Wrong choice last part.

“MY SON HE IS. You don’t deserve to be a mother.” Hongjae’s voice roared across the house.

And she knew her sin was unleashed and it was her time to pay the price.

.

.

.

After 2 years.

Kim Hongjae had divorced his wife with a heavy heart though he had given her a lot of money i.e. the only reason she was with him.

Seorang was depressed, devastated everything because at the end of the she had started to love them. However she wasn’t forgiven.

Even Yugyeom shifted away from her, too much in guilt he himself was. He had never realised why he kept Harin’s picture in his car, he thought it to be a simple longing, not realising that she was the daughter he never had but loved to lengths.

And Taehyung.

He was coping up.

Losing his mother with whom he had shared such a beautiful bond had taken a heavy toll on him.

Such a heavy toll which had troubled him to a high extent. And he really wished to have someone close who can help him, not in a friendly way cause Jimin was best at it.

Though he still used to see her from a distance. His heart didn’t agree to meet her after knowing her true face.

And yes!

He had MOVED ON.

Any relationship? No!!!

But he had stopped missing his junior quite recently actually.

He focused more on his studies. And had completed his graduation.

But still from the past two years he wished somewhere in his heart that he would receive a greeting at least.

On his birthday or AT LEAST his graduation? That’s a one time event, no?

But he didn’t.

He understood her. And felt guilty too for unknowingly being the reason of her misery.

But what was his fault?

He lost his mother.

He lost his love.

His father was trying hard as he held himself guilty for marrying Seorang.

But he did move on.

Even though everytime he came back to his house from office, he remembered her.

Absence of his mother reminded him of her.

But he believes that he moved on.

So still after MOVING ON there he was, sitting on the same couch with his phone in his hands, looking at the familiar chat, hoping to receive anything which can make him smile before the clock shows 12am indicating end of his birthday.

~tick~tick~tick~

The time passed......

His birthday ended.

And he just dilly dallied himself to his room.

*Did I actually move on??*

He asks himself every time he is disappointed like this.

*But still it doesn’t hurt as it did in the beginning. And neither I care now. * A  familiar made up thought which can make him sleep without any tug at his heart.

But this time he didn’t want to sleep. He felt pathetic.

*How can she actually affect me so much. * This thought had always clouded his mind whenever he thought he was fine.

*What did we have even. A thing??...... For like what, a few months. * Taehyung scoffed in frustration.

He got up still in his ‘birthday getup’ as he drove to his new hangout place.

Yoongi’s place.

It wasn’t much of a problem since he lived alone and the only person there would be Jimin. And even though he won’t admit, he liked to drive past by a specific house in the neighborhood.

.

.

“Want a beer?” Yoongi said as he watched Taehyung making himself comfortable on the couch.

“Please”

“Taehyung?” Jimin popped up from the room. “Did you open my gift.” Jimin looked at his best friend lovingly to get praised.

“No. I didn’t touch any of the gifts.” Taehyung washed all of his hope as he monotonously replied taking his first sip of beer.

“You used to be so excited for your birthdays and now you procrastinate enjoyment of your gifts.”😗

 pouty Jimin Said as the trio sat down on the couch enjoying their beer.

“I enjoy them, it’s just I feel a little down.” The hidden loneliness dominated his mind as he felt beer warming his throat.

“You miss her don't you?” Yoongi shot him a glance with a difficult expression.

This question made Taehyung stiff with his drink. He clenched his jaw trying to force out some lie but knowing he couldn't, the words slipped out of his mouth before he could have a second thought.

“I do.”

“Her or your mother.” Jimin asked trying to clear the doubt.

Taehyung just shut his eyes, finishing his beer with his last sip. Now he wanted to leave or literally run away from there.

"Taehyung...~" Jimin urged him to answer.

“Her” Taehyung snapped out as his desperation got the best of him.

“At last” Jimin rolled his head back in joy as Yoongi got up to fetch something.

“What happened.” Taehyung was confused to find his best friend enjoying.

“She had sent so many letters for you but requested that you should ask for her. technically you haven’t asked now too but at least you admitted you missed her. I hope whatever excuse I'm making is worth it. We both were tired of keeping this a secret.” Yoongi replied as he handed him a big carry bag. “You know…..” Yoongi had a little smile on his face. “She never changed her number.”

And now it dawned upon Taehyung.

She thought she hurt him and he wouldn't want her and he made that clear by not approaching her even once.

“I think I need to leave now.” Taehyung just clutched the bag as he rushed out of the room to his car.

As soon as he got inside the car, he emptied the bag.

A few letters, wrapped gifts with cards.

And he broke down.....

He just kept the letters tugged at his heart as he accepted himself.

His tears rolled down as his mind was chanting "I miss you."

He cried as he accepted that he still missed her too much.

He still loves her and he would forget the past if it means a happy future with her.

With his teary eyes he opened one of the letters. It was old. Around his previous birthday he guessed.

""""""""""""" Happy Birthday my love.

Just an year before I was wondering whether I'll be there with you for this time too. Now I'm really happy that I'm here. With you.

I'll be truthful I'm a really selfish person. And I want to be with you even if I'm hurting you. I don't want to let you go.

***Ever my love. ***

You are stuck with me.😈

To my everything.

At least that's what I want it to be but it is impossible.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

***Thou. ***

My solace, My rationality, My addiction.

I want to be with you even when I'm not able to walk due to old age.

However Fate has it's own role play.""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

He chuckled as he read the letters which were decorated with stickers.

He saw her address

Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.

*I can drive to her place. * A sudden thought interrupted his mind.

He immediately opened the map on his phone to her place. *40km would mean 1 hour maximum. *

A grin covered his now red face due to crying.

He drove his car according to the direction with an excitement bubbling in his chest. He had informed his dad about his travel and was sure he would be happy too.

The loneliness turned into nervousness as he ringed the doorbell of a small apartment.

Judging by the place, he concluded that she might be living alone.

“Who’s there.” A voice from inside interrupted his thoughts making his heartbeat accelerate.

But his words got stuck in his mouth as he stood there.

He wanted to speak but was nervous of the resident’s reaction.

“Who is ther— Taehyung?” Harin spoke as she opened the door a little to see outside, trying to see through clearly.

“uuhmm~ Hi” Taehyung awkwardly stood there as he saw a confused sleepy face staring at him with wide eyes. “Can I come in.” Taehyung tried his luck which was surprisingly good.

“Uhm, okay” Harin opened the door for him, locking it afterwards.

“Do you want something.” Harin asked, sleep still visible on his face, dressed in her night suit.

Taehyung bit his lips in hesitation as he stood in front of her in the silence. His eyes were on her the whole time as if he wanted to compensate the passed time.

“You want to sleep. You must be tired or should I make you something.” Harin asked as she wiped the tear a yawn left her stopping Taehyung in a way to check her out in a sleeping dress.

Taehyung was numb. She wasn't showing any reaction to his arrival. Had he lost the chance of coming back to her.

All his thoughts were interrupted by a hug.

Harin hugged him mumbling in sleepy voice. "I know you're here means you want to give us a chance. I missed you. A lot."

"Let's sleep for now. We'll talk tomorrow." Taehyung said picking her up after Harin hummed in agreement.

“Have a good rest, we’ll talk tomorrow.” Harin entered the bed as she shifted making space for her old partner.

Taehyung just wiped forming tears from his eyes as he laid in the bed cuddling her, nostalgia hitting him.

“I missed you.” Taehyung spoke, his voice coming out croaked as he snuggled his head more into her embrace.

“Kim Taehyung.” Harin cupped his face as she held their eye contact.

“I love you. Truly. With all of my heart. So, don’t you dare cry after making me this happy, okay.” Harin leaned in to peck his lips, the next second, she felt her nape being grabbed & the kiss deepening.

Their second kis$, it was.

But this time was different.

A loneliness was lifted through the kiss, as their tears escaped their eyes making both of them realized how much they actually missed each other.

Taehyung held her close by her waist as their kiss deepened. While she had her arms circled around his head. Their lips not being away for a single second. Pouring every emotion they have been storing inside them.

However they had to pull away.

Their face glistening with tears as they both stared at each other.

"I missed you more than I can imagine." Harin spoke as her tears decorated her face.

“Give me another chance.” Harin spoke as she wiped his tears. “Let me come to you again this time only to love you only.”

“Gladly I’ll. Just love me Hwang Harin & never leave me.” Taehyung said joining their forehead, enjoying her touch.

“I’ll never.” Harin promised as both leaned for another kis$.

And they knew that the next day they’ll have an important discussion however they also knew the result of the discussion.

They knew they would still be together.

And like this they slept together everyday in each other's embrace to compensate which was promised yet never fulfilled.
