Unspoken Tensions

After the meeting with Yeonjun and Soobin ends, the room becomes quieter. Jungkook, Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok settle back into their chairs, but Jungkook's expression is serious. He leans forward, intertwining his fingers on the desk, the weight of the earlier events hanging heavily in the air.

Jungkook: "Sighing" There's something else I need to tell you all. Nana came to the office earlier today and completely lost it. She barged in, started making accusations, saying I've changed ever since I got with Tae, and even had the nerve to say she was supposed to marry me.

Yoongi's eyes narrow, Namjoon raises an eyebrow, and Hoseok lets out a low whistle.

Namjoon: "Calm but concerned" That's not good, Jungkook. I had a feeling she'd be a problem after everything that happened between you two, but I didn't expect her to go that far.

Yoongi: "Blunt" You should have gotten rid of her a long time ago. She's clearly unstable.

Hoseok: "Leaning back in his chair, more serious than usual" What exactly did she say?

Jungkook: "Clenching his jaw" She blamed Taehyung for everything. Said he's the reason for all her problems and even threatened him. She said some crazy stuff about how she'll ruin our lives. She got real aggressive, and honestly, I had to sack her. There's no way I can let her stay around anymore, not with the baby coming and the wedding so close.

Namjoon: "Nods" You made the right call. We don't need someone like her close to your family, especially with how protective you are of Tae.

Jungkook: "Leaning back, sighing" I need to find a new secretary. Someone older, more professional. I don't want to deal with anyone who might try to interfere with my marriage again. I need someone I can trust, who won't get involved in my personal life.

Yoongi: "Smirking slightly" An older secretary sounds like a good plan. Less chance of... distractions.

Hoseok: "Grinning" We'll help you find someone. Someone boring but efficient. No drama, no distractions, just good at their job.

Jungkook: "Nods" Thanks, guys. I just don't want anything—or anyone—causing stress for Tae or the baby. They're my priority now.

The group murmurs in agreement, fully supporting Jungkook's decision. After the discussion winds down, Jungkook decides it's time to check on Taehyung.

Jungkook arrives at Taehyung's company with bags full of Taehyung's favorite foods, hoping to lift his spirits. As soon as he steps into the office, Taehyung's eyes light up, but there's a hint of surprise behind his smile.

Taehyung: "Laughing softly" You brought all of this for me? I had a feeling you'd show up.

Jungkook: "Grinning" Of course I did. You know I can't stay away from you for too long. And I figured you could use a little break, especially with everything going on.

Taehyung's smile softens, and they sit down together, starting to unpack the food. As they share a few bites, the atmosphere is light for a moment, but Taehyung's mind seems preoccupied.

Jungkook: "Noticing" What's wrong, babe? You seem a little distracted.

Taehyung: "Sighs" I wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn't want to make you worry even more.

Jungkook: "Concerned" What is it?

Taehyung: "Frowning" I wanted to let you know that someone was following me on my way to work this morning. I wasn't sure at first, but they were behind me for way too long, taking the same turns, stopping when I stopped. I'm sure they were tracking me.

Jungkook's expression darkens instantly, his protective instincts kicking in. He leans forward, gripping Taehyung's hand tightly.

Jungkook: "Voice low, serious" Why didn't you tell me earlier? Who do you think it was? Nana?
