Taehyung paced back and forth, chewing the edge of his fingernails before you walk in the living room with a jar of ice cream on your hands. You smiled at your husband's mannerisms thinking he was so cute when he's somewhat nervous.

"What's wrong honey?" You ask mindfully.

He didn't hear you; he was in deep thought on how he will be able to explain everything that happened in these past months in just a few minutes. He couldn't believe it's happening. He will actually tell you and he doesn't know what would be your reaction. He predicted you would cry. And there was a high chance you wouldn't be angry at him but to feel sorry for him. You were clueless for him to sneak and lay with another woman. That's one hint he didn't like about himself neither this marriage. He married someone so loyal with such belief that she trusted a man who was full of filth in the inside.

He knew about the problems in a newly wedded couple. And he ought to stop going back to her when you bored him. He ponders every morning by the table across you. He never talks about anything but to check on his phone for a distraction and judge himself on what kind of husband he was to you. You underwent through many lonely times and he knew his wife would wait for him by his bed, desperate need of cuddles. But he didn't do it. He was afraid his filth can overtake your advantage and fool you like child.

At the back his mind, he always changes his moods and notices the erroneous things to fall in your arms again. He realizes why he comes back to you. He loves his wife more than his mistress. He had chosen treasure over pleasure. He cherishes his treasure because vows are meant to be kept like promises. And he promised you to be a loving husband and he will have to continue loving you til' death. Thus, he will face everything to you; even if it hurts you.

"Y/N." He spoke firm and unwavering. He turns his head to you as you tilt your head before sitting on the couch.

"Hmm?" You say, eating the last scoop chocolate ice cream with a piece of banana and strawberry. He beams at you while sitting next to you, leaving a few inches away. As soon as you were done, he places down the empty jar and faces you. He wipes the excess from your mouth with a towel, taking a deep breath.

You smile with concern. "What's the matter with you?"

"I love my wife, that's all." He says.

Your heart races, you haven't felt this way in a long time. "I love you too." You say back. "But seriously, what's wrong? You've been acting a little weird."

"What makes you say that?" He lifts a brow.

You pointed at the bags from Gucci with a receipt popping out. "You bought these for almost a billion." He chuckles before patting your head.

"That's for our babies." His hand pets your bump. "Plus, Namjoon can pay for all of that."

"Are you sure?" You ask.

"Listen," He cups your cheeks with both hands. "You don't have to worry about these things. That's for a dad to worry about. Your job is to deliver these babies to the world and create a family that we've always wanted." You always took his phrases positive. It was another thing he loves about you but never notices it.

Suddenly, his smile turned sad. "Y/N."

You smile calmly. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry." His eyes began to swell. "I'm sorry for not keeping my promise."

"What do you mean?"

"For loving you as a husband should do." He let of go his hands. "These months..I've always come home late, always skipping breakfast, ignoring you when you need your good morning kiss and good night cuddles."

He knew about that too. You thought.

"I've been ignoring you for as long as I remember you needed me. I didn't attend the appointments that I scheduled. I even made you wait all day through out Christmas." His eyes couldn't lock with yours. He already felt punished after feeling a presence of torture. He didn't have the right to look to the woman he loves.

"The cause of this was..I-" His lips hesitated before parting again. "The cause of all this was because I-" His mouth was ready to say it but he couldn't. His self-esteem was building to the point he will never say it.

"Because you cheated on me." His eyes widen as he looked up, trying to search for your eyes. His heart broke a million times, seeing your eyes full of tears but your smile was still there. "Is that what you were going to say?" You ask shyly.

He nodded, before his face can't play the loving husband act anymore. His eyes shed tears in front of her. It was more than you thought. You felt his heart broke when you said it for him. "I'm sorry!" He cried. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you!" His head collapse on his hands.

"No no no, it's okay honey." You try to beam but deep down you were hurting as much as him. You untangle his head from his hands, and held onto him. But he let go of you.

"I don't deserve this..I don't deserve you." You reached your hand over to his cheeks. He couldn't look at you and it wounds you.

You cupped his hands before saying, "And my husband doesn't deserve to cry when apologizing." His eyes full of redness and tears gazes at you. "I'm sorry." You say as your hands tremble departing from his face. "I'm sorry for being an awful wife."

"No no, baby you were the best wife that I had. You are the only wife I will ever have. It wasn't your fault, it was mine. I shouldn't have cheated on you." You whimper before covering your face with your hands. "A-And if you d-don't want me from your sight, I can leave and file divorce papers-"

You shook head, signing that he should stop talking. "I know it was hard for you. And you have your reasons to stray behind me." You lift your head and smile. "But I don't want the man I love parting from me. I don't want my kids growing up without a father." Taehyung never thought of that. He only thought of the consequences towards himself. He didn't know the upshot of his kids neither the feelings of his wife. He was really a stuck-up.

"Did you remember what my promise was to you?" She sniffs.

He gather his strength to hold his beloved wife's hand. "What is it?"

"'I promise to love you even if situations are turned back on us. I promised to create a family that you always wanted. You're always gullible to notice things that I say about you. That's why I love you so much.'" She cups one of his cheeks. "You see? I can't let you leave the front door when I know how much you love me as much as I love you." He held your hand from his cheek.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry for hurting you like this." You reached over to him and crash your wet lips against his. You haven't felt this soft lips in a long time. And now you're tasting them, you enjoy why you love him even if it has been kissed from another woman. It took him a bit of time to kiss you back, trailing his hand to your cheeks as your hands go behind his neck, relishing the soft locks of his hair.

You both pulled away with a mixed breath of mint rose and chocolate ice cream. "I love you, Y/N." He say proudly.

"I love you more, Taehyung." You smile once again at him. He returns a smile back with an expected kiss. "This is the reason why I love you." You say as Taehyung's smile wasn't sad anymore. You both were in agreement and compromised. Taehyung's punishment felt it was lifted. The pain, the guilt wasn't there anymore. What he did was a mistake he can forget but he cannot forget the moment where his wife forgave him and wanted a chance to start over. He chose his treasure over his pleasure. And any man can do that but doesn't have the courage to speak up. Taehyung was grateful to have a wife like you. He understands now the point of his marriage; and he will lovingly spent his entire day and night with you. Every second. Every minute. Every hour. He loves you, and you love him. A love that can last til' death parts them.

3 Days Later

"Babe!" You jolted, spilling a bit of popcorn on the floor. Taehyung sighs and bends down to pick it up. Taehyung finally catches your attention. You were lost in thought, when a grumble sound interrupted you. You remembered the jiffs in this couch when it was full of tears and sorrow now. But seeing it now, this couch was another place to cuddle and laugh.

He signals you to come at his side, wanting a cuddle from you. You excitedly rush your heavy bum towards him, laying yourself in front as he turns on the TV and turns it to Netflix.

"What drama should we watch now?" Taehyung asks while clustering his legs to yours.

"There's a new drama called 'Crash Landing On You'. Let's watch that if you're fine with it?" You ask.

"Anything is fine with me as long as I don't cry again." You chuckle before he presses the play button. The loading screen was taking long, which had the opportunity for Taehyung to question.

"Question." He asks.

"Hmm?" You responded.

He reaches his over to your bump, covering both sides of your tummy. He whispers, "How'd you know about I cheated on you?"

You smile before recalling. "There's was a baby monitor in the living room in Jungkook's house and I guess I heard your voice and Jungkook's too."

"Jungkook, you motherfucker." You frown, hearing those words coming from his mouth.

~~

Jungkook suddenly sneezes turning to the right, away from the chopped carrots. "Are you allergic to carrots, Jungkook?" His wife asks before pulling out mashed potatoes from the oven.

"I don't know." He sniffs. "My nose just began to feel stuffy." He continued to chop, making dinner for the rest of the family.

~~

"How many times do I have to say not to swear in the house!" You try to raise your voice but for Taehyung you were too cute to resist. Heat flushed towards your cheeks.

"How is my baby so cute when she's angry?" He cuddles you like a child till the episode was starting.

"Okay, okay. Shh! Let's watch."

These past months were in misery for both of them. One was lonely, one was guilty. But both knew deep down they loved each other to one's known will in making up these brief moments in loss of time.

He loved her. And she loved him. And that's all they needed to know.

I know ya'll hate Tae in this book but men are men 😅 Just to remind you, this is a real person whom I've portrayed and wrote for. You can blame him but you can't do anything to change it.

Epilogue is coming!
