"How come the topic of Yuna came here?"

"I haven't forgotten that. just because I'm too kind for this world, I didn't bring it up," Jungkook muttered in a low tone and looked away.

Her hands were folded in front of her chest.

"Mrs kim—-"

Before Taehyung could continue, a loud voice interrupted.

"Tae~~"

Jungkook frowned hearing the voice and looked behind.

Taehyung's expression darkened gradually at the sight of Yuna, his jaw clenched with barely contained irritation.

"Yuna?"

Taehyung's response was cold, his eyes narrowing as he regarded Yuna and his voice devoid of warmth.

Yuna chirped a cheerful greeting, her voice scraping on Jungkook's nerves like sandpaper.

"Taehyung, you here?" she exclaimed, her tone dripping with false sweetness.

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung asked, his voice cutting through the air like a knife.

Yuna's smile faltered for a brief moment but she quickly recovered, her facade of cheerfulness never wavering. "Oh, just out for fun with friends," she replied casually.

Jungkook watched the interaction with unease, her sixth sense and instincts telling her that trouble was hidden beneath the surface. She tightened her grip on Taehyung's hand. Taehyung's gaze remained fixed on Yuna. His eyes narrowed slightly as he examined her with a steely gaze.

"I see. Well, we'll leave you to it then," he replied with a calm voice. With that, Taehyung turned on his heel with Jungkook following closely behind him.

"Huh!" Yuna was flabbergasted hearing taehyung's response.

"Wait!" she exclaimed.

Yuna's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, stopping Taehyung and Jungkook in their tracks.
She stepped closer to Taehyung, blocking their path.

Taehyung's jaw tightened at Yuna's interruption, his patience wearing thin with each passing moment. But he remained outwardly composed with his cold gaze fixed on Yuna. With a deep breath, Taehyung waited for her to speak with an unreadable expression and asked, "What is it, Yuna?"

"Umm, can we both grab a cup of coffee? It's okay if you don't want to," Yuna requested batting her eyelashes with a sweet smile.

Taehyung looked at Yuna for a moment and then slowly nodded. Jungkook's suspicions were coming true. Her eyes caught the flirty glance Yuna was giving to the elder male.

"Sure! Lead the way." Taehyung replied.

"Excellent!" Yuna grinned in excitement and leaned near Taehyung.

Her fingers trailed on Taehyung's arms as she spoke in an alluring tone, " I know a place down the floor, let's go,"

Taehyung's jaw clenched as he looked at the hand around his bicep and then looked at the owner of the hand. Yuna removed her hand with an apologetic smile and mumbled a small sorry. Taehyung glanced to his other side and found Jungkook with a blank expression.

Standing there in her all glory, Jungkook's lips formed a perfect pout as she watched Yuna leaning close to her husband. She crossed her arms over her chest, her bottom lip jutting out in the most adorable display of anger. With a soft huff and a little stomp of her foot, Jungkook shot a threatening look at Taehyung and turned on her heel to march away.

Soon, they entered the coffee shop.

Yuna's smile widened as she led Taehyung to a secluded corner. "Here we are," she announced, gesturing for Taehyung to take a seat completely ignoring Jungkook's presence.

Taehyung pulled the chair for Jungkook and gestured for her to sit. Jungkook smiled at his gesture. Yuna's expression into a scowl watching their interaction.

Once, everyone settled on the seat, Taehyung stood from his seat with a nod towards Yuna.

"I'll grab the drinks. What would you like?" he asked, his voice laced with formality.

"A Small cup of Cappuccino," she replied coyly, her smile widened as she leaned back in her chair.

Taehyung disappeared into the crowd leaving Jungkook with Yuna. Jungkook tried to ignore her presence and got busy on her phone. Her eyes examined the other woman's face timely.

Yuna's gaze flickered towards Jungkook, her smile turning evil as she leaned in closer.

"Did you see how Taehyung asked for my preferences before ordering? How sweet!" she initiated a conversation with her gaze towards Taehyung, who stood near the counter.

Jungkook's jaw clenched at Yuna's provocation, her fists tightening around the mobile. She knew all the depths of Yuna's manipulations and she refused to let her get under her skin.

"Take a deep breath. Calm down Kookie. Don't let this bish manipulate you," Jungkook thought and chose to not give any response.

"Oh, did I strike a nerve?" Yuna taunted, her voice dripping with meanness. Her smirk widened at Jungkook's reaction, satisfaction dancing in her eyes.

Jungkook couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yuna's remark, her frustration bubbling to the surface despite her best efforts to remain composed. The urge to lash out and kick this woman was strong, but she knew that paying to Yuna's story would only escalate the situation further.

With a deep breath, Jungkook forced a tight-lipped smile, her eyes flashing with defiance as she met Yuna's gaze head-on.

"Not at all! I'm just surprised you dare to show your face here. Even After..." Jungkook replied evenly, her voice tinged with ice.

Yuna's smile faltered for a quick moment, unease crossing her features before she quickly masked it with false confidence. "Even After,  what?" she asked.

"Why are you tense about 'even after," Jungkook raised her two fingers and quoted even after. Her smirk widened looking at Yuna's panicked face.

This action of Yuna made Jungkook confident about a particular thing.

"I-I!" yuna stammered, "T-that nothing! That's very clever of you, how smoothly you changed the topic," The lost confidence builds up again and Yuna tries to rile up Jungkook.

Jungkook looked up from her phone with an eyebrow raised. She shook her head and kept the phone on the table, giving her full attention to the girl sitting in front.

"What can I do if you find love languages in my husband's gentlemanly behaviour?" Jungkook remarked, her fierce eyes fixed on Yuna's sly one.

Jungkook's voice held a hint of sarcasm as she addressed Yuna. "You know, we usually ask for references from the ones we don't know, umm strangers?" she remarked.

As soon as Yuna heard the words, her smile faded for just a moment, replaced by annoyance that briefly crossed her features. She tried to keep her face neutral but the strain was evident in her voice as she spoke.

"I understand that perspective but there are other perspectives as well. Who knows this might be the starting of something?" she responded carefully, trying to maintain her facade of innocence.

It was clear that Yuna was making deliberate efforts to rile up Jungkook.

Jungkook's jaw clenched at Yuna's response, her frustration mounting with each passing moment. She knew all too well the games Yuna liked to play, but she refused to let her get the best of her.

"Honey! Sometimes 'Delulu is not always the solulu," Jungkook spoke while drawing random patterns on the tablecloth and smirked at the woman who was ready to throw hands.

With a tight smile, Jungkook turned her attention away from the fuming Yuna. She decided to enjoy the cosy vibe of the coffee shop rather than entertaining the annoying lady. Her wandering eyes were struck by the handsome male who was coming to their table. Taehyung in his all glory, marched forward with long strides, hand busy clutching the phone to his left ear. Jungkook's eyes were fixed on his lips which were moving, the clattering of the indoors went deaf to her ears. Taehyung accidentally looked in that direction. He frowned looking at his wife who was zoned out.

Yuna opened her mouth to make a nasty remark towards Jungkook. She was confused and decided to follow jungkook's gaze. Her fist clenched looking at the couple who were far away from each other yet their eyes were locked on each other. In anger, she slammed her hand harshly on the table. Jungkook flinched and blinked multiple times.

The moment Taehyung approached, Yuna's expression shifted to one of innocence, her features put into a mask of sweetness.

Jungkook watched the shift with disbelief. Her eyes rolled at the facade. She knew very well the lengths Yuna would go to use the situation. Inwardly, she scoffed at Yuna's trick, her mind echoing with a single thought: "Delulu bish."

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung who sat beside her.

"I ordered hot chocolate and a sandwich for you, is that okay? I think this combo is your favourite, right?" Taehyung spoke while putting his phone back in his blazer's pocket, his voice loud enough for only both of them to hear.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat at Taehyung's thoughtful gesture, her frustration melted as she met his gaze. Her heart swelled with admiration for Taehyung, the realization that he knew her favourites filling her with relief. It was moments like these that reminded Jungkook of the depth of their bond, of the unspoken understanding that existed between them.

She nodded, a wide smile tugging at the corners of her lips and big doe eyes crinkling with happiness. Jungkook squealed and clapped her hands in tiny.

"That sounds perfect, thank you," she replied, her voice filled with happiness. Taehyung looked at her antiques and shook his head.

Opposite them, Yuna sat there feeling completely ignored by the people who were busy in their small world. She fisted the tablecloth tightly and watched how the crisp white cloth turned wrinkled.

"How did you know that it's my favourite?" Jungkook asked, her curiosity piqued as she looked at Taehyung with surprise and curiosity.

Taehyung leaned back in his chair, arms folded in front of his chest and replied, "I may or may not have seen your desk occupied by them for the past few weeks in the office,"

Jungkook's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at Taehyung's revelation, a sheepish smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She hadn't realized that her fondness for hot chocolate and sandwiches had been so obvious, but she couldn't deny the truth in Taehyung's words. She rubbed her forehead with her pointed fingers with a bashful smile.

"Well, I guess I'm not very subtle, am I?" Jungkook replied with a soft giggle, her gaze meeting Taehyung's with affection.

"Maybe," Taehyung's stoic face eased as he replied, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from Jungkook's face.

Yuna couldn't take the sight of them being happy and enjoying. She couldn't understand their talks. Fed up by the interaction, Yuna intentionally dropped her handbag.

"Shít," Yuan exclaimed loudly enough to break Jungkook and Taehyung's interaction. She bent down and picked up it.

"Sorry!" Yuna apologised and kept the handbag on her lap. She looked at taehyung with a smile who nodded and looked away.

Soon, their orders arrived. A waiter reached their table kept the tray of food on the table and at last passed a professional smile to them.

"Here is your order, Mr Kim. Do enjoy!"

Taehyung wasted no time in serving the food to his wife. He placed the cup of hot chocolate to her side and slid the sandwich towards her. Jungkook couldn't resist a small smirk as she glanced towards Yuna. It was a gesture of satisfaction, a silent acknowledgement of the unspoken victory she felt at that moment.

Yuna's eyes narrowed at Jungkook's expression, irritation crossing her features before she quickly masked it with a forced smile. But Jungkook could see through the facade. Jungkook could sense the frustration and it only fueled her victory.

With a small tilt of her head and a knowing flash in her eyes, Jungkook turned her attention back to Taehyung, her heart spewing with gratefulness for the man sitting beside her.

In that moment, she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, stronger than ever before.

Taehyung cleared his throat and his demeanour shifted as he turned his attention to Yuna. Power emanated from him, his dominant persona rising to the surface as he addressed her. Yuna's gaze flickered towards Taehyung, uncertainty crossing her features as she met his intense stare. Despite her attempts to maintain her composure, she couldn't help but feel unease in the front of Taehyung's controlling presence.

With a firm voice and steely gaze, Taehyung spoke. "Yuna, there are matters that need to be addressed."

Jungkook watched as Taehyung took control of the situation, his dominant persona leaving no room for doubt or hesitation. She knew that whatever lay ahead, Taehyung would handle it with the same confidence that he approached everything else in life. The wife didn't hesitate for a moment, eagerly grabbing the hot chocolate and sandwich with a grateful smile. She nibbled the sandwich eagerly waiting for the conversation to start.

"There is an incident that connects you and me," Taehyung began, his voice stable as he chose his words carefully. "My family misunderstood you, believing that you were an Alara."

Taehyung continued, his gaze intense as he spoke. "However, the matter was cleared when I came to know that Jungkook is an Alara,"

Yuna's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "I know, Tae, but this revelation shattered everything. The connection between us broke."

"I understand," Taehyung replied gently, "But it was never about our past, Yuna. It's about the present, and the choices we make moving forward."

Taehyung's voice was calm yet firm as he addressed Yuna. "And my mother's words and actions may have shaped your expectations. Whatever there was between us, as you may feel, is finished."

"What about our love, Tae? My dreams of becoming your wife," Yuna spoke harshly.

Taehyung's brow furrowed in confusion as he listened to Yuna's words. "Love?" he repeated, his tone tinged with scepticism.

"It must be infatuation, Yuna," Taehyung continued, his voice gentle yet firm. "How can we fall in love in such a short amount of time? Neither I had knowledge about you nor did you have. We met on the day of engagement for the first time, and the following day, our marriage was supposed to be held."

Yuna's expression faltered at Taehyung's words, her eyes widening in realization. She had clung to the idea of love as a lifeline, hoping that it would validate the connection she felt with Taehyung.

"I... I suppose you're right," Yuna murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "I just... I wanted to believe that there was something more between us."

Taehyung took a deep breath and kept the empty cup on the table, "It's natural to seek meaning in our interactions. But sometimes, the reality is not as romantic as we imagine. You deserve to find genuine love, Yuna. And I believe that you will, in time."

Taehyung spoke with Yuna, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards her wrist, where a familiar bracelet caught his eye. His frown deepened as he remembered seeing the same piece of jewellery in his room not too long ago.

A flicker of suspicion crossed Taehyung's features as he examined the bracelet, his mind racing with questions. How had Yuna come to possess it? Had she been in his room? The implications of such a discovery sent a chill down his spine.

Trying to maintain his composure, Taehyung forced himself to focus on the conversation but the sight of the bracelet lingered in the back of his mind ago.

Yuna noticed Taehyung's sudden change in demeanour and followed his gaze to her wrist, her expression faltering as she realized what had caught his attention. A flash of panic crossed her features before she quickly masked it with a forced smile.

"Is something wrong, Taehyung?" Yuna asked. Her wrist flickered and she removed her hand from the table.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung and she frowned glancing at the male who was in a daze.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked, her eyebrows furrowed as she kept her hand on his shoulder.

"No, it's nothing," Taehyung replied evenly, his tone carefully neutral. But even as he spoke the words, he couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that settled over him like a dark cloud. Something wasn't right, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"We will leave. I hope you remember my words," Taehyung stated firmly, his tone carrying a hint of warning as he rose from his seat.

Yuna's eyes widened in surprise at Taehyung's declaration, tension crossing her features as she watched him prepare to depart. She knew that his words held weight, and unease settled in the pit of her stomach as she considered his warning.

With a silent nod, Taehyung turned away, his expression unreadable as he gestured for Jungkook to follow him. As they made their way towards the exit, a tense silence hung in the air, Taehyung's words lingered like a heavy fog.

•———————🥀—————-•

"Did you see the bracelet, Mr. Kim?" Jungkook asked, her voice low but laced with urgency as they walked away from the cosy coffee shop.

Taehyung glanced at Jungkook, his brow furrowing slightly at the seriousness in her tone and replied, "Yes, I did,"

Jungkook's grip tightened on Taehyung's arm, her eyes searching his for any sign of recognition. "It's the same one we found in our room, isn't it?" she pressed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung nodded slowly, a troubled expression crossing his features.

"Yes, it is," he confirmed.

Jungkook's heart sank at Taehyung's response, a knot of worry forming in the pit of her stomach. The thought of Yuna having entry to their room and having the same bracelet was deeply alarming and she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gripped her.

As they continued on their way, Jungkook couldn't help but wonder what other secrets Yuna might be hiding and what dangers they might face as a result.

"That means..." Jungkook trailed off, her voice trailing into a tense silence as she mulled over Yuna's bracelet.

Taehyung's jaw tightened as he filled in the unspoken words, his mind racing with possibilities. "It means she's been in our room," he finished, his tone grim as he glanced at Jungkook.

Jungkook's eyes widened with realization, her stomach churning with fear and anger. The thought of someone invading their privacy sent a shiver down her spin.

"We need to be careful," Jungkook said, her voice barely above a whisper as they continued on their way. "Who knows what else she might be capable of?"

Taehyung nodded in agreement, his expression hardened with determination.
"Agreed," he replied, his gaze focused ahead as they walked. "We'll keep an eye on her but we can't let her know that we're onto her."

"What about that purple liquid? You said it has marks of Jinn." Jungkook asked as she fiddled with the silk ribbons of her dress.

"Yuna is Connected with Jinn? How can she?" Taehyung spoke aloud, his voice tinged with disbelief and concern as they made their way through the crowded mall.

Jungkook glanced at him, her brow furrowed in confusion. "Dont you think there's a relation?" she asked.

Taehyung shook his head, his expression troubled as he tried to make sense of the situation. "I'm not sure. But there's something about her that doesn't sit right with me."

Jungkook nodded in understanding, her thoughts mirroring Taehyung's unease. The idea of Yuna being involved with Jinn was unsettling, to say the least, and she couldn't shake the feeling of foreboding that settled over her like a dark cloud.

"We'll have to keep our guard up. We can't afford to underestimate her," Jungkook said, her voice determined as they navigated the groups of people.

•—————-🥀——————•

"Wow! What an acting?" Yuna turned around and looked at Ash Jinn who was coming to her.

Ash Jinn stood in front of her and patted her shoulder. Yuna who was angry and frustrated swatted her hand away. Currently, they were standing in the parking lot beside Yuna's car.

"What? Why so angry, hmm?" Ash Jinn chuckled at the angry woman.

"That Jungkook and Taehyung. That man, he has the audacity to tell me to move on for whom? For that Jungkook? I didn't sell my soul for this day. How badly do I want to wipe that smirk away from Jungkook's face? Ugh!" Yuna kicked a pebble harshly to release her anger.

"Ayy! Why are so angry? It's just a small phase for taehyung. Remember, he will come back to you. You did a great job today by acting weak and begging for your love," Ash Jinn smiled.

Yes, this all was acting. Ash Jinn commanded Yuna to take Taehyung to the shop and act like a lover who is left behind. The jinn was whole time sitting behind them listening to their conversation.

"This meeting with you had made them more guarded. Now they will do every single thing to keep away. Soomin will ask you to live in kims Manor whereas Taehyung will reject. This scene will create a rift between him and his family. This is what I want.
I want him alone and lonely on the NIGHT OF RED MOON," The ash jinn laughed loudly.

"Finally I will get my Tae," Yuna smiled thinking about their future. But her eyes didn't catch the smirk on Jinn's face.

Ash Jinn smirked and thought, "Stupid girl! You are just the bait of our mission. How can you get taehyung when he will be dead."
