It makes me super glad to still see my old (i mean loyal) readers still supporting my works. And to the new ones and the silent ones, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU.

Jin had no more energy to protest. He had so much that day. He could not even comprehend how all those things happened in a short span.

After taking a shower, Jin could not believe he is now inside the bedroom of someone else's home. But he was too exhausted to object. His emotions drained his strength. All he wanted was to lie down and sleep.

"It will be okay," Jimin whispered with a small smile as he sat down beside his best friend.

Jin, with his hooded eyes, nodded, "I don't know why I ended up here. It's so embarrassing. I do feel it's me who kicked him out of his home. I could have just stayed with you."

Jimin giggled. "You heard him right? No one lives here. He is saying the truth. He uses this apartment from time to time. Whenever he's tired or needs to travel. Or whenever he drinks with his acquaintance. Yoongi confirmed it. But most of the time, he's at his mansion."

"But I remembered you said it's an hour's drive from here."

"He has a car. Around an hour's travel isn't that far if it's your everyday routine to drive back and forth. Don't worry too much. As Jungkook said, he will pay a visit once a week since some of his things are here. And he also has an office here. At least, this place is better than goshiwon. And when you're already settled, Namjoon has no more reason not to give Sunghoon to you. And again, you should look at the brighter side. If Jungkook sleeps here, you and he are alone."

Jin pouted, he had no more strength to even whine about it. And it made Jimin laugh.

"Please, Jin. Let's not dwell on things we cannot control as of now. There is no reason to be so frustrated. Let's not waste our energy. I don't want to see you shaking and fainting like that again. Let us rest for a while then let's rethink and plan for the next steps. Let's take it slowly but surely. And do not contact Hoseok instead of me. Please!"

Jin rested his head on Jimin's shoulder and clung to his arm. "What if Namjoon learned about this? What if he used this against me and make up stories that I am living in with my boss? What if--"

"Jin, you and Namjoon are divorced. You can do whatever you want the way he can do his. Remember, he even deceived you just to finalize the divorce. The way he's playing, will all be unfair to you. Do you know why? Because what he knows is you are not capable of going against him.

Namjoon is a fraud. I am betting my internal organs, he won't give you that wedding money just like the way he fooled you about your son. Let's be real. Let's stop going around the bush and let's face the painful truth. I know what you mean and we will fight that. Stop being always shy and don't be ashamed to ask for help. If he can use lies against you, we can use the truth against him. Let's not worry about that for now. I'll assure you, you'll get through this."

"He's asleep. He's so exhausted." Jimin said as he sat down on one of the chairs around the island counter.

"Did he eat already?" Jungkook asked while giving Jimin a can of beer.

Jimin shook his head. "I'll order some before going home. So he can reheat them for later. He's hungry but he said he wanted to sleep. He's insisting to come with me but I told him to just rest."

"I will order. How about you guys, do you want to eat anything?" Jungkook took his phone and began ordering food.

Yoongi and Jimin looked at each other. Jimin had been restraining himself to ask for help on behalf of Jin but after what had transpired earlier, he knew he had to do something. "Jungkook, can I ask for a favor?"
