Chapter 13

In the bathroom of the master bedroom, the nurse was carefully drying the water droplets off of Jungkook's body with a dry towel.

His legs were still weak and he was only able to stand up if someone was holding on to him, so he needed the help of the nurse.

This nurse had been taking care of him ever since he met with the accident.

He was a middle aged man who was meticulous and careful with his work.

"You have a bruise on your thigh, Mr. Jeon," said the nurse as he put on Jungkook's bathrobe and helped him out of the bathroom. "I'll go get some ointment for you."

Jungkook sat on the edge of the bed and opened up the bathrobe to look at the bruise when the nurse walked out of the room.

It was not like he had no feeling in his legs, but when Taehyung had pinched him, he held back and pretended like he had felt nothing.

For some reason, he kept recalling Tae's crying face.

Also, the unique fragrance of his body continued to linger in his mind.
Jungkook had never felt this way about someone in all of his years.

There was never a person who was able to make him feel such strange emotions.

Something about Kim Taehyung somehow managed to arouse something inside of him.

Was it necessary for him to feel this way towards a guy whom he was about to divorce?

It was a feeling that was completely strange and absurd to him.

If he had a chance to go through it again, however, he would still lose his temper and rip his dress apart.

...

At 7 a.m. the next morning, Tae deliberately woke up early to avoid Jungkook and have his breakfast.
He emerged from his bedroom and headed towards the dining room.

"Sir! You woke up early today, too! Breakfast is ready," Mrs. Min greeted him with a smile.

The word "too" was said with a strong emphasis.

Since Jungkook was there, he should just return to his room.

"I made some vegetarian ravioli for you this morning. I made it especially for you since you mentioned not wanting to eat meat yesterday. I hope it suits your taste," Mrs. Min said warmly as she escorted Tae to his seat at the table.

Tae looked like he was sitting on pins and needles with a face of uneasiness.
He might as well have the words "I don't want to see you, Jeon Jungkook" written on his face.

Jungkook did not look straight at him, but he felt the resistance emanating from him.

"We're going to see my mother after breakfast. You should know yourself what to say and what not to say," he said indifferently.

"When did you plan on giving me the money for that dress last night?" Tae asked sternly.

It was fine if he wanted him to cooperate and go see Jenna, but he had to settle his debt first.

"There isn't much cash at home," Jungkook said as he took a sip of milk, "I can wire it over to you if you're in a rush."

"That works. Here's my account number!" Tae said as he pulled out his phone, opened up his account number and passed it over to Jungkook.

"How much was it?"Jungkook asked as he set down his glass of milk and pulled out his phone.

"Five thousand," Tae responded.
