PART 43

Jimin collapsed onto the couch, exhausted. "I need a foot massage and ice cream."

Yoongi laughed, his eyes crinkling. "I'm coming, Your Highness. Or should I say, dad-to-Be?"

Jimin smiled weakly. "Shut up and massage my feet."

Yoongi obliged, his touch gentle. "Two weeks in, and already you're ruling my world."

Jimin's eyes fluttered closed. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Yoongi's voice dropped to a whisper. "Every moment, Jimin. Every moment with you and our little one. You're glowing, and it's breathtaking."

They was lost in their moment suddenly,
The doorbell rang shattering Yoongi's serenity. He rose, leaving Jimin's feet resting on the couch.

J-Hope stood stiffly at the door, his expression somber. "Yoongi."

Yoongi's instincts screamed warning as he took in J-Hope's tense posture. "What brings you here, Hobi?"

J-Hope handed Yoongi a stack of "Divorce papers."

Yoongi's vision blurred as he scanned the documents. His world crumbled.

"Hobi, please reconsider," Yoongi implored, desperation creeping into his voice.

J-Hope's tone remained icy. "It's over, Yoongi. I've thought this through."

Yoongi's eyes pleaded. "Why now? What's changed?"

J-Hope's gaze faltered before hardening. "I deserve better. Someone who truly loves me."

Yoongi's grip on the papers tightened. "You're saying I never loved you?"

J-Hope's voice dropped to a whisper. "Not the way I needed."

The silence hung heavy between them, a chasm opening.

Yoongi's eyes searched J-Hope's face, desperate to understand. "What did I do wrong, Hobi? Why didn't you tell me?"

J-Hope's gaze drifted away, his voice barely above a whisper. "You've been distant, Yoongi. Focused on your own world. I felt like I was losing you."

Yoongi's heart ached. "That wasn't true, Hobi. You're my everything."

J-Hope's expression softened, but his voice remained resolute. "I need someone who'll be present, Yoongi. Someone who'll prioritize our relationship."

Yoongi's hands reached out, longing to bridge the gap. "Hobi, please reconsider-"

J-Hope's eyes locked onto Yoongi's, filled with a deep sadness. "I've made up my mind, Yoongi. It's over."

The finality in J-Hope's tone left Yoongi reeling.

"You're ending our marriage like that?" Yoongi asked, his voice trembling.

J-Hope's expression turned icy. "Sign the papers, Yoongi. It's over."

"Give me time to-"

J-Hope cut him off, his tone unyielding. "Time is running out, Yoongi. Sign it before things get messy."

Yoongi's eyes pleaded, but J-Hope's gaze remained unyielding.

"This isn't you, Hobi," Yoongi whispered. "What's happened to us?"

J-Hope's mask slipped, revealing a glimmer of pain. "You happened to us, Yoongi. Your indifference, your absence... I'm done."

The words cut deep, but Yoongi refused to give up.

"Please, Hobi, don't do this," Yoongi begged, his voice cracking.

J-Hope's expression hardened. "Sign. The. Papers."
