Tzuyus POV

Living Room

"Morning wife".

I looked up and saw Sana who was breastfeeding our little jihyun.

"Hi".

"Have you seen the news about Mina?", she asked.

"No. I haven't why would she have any? She's not a celebrity".

"Well, it's hard to avoid this one. My manager told me about it. and technically she's going to be known now", she said handing me her phone.

ClebGossip: Rumours that Kim Aria the daughter of Kim Mina is not biologically Kim Taehyungs but her best friend Jeon Jungkook

"I think it's fake news".

"Oh come on tzuyu.  Kim Taehyung's son said she lived with him for 3 years while dating his father. I mean why else would he be taking her children out to places when it should be her own husband? She may have had sex with him and got pregnant".

I frowned, my chest tightening as she went on.

"Well, I just don't see Mina being the type to cheat. Absolutely not. I mean, Aria looks like her and Taehyung---".

"Are you that close to Dahyun, Tzuyu?", Sana cut me off sharply.

"Well, no, but---"

"See? And you've seen how they act. Jungkook acts more like her husband than Taehyung does. It even sounds like he spends more time with her and the kids. Ain't no way there isn't something going on between them".

I had seen Jungkook around Mina more than Taehyung recently, and maybe, just maybe, there was a sliver of doubt I couldn't shake. But then again, Mina wasn't like that. She couldn't be.

"No, I... I don't see her doing that", I said.

Sana raised an eyebrow, her expression turning more serious.

"Tzuyu, what happened back when you confessed to her?".

Her words hit harder than I wanted to admit.

"She pushed you away. Went out nightclubbing and slept with another woman. You don't think she's capable of cheating?".

I winced at the memory. The rejection had stung deeply. I thought back to those nights when Mina pulled away from me, those nights when she disappeared into the city and returned a different person.  Mina, did run away from whatever we had. And did kiss that woman. But cheating? Could she really be the type? Could there have been something more going on?

"Look, I'm not saying it's all true, but maybe... you need to think about the kind of person Mina is. Tzuyu. And if she did that to you then it's not unthinkable she slept with him".

Was Mina the person I thought she was? Or was there a truth I had been too blind to see? No shes is nothing like that. He just a caring guy. 

Minas POV

Living Room

The house was unnervingly quiet as I sat on the couch, Taehyung pacing back and forth in front of me. His brow was furrowed, the deep lines on his face showing his frustration. My chest felt heavy, the weight of everything pressing down on me.

"It's not true, Tae. You know that, right?".

He stopped pacing and turned to face me, his dark eyes locked onto mine.

"I know, darling. Of course, I know. I've already sent a team to investigate who even started this rumour. Someone's going to pay for this".

The knot in my stomach loosened slightly, but I still felt sick with anxiety.

"I don't understand why anyone would say something like that. Jungkook has been my best friend for years, but I never had sex with him. Even before me and you started going on dates. I---".

"I know", Taehyung interrupted, walking toward me and crouching down in front of the couch, his hands resting on my knees.

"You don't have to explain it to me. I know you, and I trust you and him".

I shook my head, fighting back tears.

"But they're going to keep talking, Tae. The media, people online... they're not going to let this go. What if what if this affects Hyunjae or Aria? What if they start hearing these rumours at school? I don't want them to suffer because of something that isn't true".

He sighed, running a hand through his hair before standing up again.

"It's already a mess, I won't lie. But I've sent people. They're going to trace it back to whoever started this garbage. We'll shut it down before it spirals further", he said.

I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.

"I'm scared, Tae. This... this wasn't what I wanted for us. All I ever wanted was to be a good wife, a good mother. And now, this--- ".

I gestured toward the phone.

"I am shown in the media and suddenly I'm attacked with stuff like this".

Taehyung stepped closer, sitting down beside me on the couch. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into him.

"I know you're scared. But we'll deal with this together. I'm not going to let some stupid rumour tear us apart. You've done nothing wrong, Mina. This person will pay for it", he said.

His words felt like a lifeline, but the anxiety was still gnawing at me.

"I just how can you be so sure? What if this gets bigger than we can control?".

Taehyung's grip on me tightened.

"Because I know you. I know the woman I married. And we've built something stronger than any tabloid scandal. They can try to tear us down, but they won't succeed. Not unless we let them. We have the biological documents that show she is mine".

I closed my eyes, leaning into his warmth. For a moment, I let myself believe him. Let myself feel safe, despite everything.

"I love you", I whispered, my voice barely audible.

He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you too, Mina. We're going to get through this".

But even as I sat there in his arms, a part of me couldn't shake the fear. The fear that this rumour had the power to unravel everything our marriage, our family, my sense of self.
