Chapter Eighty-two "Phoenix in His Arms"
The Arrival of the Kims
The serene atmosphere of the Kim estate’s
garden was filled with the soft rustling of leaves as Mr. and Mrs. Kim strolled
along the stone pathway. They spoke about trivial matters, enjoying the rare
moment of peace in their otherwise busy lives.
Just as Mrs. Kim was about to comment on the
beauty of the blooming flowers, Mr. Kim's phone rang, breaking the tranquility.
He pulled it out of his pocket and answered the call.
"Sir, there's a serious issue," a
frantic voice spoke from the other end. "A professor from our university
is in an inappropriate relationship with his younger brother. The situation is
escalating. You need to intervene before things get out of hand."
Mr. Kim froze in place, his grip tightening
around the phone. His usually calm expression turned serious in an instant.
“Okay, I will be there,” he responded curtly before ending the call.
Mrs. Kim, noticing his sudden change in
demeanor, immediately grew concerned. “What happened?” she asked, placing a
hand on his arm.
Mr. Kim exhaled deeply before meeting her
worried gaze. “Something serious is happening at the university. Someone just
reported that a professor is in an inappropriate relationship with his younger
brother.”
Mrs. Kim’s eyes widened in alarm. “Are they
talking about Taehyung and Jungkook?” Her voice wavered slightly, anxiety
creeping in.
“I fear so,” Mr. Kim admitted grimly. “Let’s
go and find out.”
Without another word, he turned and strode
toward their car, with Mrs. Kim following closely behind. The driver, sensing
the urgency, quickly opened the doors for them. Once inside, Mr. Kim
instructed, “Drive to the university. Now.”
The ride was tense and silent, both of them
lost in their thoughts. Mrs. Kim clutched her hands together, hoping their boys
were alright. She had always known their relationship couldn't be hidden
forever, but she hadn’t imagined something like this happening.
The Kim couple was well aware that everyone at
the university believed Taehyung and Jungkook were brothers. They had never
corrected that assumption, allowing the lie to persist while secretly being
married behind it.
Upon reaching the university, the couple
hurried toward the main building. As they approached the conference hall, they
spotted a group of students standing outside, looking tense and restless.
Recognizing them, Mrs. Kim called out, “Why
are you all standing out here?”
Jungkook’s friends turned around, surprise
flashing across their faces. Niki, being the closest, quickly explained, “They
suddenly announced Jungkook’s name and called him to the conference hall. We
don’t know why, and he hasn’t come back yet.”
The Kims exchanged knowing glances, their
suspicions confirmed.
Mr. Kim straightened his posture, his usual
authoritative air settling over him. “Come with us,” he instructed.
Without hesitation, the group of students
nodded and followed the couple as they made their way toward the conference
room, their hearts pounding in anticipation of what awaited them inside.
Once they entered, they didn’t expect to hear
Jenny shouting for Taehyung and Jungkook to be thrown out of the university.
Mr. Kim lost his temper instantly, his voice cutting through the tension like a
blade.
“Who are you to decide who will stay in my
university and who will be thrown out?”
Hearing his voice, everyone turned towards
them and immediately greeted their president and vice president.
Their faces were filled with shock, not only
from the sudden presence of the couple but also from the fact that Mr. and Mrs.
Kim were dressed in simple home outfits—something they never wore at the
university. It was clear they had come in urgency.
But why?
