Seeing Namjoon Jin hurried towards Jungkook's side and tugged him towards him, pressing his lips to Jungkook, he kissed him frantically until the kiss was returned with some uncertainty. Leaning away breathless, Jin stared at Jungkook, simply ignoring Namjoon's presence. "Thank you for stopping by; I love you; call me when you get home with Ae Ri."

As Jungkook was about to say something concerning the kiss, Namjoon cleared his throat, and Jungkook glanced towards him then back at Jin, "Let's talk later."

"Okay, see you later." he gave Jungkook a faltering smile and waved at him as he left his office. "What are you doing here?!" Jin snapped at Namjoon once Jungkook was out of sight.

Namjoon stared at Jin and smiled, "so that's your husband, does he know those lips were against mine earlier?"

"I swear I am going to call security and have then escort you-"

"Oh, calm down, I am not here to cause any trouble. I want to apologize for my actions earlier. Did you receive my gift?" Namjoon wandered into Jin's office and shoved the door close.

Jin took a step back as Namjoon came closer towards him, "please stop right there. I don't want you here, and you are not allowed in here. I was serious early when I told you if you cannot respect my boundaries, then the deal will be off. You are a client, and nothing more, I have no interest in you."

Namjoon rolled his eyes, ignoring Jin's words that sounded more like nonsense to him; he knew Jin was playing hard to get, hence why he kissed his husband before him, "you like playing hard to get, don't you? I saw you just now, trying to make me jealous."

A look of disgust forms on Jin's face, "you think I am playing hard to get? Are you sick, what about no, don't you understand? Please get out!"

An annoyed hiss departs from Namjoon, and he glances his eyes up and down Jin's body, then he licked his lips and smirked, "we will meet again soon, wait for me."

"What a fucking creep," Jin mumbles to himself after Namjoon vacates his office.

Jimin looked up from his computer when Jin walked into his office, "thank god you are here; I want to apologize for earlier." Jimin got up from his chair and stepped towards Jin, who had taken a seat on the sofa in his office, leaning his head against the headrest.

Taking a seat next to Jin, he observed how quiet Jin was, which made him concerned, "is everything okay? I called the lawyer for you earlier, and he said he could meet with you tomorrow-"

"Jungkook and I aren't getting a divorce," Jin states and sits up to look at Jimin.

"W-what?, but, I am sorry I don't understand, what's with the sudden change?"

Jin sighs and shakes his head, "Jimin, I don't want a divorce, I love my family, through every high and low Jungkook has always been there for me. When I met him, I told you how much I knew he was my person, the one for me. I can't give that up, and I shouldn't have to. I want to work on my marriage, I want to fix what's wrong with us, and I am not sure if it's possible, but I want to try, and if it does end in a divorce, then at least I can say I tried, we tried."

"What's there to work out though, he outright said he was okay with you dying? You know you will never be able to work on your marriage while being a CEO; Jungkook just wants you home to himself; he hates it that you are here in charge, being great, it makes him feel less than. It's never going to change; he will never understand the reason why you work the way you do, he will never get it that you had all those kids, not because you wanted to, but you only did it to shut him up. He won't get it how hard it has been, how hard it is to balance everything and be this super person he wants you to be. He won't get it! He is not getting it!" Jimin yells as he breaks down and begins to cry.

Taking a deep breath, Jin scoots towards his best friend and hugs him, "Jimin, Jungkook is not Yoongi. I don't know what's going on between you and your husband, but Jungkook and I, our marriage is different, I don't want to give up on it. Whenever I talk about Jungkook, you get triggered thinking about your own marriage, and maybe the advice you are trying to give me is the advice you need to take. If Yoongi is hurting you, you need to stand up to him, or maybe seek counseling, I don't know. I can't figure it out for you, especially not while my marriage is in shambles right now, but I am here to listen, I am your best friend, and I am always here for you."

Jimin wipes his eyes and looks up at Jin, "You are right, and I am sorry, it's just been a lot for me lately, and I have been trying to keep it in, but I feel like I am going to explode. If you and Jungkook can work things out, then you should. Yoongi and I, I don't know anymore; every time I think about getting a divorce, I become a coward; also, it doesn't help that I am pregnant again."

Jin's eyes widen, "W-what, you are pregnant?"

"Yeah, he wanted us to have another one, and to shut him up, as usual, I agreed. And besides, after seeing his reaction to you having an abortion without Jungkook knowing, I wasn't trying to go down that path again."

"Wow, I don't know what to say."

"I know. When I think about my life, I get like that too. Here at work, I am such a boss; everyone looks up to me, they all know my name, but I am just, no one when I go home. The kids won't even spend five minutes in the room with me. It's like I get home, and they are like, oh, you are here again. But if he walks into the room, they are all over him, their smiles, everything is incomparable to what I receive.

For them, he makes them happy because he is there with them, but without me, the house, the cars, the private schools, the lavish birthday parties, they wouldn't have any of it, my absence is a sacrifice for their comfort, and he and them don't understand. At least, Jungkook can carry your household with you; Yoongi has been chasing after a dream of being an artist that won't ever happen. Yet, my money is being invested in every instrument he needs, but somehow I am still the lousy spouse and parent; how does it work that way?"

Jin stared at his best friend, he was without words, he didn't know how to comfort him, and he had never tried prying into Jimin's marriage, even though friends, he always assumed Jimin's life was okay because he presented it that way to him. However, now he saw it wasn't as polished as it appeared. He knew Jimin didn't want many kids, and he and Yoongi fought about it often, but he didn't realize the depth to how far things went beyond that.

"Jungkook and I are going to do marriage counseling; maybe you should consider that with Yoongi? I don't if it can help, but it's worth a try; maybe it can help him see where he is causing you pressure even when you are doing your best? I know for me that's a big thing with Jungkook."

"Maybe. Do you want to go for a drink later?"

"You are pregnant, so no, and Jungkook and I are breaking the news to Ae Ri tonight that we are separating while we figure things out. Oh, before I forget, I am handing Namjoon over to you, he is a pain in the fucking ass, and honestly, if you can't work with him, I am canceling the deal with his company; I know our company will take a hit, but he is not worth it, he has crossed the line too many times. Jungkook and I even fought because of him earlier."

"So you are not getting a divorce?" Ae Ri asked as her eyes glistened with tears listening to her parents talk about separation.

Jungkook shook his head and rubbed her back, "no, we are not, we are going to try to work this out, but with some help, so we can be better parents for you."

"Okay, but will I get to see my Appa still?"

"Of course, I will take you on the weekends, and your dad will keep you throughout the week."

"But how long will you separate?"

Jin and Jungkook looked at one another and then back at Ae Ri, "that we don't know; it will take some time."

"Are you separating because of me?"

"No, gosh no, it's just your dad and me, we need to figure some things out, grown-up stuff, but nothing you did or caused. If it were because of you, we would remain together forever, and that's why we want to work this out as quickly as we can, so we can be a family together again. Right Jungkook?"

Jungkook looked at Jin and nod, "yeah, that's right, sweetie, we want to fix this so we can be better parents to you."

"But you are already a good parent to me, daddy."

Jin had never felt such a blow to his heart as his daughter's words left her mouth, and she stared at Jungkook.

"Your Appa and I both are, and we will become even better," Jungkook said, resting his hand on Jin's thigh.
