"He what?" Jimin exclaimed over the phone, not caring if people looked at him as he entered the hospital doors. "I'm sorry if I heard it wrong or not, but Taehyung? One of the best people out there, cheated during the month of Y/N?" His eyes were shocked, he wished he could defend that.

"Yes." He heard the younger speaking sadly. "I know it's absurd—"

"Does Y/N know?" Jimin stopped his sentence out of his concerns. All he could think was you. You were the reason Taehyung made his dream, and pursued it. Now knowing you were placed in the corner of his life, Jimin felt the urge to punch someone.

"I don't think so. Have you met her already?"

Jimin says while going inside the elevator and pressed button number 5. "I did, we went grocery shopping. I thought Taehyung would be home but turns out, his wife is only there."

"I guess that's a hint he was ignoring Y/N."

Jimin frowned while titling his head. "That's oblivious, don't you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"Obviously, something is up. I heard from Y/N, he usually comes home late." Jimin says while going out of the elevator. "Was there anything else suspicious about him."

"Yes." He craned his neck while searching you in the waiting area. He smiled but felt pity for you. You were too stubborn to think your husband is as innocent as he was. Guessing, he was so busy with work..he had to sacrifice most of the time in the house. No one was there by your side. Until now.

"Jimin?"

"I'll call back, Taehyung's standing up from his desk." Jimin was about to end the call but the man in the other side of the call shouted "Wait!"

"What is it now?" He listened to the younger before hanging up with a nod. He hangs up and sees you now.

He smiled. He was glad to come to the doctor's appointment. Luckily there was a seat beside you, giving him the opportunity sit next to you. He felt the urge to intertwine your hand without you looking. And he did. It made him happy for just a minute.

"It's good to see you." Jimin patted Taehyung on the head after hugging him tightly. He held a grip to the plastic bag full of chocolate ice cream. He forced himself to smile. Deep inside, Taehyung wanted time alone with his wife. He thought this would be the best time but he was wrong.

"Jimin! When did you get here?" He hesitantly threw his arm over his colleague's shoulder.

"Just earlier," Jimin suddenly looks down, his brows raised. "Y/N! Taehyung brought more ice cream!" He suddenly got the bag of ice cream from his colleague's hands.

Y/N looked up and smiled warmly. He handed over the bag to her. "We'll keep this for another time." She then opened the fridge and placed it in the freezer side.

"You've gotten off work early honey. Was there any occasion?" She asked cheerfully.

"Yeah. It's the manager's birthday today so he and the others planned on a night off." He lied, trying to cover his tracks. He insisted in hugging her and giving her a kiss on the head but his eyes landed Jimin. He was doing the things Taehyung wanted to do. His lips touched her forehead and hugged her from behind. Taehyung bit his lip. His gaze became sharp. He tighter his grip before exhaling a breath. He felt annoyed. Seeing the person who is close to his wife. He didn't like seeing this. He claimed her, he married her. He shouldn't do those right?

He chuckled in his mind, I also do that.

"Jimin! I'm doing something!" She screamed ecstatically. He never heard her voice so overjoyed these past months.

"Let me help you, at least!" He didn't take his word. She kept laughing at Jimin. He was playing around, laughing with her. And Taehyung thought he would never see her smiles again.

"Hey, I'm going to take a shower." Taehyung said, interrupting. But his wife face him and smiled.

"Oh sure! We have leftover food from a restaurant we ate earlier. I'll heat it up for you." She began to push away then opened the fridge. He smiled, thinking his wife is still obedient to him. But his smile turned around. He notices her sentence, 'we ate earlier'. They've already eaten together and he was the one missing out.

He then faced to Jimin, who's snuggling to Y/N as she tries to do her job. As irritated as he already is, he called, "Jimin, I'd want to have some bro time with you. I also have something to give you." He lied, while still thinking what he could give and what he could find in this house.
He caught his attention then whispered to Y/N's ear. Now they're whispering without me? He asked in his mind.

Jimin then came, and followed Taehyung. They went up to his bedroom; he asked for Jimin to wait behind the door as he tries to find something unusual in the room. Until something popped up in his mind and he thinks he could fit the personality of his colleague.

Meanwhile, Jimin waiting, he looked at the frames that were hanging in the wall. They were all empty. Maybe they were prepare for the twins.. He thought. He felt happy. For you and him. Both of them. He couldn't feel bothered the love his life won the heart of his best colleague. He further scanned the frames to the left, and notices to see a frame with a picture. It was the wedding. He remember that was planned years ago.

He remembered and was honored to be Taehyung's best man. He remembered the look in their eyes. They were in love. So madly. His regrets lie on that day. He didn't get to say what he wanted. He didn't have time to do what he was supposed to. And from there, he lost the woman he loved so much.

From kids to adults, she was there and he loved her too much that was unbearable to see her go. To let her go. If only, he'd took a turn. Then it wouldn't happen. Everything of what Y/N felt these months could never happen.

"Jimin!" He looked away and see Taehyung smiling devilishly. He raised a brow before noticing that 'something' is behind him. "So I've kept it for purposes of my own, but now I want to give it to you."

As Taehyung revealed the item, his colleague's eyes widen as well with his brows. "You kept a vibrator for purpose of your own?" Jimin grabbed it carefully, examining the structure on how it was built.

"Yes and it's perfect for you!" He smiled with his teeth. Jimin suddenly had an unpleasant smell coming from the vibrator.

"Taehyung, has this been used?" He scratched the back of his head.

"Um—uh..Sorry, I forgot to wash it." Taehyung looked down, feeling heat rushing to his cheeks.

"I'll keep it. I'll use it for my own purpose." The younger looked up at the older and smiled.

"Plus, Y/N doesn't need to know I have that in the house." Both of them laughed, like little kids making fun of an invention that created together.

They haven't had contact for years, and it felt to Taehyung that he missed his colleague. His best man. He wanted to tell everything to him on what's going on. He needs help and already got caught by another younger. He needed his advice on what should he do.

But as he overthink, a secret should remain a secret.
