Trusting (KTH)

Chapter 9

Taehyung woke up to the sound of a woman crying in the living room. But it wasn't Clara, she was still snuggled up tight against him. He quickly slid out of bed to see what was going on, stopping by the boy's crib on the way to make sure they were still in dreamland.

"Hey" Taehyung whisper shouted as he entered the room with Sooyun and Yoonseo from security. "Clara and the boys are still sleeping, we need to keep it down please."

There was a knock on the door and Yoonseo opened it to let in two managers.

"What's going on? Is something wrong?" Taehyung was surprised to see so many people in his suite, let alone this early in the morning.

"Taehyung-ah, why don't you sit down for a minute ok? We need to talk."

"About what? What's going on?"

One of the managers sighed as he looked at Taehyung. "Apparently Sooyun had an instagram account that she never mentioned. And she posted pictures of the twins on it."

"What?" Taehyung jumped up, roaring in anger. He glared at Sooyun, "You posted pictures of the boys online? What were you thinking?"

Sooyun burst into a fresh round of tears. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to share some pictures with my friends and our boys are so gorgeous."

"You mean Clara and my boys," Taehyung gritted out.

"What?" Sooyun sniffled.

"Clara and my boys. They are not your boys or our boys, they are just Clara and my boys." Then after a moment's pause Taehyung's eyes grew wide. "Please tell me that is all. Please tell me HYBE found it and took it down already."

A manager slowly shook his head. "Unfortunately Sooyun tagged the photo locations and she wasn't so subtle about the fact that their father was famous. Tracking the locations it didn't take long to figure out that she was traveling with BTS. We found out when it suddenly went viral online.

"Oh my god, oh my god, this cannot be happening." Taehyung violently rubbed his hair as he held his head in his hands. "Tell me this is a bad joke, I'm begging you. I really cannot handle this right now."

"I'm sorry Taehyung-ah, but it's no joke. The instagram account has been taken down but obviously the pictures have gone everywhere by now. You know if we fight too hard it will just confirm that it is true so we're hoping right now that it just dies down." The manager looked almost sick as he spoke.

"What about...I mean are there pictures of Clara too? This is the last thing she needs right now."

"No," the manager assured him. "At least not that we could find. The way the posts were written everyone seems to believe Sooyun is the twins mother and her photo is circulating pretty heavily. But you and Clara are not in any of the pictures. There is a lot of speculation on who the father is but it doesn't seem like there is much consensus. So at least that is good news."

"I just...I don't know what to say. Do the members know?"

"Namjoon knows and will be here in a few minutes...". The manager cut off when he saw the bedroom door creaking open and Clara coming out with one of the twins, obviously barely awake.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I didn't know there were others here. I apologize for disrupting you." Clara was bowing while trying to hold the baby close.

In the meantime Taehyung jumped up and rushed to his wife. "Sweetheart, why don't you go back and lay down and rest for a bit, ok?"

"Oh, ok, sure. Sooyun do you want to come with so you can take one of the boys?" Clara motioned to Sooyun to follow her, totally unaware of the situation, so Taehyung quickly jumped in.
