Taehyung didn't face Jungkook when he responded. Instead, he quietly got up after saying that and started to walk off to wash up. Jungkook felt guilty for hurting Taehyung, so he immediately moved after him and pulled Taehyung into his embrace from behind.

"I'm sorry, Taehyung."

/Did I miss something?/

Taehyung blinked in confusion as he waited for Jungkook to say something else so that Taehyung could make some sense of it. Jungkook, however, stayed quiet as he searched for the right words to make Taehyung feel better.

"I_I can't just leave her, Taehyung. She's my responsibility and no matter how much I hate it I have to stay with her." Taehyung quietly listened to what Jungkook said and tried his best to keep the small voice in his head at bay.

"I know." Taehyung removed Jungkook's hands from his torso gently and walked in the bathroom.

/What in the hell was that?/

He quickly turned on the shower and let the water wash away awkward feelings rising up in his gut. He was sure up until now that he just wanted Jungkook for his sexual desires and nothing else but he couldn't understand why would the mention of Jungkook's wife make his heart drop down to his feet. If anything, he should be happy that he could look down on her since her husband chose him over her. But instead, Taehyung felt like he just won one battle while she won the war.

/What am I missing here? There's something I'm not doing right. But what?/

Taehyung sighed as he picked up the soap and started washing himself.

/Should I make him get caught by her? I mean the look on both their faces would be priceless./

Taehyung considered that as the perfect plan and decided to stay with Jungkook until his wife returns.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was trying to come up with a way to make Taehyung his but his biggest hurdle was his wife which he couldn't understand how he would get away from. If he asked for divorce that would be too cruel and if he just left her that would be really pathetic as well. But he couldn't keep Taehyung by his side as long as his wife was there because Taehyung had clearly told him that he didn't want to be 'like a mistress' to him.

Jungkook raked his hands through his hair and mumbled.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

Taehyung came out and saw Jungkook leaning back on his arms on the bed with his eyes closed, apparently deep in thoughts. He immediately grabbed his phone and snapped a picture of him sitting there naked, silently.

/Material for blackmail./

"You can go in, now." Jungkook got up as he nodded and went in.

When the door closed behind him, Taehyung dressed up in loose clothes. His eyes caught the glimpse of Jungkook's phone and after a quick peek at the bathroom he grabbed it. Jungkook didn't put a lock making it simpler for Taehyung.

Taehyung checked his gallery first and paused immediately. There were pictures of Taehyung. He scrolled down to see others of his wife and others but there were only Taehyung's pictures.

/That's me./

Taehyung felt a lump forming in his throat as a small chuckle escaped his lips but immediately shook his head to get rid of the weird feeling.

He opened his texts and saw a thread of someone named Baby💕. He felt a little twist in his gut as he realized it would be his wife's number and touched it to see the texts. His eyes watered immediately as he saw the conversion and threw the phone away.

/Why am I that baby?/

When Taehyung heard Jungkook unlocking the door, he quickly wiped his eyes and put the towel on his head to hide his face.

Jungkook came out to see Taehyung drying his hair and an automatic smile appeared on his face.

"Cute."

Taehyung whipped around at Jungkook's voice and saw him smiling lovingly at him which made him want to cry.

/No. He's a toy./

Jungkook's smile dropped when he saw the pained expression on Taehyung's face. Taehyung smiled back awkwardly and pulled the towel further in front of him as he resumed to dry his hair.

The awkward silence between them that lasted for about a few minutes got disturbed when Jungkook's phone rang. He picked his pants as he moves towards the bed and grabbed his phone. It was his wife.

"I have to go." Jungkook mumbled apologetically as he quickly put on his pants and grabbed the shirt before moving out to attend the call.

Taehyung quietly saw it all happen and once Jungkook left, he took in a deep breath. But he couldn't even exhale before his eyes teared up and this time he couldn't stop the tears as they dropped out like a waterfall.

"He's a toy. Just a toy."

/Or maybe you're his toy now?/

The thought made him cry even more and Taehyung dropped on the bed as he kicked and punched the mattress as he recalled everything he had done with Jungkook making him hit the mattress more.

"Fine. I love him! I love Jungkook more than myself! But what's the point, huh? What's the bloody po..int when-" Taehyung yelled to no one as he sat up and let the tears fall.

"What's the point when he can't be mine?" Taehyung mumbled to himself as his sobs turned silent slowly.

After crying for a little longer Taehyung got up and packed his bag. He wasn't going to stay here any longer. He couldn't.

Taehyung washed his face after getting everything packed and went down to the reception. He returned the card and left. Just like that.

/You better not come in front of me again, Jungkook. I swear I'll snatch you from that witch in a very brutal way if you did because I actually love you, now./

"Taxi!" Taehyung threw his bag in the cab before sitting in and went back to Seoul.
