Y/N paced back and forth in the living room, her mind spinning with a hundred different thoughts. She knew she had to get to the bottom of this. She wasn’t going to let her emotions cloud her judgment, but she also wasn’t going to let herself get played.

A sharp knock at the door made her jump. Rushing over, she flung it open to see Yuna and Lisa standing there, looking battle-ready.

“Where is he?” Lisa asked immediately, stepping inside as if she was ready to fight.

“At work,” Y/N sighed, closing the door behind them.

Yuna crossed her arms. “Good. Now tell us everything. From the beginning.”

Y/N exhaled heavily, rubbing her temples before sitting down on the couch. “I went to his office yesterday.I hadn’t been there before, so I thought I’d surprise him. But the moment I walked in, no one recognized me. They didn’t even know he was married! And then... then I saw her.”

“Aera?” Lisa guessed, eyes narrowing.

Y/N nodded. “She was sitting on his lap. I didn’t hear anything; I didn’t wait to ask. I just stormed out, and when he tried to stop me, I didn’t listen.”

Lisa scoffed. “Good. Make him suffer.”

“But,” Y/N continued, “he came home and tried to explain. He said she just sat on his lap suddenly and that he had nothing to do with it.”

Yuna raised an eyebrow. “And you believe him?”

“I don’t know,” Y/N admitted, frustrated. “That’s why I called you guys. I need to know the truth. I can’t just take his word for it.”

Lisa smirked. “Well then, let’s dig up some dirt.”

Yuna clapped her hands. “Okay. First step: Research everything about Aera.”

Y/N grabbed her laptop while Lisa and Yuna pulled out their phones. They started searching for any information they could find on Aera—her past, her connection to Taehyung, and if she had any history of cheating.

“Bingo,” Lisa muttered after a few minutes. “She cheated on him in the past with two different guys. She even got caught red-handed by one of Taehyung’s friends.”

Y/N’s heart clenched. “Then why is she back?”

Yuna looked up. “Desperation. She probably realized what she lost.”

Lisa sighed. “We need more than just speculation. We need hard proof.”

Y/N’s eyes widened. “Taehyung’s office has CCTV cameras!”

Yuna grinned. “Now we’re talking. Who do we know that can get the footage?”

Lisa smirked. “Jungkook.”

Y/N grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Jungkook’s number. He picked up almost instantly.

“Y/N? What’s up?”

“Jungkook,” she said seriously, “I need a favor.”

“Uh-oh,” he chuckled. “What kind of favor?”

“I need the CCTV footage from Taehyung’s office. Specifically from today, when Aera was there.”

Jungkook was silent for a moment. Then he sighed. “You saw something, didn’t you?”

“Yes. And I need proof.”

Jungkook hesitated. “Look... I can get it, but are you sure you want to see it?”

“Yes,” Y/N said firmly. “I need to know the truth.”

“Alright,” he said. “Give me a few hours.”

As soon as she hung up, Y/N felt her stomach twist with anxiety. Now, all she had to do was wait.

---

A few hours later, Jungkook sent the footage to Y/N’s phone. Her hands trembled as she pressed play.

The video showed Taehyung sitting at his desk, working on his laptop. Then, Aera entered the room. She walked over to him, talking animatedly. He barely looked up, clearly uninterested. But then, out of nowhere, she suddenly sat on his lap.

Taehyung froze in shock before immediately pushing her off. His expression was furious as he stood up, pointing toward the door. Aera looked embarrassed but quickly left.

Y/N’s breath caught in her throat. He had told the truth.

Yuna exhaled. “Damn. He really wasn’t lying.”

Lisa frowned. “That girl is insane.”

Y/N felt a lump in her throat. Guilt washed over her. She had accused him without even giving him a chance. She had shut him out when he was telling the truth.

She swallowed hard. “I need to talk to him.”

Yuna smirked. “Damn right you do.”
