Their Three wives

Saanvi’s Growing Doubts

Saanvi sat at the kitchen table the following morning, staring at the earring, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She couldn’t shake the image of the mysterious woman from her mind. The photograph seemed harmless on the surface, but her gut told her there was more to the story.

Her husbands were always busy, constantly traveling for work, but they had always been open with her—or at least she thought they had. Now, she wasn’t sure. The discovery of the earring had planted a seed of doubt, and as much as she tried to convince herself she was overthinking things, the nagging feeling wouldn’t go away.

She decided not to mention the earring to the members when they arrived that afternoon. She wanted to see if they acted differently, if they slipped up in any way.

When Namjoon, Jungkook, and Jimin arrived, they greeted her with the usual warmth and affection. They sat down for lunch, talking about their latest work projects, their travels, and upcoming schedules. Everything seemed normal, but Saanvi noticed the small things—how Namjoon hesitated for a second when she asked about their recent trip, how Jimin quickly changed the topic when she mentioned missing them the past few weeks, and how Jungkook seemed a little more distant than usual.

Saanvi couldn’t put her finger on it, but something was off. It was subtle, barely noticeable, but she was paying attention now. They were hiding something, and it wasn’t just about work.

Sneha’s Encounter

While Saanvi was grappling with her doubts, Sneha was having her own unsettling experience. The following evening, she was out shopping in Itaewon when she saw something that stopped her in her tracks.

She had just stepped out of a boutique when she spotted Taehyung walking down the street, holding hands with a woman. At first, Sneha thought it was a fan or maybe someone from the staff, but then she saw the way they were interacting—laughing, talking intimately, almost like a couple.

Sneha’s heart sank as she watched them from across the street. Taehyung hadn’t mentioned anything about meeting someone today. He was supposed to be busy with work, or at least that’s what he had told her the last time they talked.

She considered going up to him, saying hello, but something stopped her. Instead, she decided to follow them, keeping her distance. She felt guilty for doing it, but she needed to know what was going on.

They walked into a nearby café, and Sneha found a seat by the window of a restaurant next door, where she had a clear view of them. She ordered a coffee and pretended to scroll through her phone, but her eyes never left the café.

As she watched, her suspicions grew. They were definitely more than just friends. Taehyung was being affectionate in a way that wasn’t casual. The woman smiled up at him, clearly comfortable in his presence.

Sneha felt a mixture of confusion and betrayal. She had always trusted her husbands, and they had never given her a reason to doubt them. But now, watching Taehyung with this woman, she couldn’t help but wonder—was this the first time? Or had there been others?

She couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Sneha paid for her coffee and quickly left the restaurant, her mind racing with questions.

Sahana’s Discovery

Sahana was in her apartment, cleaning up after dinner, when her phone buzzed with a text. It was from Jin, asking if they could reschedule their visit to her place for later in the week.

Sahana sighed, a little disappointed. She hadn’t seen them in over a month, and she had been looking forward to spending time with them. But she understood how demanding their schedules were, and she was used to last-minute changes. She texted back a quick reply, telling him it was no problem.

As she put her phone down, something else caught her eye—a letter on the coffee table. She didn’t remember leaving it there. Curious, she picked it up and unfolded it.

It was a receipt from a jewelry store, dated two days ago, for a necklace. Sahana’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t bought any jewelry recently, and neither had any of her husbands mentioned getting her a gift.

Her mind raced. Who had bought the necklace, and who was it for? Could it be for someone else? The thought made her stomach twist in knots.

She tried to shake off the feeling of dread that was creeping over her. It was just a receipt, nothing more. Maybe it was meant to be a surprise gift, and she had ruined it by finding the receipt early.

But even as she told herself this, Sahana couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like there were pieces of the puzzle missing, pieces her husbands weren’t telling her.

The Members’ Growing Worry

Back at the studio, the seven members gathered for another meeting. They could feel the walls closing in around them. The longer they tried to maintain the secrecy of their three marriages, the more cracks began to appear.

Yoongi was the first to speak up, his voice heavy with concern. “We’re slipping. Saanvi found an earring, and she’s not letting it go.”

Taehyung nodded, guilt flashing in his eyes. “Sneha saw me with someone yesterday. I don’t think she followed me, but it’s only a matter of time before she starts asking questions.”

Namjoon leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “We knew this would get harder, but we’ve been doing this for years. We can’t just throw everything away now.”

Jin, always the calm one, sighed. “They’re starting to suspect things, and if we’re not careful, we’ll lose them all.”

Jungkook, sitting quietly in the corner, looked up. “What do we do then? How long can we keep this up?”

J-Hope, ever the optimist, tried to find a solution. “We just need to be more careful. Make sure we’re not leaving things behind or saying things that could make them suspicious. We’ve done it before; we can do it again.”

But even as they talked, there was a sense of unease in the room. They were all starting to feel the strain of keeping their secret lives hidden from the women they loved. The guilt was growing heavier with each passing day, and they knew it was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down.

Saanvi’s Confrontation

Later that evening, Saanvi sat on the couch, waiting for the members to return. She had made up her mind—she wasn’t going to let this go. She needed answers, and she was going to get them tonight.

When Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook walked through the door, they were greeted by Saanvi’s stern expression. She didn’t waste any time.

“Whose earring is this?” she asked, holding it up for them to see.

The members froze, exchanging uneasy glances. Namjoon was the first to speak, his voice steady but cautious. “It must belong to one of the stylists. They come by sometimes when we’re not around.”

Saanvi’s eyes narrowed. “I haven’t seen a stylist here in weeks. And this isn’t the first time I’ve found something like this.”

Jungkook shifted uncomfortably, avoiding her gaze. Jimin tried to smooth things over, giving her a soft smile. “You’re overthinking it, Saanvi. We would never—”

“Don’t,” she interrupted, her voice firm. “I know something’s going on. You’ve been acting differently, and I’m not stupid. So tell me the truth. What are you hiding?”

The room fell silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. The members didn’t know what to say, and for the first time in their marriage, Saanvi felt the weight of betrayal hanging in the air.
