"Oh, my dear, I'm overjoyed, Tae!" Mrs. Kim exclaimed, her voice brimming with delight as she learned of Taehyung's voluntary agreement to the marriage. She embraced him with unrestrained enthusiasm, and Taehyung offered a gentle smile in response to his mother's exuberance.


He was now prepared to acknowledge the reality of Yn's marital status, the fact that she was no longer his, that he held no claim upon her. Yet, deep within his heart, an agonizing wound festered, an internal hemorrhage of emotions he struggled to articulate.


Taehyung's POV

"Yes, Mom, I am ready to marry Jisoo, your chosen bride, my friend." His inner voice resonated with a quiet resolve. "But she will remain just that-a friend. I will always treat her with the respect and affection reserved for my closest confidante, as she has always been and will forever be.

I apologize, but I cannot offer her the same place in my heart that Yn occupied. She will forever reign there, Mother, even though she is no longer mine. Once, she was mine, and I was hers. She now belongs to another, but I will always remain hers."

"I promise." ❤️‍🩹

End of Taehyung's POV


Jisoo observed Taehyung intently, a sense of unease settling within her. She suspected his decision was not born of genuine desire, recognizing his lingering affection for Yn. The events of the previous day at the Choi's workplace, she surmised, had driven him to this course of action. A wave of sorrow washed over her, both for Yn and for Taehyung, while she herself remained bound by her parents' wish for her marriage to him. This was the first time her parents had made such a request, believing it to be for her own well-being, a union with Taehyung, her friend, nothing more.


She sighed, hesitant to voice her concerns to Taehyung, especially in the presence of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Kim were radiating joy at Taehyung's acceptance of the marriage. Mrs. Kim approached Jisoo, enveloping her in a warm, comforting embrace. Jisoo reciprocated, her gaze drifting towards Taehyung, who stood present in body only, his expression devoid of emotion.

Jisoo's POV

"Don't do this, Tae, please," she silently pleaded. "You're jeopardizing your life, and mine as well. I... I admire Mr. Choi, but he is Yn's husband. I was drawn to him at first sight, but upon learning of his marriage, I retreated. I feel a pang of sadness when I see them together, not because they are together, but because I see his underlying sorrow. It seems they both endure some form of marital strife. But he cannot mistreat Yn, I am unsure about this. You could be mistaken. And because of your assumption you are jeopardizing everyone's lives here. "

Meanwhile,

"Something is profoundly amiss," Jimin declared, his voice laced with suspicion, as he settled onto a plush couch in his opulent living room. "Indeed," Jungkook concurred, reclining on a nearby couch. "Should we attempt to speak with Yn?" Jungkook inquired. Jimin paused, his brow furrowed in thought, before nodding decisively, startling Jungkook. "Yes, let us proceed."


Jungkook rose to his feet, and they both hastened towards the parking area. As they entered their vehicle, Jimin, in the driver's seat, prepared to start the engine, when an unfamiliar car entered their premises, obstructing their departure. "Who is this now?" Jungkook questioned, perplexed by the uninvited guest. But recognition dawned swiftly.
