The following days Taehyung 's instagram ,Twitter and face book accounts were flooded with pictures of him, Jungkook and Ara.His following had also increased by 40%.Most of them followed him for his good looks.
Jungkook was playing along just for the sake of it.After a week he could finally go back to his daily routine. They went to different places for a week straight. Parks, malls
One afternoon Jungkook was chilling on the couch alone. Ara was well fed so she slept soundly.
Taehyung came out of nowhere and sat on the same couch blocking his view of the tv.
"Taehyung seriously "he groaned.
"Is there something that you aren't telling me. Something I should know. Something I did to you maybe? "
With iron control Jungkook raised his brows in question
"I don't know what you are getting at"
He felt the perspiration dampen the palms of his hands as he struggled to maintain his calm exterior .
"I think something happened between us.You don't remember? Taehyung 's eyes narrowed suspiciously
"Maybe I was just imagining it"
"Something like what? Are you sure? "Jungkook echoed his words incredulously.
"I'm really sorry. I don't think that I'm not in the right frame of mind these days "
"I advice you go and get checked out. It could be serious "Jungkook swallowed dryly
"Scratch that. You won't believe what happened today. I went to the home affairs today and they never sent anyone over to our house "
"So who were there? "
"What are the the odd?We were obviously pranked. It was fools day after all "
"I can't believe you lashed out at me for nothing. I won't ever forgive you. You are so stupid. Can't you read between the lines"Jungkook yelled.
"Well did you. I feel like mom is behind this. She got me arrested because of this thing once in the past "
"Did anyone call mommy? "a voice emerged from the door .
"Where were you? How could you just leave on the last minute? "Taehyung asked his mother.
"I bumped into an old boyfriend of mine and he wanted me to go on a vacation with him "
"Is he married? "
"I didn't ask. I really don't have time for this. I need to see my granddaughter. How are you Jungkook "
"I'm fine mother and you. ?"
"I just hope that Taehyung didn't fight with you "
"He didn't "Jungkook lied before glaring at his husband.
"You have become really responsible my son.You now made a good husband as well as a father "she pinched his cheek
"Can you at least show respect for me.Many people tell me that I look like Ara but you didn't. Are you blind or just jealous? "
"You are right. I thought I was seeing things. I was so happy to see your pictures together on social media. The three of you look cute together "she squeaked.
An uneasy sensation crept over Jungkook 's gut as he chucked nervously. Hyuna could feel the younger 's uneasiness.
Jungkook went into his room and almost fell on his knees from relief. If Taehyung had kept on pressing him then he would have snapped and blurted out the truth. Without a doubt he was sure that Taehyung was recollecting memories from that night. Jungkook wanted to take Ara 's birth secret to his grave but Taehyung was proving to be problematic by being too inquisitive.
He vowed to keep a safe distance from the older.
Three months went by quickly. Namjoon 's will was read and he had divided everything he owned between the four of them. Jungkook became emotional .Taehyung 's interest in Jungkook had grown to tremendous length. He would steal glances from time to time without being obvious about it.Jungkook had became Taehyung 's sectret passion.
Ara had grown up healthy, extremely cheerful and very pretty. What's more was that there was no more denying that she was a slippting image of Taehyung and it had Jungkook over the edge. The real suprise was no one else was buzzing about it.
As Jungkook wanted to forget that Ara was Taehyung 's daughter he couldn't. Every look at her reminded him of the painful bitter truth but whom was he to blame after all. He wondered why no outsiders posed any question about her birth.
Baby Ara was sitting and starting to crawl not to mention how loud she was. Her screams were intense. To make things worse she was teething and would bite anyone, anywhere .
Ara was more than an excuse for Taehyung to see Jungkook during their family time.She was the reason why he entered the younger 's room. Jungkook was also aware about the way Taehyung looked at him. It had changed and made him utterly uncomfortable. He looked at him wrong and breathed on him wrong as well.
Their marriage was in a state of stalemate .Taehyung treated Jungkook as he deserved and even more.
This brought back memories from that alwful night. The things that Taehyung did to his body made Jungkook wanna weep so bad .Every touch of his left a bruise on Jungkook 's body.
As the memories were coming back to him, Jungkook could feel himself tremble and his clenched fist shaking as well. His nails went to dig into the flesh of his pulm. How he regretted being weak that night.
Hyuna sat on the couch trying to fix Ara's hair by she slipped through her fingers by literally squirming away. She was way too adamant for a seven month old.A quality neither Namjoon or Jungkook possessed according to Hyuna.
Ara didn't cry as much rather she screamed to get what she wanted.
When Hyuna had seen that the toddler was peacefully playing on the carpet with her toys she walked over to Jungkook who seemed pretty out of it.
"Ara has rush on her neck ,what happened? "she started snapping Jungkook out of his trance. .
"That. The doctor said I should give her other fluids that aren't formula .So I thought Orange juice would do but she ended getting a mild allergic reaction to it. Hopefully I got it treated with rash cream "
"That's strange. Taehyung has the same allergy "Hyuna said thoughtfully.
"What? "Jungkook yelled literally.
"He is also allergic to oranges "Hyuna confessed and Jungkook found the glass he was holding shattered on the ground, his hand trembling.His face went pale.
"Are you okay. You don't look well. Go and rest. I will bring Ara to you when she wants you "
Jungkook gave her a slight nod.
He slowly walked to his room feeling out of sorts. Why did his daughter have to resemble Taehyung a lot and even his mannerisms and every little bit thing like an allergy.Those things were going to be the end of him. How long was he going to live in a lie for? .Jungkook didn't fail to register the unsettled look that Hyuna had on her face. Was she coming on to him. Did she smell something. The more Ara grew up the more it was almost inconceivable to believe that he wasn't Taehyung 's daughter. There needed no telling. It was was because no one had to guts to address the elephant in the room yet.
He didn't know how fast time flew by.He only found himself sitting in the dark and staring at the ceiling with the same old emptiness in his heart.
If he were his old self then he would have gone into a panic attack but this Jungkook had to be strong to face the world for his daughter.
