### Episode 28

Taehyung's heart pounded as he reread the letter, each word from Jungkook resonating deeply within him. He had never imagined Jungkook felt so strongly about Hana, nor had he known the extent of Jungkook's trust in him. It was a weighty revelation, and as he lay on his bed, the letter resting on his chest, tears slipped down his cheeks.

"Jeon Jungkook, what have you done?" he whispered to the empty room. "I know that was just a teenager's impulsive decision, but I can feel the depth of your love for Hana. You simply stated that you love her more than I do. Well, Jeon Jungkook, I won't break my promise. I will find the person who ruined everything, and I will protect her like only Kim Taehyung can."

**Kim Hana's POV**

Hana sat beside her mother on the bed, feeling a mix of comfort and unease. Mrs. Choi's gentle question broke the silence.

"Hana-ya, is Taehyung good to you?" she asked.

"Ne, eomma. He really cares about me," Hana replied, her voice soft but sincere.

Mrs. Choi nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. "I know, Hana-ya. But I think you should try to forget him."

Hana's heart ached at the suggestion. "Eomma, please. You know I love him. He's my everything. I can't forget him."

"Hana, he's not here anymore," her mother murmured. "But Taehyung really loves you. He came here a few days ago, asking about everything that happened to you. That's truly commendable. Despite knowing everything, he loves you even more now. Don't you think that's true love?"

Hana sat up, covering her face with her hands. "Eomma, jebal," she pleaded, her voice breaking.

Mrs. Choi hugged her, patting her back gently. "Hana-ya, I know something is bothering you. What's wrong? Tell eomma."

Through her tears, Hana confessed, "Eomma, I can't forget him. I can't forget his sobs, his screams, his pain. He was full of blood, not because he was hurt, but because I was. I lost my pride, and he knew that. Jeon Jungkook... Even after nine years, I'm keeping the promise I made. But I can't forget the man who ruined our lives, our love. Taehyung is my husband, and I care about him. I know he loves me, and I appreciate him, but eomma, I just don't know about my feelings for him. I only know that I love Jungkook with all my heart."

Mrs. Choi nodded, understanding her daughter's turmoil. "I respect your feelings, Hana. Now sleep and take some rest."

"Ne, eomma," Hana whispered, lying down with a heavy heart.

The next day, Taehyung was preparing to leave for work when Yoo Jung approached him. "Oppa, where is eonni? Where is she?" she asked.

"She's with her mother. I'm going to pick her up after work. Didn't Yeonjun tell you?" Taehyung smirked.

Yoo Jung blushed. "Aniyo, oppa, he didn't. Well, I'm missing eonni."

Taehyung smiled at her honesty. "Ne."

Mrs. Kim interrupted their conversation. "I think you're getting late, Taehyung. And you two are so noisy. You know I don't like talking during meals."

"Arasseo, eomma. By the way, I'm the CEO," Taehyung joked, eliciting laughter from everyone.

Mrs. Kim playfully pulled his ear. "Eomma, eomma, it hurts! I'm not the CEO; I'm just your son. Araji?" he pleaded.

Mrs. Kim smiled warmly. "Araji. Naughty boy. You know, Tae, keep smiling like that. I love your smile."

"Look who's talking," Yoo Jung teased.

"Shut up," Mrs. Kim and Taehyung said in unison, making Yoo Jung apologize with a grin.

At Kim Industries, Taehyung greeted Min Yoongi as he entered his office. "Annyeong, hyung. Sit down; I was waiting for you."

"Yeah, I was busy, but I came because of you. When you told me about that incident, Taehyung, it was really bad. I'm sorry for your wife; she's a poor girl," Yoongi said sympathetically.

"Aniyo, hyung. She has me; she's not alone. Did you get the information about him? The one I asked for?" Taehyung inquired.

Yoongi nodded. "You know me, man. I came to tell you everything I found out."

"Well, tell me, hyung," Taehyung urged.

"His name is Lee Min Ho. He was the heir to the Lee family, but after the incident, his father dismissed him and donated his wealth to the poor, leaving him with a small business," Yoongi explained.

"Hmm, he deserves that. Where is he now?" Taehyung asked.

"He's in America. His business has grown, and he's the CEO of a makeup brand's business in Los Angeles," Yoongi informed him.

Taehyung smirked. "That's great. My business is there too. I'll go and ruin him. Hyung, I need your help. I want your men when I need them."

"Anything for you, Tae," Yoongi replied.

"Thanks, hyung," Taehyung said.

"Umm, I think you should ask Ho Seok. He also has a business in America and can set up a meeting with him. He can help you," Yoongi suggested.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll definitely ask him," Taehyung agreed.

"Best of luck, Tae. I know you can do this," Yoongi encouraged.

"Anything for Hana, hyung," Taehyung murmured.

Later, as Taehyung drove to pick up Hana, he thought about the letter and Jungkook's words. He knew he had to tell Hana the truth.

"Hana-ya, I've something to tell you," Taehyung said, his voice serious.

"What is it?" she asked, curious and a bit anxious.
