Just For A Few Days (Namkook)

Chapter 30: "She is a monster! A witch! A criminal!"

I feel super energetic when stories reach the climax point 😛

With a slight twist of neck, Jimin searched for his boyfriend in the courtroom. Taehyung was sitting with clenched jaws and gritted teeth. His staggered eyes were fixed on the couple entering inside with their hands joined and the sly smile on Sa-ra's face sent out the declaration of hitting a jackpot.

Taehyung slid on the bench to provide enough space for the duo who approached to sit beside him. Namjoon's face was blank as the examination paper Taehyung once left as a result of not studying in second grade while Sa-ra kept smiling and leaning her head on the other's shoulder at random times. As she looked at a glaring Taehyung, her sweet gestures increased saying, "Tae! How are you my little brother?"

"I'm not your brother!" He disregarded the address harshly without caring about anything but how the woman treated Namjoon.
"She's my wife, Tae. I would appreciate it if you talk to her respectfully." Namjoon's words befuddled his assistant more now. The expression was unchanged but the words were that of a caring husband. The furious face of Taehyung changed into a shocked one at the realisation of Namjoon being manipulated by the woman.

There was no sign of love or affection in the elder's face yet his words were showing the same for his ex-wife. Witnessing the blooming romance between Jungkook and Namjoon, Taehyung was certain of a nasty plan behind his hyung's sudden change of behaviour.

As the judge ordered to proceed, Jimin's hawk eyes caught a smirk on Sa-ra's side of attorney, Kang Jae-hwon who was also the rumoured boyfriend of hers. His smirk was towards the cheating ex-wife of the billionaire as Jimin inspected.

According to mutual consent, the reconciliation was appealed and Jimin being helpless in this condition had to support his client sparing any of his personal opinion. His mind kept drifting to the crying face of Jungkook whom he found extremely adorable and brotherly connection with.

As per the jurisdiction invested by the state on the judge, six months of stay was ordered to the couple undergoing divorce. Sa-ra and Jae-hwon's faces lit up like fireworks of celebration while Jimin and Taehyung stole glances of each other being utterly disappointed with whatever just happened right in front of them. Namjoon's blank face was clearly perceivable to Taehyung now as his foremost relationship with the elder was that of a brother more than an assistant.

"I know she's behind this, hyung. Don't worry, you are not alone." Taehyung whispered bringing his face closer to the elder's right when Sa-ra walked out to answer a phone call. Namjoon's blank face suddenly flushed with a deep sigh that he projected through his eyes that are usually quite frightening but now it's just like that of a child being in trouble.

"Tae! I don't want to live with her. She's a wit-"
"What's my hubby talking?"

The intolerable voice returned acting extra clingy to Namjoon. She placed her arm around his shoulder as a reminder of her authority on him making Taehyung fist his hand out of anger.

"Nothing, I need to go for work." Namjoon tried to remove her arm but she pulled him closer and saying, "Don't get impatient, baby. I will be back home with my luggage tomorrow morning. Bye Tae!"

Namjoon almost ran out of the courtroom followed by an aggrieved Taehyung and an irked Jimin. He didn't look back until he reached his parked car. Placing one hand on his chest and the other on the car door, Namjoon started huffing in exhaustion.

"Hyung!" Taehyung rubbed his back knowing the elder was slipping to the edge. This was noticed in him in teenage whenever Taehyung would wake up at middle of the night to find his hyung crying and panting at the memory of his late father. Jae-rin took him to therapies to stop this from happening again and the same thing reoccured few times after Sa-ra's extra marital affairs were found out. This time, it was Jungkook's entry in his life that saved him from that.
