Elites of Seoul | Taejin ✔️

Truth Hurts

Please be seated and enjoy the journey ahead.

Seokjin's Pov:

"You are awake. Just in time for dinner." I ease myself up from the bed to see Taehyung standing in front of me with a bag in his hand. "I figured that since today has been a lot on you. You would prefer some comfort food as opposed to the food our hotel makes."

"I am not staying here with you. Did you really think I would want to have dinner with you after what you did? How dare you do that in front of my parents?! You don't ever stop, do you?" Was he seriously expecting me to be okay with what he had done? He ripped through apart of my life that I worked extremely hard to keep buried and shared it with my parents as if it was his own secret.

Taehyung drops the bag in his hand onto the floor. "Seokjin, I really want you to try and walk out of this room. You have some nerve yelling at me as if I did something wrong! I have been nothing but the best husband to you, and all you have done is lie to me and keep secrets away from me. Then every time you want to act as if something is wrong with me! Are you fucking serious?" Taehyung screamed at me and walked over towards the side of the bed that I was on. I don't think I had ever seen in so upset since the time I had known him.

"You told me she died! Your own fucking child, you lied about her birth from your husband. Do you not see a problem with this? Since we have been married, I have caught you in a countless amount of lies, but then you make me out to be this insane monster! How can I ever trust you?

Do you even care about me? Is there any part of you that actually loves me, or are you only using me to get back to Jungkook? So you, him, and Iseul can become the perfect family? I rather you be honest with me now, so I know where I stand in this. I love you, and I am willing to fight all battles with you, but I refuse to fight a losing battle. So, instead of fucking around, tell me, be real with me. Was your vows to me some bullshit, or did you actually mean them?"

I stayed silent as tears rolled down my face, he was right about a lot of things, but he didn't understand, no one did.

"Taehyung, how did you find out about Iseul?" This was my biggest concern and worry. If he knew about her, who else knew about her.

I jumped to the other side of the bed when Taehyung out of nowhere flipped over the nightstand that was beside the bed. "You are fucking with me. Is that what really matters to you right now? You are not worried about how this is affecting, but more so about how I found out? Did you suddenly hit your head and forgot who you are married to?"

"I am sorry. Taehyung, I really am. I know you might not believe me, but I really wanted to tell you about Iseul before we got married, I did. I had every intention of introducing you to her. She was my little secret that I thought I could share her with you. I really thought that I could take her from Namjoon and raise her with you, at one point, believe me, I had that thought, but that was before I found out Jungkook was your best friend. After finding out you guys were so close, I couldn't-"

"Couldn't what tell me because you were afraid Jungkook would know? Let me enlighten you Seokjin, Jungkook knows about Iseul. She is no secret to him, so I am not sure wh-"

"No, he can't, he doesn't. He didn't even know I was pregnant." My entire body was feeling weak, and I was struggling to breathe. There was no way Jungkook knows about Iseul.

"What's the big fucking deal if he knows about her? It's his daughter, doesn't he have the right to know? So what if his parents paid you to abort her and you didn't. Did you sign a fucking agreement with them or something? I don't understand why you would put our marriage at risk for something as stupid as this? Do you think I would've left you if you told me you had a child? Seokjin, I didn't marry you for no other reason than the fact that I fucking love and care about you. But, I really don't know how much more of this I can deal with. I can't take the lies, I can't. How can I defend you to the world if you keep lying to me? You are making me crazy!"

Watching Taehyung slip down onto the floor as he began to cry, broke my heart in a million pieces. I was feeling overwhelmed, and I wasn't sure what to do, but I guess I might as well just come clean to him with everything it's not like I have anything more to lose. This might be the end of our marriage anyway.

"I was wrong for lying to you, but this is a mess I created. I didn't want to pull you into it, Taehyung. I know after this, you are probably not going to want anything to do with me, but just so you can have peace of mind, I will tell you the truth and answer any questions you want me to."

He turns and looks at me, "No more lies, Seokjin."

"No, I promise you wholeheartedly I won't tell you any more lies. I will tell you anything you want to know."

"Okay, talk to me, tell me why did you lie to me about her being a stillbirth. I think out of everything, this is the one thing that bothers me the most."

I look up to the ceiling to try and stop the tears from falling. Allowing myself to breathe in and out as I try to bring myself to tell him the truth. My legs were shaking, I didn't know if I could do it. No one else knew what I wanted to say to him, not even my own brother, who was making one of the biggest sacrifices when it comes to keeping my secret.

"Iseul is not Jungkook's daughter Taehyung. I d-didn't lie to you about that."

"That's bullshit Jin. I have seen pictures of her, she looks exactly like him! I thought you said no more lies." He got up off the floor and hovered over me with his hands clenched together.

"I-I know, but that's because she is his f-father's child. Mr. Jeon is Iseul's father, not Jungkook."

Taehyung dropped himself onto the bed and looked at me in disbelief, "Y-you are lying!"
