Ignore the mistakes
____________
December 14th, 17 more days until Tae's birthday , and press conference days.
Jeongguk sits there with a whole bunch of cameras in his face, some flashing on him, microphone in his hand as Chungha sits on his left along with her parents, and his parents on his right.
They ask all of their questions toward the others, all of them talking about the marriage, talking about the benefits, until they get to him.
"Jeon Jeongguk, are you excited to marry the love of your life?" Jeongguk furrowed his eyebrows and chuckles, "No, I'm not."
There were a few gasps, flashes getting faster, and glares coming from Chungha, his parents, and the Lee's all glare at him.
He's nervous, but he knows he has to do this. He has to let the public know that this is all a contract, he doesn't want this, and it's illegal.
A different reporter speaks up, "Mr.Jeon, why do you say that?"
"Because this marriage is a illegal contract made by my dad. I already love someone else, I've loved that someone since my college days. But I won't mention their name. I'm taking everyone who was involved in this contract to court and sueing." Jeongguk revealed.
Jeongguk knows that Taehyung is watching. He doesn't know how he's feeling, if he's nervous, or happy that Jeongguk is doing this. But all he knows is that Taehyung is witnessing Jeongguk finally shutting it down and doing what he needs to do.
"Sir, can I ask if you ever were interested or loved Chungha?" A reporter asked.
"I never did love her and never will be interested in her either. I want to break the contract on the marriage." Jeongguk cringed at that question. But someone was pissed at what he said. Chungha gets up with a loud screech of her chair, quickly walking backstage with curse words spewing out her mouth.
The Lee's glared at him deeply and left after their daughter. But Jeongguk's parents were livid.
"Shut everything down....Right now!" Sangyeol yells, Jeongguk not being fazed one bit.

"What the fuck was that, Jeon Jeongguk?!" Chaeseul shouted, pointing to where they were just seated at.
"It was the truth. That's what that was." Jeongguk responded. His parents didn't like that he messed up their money deal. And he couldn't care less about it.
"Jeongguk, you ruined something that was going so well!" Sangyeol was screaming at this point, face extremely red as his eyes pierce into Jeongguk's soul.
"Nothing was going well since college. You knew from the start that I didn't want this, nor did I even sign the contract. And you knew that I was already in a relationship!"
"With a Kim!" Chaeseul yells.
"Oh? Is that what this whole thing is about? You ruined this whole marriage because you're still messing around with that...Kim!?" His father questioned.
"I said it at the conference, didn't I? And I wanted to end this whole illegal shit because I want to be free from your latches and be with Taehyung. And it'll come soon." Jeongguk retorted.
He starts to walk away from his parents that went silent, "You'll get sued and stripped away from the company very soon." Jeongguk ended the argument with those last words, walking out the venue with a swift beating heart and a deep sigh.

Taehyung predicted that this was going to be every one of their reactions once Jeongguk said it all at the conference. Chungha would be dramatic, the Lee's doing the same, and the Jeon's being furious.
He turned the TV off right after Jeongguk's father yelled at them to clear it all, hoping that Jeongguk was okay.
He was relieved that this would be finally over.
Taehyung looks at his phone, rubbing his tiny bump and looks at Twitter, seeing Chungha name dropping him. Taehyung stares at his screen for a good 7 seconds.
He didn't mess shit up. "Chungha's mind and her imagination because what the fuck," Taehyung curses out. Now he's pissed.
He couldn't just let Chungha come on the internet and lie on his name and make things up. Or even name drop him. Jeongguk didn't mention his name for a reason.
And that's exactly why Jeongguk didn't mention his name at all. Because of her fans. One thing Chungha loves to do is go online and enable her fans to send hate to him.
Since the start.
He starts reading the tweets, hate tweets after hate tweets, until he's seen this one account defending him with all their might.
He smiles a bit, happy to see someone support him and understand him and Jeongguk.
He frowns once he come across Koreaboo just posted.
Jeongguk didn't reveal his name. Why is Koreaboo feeding into the lies? They always do this, always twist the situation.
He sees that Amber account again and sighs. This person is fighting so hard for him.
Taehyung felt tears building up in his eyes, going to this persons account and seeing them defend him (along with a few others), so much against thousands of Chungha fans attacking him.
Taehyung was reading more of the comments, tears now running from his eyes as he looks at the horrible names they're giving him.
He hears the door open and close and quickly shuts his phone off and wiping his tears with his hoodie sleeve.
"Baby doll?" Jeongguk calls out, walking towards him while taking off his suit jacket.
Taehyung sniffles, catching Jeongguk's attention completely.
"Princess, are you crying?" Jeongguk asked softly, sitting down beside his lover and holding him close.
Taehyung covers his eyes and starts to sob, "I-I'm just h-happy." Which isn't a lie. He's happy that Jeongguk is calling off the marriage.
But Jeongguk knows that Taehyung has to be crying for a completely different reason. He knows that Taehyung is happy, but this type of cry isn't a happy one. He could tell.
He could tell by the way Taehyung was clutching his phone, glancing down at it, biting down his lips to suppress an even louder sob.
But Jeongguk didn't press on to it, at all. He knows Taehyung will tell him, so he doesn't worry about Taehyung keeping anything from him. All he does was calm Taehyung down while whispering sweet nothings in his ear, pecking his forehead, rubbing the tiny baby bump, all until Taehyung fell asleep from his sobs.
Jeongguk lays both of them down on the couch, hand on Taehyung's waist, other hand holding Taehyung's phone, feeling it furiously vibrate under his fingers.
He looks at the screen and unlocks it, his lovers phone going straight to Twitter, where all of the notifications were coming from.
The ceo scrolls through, seeing Chungha name drop Taehyung, sending him a mass amount of hate, and Koreaboo twisting it.
Jeongguk was livid now. Chungha has lost it.
Jeongguk has to do something about this. This hate isn't healthy for Taehyung at all. He doesn't even deserve it.
He has to make that court date as soon as he can.
