Third Person's P.O.V :-

"Mom..." Taehyung tearfully called out in a soft voice as his mother proceeded to drag him across the Kim family home, passing by many relatives in the process and towards, what Taehyung guessed was, his childhood bedroom.

Mrs. Kim slammed the door open and flung Taehyung inside,"Stand there" She whispered in a tense voice before she quickly peeped outside to see if anyone was nearby.

"Mom..." Taehyung once again called out with a strained voice, guilt and shame swirling in his gut.

Mrs. Kim wordlessly closed the door and locked them from the inside, her tense back facing Taehyung.

"...Since when?" She slowly asked as she hesitantly turned around, showing Taehyung just how scared she was,"How long has this been going on?" She asked, her voice leaking hints of paranoia.

"I-.." Taehyung stuttered trying to answer that.

Since when should Taehyung say? A month ago since Jungkook had started making moves on him or a few days ago when Taehyung realized his own feelings?

"I-I don't know, we-weeks?" He spoke falteringly, fearing what his mother's reaction would be.

"Weeks?! Taehyung?!" She gasped in utter shock, her eyes widening in horror,"Did Jimin find out?!" She asked again, wishing with every fiber in her body for Taehyung's answer to be negative.

"N-no, he doesn't know" Taehyung whispered in a tiny voice and looked down at the floor, tears slipping past his eyes.

Mrs. Kim sighed in relief before approaching Taehyung and firmly holding him by the arms,"Taehyungie, baby, you do realise that this has to end right?" She asked out in paranoia, cupping Taehyung's cheek to make him face her.

Taehyung sniffled at her words,"O-of course.." He uttered out, feeling miserable inside,"I kn-know..." He said again, not know what else to say, tears still slipping past his eyes.

Mrs. Kim bit her lips at her son's words,"What you did in the kitchen was inherently reckless, do you have the slightest idea what would have happened if it was someone else other than me?" She asked out anxiously,"The Mistress' spies are all over the premises, every wall has ears and eyes, this is not the place where you act recklessly!" She harshly whispered, evidently very upset that her son was foolish enough to not think things through.

"I...I'm sorry" Taehyung choked out, his mother's words made sense. They made total sense. On the other hand, it sounded like she was upset about his actions rather than his affair. It made him think that maybe his mother could help him.

"I like him" Taehyung said out loud without reconsidering,"I'm in love with him" He said again, his chest tightening up as his mother looked at him in shock,"What should I do, mom?" He whimpered out as his legs gave out and he started sobbing into his hands.

"Taehyung!" Mrs. Kim called out at the loud noise of knees hitting the floor and crouched down beside him,"Dear Lord, did you hurt your knees?!" She asked while rubbing comforting circles on her son's back.

"My heart hurts, mom" Taehyung sobbed out as he looked up at his mother with a tear strained face,"Whenever I think about all this, everything hurts, my head hurts, my chest hurts, my gut hurts, I feel nauseous and light headed, so-sometimes I can't even breath, help me, mom..!" Taehyung whispered out in terror, desperately grabbing onto his mother as if only she could help him.

"Taehyungie.." Mrs. Kim uttered in sadness as she pulled him closer, trying to reassure him that she wasn't going to leave him.

"I tense up whenever Jimin touches me" Taehyung whispered remousefully, his lips quivering,"I don't like it when he approaches me intimately, my mind tells me that I'm dirty that I'm not worthy of him and my heart tells me that he's not the one whom I like" He thugged on his mother's robe, begging for an answer.

"Tea-Teahyung...do you realize what you're saying...?" Mrs. Kim asked out, stunned to her core.

Taehyung clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth,"I-I know I'm meant to be with Jimin for li-life but I love so-someone else" He uttered out, trying to gulp down the dry lump in his throat,"It's gets harder and harder to remain by Jimin's side with this spiralling guilt inside of me, mom.." Taehyung finally opened his eyes and saw tears streaming down his mother's eyes.

"Mom, can I divorce Jimin?" He finally asked the darkest thought which had been buried deep inside his heart.

Mrs. Kim sniffed as she took in the state of her son and cupped his face gently,"I can see you've been through a lot, baby" She whispered as Taehyung melted inside the comfortable hold,"All this time you have been suffering all alone away from home, probably even doubting your own judgements and feelings, I understand it all, baby" She murmured and pulled Taehyung closer to hug him.

"You've done nothing wrong" Mrs. Kim whispered as she massaged Taehyung's scalp,"Love is something that sneaks past our senses and by the time realization draws upon us, it's already too late, that's why it's not your fault so don't blame yourself" She said as she felt Taehyung inhaling and exhaling deeply, as if glad to be acknowledged as not guilty.

"You can divorce, it's within your legal rights but can I selfishly ask you not to?"

Taehyung felt his blood run cold as he jerked up from the embrace, looking back at his mother's emotional face with wide eyes,"Mom?" He asked, thinking he might have heard wrong, giving his mother time to say that it was just a joke but the conflicted expression on her face provided otherwise.

Mrs. Kim wiped her tears and looked back at her son with teary eyes,"Don't divorce, Jimin, Taehyung, the Park clan is not made out of kind people, they are egotistical and prideful, if you divorce Jimin they might throw our entire family out!" She spoke with increasing fear in her eyes.

"None of us are educated nor we hold any kind of degrees, and your cousins they are home schooled, even the books are old books of the Park clans, if they throw us out, we'll have nowhere to go, I'm not even asking for myself, disregard me but think about your little cousins and your uncles and aunties, this one action of yours will make everybody suffer" Mrs. Kim cried as she spoke the harsh truth to her son.

She took his hands into her own,"That's why I'm requesting you to not divorce, Jimin, forget about that boy and remain loyal to Jimin, you can grow to love him again one day, Jimin is a very kind boy, nothing like his own family, he'll keep you happy and treat you right, Taehyung, this is exactly what happens in arrange marriages, you just learn to love your husband" She said as Taehyung just silently cried while tightly holding her hands.

"Mom..." Taehyung choked out, feeling his heart ache.

"I'm so sorry my baby" Mrs. Kim cried out as she sobbed,"But please, don't turn your face away from us, I know I'm asking for too much but please don't divorce Jimin, leave that boy and focus on your marriage, please" She pleaded as more tears escaped her eyes.

Taehyung gulped down guiltily as he took in the sight of his mother crying. He scooted closer and wiped away some of her tears, trying to smile but he could only smile so much while crying himself.

"I could never turn my back on my family" Taehyung whispered, brushing back a few strands of her hair behind her ear,"You raised me, whatever I am today is because of you, I will never do such a thing which will bring shame and danger upon you guys" He whispered in a determined tone, eyes still wet from crying but they had stopped shedding tears.

Mrs. Kim just cried harder at Taehyung's words,"I'm so sorry my baby, I'm so sorry that I'm this helpless" She cried harder as Taehyung pulled her into an embrace, trying to comfort her.

"No, you're strong, you're the strongest person I know" Taehyung whispered, hugging his mother tighter,"I'll focus back on my marriage, I'll tell Jimin I'm ready to start over and I'll fo-forget about that bo-boy" Taehyung stuttered but he was determined to protect his family and even Jimin's trust.

He hoped his mom's words were true, he hoped he could fall in love with Jimin again.

And above all he hoped Jungkook would understand his situation.

Hey guysss, sorry another filler chapter but it was a very necessary chapter for the story, I thought I could maybe snuck in a few vmin Or taekook moment but the convo turned out so emotional that I thought it was better to just leave it as a separate independent chapter which just dwells on emotions and situations.

Also the book cover will remain as the old cover cuz along with the majority, I also like the old cover better ^_^
