Jin, sitting on the floor, eventually falls asleep, tears still drying on his face. He sleeps right there, lost in his sorrow and exhaustion.

Around 7 in the evening, he wakes up, his surroundings dimly lit due to the setting sun. He looks around in confusion, the shadows in the room deepening with the fading daylight. Slowly, he stands up and opens the door to his room.

Peeking outside, Jin notices a suitcase sitting near the door-it's his. His belongings, hastily packed and brought here. He pulls it inside, sitting back down on the floor. Opening the suitcase, he finds his clothes, his medicines, and other necessities carefully placed inside.

For a moment, he stares at the suitcase, his eyes filling with fresh tears. Clutching it tightly against his chest, he whispers to himself, "What is happening to me? I married an Alpha I've known for barely two days... and even that was under false pretenses."

His voice cracks as he continues, "Now, every dream I had feels like a lie. My mind is playing games with me, and this imposter is taking full advantage of it. Jungkook... Jungkook was telling the truth. And instead of trusting him, I chose to believe a liar."

Letting out a shaky sigh, he mutters, "What now?"

Just then, there's a knock at his door. A maid's voice follows:
"Sir, I've brought some food for you."

Jin replies softly, his voice hoarse, "Thank you... but I'm not hungry. Please... take it back."

The maid hesitates but eventually turns to leave. Before she can, Taehyung appears. He takes the tray from her and walks into Jin's room without waiting for permission.

Taehyung pauses as he sees Jin sitting on the floor, clutching his suitcase like a lost child. His heart clenches at the sight-Jin looks like a lost puppy, abandoned and aching for comfort. For a moment, Taehyung's emotions threaten to overwhelm him, but he quickly regains his composure.

In a cold, commanding voice, he says, "These tantrums won't work in this house. You need to follow the rules and routines here. Everything must be done on time."

His tone sharpens as he continues, "Eat this now, change, and come downstairs within ten minutes. Or else... you can't even imagine the consequences."

Taehyung turns to leave, but Jin shoots to his feet, glaring at him.

"Rules and routines? To hell with them! To hell with you!" Jin snaps, his voice shaking with anger. "I'm not coming, and I'm not following anything you say! Who do you think you are to impose all this on me?"

Taehyung halts, his back to Jin, his fists clenching tightly. Slowly, he turns around, his gaze locking onto Jin's defiant eyes.

"What did you just say?" Taehyung asks, his voice low and dangerous.

Jin doesn't back down. "I said I won't listen to you! Who are you to me, anyway? You're nothing but a liar-a manipulative imposter who's playing games with my life! You turned me against Jungkook with your lies. False words with no truth, no answers!"

Taehyung's patience snaps. He strides toward Jin, grabs his wrist, and pulls him close, twisting Jin's arm slightly behind his back to bring him closer. Their faces are inches apart, and Taehyung's voice drops to a growl.

"You're right. I don't have answers to your questions," Taehyung admits. "So what?"

Jin looks at him in stunned silence as Taehyung continues, his voice softer but still intense, "Even if I told you what's in my heart, would you understand? Could you trust it?"

Jin's breath hitches as he stares into Taehyung's eyes, searching for something-anything.

Taehyung exhales, his voice trembling slightly. "I didn't marry you so I could have you in my bed. For me, seeing you smile for the rest of your life is worth so much more than that."
