Between Chances And Choices

Chapter 9

"It sure looks like it's taken from outside. Probably by someone who was passing by?"

"That's what I told him!" Jimin agreed with Jin. "But he's so bent on accusing the woman she fought with."

"I'm telling you! It stinks of that witch!"

"But it doesn't make sense. If she's in love with your husband, she'd want to protect him. But look at what's happening now. Taehyung is the one getting more hate."

"She probably wanted to expose the lies I told but didn't think through enough because she's too mad?"

"If that's true, she's stupid. She set him up to be hated. The backlash regarding your lies is totally overshadowed by the hate your husband is getting because of what he did. I mean, what he didn't do."

"So hyung, you agree that it was her doing?"

The eldest shook his head. "Still not convinced."

"But why? It couldn't be anyone but her."

"It could be anyone. They probably saw you while they were passing by. They thought you're being dramatic so they took a video to make fun of you. But then, they realized that you're Jeon Jungkook so they kept it."

"But why did they release it? And why only now?"

"He has a point." Jimin seconded.

"Maybe she went out. Maybe she was, I don't know, getting coffee?"

"But you said they have a coffee machine?"

"Jimin, is that the most important detail to focus on right now?"

"But Jungkook said she might be getting coffee!"

"Then, she's getting pizza!"

"Why would someone go out in that heavy rain just to get pizza?"

"Fine. It's ramyeon!"

"Why don't they have some instant noodles in their pantry? They have a coffee machine for Pete's sake!"

"You two out!" Jin flailed his arms. "I'm supposed to be getting sleep. If you're just going to blab out nonsense, get out of my bedroom!"

The two stilled.

"So what did your husband say about all this?"

"He said it's fine. He deserved to be reprimanded for what he did."

"But what he's been getting is way below the belt."

"He said it's much better that the focus is not on me." Jungkook added with a pout.

"Did you tell him about your hunch?"

"No."

"Why?"

He shrugged.

"You think he's not going to side with you?"

"I need substantial proof."

"What will the palace do?"

"They're going to say that we did reconcile after that. But only when it gets much worse. We're going to keep quiet. In the hope that this will die down."

"Band-aiding it with another lie might just aggravate it."

They all mindlessly nodded.

"But where was it first seen?"

"It was posted as a comment in their biggest fan page in Spacebook."

"So, there's an account who posted it?"
