My first and last

Chapter 16

Filler chapter

As Sangeun promised, Chaeyoung started a new life. She used her influence and connections, to make sure that Chaeyoung could finish her studies and get her diploma.

Sangeun wasn't just rich, she was crazy rich. 

Next, she adopted Chaeyoung as her child and changed her name.

New life means new places, so they moved to Australia, where Chaeyoung, who was already Kim Roseanne, met Kim Taehyung, Sanguen's son.

When they entered Sangeun's house, which was more like a giant palace, they were greeted by Taehyung, with his boxy smile.

"OH my! Who is this pretty lady?", Taehyung arched a brow looking at bewildered Chaeyoung who didn't know where to look, at the handsome man or the beautiful house

"Taehyung, stop your flirting and greet her properly, this is your cousin, and from now on, your sister, Chaeyoung, or more precisely Roseanne!", he clasped his hands in excitement

"Really? That's even better! Want a bear hug?", he spread his arms inviting her to hug him, She approached carefully, and let him embrace her.

"Why are you so tiny? We need to feed you!!!", he said dramatically learning a laugh from her.

Taehyung, even though he was very busy, made sure that Chaeyoung is enjoying her new life. He would take her with him to all the beautiful places he knows there.

He wanted to make a strong brother-sister bond with her. For him, Chaeyoung is very precious, he became very fond of her despite knowing her for a short period.

Finding out about her painful past Taehyung made it a goal to heal her wounds.

To help her move on he set up some blind dates, but all of them were a disaster.

And it seems like the last one is the worst...

"Tae... I need help!", Chaeyoung never texted him for help on the previous dates, but once he saw her text, he knew things are bad...

Reaching there he heard what that man, which he thought was a good friend of his, was saying to his adorable little sister

"When Taehyung showed me your picture, I thought you were innocent ... but in fact, you're worn out, I don't want someone's leftovers..."

Taehyung didn't wait longer, Chaeyoung was already hurt and he won't let him insult her more, he run to him and punched his face

"I hope to not see your shrimped face ever again, or else... You know me!", with that he wrapped securely his hands around Chaeyoung's shoulders, apologizing for setting her up with such an asshole.

Taehyung took her to their favorite beach spot. Sitting on the heated sand by the sun's rays, the two were admiring the changing colors of the sunset.

Chaeyoung inhaled the salty ocean air.

" I am sorry... I ruined your friendship...", she felt guilty, Taehyung tried to help her and she ruined it

Taehyung didn't let her finish her unnecessary apologizing speech, "What? He was an asshole I should thank you, now I know their true colors...", he can't understand why would she blame herself.

" I won't set up more dates for you... I should have asked you in the first place if you are comfortable and ready to try again...", it was his turn to ask forgiveness

Chaeyoung chuckled, " Thank you...", she smiled at him and Taehyung felt so warm inside

"Was he really that handsome, that he swapped your heart away this hard?"

"He is... The most handsome I have ever seen..."

"There's is no way! Not when I exist!", he protested playfully and Chaeyoung laughed with him at his silliness.

" He is my first love... I don't think my heart will ever beat the same way for someone else...", she decided to open up to him, " I am grateful that you tried to help me... but it seems like he still owns my heart even though he's the same one who ruined it... It just feels like, we missed something important that ruined it all...", she teared up at the beautiful memories of them together and the future they could have together with their son...

Taehyung hugged her, letting her cry on his shoulder, he knows that he can't do anything to help her but at least he can listen to her cry and let her know that she has him.

"It's okay, I will always be by your side, I am your big brother and big brothers should take care of their sisters"

Chaeyoung wrapped tightly her arms around him. She feels secure and loved.

Taehyung watched as Chaeyoung finished another stuffed toy. Since she stays almost all the time at home she developed it as her hobby.

" You have talent at this!"

Chaeyoung greeted him with a smile, "Tae! You came already?", she looked at the watch it was already night. She didn't notice how the time flew so fast

"You know what I think?", he took a seat next to her, " Why don't you start your business?"

"A business? With stuffed toys?"

"Uhu! I know you're donating them, but why dont you make it big? Think about it, I will help you with everything you need, okay?"

Chaeyoung looked at all the toys she already made... Most of them she manufactured at the request of her mother's friends for their kids...

She wanted to start something with this but she didn't have the courage.

If she couldn't give her son a happy life, then why wouldn't she make happy the others?

The next morning Chaeyoung run to Taehyung with sparkling eyes and a big smile.

"Tae! I want to open a toy store! I thought about every detail! I'm going to make a dream place for every kid in the world! There won't be only toys, I am planning to make teaching and playrooms... Oh, and maybe some free services for those who can't afford it, and, ... " she was babbling with excitement, she couldn't sleep all night thinking about Taehyung suggestion.

" Okay, but first, calm down a little... you are getting dressed, we are having our breakfast, and then you are coming with me to draw up your business plan! I will invest in your idea and help you with every detail! I'll make you the best businesswoman in the world", he said confined in his sister's skill and will.

"Yes! But I will pay you back! I want to make something on my own... I want to start a new and go on with my life..."

Taehyung nodded, it was the first time since he met her that he saw her eyes sparkling, he saw her so determined to move on, to fight her struggles and nightmares, and he couldn't help but feel proud of her.
