could turn into a shameless one.

Y/N took a deep breath in and exhaled. "Jimin, don't you ever lie to me again. Whatever you do, never lie to me. I don't want this to ever happen again. Do you understand?"

Jimin's eyes lit up with excitement, he quickly nodded. "I do understand." He clutched her hands and put them in front of his chest. His lips captivated her mouth with several gentle kisses.

His hands held her cheeks. "Promise me that you will never mention about divorcing me again."

She gazed at the scraps of paper on the ground. "Let me consider."

Jimin's smile vanished when he heard her. "No need to consider. I guarantee this won't happen again." Anxiety crept into his mind. He did not like the uncertainty in her words. She made him uneasy. He needed to hear a clear answer.

"Y/N, just give him one more chance." Grandma said.

She was startled. None of them noticed her presence. "Grandma." Shin Ji and Krystal were also there.

Jimin was happy that Grandma was here to help him. He looked at her with hopeful eyes. But Grandma rolled her eyes. "Don't look at me like that. I do this for the sake of my two beloved great-grandchildren. If not, I would've let her divorce you from the beginning!"

He sulked but continued to caress Y/N hands.

Grandma walked toward the bed side and sat on the chair. "This time indeed it was Jimin's mistake. He should've announced his break up with that singer. If he did, perhaps this wouldn't happen. I have already scolded him yesterday. He knew that he was wrong. Just give him one more chance."

"If he messes up again, I won't let him off easy. Okay?" Grandma patted her shoulder.

All of them stared at Y/N intensely, waiting for an answer. Especially Jimin, he couldn't breathe in anticipation.

She squeezed her eyes shut for a second and then stared at the window. Finally she nodded.

Jimin held her hands tighter, he didn't want her to regret her decision. "You won't regret it."

Grandma shifted her gaze to her grandson. "Then you should keep your promise. This situation scares you, right? If this ever happens again, let's see how you handle it!"

"Since you already broke up with that singer, you shouldn't meet her again. You knew that she clearly still has heart for you. You give her chances to keep you in her life, how can she let you go if she thinks she still has hope?"

"And about the business dinner meeting with film directors and investors, you should've just let Kim Taehyung handle it. Isn't he your assistant? His appearance would be able to represent you. If it wouldn't do then you could just give them a call. You should never have attended that dinner." Grandma glared at him.

She continued to scold him harshly. "This time, you should regard it as your luck because they were able to save Y/N and the baby. If something bad happened to them, not only Y/N but I wouldn't let you off easy!"

"Give me the details about this accident immediately. Do they think that we, the Parks, are easy to bully?" She scoffed.

"I already handled it, Grandma. I will give you the details as soon as possible." Jimin said in his lower voice.

Grandma remembered one more thing. "Regarding your relationship with that singer, tomorrow you need to give a public statement that you two had split up."

He nodded. Without the reminder, he already planned it. He wouldn't let this happen again.


The incident of Y/N being pushed by Seulgi's fan was popular on the internet, it had been a trending topic since it happened.

Now, Kim Seulgi was regarded as a target of public criticism.

A lot of people accused her of purposely asking her fans to push Y/N. They said she was a cruel woman and wasn't suitable to become their goddess anymore. She was in the same situation as Y/N in the past. The tables had turned.

Because she was a public figure, she couldn't have a controversy like this. She received a lot of backlash when she made a mistake. It was hard to get a public apology.

Due to public demand for an official statement of what happened, she deliberately held a press conference to explain anything. She said that the fan who did it was mentally ill. The accident was unrelated to her, it was the willing act of the fan alone. She also mentioned that the police were also investigating this matter. She believed it would give her justice.

But even after her press conference, the general public was not convinced; they were doubting her. Most of them still thought she was the mastermind of this so-called accident.
