The Drop Of A Tear - 26

BTS V x Y/N (Reader)

Summary: Tae meets a woman who is very manipulative. Before he even notices anything, she got him around his finger. He decides to leave his wife Y/N and his four kids to start a new life with the new woman. This perfect house of cards that he had just started to build, starts to unfold as she starts to show her true face. Piece by piece it makes him feel sick. Tae notices his wrong doing as his house of cards start to fall apart. Regret and hate towards himself makes him wish to turn things around. Will he be able to safe his house of cards and to get back what he once threw away? Is Y/N able to forgive?

CHAPTER 26

"That's what you said?" Namjoon asks after Jungkook finishes explaining. "I sincerely hope you guys aren't starting over from square one again." He scratched his forehead as he digested what he had recently learned.

"I believe he understood what I was saying." Jungkook sighs as he reclines on Namjoon's couch. "I debated with myself whether I should do it. "Do you think it was the right thing to do?" Concerned eyes meet Namjoon's as he leans forward, rubbing his palms. Jungkook appears to be preparing to say something further, just as Namjoon is about to respond. "I mean, if Jimin is correct and Tae overheard my conversation with him, doesn't that imply that Tae will try to use her sensitivity to get back to her?"

"Jungkook, I want you to pay close attention to what I'm about to say," Namjoon says as he moves his chair closer. "I'm sorry we put you in this situation, but we made sure Y/N is moving out, so you don't get too attached to her." As he realizes what Namjoon has just stated, Jungkook's eyes widen. "I think we were too late, because you're in too deep, aren't you?", he wonders. "I'm asking as a friend, not as a leader, band member, or business partner." You've never told me before that you care about her... We basically left you alone with this..."

“What would have changed if you would have known? Do you want her to get back to this scumbag?”, the way his eyes started to change did not stay unnoticed. “Namjoon, is it so wrong that I still hope to have a chance?”

“Yes! Because if you wouldn’t have only told Tae about it, we all would have known and that you even kissed her at that state... Jungkook, I don’t know what to tell you. I just wished we did know.”

“Is that why you called me to come over?”

“I needed to know if all of it is true or if my wife misunderstood.”, Namjoon sighs. “I truly don’t know what to do right now...”

“What do you mean?”

“Jungkook, do you think I am blind?”

“I never said that...”

“Listen, I think it is time that you slowly step out and let Jimin, his and my wife take over. We discussed on how to handle the situation between us.”

“What do you want me to do now!?”, Jungkook wonders as he leans forward. “Do you want me to tell the kids not to contact me anymore? They will be so confused if I am out of the picture!”

“That is not what I am saying at all.”

“What do you mean then?”

“I mean Y/N. I know you care about the kids. Trust me, I do know that, but I know now how strongly you feel about her even more now.”

“Didn’t you all see that the girls I dated had similarities to her? Do you want to pretend that was just a coincidence?”

“I didn’t pay attention to be honest. But why do you think, we should have known? Jungkook, I cannot imagine what your emotions might have been if you feel like that to see your friend having what you wanted with her, nor do I know what it might feel like to be in your shoes right now. I can only imagine it.”

“Exactly!”, Jungkook yells as he jumps up. “Do you know how it ripped me apart hearing that they are getting married? Do you know how it hurt me knowing they are starting a family when all I wanted was her!?” His grief was as visible in his tears as it was in the words he spoke. “You cannot imagine it, Namjoon. Y/N, means so much to me.”

“Now is not the right time to show her the feelings though!”, Namjoon scolds as he gets up as well. “I can see that your feelings are sincere, but Y/N needs her friends, not a new lover. Do you understand that?”

“Of course, I do but-”

“Stop!”, Namjoon says as he puts his hand on Jungkook’s shoulder. “Stop it, Jungkook.” Namjoon tried to give him a moment to stop his tears from dripping down his cheeks. He despises seeing his friend in this state, but he knows that if he doesn't get through to him now, he will hurt himself if he holds on to his desire of being with her. “Listen, no matter how hard it will be, you will have to go back of hiding your feelings.”

“What? No!”

“If you truly love her, give her time and space.”

“Am I not doing it already by letting her move out? I planned to move with her and the kids into the bigger apartment.”

“I am proud of you to let her go and to let her live on her own. That is what she needs.” Namjoon notices Jungkook's expression as he attempts to organize his thoughts. “Once it is all over and done, I won’t go between you two if she wants to date you but until then, leave her alone with your feelings.”

“So, you want Tae to be back with her?”

“Honestly, no but yes.”

“Yes or no, Namjoon?”, Jungkook asks as he pushes Namjoon arm away. “Do you really want her back with Tae?”

“Jungkook, you don’t understand the concept of marriage.”

“Suddenly I don’t understand the concept of marriage? Have I ever cheated to any of my girlfriends?”

“Marriage is a different thing than just a relationship. It is also a bond that two people have around their marriage. Once kids are involved, all the parents should care about are the kids first, then themselves. Yes, Tae did it wrong but think about why he acted that night the way he did.”

“He decided it! We only told him to make the right decision.”

“You two idiots knew that he was drunk!”

“Idiots!?”

“Yes, you two idiots!”, Namjoon yells even louder. “Sorry, I shouldn’t be raising my voice. The way you and Jimin are trying to clean this stupidity off your shoulders, makes me crazy.”

“At least we did something! You and the others, you knew it longer than us and still looked into her face and said not a single word. How were you able to still have been calling yourself a friend whilst you did not say a thing?”

“Me, Yoongi and Jin talked way more often with him about it then you know. Only different, we talked with him on occasions when he was sober. Yes, that takes longer but he started to agree to end the relationship with this side chick, but he also said he doesn’t know how.”

“He did not know how? Are you kidding me?”

“She lied to him back then about her pregnancy. You know Tae, he usually is always a father first before he is a friend or partner. He was on the edge of freaking out because he was stuck.”

“Are you excusing him!?”

“No, definitely not.”, Namjoon says in a serious tone. “But that was around the time he kept drinking and drinking.”

“You three could have dragged him out but you three kept looking on?”

“Would you have preferred that we would have told Y/N? What do you think she would have done?”

“At least she would have known!”

“You don’t understand a thing, do you?”

“I can’t understand how you can be on Tae’s side!”, Jungkook screams as he rushes to the door.

“Wait! Jungkook!”, Namjoon yells but Jungkook ignores him as he storms off.

💧💧💧

As the knocks on the front door echoed through the house, it was already late at night. The woman stares anxiously at her husband.

“It’s okay!”, Jimin says as he touches his wife’s cheek. “Go and check on the boys and comfort them if they have woken up.” A few more violent knocks start to echo even loudly.

“Shouldn’t we call the police first?”

“I don’t think it is something bad.”, Jimin says as he sits up. “I will check.”

“Stay! What if it is a psycho?” With a smile, Jimin assures his wife that everything is fine.

“Please check on the boys, I will be back faster than you think.” Whilst she nods, she puts on her slippers. “Love you!”, Jimin says as he walks downstairs. Even though he was able to conceal the increasing anxiousness in his chest in front of his wife, he must take a few deep breaths as he gazes out the living room window. When he discovers who is at the door, he rips the door open aggressively. “Are you fucking serious? I have kids who might get scared. You did not forget that?”

“Let’s talk in the living room.”, Jungkook says as he places his sneakers next to the other shoes at the front door.

“I am not even going to ask why the shoes were already in your hands...”, Jimin states as he closes the door. “Do actually have any idea how late it is?”

“I did not even check when I started to drive...”

“Well, I can tell you how late it is!”, Jimin’s wife says angrily. “The boys are awake, now I am awake. Good job, Jungkook! Do you also want to wake up the fucking neighborhood?”

“Honey, watch your language.”

“I heard you using ‘fucking’ too. Don’t even pretend to watch your words.” Jimin nods as he sits down with Jungkook. “I need coffee...”

“Coffee? Go back to bed, baby.”

“Do you truly think I am able to sleep now?”

“Please, just try to sleep. You have to go work in a few hours.”

“Sounds like a non-argument able argument.”, his wife replies whilst she looks angrily at Jungkook. “Now to you Mr. I-am-single-and-do-what-the-fuck-I want, if you are ever and I mean ever, come to our home like this again, I will make sure to turn you into prosciutto, personally!” The hand in front of Jimin's face was supposed to disguise his smile, but he couldn't stop laughing.

“You all have crazy wives.”, Jungkook says as he shakes their head.

“That might be the reason they come along so well...”, Jimin comments with a smile.

“What are you so suddenly amused about?”

“I never saw her this angry. Wow, she truly has multiple levels of anger... Anyway, why do we have the honor to be disturbed at night?”

“Did Namjoon talk to you about her, Tae and me?”

“What are you talking about? I need more context.”

“Namjoon said that I should hold myself back from Y/N, but I already went two steps ahead. How am I supposed to handle that?”

“You seriously need to calm down.”

“Calm down? Jimin, just tell me how!”

“Sssh! Keep your voice down. Were you drinking?”

“Only a bottle of Soju.”

“Listen, you can sleep in the guest room. We’ll talk when you are sober.”, Jimin tells him as he gets up.

“I need to get it off my chest, Jimin.”, he begs him as he grabs his friend by his upper arm. “Jimin, please.”

“Ten minutes, then off to bed.”, he tells him. “Not a second longer.”

“Did you know that they knew what Tae did before we confronted him?”

“Yeah, I did. Didn’t you?”

“When did you figure that out?”

“Before I told you that we need to talk with Tae.”

“But you said that you are not sure...”

“I was not sure, but then I was.”

“You lied to me?”

“No, I never lied. But I only knew something was going on but whatever went on, I figured out after we investigated.”

“Do you regret how we talked with him?”

“Definitely.”, Jimin confesses with a sigh. “We should have formed our words differently.”

“Do you think it is the best, if I stay away from her family?”

“Well, as I was able to read from your message, you want to be good with Tae again in sake of Y/N and the kids... If you truly want to be by her side one day, you better do what I told you. Hide your feelings.”

“But I already told her what I feel...”

“Not that hard, just tell her that you have considered that you do not want to rush and wait until everything has settled.”

“What if it does her no good?”

“My wife already talked with her. If anything goes down, she has me, my wife and Namjoon, as well as his wife to reach out to.”

“What did she say?”

“That she felt like using us more than friends should. The typical things...”, Jimin yawns as he gets up. “You know the guest room. Good night, Jungkook!”

“That were no ten minutes...”

“But felt like an hour to me.” Jungkook observes Jimin as he walks upstairs. He takes a moment to look around before locking the front door.

"He still forgets to lock the door..." He begins to walk upstairs after turning off the lights and using only the flashlight from his phone.

💧💧💧

“Can I stay at home, mom?”, the small girl asks as she repeatedly inserts the fork into her pancake. “The kids are so mean. I don’t want to go.”

“You will be on your own today then. Legally, I am not allowed to leave you alone.”

“I already texted with auntie. She said I should come over if you are okay with it.”

“You want to stay at Namjoon’s house?”

“Would that be okay?”

“Show me your phone, what did she answer?”

“Here.”, the girl comments as she walks around the table to give the phone to her mother. “Why are you calling her?”

“Just want to make sure that it is her number, Lovely.” The phone only rang twice before being answered. “Hey, I am sorry for calling you so early but Lovely meant that she wants to stay at your house today, is that truly alright? Oh, you got a new dog? No, I did not know about that. Thanks a lot, I will drop her off. Bye!”

“See, I said the truth.”

“Yes, you did.”, Y/N confirms as she gives the phone back to her daughter. “If anyone asks on your next school day, you had the flu. Got it?”

“Thanks, mom!”, the girl says as she tightly embraces her mother.

“I want you to be on your best behavior as usual, okay?”

“Of course, mom.”

“Are we also getting off?”, her son wonders as he chews his breakfast.

“Are you two getting bullied as well or are you trying to fight other kids?”

“We plan on just going to school.”, the oldest one says. “They are the ones to start the fights.”

“You know how the school is keeping an eye on you two. Please, do not make me go home early from work today. I need this job and I won’t be able to keep it if I have to leave early again.”

“I’m sorry, mom.”, the oldest one says.

“Kids, you need to eat up and get washed. We have to drive away earlier if we are dropping off Lovely at your aunt’s house.”

The Drop Of A Tear - 25

BTS V x Y/N (Reader)

CHAPTER 25

It took Tae a long time for him to figure out how his son could meet his favorite soccer player. As he looks at his son's wide grin, the time spent on the phone and the days of planning begin to fade. The longer Tae looks at his son, the more he wants to take images of him being joyful. His son's smile hasn't changed a bit since the time he met his favorite player earlier on today.

“I still can’t believe I got his signature on my t-shirt.”, Tae’s son tells him as he keeps looking at the t-shirt in his hands. The way he looked at his shirt, it almost appeared as if he was beginning to realize that meeting his favorite player was not a dream. “Look, he even wrote a message on the back of our photo!”

“Didn’t he sign much more?”, Tae asks as he notices the green traffic light. As he begins to drive away, he points to the boys' bag.

“I only took bag he gave me, but I haven’t checked for any signatures...” Half-listening, his son peers at the bag for a split second before returning his gaze to the signature on his shirt. Tae looks at his son for a second without losing focus on the traffic when he notices that he does not appear to want to check for the bag.

“Well, maybe you should check the bag.”, Tae suggests with a smile. “There could be more...”

“Okay.”, the boy says as he takes the bag onto his lap. Tae's hand movement startles him just as he was about to touch the zip.

“Wait!”, Tae screams suddenly.

“What? What?”, his son screams scared as he looks at his father.

“Your window is not closed. Let’s not lose anything.”

“Are you serious, dad? I almost had heart attack!” He couldn't help but giggle at his son's expression. “Why are you scaring me like that?”

“Oops.”, Tae laughs as he keeps driving.

“Not funny at all. I thought something bad is about to happen!”

“Sorry, son. So, what’s in the bag?”

“Will you scare me again?”

“I promise I won’t.”, Tae chuckles. “I promise, I won’t.”, he repeats slowly.

“Is there something in the bag that will scare me?”, the boy asks worriedly,

“I promise, there won’t be anything scary in the bag.” For a moment, he waits before he opens the bag slowly.

“Shoes! Signed shoes!”, the boy screams as he takes them out of the bag to take a closer look. He turns them around to see if only one of the pair has been signed. “A t-shirt with the player’s last name on it and a lot more merchandise!”

“Wow! Isn’t that great?”, Tae says cheerfully. “I guess I will try to organize this glass houses and frames to put them in there...”

“This day is awesome!”

“I am glad you are enjoying this day so much.”

“Thank you, dad! I don’t even know how to describe my happiness right now.” Happily, Tae takes a short look at his son. Words cannot describe how much he would want to take a picture of the current joy of his son.

“You are very welcome. I am sorry that it took so long but at least we finally were able to meet him.”

“I already thought you have forgotten about your promise to be honest.”

“I never forgot about it. It took me and my manager hours to plan everything. He's booked out for most of the time, especially now that he is in practically every sport commercial.”

“I will rub it in their faces next time I am at Uncle Namjoon’s house.”

“Why would you do that?”, Tae asked worriedly. When the words keep coming back to him, he wonders if his son just said what he had heard.

“The boys said that it would never happen.”

“Just be nice about it, okay? You know, not everyone will believe your words. But if your words become reality, they must believe. You remember-”

“I remember that, yes...”, his son sighs. “Can I at least show it to them? Not showing off, but just show that it happened?”

“As long as you are not rude.”, Tae answers him as he parks smoothly in front of Jungkook’s apartment building.

“What are we doing at Jungkook’s house?”, the boy asks surprised. “I thought you take me home to mom’s place?” His son can read Tae's bewilderment like a book. He glances at his son, surprised, without saying anything. “Dad?”

“Wait. You are all living here. I, I am pretty sure you do.”, Tae stutters as he realizes his child is not attempting to prank him with his words.

“No, we don’t live here anymore.”, the boy says slowly. “Dad, are you okay? That is why I was meant to wait for you at your agency.”

“But I know for a fact that you live here. When were you supposed to have moved away?”

“Dad, I am telling you, we do not live here anymore. We moved a few days ago.”

“You really moved?”, Tae asks. “Your mom got her own place or with another uncle?”

“We moved into mom’s new place last week.”

“Wait. Hold on.”, Tae says as he loosens his seat belt as he leans towards his son. “Who are you living with now?”

“With mom and my siblings. Why?” As the boy notices his father's confusion about their current living situation grows, he begins to worry about him. “I thought you knew...”

“Jungkook did not move with you?”

“No. Why should he move with us?”, the boy asked confused by his father reaction. Tae's vision begins to take on the appearance of a large puzzle. Does the fact that she has her own apartment indicate that Jungkook is not interested in dating her? Does this mean she'll need financial support again? Who is supporting her? As he glances down at his knees, a series of questions begin to flood his thoughts. “Dad? Hello?”

“Yeah, sorry.”, Tae mumbles as he notices a well-known face at the window. “Look, it’s Jungkook.” Just as he finished his sentence, his son opens his window. “Hey Jungkook.” His voice was neutral, despite his dissatisfaction with Jungkook's appearance.

“Hello you two! Were you about to visit me?”, Jungkook wonders as points at the bag. “Is somebody staying with me tonight?”

“Actually no...”, Tae answers as he looks at Jungkook still confused.

“Are you alright?”, Jungkook wonders as he looks at Tae’s son. “Is your father feeling unwell?” But the only response he gets is the boy shaking his head. Even though Tae is hesitant to ask, fearful of receiving information he does not want, he knows he must gather more information about Y/N's new address.

“He just told me that they are not living here anymore... What’s going on? I thought they are still living with you.��

“Didn’t Y/N call you?”, Jungkook wonders. “I thought she informed you.” Jungkook's baffled expression indicates that his words must be true. Did she tell him she was going to call Tae so Tae wouldn't know if she didn't tell him?

“She did not say a word about moving out... Not even today when I told her I will drive our son to meet his favorite player in the stadium...” A smile appears on Jungkook’s face as he looks back at the boy.

“You finally met him? How was it?”, he asks excited. The question immediately brings back the boy's bright smile.

“It was so cool! He signed most of the stuff and I got even more in the bag!”

“That’s awesome!” The loud clearing of Tae’s throat got Jungkook’s attention immediately. “Sorry. Actually, we have practice later on... Will you make it on time?”

“That is why I planned to bring him to his mother before practice but now I don’t know where she even lives. One again!”

“Relax. It is not that far from here.”, Jungkook comments as he looks at his phone. “We should still make it on time.”

“So, where is it?”

“I don’t know if I should tell you...”, Jungkook says as he pretends to think about it. “If I ride along with you, I’ll tell you.”

“Why would you drive with us?”

“Because from there you will drive to practice, and I will not have to drive myself to get there.”

“Fine.”, Tae sighs as he unlocks the car. “Get in.”

“Just take the directions I give you.”, Jungkook says as he opens the car door widely. Tae’s look felt like fire on Jungkook’s skin. “Get in the backseat, I think it is better if I sit in the front.”

“But dad allowed me to sit in the front today.”, the boy answers.

“Yeah, it is his day today.”, Tae confirms. “Take a seat on the backseat!”

“Do I need to remind you on the few sweets I helped you hide from your siblings?”, Jungkook whispers. Even the further Tae leans forward, he cannot hear what Jungkook has just whispered. Without saying anything else the boy grabs his stuff and gets out of the car.

“What are you doing?”, Tae wonders as he watches his son opening the back door. “Wait a minute.”

“Uh, the front seat is so nice.”, Jungkook comments as he looks at Tae. “Any problems?”, Jungkook questions as he fastens his seatbelt.

“Yeah, you! Sit in the back.”

“Uhm, no. If you want to have her address, I will drive with you like that.” In frustration, Tae wipes his face with his fingers.

“Fine.”

“Do you keep repeating what I have said?”

“Do you keep repeating what I have said?”, Jungkook repeats.

“Stop this right now.”

“Jungkook!”

“Jungkook!” The boy watches from the backseat as the scene unfolds in front of him. It is not easy for him, but he tries his best to keep the laughter as quiet as possible. “See, we are entertaining your son.”

“We entertain? No, you make my hair grow white.”

“Just start the car.”, Jungkook says as he turns around to the boy. “You got to tell me all about today! But safety first, fasten your seatbelt. We know your father is not the best driver.”, he winks at the boy which made the boy laugh in an instead.

“I heard that!”, Tae comments annoyed.

“It was meant to be heard.”, Jungkook answers as he turns his body to the front of the car.

💧💧💧

“Park somewhere around here.”, Jungkook suggests as they arrive at near Y/N’s house. “It is right over there.”

“The one with the small glass on the front door?”

“Yeah, that is the one.” Tae nods whilst he unfastens his belt. “What are you doing?”

“Going to the door to check out the house.”

“You do not have to do that, dad.”, his son interrupts. “We are not fully settled in yet and my room is not finished. Can you come another time...? Like, when sis is not in the house for example?” Of course, he couldn't have forgotten about his own child, who claims to despise him. If Y/N would even let him in is a different story, especially since she appears to still feel the same way as his daughter.

“I understand.”, Tae says as he fakes a smile. “I will wait until you are in the house.”

“Thanks dad!”

“Bye big boy! Be good to your mom, okay? Don’t let your sisters annoy you!”, Tae tells him quickly as his son grabs his stuff.

“Thanks for today!”, his son says quickly before he runs towards the entry.

“He looks truly happy, doesn’t he?”, Tae comments happily.

“He does... Uhm, Tae?”

“Yeah.”

“We shall get going?”

“Yeah, we should...”

“Up to practice then.”, Jungkook states as he puts the seat belt on again. He waits for a moment, but Tae is still not moving the car key. “Tae?”

“Who does this place belong to?”

“It once belonged to one of our members. Can you get going? I really don’t want to be late.”

“Which member?”

“Can you ask and drive?”

“No.”, Tae says in a strict tone. “Tell me, who bought it?”

“She bought it on credit.”

“Y/N does not have the saving to get a credit from a bank.”

“I don’t know how much you know but if you really need to talk about Y/N’s money, talk with her.”

“Alright. I will.”, Tae says replies. “I won’t tell her you told me.” With those words, he abruptly exits the car and begins walking directly towards her house.

“Where are you going?”, Jungkook screams as he watches Tae walking away. “Tae! Tae! Damnit.” Quickly, he jumps out of the car to follow Tae. “Tae! Don’t you hear me?” With a few steps, he moves in front of Tae and prevents him from walking.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”, Tae wonders as he looks at him.

“Tell you what?”

“That she moved!”

“It just did not come up. She has her own place like you wanted, isn’t that great?”

“Yeah, it is... but something smells fishy. I have a weird feeling about it.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Where is the money coming from? I know she has a well-paid job but, no matter how many extra hours she might have done, Y/N would not be able to collect that amount of money in that short time.”

“You know she is working, right?”

“I do but, that apartment building does not look cheap.”

“You know who she is working for, right? You don’t know, do you?”

“Does it matter? She is not even working full time. How is she supposed to pay the debts?”

“Just answer me!” He takes a deep breath, irritated at Jungkook's style of speaking.

“Y/N is working in a top company that has more than enough money to even lend money to their own employees. She asked if she would be able to get one and they gave her one straight away.”

“Just like that?”

“Yes. When they gave her a little raise for the great work, they mentioned it. When she explained her situation, they offered it, and she took it.”

“If you told me all of this just a little sooner...!”

“I didn’t know if you cared to know and next to that, I am not even sure what another member might have told you.”

“I need to think about that... Let’s get to practice.”, Tae speaks slowly as he walks back to the car. “Fuck!”

“What?”

“My key! My car key is still in the car which locked itself already!”

“No, the car key is not in the car.”, Jungkook says laughingly as he holds up the key. “Be happy I am thinking.”

“Shut up.”, he commands as he takes the keys. “Get in.”

💧💧💧

The session felt like it lasted forever, and everyone's clothes appeared to be drenched in sweat. To everyone's delight, their dance choreographer requests a break. The gathering rapidly divided into several groups, and several people exited the room with their phones in hand. Jimin is interested by the expression on Yoongi's face as he continues to watch Tae.

“Why are you looking at him like that?”

“Is Tae like the old Tae again or is it just scaring me?”, Yoongi whispers to Jimin as they watch Tae talking with Jungkook and Namjoon.

“I am not quite sure. I mean, maybe the old one.”, Jimin whispers back as they watch Tae’s body language.

“So, he is not mad at you anymore?”

“Hopefully.”

“Remember what Jungkook texted.”, Yoongi tells him as he turns to grab a water bottle. “Let’s hope her work does not give her any troubles with the loan.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Yeah, I hope so-”, Yoongi stops to speak as he sees the smile on Jimin’s face. “What is the grinning about?”

“The money was mine.”, Jimin confesses. The sudden confession made Yoongi almost choke on his water. “The money is not from the company she is working for.”

“You did what?”

“It was my wife’s plan. Don’t ask me why, but she wants them back together.”

“She would be a fool if she does.”

“Don’t call her a fool!”

“What else am I supposed to call her when she thinks like that? Besides, How does that even work? How did the company even say yes to that plan...?”

“Well, happy wife, happy life.”, Jimin sighs satisfied. “You have no clue how stressed I am if Y/N figures out that that was my money. I hope their friendship is strong enough for it.”

“What if she transfers the money to their account?”

“She can’t because the account on the paper is mine.”

“You are a smart idiot.”

“Not me, but my wife is. She made the plan.”

“Of course, you are following her like a puppy.”, Yoongi says as he rolls his eyes.

“Oh, and you are not like that when it is about your wife?” Yoongi’s movement stop as soon as he hears Jimin’s words.

“Anyway, do you have any other idea on how to help her? We both agree that she would be better off with Jungkook but we both know we cannot make that choice for her.”

“If they’d have stayed together longer, they might would have gotten the chance to.”

“What are you talking about?”, Hoseok asks as he puts his arms around his members. “Why are you guys whispering?”

“Nothing at all.”, Jimin explains as Yoongi walks away.

“Good. Don’t destroy the good vibes we finally have in this studio.”, Hoseok warns.

“We are not about to.”, Jimin answers as he walks up to the other members.

💧💧💧

“Jungkook, can you stay a moment.”, Tae requests, as his mind still refuses to allow him a breather. Too many questions annoy him, and too many concerns run through his head. While waiting for everyone else to exit the room, Jungkook packs his belongings in his bag and throws it over his shoulder as he moves closer to Tae. “I think I need to say something out loud.”

“Out loud? I am listening.”

“I want Y/N to be happy as much as I want to be back with her. But I came to the realization, I cannot have her if she does not feel for me anymore.”

“Well, talk with Y/N. I cannot help you with that.”

“I am not asking for help or anything like that but, I need to know where you two are at right now.”, Tae says with a sad voice. “Be honest with me.”

“I already told you everything.”

“Is there anything else you might have not mentioned yet?”

“Listen, I think, I will always feel for Y/N in the way I do and the longer I lived with her, the more protective of her I got. I realized that my love for her is not as good as I hoped.”

“What are you trying to tell me?”

“I will tell you the same thing I told her. If she wants to go out with me, I am happy to do so. But if it is not me who makes her happy, we are better off as friends.”

“You really said that to her?”

“Yeah.”, Jungkook sighs. “I am feeling hurt and sad but, I can’t use her situation to benefit from it nor can I do it to you. Even though you would deserve to go through hell.”

“Thanks, Jungkook.”, Tae says as he holds his hand towards him. “Let’s restart from here.”

“A handshake?”, Jungkook asks surprised. “What for?

“A handshake to our friendship.”

“To... our... friendship? You want to restart?”

“I know you can’t forget nor can anyone who is involved in what I did, but I want to do better. You helped Y/N, when she needed help. She is the mother of my children, and you helped my children as well. That is what a true friend does.” For a brief moment, it seemed like manipulation to Jungkook, but it sounded too genuine to be a trick.

“Okay.”, Jungkook says as he shakes Tae’s hand. “But the very next bad thing you do to her or your kids, will be the last time we were friends.”
