When His Eyes Opened- TK

Chapter45

Chapter 45

Tae did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Relax… I was forced into it. When our family was struggling with money, my stepmother married me off for the engagement gifts and cash. I’m still waiting to get a divorce!”

“What the hell was she thinking?!” Dohee exclaimed. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? We should go to the police!”

Tae reached out to calm her down, then said, “It’s not as bad as you think. We’re from two completely different worlds, so we should get divorced anytime now.”

Dohee was still not convinced.

“Who is he? Tell me… You husband… Damn it! I still think this is insane!”

“It is pretty nuts. I’ll tell you who he is after we’re divorced.”

“Absolutely not! You need to tell me right now! I’ll stand up for you!”

Tae knew about Dohee’s bad temper all too well.

If she found out about Jungkook, she would definitely go after him.

His relationship with Jungkook was already on the rocks, and Dohee’s involvement would just add fuel to the fire.

“Just focus on looking into Jun Hertz for now! I’ll definitely tell you who my husband is after that,” Tae said, trying to negotiate with his best friend.

“Ha! Look at how easily you called him your husband. I bet you call him ‘Honey’ all the time!” Dohee teased.

Tae's cheeks flushed. He sighed, then said, “As if he would respond to that. He was forced into this, too.”

“Really? Here I thought you were whisked away and forced into marriage by some sleazebag-”

“Hey! I think you’ve watched too many soap operas! It’s not like that at all!”

Dohee shook her head and said sympathetically, “It looks like that senior in your department lost his chance. You know he likes you, right?”

The expression on Tae’s face froze.

“Alright! Don’t look at me like that… I know you don’t like him like that. I’ll talk to him…” Dohee said, then changed the subject and added, “Let’s go to a recital after this! There’s one at the Philharmonic Hall today!

Tae suddenly received a text message from an unknown number, but its contents sounded oddly familiar.

[The bodyguard will pick you up at 4 p.m.)

The text was signed “Jeon Jungkook”.

Did this unfamiliar phone number belong to Jungkook?

Why was the bodyguard picking him up?

“Did you hear what I said, Tae? There’s a recital this afternoon…” Dohee said as she reached out to pinch Tae’s cheek.

“What time is the recital?” Tae asked as he put his phone away.

He suddenly felt hot and took a big gulp of water. “Four thirty,” Dohee answered. “It’s your favorite piano virtuoso, Ricardo!”

Tae lifted his hand and massaged his aching temples, then said, “I really want to go! Really! But I have something to do at four!”

“What is it? Can’t you just cancel or something?’

“I can’t.” Dohee rolled her eyes, then said, “I get it! It’s your husband, isn’t it?”

Tae covered his face with his hands. His silence was a confirmation.

“Why do you care so much about him anyway? Who is he? Is he more important than I am? Can’t you just ditch him and come to the recital with me?” Dohee huffed. “Of course, you’re more important, but I’m a little afraid of him.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Is he going to beat you up if you don’t follow his every whim?”

Tae took another gulp of water.

“You’re such a wimp! You won’t even tell me who he is. Serves you right, getting bullied by him!”

Dohee felt bad for Tae’s situation, but she could not help but be furious at his cowardice.

The bodyguard picked Tae up from campus at four in the afternoon.

The car stopped at the car park of the Philharmonic Hall twenty minutes later.

Tae felt lightheaded as the bodyguard led him into the concert hall. “Jungkook wants to take me to a recital?”
