♡Chapter~89

Jungkook narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him. It had been a few days since the arrest and police had also found the two other guys involved in your sexual harrasment.

Minhyuk was seated on the sofa in front of him as your husband continued to stare at him with a dead expression. You could feel the tension in the atmosphere and wondered whether jungkook was calm or was going to snap any second.

"I-I'm sorry."

Jungkook raised his eyebrows in amusement staring at the older. "Oh you are?" Minhyuk sighed and looked away. "I know you might not even forgive me for the things I did. And that's understandable no one would ever do. But I regret all the decisions I made before. I know I not a great father but I want to apologize."

"You pushed your own son away for a woman you met a few months ago before mom died. You locked me in my room for days for the things I didn't even do. You believed whatever that stray woman said and kicked your own son out of your house. You forced me to marry someone I didn't even know. There were chances of me dying a few days ago. You ruined my life Mr. Minhyuk. I hope you understand the gravity of the situation and the things you are apologizing for."

Jungkook continued. "I tried to improve myself in your eyes even if I was the best in everything I did and yet you kept kicking me away like a wounded dog just because of a bitch." Jungkook clenched his jaw.

Jang-mi was the daughter of minhyuk's business partner years ago. When jang-mi began feeling some sort of attraction towards the elder man, she tried to gain a soft spot for her. And once she was far enough, the siblings killed Eunhee and jang-mi replaced her quickly by comforting and caring for minhyuk.

Tears brimmed in the corner of his dad's eyes which stabbed your heart. "I-I know. I'm a bad dad. I know.........but I'll try to be better."

"I think it's too late for that. I've already settled and achieved whatever I can. There's no use for you to give me any parental support because I myself am a father now. And I would absolutely not recreate the mistakes you made. You weren't there when I needed you and I don't need you anymore." The man looked at his son wilth tears slowly slipping down his wrinkled skin.

I don't need you anymore.......

The sentence stabbed the older's heart multiple times.

"F-Father? Y-You are a father?"

"If you weren't a bitch to me you would have known two months ago. Y/n is pregnant."  Minhyuk looks at you with a small smile. "I-I'm a grandfather?"

"I disowned you as my dad, remember that. You are only my company's chairman and mean nothing else to me. Instead of looking after an abused woman who was tortured both physically and mentally, you had bailed that fucker." You sighed and closed your eyes. Yes he was right. You were a bit angry too. But you had got your revenge. You looked at jungkook with a saddened expression.

Was he too insensitive?

You could understand the things he went through........but the older man in front of you was crying. And it hurted you.

He just chose the harsh way to control things in his life.

You took your husband's hand in his and squeezed it gently urging him to stop. Jungkook looked at you with a blank face before gazing back at the old man. "I think we are done here. You've apologised and I'll think about it. But don't get too happy. The adult me would have let it go because he can survive alone. But the child which was locked and casted away in dark wouldn't."

"I know......" The man looked at his feet. "I only wish a good life to you...... even if I don't have a part in it." 

He only wished if he could turn back the gears of time.

You felt yourself tearing up.

"And y/n........I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for blaming you. I can understand how much it would have hurt to be defamed........ I-I just.........commited a lot of mistakes which I can't turn back anymore. You were right.........I should have been a better listener."

You could only watch as jungkook walked him out. He closed the door and stood there gazing at it in silence.

You knew the boy was longing for his father too.

"Jungkook......" You saw him discreetly wiping his eyes before turning around. "Hm?"

"I.........you should go easy on him." He chuckled darkly and looked away. "Do you think I would forgive him so easily? He left me for that shitty woman. Do you even know how scared I was? All alone and beaten up locked in the attic for days when he wasn't home?"

You sighed. "I know.........but he apologized." He looked at you in disbelief. "If kyungsoo apologised to you, would you forgive him?"

"Of course not jungkook.......kyungsoo is an ethically bad person. But on the other hand your dad.....he just commited some brutal mistakes."

"Those mistakes costed my childhood y/n. Only because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants, I had to suffer."

"I know.......but the man is old now. We don't even know how much long he would stay with us. He's broken and alone jungkook."

"I was alone too."

"You were young. You had Jimin to share things with. He isn't. I could see it in his eyes. He regrets everything and just wants his child to call him father ones before he passes away. It's brutal jungkook......trust me.
You are a father too now. Imagine yourself in his place." Jungkook sighed knowing you were true.

"I would never commit mistakes like him. I'll always be better. I would never hurt my child."

"Sometimes you lose yourself jungkook. Sometimes people have no idea about what they are putting themselves into. I know he committed a lot of mistakes.......but you are better right? You can be more sensible."

"The man has no one jungkook, you know it." He saw your eyes watering up. "Don't make it so hard for him. I know you have your reasons but he's just too broken to survive on his own. Even though you don't forgive him, just take care of him. Just relieve him and call him dad. Trust me, it means a lot to him. Be the bigger person."

Jungkook breathed out a huge sigh as he rested his head on your shoulder. "I-I need time......"

"Take as much you want. But don't be too late, you might regret it when the chance is lost forever." Cupping his face, brush his tears off. You tip toe to place a dainty kiss on his forehead.

"You are my strong bunny."

"I-I'm not that strong........" He whispered in your neck. You gently caressed his head. "Don't underestimate yourself. You are the strongest person I know. You are kind, smart, you have your own way to get out of situations. You are sensible, caring....... anything one could wish for. I'm lucky to have you. Whenever I think of you I smile knowing I chose well."

Jungkook chuckled lightly. "You always sugar coat things, don't you?"

"Why would I sugar coat the truth?" The man scoffed. You placed your fingers under his chin to make him look at you. "I'm not forcing you to do anything. This is your choice. I have no say in what what you do with your family. I am only giving you choices. I just don't want you to regret. I would be lying I if I say that I understand what you are going through. Because I simply can't contemplate what you went through. I had a good life, you didn't. I just.........don't want you taking any harsh decisions which you might worry about later."

Jungkook nodded. "I understand."

"Think about it. Okay? It's your decision in the end."

"Let's sleep." You chuckled. "It's eleven in the morning."

"Sunday."

"And?" You raised your eyebrows.

"Let me just remain blank for a while."

"Alright."
