From: Jin 💜

Let's meet at xxxxx xxxxx tomorrow 6pm. We should talk.

Taehyung is surely awake when he read the message but he still can't believe it because anything that has something to do with Jin feels like fantasy to him.

He just stared at his phone for the millionth time since yesterday and he can still see the message unlike what happened days ago with his imaginations.

"Are you sure, Jin? Aren't you gonna cry when you see this face again? I only give you nothing but hurt. Why would you want to see me?"

He checked the time, it's 5:00 pm already an hour left. He is contemplating of he should come or not. Is this real or not?

Taehyung doesn't really know but to hell with it, imagination or not, he is going! He took a bath and put on a nice shirt, shaved his growing mustache and sprayed perfume.

When he looked at the mirror he is satisfied, he looked his best after a long time and if it's not a dream, he'll get to see Jin again and talk to him.

He reached their meeting place at exactly 6:00pm and he saw Jin already sitting there.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Taehyung said.

"No, it's okay just in time."

The atmosphere between the two was very awkward Taehyung can tell that by the way Jin is not making eye contact between them which is so understandable because he's Taehyung, the one who hurt Seokjin so much. That alone is a great reason not to look at him.

"What do you want Taehyung? Have you had your dinner?" Seokjin said.

"I'm good. What are we going to talk about?"

Not to sound like he's rushing and doesn't want to talk to Jin, not it's not that, it's because he can't stand another moment with him because he knows that Seokjin is hurting just by seeing him.

"I wanted to talk to you about us. In a more matured way no yelling no one's turning back from another and we will talk."

Taehyung nodded. He has no choice this time will surely come. They needed to talk like adults and settle this.

"What do you want to say, Jin? I don't know how to start or what to hear or what you want from me. I'm sorry I'm like this I just really don't know what to say and how to start I uhm-" He was about to just ramble and talk and talk and talk until Jin stopped him.

"I don't know it either Taehyung."

He stopped blabbering and both of them just looked directly in each other's eyes. Nobody talked for a couple of seconds that seemed to be longer for the two of them.

Taehyung surely has his mouth hanging open in the air as he looked at Seokjin who is just sitting there properly.

Deafening silence, that's all there is. The noise of other costumers at that shop not seemed to matter at all because they are both lost at the moment until Seokjin broke it.

"Why did you do that to me back then?"

He dropped the question that even himself he has no answer. To say that he is stupid is just a way of dodging the question.

He knew Jin well and Jin is asking for the specifics of what went wrong and what he saw in Irene that he Jin can't give.

"I don't know, Jin."

"You know it. You do, say it."

He breathed out and spoke,"Trust me this is not enough reason to cheat but maybe because of familiarity. She's there in my workplace so young and pretty something new and a challenge. I didn't noticed at first that I'm lusting over her until my time was all poured out on her and I did what I shouldn't have done. I cheated on us, I cheated on you just because of a petty reason.

I thought you're not attractive enough unlike before and you lost your time for me that when I went home everything is scheduled everything has a process and designated place. I failed to see how hard you worked for me, for us to keep pur home and believe me or not I'm terribly sorry that I did those things to you.

I didn't mean to scare you away that night, I thought you are just kidding and the wounds you've got were not that deep but I was so so wrong. And I'm really sorry. I am not asking you to forgive me but I just wanted you to know that I am regretting every second of it now.

I'm sorry if I am ruining our family. I am the root cause of all of these and if you are here to talk to me for divorce because you and Namjoon will build a family together, it's okay. Just hand me the papers and allow me to visit our son once in a while."

His long speech was not interrupted and Seokjin just looks at him listening to his every word.

"Then hear me too."

He nodded and Seokjin proceeded on talking.

"Hearing you say those reasons of why you cheated on me hurts it really does. Did you know how much effort and love I have poured out while wearing myself out just for you and Taehyun to live in a house where you can be safe and call it a home? Did you think that I wanted to lose my time and not give you even just a bit of it?

You know how much I love you Taehyung, of all people you know it. I long to be beside you any chance I get but we both have responsibilities as parents, as adults and we can't ditch those responsibilities just to sit and cuddle. The world doesn't revolve around us, Taehyung. We need to move or we'll get left behind and we won't see what was lost because we're too caught up in each other's arms.

Yes I've lost time to take care of my appearance and I have neglected you most of the time and most especially I'm boring. I admit all of that but that's not enough reason for you to cheat on me.

You could've told me that you wanted this and you wanted me to be like that then we could've explored together, we can be spontaneous together not like this."

"But I did tried to talk to you about it but you always shut me out, I told you we should get a maid to help you in the house so you can rest and spend time with me and Taehyun you didn't liked the idea and shut me out again and when we are in bed you won't let me do what I wanted to try even just for once, Jin. I'm not saying that what I did was right, all I'm saying is I told you those things but we lacked team work and looked past to what each of us think and needs."

Taehyung was surprised at how both of them are calmed down and just explaining things with each other and not imposing and is not talking to accuse the other.

"I know, I realized that when you said it now. But still you should've made ma understand not to replace me with someone else."

Jin looked away from him again and was about to cry.

"Jin, don't cry."

"Sorry, can't help it."

He handed Jin a hanky and the other took it to wipe his tears away.

"But Taehyung it's not just you who committed a mistake. I did those things too. I had Namjoon while I'm still married to you and that still counts as cheating. I thought hurting you would heal me but what I did just worsened the situation, I scarred our child and made the situation messier."

"Don't say sorry, Jin it's okay I understand you and I'm not blaming you for anything. It's me. Just me, you did not do anything wrong. Taehyun that night was just curious about things he is not taking it against you, I'm sure of that."

Seokjin shook his head.

"Yes he is not blaming me for cheating on you but he is mad at us because he has no family to come home to. He is always sad about the fact that we're not okay and as a parent it breaks my heart seeing him like that. He doesn't want to eat and won't talk to anyone. My baby is just four years old, he doesn't deserve to be in this kind of pain. If only we are better people, better parents and better husbands then none of this would ever happen."

Taehyung is now also crying along with Jin hearing how hard the blow of the situation to their son.

"How are we going to fix this Jin?" He said in between sobs.

"We need to tell him the truth and part ways. Our relationship? I don't know. Let's see where this leads us. I don't want to hope for us to get together again so I'm keeping my hopes down."

Taehyung was perplexed. He did not expected that.

"Do you think this will really help our son?"

"No. But he's just a kid he'll get over it as he grows up."

Taehyung had no choice but to agree they are parting ways and he doesn't know if he can take it.
