Jungkook's POV-

It's been a week but nothing is back to normal. I can't leave my home without having someone get on my face and ask me things I don't know how to answer. It's like they are waiting to corner me. As a solution, my company suggested press conference for both me and Tae, which would be the first one after our marriage. I don't know what to expect but I know it would be fine because I have my baby with me.

"Hyung, you alright?" I didn't notice I was staring at Tae who was getting ready for the interview, we got escorted to the company, successfully avoiding any outsider and now were being prepared for the interview which was an open one, just like the one we had after our relationship reveal.

"Yeah. All fine, just a lil nervous. I don't know what to ans-"

"I am here for you. If you can't answer, drop it for me. I will do it for you." I sighed in relief as he tiptoed and placed his lips on mine, giving a short kiss of assurance. He was wearing red silk shirt while I was in blue, it was his idea and I can't say no to him. That's a lie, but I can't say no when he asks me so sweetly.

"Guys, lets go. It's live, so be careful." I knew it was going to be live and it didn't calm my nerves at all. My hands gripped Taehyung's who tightened his hold, giving me a affirmative smile before walking out with me. 

The stage was prepared high enough to avoid any conflict since we never know when things get violent. We both settled with no space between us, I had my hands on Taehyung's thigh out of habit with all these years while we faced the reporters in front of us. There were many and were practically radiating to ask us question they have been noting down for a week.

"One question at a time or none." As always Yoongi hyung said the same thing, this time Namjoon, Taehyung's manager was also standing beside him in a firm stance, jaw clenched as his eyes roamed on the crowd in front of us.

"We are going live in"

"3"

"2"

"All ready? 1!"

"Jungkook-ssi, my first question for you is, are you alright now?" My heart warmed up, her question calmed my nervous as I picked up my mic before giving her a small smile, that I could hardly muster at the moment.

"I am. I have my people who are with me for every stage, love me. I have my husband who's always with me, making sure I am alright." I felt Taehyung's eyes on me as I turned to him and I was right. He was looking at me with soft gaze yet a bit shaded pink cheeks. He blushed with his whole face and that's something really adorable because it can't be hidden or covered. You don't apply blush on your nose.

"Mr. Jeon! You said your parents didn't approve of your marriage, what's their say on this?" Our parents did approve later, but they don't know that. 

"How would a parent feel knowing their child was suffering behind their back while they had no idea?" Guilt. That's what they were feeling. Though I did talk with them via call and tried to make them believe it wasn't their fault and let the bygones be bygones. They were the best parents I could ask for, skip some moments.

"Mr. Jeon. Why didn't you press charges against Bora Lee back then?" My breathing fasten as I fumbled a bit with the mic before speaking. 

"I was a kid, from middle-class. I was no rich to face the consequences with money or fame, nor was I too poor to have nothing to lose. I was a middle-class boy with a normal life, normal parents, living in a society where such things can lead you to becoming an outcast. I already lost too much in her hands, I didn't want my parents to go through the same. I was 16, and my thoughts were jumbled between being carefree and responsible. Dropping a case to fight for my parents felt like a burden and I was ashamed of myself. Scared. I didn't want anyone to look at me differently so I kept it to myself. See where it ended, being broadcast live to the nation."
