AUTHOR'S POV

The past few weeks had to be Jungkook's happiest moments in his whole life. And that was only because of one person.

Lalisa Manoban to be exact.

Every moment spent with her was splendid for him. He loved to see Lisa all smiley and happy. Being with her, he felt something he had never experienced before.

Something along the lines of Love.

Jungkook had even forgotten the whole existence of his two cousins, Taehyung and Chaeyoung completely. From little meet ups to dates, Jungkook and Lisa was having it all. Lisa even had managed to take Jungkook to a dance studio!

In short, the social butterfly had managed to change an introvert.

Lalisa Manoban effect!

JK'S POV

"Where were you?" Taehyung questioned, the moment I stepped into our apartment. Loosening the tie, I sprawled on the couch.

"In Lisa's apartment" I simply answered. Knowing Tae, he wouldn't stop interrogating me. "What? No way" He exclaimed, walking towards me. "What were you doing there?"

I shrugged before walking to the bathroom to take a shower. "Hey Chaeng, he's here. He was with Lisa in her apartment" I heard Tae speaking on the phone with Chaeng. "Maybe talking, right Kook?" He shouted.

"Hm.." I trailed off, stripping my dress, going into the shower. "That too" I heard some shuffling from the bathroom. A shriek left my mouth when Tae suddenly barged into the bathroom.

"What?" I grumbled, closing the glass door. "What were you guys doing?" He asked, curiosity lacing his voice. "What do you think we were doing?" I asked playfully.

"I don't know" He said. I winked at him in reply before applying shampoo. "What is it?" He asked, opening the door slightly. "It's exactly what you were thinking" I chuckled, before closing the door.

"You guys fucked!?" A loud high pitched voice exclaimed, startling me. Peeking my head through the door, I glanced at Tae who was staring at the phone in his hand and then at me.

Chaeng was listening to this the whole time?

"JEON TAEHYUNG!"

JM'S POV

I threw my phone across the backseat of the taxi, annoyed and frustrated. Chaeyoung was not picking up my call and I've been calling her for the past 20 hours. I was feeling restless not knowing her whereabouts. She saw my last message 20 hours ago, the moment when I boarded the flight to Seoul from New York.

So here I am, back in Seoul, literally leaving all my works in US, only because my wife was not picking up her damn phone!

Tapping my leg, I tried calling her one more time, silently hoping she would pick up. "Sir, are you okay?" The cab driver asked, clearly sensing my anxious behavior. "I'm fine" I smiled apologetically, to which he nodded.

"TAE!!" A familiar high pitched voice caught my attention and I immediately looked outside to see her.

Park Chaeyoung.

She was with a her darn cousin, who was riding a bike, along with some other riders, having a racing. "Make a U turn please" I requested to the driver, clenching my fist hard that my knuckles were turning white. He turned the car around and stopped right in front of them.

"What the fuck man" Taehyung cursed as the driver stopped the car, blocking them. I walked towards Chaeyoung, who was literally shocked at my sudden appearance. Grabbing her hand, I walked back to the taxi before glaring at her cousins.

Bunch of useless fuckers

As the driver started to drove back home, I glanced at Chaeyoung. She was typing a reply text to someone, who was sitting beside me.

Her phone buzzed with an incoming message. Her face lightened up, reading the messages. I glanced at the phone to see her texting with her cousins.

Grabbing the phone from her hand forcefully, I rolled down the car window, before throwing it outside. She glared at me in surprise and anger, but I didn't speak a word.

I was holding my tongue back, not wanting to explode at her in the taxi.

If only you knew

CY'S POV

I walked inside our apartment quietly as Jimin opened the door. My brain was frying with all the thoughts burning in my head.

"Chaeyoung" Jimin called out, as I was walking to our room. "Tell me you wouldn't repeat this" He commanded.

"What?" I asked, clearly confused with his act. He was the one who left for a fucking business trip and now he came back and was lashing at me. If someone had the right to be angry, it should've been me, considering our last meeting. "They're my cousins"

"Your cousins are a bunch of idiots" He snapped. I frowned, shocked at his comment. I clenched my fist as I could feel myself getting angry. "Chaeyoung, people die doing such stupid things. Just understand it"

"The only reason I'm staying here is because of those idiots" I retorted. "I would've probably gone mad if they weren't here"

"I cancelled my business trip midway because you didn't pick up my call!!" Jimin roared and I flinched at his sudden outburst.

"What happened to your texts?" I questioned, as he used to message me rather than calling. It was the usual routine between us.

"So does that mean  I shouldn't know any of your whereabouts?" He scoffed, slightly toning down his voice.

"I'm used to that" I stated, not bothering to hide my annoyance and frustration. "You will come and go as you please and you expect me to do everything correctly"

I stormed to the bedroom immediately. Closing my eyes, a deep sigh left my trembling lips.

Guilt and anger.

My body was filled with those two emotions completely. A lone tear left my eyes, as I finally breathed out. I didn't know how I managed to stop myself from crying or exploding at him.

The sound of door slamming shut made me open my eyes, only to see Jimin entering the guest room. Biting my lips, I stared at the wooden door of the guest room.

As my grandmother used to say, "A good marriage requires time. It requires effort. You have to work at it. You have to cultivate it. You have to forgive and forget. You have to be absolutely loyal one to another"

And we were missing the most important ones in that.

Time and effort
