Flashback

Jungkook's Pov:


Just when I thought I was shedding unwarranted burdens, another one appeared. How could a physician be so careless? Does he realize what this will do to my reputation?

It was in my best interest to have an heir, but not just any John Doe was fit to have my child. I had already contacted my attorney through email and demanded that he initiate an investigation into Kim Seokjin. I am uncertain of his intentions regarding the pregnancy, but I need him to understand he cannot use pregnancy to gain anything from me.

The doctor clearly thought I was a fool; I know this was only an attempt to acquire something from me. Regardless of who they were, everyone was constantly seeking to gain something. Even the guy I formerly referred to as my husband had been a difficult person to trust.

As I drove towards the location I was given, the destination was surprising, as I was acquainted with the area, which was home to some wealthy individuals and politicians. Min-hyuk wanted this to be one of the areas we lived in after getting married, but he ultimately chose a different location. I should have questioned his decision, as I would have known that he had chosen that location to be with his ex-lover.

While I was turning into the neighborhood, my phone rang, and I answered it as quickly as I could, fully anticipating that it was Taehyung, my main attorney calling. To my disappointment, it was the doctor.

"Why are you calling me?"

"Mr. Jeon, please. I am so sorry to have bothered you with this phone call. The fact that I gave you that address was wrong on my part. Could you kindly come back to my office so that we can talk about this? I am aware that I have done something wrong, and I am prepared to make amends for my actions."

"Are you attempting to assert that you had no intention of obtaining money from me with this man?" The audacity of this doctor! I would not be surprised if this was a plan of Min-hyuk's to accuse me of dishonesty in our marriage. I trust no one.

"I am a man of honor, Mr. Jeon, and I would never do anything dishonorable like that. I was completely wrong, and Mr. Kim Seokjin had nothing to do with it in any way, shape, or form. He knew nothing of this until today, and he is devastated by the news. After being intimidated by you, I felt compelled to provide his address to you. I am sickened by my behavior and aware that I have only contributed to the worsening of the issue."

I came to a screeching stop in the middle of the road and said, "I will determine if he is innocent. Your words have no value to me."

"Mr. Jeon-"

I instantly hung up the phone since I could not continue the discussion without my attorney present.

I kept driving to this man's residence, unconcerned by the doctor's words; I wanted to confirm for myself that he was unaware of this until today. I also wanted him to understand that if he chose to retain the kid, I would be unable to provide much assistance. I would rather pay a surrogate than have a stranger carry my future heir.

"Hello, can I help you?"

This could not possibly be the guy who was pregnant with my kid. I examined him from head to toe, taking every inch of his features. I was confident I had met him previously. Four years ago, at Gangnam's fund-raising event, he was there with his spouse. The memory reappeared as I looked at him repeatedly; it was impossible not to remember him.

I remember that he drew a great deal of attention, but his husband, the late Min Yoongi, maintained a close grip on him throughout the night.

"Can I help you?" He questioned again, peering at me with an annoyed expression.
