Chapter 15

Kim Corporation ~

Taehyung was sitting in his office reading his documents when he gets a call, seeing which he picks it up with a smirk on his lips and says, "So the news has finally reached you." On the other end, Bogum said angrily, "What the hell, Tae! Why did you do this to me?" Upon hearing this, Taehyung said in a stern voice, "This is your punishment for creating a misunderstanding between me and my wife and for provoking me against him". After listening to him, Bogum remained silent for a while and then suddenly spoke. "Wait!!! You decided to withdraw your investment from my next movie for that matter? How can you do this to me?" Taehyung said with a devilish smile, "This is your punishment and also a trailer. If after today you ever think of doing something like this, what can I do with you?" Saying that, Taehyung disconnected the call without saying anything. He smiled to himself and said, "I will not spare anyone who comes between me and my Kook, no matter who they are." Taehyung did all this to amuse Bogum. In reality, he didn't retract his investment because he knew Bogum had no ill intentions. It was all done in jest. Therefore, Taehyung had simply spread false news to Bogum, claiming he withdrew the investment and that the shooting couldn't commence due to a lack of funds. Bogum I'll know an the truth by night

In The Mall ~

Jungkook and Myung had relaxed to a great extent by now. Both of them had stopped crying and were sitting together, discussing their past experiences. While talking, Myung asked Jungkook, "I don't understand one thing. How did you change so suddenly? I mean, how did you suddenly accept Hanuel and Taehyung?"

Listening to him, Jungkook smiled and recounted the same fabricated dream to Myung, which he had narrated to Hanni and Joo Young. Upon hearing him, Myung said, "Oh! So that's it. Well, it's good that you had this dream a little earlier, but they say it might be better late than never." Both of them started laughing at his words.Then Jungkook said, 'Do you know who those villains were?' 'Who?' Myung asked, surprised. 'The adopted son of Joo Young and Jennie, Soojin,' Jungkook uttered through clenched teeth, taking the names of those three. Myung's eyes widened upon hearing his words. 'What? Really?' he exclaimed, surprised. Jungkook nodded yes. Myung waited for two minutes and then said, 'To be honest, I also don't like Jennie and Joo young. I think Jennie was just sticking with you because of your money; that's why she used you so much. And Joo young... he was not ashamed of flirting with a married man? I understand everything that happened to you was wrong, which is why you did all those things, but nothing wrong happened to them. So why were they doing all those things? Just for the money?" Displeasure was clearly visible on both their faces as Myung expressed his feelings.

Jungkook smiled after listening to him and said, 'But not anymore! Now I have decided that I will give all my love to Taehyung and Hanni and will prove to be a good wife and a good mother.' Myung was very happy to hear him talk, but then suddenly he made himself serious and said, 'Jungkook, I mean, has love awakened in your mind for Hanni, but for Taehyung... hasn't love awakened in your mind for him?'" Jungkook's face turned very serious after listening to him. Jungkook paused for a while and said, "I have forgiven him because... I know that whatever he did that night... he wouldn't have done it intentionally. He could never intentionally hurt me. He loves me so much that he can do anything for me. He sacrifices his life for me. He can take upon himself every misfortune that comes upon me. What has he not done for me till date? He would give up everything for me, even Hanni."Jungkook said all this based on his experiences from both his past and present life. Hearing this, Myung raised one eyebrow and said, "He loves you more than his own life. He can do everything for you. He can leave everything for you... I believe in all this, but Hanuel... I don't think he can leave Hanuel for you. I mean, man, for their own blood is very important... so think for yourself, how can Taehyung leave Hanuel?" Jungkook smiled after listening to him and said, "You don't know him, that's why you're saying this." Myung shrugged off his words by shaking his head and spoke, "Leave it, kook-ah. You are talking about Taehyung's feelings... but I asked about your feelings. So, tell me about the condition of your heart. Do you love Taehyung or not?" Upon hearing this, Jungkook closed his eyes, and Taehyung's face appeared in his mind, causing his cheeks to redden. His face suddenly seemed to glow. Jungkook looked at Taehyung's image in his closed eyes and, in a very gentle and sweet tone, with a slight smile on his lips, he said, "Isn't it love... I love Tae so much!" Jungkook said this with all his heart and intense feelings because he had truly fallen in love with Taehyung. This love wasn't from just a few days ago, but from a previous birth.

When Jennie was torturing him, Joo Young stood there silently, observing everything. During those moments, he used to think that if Taehyung were in his place, he would have taken Jennie's life.& didn't even allow Jennie to touch him. Whenever Jennie ate good food in front of him and offered him rotten and stale food, he recalled the delicious meals prepared by the chefs at Taehyung's villa, where Joo Young used to disdainfully push the food away. He remembered how Taehyung always made sure to ask Samchon if he had eaten anything before having his own meal. If he hadn't eaten, Taehyung would instruct his chefs to prepare his favorite dishes, ensuring that he had something to eat. How many tricks did he use just to feed him? Even when he was ill, Jennie would force him to do all the household chores, and Joo Young would intentionally push him, causing him to fall and further depleting his dwindling courage. Consequently, he wouldn't be able to work and would spend the entire day in bed, concerned about his injured body. During those moments, he would recall how Taehyung used to arrange doctors for him at the slightest hint of illness, and not just that, Taehyung would also leverage his connections to secure leave from shooting on his behalf. Often, Taehyung would do so without prior notification, compelling him to take a break and rest at home. There were several instances that made Jungkook realize what a significant mistake he had made by leaving Taehyung. Whenever he recalled Taehyung in such situations, he experienced emotions beyond mere regret - this feeling was love. Every day, Jungkook was consumed by worry about Taehyung. He constantly wondered what Taehyung would be like without him. Would Taehyung take care of himself properly? Would he eat and drink at the right times? How would he manage? Little did Jungkook realize that these questions and concerns were possibly the seeds of love for Taehyung taking root in his mind. As time passed, he nurtured those seeds, and the flowers of love for Taehyung bloomed in Jungkook's heart. This is how Jungkook gradually fell in love with Taehyung. Myung could clearly discern from Jungkook's expression the depth of his feelings for Taehyung. He felt immensely happy for his friend, finally acknowledging Taehyung and their mutual affection.

Myung smiled again and asked, 'So, when do you plan to express your love to Taehyung?'"Hearing his question, Jungkook responded, "I won't do it for now." Surprised, Myung asked, "Why?" Jungkook's eyes twinkled and a smile played on his lips as he explained, "Because I don't want him to learn about my feelings solely through my confession. I wish for him to recognize my love through my actions. I want him to understand my affection by witnessing the love in my eyes rather than just through my words." Upon hearing Jungkook's words, Myung became excited and exclaimed, "Wow, Kook-ah, you're truly in love!"Before Jungkook could say anything else, a bodyguard came running towards him and said in a panic, "Sir, the young master..." Upon hearing about Hanni, Jungkook stood up and asked, "What happened to Hanni?"The bodyguard said, "Sir, a child suddenly came and destroyed the building made of blocks by the young Master. When the staff asked the child to apologize to the young Master, the child refused. Young Master is very upset. He had built that structure with great effort. They were discussing placing a photo of the young Master on that building, but now everything's ruined. Please go and take care of young Master." Upon hearing this, Jungkook and Myung rushed immediately towards the play area
