The decorated hall filled with numerous guest was pin drop silent at the moment. Everyone was eager to witness some family drama because people likes gossips, specially if it involves any influential elites.

Taehyung didn't know what else to expect now. He wasn't ready to see the disappointment in his parent's eyes. Jongin exposed him in front of so many people, his pure relationship with jungkook was twisted like they did some severe sin by just loving each other. The way jongin portrayed the information, it felt like taehyung was involved in some dirty deeds, and that fact was making him furious would be an understatement.

Jungkook was literally huffing out of anger. All these pictures are secured in his cloud account and not a single soul other than taehyung knew about his password, this simply means Jongin not only invaded their privacy but stoop as low as hacking his account.

Hyunbin and yejin was staring at the screen with wide bewildered eyes. They couldn't believe taehyung could betray them like that. According to them, taehyung made a fool out of them, just to marry the one he wanted, which also means he lied to them.

The jeons didn't know what to say or react, they knew taehyung might face some drama but minho was sure it wouldn't be that bad because they were married anyway.

Hyunbin turned towards taehyung who gathered some courage to look at his father but regretted when he saw the raw disappointment in those eyes, which held pride just few minutes ago.

"So this is how your so called obedient son is, Dad. He is nothing but a fake who just wanted sympathy", jongin fuelled as he descended down the stairs.

"And what an act I must say.. How they acted like they met for the first time when we went for the dinner.. Wow", somin mocked clapping her hands.

"You were complaining about how I neglected you and what did you do taehyung? You betrayed me and made a fool out of everyone", hyunbin chuckled mockingly but hurt was clearly evident in his voice.

"So this is the reason why Jungkook acted like all perfect and then changed or rather showed his real color soon after marriage", yejin stated whose eyes were glossy but held rage in it.

"Just a minute.. Betrayed? Act? I don't remember my father coming to you with my marriage proposal, it was you who came to my father, willingly", Jungkook's voice echoed in the now silent hall.

"Yes! We loved each other before marriage.. So what? I didn't know loving someone is crime in this country", jungkook exclaimed.

Taehyung was too lost in his own agony that he felt numb, not knowing what to say or how to explain himself.

"You clearly acted like the ideal match, Jungkook.. And soon after marriage you started rebelling against our norms.. You hid your real self from us or else I would have never agreed for the marriage", yejin yelled with equal rage in her voice. She was hurting for the fact that her own son lied to her and it was all just an act.

"Rebelling? Why picking up a single word to show me as the bad one, huh? Why don't you explain the reasons for which I raised my voice for... You literally discriminated among your children.. Treated my husband like an outside.. Never showed any affection to me.. Even denied when I wanted to work..

All you expected from me was to just nod my head like the obedient little puppy at whatever you ask me to do..... So don't even give me this non sense and try to play the victim over here", jungkook yelled his heart out, clearly giving the hint of how the kims treated their in-laws and their own blood.

Minho turned his shocked gaze at shinhye when he head these new information and Yoongi did the same towards jimin. Both kept quite and it was enough for the duo to understand how they were kept in the dark when their little one was suffering.

Now it all made sense, how initially jungkook wanted to model secretly, how he asked to send Jiho for his service, how jungkook would spend more time in jeon mansion, how jungkook stopped wearing outfits if his taste, just how much Jungkook had to endure?

"No matter what, jungkook.. You can't deny the fact that you both betrayed us", hyunbin stated with clear disappointment in his voice.

"Dad.. I didn't mean to lie.. It's just we love each other and I knew no one would accept us, so I couldn't tell you", taehyung mumbled in a shaky voice.

"Mom, dad.. It's okay.. They are married anyway", taeri said taking taehyung's side.

"Yes! By making a fool out of us", yejin mocked shutting her up.

Minho was about to explain the kims and try to calm them down, because what's the point of bring it up anyway. Yes they were hurt but he believes eventually everything will be okay.

But before he could speak anything, the whole crowd gasped seeing few intimate pictures of taehyung and jungkook was shown which was clearly before their marriage. Both were on the bed covered by the duvet kissing and jungkook was the one took the picture. It was from the night they gave each other everything for the first time.

Minho lost it when he saw his technically naked picture of his son was shown in front of huge crowd and the media, he stormed towards the laptop and smashed the device on the ground in rage.

"How fucking dare you?", his voice roared giving chills down everyone's spine. And before he could do anything a hard punch landed on jongin's face by non other than Yoongi.

"You son of a fucking bitch, how dare you to invade my brother's privacy", he continued to punch him untill he was pulled back by hoseok who himself wanted to do the same but he needed to be rational here as yoongi and Minho both were not in their right mind at the moment.

"They literally treated you like a fucking trash and you still stayed in that hell hole?", yoongi yelled at jungkook who got tongue tied.

Minho walked towards the couple and stood in front of them. Taehyung was too ashamed to match his eyes and jungkook was nervous for some reason.

"Dad", jungkook whispered.

"When I agreed to accept both of you, I gave my trust to you taehyung that you will take care of my precious. I never liked your conservative family because those kind of mentality can never bring peace in anyone's life. And knowing my son, he could never adjust. But he did.. Because he loves you..", he spoke in a low yet dangerous voice.

"N-no.. Appa.. Please don't misunderstand-",

"You not only broke my trust but I can pretty much assume how much my son had to compromise or endure.

My Jungkook is strong but I never let anything happen in my sons life where they have to compromise for their happiness.. But he did.. For you", he said clearly numb for understanding anything else, the only thing that was clouding his mind was his baby star had to suffer and compromise against his will.

"Dad please listen-",

"Even today, he was fighting for your relationship..for you.. But like always, being the little obedient puppy you are, standing here like a coward, when your family is humiliation my son for what? Loving you?", he exclaimed with a hint of mock this time and jungkook didn't like the tone minho used for his baby.

Jungkook gritted his teeth as his expression hardened before speaking firmly,

"Dad.. Don't talk to my taehyungie like that-",

"SHUT UP",

For the first time in his 26 years of life, Minho raised his voice at his baby star. Jungkook flinched badly at the loud stern voice as he stared at his father with wide surprised eyes.

"Not. A. Word. Jeon Jungkook", he said sternly leaving no room for any argument. Shinhye and jimin was shocked and yoongi thought it was definitely needed.

"I accepted your relationship for the sake of your happiness but clearly you are hurting yourself and crushing your own self respected by compromising everything.. And mind my words Jungkook.. I am your father and I won't let you ruin your life any longer....

You are coming with me right this instant", he yelled as he grabbed a frozen jungkook's wrist.

Taehyung's eyes widen in utter panic as he shook his head frantically, tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"Appa.. No.. please forgive me.. I will be good to jungkook I promise, please don't take him away from me", taehyung pleaded letting out a chocked sob and seeing him Jungkook's tears rolled down as well.

"If you want my son by your side, then man the fuck up, taehyung", minho gritted out before storming out, dragging a protesting jungkook along with him.

"Dad.. No please don't do this.. Taehyungie.. No..let me go to him, he is crying dad please", jungkook continue to struggle but minho was a lot more stronger, jungkook was looking back at the frozen taehyung while yelling and soon those loud voice got lowered, eventually as Taehyung saw his world going away from him and he couldn't do anything.. Like always.

Yoongi dragged shinhye and jimin with himself who wanted to console taehyung but couldn't.

"I will drag you to the court just wait and watch", yoongi spat glaring at Jongin who was unfazed, before leaving as well.

The hall was silent yet again as no one could speak neither move from their place.

"Tell me something, dad.. Would you have accepted me and jungkook, if I told you the truth?", taehyung spoke with a soft voice eyes still fixed at the door his world was dragged out from.

Hyunbin remained quite understanding what taehyung was saying.

"I pushed jungkook away initially because I didn't want to disappoint you.. I hurt jungkook a lot when all he did was loving me, unconditionally.

I gave in because for once I wanted to be happy.. For once I wanted to be selfish.. For once I want to feel loved..

You and mom was the first person I wanted to introduce jungkook to. But you two would have rejected him straightaway. You wouldn't even give it a second thought.

Yes! Jungkook might not be your ideal choice for a in-law.. But he is ideal for me. He loved me and understood me when no one did.

I still would have married anyone of your choice because jungkook knew from the beginning I am a coward who would never go against his parents.

But in that party, you guys yourself chose jungkook.

Yeah! Jungkook showed up looking like a complete different person which was our plan but, I never voiced out my wants, you were the one who decided everything.

It might be seen as we betrayed you, but think rationally, dad. I would have just married jungkook without anyone's consent and live the house, because the jeons were more than ready to accept me with open arms but I didn't..

But see.. We are back to square one again", taehyung chuckled mockingly.

He turned towards his parents who were speechless again when taehyung's words brought the realization they couldn't grasp, rather got manipulated by the situation again rather than thinking rationally.

"You guys would never....never understand me nor can see my happiness... And today I lost my world", he chucked bitterly before storming out of the hall ignoring all the calls of his name.
