Chapter - 25

( Please ignore mistakes )

Taehyung came out of the washroom with teary eyes and ran away without looking at anyone. He wiped his tears and stood on the roadside, waiting for a taxi. After a few minutes, a taxi stopped in front of him, and he immediately got inside.

He held the black coat tightly in his fist, trying to control his tears. All he wanted was to get back home as soon as possible, but luck seemed to be against him today. The taxi suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. Taehyung looked at the driver, who tried restarting the engine but failed. The driver then looked back at Taehyung.

"Sorry, sir, but we are out of fuel. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange another taxi for you," the driver said. But Taehyung simply got out of the vehicle, handed the driver the money, and walked away.

He couldn’t wait any longer; he just wanted to get home. Since the mansion was not far, he decided to walk.

Taehyung walked towards his destination with heavy, fast steps when a car suddenly stopped near him. He ignored it at first and kept walking, but then he heard a familiar voice. He looked back to see Mrs. Jeon, who had driven up next to him again.

"Taehyung, what happened to you?" she asked immediately, noticing that Taehyung didn’t look well.

"M-Mrs. Jeon."

"Come inside the car quickly," she said, worried.

Taehyung got inside the car and sat in the front seat next to her. She started the engine, saying, "We need to talk about something."

Taehyung didn’t respond, just looked down silently. Mrs. Jeon became quiet as well and drove toward the mansion.

At the mansion, Mrs. Jeon gave Taehyung some pills, which he swallowed with water. He then looked at the woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed in front of him.

"Now tell me," Mrs. Jeon said as she placed her palm on Taehyung’s. He was too nervous to speak, and Mrs. Jeon noticed this. "Taehyung, I told you before that I’m like your mother. You can share anything with me... don’t be nervous."

Taehyung looked at her emotionally, and seeing this, Mrs. Jeon gently hugged him. Taehyung immediately hugged her back. "Shhh, it’s okay, you can tell me," Mrs. Jeon said softly, caressing his back. Taehyung closed his eyes tightly and told her everything. At first, she was shocked and angry, but she quickly controlled her emotions for Taehyung’s sake and said softly:

"Why don’t you take a leave from your office until your delivery date is over?"

Hearing this, Taehyung broke the hug and looked at her sadly with slightly wet eyes. "My boss would never agree to this. I’m fine with my job... I have no problem with it."

Mrs. Jeon placed her palm on Taehyung's cheek and wiped away the fresh tears. "I know, but I'm saying this for the sake of the child... If your coworkers are like this, then we can't say what could happen in the future. Working during pregnancy is fine, it won't harm anyone, but I don't think at this time it would be safe for you to work in a place where people are like that."

Taehyung didn’t respond and thought about her words. He looked down sadly. "As I said, my boss won’t agree to the leave."

"Who is your boss?" Mrs. Jeon asked.

"Kim Mingyu."

Mrs. Jeon was a little shocked to hear this; she didn’t know Taehyung worked at that company. "Y-You mean at Kim’s Corporation?" Taehyung looked at her and nodded. She hummed and then fell silent.

"Mrs. Jeon," Taehyung spoke, and the woman hummed in response.

"Please don’t tell J-Jungkook about this," Taehyung added.
