The Binding Angel || Tzukook

The truth was revealed Tzuyu narrowed her eyes in disbelief at him. She snatched his hands harshly, but again he locked her in his hug. He hugged her tighter and felt the pain in his heart, seeing her state right now.

"Let go of me, Oppa!" Tzuyu tried to make sure by herself. He tightened his hug on her.

"He isn't here anymore, Tzuyu-ah." He whispered in his cracked voice.

"It is not funny, Oppa." She mumbled and release herself from him.

"Tzuyu-ah, please trust me!" He begged her with his red eyes which hold his tears for the whole time.

"If he died, kill me too then, right now!! I AM HIS MOTHER. I WILL BE ON HIS SIDE WHATEVER HAPPEN." She threw the fatal words that aroused his anger too.

"CHOU TZUYU!"  He shouted at her. Their cold and fierce voice of him reappeared. Seeing his death glare of him, Tzuyu's face turned pale. She couldn't blurt any word after him. His deep and painful stare at her gave her a shiver. Her eyes roamed the view out of him, feeling upset.

Her sudden change made him realize that his anger was going too far. He hugged her petite body with a shattered heart.

"Please, I don't even care that we become strangers as we did before again. I will be fine if you don't recognize me again. I am fine if you are away from me again. I am fine. I will be fine as long as we still breathe in the same space. Please, don't say those words again! I can't even imagine how can I live my life knowing you want to die. I would rather be a stranger to you again. But please, don't say those words! It hurts me!" He sobbed on her shoulder. Tzuyu who was being denied of the shocking news started crying louder on his hug. She didn't want to believe it. She just felt the baby move and she had loved him from the start.

"You can hate me! You can blame me! You can hit me hard! You can throw things at me! I prefer being beaten than knowing you're saying those words!" He added tightening his hug.

Tzuyu screamed louder on his hug, her hands kept hitting his chest hard with the remained energy she had. She shouted at the top of her lung, realizing she just losing their baby. He just let her blurt out her feeling without doing anything, instead of hugging her tighter. The only task left was he should stand beside her no matter what.

Yeojin was crying out loud after the incident with Dahyun's hug. Cha's twins also tried hard to redeem her remorse by shaking her toys and Barbie in front of her, but she just cried louder.

"MOMMY." She kept repeating the word while the older trying to coax her, but it failed. She sobbed hard even after hours since the incident. Mrs. Hong who was knowing the news that Tzuyu had lost their baby started to pack things out for Jungkook and Tzuyu. It might take longer for Tzuyu to be hospitalized since she loses a pool of blood and needed a blood donor.

The commotion made the twins take over and ended the party. Yeojin's loud cry echoed in the house, searching for her mother.

"MOMMY!" She still sobbed hard on his hug.

"Shhhh. Yeojin-ya! Uncle is here! It is fine."
He whispered swaying his body lightly to reassure the child's sadness. He swayed slightly coaxing her. He roamed the house calming the little girl's sadness. Not long after being hugged by Minhyuk stopped her cry and the only left was her calm breathing on his neck.

It was time for Minhyuk to cry in silence. Even when he needed a short time with her daughter, the whole world was against it. He took a seat on a couch and kept patting Yeojin's back lightly.

"Yeojin-yaa... It's Dad," He whispered. He gulped his tears which almost screaming down his face.

"Dad is sorry...

Everything that happened to you was caused by me.

Dad is sorry...

Because of Dad, you can't feel your mother's hug, you can't see your mom's face, and you can't get together with Dad and Mom.

Dad is sorry...

Dad wanted you to die back then. That was because of my greediness over others and leaving your Mom alone.

Yeojin-ya seems like Dad can't see you forever.

Dad is fine, it must be the punishment for Dad. Honestly, Dad wants to hear you calling me with Dad, not Uncle. However, it is fine. You can't be proud of me as an Dad.

Dad is relieved that you have an uncle who is loving you so much. Please be a nice girl toward Jungkook Dad and your Tzuyu Mom! Listen to your Dad well, be a good girl, be a pretty girl with a good heart. I might not see you again, but believe me that I will be missing you so much.

Dad should go. I don't want Dad to make a mess again with your Dad and Mom.

Once again, Dad is sorry, I love you, my daughter!" He whispered to her ear slowly, in the hope she can hear that in her sleep. He wiped the tears that wetting his face badly.

In the early morning, Jungkook opened the door that was being knocked lightly from outside. Dahyun with Yeojin in her hug and Cha's twin was coming. Jungkook held Yeojin who was sobbing hard on Dahyun hug.

"Yeojin-ya... Dad is here!" He said weakly. His tiredness couldn't be hidden from his eyes.

"I am sorry, Jungkook-ah. Yeojin is calm before, when Minhyuk-ssi put her into a deep sleep. But, suddenly she woke up in the middle of the night until now, she is searching for you and Tzuyu." Munyeong said worriedly.

"Ahh, it is fine. Thank you Cha Daepyo-nim, writer-nim, Dahyun-ssi." He replied weakly.

"How about Tzuyu's condition?" Munjeong asked about Tzuyu's condition after seeing Tzuyu's back against the door. Jungkook took a glance behind and smiled at them.

"I am sorry, I think she still needs time." He said with his faint smile. Dahyun tiptoed to see her back but ended up being upset seeing her helpless condition.

"I will call you later after she gets better."

"It's okay, we will go." the Cha twins replied waving their hands to make Jungkook stand beside her again.

"Mommy." Yeojin sobbed in Tzuyu's hug. Tzuyu patted her back lightly like she used to do even though she was hospitalized. The three pairs of eyes in the room were puffy red after releasing their stress through their tears. Jungkook just watched them with a dazed look while massaging his head which started aching.

"Why, Yeojin-ya?" her cracked voice replied Yeojin.

"Mommy, why Mom's tummy is flat? The baby?" she sobbed. Tzuyu couldn't hold the tears, looking at Jungkook who was sitting in front of her. Jungkook who was listening to Yeojin's words turned his head to Tzuyu and grabbed Tzuyu's free hand out of the bed tightly. He held her hand tightly and bring it to his lips. He couldn't hold his tears too, but he hopes it could give her strength.

"The baby is in Heaven. We can't see him, Yeojin." Tzuyu explained with tears that choked her throat. Jungkook wiped the tears on her face lightly.

"Why?" Yeojin was crying louder.

"Yeojin-ya. It is okay. He can play anything in heaven." Jungkook replied behind Yeojin's back. Yeojin stopped her cry.

"The baby will meet and play with Nayeon Mom and Grandmother?" Yeojin sobbed.

"If, it is. Yeojin is fine." Tzuyu cried in silence covering her mouth tight.

"Nayeon mom will hug the baby, right?" Tzuyu and Jungkook were startled by her words.

"Nayeon mom is the same as Tzuyu mom. The baby also gets two mothers like Yeojin, right?" She kept babbling innocently while the elders were trying hard not to burst their tears.

"That's right, Yeojin-ya." Jungkook replied biting his trembling lips.

"Nayeon mom and grandmother will play with the baby, right?" Tzuyu hugged Yeojin tight and kissed her forehead.

"Yes, they will." Tzuyu nodded her head. Jungkook leans his head on the bed, behind Yeojin's back, and wipes endless tears of Tzuyu.

At least a childish reason from the kid would give them a slight reassurance from their breakdown.
