Elites of Seoul | Taejin ✔️

Uprooted

Seokjin's Pov:

"What do you mean if I am crazy? Don't you want your daughter in your life?" Taehyung looked at me, confused as I couldn't restrain my tears and my emotions. He was speaking about things he had no idea about.

Whoever investigated things for him had totally misinformed him. "Taehyung, where did you get this information from?"

"Does it matter where I got it from? You gave birth to a little girl five years ago, and you gave her up for adoption, or you placed her in an orphanage one of the two happened. I haven't been able to figure it out as of yet. She is not with you, so it means you gave her away. Your parents don't speak about her, either." He really thinks he knows everything!

"It does matter where you got it from! Because you have been misinformed. She was never adopted, nor was she ever placed in an orphanage. You went drilling into my life without knowing anything! Why would my parents speak to you about her anyway?" And just like that, I was mad at him all over again, why was he doing this to me. It was one thing to investigate and bring up Jungkook, but this was taking it too far now.

Even though we were married, I do believe I have a right to have somethings remain in the past. It had nothing to do with him then, and it sure as hell don't have anything to do with him now.

He got up and stood over me, "So if I am misinformed, why don't you tell me then where she is?"

"Because she was a stillbirth! She's dead, Taehyung. My daughter died a week before my expected due date. Is there anything else you would like to ask me and not assume from your so-called investigation?"

Taehyung looked at me in shock, "J-Jin, I didn't know."

"How could you know? Did you ask me or did you ask your "investigators?'" I wiped away my tears and looked away from him. I can't believe he had dig so deep into my life. It's like I had no secret; he went and uprooted everything!

He pulled me up and wrapped his arms around me, "Jin, I am sorry." He whispered as he rubbed my back. Lean my head into his shoulders and cried my eyes out. I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment.

"W-why are you doing this me? Why do you keep waking up every painful memory I have? What is it you are looking for, are you trying to hurt me all over again?"

"Baby no, I-I am sorry. I am trying to avoid us having secrets between one another. I didn't know something like this existed in your life. Trust me, Jin, I don't want to see you in pain. I am still trying to figure us out and break down the walls that are separating you from accepting me as your husband." He rubs his nose against my head and kisses me on the forehead, "I don't want to see you crying every day, can you believe me when I tell you this?"

"Can you stop digging into my past and ask me what it is you want to know? I don't live in my past anymore, Taehyung, and I want to leave it where it is. It's painful there, I don't want to go back there."

"I didn't know Jin. This is why I want us to talk more. I don't ever want the media to find out something about your life that I know nothing about. If they dig things like this up Jin, they will make your life miserable, and I don't know how many times I can express to you that this is the last thing I want for you. The media can make you go crazy. I want you to be safe at all times. As your husband, I want to protect you, but I can only do so if you lower your walls and trust me. I can even make your past disappear in the snap of a finger if you only trust me to tell me everything."

I pulled away from him and wiped away the tears, "I-I will trust you, Taehyung. I just don't like the way you handle things sometimes. What do you want to know that you don't already know?"

Taehyung looked down for a moment and then back at me, "Who was the father?"

"S-someone, you don't know."

"It's not Jungkook?" Of course, he would think it was Jungkook. Everyone who knew about Jungkook and I back then thought the same as well.

"N-No, it's not him."

"Then why did his parents offer you money?"

"B-because....w-well it was because they wanted me to leave him. I got pregnant after he left. I became reckless with my life and did somethings I shouldn't have. After getting pregnant, I tried changing my life around, but I guess life was not so forgiving to me, s-so I lost her." I still remember the day as if it was yesterday.

"But I don't understand. There are no records in the hospital that she died?" I couldn't help but glare at him. He really had gone investigating everything.

"Taehyung, my brother is a doctor. T-there is a reason why he's practicing medicine in the U.S. and not in our hometown."

"Interesting. So, can you tell me who the father was?" Of course, he wasn't going to let it go.

"No." I watch as his face turns to anger, but his expression quickly changed back as he closed his eyes and breathed out.

"Why not?"

"I don't know him."

Taehyung closes the gap between him and me and stared into my eyes. "Seokjin?"

"Y-yes Taehyung?"

"Are you telling me the truth?"

"I-I am. I-it was a one night stand."

"And this the truth?"

"Do you believe there is some other truth?"

"You don't strike me as someone reckless, Seokjin. I had to wait months before you would sleep with me, and you are telling me that you had a one night stand with someone you do not know and got pregnant for them?"

"Hence, the reason why I made you wait before sleeping with you. I learned my lesson."

Taehyung bit into his lower lip and sighed heavily, "Okay. I won't push anymore, but know this. If I ever find out you lied to me today, you will forever regret it."

"A-are you threatening me?"

"I like to more think of it as a warning, but since you are telling me the truth, there is nothing for you to worry about, now is there?"
