"You have a visitor, Jimin."

Jimin lifted his head from his laptop screen, eyes narrowing in curiosity.

"Who?"

"Jeon."

The name made him freeze for a second. Then, without hesitation, he stood up and strode toward the cabin. Pushing the door open, he found Jungkook sitting across from Lisa, both looking tense.

Jungkook didn't waste a second. "Why are you doing this, Jimin?"

Jimin frowned. "What?" His gaze flickered between Jungkook and Lisa.

"Why do you keep sending that boy into my life?"

"Me?" Jimin scoffed. "Sending whom?"

Jungkook's jaw tightened, his voice sharp. "Kim Taehyung. I know it's you."

Jimin exhaled, frustrated. "Hyung, it's not me. I-"

"I'm not your hyung, damn it!" Jungkook snapped, his voice rising in anger. "I know this is your plan. Do you want to destroy me? I'm warning you, Jimin-if I see that bitch-"

"Don't you dare call him that!" Jimin's voice was dangerously low as he pointed a firm finger at Jungkook.

Jungkook let out a bitter laugh. "That's the best word for him. Do you even know? He was with me for a week-already engaged to someone else and still clinging onto me. God knows how many people he's playing with."

Before Jungkook could utter another word, Jimin slammed him against the wall, his grip iron-tight. His voice dripped with venom. "Say one more word, and I swear, you won't live to regret it."

"Jimin!" Lisa gasped, rushing forward to pull him back.

She turned to Jungkook. "Sir, please don't speak like that."

Jungkook straightened his coat, fixing Jimin with a cold stare. "If you don't want to hear this again, then tell him to stay away. Otherwise, next time, he'll be in jail."

"That's enough, Jungkook!" Jimin roared, his patience snapping. "You know nothing about Taehyung!"

Jungkook's expression hardened. "I don't need to. I know you're the one pushing him into my life just to ruin me." He paused before adding, "And listen carefully-I'm getting married next week. If you or Taehyung try anything, you'll be the one suffering."

With that, he stormed toward the door, only to come face-to-face with Rose. He shot her a sharp, unreadable look before walking past her without a word.

Rose turned to Jimin, her eyes wide with urgency. "Is he really getting married?"

Jimin clenched his jaw. "I don't know. But he can't marry anyone."

"Why?"

His voice was quiet yet firm. "Because he's already married."

*********

Tae carefully scooped a portion of carrot pudding onto a plate, a small smile tugging at his lips.

"I once made this for Kooki, you know," he murmured, placing the dish in front of his bodyguard. "He really loved it."

His driver took a bite, nodding in approval. "Hmm... it's tasty."

Tae chuckled softly. "You know, Ivan loves this too. But she's health-conscious-just like her dad. Lucka, though... he's just like me."

His nanny sighed, watching him carefully. "Tae, why did you bring them here?"

Tae exhaled deeply, his smile fading. "One day, they came home from school, both crying." His voice wavered. "Some kids called them 'cat' and 'dog' because a cat and a dog only have one parent." He paused, his fingers tightening around the spoon. "They kept asking me about their other parent, and I-I promised them that the next time we met, we'd be with their dad."

Tae's breath hitched as he lowered his gaze. "I want him, guys. I want to bring him to our kids and say, 'This is your Appa.'" His voice cracked. "You know, my Ivan looks so much like him... When she was-"

His words broke off as his knees buckled. Tae sank to the floor, tears streaming down his face.

Immediately, his bodyguard, cook, nanny, and cleaner surrounded him, pulling him into a warm embrace.

"Don't cry, Taetae," his bodyguard murmured. "He will come back to you."

Outside the room, Rose and Jimin stood silently. They exchanged a glance before quietly stepping away, leaving Tae to his grief.

"Just go and tell Jungkook hyung everything!" Soobin shouted, his voice filled with frustration. "Oh God, how much has Tae suffered all these years?"

Jimin let out a bitter sigh. "Do you really think he'll believe us?" His voice was calm, but his eyes held uncertainty.

Lisa crossed her arms. "He doesn't even consider us his siblings."

Jungwon frowned. "But what if he actually marries that cockroach?"

"Legally, that's not possible," Soobin said firmly. "On record, he's still married."

A heavy silence fell between them. Then Soobin stepped forward, determining blazing in his eyes. "We have to talk to him. We need to tell him every single truth. If we don't, we'll lose our hyung, Tae, and their children. We'll lose our family."

Jimin took a deep breath, his mind racing. Finally, he nodded, his voice steady with resolve. "Yes... We'll meet him tomorrow."
