Jeongguk and Taehyung were in the car, off to their destination. The brunette was extremely silent as if he was in deep thought. And indeed he was in thoughts of, 'What could be in that room, that Taehyung became so angry? Does he have some secrets? Maybe, even Joonie Hyung said that he has some unknown past? But why would he hide it from me? Am I not that trustworthy?'

The ravenette noticed Jeongguk and frowned when he saw the latter was in deep thought. "Bun, are you okay? You seem off today," he asked, being concerned, and put his hand on the younger's thigh, making him come out of his thoughts. Jeongguk looked at him and said that he was fine. Taehyung sighed before speaking, "Babe, you are still thinking about the morning events, right?"

They were in traffic, so Taehyung turned to the younger and softly held his both hands. "I am so sorry for my reckless behavior. I am regretting a lot for that. Please, forgive me." The CEO apologized for the nth time and held his both ears.

"Gguk, may I know what is in that room that made you so angry? Am I not worthy enough to know that?" The brunette asked with sad eyes.

"No, no, no! It's not like that. You are more than loyal and worthy, baby. It's just that I am quite sensitive about it. But trust me, when the right time comes, I will tell you everything. Till then please, have trust in me. Please..." Taehyung requested and the younger felt bad thus he assured him that he would always be there for the ravenette.

With that, they continued their journey. With the hopes of making Jeongguk happy, Taehyung could not predict the unfortunate events that were about to change their lives drastically.

Jeongguk guided the ravenette to the park. As Taehyung saw the familiar park, an unknown feeling of fear started to kick into his system. 'Does Gguk know about...? No, no, it can't be possible. She would have told me if that's the case. Besides, she is not here, anyways.' He thought and took a deep breath before getting out of the car. Little did he know that whatever he was thinking was actually right.

Jeongguk advanced towards the park, searching for a familiar face. On the other hand, Taehyung was getting restless with every passing moment. He just wanted to confirm his doubts and then be at peace.

Soon, Jeongguk spotted the person he was looking for, sitting in their usual place and having ice cream; he called out to the person, "Junghee!" As the brunette uttered the name, Taehyung felt the ground under him disappear, he could not think anything straight anymore.

The said kid turned around and smiled. She ran towards Jeongguk, to which he knelt and opened his arms for the girl. But to his surprise, Junghee did not come to him, rather she ran to Taehyung and hugged him.

Jeongguk was shocked as to why Junghee did that or how the little girl knew him. But the next word that left the little girl's mouth, made Jeongguk shocked to the core- "Dada! Why arl you bwith Ggukie?"

As Jeongguk heard that, he was beyond furious, he could not formulate what to say, thus he yelled out, "WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY DADA!?" Hearing the loud voice, Junghee flinched badly in Taehyung's hold, which made the father angry. No one, I repeat no one was allowed to make his baby girl scared or sad.

Taehyung was about to say something when Jeongguk again yelled, "YOU ARE MARRIED AND YOU HAVE A KID TOO?!" Taehyung was at a loss for words. He did not know what to say anymore, the ravenette never wanted to get exposed like that.

"Your silence is saying that it's true. Now it makes everything clear: why you rejected me, why you always avoided talking about your family. All these make me doubt, do you really love me or just- -"
