AUTHOR'S POV

Taehyung enters his apartment exhaustedly, totally numb. He drags his tired body to the nearest couch, knocking down a chair in the process but he pays no mind to it.

He lays down on the couch facing the ceiling, as tears again begin to fall down, nothing made sense to him. Why would his father snatch his only opportunity to happiness in life? Weren't parents supposed to think about their children's happiness? Then why would his father force him to marry a complete stranger? But wasn't his father always like that? Selfish and ignorant....

Then his mom, for whom he followed everything his father commanded just so she could live in peace. His father was always ready to throw her out or harm her if he refused to agree to his demands. Was it bad if he loved his mother who didn't once try to understand him? Why won't she stand up for him? Why did she always stay silent when his father mistreated him?

Namjoon his brother, his Hyung, the only one who always stood up for him. But why he didn't protect him today? Why didn't he find a solution to his problems this time?

Hoseok who was supposed to be his friend, why did he propose a offer like this?  Didn't he feel any sympathy towards him for once? Didn't he make him suffer enough?

Why? Why always him? He felt like he was about to explode. So many questions but no answers, he felt alone....lost... helpless...and then the marriage.

Yeah right, the marriage....he chuckled sadly, sobbing again. Mr.Jeon, his boss since last 7 years. What was his father even thinking while agreeing to such a ridiculous thing?! It would sound so unprofessional to marry his boss not to mention the age gap between him and Mr.Jeon. How will he explain this to his boss? He might even lose his job because as far as he knows Mr.Jeon wouldn't be aware about this marriage.

Mr.Jeon's mom suggested many people but he always rejected them even before meeting them properly so she started keeping it a secret from him, taking him to meet them directly. Now taehyung felt more scared to meet his boss tomorrow.

Mr.Jeon is a good person, but he could be very strict when required. He doesn't know Mr.Jeon much personally but working for him for years has given him an idea of his personality. But he couldn't predict his boss's reaction to this situation.

He sighs, sitting up, rubbing his hands up and down on his face. Crying won't take him anywhere, he should put himself together. He would stay strong and face the problems bravely, he couldn't let his father enjoy his helplessness. He would make this seem as if it didn't bother him, this was his chance to get rid of his father.

Finally, feeling a little better, taehyung enters his room removing his shirt leaving him half naked. He heads to the bathroom to wash his face, swollen and red from all the crying.

Finishing his night routine, he lies down on his bed hugging a pillow close to his bare chest, he preferred to sleep without a shirt.

Taehyung decides to take a leave from office tomorrow and contact his lawyer in the morning. He needs to make sure that his father doesn't back out later.

Switching off the lights of his room, he closes his eyes, hugging the pillow closer falling into a deep sleep.

"Bella!! Moon!!"
A tall man in his early thirties calls out as soon as he enters his mansion, soon loud pitter patter of paws hitting the floor is heard followed by two excited barks.

"My babies"
The man laughs adorably, hugging the two fully grown up golden retrievers  falling back on the couch behind him.

The two grown up baby girls are just two year old, he adopted them together, even though they have grown up to their full size but still behave as pups. They can very naughty together giving a hard time to the house maids, but still adored by everyone.

They are extremely protective of their owner, looking for him is the first thing they do after waking up, watching him during workout and sometimes sitting on his back during push ups just like they used to do as pups, waiting for him on the house entrance when he's late and much more.

"Missed me? I missed you too" He speaks in baby voice and giggling loudly as they lick all over his face. He stands up carrying his babies in each of his bulky arms, to him it wasn't a big deal perks of working out but to the others it sure was a shocking sight to witness him carry two grown up golden retrievers together.

He enters his room, freeing the two squirming babies on his bed, removing his blazer heading towards the bathroom for a relaxing shower.

He comes out of bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist walking to his closest, picking out some sweatpants to wear, leaving his upper torso bare, all the tattoos on display making him look hotter.

He picks up his phone from the nightstand to check the emails and messages, unconsciously ignoring the two impatient babies, though he could feel their eyes on his back.

Moon barks out clearly trying to catch his attention while Bella follows him through her eyes cuddling with moon happily.

"Just coming babies"
He chuckles trying to finish as fast as possible so he could give all his attention to his babygirls.

"Finish!! Come on dinner time girls"
He speaks putting his phone back on the night stand. Soon the two dogs jump down from the bed with excited barks, tails wagging rapidly just from the word 'dinner'. Food is one among the many things that made them extra energetic.

He chuckles fondly as the two fluffballs run to the kitchen leaving him behind. He follows them equally excited, the two dogs were like his family to him always making his days brighter. Living in a big mansion alone, can be very depressing but with these two he never really feels alone.

They finish their respective dinners joyfully, leaving for his room again. He lies down on his bed followed by his babies cuddling against him.

But a loud ringtone disturbs their cuddling session, moon and Bella whine at the disturbing noice. He furrows his eyebrows wondering who called so late but relaxes as the screen displays "Mom😘".

"Jungkookie"
He hears an excited voice as soon as he picks up the phone.
