Mr. Park leaned in closer to Hanni, his expression stern yet curious. "Are you pretending, Hanni? Or are you actually in love with Taehyung?"
Hanni hesitated, her eyes darting away for a moment before meeting his gaze squarely. He holds her wrist firmly, twisting them and then he asks her again. She was scared that he would know that she is on Taehyung's side.
"I'm pretending," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was all part of your plan. Taehyung fell for me because of your manipulation. I am still doing what you tell me to do.”
He wanted Taehyung to leave Y/n, and have misunderstanding between them, he only let Taehyung go when he thought that now Taehyung would be at his side.
A flicker of satisfaction passed across Mr. Park's face before he composed himself again. "Good," he said, his tone cold and calculating. "That's what I needed to hear."
He patted her head and smiled. She flinches at his touch.
Hanni's heart sank as she realized the implications of his words. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"I mean," Mr. Park began, his eyes narrowing, "that it's time for you to go away from Taehyung. Permanently."
Hanni's breath caught in her throat, "Disappear?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Mr. Park nodded, his expression unwavering. "Yes. I want you to disappear. It's the only way to protect what we've built. Die, I don't know fake death or actually die, I don't care. But I want you out of the picture now.
Hanni swallowed hard, feeling a surge of fear and betrayal. She had known Mr. Park was ruthless, but she never imagined he would demand something so extreme. But she has seen worse. She knows he is worse.
As she stood there, facing him, she realized that she had been nothing more than a pawn in his game. He stepped away before leaving her alone. She was standing there also frozen now.
As Taehyung approached Hanni, his expression filled with concern, he asked, "Hey, what were you and Mr. Park talking about?"
“He wants me to disappear.” She said, “He is not going to k!ll me right?” She asked, staring at Taehyung.
“Hey, relax okay? Nothing will happen. I promised you that I will be with you right?” Taehyung said.
Hanni forced a smile, trying to mask the turmoil inside her. "Thank you,” She mumbled. He has been treating her like a younger sister.
Hanni doesn't have a family of her own, then she was trapped in Mr. Park's games. Only now she felt like there is someone who cares about him.
Taehyung studied her for a moment, “Are you okay?”
“Yes.” She replied. He nodded slowly. "Okay, if you say so," he said, though there was a lingering doubt in his voice.
They then went to a meeting they were there to attend. Taehyung was keeping Hanni with him, because he was worried that she would get hurt in absence of him. Even now, he just left for a few minutes and Mr. Park was threatening her.
___
Y/n watches the police officers question her father about the allegations of tax evasion. Y/n stands nervously by the doorway, her hands fidgeting with anxiety.
When Mr. Park saw Police he was worried about being caught for many things, that tax evasion felt like nothing to him.
Taehyung was sitting in the room too, and she was feeling nervous because of him.
“Mr. Park, we have evidence to suggest that you've been evading taxes for several years now. Can you explain these discrepancies in your financial records?”
Mr. Park shifts uncomfortably in his seat, avoiding eye contact with the officers.
She knew about it in the past too, she warned her father but he continued doing it. She knew what he was doing was wrong but she never wanted him to get caught, until now, when she was not feeling any sympathy for him.
How could he betray their whole family, her mother, Jungkook, and his mother?
“I don't know what you're talking about. There must be some mistake.”
Y/n bites her lip, struggling with her decision. “There's no mistake. My father has been hiding income and evading taxes for years.”
Mr. Park's eyes widen in shock as he stares at his daughter, disbelief etched on his face.
“Y/n, how could you...?” He said he felt furious at her, she is literally doing what her Grandpa would have done.
Y/n meets her father's gaze. “I asked you to stop, but you continue. It's not right.”
The officers exchange a glance before moving to escort Mr. Park out of the office. Y/n watches them go.
As the officers exit the office, Taehyung approaches her. She stared at his eyes, how could someone have so much love in their eyes and then the same love disappear suddenly.
The girl Hanni was with Taehyung too, Y/n stared at Hanni, she looked a little younger than Y/n.
“I have to admit, Y/n, I'm impressed by your bravery and Dumbness.” Taehyung said.
Y/n shakes her head, her expression solemn.
“Don't be impressed, Taehyung. Anyone could be next if they're not careful. Even you. ” She replied. She was so serious when she said that she wanted to find some deep dirt on Taehyung that would ruin his life.
She wanted to ruin his life, how could he betray her and make fun of her by saying she loved her?
“So this is the girl you love?” She asked, staring at Hanni. Taehyung stared at her and then Hanni. Before he stepped closer to Y/n.
He leaned closer to her ear, “You look so hot when you are jealous.”
“I am not jealous.” She replied. She is, she is literally burning up, Taehyung said he is her, then why? Why is this girl even here? “I never even loved you.”
Taehyung was silent for a few seconds. Why is he even surprised? He knows she doesn't love him.
“Are you sure honey? You look really in love with me.” He said.
Before she could say another word, Jimin came to her. He looked really frustrated and furious.
“ How could you do this, Y/n? How could you betray Dad like that?” Jimin yelled at her. He doesn't get mad easy, it's the first time he was yelling at her.
“Jimin, I did what I thought was right. Dad's actions were illegal, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Dad just keeps doing what he wants.” Y/n said.
“Right? You call this right? You've ruined our family, Y/n. Do you have any idea what this will do to us? But just don't fcking care, you are selfish as always.” Jimin said .
“What have I done huh? Why are you calling me selfish? You haven't even talk to me ever since Chaeryeong got married, you knew how devastated I was after Taehywent missing yet still you didn't even bother to ask me how I was doing.”
Y/n's eyes welled up with tears, the weight of Jimin's words hitting her hard. Taehyung was there too, he was just standing there. He couldn't take her side right now.
“You've changed, Y/n. You're not the sister I thought I knew.” Jimin said.

Y/n was caressing the hair of her new little puppy. He was abandoned by his owner, she doesn't know the reason why. He seems like a good dog, then why would anyone do that to this innocent baby.
“Coming to your farm house is not running away, Park Y/n.” Jungkook said with a huge smile. She didn't tell him where she was going but he found her, he knew where she would come.
She came to Jeju island, when he noticed that she was not in Seoul he knew she either had to fly to New York or here.
“I was close to going to New York, but then I thought I should check here first.” Jungkook said.
She couldn't go to New York, it was filled with Her and Taehyung's memories. Just a few months ago she didn't care about her memory with Taehyung in New York, but now everything suddenly matters, Taehyung matters.
“I need to find another place to hide, where no one will find me.” She mumbled.
“Why?” He asked, he sat with her. She shrugged her shoulders.
“I just need some alone time.” She said,
“You sent your father to jail, can I ask you the reason?” He asked.
“You know the reason.” She replied. He smiled and held her hand.
“You did it for me,” he kissed her hand. She did this for him, and now he can do anything for her. She is not against him, she is with him, and that is all he wants.
“You are the only one who is here with me, Jungkook. It's so messed up, I thought my family was perfect, my siblings were perfect, I even believe Taehyung,” She stopped mid sentence.
“Taehyung is an assh0le you always knew that. Forget him,” he said.
“I don't know, you and I Jungkook, we have always been together, it started with a crush, you always acted the way I wished for you to act. And that made me fall in love with you. You stopped acting the way I wanted you to act, and suddenly I was out of love. But for Taehyung, he has never acted the way I wanted, he has always been unpredictable, annoying, jerk, and whatnot, but I think,” She is telling everything to Jungkook because she is close to him. She was still hesitant. “I love Taehyung. I love him in the way I have never loved before. It hurts so bad that I can't be with him.”
Jungkook stared at her, what is she even saying? She doesn't love Taehyung, she loves him only right?
“He manipulated you Y/n, you don't love him.” Jungkook said. “You can't love him.”
He pulled her closer to him. “You only love me.” Of course she loves him, she even went against her father for him. So she must have loved him more than she realized.
He cupped her face, “Don't take too much stress we will fix everything, you just need to forget everyone and everything.”
She nodded her head and closed her eyes. She just needs to forget everything, but how can she forget Taehyung? How can she forget what he did to her? How can she forget what her siblings are doing right now?
“I hate everyone,” She mumbled.
“Not me right?” He asked. She shook her head.
“I hate you a little.” She replied. He smiled and rubbed the tip of his nose with her.
“I love you a lot.” He exclaimed. She opened her eyes. He stared at her lips before leaning in and kissing her lips.
She pulled away, “Chaeryeong would hate me.”
“Why? Y/n I divorced her already now what's the problem? She is not even living in my house anymore.” Jungkook said.
“Still she would hate me. She already does.” Y/n replied.
“That shows her selfishness, you should be mad at her because she married the guy you loved all your life.” Jungkook exclaimed.
She nodded her head, as she put her arms on his shoulder. She leaned in and kissed his lips. Jungkook put his hands on her waist while he kissed her slowly. He won her again.
It felt forbidden, maybe that is why he liked it so much. He hasn't divorced Chaeryeong nor that he is planning to do that. It has become his fantasy to have a secret affair, and he wants to have it with Y/n. Who else would make him feel like this?
And he wants Y/n to stay with him, it's fun this way. Relationships are boring, normal relationships are boring. He wants this.
He breaks the kiss and moves to her neck, sucking in her skin. “We Lost our magic.” She said and she sit back.
“What does that mean?” He asked.
“We don't feel like how we used to.” She said,
“We need to give it a proper try, We can't know unless you give me a chance.” Jungkook said.
“I don't want to give you a chance.” She replied.
“I know you can live without me, Y/n but I literally can't, I can't forget you, and think of anyone other than you,”
She used to think that too, she used to believe that she can't live without him.
He caressed her face softly. “I want to marry you, have kids and spend my whole life with you. Marriage is scary, having kids is scary, you know how much I hate that. But with you, I want that.”
“Marriage is indeed scary. I don't want to get married again.” She said,
He smiled. “We don't need marriage Y/n, it's useless, marriage means absolutely nothing to me. I just want to be with you.”
She stared at him, every sound so fake. It doesn't feel genuine to her.
___
Chaeryeong was in her Pilates class, when she heard two girls whispering to each other. She turned to them and they got quiet.
She just continued her session, when she went to the locker room and picked up her phone she saw a notification popping up on her phone.
It was a new article she opened and it was about Jungkook and Y/n, they were kissing in the pictures and they were calling Y/n his mistress.
Chaeryeong stared at it, she felt like she was insulted by this. Their marriage was insulted by this. Even if it's nothing, she is still married to Jungkook and Y/n is her sister.
She took her stuff and went back home, at home Y/n was already tense. She saw the article. Jungkook is good at hiding. They hid their relationship so well in the past, and now it was clear to her that Jungkook wanted to make a sandal out of it.
Y/n was also furious over the fact that he lied that he divorced Chaeryeong when in reality he hadn't done that.
Chaeryeong came to Y/n, she looked at her, Y/n couldn't look up at her.
“You deserve Jungkook,” she said not in a good way but in a mocking tone as she placed a divorce paper on the table. “You deserve a man who doesn't respect any relation like you, just tell him to sign these papers.”
“He told me he divorced you Chaeryeong-”
“And the next moment you jump into his arms, how desperate are you for him?” She asked.
“Stop it Chaeryeong. You don't even know what happened between me and him.”
“Don't tell me to stop Y/n, I am so sick of you. You sent dad to jail, you are fcking my husband. You ruined our family.” she said.
“Do you even know your husband? You don't understand what me and Jungkook are going through. You get to do what you love right? So just keep baking and doing what you love and leave me alone “ She exclaimed.
Y/n just went to her room, she shut the door. And then sit on the bed. She doesn't want to even talk to anyone.
She laid on the bed, she was furious at Jungkook. He was calling her nonstop but she was avoiding talking to him. She knows he is behind this. It was hurtful, why did he act this way?
“All you do is cry.” She heard a deep voice. The room was dark and she didn't notice the figure that was sitting on the chair.
She said, “What are you doing here Taehyung?”
He stood up, she heard him taking steps closer towards her. He held her arm, she could finally see him in the moonlight now. She could see his eyes were burning in anger.
