I don't think I'll survive otherwise.

Mira was the only one that was able to do any help to Taehyung. From the very moment after the contractions began to now when there was progress in the birthing of the baby.

Hyeon and Chohee were very cautious of her, not letting her touch Taehyung without having a reason to do so.

All she was permitted was the ability to speak. She knew not as much as a doctor did, but she was keeping in mind the things her own doctor told her when she was giving birth.

Taehyung was way calmer than she had been. He didn't scream or do anything that could waste more of his energy.

Mira was glad things were going well.

She was glad that she was able to do just something to help Taehyung out.

But the fear of everything that was going to happen still remained in her heart as she proceeded with her deeds. It was slowly dawning upon her that she really was left all alone.

She had no one who would give her side.

She wasn't a fool to think that Jungkook would just open his hands for her if she went to him. He will give her the punishment he probably yearns to give, the punishment that was lawfully supposed to be given to her.

He didn't have any reason to stop himself to do so now. 

Unless he was given a reason to not give her a lawful punishment, he would make sure she suffered. 

At this point, she would have gladly just gone off and gotten put inside the prison just for having a roof above her head and food to fill her stomach if things were just about herself.

But she had a child.

And she wasn't even living for herself anymore.

If it wasn't for her baby's survival, she would have ended it all.

She had to do something for staying with her child, and her heart burnt every time she saw Taehyung cling to Hyeon. He was doing it out of pure pain and had his hands tightly wrapped around Hyeon's neck. 

How many hopes she had from this man after the way he had been to her in the past...

She realized that she had made one mistake twice. Jungkook accepted her just to save her and she misunderstood that sweetness and dubbed it as love. Hyeon held her and spoke to her softly just because he was soft-hearted like Jungkook, but she thought that he forgive her and accept her when she goes home.

How could she be so dumb? 

He was growling at her now and glaring at her. 

Had she not done anything for people to see her worthy of apology? 

Taehyung completely refused to even hear her out and Hyeon just blandly said he was glad their child didn't survive because it was Mira's too. 

Jungkook looked at Taehyung with love and care. 

Hyeon was doing the same thing.
