Due to the contractions Taehyung had, he was adviced to stay in the hospital- but in a more secured and special ward. It didn't really make him feel safe as he was too traumatized about what happened to him, but Yoongi and Jimin came to watch over him whenever Jungkook had to 'deal' with things he doesn't know about.

"Taetae, I'm sorry.." Yoongi whispers, holding the wolf's hand. "I didn't mean to cause the accident, please believe me- I was looking for you- I wasn't ready for it.." He tries to explain, hoping that he would be forgiven.

"Hyung.." Taehyung pouts, "Why are you sorry? It's not your fault.. I was there on the accident, and I clearly remember that the driver turned the car the moment he saw a car speed up our way.." Recalling the event made him shiver, it sent goosebumps to him- it was too scary to be forgotten, too bitter to be remembered.

Jimin sighs worriedly. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't there, Tae. I should've went along with you, just so I can protect you.." He also added, but the omega then again shooked his head.

"Hyungies? Please don't blame yourselves, it pains me to see you both apologize for something that isn't your doing." He looks away, taking deep breaths. "If someone has to pay, that's not you nor Jimin. It's Jiwoo." Flashbacks started to hit him, he hated to mention her name, as it gave him bad memories- it made him cry nonstop, hell he didn't have the best sleeps anymore just because he gets the same nightmare of him dying.

"Tae, you're crying again." Yoongi sighs, worried as he wipes his tears again. "Remember what Seokjin said? You have to stay happy so that it wouldn't affect you and your baby." The omega nods, trying to keep the noises down.

"I just miss kookie." He excused, smiling after that never failed to make the two mates laugh. "You have seen him just a few hours ago, you're being silly." Jimin teased, with Taehyung blushing.

"Why is he always out? He barely spends the night here with me." Taehyung asks, sulking as Jungkook would always tell him not to worry about anything- though he was just curious on what he's doing.

"I heard from Mingyu that he is fixing his schedules, aswell as facing the police to talk over the incident both from the car and here." Yoongi explains carefully, not wanting to overwhelm the wolf. "Maybe that's why he never told you anything, it will just worry you."

"But what about the evidences, hyung?" Taehyung raises an eyebrow, confused. "I am the main witness, you too. How come the police never questioned me."

Yoongi glances to Jimin, who gave him a nod before averting their gaze back to the wolf on the bed. "Jungkook met with the witness, the main witness who held the important evidences that can make Jiwoo pay."

"Who?" Taehyung couldn't help but ask, eyebrows furrowed as he tries to find the answer through the eyes of Yoongi. The alpha shakes his head a little before the door creaks open.

"Sunbaenim." It was none other than Hoseok. He stood by the door with his head hung low- too guilty to even look up.

"Why are you here." Taehyung says, averting his gaze to the other side, facing the large window that exposed the outside buildings opposite to the hospital. "I don't wanna see you."

"Tae.." Jimin taps his leg softly. "I think he came here for another reason." He tries to explain, but Taehyung was stubborn- too stubborn that he kept himself quiet, a sign that he was uninterested.

"I came here not to cause another issue." Hoseok finally spoke. "I came here as a friend who would want to apologize, not as a dispatch employee."

Taehyung huffs, still not in the mood to speak. Though he listened carefully to what he said. "I am what Yoongi told you about. The main witness and evidence holder." He spills, "I'm so sorry that I haven't stopped- that I wasn't able to prevent this all from happening. I'm sorry if I thought of it too late."

Upon hearing his sudden confession, Taehyung sighs- slowly turning his attention to Hoseok who still stood by the door. He looked uneasy, as if he was nervous to be yelled at. "What made you think of being on our side?"

"I-I wanted to do what's right. I couldn't live with the conscience I am feeling, it hurts me to think I am the bad person." Hoseok explains, gulping.

Taehyung pursed his lips, caressing his bump to calm himself down and that he should be taking this slowly. "Stop standing there, come here and let's talk, shall we?" He smiles a little, looking at Yoongi and Jimin who nodded their heads as an encouragement. They stood up, sitting by the couch the large ward provided and distracted themselves by watching whatever the television was airing.

Hoseok took Yoongi's seat, adjusting a little so he could face him well. "I'm sorry, I know you won't forgive me easily for the things I did-- but please remember I also turned the evidence to the authorities."

The omega nods, "You're right. I couldn't forgive you easily, but I am happy you apologized and did what's right. Without you doing this, we might have been through alot more things." He takes a hold of Hoseok's hand, squeezing it but not too tight. "I am sorry for bursting out a few days ago. I was just, surprised about seeing you again."

"I deserved it. It made me reflect everything I have done so far." Hoseok shakes his head, finally looking up to meet Taehyung's eyes.

"Remember Seokie. Money isn't the solution to everything. It's better to earn it rather than to do something mean to others as an exchange." The beta nods, understanding what he said to which made him smile wide. "Let's be friends again?"

"Thank you." Hoseok bows his head. "No problem Seokie. But can I ask you something?" Taehyung sighs, not wanting to ruin the mood.

"I want to know what happened before this even started." Hoseok looked as if he was in disbelief, but nodded his head slowly. "You have the right to know.. After all."

"I-I don't wanna see you anymore!" Taehyung suddenly cried, broken from the sudden sight of Jungkook with a girl.

"Wait! Tae!" Jungkook gasps, standing up but was stopped midway by Jiwoo. "Who was he? Is he your mate?"

It was the time where Taehyung had met Jiwoo for the very first time at the coffee shop, due to his suspicions.

"We'll talk next time, Jiwoo. My mate needs me." He says, pulling his arm away to chase after Taehyung.

Only then, it was the start of something she wasn't supposed to be involved in.

It had been a tough challenge for Hoseok to begin with. He was having a nice day just doing articles for dispatch- mostly for models and not for stalking anymore when he suddenly got a call.

"How did you know about my incident with Taehyung and Jungkook sunbaenim?" Hoseok was confused, apart from not even knowing who 'Jiwoo' was.

"That's for me to know. All I want is for you to look after the two again, see me every now and then just so I can clarify what I am not aware about." Jiwoo says, as Jungkook wasn't able to contact him for a long while.

"But I couldn't do that.. I am not in that position anymore. My boss--"

"I double your pay. Now do your job good."

At first, Hoseok never agreed even if it was for the money being doubled. It wasn't a valid reason to stalk the two, most especially if he gets caught fast.

That was until Jiwoo's confrontation with Soyeon.

"Ah, so you have heard of it too." Soyeon raises an eyebrow upon looking at Hoseok who had no choice but to join them. "Even hired someone to stalk them?"

"I just want to know who Taehyung is to him. He seems to be an important person to his life, maybe I am just too curious."

"Or maybe you, darling- is scared." Soyeon grins, with the dom beta raising an eyebrow at her. "Why would I be?"

"Oh no no, don't dare speak to me like that. Upon knowing you as his sister made me mad- but then again I will have to accept you like my family right?"

"I am not asking nor begging for your acceptance. So please, just tell me who he is?"

"Oh you still sound desperate." A sarcastic laugh left Soyeon's mouth. "A long lost sister of his, unable to be with him as he grew up. You missed him, surely- and maybe you would want to spend the time with him yet he was too blinded by someone else."

"Someone so undeserving, unworthy and filthy." She sounded harsh, as if she had a huge grudge against the poor omega mentioned to their topic.

"What the hell do you mean?" Jiwoo, though relating to what she said, spat as she was still confused.

"Taehyung is his mate. Fated mate. Perhaps he was now in the stage of having their mate baby, another reason for him to become so distant to you." Soyeon sighs, dramatic as she looks at Jiwoo in the eye.

"To be honest, I pity you. For being like this, confused and pained as you long for the time to spend with your brother. Now he is just there, knowing you yet too busy with Taehyung." She continued, making Jiwoo somehow feel guilt.

Manipulated and twisted into a bigger misunderstanding.

"Let me help you, Jiwoo." Soyeon offered, sparking the beta's interest as Hoseok's eyes widens a little, trying to listen very carefully.

"If I couldn't seperate them, maybe you can. We can work this thing together and maybe-- Jungkook would turn to us and not to Taehyung."

Jiwoo was too blinded. She hated the fact that Jungkook wouldn't even spend enough time with her. It wad a stupid manipulation that she fell hard for.

Not even knowing what she have done, nor what she had turned herself into.

"Let's get rid of Taehyung." Soyeon grins. "By then, we wouldn't have any problems- as long as we keep our hands clean."

Hoseok was then spared a glance, that intimidated him enough to just stay still and be quiet. It took a few seconds before Jiwoo sighs and nods her head.

"We have a deal, then."
