When His Eyes Opened- TK

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Jenna stood looking into the room from the opened door.

Tae was curled up in a ball with his arms around his knees as he leaned against the wall.

His hair was down, and it was a mess.

He looked up in a daze when he heard the commotion at the door.

"Taehyung! What happened to you?" Jenna exclaimed. When she saw Tae's face, which was white as a sheet of paper, her blood pressure instantly shot up.

"How did you become like this? Was it... Was it Jungkook? Is he abusing you?"

At this point, there was a slight tremble in Jenna's voice.

Tae had lost a lot of weight.

His face was void of any color, and there were faint cracks on his dry lips.

His chest rose and fell unsteadily. He wanted to speak, but he could not find his voice.

Mrs. Min walked over with a glass of warm milk and passed it to Tae.

"Have a glass of milk first, Sir. Don't be afraid. Now that Madam Jenna is here, you can eat."

Jenna's brows furrowed furiously as she said, "What's that? Jungkook isn't letting Tae eat? How did he get so skinny? Is he trying to starve him to death?"

The incident shocked Jenna to the core.

She stormed over to the living room and stood before her son.

"Jungkook, Tae is the wife that I arranged for you. What would you have me think if you tormented him this way?"

"He should be punished for his mistakes. If it weren't for your sake, do you think I would have allowed him to stay until now?" Jungkook said in a cold, nonchalant voice.

The way he saw it, starving him for two days was a lot more merciful than breaking his arm.

He touched something he was not supposed to. He crossed his line. How could he easily forgive him?

"Mistake? What did Tae do?" asked Jenna.

In her eyes, Tae was a sensible, well-behaved, and observant boy. He would never be stupid enough to deliberately anger Jungkook.

Jungkook pursed his lips and did not answer his mother.

"I know... I know why you never wanted to get married and have children," said Jenna. "Jungkook, it's because I know too well exactly what you're thinking that I can't allow you to do this. Tae is a good guy. It's fine if you don't love him. You just have to stay together, even if you're only husband and wife in name!"
At this point, Jenna's eyes welled up with tears of agony.

She became even more worked up the more she spoke, and her eyes turned bloodshot.

Jungkook was about to retaliate when he noticed his mother's condition. He signaled to his bodyguard to hold on to her.

"As long as I'm sure, you can't chase Tae out! Divorce isn't out of the question... You just have to find a guy you like. I won't allow you to spend the rest of your life alone!" Jenna said as the bodyguard helped her to the couch. Her head was spinning even more.

She could feel herself running out of breath as she said those words.

Thirty seconds later, Jenna's head tilted and she fell back onto the couch.

The old woman, who just had been discharged that morning, was then rushed back to the hospital.

Jungkook did not expect his mother to be so stubborn. He also did not expect her to be so furious.
