People love sensational stories.
'DNA test proves that Mayor Kim's son is not his biological child!'
'Will the Mayor continue his term after this scandal?'
'Why did Mrs. Kim cheat on the Mayor? Will there be a custody battle?'
Also...how did I not realize that Tae's wife's name is CRISPY KIM???? What kind of absurdity is this?
I swore Joona must be a fly on the Kim residence's wall because she updated my family of every. little. thing. that happened in the days that followed those nasty headlines. The reporters and bloggers swarmed the property hoping to catch a glimpse of the Mayor. Tae's parents were naturally at their wit's end trying to control the chaos. Taehyung apparently stayed in his room most of the time and would only let J-Hope in.
And Joona wouldn't be Joona if she didn't leave some snarky remark. "Well, maybe the missus found out about Tae's shenanigans. Ohhh wait, what if she knows about you, Jungkookie???" At this point, I was convinced, Joona's main purpose in life was to torture me.
Yoongi called pretending to ask about our next shipment but I knew he wanted to hear my thoughts on this recent event. I never told him about that stormy night even though he would never judge me. I honestly didn't know what to think. Yoongi asked if I felt vindicated...but I felt quite the opposite.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. I didn't 'lose' Tae just so he can be miserable.
The townspeople showed their genuine concern and support and pretty much disowned Crispy. She was never one of them anyway. Speaking of which....Crispy left the country with her son and this broke my heart. Ironic isn't it? Knowing how Tae loved children, this must have been the hardest part of this ordeal.
Over the years, as I cried myself to sleep, I would console myself with the thought that this woman could give Tae what I am not capable of. And I thought she did.
We all thought this fucking woman gave Tae a child.
