A Man Always Knows

Chapter 8

It's hard to believe that just 3 months ago I was bouncing from court room to court room, tired, scared and miserable without Yoongi next to me. Now that we were expecting to welcome a baby into our lives we needed to begin mentally and emotionally preparing ourselves for anything. Yoongi left his apartment in Gangnam and moved in with me while I finished my last year at Hongik University. This would also be my first year celebrating Chuseok and being apart of someone's family and the holiday was just a couple weeks away, we didn't have a lot of time to prepare.

Yoongi went to the market to pick up a few things to make dinner that evening while I finished up some homework. My phone lit up notifying me of a text from a number I didn't recognize:

UnKnown: Are you home?

Me: I'm sorry, I don't know this number.

UnKnown: Is Yoongi living with you now?

Me: Who is this?

I was really beginning to freak out now. I had changed my number 3 times already because somehow Jiyong manages to get a hold of my new one.

UnKnown: It's the person you've been avoiding for the past 4 months. Don't bother changing your number again, I'll always find you.

I sent Yoongi a text asking him to come home as quickly as possible and that I would be turning my phone off.

Me: He found me again, come home soon!

There was a knock at the door and I felt a brick hit the pit of my stomach. The doorbell rang and the knocking continued rapidly. I was afraid to check the cam and see who was standing outside my door. I checked anyway, it was Taeyang. I hadn't seen him since I put the restraining order on Jiyong, what did he want? I spoke to him over the intercom, something didn't feel right.

"Taeyang, how are you?" I greeted him warmly. "What brings you by?"

"Just wanted to see how you and Yoongi are doing," he responded.

"He's in the shower, do you need to speak with him?", I lied through my teeth. Every bone in my body said Jiyong was standing out side with him strategically placed off cam. Why would he do this?

"No, I just want to talk to you," he said. "May I come in?"

All of a sudden I heard Yoongi yelling in the hallway,

"Why did you bring him here? What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

I saw Yoongi punch Taeyang knocking him into a neighbour's door and Jiyong running off with a hood over his head, but not before he came over to the door and showed me his sinister smile letting me know, he's not giving up.

A couple of neighbours came out of their apartments to see what the commotion was all about and I finally opened the door to pull Yoongi and Taeyang inside so we could find out what was going on.

"Why did you bring him by here?", I asked as I put a cold wet cloth on Taeyang's eye.

"You know how insistant he can be, MinHye," Taeyang winced as I cleaned the blood off his face and gave him a cold pack for his knuckles.

"You shouldn't let him control you like that," Yoongi said. "You're not only putting MinHye's life in danger, but also our unborn child."

Taeyang looked at me shocked, guilty and excited, "Really?! That's great! Congratulations! You don't look like you've gained much weight so you must still be early on."

"3 months, to be exact," I said. "I really need you to be an advocate. I can't have you bringing him around here otherwise we'll be forced to move."
