The Truth Untold || KTH ✔

Chapter 20

"Taehyungie, Y/n; this is Mrs. Jung." We bowed to the lady.

"Mrs. Jung; this is Taehyung, my son. And Y/n, my daughter-in-law."

"WHAT?!" we almost yelled.

Did I miss something???

"Hahaha... Look, how they are still shy over their marriage." Mrs. Kim chimed, looking at us nervously. I understood what she wants us to do.

"I'm sorry, Eomma." I smiled nervously before bowing at her.

Taehyung's eyebrows jumped as he looked at me in confusion, probably thinking why I went along with his mom.

I looked up at him and gave an awkward smile, trying to request him to keep patience, at least for now. I'm sure Mrs. Kim has her reasons behind this.

"You both look perfect together." Mrs. Jung complimented us while giving a huge smile, radiating the brightness of the sun. Why does her smile look so familiar?

"Mrs. Kim, I expect they will be attending the party too." Mrs. Jung said with hope in her words.

"O-of course! They will." Mrs. Kim responded.

"It's getting late. I'll have to take my leave now." The lady said looking at her wristwatch.

They got up and hugged each other. Mrs. Jung stopped her steps when she came in front of us. Smiling again, she took my hands on her, holding it gently.

"Y/n, you know, you remind me of my sister. Seeing you here, I feel like I'm seeing my sister standing in front of me. I haven't seen her in years. I really miss her." she smiled, patting my shoulder before looking over at Taehyung.

"Take good care of her, Taehyung." Taehyung smiled but it turned into a blush, immediately. "Aigoo~ you both are too cute. I'll be looking forward to meeting you both again." she said while giggling.

Mrs. Kim went to escort Mrs. Jung to her car that was waiting outside the house. I quickly took the advantage to speak to Taehyung.

"I'm sorry, Taehyung. I know it was wrong to go along with your mom but I believe she must have her reasons for this. I think we should wait until she comes back and explains everything herself." I explained my thoughts.

"No, Y/n. I should be the one to say sorry to you. My mom dragged you into some kind of a mess, without even asking for your consent." he said and sighed.

"Tae, I am happy to help her, if she needs me."

"Thank you so much, Y/n. But the one who should actually apologize is me." Mrs. Kim said while coming towards us. "I'm really sorry kids. I dragged you both in this mess which I created myself." she apologized.

She told us to sit on the couch and continued after we did.

"Mrs. Jung came into a contract with our company, a few months ago. Once, we invited her to our house for a friendly dinner. She wanted to meet every member of our family. At that time, Taehyung was the only one, who was not here due to his work. So, I showed her a few of his pictures. She liked Taehyung and started asking about him. She proposed the idea of making him her son-in-law and that's where this lie began from."

I looked at her in shock and so did Taehyung.

She sighed.

"Along with those, was one, that was taken with you and your friends when you all visited Taehyung's house, during your high school days. Pointing at your photo, she asked about you, y/n." I looked at her in confusion. She pursed her lips before continuing.

"I knew Taehyung wouldn't like the idea of marring any other girl. And I respect his choices. So I told her that you are taehyung's wife. I thought she will never pick up this topic again, but surprisingly, she got really excited. She desperately wanted to meet you. She told me that you remind her of her sister." Mrs. Kim explained everything with detail as to why she had to lie to Mrs. Jung, about me being her Son's wife.

"I'm really sorry Y/n. I should have asked you about it first. But then, when I saw you both today at the restaurant, I got some relief that this lie will eventually come true. I didn't even get the time to explain everything to you. Please forgive me, Y/n."

"No no, Mrs. Kim, it's-"

"Eomma~"

I chuckled, "Ne, eomma~" she smiled. "You don't need to say sorry. But the truth is that I am not dating Taehyung."

"Nonsense~" she scoffed. "You both are made for each other. Are you both blind? Well, at least Taehyung loves you-" Taehyung chocked on the glass of water which he was drinking.

I started patting his back quickly. "Are you okay? You shouldn't hurry while drinking water." I kept patting his back while he recovered from his state. Little did I know, someone was smirking while looking at us.

"Ah! ne, Eomma~ Mrs. Jung was talking about a party, right? " he asked, slowly sitting up straight again.

"Yes, Mrs. Jung is holding a party for her marriage anniversary tomorrow." she replied. "She asked you both to come along with me."

I nodded, understandingly.

"Will you come with us Y/n? I understand if you don't want to go along with this lie. But think about Taehyung. Do you want him to marry a girl whom he doesn't even know?" Mrs. Kim suddenly looked at me with pleading eyes, as if she was trying to persuade me to do something.

"Don't worry, eomma. I'll come with you tomorrow. But eomma, he didn't even saw her yet. What if he actually falls in love with her after they start to know each other?" I tried to resonate.

"Pfft... I know this dummy won't fall for any other girl."

"Any... Other.. Girl? Is he already in love with someone?"

"OMG! You both are dating but you still don't know that-" Mrs. Kim couldn't complete her sentence because of her son, who interrupted her in between.

"THAT- THat it's getting late. S-So... I think we should leave now." he stuttered before grabbing my wrist, ready to leave from the spot.

"Wait- Y/n, why don't you stay here tonight. We can go to the party together tomorrow." she suggested. "It's pretty late already. Please, stay the night. We need to catch up to a lot of things."

I looked up at Taehyung and then back to his mom. I sighed.

"Okay." I gave in.
