Y/n wanted a big family, and he was more than happy to provide it for her. No other man was ever going to do for her, not on his watch.

He finished his coffee, which was instant and not nicely ground fresh coffee beans he preferred. A lesson learned and he'd buy the items to make his own. With the internet, everything was easily accessible to him.

Washing his cup, he smiled. He was even doing his own dishes; he normally had a cleaning maid for that task.

After everything was done, he glanced around the kitchen.

Y/n had already cleaned up, and just as he was about to go and find her, the doorbell rang.

Who could possibly be calling for her now?

This was his house too, and seeing no problem answering the door, he did so, only to come face to face with problem number one, Taehyung. The single dad, who stood on his fucking doorstep with a little too confident a smile for his liking.

"Hello," Jungkook said. He had to be polite to this fucker when all he wanted to do was let the guy know there was no chance in hell of getting with his woman.

"Hey, is, erm, is Y/n home?"

"Yeah, she is. Who are you?" Jungkook asked, playing along.

"Kim Taehyung , and you are?"

"I'm the husband."

"The husband?"

"You know Y/n is married, right? I'm sure she wouldn't leave that tiny insignificant detail out of the discussion."

"She said she was married, but it was complicated."

"Well complicated just returned."

"Taehyung, you're here. Damn, I thought I was ready in time," Y/n said, coming up behind him. "Jungkook, this is Taehyung. Taehyung, this is Jungkook, my husband. I have told you about him. Well he dropped by last night. Where's Billy?"

"He's in the car, waiting. We're still good for the day."

"Of course I'm not changing our plans. Jae eon is so excited about it. He's been talking all day about going to the museum. I've packed us a lunch."

"Wait, wait, what is going on here?" Jungkook asked. He didn't like feeling he was missing something, but he really was.

"Jae eon did tell you. We're taking him and Billy to the science museum. I booked a day off, and rearranged my schedule as did Taehyung. I did tell you all about this." She lied badly.

"Is there room for one more?" he asked. Jungkook wasn't allowing his wife or his son out of his sight for an entire day with this man.

Taehyung was smiling, but Jungkook saw he wasn't happy.

His assumptions about this man was spot on. Taehyung wanted Y/n, and you know what, it wasn't going to happen, not on his watch. He'd deal with this little ... problem. Y/n was always going to be his. The past five years had caused a setback but not one he thought they couldn't get over.

"Sure, I don't see why not," Taehyung said.

"Excellent."

He didn't need to go and grab anything. He'd already placed his jacket beside Y/n's. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he pulled her close, kissing her cheek. "Where's the picnic, I'll grab it?" he asked.

"In the living room," she said. "Let me help."

"I'll get Jae eon in the car," Taehyung said.

They walked into the living room, and Jungkook had a clear view of the man as he lifted Jae eon up into the car and strapped him in.

"What the hell are you doing?" Y/n asked.

"You really think I'd let you go alone with him for an entire day, knowing you want a divorce? I wasn't born yesterday."

"Nothing would ever happen, and you're being completely unreasonable."

"Oh, no, I'm being perfectly so. You're still my wife, and there's no way I'm letting that man raise my kid." He lifted the picnic. "You better accept I'm here to stay, sweetheart."

"You will get bored like you do with everything else. You think I haven't seen the newspapers with all the models and actresses? You move from one to the other. Just like you do in business. You never stay on the same course. I'm surprised you still want a space on my family's board. The moment you're done, you'll sell it and move on."

"Last time I checked, I didn't leave you. You left me."

"You could have made me stay. Let's face it, Jungkook, you're a damn good liar. All it would have taken was a few nice words and I'd have been yours, but you didn't want me. You got what you sort me out for, and I became old news. Do not ruin this day for Jae eon. He's been looking for Kim to it. Nothing is going on between Taehyung and me. Nothing ever will be going on between us. I can't do this now. Just try not to be an asshole."

She picked up a backpack and left the room.

He wasn't trying to be an asshole. It came naturally to him.

He grabbed the picnic, locked the doors, and followed them back to the car.

Y/n sat up front with dickhead, so he slid in beside his son, and had no choice but to watch Taehyung taking random glances at his woman, while also looking back at him.

Yeah, asshole, I'm watching you with my wife.

He wasn't going to let this man win. Even if he was a single dad, knew what he was doing, and Y/n seemed to like him.

Is this the man she wanted the divorce for, or someone to have sex with? He didn't like the way his thoughts were going, not over this, and it was a little alarming.

He would win her back. There was no way he could lose or fail. He'd given her all the space she thought she needed, and maybe five years was a long time to wait, but she'd been more than willing to run from him. She had needed time, but now, he couldn't help but wonder if he'd fucked up.

No, they had to have this break for her to get over her problems. There was no way he would lose her.

He'd never lost anything in his life, and he wasn't about to start now.

-

"Your husband, huh, I didn't know he was back in town," Taehyung said.

Y/n watched as Jungkook played with Jae eon and Billy at the park outside the museum. Much to her surprise, Jungkook had been on his best behavior, and if anything, he was rivaling Taehyung with his interest. He'd been the one to lead both boys around the museum, pointing out certain exhibits, and the kids just lapped it up.

Science was Jae eon and Billy's favorite topic. Most of the time it went right over her head, but she wanted to encourage her son to love what he learned and to find something he was passionate about.

"He did. I don't know how long he's going to stay, but Jae eon's happy for him to be here." She'd watched the big smile appear on her son's face as Jungkook walked down to breakfast rubbing at his stomach. He'd walked over to Jae eon, kissed his cheek, blown a raspberry on it, and moved to her. She'd dodged any kind of touch.

Last night, she hadn't had a very good sleep. The dreams she had, they weren't nightmares, but the sexual kind. The ones she rarely had, and when she did, it was hard for her to deal with, especially as Jungkook had the starring role.

How could she think of moving on when the very man she was trying to get away from, was the only one she craved and wanted? None of her feelings made any sense to her.

"He's good with the kids," Taehyung said.

"Yeah. Jae eon loves spending time with him. It'll be good to have his dad around."

She folded her arms across her chest, watching as Billy came down the slide, followed by Jae eon and at their backs, Jungkook.

He looked like a big kid, but as she knew from past experiences, she didn't know if this was an act, or genuine.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "You've seemed tense all day." Taehyung put his hand on her arm, and she forced a smile to her lips. The last thing she wanted was Jungkook to react to Taehyung's touch.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little worn out, you know." She had to be careful what she said. She'd never told Taehyung she and Jungkook weren't together. As far as anyone knew, Jungkook worked a lot in the city, and saw her on the weekends. Whenever it was the weekend, she made the excuse of being with Jungkook, when in fact she was at her sister's so no one knew the truth of their weird separation.

Part of Jungkook's agreement to allow her to leave him was no one could know the truth, not even Taehyung.

Her sisters did, but they knew not to ruin her life by adding to her misery.

She bent down and started to unload the picnic. She'd packed enough to feed a small army, so Jungkook being with them wouldn't be a problem. Her stomach was so tense she didn't even think she could eat.

Jungkook at times reminded her a little of a ticking time bomb, and she was just waiting for him to explode. It would all be all right though; she had to believe that.

Just as she stood up, hands wrapped around her waist and lips pressed against her lips.

"I'm so sorry for abandoning you," Jungkook said.

She was very much aware of Taehyung's gaze on them.

"It's fine, honey," she said. She closed her eyes and tried to look like this was an everyday, natural occurrence between them. He hadn't touched her like this in five years.

You're the one who made sure of it.

She tucked some of her hair behind her ear and sat down on the blanket. Jungkook took the position behind her, and it reminded her of a private picnic they had shared out by the lake of home back in Seoul. As part of his wooing of her, he'd taken her to England to explore stately homes, and museums, and to see the land. She'd loved it, and on one of the days, she'd been enjoying their picnic watching ducks swim by. It was the first time he'd kissed her deeply, almost ravishing.
