Taehyung continued to look at the picture he set on his lock screen. It had been 2 days, but the time he spent with Jia and Ji-hu was fresh in his mind. His smile in the picture showed how happy he was then and it only made him smile now.

Jia, on the other hand, sat on the couch, staring at her kid as he played with his toys. If Ji-hu wanted a father, he would get a father. She made up her mind to move on and give Jungkook a chance.

Yoongi wasn't present in Seoul at the moment. He had gone somewhere for his work, and that was all he informed everyone. So Jia texted Jungkook to pick them up. They would leave Ji-hu at the agency, where Jin and Jimin would look after him while the other two had decided to go on a date.

Taehyung strolled back and forth outside Jimin's room, debating whether or not he should tell him the truth. He finally barged in without knocking, like he did all the time.

Jimin was standing near his room's window, looking outside. His back was facing the door. When the door opened, he already knew who the intruder was. "What do you want now?" He asked in a nonchalant manner, not turning around.

"I'm ready to share everything now."

The mere sentence that came out of Taehyung's mouth made Jimin turn 180 degrees. "I want tea. Spill fast." He walked over to the bed and sat down with his legs crossed.

Jimin motioned Taehyung to take a seat on his opposite side of the bed. The latter complied and made his way to the former.

🥀

Jia and Jungkook were sitting in the park. It was still afternoon, so no one could be spotted there. It was Jia's idea to come here and who was Jungkook to disagree? He just wanted to spend time with Jia.

"I'd like to tell you about my past now that I've decided to move on and give you a chance. Are you okay with it?" Jia inquired, without turning her head to the left to face the man.

Jungkook was more than happy to hear that the girl had decided to give him a chance.

"Only if you're comfortable," Jungkook replied, staring at Jia and taking her hand in his. He squeezed her left hand and continued, "Your past doesn't matter to me, Jia. I just want to keep you and Ji-hu happy."

Jia finally looked at Jungkook after hearing his words. His seriousness was evident in his bambi eyes. However, when the past came knocking on her door, she had no choice but to tell the truth herself. She didn't want to put Jungkook's trust in jeopardy.

"My past will bother both of us now and in the future. So it's better if I share everything with you now." Jia muttered, placing her right hand on Jungkook's.

Now, Taehyung and Jia were both ready to confront the past that had been buried deep within their hearts, but with different motives. One wanted to move on, while the other wanted his past to stay.

🥀

"I met Jia four years back when I went to Busan. We met in the Unisex salon. She came there with her mother, scary mother." Taehyung laughed as he remembered the face of Jia's mother.

"I met him four years back in a Unisex Salon in Busan. My mother and I went there." Jia let out a sigh.

"She was my fan. So she approached me to take a picture. But you know what?" Taehyung looked at Jimin, who was shaking his head at the question of his friend. "She was able to recognize me even with the mask." Jimin was shocked.

Jimin remarked, "It seems like she was your die-hard fan."

"She was. We also spent some time together at the salon, taking photos and getting to know each other." Taehyung blushed, remembering the day.

"He was an idol. Well, he still is. But at that time, he wasn't that famous. So he was shocked to see me approach him or more like recognize him even with a mask on his face. I asked for a picture and we kind of got to know each other at that time." Jia smiled bitterly, while Jungkook continued to look at the girl.

"Okay, so after that day, I phoned her for the first time just after the three days." Taehyung continued with his story. He was about to speak when Jimin's question or more like curiosity stopped him, "When did you both exchange the number?"

"On the first day itself. Since I had clicked the pictures on my phone, I asked for her contact details." Taehyung scratched his nape nervously while blushing.

"What a shot, dude!" Jimin smiled and patted the back of his friend. He was proud of his chuddy buddy.

"We exchanged our numbers on the very first day. We didn't talk for the next 3 days. But all of a sudden, I received a call from him on the fourth day. He sounded really weak and it worried me because he wasn't from Busan and I knew that he was alone." Jia sighed at the remembrance. How easily was she fooled!

Jungkook continued to listen to the girl patiently. The changing expressions on Jia's face were clearly noticeable to him.

"I fooled her by sounding weak. I wanted company because I was bored there, staying all by myself." Taehyung spoke but laughed in return when Jimin was smiling like a dumb person. His expressions were too funny.

"Well, on that day, things escalated and we kind of did things we shouldn't have done." Taehyung sighed. He avoided Jimin's gaze and looked around.

"On that day, we did things we shouldn't. Or more like should have used protection at the very least." Jia turned to look at the younger just to check if he looked disappointed or not. On the contrary, he sighed and tightened his grip on Jia's hand.

"I'm sorry for everything you had to go through," Jungkook spoke in return. He hugged her tight, patting her back. Jia's eyes began tearing up. 'What did I do to deserve him?' She thought.

"Didn't you use protection?" Jimin asked, raising his brow. He had known this Taehyung for a long time. And he exactly knew how playboy kind of a person he was. But he never made such mistakes in the past.

"No! I was so lost in her beauty that I forgot. Her simplicity turned me on. You should have seen her on that day. She had just worn a pair of jean shorts with a loose red hoodie. Moreover, she hadn't worn any makeup. She had just tied a messy bun. My heart fluttered, just by looking deep into her eyes," Taehyung responded. "And guess what, I took the girl's virginity. I won't be able to forgive myself for that."

Jimin's expressions changed all of a sudden. The calm look was switched to an annoying one. "You spoilt her life, dude! Just for the sake of enjoyment, you made her go through shit. The girls you used to sleep around in the past were bitches. But the way you mentioned Jia, I can totally imagine how opposite she must have been to those girls."

Taehyung looked down in guilt. Jimin wasn't wrong. Moreover, he didn't love Jia at that time. More like he was infatuated with her, but he didn't fall for her in an instance.

"Jia, what is his name who made you go through so much?" Jungkook asked, still hugging her.

"Kim Taehyung."

The mention of his hyung made him pull out of the hug in shock. He examined her features to see if she was joking. Her serious expressions, on the other hand, stated otherwise. Now everything began making sense to him. Why Yoongi hated Taehyung, why Taehyung was jealous of Jungkook since the day he saw them together in the café, why Taehyung craved to spend time with Ji-hu, and why Ji-hu was attached to Taehyung more than Jungkook himself.
