HIS SECRET WIFE

Chapter 72

By the time Y/n arrived home at Hannam Regency, it was already 11:30pm.

In order not to wake up Taehyung, she gently pushed open the bedroom door and walked barefoot to the bedside.

Under the moonlight, Y/n spotted some documents in Kim Taehyung's hands as he slept.

Her heart ached as she pulled the papers from his hands and placed a bunch of red roses on the bedside table.

Taehyung did not wake at all. He had promised to pick up Y/n early the next day, so he tried his best to quickly finish all his work in order to have a free day with his wife. However, he never expected, in the last hour, she would return home to his side.

Perhaps it was because he could sense someone was looking at him, Taehyung cautiously opened his eyes. As Y/n came into view, he was shocked. He then sat up and asked, "Why are you back?"

"I was hurrying back to be the first to say happy birthday to you," Y/n placed her gaze on the bunch of roses she brought home and Taehyung curiously followed her gaze. As soon as he saw the flowers, he chuckled.

"Mrs. Kim, I've never heard of a woman giving a man flowers."

"Then I'll have to be the first," Y/n smiled. However, she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes. She had done over 20 hours of consecutive filming just so she could take a day off and accompany Taehyung in peace.

Taehyung's heart ached as he gently brushed her cheek and pulled her into his embrace. He knew, in this world, there would not be another person who'd work so hard and tirelessly just so they could rush home by 12am to spend his birthday with him. He also knew that there would not be another person who'd treat him wholeheartedly and make him their priority because in this world, there was only one Y/n...

"I haven't eaten or bathed yet," Y/n groaned.

"You must be tired."

"Uh huh. On the way home I was getting motion sickness and it made my stomach really uncomfortable," Y/n whined.

"Go have a bath and I'll prepare some food for you." After speaking, Taehyung wanted to get out of bed, but Y/n pressed him back down and shook her head.

"Seeing you already makes me feel better."

No words could be sweeter...

Taehyung felt, with all that Y/n sacrificed, his first 32 birthdays had been a waste. If he had been together with Y/n earlier in his life, how good would that have been?

"In that case, I'll take you to have a bath and then eat with you."

"OK," Y/n nodded before burying her head into Taehyung's embrace. However, it didn't take long before she fell asleep in the bathtub.

Taehyung looked helplessly at the bruises on her body as his heart ached. He had warned her not to come home with so many injuries. Yet, she still ended up doing it.

In order to let Y/n sleep more comfortably, Taehyung got into the bathtub to be her human mattress. He initially expected that she wouldn't be able to wake up at 12am. But, as soon as the grandfather clock in the house started chiming, Y/n forced open her eyes and clumsily hooked her arms around Taehyung's neck, "Happy birthday, hubby."

Taehyung placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Let me take you somewhere tomorrow..."

"I want to give you a present." After speaking, Y/n rubbed her head against Taehyung's chest and, once again, fell asleep.

Taehyung hugged his wife tightly and couldn't help but kiss her on the ear, "God knows you are my best present..."

As a man, especially such a manly man, there was no way Taehyung would like something like roses. But, the bunch that Y/n brought home, were the most beautiful flowers in the world.
