Chapter 11

"Your husband slapped me!

The words echoed in the space you were standing in. Namjoon almost barked the words out of his mouth looking straight into Taehyung's eyes, confident. You gasped at that, What is he talking about? Why would Taehyung slap him? Did they have a fight?

Taehyung didn't personally know Namjoon to get into a fight with him. He is neither that violent of a person to casually hit someone. Then what is Namjoon talking about?

You looked at your husband. He looked as shocked as you were yourself. "What? Why would I? I didn't. YN, I swear I didn't h.." Before Taehyung could finish his words, Namjoon started to speak again, cutting him mid-sentence.

"So you mean I'm lying? YN, he did hit me" Namjoon stated. You looked between the two men. Namjoon was drunk but he wasn't a liar but trusted Taehyung. He couldn't do something like that.

"You're drunk Namjoon. You don't know what you're saying" you tried to explain. Namjoon rolled his eyes at your statement. Everyone around has come to a halt to witness the commotion.

"You don't trust me YN" Namjoon said, sounding disappointed. His voice was trembling, courtesy of being drunk out of his mind he didn't know what he was saying. The predicament this situation had put you in was getting to your head and you wanted to clear the chaos before more guests arrived.

"Come on. You should go home it's late now" you tried to take Namjoon's hand to get him out of there. You weren't in the mood to entertain any more drama.

"Whyyy?" *hiccup* "I don't want to go homee~" he struggled to set free of your grasp but you had the upper hand because of his drunken state.

"I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Have a good night everyone" you dragged your drunk friend out of the room and to the side door. You didn't spare a glance at your husband. Handling Namjoon was your priority at the moment and Taehyung stood there, completely dumbstruck.

Did you believe Namjoon over him? After everything you and him went through over the past months, do you really not trust him enough to believe him? Is he back to zero after trying so hard??

There were a dozen questions brewing in his head. His body was fine but he felt exhausted. There was a weird kind of fear he was feeling while watching you disappear with Namjoon. You chose Namjoon. Maybe you trust your best friend more than you trust your husband.

Because no matter how much he tried, or how much he put effort in mending what he broke in the start, there will always be a crack in his relationship with you. There will always be an ounce of doubt that's going to ruin his chances with you and as much as he wanted to try, he just couldn't do anything. No matter how much he forced his feet to follow after you, his strength gave up.

Sighing, he looked around and smiled at the guests murmuring around about the scene. He knew they were talking about him. About his failure as a husband but he couldn't care enough.

He walked past his mother who was busy talking to one of her neighbors. Nothing mattered to him at that moment. He walked straight to his room passing by yours but didn't stop in front of your door like he usually does.

Will you come to my room after the party? I have to tell you something.

Taehyung remembered his words from before. He asked you to his room because he had something very important to tell you. For the past few weeks, he's been fighting with his own heart, his feelings that have changed towards you.

He loosened his tie and removed his cufflinks. How could he be so stupid to ever think you'd see him above Namjoon. The perfect man. He has everything a girl wants. Every quality a girl desires. It wouldn't surprise him if his charms were to woo you as well. But at the same time, he believed his efforts must have melted your heart a little to consider listening to his side of the story.
