My Daughter's Teacher | Taekook

Doubts

Being able to make a difference in peoples life has always been rewarding for Jungkook, which is why he wanted to become a therapist in the first place. The sense of achievement when he's able to sign off a patient was amazing, seeing how far they've managed to overcome their trauma with his help made him feel as if he was really making a difference in their lives. Sure, the long work days and being away from his family for the majority of the week was difficult, but that didn't make him enjoy his job any less.

But, the one thing that he definitely didn't enjoy was the amount of coffee he needs to drink to keep him awake throughout the day, early mornings and long appointments make it physically impossible for Jungkook to function without it. The coffee shop beside his workplace has always been good to him, never messing up his order and always making coffee that didn't make him want to vomit. It's his little escape place, a chance to get a little well-needed break from work. He loved it, until today.

Today he was met with an encounter he really didn't want, not ever again in his life. He always thought the universe was his friend, on his side most of the time and never really doing anything life shattering to him, but clearly, he was wrong. He was waiting for his order when he felt a tap on his shoulder, and when he turned around he really wishes he just stayed at his office and drunk the disgusting coffee from the waiting room.

"Jungkook, hello." Jihyo smiles, that same smile Jungkook despises with every fibre of his being.

"When you see me why can't you just stay away? We're not friends, Jihyo. I'm on my work break and I'd really rather be chewing on a cotton wool ball then speaking to you." Jungkook sighs, quickly thanking the barista for his coffee before heading to the exit.

"Can we talk? I know you don't owe me anything but I've been wanting to speak to you for a while but I don't have your number... It's a stroke of luck I bumped into you."

"That sounds like you're actually stalking me."

"Please, Jungkook? Five minutes, that's all I need."

Jungkook sighs, he knows he shouldn't give this woman even a second of his time but something inside him wants to know what she so badly needs to talk to him about. With a groan he follows her to a table, sitting down and staring at the woman as he waits to hear whatever she needs to say.

"I know all these years I've been a bitch, and I honestly don't want you to forgive me for that. But I have my own family now, I had a baby a couple of months ago with my husband and I really couldn't be happier. The timing was better than it was before and I'm in love with the guy I had my baby with so I can really step up and be a mother. All the things I said about Asani before-"

"Asami." Jungkook corrects bluntly.

"I'm sorry. All the things I've said about Asami I really do apologise for, and again I don't expect you to forgive me. Ever since I've had this baby there's this one thing that's been eating away at me, something that no-one else knows but me and It's killing me to not be able to tell you. So, I have to." Jihyo says nervously, her nails tapping against the top of the table, only adding to Jungkook's irritation.

"So tell me then, I'm here and I need to get back to work so get to it."

"She might not be yours..."

"What?" Jungkook says, the words not really registering in his brain.

"When we were together I was also seeing your best friend. I lost my virginity to you, that wasn't a lie, but after that when you started getting all weird and distant I just started to look for affection elsewhere. Yugyeom was there for me, he genuinely liked me and made me feel special. He still does actually, he's who I'm married to now."
