Hanni was looking outside the car window. Chaeryeong was staring at her.

Hanni is stunning, her visuals are perfect. But did  Taehyung get attracted because of her beauty? Because until now Chaeryeong hasn't seen any personality trait of Hanni which is attractive.

“Where since I met you, I have never seen you happy. You always look as if someone is forcing you to be here.” Chaeryeong said. Hanni looked back at Chaeryeong but didn't say anything. “You are not even going to reply? You hide behind Taehyung and act like we are all gonna harm you.”

“I feel safe with him.” Hanni replied. Chaeryeong chuckled.

“Girl, safe from what? You act like a child In Front of him. It's annoying. At least grow up, you are an adult now.” She said,
“Do you love him?” Chaeryeong asked. “Who are your parents? It doesn't even make sense how you end up with him, money is that the reason?”

Hanni was feeling angry now, first Jimin said all those things to her and now Chaeryeong. Hanni has no interest in money, she just wants to be free without being k!lled.

Hanni stays quiet, she doesn't want to argue or give any explanation, she doesn't care what Chaeryeong thinks about her.

Y/n was laying on the couch playing with her little pet kittens. She laid them on her stomach while she smiled as they were playing.

Jungkook picked up one of the cats, he laid beside her and placed it on her shoulder, before kissing the cat and then her.

“What are you doing, Bunny?” He asked.

“I am smiling, so I am definitely not thinking about you.” She replied, he chuckled.

“Someone is in a sassy mood, I was thinking of taking you out on a date tonight. You can't say no. I want you to dress pretty for me and spend time with me.” He said.

She giggled softly as the kitten rubbed her face on her neck, she picked up the cat and looked at Jungkook. “Have you slept with another girl while we were together?”

Jungkook raised his eyebrows. “What type of question is that?”

“I am just curious, I want to know. I was so madly in love with you, and was always scared of your mood swings, to the point I doubted you for anything. But now I want to know,”

Jungkook shook his head. “You doubted me once, when you thought I was lying to you and sleeping with someone else but it turns out to be just me meeting my sister.”

“What about when we were away?” She asked, he caressed her hair.

“When we are away, I would only think about you, I only think about kissing you, touching you, hugging you, meeting you, smelling your scent, caressing your hair and just you.” He replied.

“You know I was crazy, like my mood would depend on your mood. Even when we were away, I was thinking about You. My teenage years and early twenties were all about you. Even during my childhood. I loved you a lot.” She said.

“I still think you love me more than I love you.” He said she uses past tense whenever she tells him how much she loves him but he used present tense because he believes she still loves him.

“I actually did,” She replied. “I would have been really disappointed if you had slept with someone else. Because I still think you loved me, and everything between us is not a game to you. You were genuine to me.”

“I loved you, still love you and always will love you. Now stop overthinking.” He said she is making him feel guilty. He can't change the thing he did behind her back. He can't go back either.

She moved closer to him and hugged him. “I know I am overthinking, but I don't want to get betrayed again and again just because I trusted and loved someone.”

“You can feel safe with me.” Jungkook replied. He caressed her arms, he still wants Y/n as his mistress, but he can still make sure she gets a good life. He promised he is going to love her. “Chaeryeong and Mine divorce is not possible, their contract was made in such a Way.” He said he wants to test her. He always tests her, he never believes her love.

She stared at Jungkook's eyes, again disappointed. He looked at her with apologetic eyes. “Sorry, I want to get out of this marriage too, but this ridiculous contract. Y/n I don't want to lose you, I will try to find more ways.”

“I am not losing you, it's not my problem. You are mine. I don't care about marriage. I just don't want to leave what belongs to me.” She said, Jungkook smiled and hugged her tightly. That was what he wanted to hear.

She loves him more than her self respect, her family and anyone else. Now he can move to step 2, he wants kids, he wants a son. He wants to give her and their son a better life. A life where his son and she doesn't need to suffer alone because he would be there with him.

It will heal Jungkook's childhood memories and he will be able to live in peace.

“Can we kiss?” He asked. She hid her face in his chest and shook her head.

“Let's save the kiss for the date tonight.” She said, which made Jungkook smile even bigger. Making him more excited for dinner.

Taehyung watched Hanni as she was packing her things. “What are you doing? What happened?” He asked.

“You are making me weak, I don't want to stay with you anymore.” She replied.

“Weak? What have I done?” He asked.

“I was better alone, I was doing so much better on my own, and then you came and started treating me like I am a child or something.” She exclaimed. He sighed.

“I want to protect you, you helped me come out of that isolation, I am just returning the favor.”

“I don't want it. I don't need your help. I am good on my own.” She said.

“Really Hanni? Just because he is in jail doesn't mean you are safe. Did someone say anything? Why are you acting this way all of the sudden?” He asked.

“Nothing happened, I am leaving.” She said, and zip up her luggage. He sighed as he watched her leave her room. He followed her outside.

“At least take my card if you need anything,” He said and offered to give her his card.

“I don't need your money, stop this. I will find a job.” She said he knows she can find a job, but right now she was not in a position to do that, so he offered help.

He put his hands in his pockets. “Fine, just don't d!e. You are an adult so, take care.”

“I will not d!e before seeing that old man suffer.” She replied. Taehyung laughed. Maybe she is right. He was indeed treating her as if she was weak. She is capable of destroying Mr. Park whole life.

She left his house. Chaeryeong was watching them. She walked closer and asked Taehyung what happened.

“Nothing,” He replied.

“She left? But why?” She asked. “She is quite childish, how was she your type?”

“I don't know, I clearly have a type, ‘A girl who would leave me.” he chuckled. It's hard for him to pretend, he doesn't want to act anymore. There was no point of doing that either.

Chaeryeong chuckled. “You are being funny even in this situation.”

He shrugged his shoulders, he was about to leave but Chaeryeong stopped him. "My car is not working."

"Call an mechanic then." He replied.

"No, I did. And he told me it's not a big deal I can get it fix myself. But it is too complicated. I don't know how to fix it. Can you at least give it look?" She asked.

He sighed but decided to at least take a look. And nothing was wrong with the car. It was fine, it was working fine either.

"Nothing seems wrong to me." He said.

He went to his room, he laid on the bed and he opened Instagram as he got the notification that Y/n had added a story.

She posted a mirror selfie of her dress, with a caption. ‘Going on a date’

He shook his head. “Were we supposed to go on a date? I can't recall it.”

Hanni's heels clicked on the polished marble floor as she made her way to Jimin's office.

Reaching Jimin's office, she paused briefly before knocking sharply on the door. A moment later, a deep voice responded.

"Come in."

Pushing the door open, Hanni stepped inside. Jimin looked up from his desk, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he saw her.

"Hanni," he greeted coolly. "What brings you here? You see, dad is not here, so what brings you here?”

Without responding immediately, Hanni walked over to his desk and placed the USB drive in front of him. Her eyes locked onto his, unwavering.

"This," she said, her voice steady, "Is the answer to all the disrespectful words you've said to me."

Jimin raised an eyebrow, glancing at the USB drive before meeting her gaze again. There was a challenge in his eyes, but he reached for the drive nonetheless.

Hanni turned and left the office without another word, her steps echoing in the sudden silence that followed her departure.

Jimin watched her go, a frown forming on his face. He didn't like mysteries, especially not ones involving Hanni.

He hated that he said all the stuff to her, but he was just furious at his father and didn't know how to take it out on him so he took his anger out on Hanni.

Plugging the USB drive into his computer, he leaned back in his chair, waiting for the contents to load.

The screen flickered to life, and a video file opened. As the footage began to play, Jimin's eyes widened in shock.

There, on the screen, was his father, a man he had always looked up to, laughing and conversing with a group of young women in a manner that was anything but innocent.

Jimin's breath caught in his throat as the video continued, revealing more damning evidence of his father's true actions. 

As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, one thing became painfully clear: everything had changed.

Jungkook's heart raced with excitement as he approached the elegant restaurant where he was to meet Y/n for their date.

He had been looking forward to this night for days, eager to spend time with her and make up for their recent rough patch. He was planning to talk to her about a child too.

His hands were slightly sweaty as he pushed open the door.

Stepping inside, Jungkook's eyes scanned the dimly lit dining area, searching for Y/n.

His gaze finally landed on a table near the back, where he saw her sitting. But something was off. She wasn't alone.

Around her were several women, and as he drew closer, his excitement turned to dread.

He recognized them instantly. They were the girls he had foolishly slept with while he was supposed to be committed to Y/n.

He didn't want to be madly in love with Y/n, so every time he felt like he was falling way too deeply in love with her. He would try to be with someone else behind her back.

The color drained from his face as he realized the situation. Y/n's expression was a mixture of shock and heartbreak. She was sitting there without saying a word before she spotted him approaching.

"Jungkook," she said, her voice trembling with anger and pain, "how could you?"

He opened his mouth to speak, to explain, but no words came out.

The women around the table looked at him with varying degrees of contempt and satisfaction, clearly relishing the unfolding drama.

Before he could gather his thoughts, Y/n stood up abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor with a loud screech.

Without warning, she slapped him hard across the face. The sound echoed in the restaurant, drawing the attention of other diners.

"I trusted you," she hissed, her voice choked with emotion.

“Let me explain Y/n, these girls are lying.”

"I loved you, and this is how you repay me? I hate you, Jungkook. I will never trust you again."

Her words cut deeper than the slap, leaving Jungkook standing there, stunned and guilt-ridden.

He reached out a hand, but she recoiled, her eyes flashing with fury and betrayal.

"Don't you dare touch me, what have I not done for you?" she spat, her voice cold. "We're done. Forever."

With that, Y/n turned and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Jungkook standing there, surrounded by the remnants of his poor choices.

Y/n stumbled into the parking lot, her vision blurred by tears. She reached her car, fumbling with the keys as her emotions overwhelmed her.

The car refused to unlock, adding frustration to her heartbreak. Desperate and angry, she pounded her fist against the car door, the impact sending a jolt of pain through her hand.

"Stupid car!" she cried out, her voice breaking.

"Why are you taking your anger out on the car?" a calm, familiar voice asked from behind her.

Y/n whirled around to see Taehyung standing a few feet away.

Recognition dawned on her face, and fury quickly replaced her sadness.

"It was you, wasn't it?" she demanded, her voice shaking with rage. "You're the one who exposed Jungkook!"

Taehyung's eyes darkened slightly, but he maintained his composure. "I just revealed the truth, Y/n. Jungkook's actions were his own.”

Enraged, Y/n launched herself at Taehyung, her fists striking his chest repeatedly. "How could you? How could you do this to me? Why did you have to ruin everything! I just want peace. I hate you both brothers!”

Taehyung caught her wrists gently, holding her at bay. He didn't flinch, even as her blows landed. Instead, he looked into her eyes, his voice steady and calm.

"It’s not my fault, Y/n. It’s Jungkook’s fault for betraying you, and it’s your fault for trusting him blindly."

Y/n's struggles weakened as his words sank in. She stopped hitting him, her arms falling to her sides.

Tears streamed down her face, and she looked up at Taehyung, the pain in her eyes stark and raw.

"Why?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Taehyung sighed, releasing her wrists. She leaned against her car, feeling utterly drained.

"How could I have been so blind?" she murmured, more to herself than to Taehyung. She was furious at her past self and even now, how could she forget everything for a man like Jungkook. Taehyung already told her a few days ago, she thought she was prepared for this, but she wasn't.

Taehyung stepped closer, his tone softening. He took the keys from her and opened the door for her. “Sit, I will drop you home.”

Y/n looked up at him, her eyes still brimming with tears. “Mine or yours?”

“Ours. But,” He then turned her around and picked her up in the car, her hands were at her back. “Posting a hot picture for this date with him was not part of our plan.”

“Helping Chaeryeong to fix her car was not part of the plan either. What are you? A mechanic? Why were you helping her?” She asked.

“Are you jealous, wild cat?” He asked.

“Why would I be jealous? I am not Mr. Kim Taehyung who gets jealous over little things.” She replied. He chuckled and pushed her inside the car.

Before he sat in the car too. He pulled her on his lap. “How did you find out about all those girls?” She asked.

“It was easy, but are you okay? Maybe I shouldn't -” she put her finger over his lips.

“I am okay now, I was feeling guilty for him but not anymore.” She replied. He smiled, and pulled her closer, kissing her lips.

She started unbuttoning his shirt. "Aren't you afraid that we gonna get caught?" He asked.

"No, I am not afraid of getting caught with you."
