If you are waiting for the perfect spouse, you are waiting for the perfect disappointment.

45.

Jungkook writhed on the sheets. He could feel the soft texture of sheets on himself. But as soon as he gained his consciousness his head hammered against its walls. It was throbbing at a speed higer than his hearbeat. He groaned as he held his head in his hands as he Kay down. Fuck! I need to get up and find some medicine. He sat up and felt dizzy. Why wouldn't the world fucking stop spinning? He thought. What the fuck happened? Was I in an accident?

Jungkook got up from the bed and went to the medicine cabinet and pooped three advils. Fuck! Yes, he remembered now. He had gotten drunk. Yes, Tae had gotten half his management to resign. Fuck! Shit! They had fought. He had gotten hammered. He could recall the slutty eyes of the waitress still on him. Fuck!

He couldn't help but actually throw up as the memories of what had happened came back to him. He heaved and hurled clutching the toilet seat. There was not much anyway to throw up. He hadn't eaten properly since... What what is the time? For how long did I pass out? Kook thought. He sat on the floor. The cold floor felt good. After kook was sure, he wouldn't throw up more he pulled the shower head to where he was sitting and put it on his face. Hoping to God, he would feel better and not like a crane had run over him.

As he was on it, he also put some water in his hair and rubbed his hand through his hair. He felt hot. His body was hot. He could still feel he was high. The alcohol hadn't all left his system yet. Slowly, he gripped the basin and stood up and walked to his bed.

Wait! How did I reach here? Wasn't I sleeping on the road side? Tae's side of the bed was still untouched. He checked the time. It was 11.40 in the night. Made sense. He had started drinking at 11 in the morning. He might have drank till 5 or 6. And then, here he was. Facing Tae was the last thing he wanted to do. He felt horrible. But that was because of liquor and not because of the fight. Kook knew he was right. Tae had no reason to interfere in the company the way he did. He just proved that he didn't trust him. Kook sat on the bed and took his head in his hands.

He heard the door click. 'Oh my god! You are awake? Are you okay?' He heard Tae immediately come to his side and ask him. Touching his forehead.

Kook shrugged away from his touch. He saw Tae's expression change into that of hurt. Kook felt bad but he was angry right now.

'How did you find me?' Kook asked angrily.

'There was a tracking-' Before Tae could complete the sentence. Kook shouted, 'Are you serious Kim Taehyung?'

'Baby no you are misunderstanding.' Tae started saying.

But Kook was quick to cut him off again, 'Really? Then tell me how do you justify fucking putting a tracking device on your husband? Tell me is it in my watch? Or did you hack my phone this time? Tell me who did you fire to find me Tae? Wait did you put a tracking device in my ring?' Kook started hyperventilating. But as soon as the last sentence left his mouth l, he saw Tae's face change from shock to hurt to pleading to almost tears. He saw Tae wanting to speak something. He heard him clear his throat and say, 'I think we should talk tomorrow baby. You are tired.'

Kook knew he shouldn't have said the last sentence. He had been too harsh. Yes, Tae was wrong on so many levels and he was angry but the hurt on his face told him that at least the tracker was not in his ring. And still Tae was so calm. If he shouted at him, he would feel better.

Ahh! All of this was mess. His head was hurting. He was so angry. And he had gotten more reasons to be angry but why was Tae's face haunting him.

He couldn't be in this room. He needed space to figure out his feelings.

'I am going to Joonie hyung.' Kook said and took his car keys.

Tae sighed and rubbed his face.

'Please take the driver. You still have alcohol in your system.' Tae said pleading.

'Whatever' Kook said irritated to the core. Why was Tae pleading? Why wasn't he saying that Kook was wrong. Why wasn't he saying that he was not the reason half his management had resigned? Why was he not saying he didn't track him? Kook kept getting more and more angry till he slammed his door and woke up the driver to escort him to Joon's house. Kook noticed that he was in his lower and shirt. Tae must have changed him. Whatever, he thought letting anger taking the best of him.

'Can't you see the road is empty? Can you drive fast? I want to reach there tonight. Not tomorrow.' Kook shouted at the driver. Why was everyone hell bent on making him mad today. He looked out as he crossed the Han river. He could remember the night Tae had proposed to him on the banks of the same river.

Unknowingly, tears started leaking from the side of his eyes.

'We are here sir.' kook heard the driver say.

He noticed the scenery around him had changed. He hadn't realised he had reached. He has been so engrossed in his pain. He got out and asked the driver to go home.

He went and rang the bell. When no one replied he rang it again. As soon as Jin opened the door and saw Kook, he was shocked.

He hugged him, 'Baby what's wrong?' Jin hyung said as he hugged him and dragged him inside.

Before he knew Jin was dragging him to his bed and lay him down. He laid him down on the bed. And hugged him tightly, 'Baby what happened? Won't my Kookie tell his hyung what happened?'

Kook couldn't handle the love and care that Jin was giving him, 'Jinnie' a strangled cry left his mouth.

'Jinnie.' Kook kept saying and hugging the elder tighter.

In other side of the city, another man cried himself to sleep, all alone..the other side of his bed crumpled and empty.
