CHAPTER 42

You panicked instantly when you saw Taehyung on the other side of that door.

"Taehyung?" your voice quivered as pressure built in your ears. God knows for how long he stood there, watching Jungkook and you interact.

His had an indecipherable look on his face. You couldn't see any emotion in his eyes. You couldn't understand what he was thinking in that moment.

"Taehyung...?" you called for him again, making an indecisive step towards him. Behind you, Jungkook also froze, waiting for Taehyung's reaction. Any sort of reaction. Taehyung lifted his head slightly up, raising an eyebrow. His jaw clenched.

He knew.

You knew that he knew.

The look that he gave you made you understand that.

You gulped.

"Taehyung, listen..." you started to walk slowly towards him "whatever you may think now, I can assure you that-".

"How long have you been cheating on me?" his voice interrupted you.

His voice pierced through you like a thousand knives.

"Tae please...I didn't".

"For how long have you been fucking him?" his voice was low and his tone cold. "Answer me!" he yelled, making you flinch.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry Tae" you sobbed.

"You told me that nothing was going on between you two. You told me that I was crazy for even thinking about it" he squinted his eyes "How many times? Hm?".

"Please..." you cried.

"How many times Y/n? How many times did you drag yourself back into my bed after leaving his?".

"Taehyung" Jungkook tried to intervene.

"Shut up! Shut. The fuck. Up!" Taehyung crossed the distance between him and Jungkook, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

"Taehyung!" you yelled in between tears.

"You son of a bitch. I could kill you" Taehyung threatened him through his teeth.

"You fucked her like you fuck your other girls?" Taehyung's low voice was menacing.

Jungkook tried to stay calm not to provoke Taehyung furthermore.

"Taehyung, let him go" you tried to reason with him.

"Stay out of this" he warned you.

"I wasn't like that. I needed her and she needed me" Jungkook said.

"If you could just let him go so that we could talk about this" you tried to ask him again.

Taehyung gave you a look so cold it made your breath stop in your throat. He grinned as he let go of Jungkook's shirt.

" It must've been a lot of work" Taehyung sneered, walking towards you " to keep in track of everything and everyone just for the two of you to fuck" he looked at you both.

"I'm sorry" you said again whimpering " I really wanted to tell you. I knew you were going to be devastated and I was waiting for the right moment. I'm sorry Taehyung. I never meant to hurt you" you continued " I know it's the worst thing I could've done to you and that nothing could make-".

"How long has this been going on?" he interrupted you " fucking each other long enough behind my back?" Taehyung was visibly upset. Angry and sad. Sad and angry. You could see those emotions alternating in his eyes.

"Has he fucked you at his place? Or at your house?" Taehyung titled his head "Or do you prefer fucking in here?".

"Pease. Don't" you said after recomposing yourself a bit.

"Does he fuck you all night long?" he taunted you.

Those words stung you badly.

"Don't make it worse" you said.

"Oh I'm not the one making things worse!" Taehyung chuckled " I'm one hundred percent sure that that's on you. You made it worse when you decided to fuck my friend" Taehyung raised his voice again.

"I know you're upset".

"You think?!" Taehyung laughed in disbelief. "Y/n..." he paused before asking "Why?".

There it was.

In that word were gathered all of Taehyung's emotions. He couldn't explain it to himself. His mind couldn't process what he had just discovered.

"I mean...I don't understand" he shook his head " I love you. I love you and you reject me. And for what? For him?" Taehyung squinted his eyes in Jungkook's direction.

"Don't you love me?".

"Taehyung..." it took all the strength inside of you to say the next words " I have so much admiration for you. I appreciate everything that you did for me" you paused in order for your tears not to run down your cheeks "and I know that I didn't deserve half of it but..." you tilted your head as sadness overflowed your eyes "I love him".

You could see the pain Taehyung felt when those words reached him. His eyes widened at the sound of that. Pressure built in his ears, overwhelming him. He felt played, he felt humiliated, he felt betrayed.

He was heartbroken.

Taehyung's face contorted into a disgusted grimace before glancing at Jungkook.

He was just standing there, listening to Taehyung and you fight.

He couldn't help feeling sorry for Taehyung; seeing the evidence of how much you've hurt him on his expression made Jungkook's heart ache. He knew that what you did was despicable. That he was a bad person and even a worse friend. Taehyung didn't deserve it. Any of it. Jungkook hurt Taehyung and took advantage of their friendship. And for that he resented himself. So he didn't even flinch when Taehyung grabbed him again by his collar. He didn't fight back even when he pinned him against the wall and landed a punch. Jungkook didn't want to fight. He deserved it all, he thought.

"Stop!" you screamed, trying to pull Taehyung away from Jungkook "Stop. Please stop!" you yelled.

But Taehyung didn't stop. He punched Jungkook again and again. Over and over.

"Taehyung!" you grabbed him by the arm but he shook you off.

"Jungkook!" you tried to get in between. "Please Jungkook. No" you cried. "Someone please help me!".

The commotion was loud enough for everyone on the floor to rush into Jungkook's office.

"Taehyung!" Namjoon was the first one to arrive. He didn't wait a single second before rushing to aid you, trying to divide them.

Hoseok ran into the office as soon as he heard someone screaming.

"What is going on?!" he yelled in shock before reaching Namjoon.

"I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!" Taehyung was threatening Jungkook.

"Please. Get him off of him. Now!" you screamed in between your sobs.

As all the screams blended into one loud noise, in all that chaos you couldn't hear Jisoo shouting at you to get out of there.

"Y/n, you're pregnant!" she pulled you away from everyone.

It was only when Taehyung saw Jisoo's hand on your belly he stopped. It didn't even occur to him up until now. He was blinded by so much rage he didn't even stop to consider it.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" Hoseok shouted at him as soon as Taehyung calmed a bit, helping Jungkook stand up in the process.

"Y/n..." he instead called for your name. His breathing was shaky but his voice steady.

"I'm only going to ask you once. And I need the truth" his gaze was fixed into yours.

"Is the baby his, Y/n?".

Silence fell upon the room. Suddenly, everyone went silent when Taehyung asked you that question.

Your lower lips started to tremble, unable to hold his gaze you lowered your head.

It was humiliating. Everyone was witnessing those events unfold.

"Can...can we please talk about this outside?" you dared to ask, lifting your gaze up.

"No! Answer me now!" Taehyung's heart began to beat faster. In a matter of minutes his future shattered and he witnessed it crumble.

"I...I don't know" finally you answered.

Taehyung stopped breathing along with everyone else in that room.

He ran his hands through his hair and, after seconds that seemed hours to you he said " I want a paternity test".

You nodded "I know, I was planning to go to the clinic this week".

"You better pray to God that this child is his" he pointed at Jungkook " because if it isn't..." he sneered " If it's mine I'm going to make sure that you never see it again after they're born. I'm going to hire every lawyer in this country if it's necessary. I am going to do whatever it takes to take this child away from you and I'm going to make a living hell out of your life because that's what you deserve" he said " You won't be able to lay as much of a glance at this child" he threatened you.

"You can't do that" you shook your head. You've never seen so much darkness in his eyes. The way that his orbs were fixed on you made you understand that he was dead serious. And that was frightening.

"Oh but I can" he assured you " Y/n...you don't seem to understand. You don't make the rules here anymore. I do...and you" he turned to Jungkook " you better lawyer the fuck up because I'll be coming for your share of the company. I'll crush you and take everything that you own..." he stopped for a second " so that you know what it feels like".

"Fuck this" he then shook his head, backing all the way to the door " You two assholes deserve each other. I'm better than this" Taehyung said before exiting Jungkook's office, leaving everyone in dead silence.

As soon as he went away, you rushed to aid Jungkook. You held him up with your weight and wiped away the blood off his face.

"What the actual fuck?" Hoseok ran his hand through his hair, still in shock after what he'd witnessed.

"Show is over everyone. Get back to work" Namjoon cleared the room, leaving you, Jungkook, Jisoo, Hoseok and him inside.

"Are you okay?" Namjoon placed his hand on Jungkook's shoulder " lets get you to the ER".

"I'm fine" Jungkook wiped the blood running down his nose.

"You're not fine. Let me take you to-".

"I said I'm fine, Namjoon" Jungkook rigidly said.

"Ehm...excuse me? What. The. Fuck?" Hoseok interfered, asking for some kind of explanation.

"Not now, Hoseok" Namjoon tried to dismiss him but failed.

"Not now? Not now?! Did you hear what I heard?" Hoseok asked Namjoon in disbelief. " Y/n is pregnant with Jungkook's child for fuck's sake!".

"Hoseok, not now" Namjoon was helping Jungkook stand on his feet. But Hoseok didn't listen. He didn't care.

"How could you?" Hoseok asked Jungkook "Both of you..." he murmured.

"Hoseok, I don't need this right now" Jungkook said.

"Jisoo, take Hoseok out of here" Namjoon urged her.

"Come on Hobi, lets go" she took his hand.

Hoseok scoffed but nonetheless followed Jisoo out.

Namjoon and you helped Jungkook sit on one of his chairs.

"I'm going to get some ice from the kitchen" Namjoon said to you right before leaving.

"I'm sorry" you sat next to him "I hate seeing you like this" your voice trembled as you gently moved the strings of hair away from his forehead.

"Its fine" he smiled while resting his head against the backrest, looking up "Are you okay?".

"Are you seriously concerned about me when you look like this?" you chuckled right before frowning "I think you'll need stitches".

"I'll be fine" he reassured you "But I am concerned about you" his eyes met yours "are you sure you're okay?".

"I don't know" you sighed "I feel tired" you rubbed your temples.

All that crying and screaming drained you. You were feeling numb and for the time being you liked it.

Your mind traveled to the last things Taehyung said. Instinctively, you placed your hand on your belly.

"Everything is going to be fine" Jungkook squeezed your hand once he saw your preoccupied expression.

"You don't know that" you looked down at the floor "You heard what he said. If this baby is his he will take him or her away from me". It was like someone had grabbed you by your throat when you thought of that. You didn't know this little creature growing inside of you and yet the thought of you living your life away from them made your insides turn.

"That's not going to happen. I promise you that" Jungkook intertwined your fingers with his.

"How can you be so sure?" you asked him.

"Well..." Jungkook paused " what are the chances of him being the father?".

You bit your lip. You've done the math inside your head dozens of times by now. By the weeks you were pregnant you figured it had have happened around the time Taehyung and you made up. Around Jin and Jisoo's wedding. Give or take. So the chances of ether one of them being the father were pretty high.

"I don't know, Jungkook" you sighed. You didn't know what to think. What to hope for.

For the longest time you wanted this baby to be Taehyung's that you didn't even consider the other option.

Jungkook nodded. "I see. Well as I already said, I intend to be a part of the baby's life if its mine".

"I know" your lips curved into a tiny smile.

You waited for Namjoon to return and then both of you escorted Jungkook to the ER. Like you predicted, he needed some stitches.

You waited with him the entire time Jungkook was at the hospital. Both Namjoon and you.

After Namjoon drove off Jungkook at his place he offered to take you home. It was only then when you realized that you didn't know where to go.

"You can stay at my place for the night" Namjoon offered.

"That's very kind of you but I wouldn't want to impose" you explained. It was enough that you caused trouble between Jungkook and the others. You didn't want to put Namjoon into an awkward situation as well.

"Nonsense. You don't have anywhere else to go. The least I can do is to offer you a spare room at my house" he smiled in a reassuring way.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?".

Namjoon shrugged his shoulders " Because you need help right now" he simply said.

" And although the things you did were seriously messed up, I don't think you're a bad person Y/n. I think that you just kind of lost track of everything but I don't necessarily think that you did anything to spite anyone" he started the engine "you just fell in love".

Hearing Namjoon say that made you feel a little bit better about yourself. You've spent an insurmountable amount of time hating yourself that you forgot how good it felt to feel light.

"Which was stupid, don't get me wrong" Namjoon smiled at you "but its not that bad at the end of the day".

"Thank you".

"Of course. All you need now is a good night's sleep and tomorrow it will be a little bit better, you'll see".

The next day you went to the clinic to take the paternity test.

Both Jungkook and Taehyung were there to give a sample of their DNA. They were waiting for you; each on opposite sides of the hallway. Jungkook was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed and his head resting against the concrete surface, his gaze up and his eyes closed. Taehyung was sitting on a chair; his legs spread and his arms crossed. Both looked at you when you arrived and neither said a word to you.

After taking a deep breath in, you sat on a chair waiting for your turn. Thankfully, it didn't take long and soon enough you were out of that place. All you had to do after was to wait for the results in the next twenty-four hours.

"How are you feeling?" Jisoo stopped by the hotel you checked yourself in. She wanted to keep you company during the time you were waiting for the results. She ordered in some food.

"I don't want to talk about it" you murmured from under the covers of your bed.

"Fine. Here, the food has arrived. What do you want to eat" she caressed you through your covers.

"I'm not hungry".

"Y/n..." Jisoo scolded you " you need to take care of yourself. When was the last time that you ate something?" she was genuinely concerned.

"I'm not hungry" you repeated.

"I don't care. You need to eat something" she took the covers right off of you " if not for yourself then for that poor baby".

Reluctantly, you sat up and took the plate from your friend's hands.

"There you go. Good girl" Jisoo patted you on your shoulder " I brought you some of your stuff. Taehyung gave them to me to bring you".

"Did you talk to him? How is he? He didn't say a word to me earlier this morning" you said as you stirred the soup that you had to eat.

"We didn't talk about any of it. But he seemed tired" Jisoo sighed " I didn't talk to Jungkook either but by the looks of it the others don't want anything to do with him..." she paused "...or you for that matter".

"I know. Namjoon was nice to me though".

"Namjoon always tries to do the right thing. The others...not so much" she shrugged her shoulders.

"You should've seen the look that Jimin gave me when he found out...or Hobi for that matter" your expression saddened.

"I know baby...I know" she caressed your head.

"What did Jin say?" you asked her.

"Jin isn't speaking to me. He got mad when I told him that I knew about Jungkook and you for a while now" Jisoo curled her lips.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry Jisoo. I swear I didn't mean for any of this to happen" you said.

"It okay. Its not that big of a deal" she reassured you " he'll get over it soon. For now we need to focus on something else" she smiled at you "here" she opened your laptop "lets binge something on Netflix".

You spent the rest of the day and the night in Jisoo's company, watching TV shows and eating.
You liked having her there. If it wasn't for her that day you would've probably lost your mind.
Somehow you managed to sleep as well, for the first time in God knows how long.

You felt rested that morning and almost forgot everything that had happened. Or at least that was the case until you received the results.

"The results've arrived" you woke Jisoo who was sleeping next to you.

"You want me to open them instead of you?" Jisoo immediately sat up, alert.

"No. Its fine. I'll do it" you shook your head.

"Whatever the results may be, it's going to be okay Y/n. I promise" Jisoo squeezed your hand.

"Here we go" you took a big breath, opening the email.
