06 : Guilty

" My one stupid mistake changed everything, what was and what could have been between us "

A massive truck was coming in his direction at an expeditious speed!

Taehyung's pov

Before I could even reach near my little soul, the truck passed by me, taking my breath away with it.

My pumping organ halted for a mere second...

... but resorted to working once the scene in front of me unravelled.

My tiny being was enclosed tightly in a female's arms.

He was… safe and sound.

Rushing towards them, my steps paused as a very familiar woman's countenance came into my vision.

Lee Yn

The remorse struck me harder!

Her eyes watery. Nose rudish. Lips trembling. Her hands gripping Jeongyu securely as if someone would snatch him from her.

And the fact that Jeongyu was too hugging her firmly, seeking her warmth.

His sobs almost died.

" Baby…" I called out, grabbing their attention. Yn had a shock registered on her visage whereas my little being still had his petite arms around Yn's neck.

But he averted his head from me, snuggling more into her warm embrace.

My heart stinged!

" Jeongyu doesn't want to… talk to Appa... he left me… with that bad aunty..." he mewled.

I loathe myself now.

Before I could utter a word, a feminine roar interrupted me. " Are you out of your mind or what? You left your child carelessly with an irresponsible woman!..."

I sauntered my gaze to the raging female, her nostrils flaring and brows knitted together. I lowered my head in shame, listening to her scoldings.

I deserve it.

" What if something bad happened today, huh? What if my baby got hurt?" I craned my neck back up, in an instant, a bit surprised at the way she addressed Jeongyu.

My baby?

The possessiveness in her tone and the manner she saved him without caring about her own life displayed her love and care for Jeongyu…

... just like a mother's love for her infant…

... boundless and selfless!

" You're too irresponsible to be called a father!..." her statement was hurtful but I swallowed it, feeling like I deserved all the pain for my thoughtless deeds. Turning her back to me, she picked up Jeongyu in her arms and tenderly pecked his face multiple times, making him giggle. Unknowingly, the corner of my lips tugged up slightly.

But the awful feeling of guilt never left.

I already hurt an innocent soul and was gonna do worse with other one too!

I am pathetic!

" I— I am sorry…" I fell down on my knees seeking forgiveness for the unpardonable. " My little one, pl--please forgive appa… please talk to me once," my line of sight attached to my tiny bean's face but he tilted his neck.
