Chapter 8

The tension in the house was palpable, and Taehyung couldn't take it any longer. He was feeling awful, Y/n was acting like he wasn't even there. He felt hurt and heartbroken. He doesn't even feel this way when Jungkook ignores him.

For a week, Y/n had been avoiding him. He had such a good time with him but now it was as if she'd built a wall between them.

Taehyung decided he couldn't let this continue. He was determined to uncover the reason behind Y/n's avoidance. He knew she was in the living room, engrossed in a book, her sanctuary of solitude.

Taking a deep breath, Taehyung concocted a plan. He dashed to the kitchen and began rummaging through the cabinets, creating an intentional mess. The clattering of pots and pans echoed through the house. He hoped this would draw Y/n's attention.

Sure enough, a few moments later, Y/n appeared at the kitchen's entrance, her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

"Taehyung, what are you doing?" she snapped, her eyes briefly meeting him before she looked away.

Taehyung feigned innocence, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh, Y/n, I was just trying to find something to cook for breakfast, but I seem to have made a mess. Can you help me?"

Y/n sighed, clearly torn between her frustration and her helpful nature. She hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding. "Fine, but only because I don't want you to burn the house down."

As they cleaned up the chaotic kitchen together, Taehyung seized the opportunity to break the ice.

"Y/n, about what happened between us that night?" he asked, his voice soft and earnest.

Y/n paused, her eyes locked on a stubborn stain she was scrubbing. "It's not you, Taehyung," she finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's me. I've been embarrassed about it, and I didn't know how to face you. I fcked up.",

"Yeah you didn't, It was a really special night for me." Taehyung said.

Y/n sighed and looked at him. "Taehyung, I was drunk, you have no idea how I feel right now, I can't even face your father. I feel so embarrassed."

Taehyung's heart sank as he realized the truth. He turned to her, gently tilting her chin to meet his gaze. "Y/n, We can work through it together. "

"I feel awful, I can't lie to him anymore, I'm gonna tell him everything." Y/n said.

Taehyung was actually happy, he wanted her to tell that to his father, so they both divorce.

"Okay, as you wish. Do you want me to talk to him too?" Taehyung asked.

"No, I fcked up so I will face that. And we should stay away from each other. It was never my intention to sleep with you."

The room was dimly lit, with a faint glow coming from the table lamp in the corner. Y/N sat nervously on the bed, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her sweater.

Her husband was working on his laptop.

" Taesuk, we need to talk. It's important."

Taesuk's smile faded as he sensed the gravity in her tone. He walked over and sat down next to her. He already noticed her unusual behavior, and now she was finally talking about it.

"What's wrong, Y/N? You look so serious." He closed his laptop and held her hand.

She didn't know how to even say it, but she knows she can't live without saying it.

"Taesuk, I... I made a terrible mistake while you were away. I cheated on you, and I'm so sorry." The room fell into a heavy silence as Taesuk absorbed her confession. Y/N felt a lump in her throat, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Y/N, I appreciate your honesty, but I need to understand. What happened? Why did you do this?" He asked.

She told him about what happened between her and Namjoon and then she went to a bar. She didn't take Taehyung's name because she didn't want to destroy their relationship. " I got really drunk, and one thing led to another. I don't even remember much of it, but it was a huge mistake, and I regret it so much."

Tears welled up in Taesuk's eyes, but he took a deep breath and reached for Y/N's hand, squeezing it gently. "Are you not happy with me?"

"No!" She cupped his face. "No, I fcking swear I didn't mean it, I never wanted it to happen. I am really happy with our marriage and you are an amazing husband. There is nothing more that I wish for,"

"Do you love someone else?" He asked.

"No, no, I don't love anyone. It was really a mistake." She told him, and he was silent

"Y/N, what you did was wrong, and it hurts, but I know that people can make mistakes. You're owning up to it, and that means a lot to me. I love you, and I don't want to throw away what we have because of one moment of weakness."

Y/n eyes got filled with tears, He helped her so much when she was going through a hard time she felt horrible. "I'm so, so sorry, Taesuk. I never meant to hurt you, and I'll do anything to make it right."

He smiled gently. "We'll work through this together. Let's seek counseling, rebuild trust, and make our relationship stronger. It won't be easy, but I believe in us."

Y/N nodded, tears still streaming down her face, overwhelmed by the understanding and forgiveness in Taesuk's eyes.

She hugged him. "I promise I will not gonna do this."

"I know. I trust you."
