Jin's POV

Tonight I lie awake. I'm not able to take a little bit of sleep because my mind won't stop thinking of all the why's that is kept unanswered. I wanted to confront him right now but that won't be a smart move. I'm thinking of a plan on how to caught him red handed.

I felt something wet drip down my face. I didn't noticed that I'm crying already. I didn't bothered to wipe it away. I look at Taehyung beside me. I touched his face and talked to him as if he could answer me.

"How can you be at peace when you are hiding something from me? I gave you everything I have. Why lie? Why?"

I can't think of any possible reason why Iris would text him that way except that they are back together. My heart clenches at the idea formed in my head.

"Did you regret staying with me? Is that why you are cheating behind my back again? Is it because I'm ruined and tainted that you finally came to your senses that you deserve more?"

"I did gave you an option to let go, right? You said you'll stay. But why?"

He stirred a bit and I quickly wiped away my tears and turned back at him in case he wakes up, but what I felt is his strong arms pulling me closer to him. I covered my mouth because I'm crying hard he might hear me.

I felt a soft pair of lips touched mine. I opened my eyes and saw Tae hovering above me. If this was a regular day I would've been happy. But how can I? I know behind those gestures it's all a lie. He's meeting with her.

"Good Morning Jinnie."

"Morning, Tae."

I tried to sound normal but I can't. I feel really bitter about what I know. I'm on the verge of crying while looking at his face.

"H-hey why are you crying? Are you okay?" He cupped my face and asked me.

"I'm okay. Don't worry."

"Tell me what's wrong. I'll help you."

"Nothing. Just get off of me. I can't breathe."

He moved away from me and stood beside the bed. He was about to say something when his phone rang. He grabbed his phone and looked at me, he walked away from our room to answer the call.

"He never did that." I know already who called. He has no reason to walk out of our room except if it's Iris he'll be talking to.

I did not bother to stand up or do anything. I'm waiting for Taehyung to come back and he's taking too long to come back. It's already 7:45 am. He'll be leaving in a short while. They'll see each other again.

My train of thoughts was cut off when he entered our room. He seemed to be in a rush as he picked what clothes to wear, and when he is done he started his usual routine, removed the bracelet I gave him and went to shower. At 8:30 he finished taking a bath and changed clothes. At 8:45 he's all set. He must be too excited to leave that he forgot to wear the bracelet and to even say goodbye to me.

Just because I didn't asked him where he's going he didn't even bothered telling me that he is leaving while I'm here in our bed watching him. I locked myself in our room and I didn't leave. Jimin, Jungkook and Yoongi knocked on my door and asked me to come out but I refused. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I also haven't eaten yet. I don't have the appetite to eat anything.

I fell asleep for a couple of times and it's already nighttime. I looked at the clock and it's 10pm. Taehyung hasn't returned yet and god knows what they are doing right now.

11pm. Still not home. I didn't even got a text that he'll be late or something. He didn't even think that I'll be worried.

12 midnight. The knob of our door twisted and I know he's home. He was shocked to see me still awake.

"Why are you still awake?"

"I waited for you."

He went near me and planted a kiss on my forehead. I can smell a woman's perfume in him. He smells disgusting.

"Where did you go?" I really did try to supress my emotions and I was surprised that I'm succeeding.

"Just took care of some important business." Important business my ass!

"Is it too important that you forgot to tell me you're leaving or texted me that you'll be home late?"

His eyes widened and he sat beside me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

I didn't answered him and I just nodded my head. He sighed and his phone rang. He got a message. He turned to me sideways and I looked closely at him and I saw something enough to be an evidence that he's with another woman and not taking care of some business as he called it. He has a lipstick mark on his shirt near his collar. It's to sheer to be noticed but it's still visible.

I touched that part of his shirt and tears started to fall. I laid down on the bed and laid my my stomach burying my face on the pillows hiding away from him.

One more proof, Tae. I'll let you go.
