Love In Disguise - Kim Taehyung ff

Damage Control

The following morning, Taehyung and Y/N woke up to a storm of headlines and social media posts. Jihoon had gone public, sharing carefully crafted rumors and photos that painted Taehyung and Y/N in the worst possible light. Every headline was more sensational than the last, each one casting doubt on their relationship, their loyalty, and even their intentions.

"Taehyung, this is getting out of hand," Y/N said, scrolling through the endless stream of hate comments and accusations. "If we don't do something, people are going to believe him."

Taehyung paced the room, his mind racing. "He's using everything against us—every moment, every conversation. I never thought he'd go this far."

Just then, Taehyung's manager called, his voice tense. "We need to respond, Taehyung. Silence is only going to make things worse. I've arranged an emergency press conference for this afternoon. This is our chance to clear the air."

Y/N took Taehyung's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "We'll face them together. We'll tell the truth, and people will see through Jihoon's lies."

Hours later, they arrived at the conference venue, the room packed with reporters and flashing cameras. Taehyung felt his heart pounding, but with Y/N by his side, he took a deep breath and stepped up to the podium.

"Thank you all for being here today," he began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "There have been a lot of rumors about me and Y/N, and I want to take this opportunity to address them head-on."

He spoke openly, describing how Jihoon had betrayed their trust and had been behind the recent leaks and threats. Y/N, standing beside him, shared their own experience of receiving anonymous messages and facing online harassment. The crowd listened intently, some nodding in understanding, others skeptical.

When they finished, a reporter raised her hand. "Taehyung, given everything that's happened, how can you be sure this isn't going to impact your career or your relationship with your fans?"

Taehyung looked at Y/N, his expression softening. "I can't control how people will react. All I can do is be honest and hope they see the truth. Y/N has been my constant, my strength through everything, and I won't let lies tear us apart."

A wave of murmurs spread through the room as reporters furiously scribbled down notes. The sincerity in his words was undeniable, and many of the reporters began nodding in support.

As the press conference concluded, Taehyung and Y/N stepped down from the podium, exhausted but relieved. They had told their story, putting everything out in the open, and now they could only wait to see how the public would respond.

Back in the car, Y/N turned to him, a small smile on their face. "No matter what happens, I'm proud of you."

Taehyung pulled them into a hug, feeling a sense of peace he hadn't felt in weeks. "And I'm grateful for you. We'll get through this together."

But as they drove off, a notification popped up on Taehyung's phone—a message from Jihoon. It read: "Nice speech. Let's see how far your 'honesty' gets you."

They exchanged a glance, knowing Jihoon wasn't finished yet. The road ahead was still uncertain, but at least now they faced it as a united front.
