Daddy's Home (KNJ au)

Ch. 6

What do you do? What do you do when your employer is cheating on their significant other? I've lost my damn appetite at this point. I'm so sick, it makes me want to cry. What did Namjoon do to deserve this? He would give Jiwon the word; all she would have to do is say so. I look at the pictures again in my phone, trying to convince myself that these aren't real. I'm trying to convince myself that an amazing person like Kim Namjoon is not getting his heart stepped on. I'm trying, and I'm failing.

"Fuck this shit." I throw my hood on and get out of my car.

I walk up to the restaurant with my head down, as to not be seen by Jiwon. She didn't even look at when we were at her home, so she has no idea what I'm wearing, thankfully. All I need to do is keep my head down so she doesn't see my face. When stepping into the building, there's a sign standing that informs customers to sit anywhere they'd like. I carefully scan the place and spot the two. They're in a booth, with an open one behind them.

This is just too good to be true as I walk up to the booth and take my place, my back facing Jiwon and hers facing mine. She's too wrapped in her conversation to look at me and I'm relieved. I breathe a sigh of said relief as I listen in to the conversation they're having. I turn on the voice recorder on my phone and hope that it picks up their voices.

"He had the nerve to call me a bad fucking mother. Can you believe that?" She complains.

"I can't." The man replies. "He's so unappreciative of you. Baby, when are you going to leave him?"

The waiter comes over to me and I quickly ask him for water so that I'm not missing anything being said.

I hear Jiwon sigh before she continues. "I'm going to. I just want to make sure that I'll be getting a cut of half the assets. I want to bring something of my own to the relationship."

"You know I'll take care of you, Ji. You don't need to bring anything. I want this to happen soon. I can't fathom the thought of him still touching you."

I roll my eyes at this asshole. You're sleeping with a married woman, knowing that she's married. You sleazy bastard.

"We haven't slept together in like 3 months or something like that." She says so nonchalantly.

"I guess that means that you are carrying my baby, huh?"

I choke on the water that the waiter brought me, trying to catch myself before it messes up any audio.

"Yes, Theo. This baby is yours. I'm going to leave him before he finds out. And we can start our lives finally."

"Finally after 4 long years, almost 5. When you got pregnant with your son, it broke my heart. We were supposed to have our family."

"Theo," Jiwon starts. "Jae-sun might be yours."

I can't do it anymore. I grab my phone and quickly bolt out of the restaurant. I'm fuming. Jiwon has not only been cheating on Namjoon for years, but now Jae might not be his son? What kind of sinister person is Jiwon? How could she do this? Now, I have all this evidence against her and I have no idea what I want to do. I have to tell Namjoon about this. I need to tell Namjoon. But this is not my place. It's Jiwon's. And she needs to tell him sooner rather than later.

I take a deep breathe as I'm in my car, still not able to control my thoughts and feelings. It isn't until I stop thinking to myself that I realize I'm back in front of the Kim's home. "Dammit."

I'm not going to tell Namjoon yet. No, I want to see if Jiwon will tell him. She's got a week, and if she says nothing, then I'm telling him myself. Namjoon will be so devastated, but he's got to know before his heart gets broken even more. I spot Jiwon's car making its way into the driveway, and all I can do is scowl. She makes me fucking sick.
