Recovered With Love

Chapter 18

Mew's pov:

I wasn't expecting to hear about his twin brother.

I didn't even know he had a twin brother in the first place.

And judging by Tha's reaction, he didn't know either. He did say that Tae was already 8 by the time he joined the orphanage.

I hope he's in a good state when we find him.

I can't imagine how much Tae will cry if he finds out Forth is not alive.

He's already blaming himself for not remembering him.

I looked down at him.

He was curled up in my arms and sleeping soundly.

I gently brushed his cheek with my thumb.

He had cried for 2 whole hours before finally calming down and falling asleep due to the exhaustion.

I can't even imagine the amount of pain he's in right now.

Getting everything back at once and having to adjust so fast. It's definitely not going to be easy.

Tha had gone out to make a call to get the search for Forth started.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when he started whimpering and squirming in my arms.

"Tae?" I called him softly.

Tears were prickling at the corner of his eyes.

"Tae. Love. I'm right here." I pulled him even closer in my embrace.

He clutched onto my shirt tightly and buried his face in my chest.

"I-I'm so-rry..." He cried softly.

I could feel my shirt getting wet.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. Don't apologise." I said firmly.

He kept shaking and whimpering for a while.

I didn't loosen my hold on him and kept whispering soothing words to him.

I sighed relieved after he finally calmed down.

Tha came in a few minutes later.

"They said they'll start searching." He said softly as he sat down beside me.

I nodded. "I hope he's alive."

"Me too." He gently brushed back Tae's bangs.

He started waking up 4 hours later.

I looked at him.

I had laid him down on the bed after an hour had passed an i was sure he was fast asleep.

But even after doing that, i couldn't move away because he had latched onto my waist and buried his face in my hip.

So for the last 3 hours, I've been sitting on the bed leaning on the headboard scorlling through my phone to pass time.

He blinked profusely before looking up at me.

"Hey." I smiled.

He didn't say anything and just slowly sat up.

I kept quiet as he rubbed his eyes.

"How do you feel?" I asked after he looked up at me.

"A little tired..." He muttered.

I nodded.

"Tha is downstairs. Do you want to go there or stay here?" I asked.

"Let's go downstairs." He answered.
