LXXVI

The yard is silent except for Tina's fading sobs as she runs away. Guests stand frozen, shocked and disgusted.

The joyful baby showers are ruined, replaced by the chilling truth of Tina's evil plan.

Tae shakes, tears in her eyes. The truth about Tina's accidents and the papaya juice hits her hard. She didn't knew that either.

Nausea washes over her as she thinks of her baby being harmed. Everyone quickly gather around her, comforting her.

Jennie now utterly pale, clutches her own belly. "Oh my god, Tae" she whispers, her voice trembling. "I knew she was off, but...to  try to hurt you and the baby?"

A wave of fear washes over her. "Thank god you're fine" tears brim in Jennie's eyes.

Kook who couldn't utter a word earlier. He was as shocked as everyone. He never thought tina would go this far. He is grateful his mother come before him.

His anger turns to deep worry for Tae. He pulls her into a hug. "Are you okay, love?" he murmurs, kissing her forehead. He holds her tight, his eyes scanning their shocked family.

His anger at Tina is huge, but his need to comfort Tae comes first.

Hoseok rushes to Tae's side. He kneels down, placing a reassuring hand on her arm. "Tae, are you hurt? Please tell me you're okay." His voice is filled with a brotherly concern that cuts through the tension.

Tae nod at him slowly. Jin, still firm, now looks at Jimin, a sad anger on her face. Jimin's hand still stings from the slap.

Her chest feels heavy with lingering anger and betrayal. "I can't believe it" Jimin whispers, tears in her eyes. "I defended her. I thought she was just silly. But she actually tried to hurt Tae and her baby."

Namjoon places a comforting hand on her shoulder. "My brave baby bear" he says, his voice thick with emotion. "You and the baby are safe now, that's what matters."

Jimin hugs Jin. "Thank you, Jin" she says, her voice thick with emotion. "You saved them."

Guests slowly start talking, some offering comfort to Tae, others glaring at where Tina stood. The baby shower is ruined.

Yoongi steps forward, his expression showing grief. "This is beyond unacceptable. Tina will face consequences for this. Such malice has no place in our family but I'm glad our daughters are safe."

He caress their hair softly. Anyone can see that lingering fear of losing any of her princesses clear and loud.

Jungkook keeps holding Tae, rubbing her back. "It's over now, my love," he assures her. "She's gone. She can't hurt you or our baby anymore."

Tae leans into him, finding comfort. She looks up, their eyes meet, and they understand each other.

Their family, their love, is their strength. The danger is gone, and their love will heal them.

"I'm tired, hubby." Tae mumbles, her voice barely a whisper. The words are heavy with the emotional toll of the past few minutes.

Jungkook's eyes soften immediately, his protectiveness take over. "Of course, my love. Let's get you to our room." He gently helps her to her feet, supporting her as they head towards the mansion.

A collective sigh, heavy with disappointment and sadness, ripples through the remaining guests. The joyful spirit of the shower is utterly gone.

Jungkook carefully guides Tae, his gaze fixed on her, arms protectively around her shoulders. He make sure each step is steady and harmless.
