Chapter 7

The computer was not password protected, and it started up in no time.

It was so quick that Tae's heart skipped a couple of beats.

He took a deep breath, plugged in the USB drive, then logged into his email.

Once he was logged in, he quickly sent the file to his classmate.

It was strange how smoothly everything went.

He managed to successfully send off the file before noon.

Tae did not dare linger another moment in the study. While he was about to shut down the computer, his hand trembled and he accidentally opened up a file.

The file suddenly popped up on the screen, and he stared curiously at the contents with wide eyes.

Tae emerged from the study five minutes later.

Mrs. Min let out a sigh of relief and said, "See? Didn't I tell you that Master Jungkook wouldn't be back anytime soon?"

Tae was a mess of emotions. It felt like he had discovered Jungkook's dark secret.

He should not have used his computer in the first place.

"Are there surveillance cameras in the study, Mrs. Min?" Tae asked.

"There's one outside the study," replied Mrs. Min.

Tae's face turned pale.

"Then he's sure to find out that I was in his study."

"Just tell him about it yourself when he gets back later. You took less than ten minutes. I don't think he'll be mad," consoled Mrs. Min.

Tae's phone beeped, and he pulled it out to see a notification for a wire transfer.

His classmate banked in three hundred and twenty dollars to his account.

He did not expect the pay to be that high. It only took him two hours, and he already made three hundred and twenty dollars!

The money instantly calmed the anxiety.

He did not want to use Jungkook's computer, and he did not mean to see what he saw on it.

He should explain everything to him when he got home and prayed that he would not be angry.

He already agreed to the divorce, anyway. Once that was over, their paths would never cross again.

Whatever secrets he had would have nothing to do with him.

Tae returned to his room after lunch and shut the door.

He sat in front of his vanity, glanced down at his flat belly, and whispered softly, "I don't want to get rid of you either, little one, but your life will be much more difficult than mine is right now if I keep you..."

Perhaps it was due to the drowsiness that came with the pregnancy, before long he had fallen asleep at the table.

Frantic footsteps outside the room jolted Tae up from his sleep that afternoon.

Before he could pull himself together, the room door burst open.

"Sir," Mrs. Min said with a fearful expression on her face, "Did you touch something on Master Jungkook's computer?"

Tae's heart was in his mouth.

"Is... Is he home? Did he find out?"

Mrs. Min was a nervous wreck as she said, "Didn't you say you were just sending a file? Master Jungkook said you touched something else. He's throwing a fit in the study right now! I really don't know how I can get you out of this, Sir!"
