Chapter 29

~ 3rd Person POV ~

Since Taehyung was still not feeling well, he decided to stay home again today. Ir wasn't much of an issue for him or his husband since the male had no issues with Taehyung staying home. He really likes it

Jungkook was absent this morning, either at work or going to run some errand. Be wanted a laid-back day, going to tidy up a bit before unwinding for the rest of the day. His feet and back were killing him and he had no idea why he was exhausted so much

While cleaning the tables, he heard several knocks at the door and since it was still quite early in the afternoon, he was a little confused on who it could be

"Just a moment!!!" he shouted, placing the items that he was cleaning with down and heading to the door. Once he opened it,he found himself looking at two police officers waiting outside

Taehyung's thoughts raced as he wondered, "Oh no, what did I do?" When the officers approached him, he calmly asked, "Is there a problem, officers?" He asked

"Mr. Jeon/Kim, may we come in, please?" They asked and Taehyung graciously welcomed them inside and gestured towards the couch

"If this is regarding the parking tickets, I've paid them in full-" Taehyung immediately stated but was quickly corrected by one of them

However, the first officer quickly clarified. "No, that's not why we are here. We are actually here to speak with your husband" He said as both of the officers looked at one another before looking at him again

Taehyung was taken back, why were they asking about his husband at this hour

"This is about Jungkook? what do you mean?" Taehyung asked as he wanted to know why these two officers wanted to talk to him about his lover

"Was Jungkook here this morning?" The second officer, both of them looking at him seriously

Taehyung, feeling exhausted when it came to things like this, thought to himself, "Not this again."

"Yes, he was here this morning. He just left almost an hour ago. I've been here cleaning since he had left" Taehyung replied while looking at them both

"Have you noticed any unusual activity from your husband recently?" The first officer questioned

Taehyung thought about it for a moment, but nothing stood out. "I haven't. I've been feeling sick lately, so I haven't been as watching my surroundings when it comes to him like I usually do" He responded and the police officers nodded

"One more thing, does your husband own any firearms?" The second officer asked and Taehyung was taken aback by the question.

"Firearms, like guns?" Taehyung asked nervously

"Yes, guns. You do know those are illegal in Korea, right?" The police confirmed and Taehyung felt a chill run down his spine but kept a clam face

"Of course I do, and he doesn't" Taehyung firmly, knowing that he was lying to these officers

The officers nodded in understanding and began to say, "Well—" just as the door swung open. Jungkook entered the room and casually asked, "Babe, whose car is outside?" His gaze landed on the police and his expression immediately turned cold.

"What are you doing here?" Jungkook demanded rudely, wanting them out of his house

"We are asking your husband some questions. We are done here" The officers stood up and looked at him. Both of them looked like they were immediately on guard when it comes to seeing Jungkook

"I'll walk you guys out" He said quickly as the officers nodded their head and followed him to the door

"Take my card" The officer said and Taehyung took it hesitantly, feeling the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. As he closed the door behind him, he shot a quick glance back at Jungkook, only to find him standing right in front of him with crossed arms

His expression a mix of concern and curiosity

"What all did you tell him, Taehyung?" Jungkook asked, a hint of tension in his voice. Taehyung sighed, feeling a familiar pang of guilt welling up inside him. He would lie for his husband every chance he got but that doesn't mean he likes doing it

"I lied again, like I always do. Are you happy?" He mumbled, trying to brush past Jungkook and head into the kitchen, but Jungkook blocked his path

Frustration laced Taehyung's voice as he continued, "Nothing, but since you want to know so bad, they asked if you were here this morning. Where were you?" Taehyung asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot onto the ground

"I was out doing business." Jungkook responses simply and going to make himself a cup of coffee

"Okay, if you were out doing business, then why can't you tell me? We promised no more secrets" Taehyung said, disappointed that his husband was lying

"Can we just take a nap or something?" Jungkook said as he let out a tired sigh and rolled his eyes. He reached out to grab Taehyung's hand, but the upset male pushed him away, the unresolved tension in the air between them

Jungkook's expression softened as he realized the gravity of the situation. "Come on, baby, I know you weren't upset. Let's make up and you forgive me, okay?" He pleaded. Taehyung, for the first time, stood his ground. His husband kept lying to him

"No. I can't keep doing this" He firmly replied

"What did you just say?" Jungkook asked

"I said no. I won't forgive you" Taehyung took a deep breath and crossed his arms

"Jungkook, I can't be stressed like this all the time. It's not good for me right now" He mumbled

"So you want to divorce me?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung rolled his eyes, not even knowing how Jungkook could even get to that mindset

"Jungkook, who said anything about that?"

"Answer my question. Would you leave me?" The raven asked, walking towards Taehyung until he had the younger small pressed against the wall. A certain look in his eyes as he looked at his husband

"No, I will never leave you. I don't care what you did or how you did it. Why would you lie to me?" Taehyung asked as he looked him in the eyes. He knew without a doubt that he could never leave him

"Give me it" Jungkook asked as the tension hung heavy in the air

"Give you what?" Taehyung asked confusingly

"The police card. Give it to me" Jungkook replied firmly, wanting Taehyung to give him the card

Reluctantly, Taehyung handed it over, watching as Jungkook ripped it up and walked away, leaving Taehyung standing there, his heart heavy with pain that his husband kept being dishonest
