New Horizons

part 36

Short chapter warning!

Taehyung has gone from last 7 days and he has no name of returning. But he kept calling his husband everyday at least twice to make sure he was okay.
But from the last two days jungkook couldn’t contact with Taehyung. He called a few times but taehyung didn’t answer. And from the last night taehyung's phone is switched off.

Since the jungkook is being restless and now waiting for the morning so he can go to taehyung's house.
His situation with his children aren’t good either. He tried to talk with them a few more times this week but the two siblings completely avoided him and didn’t talk with him a word since the fight. Their grandparents tried to calm them down too but they again blamed them saying they were the reason Their father had to remarry.

Next morning jungkook decides to skip his office and visit taehyung in his mother's house.
Around 10 pm jungkook gets ready and when he is about to leave, the door bell rings and one maid opens the door.

"I'm here to talk with Mr Jeon Jungkook."
Jungkook hears the man says. So he walks toward the door.

"I'm jeon jungkook. Who are you mr?" jungkook asks.

"I'm Advocate shark xan, I'm here to talk with you."

"Ah- please come inside and have a sit." jungkook says and leads the man to the couch.

"What's the matter Advocate?" jungkook asks confusedly.

"Your wife jeon taehyung has send me here."

Hearing this jungkook sits straight. Why would Taehyung send a lawyer here? "And may i know the reason? My wife and i Don't have any problem that a lawyer would appear."

Without answering the Advocate takes out some papers from his bag and puts them in front of jungkook. "Please check." he says.

Jungkook frowns and takes the paper in his hands to check. And within second his face turns pale. Taehyung is asking for divorce?

"What kind of joke is this?" jungkook speaks loudly slamming the papers on the table. "You are definitely a fraud. What is your purpose to come here and make vile jokes?" he says rudely.

The advocate brings out some more papers from his bag and shows jungkook his license. "I have no time to joke with you mr. Your wife actually asked for divorce. "

"And why? Why would he ask for divorce out of nowhere?  We literally have no reason for something like this." jungkook argues.

"For the reason he stated that- he isn’t getting along with your family even after one year of the marriage. There's always some fights in the family because of him. And he says he doesn’t want to be the center of any problem and he no longer wants to be a member of this family. And I'm here to ask you about what kind of fights you all go Through because of your wife. It's necessary to know before taking any further step."

Jungkook stays silent. Was taehyung thinking about divorce all the time? But he acting, talking normally with him always. "It's normal fights like my children from my ex- wife doesn’t want to accept him. But i always try to make them understand. Taehyung never mentioned anything like divorce to me. Then how can he suddenly sent a Advocate for it?"

"I Don't know what he was thinking or everything about the argument you all have. But It's one year of marriage and if your children still can't accept him then you shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. Now tell me what's your opinion?  Do you want to accept it for take action against the divorce filed by your wife."

"No divorce is happening. I'll talk with my wife. You can leave with your papers." jungkook says rudely.  

"Okay. Please talk with your wife and let me know your mutual decisions." the advocate says and leaves.

As soon as the Advocate leaves jungkook's mother comes to his running. Now jungkook notices everyone is here including his children.

"Why is he asking for divorce suddenly?" she asks.

"Seo and minho didn’t accept him and there's always a fight in the house because of him. That's why. I'm surprised but not disappointed. I would do this too if this kept happening with me." jungkook answers side eyeing his children. "Now It's going to be great that I'm getting the title of two divorce man right? Definitely now people is going to think I'm at all fault because my both wives left me. This is going to be great to show for everyone."

Jungkook's mother stays silent. She didn’t expect it or think about it at all but the way her grandchildren are acting nobody would tolerate this.

"What are you going to do?" she asks to her son.

"I'll go to his house and talk. Do you think i want to be clown in front of everyone  by getting divorced by my second wife too after Just one year of marriage? I'm getting old and I'm not ready to go Through the same kind of depression that i faced 7 years ago.  Please understand my situation too. I really can't take all these pressures. One side my own children and now him. I'll go mad if it continues for a week or more. Do you think i have enough mental strength at this age to tolerate this all that you all are doing to me? " he says looking at his children.

"Why are you Blaming us? Did i ask you to get married?  You did, now your problem. Tell us if you want us to get out of this house and we will leave." seojin says and leaves.

"Here they go again, the same thing from the last few days!" jungkook says tiredly. "I'm leaving." he says to his mother and leaves.

When jungkook reaches to his in law's house he finds the door is locked. He tries to look through the window but doesn’t find anyone. He rings calling bell, knocks the door but no one responses.

"Where the hell did they go?" jungkook says tiredly and gets inside his car. He drives his car toward taehyung's school with full speed. But he dobuts taehyung is in school,  his all school materials are still in their room but he needs to check.

He arrives at the school before 20 minutes of the school ends. When the final bell rings at first the students come out, then teachers but taehyung still isn’t here. He waits till the guard locking the gate thinking maybe taehyung is doing some important works.

But when he Doesn't find taehyung he Again drives toward taehyung's house thinking maybe they went somewhere else and could be back by now.

And yeah he is right. When he reaches to taehyung's house for the 2nd time he finds the door Isn't locking from outside anymore.

Jungkook locks the calling bell impatiently and after 30-40 seconds  the door gets open - revealing taehyung.

Bye
