A Blessing In Disguise

Scapegoat

Suga resumed work after taking a one-week wedding break. Even though he was mentally unprepared because of the chaos that's taking place in his life, but he still wanted to go back. He thought it could distract from all the pain he's going through, however life is too cruel to let a person peacefully without any trouble. Amis all that chaos, there was one question lingering inside Suga's head to which he needed a clear answer. Curiosity killed him and only his father had the answer so he decided to head to his father's office and talk to him before going to work.

"hyung! Can you take me to my father's office?" he asked his manager.

"Sure, we still have some time before your schedule"

As soon as they reached the place, Suga strode to where he expected to find his father, his office. He knew he could hear unpleasant answers and truths, but how bad could it be? he was his son after all, he can't hurt him.

"abeoji!" Suga called his father as he entered the office.

"Ah, Yoongi-ah !" Mr. Min said "is everything alright?"

"Well 'alright' is an understatement seeing the current circumstances, however, I have a question that's driving me up the wall and I want only the truth" Suga said with piercing eyes "I still don't see how my marriage to Chaeyoung is helpful in your case so I'd appreciate it if you elaborate that. My life is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma and I'm the last one to know, so please tell me"

"Yoongi-ah, I can't let that woman destroy everything I worked so hard for. I have---"

"That doesn't answer my question. How would my marriage to Chaeyoung be helpful?"

Mr. Min didn't have the answer, or he rather had it but it was too hurtful to face his son with it so he decided to keep it under wraps. But Yoongi isn't a child, he knows exactly the meaning of every move and he's well aware that silence gives consent but he still wanted to hear from his father.

"If ever Chaeyoung manages to prove her innocence and expose that you did her wrong, what's going to happen then?" Suga asked "am I going to take the fall instead of you?"

"Why are you being so worried about it? I told you that everything is going to be alright?"

"what if it won't? Will I be convicted?"

Mr. Min lowered his head not because he was ashamed of himself but because he hid a very evil smirk. A smirk that was an affirmation of Suga's words. He looked up at his son who waited for the answer with pleading eyes.

"How about you make that woman of yours fall for you" Mr. Min stood up from his chair "she won't be able to sue you that way"

"Sue me?" Suga chuckled bitterly "you finally answered my question. I'll be the one taking the fall"

With a heavy heart Suga left the office and went to the car where his manager was waiting. He didn't have any energy left. He was betrayed and felt alone. Most importantly, he felt how Chaeyoung when she was deprived of her company.

"Hyung! take me back home" Suga said to his manager "I don't think I could go to that schedule"

The manager understood Suga's concern and drove him home then called Bighit to tell them that Suga needed a longer break to fight for himself.

Dowan allowed Hajoon to stay in his villa to keep himself safe from Mr. Min. He faked his death so that the latter wouldn't come after him and got himself a new phone number which he gave only to his parents. He was using his computer when his phone started ringing indicating that his father is calling.

"Ah ! Abeoji !"

"Hajoon-ah ! Mr. Min's son came to ask about you earlier. Apparently he didn't know that you faked your death"

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him thay you were involved in a car accident and passed away" the father explained.

"Okay, I'll call him" Hajoon said.

"Are you sure you can trust him" the father worried.

"Don't worry, I know him well. He's a good guy"

"okay be careful" the father said "stay safe okay"

"alright"

Hajoon had worked for Mr. Min for a long time and he knows every single detail about him, so he knows that Suga is just another victim of Mr. Min. He ended the call and grabbed his car keys then drove to Suga's house. Once there, he pressed the doorbell to be welcomed by a surprised Suga.

"Surprised, huh?" Hajoon said with a smile.
