"I know what is happening in this house and what exactly you are up to.I will save you the time and energy for a paternity test and make everything much easier for you . Just know one thing. My daughter and I don't need to prove ourselves to anyone. That's why after I tell you the truth I'm leaving here with her "
After Jungkook uttered those words there was silence as mother and son exchanged wry glances.
"Jungkook, please don't do that "Hyuna pleaded
Jungkook closed his eyes for a fraction of a second before opening them again.
"Ara isn't Namjoon 's daughter. Her father is in this very room. Kim Taehyung "he uttered
Jungkook could have sworn that he saw the sun setting off on Taehyung.He looked puzzled at first. Hyuna wasn't that much suprised.
"I have nothing else to say .He should be talking from this point onwards. He is the one who did this to me after all. Now do I have the permission to leave or shall I drag you to court for rape if you so try to stop me"his voice was colder than he had intended.
"Jungkook, if you do that then this family 's name will be drugged through the mud"Hyuna pleaded.
"I assume I have your permission "Jungkook said as he took Ara into his arms.
"Mom , you aren't letting Jungkook leave with my daughter "Taehyung 's eyes were suddenly cold, hiding his thoughts.
That got Jungkook totally irked at first .For a moment he stood there in shock not believing what Taehyung had just said.
"Is that all you have to say after what you did, animal. Do you have any shame? "Jungkook yelled hoarsely. His shoulders hunched over as he held Ara closer .
"Why didn't you tell me and I would have taken responsibility than making someone else the father of my daughter. "
Jungkook laughed humorlessly
"Tell you? You aren't worth of being a father Taehyung. Being a rapist says a lot.You know what baffles me the most is that you never had any memory of whatever you did to me. Should I really believe that. You ruined my life Taehyung .What do you mean by someone else? He was your brother and a better human than you will ever be"Jungkook tried to protect himself from the pain he felt by holding Ara even closer.
"I'm sorry for how I went about it but I'm not sorry for having you carry our daughter "
"You are really shameless and brazen. Did you stop to consider that I was married to your own brother "
"Jungkook, I was intoxicated and I'm really sorry. Even if I had the chance to undo it ,I still wouldn't. Just look what came out of it.Our beautiful Angel.I'm not saying I'm not sorry. I'm really ,trust me "
"I'm leaving .I can't stay in the same house with someone like you. Who knows what you might do next "
"Jungkook , stop being impossible. Do you really think the court will let you have her sole custody? No ,it won't because as much as you hate to admit it we are married. And as far as I know they won't give it to you because you aren't capable of taking care of her.You don't have the means to do so"Taehyung 's voice was expressionless
"Taehyung stop you are going overboard "Hyuna intervened.
"If he wants to go otherwise then he can but without my daughter. He came into this house with nothing and he will leave with nothing. It's your call if you want to leave her behind or stay here with her.If I were you I would go with the latter. There is nothing to lose"Taehyung gave Jungkook a cold stare.
"Taehyung! "Hyuna yelled before slapping her son for the first time in her life.
"I warned you didn't I? All my life I had never expected anything from you nor did I ever know you would disappoint me like this. You should know better than threatening or making things harder for him. If anything you should be on your knees right now. You are just like your father "she sobbed before going up her room.
Tears were welling up in Jungkook 's eyes as he held his startled daughter closer to his chest. Jimin who was silent amidst the bowl out escorted Jungkook out of the house for air that he greatly needed.
Taehyung just stood there frozen. Eyes brimming with tears. This was the second time he had cried except from his childhood. His mother who had overlooked his every mistake finally released her wrath upon him because of someone. Someone whom he had gravely wronged.
"I want to get divorced Hyung. I can't stand him. His threats won't work on me "Jungkook sniffed as he cradled Ara in his arms.
They were sitting on a park bench with Jimin.
"Jungkook, its not that easy. Your marriage isn't 6 months yet and taking into considering Ara's age the court won't be able to give it to you that easily. And Taehyung was right. It will only be your loss.They will take her away from you because you can't give her the life that Taehyung can give her. Most importantly he loves her a lot and thousands of people are aware of that. If he tells the court that he was drunk they are bound to believe him and you will lose your daughter "
"It's not fair, Hyung "Jungkook sobbed feeling deprived and empty.
"I know. Just make a compromise for her,Jungkook. I'm sure she will be happy to grow up with both her parents and as much as you hate to admit Taehyung is an excellent father putting aside whatever he did to you "
"Hyung, you make this sound easy .Maybe you are right. I never really want to display our dirty laundry in the court. Namjoon wouldn't want that. So I'm walking back into that house only for my daughter and because I have more to lose "Jungkook frowned.
"That's the spirit .Don't forget to bear your clows "
"Hyung, can I ask you something. Did you prank anyone this year? "
"Me,I pranked a lot of people and there is someone whom I pranked good. He couldn't even go to work for a whole week. I laughed like I never did "
"Just like how you pranked Taehyung and I? '
"You knew. How did you even find out. Actually I was paid handsomely for that and I won't tell you who that was. My client wouldn't like it"
"So this person you pranked good. What's he like? "
"Are you interested in him? No way he is mine and you are married "
"And when did a marriage ever stopped anyone from having fun.I don't wanna go up to be boring "
"Tell you what? Go and get dressed in the tightest jeans you can find and I will introduce you to some guy not him "
"Hyung, I'm joking. That is out of character for me "Jungkook laughed.
"That's sad 'he pouted.
Jungkook was glad that at least someone was moving on.He was happy for Jimin.
As for him ,a new chapter had opened up in front of him. At least he had gotten rid of his guilty. He didn't have to be unfair to anyone else.
Something that he had seen coming was Hyuna slapping Taehyung. Maybe she was that disappointed. As far as Jungkook had known her ,she was always calm and rational and funny.
He also wondered how Taehyung must be feeling. Knowing that his father had been a sensitive topic.
Jungkook actually thought of crushing at Jimin 's .A part of him felt that he had made Hyuna hit Taehyung. What if he goes back and the older takes it out on him,?
He got home at dusk. The house was dark.No one had lit the lights.He felt like a prey that had walked straight into the lion's den.
Shaking his thoughts off he laid a sleeping Ara on the couch so he could make formula for her
After he was done he woke her up and fed her.
