《THE FORGOTTEN DAD》CHAPTER 4
Advertisement
"It said here our marriage only lasted for one year. WHAT? Are you serious, Y/N?"
You stared at Jungkook who sat in front of you while still reading all the conditions that you listed. His smile couldn't last for a second since he saw you in his office and now he became speechless when you passed him that file. Before going to his office, you already went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarter, discussing both of you and your child's future later if you are no longer married to Jungkook.
The most important thing is how you gonna protect this baby from him. You were pretty sure that Jungkook will fight you back for the custody of your child for his own good. Definitely, he needs an heir that will continue the JK Group legacy later and you're totally will not be going to let him be like his dad. Not when you are still alive and being able to raise your child alone. Crying in the middle of the press conference? Pfft... You knew he was just faking it up to gain sympathy from his fans.
"I think one year is enough for you to get to know your own child. But I will never let him remember you," you said, relaxingly as if you didn't suffer anxiety a few days ago.
One year is a perfect period for convincing his mother that both of you and Jungkook are already in a good term. If his mom is still alive in that period, then you will find another excuse to divorce him later. This marriage will happen only because of his mom's sake and dignity that seemed getting damaged since Jungkook's behavior went wild.
It's your purpose to set the marriage only for one year because the baby is still small during those times and he won't be able to remember who his dad is. You didn't want your child to know his real father is because it's better to live like that. It's okay, Y/N. You just need to stand for one more year before you could live freely without any threat from him and his fans anymore.
"Why are you so heartless? Our child needs me as his father too!"
"You're the one who heartless, Jungkook. You even tried to kill him on that day and now you want him back?" you sneered, quite a disbelief at what you just heard. Jungkook was claiming his right on your child, the child that he didn't want at first.
You will never forget what happened on that day, the day you both had fought and Jungkook just pushed you down to the floor without any sympathy right in front of Jennie. That was so heartbreaking yet embarrassing when Jennie just gave you a smirk without helping you. Did she ever feel pity when looking at a woman being treated like that by a man? She is also a woman! Guess she's a useless person too like her ex-boyfriend!
"I don't even know that you're pregnant at that time, Y/N." Jungkook seemed already stressed out dealing with you. He was definitely already lost for words. "I'm truly sorry for everything I had done to you before..."
"This baby is better lives without knowing that he has a useless dad like you!"
Your sharp words were like knives, cutting him down and leaving him speechless once again. He looked at you while clenching his jaw. You knew that he tried to hold his anger and avoid not to argue with you because both you and Jungkook knew that it will make the situation worse. He sighed for a moment and focused back on reading the conditions.

"What about the alimony then?" he asked.
"I didn't ask for much. Just 10 million for myself and the baby,"
You decided to make him pay for 10 million once you have been divorced later. Five million for yourself because making your life miserable and another five for your child support. He actually needs to pay it even without marriage, for the five wasting years that you already spent and sacrifices, supporting him and JK Group. You also have rights to his company!
"I'll give you 20,"
You laughed after he graded up the price. Did he ever think it first before saying it?
"Do you think you can afford it? JK Group almost goes bankrupt, Mr. Jeon. Just keep another ten for your own good later,"
"Anyways, it's a win-win deal. Because it looks like I'm the only one who could save your company later, right? You will get your name and company back meanwhile I get to enjoy some of your wealth," said you again while smirking at him.
Yes, you're the one who could clean his name and all the controversy that he already makes. You also awared by marrying him, the investors will take their interest back in JK Group as people will keep their attention on your baby. The child of a famous singer and successful businessman, Jeon Jungkook. The baby might be more celebrity than his own dad later. You can guarantee that people will keep their eyes on your child even before he has been born yet after Jungkook announces the marriage soon.
"I don't care to lose all of my money, Y/N. As long as I don't want to lose you and our baby again,"
"Just keep your playboy sweet talk to other girls, Jungkook. It's not gonna work on me,"
He sighed again. You might seem heartless and merciless right now but it's better than letting him dominate you again. Your love for him was already dead a long time ago since you saw he slept with another woman on your bed. Once a cheater, always a cheater!
He, then, grabbed a pen from his jacket. Did he will gonna sign this agreement? Did he agree to marry you for only one year?
Right before his pen kissed the paper, his mouth said something and made you curious."You said it is a win-win deal, right? So I'm gonna correct something..."
"What is it?"
"If you want to give birth to our baby in Y/C, then first we need to sign up our marriage there too. Both Korea and Y/C. I don't care how long our marriage is, I want everything to be legal... and the second one is our baby also will have dual citizenship. I want him to have both Korea and Y/C nationality. Fair enough, right?" he waited for your response while smirking.
It was quite silent in his room for a minute when you were thinking about his request. You should see this one coming as Jungkook seemed to be serious about anything related to the child. He wants an heir so it means that JK Group needs a legal heir, a Jeon Jungkook bloodline to inherit all his wealth. He wanted this child to be acknowledged as his child on paper.
"Fine! We go with what you wish for. My child will have dual citizenship and once he reached 18, he gets to choose one only and I do not wish my child to associate with monsters like you and JK Group,"
Jungkook smilingly nodded. "Anything can happen in 18 years, Y/N."

Jungkook sent you to the hotel after we both agreed on our deal. Now you already got Jungkook's sign, agreeing with all the conditions that you make and a few additions from him. So whatever will happen later, at least you have proof that will support you and the baby if he suddenly breaks the deal.
You went straight to your room as you were so tired been outside, bringing this 2 pounds baby everywhere for the whole day. You totally need a rest now! As soon you closed the door and turned around, Mark's face was close to you out of sudden. You almost got a heart attack because of him. How did he enter your room?
Are you dumb, Y/N? Of course, he's the CEO of this hotel and has 101 ways to go anywhere he likes in the building. You're almost forgetting that he is a high-class man now. Not Mark who you used to know. Your ex-classmate, Mark.
"Geez, Mark! Why you're in this room?"
He looked at you up and down, feeling dissatisfied. "Well, I'm about to ask you. Where have you been the whole day? I'm trying to call you so many times,"
He followed you behind as you started to walk to the bed. Ah, you really need to lay down and rest your tummy off.
"I went to the ministry building. I thought I already told you about this..."
"It doesn't take that long. Where did you go beside it?"
"Nowhere..."
"LIAR!"
Mark suddenly shouted to you, making you surprised a little bit. This is the second time he raised his voice towards you after you both met again. You looked at him who seemed mad.
"You went to Jungkook's office, right?!"
"Are you spying on me, Mark?!"
Now it's your turn to shout at him back. You knew he sent his bodyguard to watch over you today. You didn't want to tell him about you're going to meet Jungkook because you knew how he gonna react later. Like this! Yelling at you as he owns you.
"Why you went to that bastard's place, huh?"
You quickly passed him the file that contained all the marriage agreements between you and Jungkook. You stared at Mark who frowned as he read the first page.
"MARRIAGE? YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY JUNGKOOK?!"
He shouted at you so loud until the whole level could hear his voice.
"It's only for one year, Mark,"
"Are you stupid?! Did you ever learn your mistake, Y/N?"
"Do you think I also wanted to do this? I just have to!"
If only Mark could understand the reason why you had to do all the whole contract marriage with Jungkook. Your eyes started to fall down, thinking how you gonna face this big problem by yourself. You sat on the bed while lowering your head down. You sobbed quietly.
"It always has choices, Y/N. This is not the only way,"
His voice was softer than a few moments ago. He came kneeling in front of you and lifted up your head by touching your chin.
"It might seem easy to you, Mark. But not for me,"
"I will take the whole responsibility on you, on this baby. So please can you just give up on this marriage?"
You're so surprised when Mark begged you like that. He willingly sacrifices himself as long as you never back to Jungkook again. You knew he loves you so much until now until you had already been pregnant with someone else's child. But marrying him also can't settle these problems. Mark also got a reputation that he needs to take care of. Raymond Hotel and most importantly his parents' dignity.
"I can't Mark! Just let me... please?"
You looked at him who still staring at you. Both of your eyes met him. You quickly stood up and went to the balcony as you can't stand watching him like this. It makes you feel guiltier.
"Jungkook and I will tell the media about our marriage tomorrow..." you said to Mark while watching at the sky.
"Where? I want to follow you,"
"No, you can't. What if the media ask about us? About what happened at the airport yesterday?"
"I just watch it from the far, Y/N. As long as Jungkook not going to make any stupid things on you, I will not disturb it,"
Both you and Jungkook were on the way to the JK Group hall room where he already set up for the press conference. Today, he will announce to the media that you both going to marry and explain everything that happened before between you and Jungkook. He grasped your arms tight when the door was opened. Wah, this man really good at acting, showing this kind of affection in front of the media like nothing happened.
"Y/N-shi, give me your comment about Jungkook's relationship with Jennie?"
The journalist started to ask you a question. You took the microphone in front of you while looking at Jungkook. He gave you the sweetest smile that could melt every girl. A playboy smile!
"Actually, Jennie is a good friend of mine. I asked for her help to cover up my pregnancy because I know this kind of problem will appear one day. Some people can't accept the fact that I was pregnant with Jungkook's child and started attacking me. Please don't blame Jennie because it's not her fault at all,"
Backing up Jennie was the hardest thing to do. Why on earth do you make her such an angel while she actually a bitch who seduced the father of your child! It doesn't make sense at all! But that was one of the agreements that Jungkook put in order to clear his name and company. By telling the media that he's not a playboy that always spent his time at the nightclub. Jungkook suddenly took his microphone on.
"We actually want to tell you guys a piece of happy news. Y/N and I are going to marry soon but we didn't pick any perfect date yet. It's going to be a private wedding, only family, relatives and close friends could attend it. But don't worry, I will provide you an SNS update later for the media and fans,"
"Are you going to get married because of the baby's sake?" One of the journalists began to ask you the expected question. The reason why both of you and Jungkook getting married is because of this child. Well, most of it is true.
When you're about to answer the question, Jungkook faster cuts you off.
"It is such a lie if I deny it. I want the baby will be born with a legal dad by his side. But don't get me wrong. I still love Y/N. I still love her unconditionally and there's nothing that could hold me from loving her until the death separated us..."
You looked at Jungkook who keeps smiling at you. You also need to fake your smile for the sake of the media and just join his act along. But then you saw Mark at the back, watching the whole drama. He looked disappointed.
"What about your relationship with Mark? We saw he hugged your shoulder like you guys are so close,"
"Well about Mark..."
"My relationship with Y/N?"
Mark suddenly voiced out from the back. He smirked while walking to the front, to Jungkook and you. The journalists and cameramen started aiming at him, surprised by his sudden move. He took the microphone from you before giving you a wink. Oh my god! What Mark will be telling to the media soon?!
"The truth is... I'm the father of this baby..."
