My Sister's Husband | Jikook ✔️

Chapter 14

Jungkook sat across from one of his closest friend Hoseok, feeling the weight of his words as he recounted the recent events. The coffee shop was bustling with activity, but in their corner, it felt like time had slowed down.

"Hyung, it's been so hard. Iseul's been... she's been blaming me for everything." Jungkook said, his voice filled with frustration and exhaustion.

Hoseok listened intently, his brows furrowing with concern. "Jungkook, that's not fair. She's your wife, she should be supporting you, not tearing you down. Have you tried talking to her about it?"

Jungkook shook his head, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Talking? Every time I try, it turns into a fight. She wants me to be perfect, to shout at her even, but I can't. It's like she wants to push me to my breaking point."

Hoseok leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "This all started after Jimin and Yoongi's engagement celebration, right? Do you think that has anything to do with it?"

Jungkook paused, thinking back to that night. The celebration had been beautiful, filled with laughter and love. But to him, it had marked the beginning of this. "I don't know, hyung. Maybe. Iseul seemed off after that night, more distant and critical. But I can't see how it would connect."

Hoseok sighed. "Sometimes events like that can stir up feelings we didn't know were there. Maybe seeing Jimin and Yoongi so happy made Iseul reflect on your relationship. It doesn't justify her actions, but it might explain some of her behavior."

Jungkook rubbed his temples, feeling the beginnings of a headache. "I just don't understand why she can't see my efforts, why she keeps hurting me mentally. I've tried so hard to make her happy."

Hoseok's eyes softened with empathy. "Jungkook, it's not your fault. You're doing your best, but you can't fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed. Have you considered talking to a professional about this? Maybe couples therapy?"

Jungkook nodded slowly. "I've thought about it, but Iseul won't agree. She thinks everything is my fault, that I need to change."

Hoseok reached out, placing a comforting hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "You deserve better than this, Jungkook. You're an amazing person, and you shouldn't have to suffer like this."

"Jimin hyung..." Jungkook hesitated for a moment before continuing, his thoughts drifting to his old friend. "Hoseok hyung, there's something else. Jimin hyung.... he's been in the middle of all this, too."

Hoseok raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair. "What do you mean? How's Jimin involved?"

"Well, Iseul went to their apartment yesterday according to Jimin hyung. She's staying there now. And... things between Jimin hyung and Yoongi hyung aren't great either. I feel like I'm dragging them into our mess," Jungkook explained, his voice tinged with guilt.

Hoseok frowned, processing the information. "That's a lot, Jungkook. But it sounds like Jimin is trying to help. Have you talked to him about how you're feeling?"

Jungkook shook his head. "Not really. I mean, we talked a bit, but I didn't go into much detail. I don't want to burden him with my problems."

Hoseok gave him a reassuring look. "Jimin's your best friend since college, Jungkook. He'd want to know what's going on with you. Maybe he can help you see things from a different perspective."

Jungkook sighed, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on him. "It's just... complicated. Jimin hyung is dealing with his own issues with Yoongi hyung. I don't want to add problems."

Hoseok nodded understandingly. "I get it. But sometimes sharing your problems can lighten the load for both of you. It might even bring you closer together."
