Amongst the darkness, Seulgi and the others couldn't see Taehyung at all. All they could do was stand around with faces full of resentment as they used all types of insults to complain about Jennie. From his hidden position, Taehyung watched their helpless expressions as the corners of his mouth slightly curved up. How dare they insult his wife...if he hadn't heard, it wouldn't have mattered…but since he heard it…

…then…

…luck must not be on their side...

In the dark, Taehyung picked up his phone and made a call to Suga, "Help me find out which agency Byun Risa works for."

"Yes, president!" Suga answered swiftly.

Before leaving the US, he definitely needed to leave something behind for Byun Risa. After all, she had done so much to Jennie, including tricking her into coming all the way here to be Kang Seulgi's stepping stone. He thought about it, what he was about to do was after Jennie had already won her battle against them, so it wouldn't be considered as interfering in her business, right?

Amongst the bright and colorful celebration dinner, Jennie maintained her smile as she mixed with the guests and reporters. As she didn't want Taehyung to wait too long, she said she wasn't feeling well as an excuse and left the dinner midway, taking Lin Wei and Nayeon with her.

After walking out of the main entrance of the hotel, Jennie successfully spotted Taehyung amidst the darkness. This man, who was the center of attention, always seemed to disregard his own identity and wait for her amongst various hidden corners. Lin Wei and Nayeon didn't want to be lightbulbs so they took their own taxi back to the manor, leaving Jennie on her own to board Taehyung's car.

Taehyung watched as Jennie approached. Seeing her shoulders were still exposed, he quickly removed his suit jacket and placed it on her, "Didn't you think of asking Nayeon to prepare a jacket for you when you left the manor this morning?"

"If I had asked Nayeon to prepare one, would I still have had the chance to wear this jacket that contains your warmth?" Jennie smiled, before continuing, "President Kim's jacket can't simply be worn by anyone."

Taehyung was completely defeated by her as he caringly held onto her icy cold hands and helped her into the car, "Let's go home…"

Upon returning to the manor, the whole place had been transformed. The bedroom was covered with fresh flowers and fragrant candles were lit throughout the entire house.

Taehyung hugged Jennie from behind as he placed a kiss on her back, "This is to celebrate you returning with glory…"

"These past few days, you haven't had a proper night's rest. Since we finally had a day off…" – Jennie's voice sounded a little choked up – "…why didn't you get some rest? We will be flying home tomorrow. After that, you will be busy again…"

"If you feel guilty, then why don't you give me a massage later?"

Jennie looked around as she enjoyed the fragrance. She grabbed onto Taehyung's arm and pushed him onto the bed. Then, with the essential oils she got from Nayeon, she poured some into her hand and gently pressed against Taehyung's back. Taehyung's body had always been worth mentioning, as it had always been built and firm, however, because of the demanding work he had been doing over the past few days, his muscles had become extra tense. Jennie was a bit upset; ever since marrying Taehyung, it seemed she hadn't spent much time taking care of his health.

"I will reflect on this…" Jennie reminded herself.

"Huh?" Taehyung didn't know what she wanted to reflect on, so he made a questioning sound.
