Love in the Shadows || Vsoo

|7|

Taehyung walked back towards the room he had just exited, his mind filled with a mix of emotions. 

The encounter with Jisoo had left him feeling conflicted and unsettled. Memories of their past together flooded his thoughts, reminding him of the love they once shared and the pain that had driven them apart.

As he approached the room, he took a moment to compose himself, knowing that he couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. 

He needed to be strategic and thoughtful in his actions, especially if he wanted to win them back.

Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door. When it opened, he was met with the sight of Adrian standing there, a guarded expression on his face.

Adrian's heart sank as he realized he had made a mistake. "Shit," he cursed under his breath, feeling guilty and worried about the consequences of his action.

Adrian's eyes widened in surprise and confusion as Taehyung walked into the room and closed the door. 

He couldn't believe that this was the same man who had left earlier, the one his mother had warned him about. But there was something in Taehyung's tone that made him pause.

"Don't be scared," Taehyung said, his voice softer now. "I am not here to harm you. I am here to talk."

After a moment of hesitation, Adrian nodded cautiously. "Okay, but no tricks," he said, mustering his courage.

Taehyung smiled gently, relieved that Adrian was willing to listen. "No tricks, I promise," he assured him.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Adrian asked. Taehyung bent down to his level and gently held his face.

Taehyung's touch was surprisingly warm, and Adrian felt a mix of emotions coursing through him. 

He was still wary of this man who claimed to be his father, but there was also a glimmer of curiosity and hope in his heart.

"Do you know about your father?" Taehyung asked. Adrian shook his head, indicating that he had no knowledge of his father. 

"Mom told me he died before my birth in a car accident," Adrian confessed. "So, your mother killed me?" Taehyung joked, trying to lighten the mood.

 However, Adrian was clearly confused by the statement. "I am your father," Taehyung said, his voice serious and heartfelt.

Adrian froze, unable to process the revelation. "How?" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears. The weight of the moment overwhelmed him, and he began to pull away.

Taehyung immediately pulled him back into a hug, holding him tightly. "Shh, don't worry," Taehyung whispered, trying to offer comfort in the midst of the emotional storm. 

"I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise I'll explain everything." Adrian continued to cry, his emotions in turmoil. 

He felt a mix of disbelief, anger, and a deep desire to know the truth. Taehyung gently stroked his back, allowing him to release his emotions and offering him the support he needed.

As the room filled with tears and silence, Taehyung knew that this was just the beginning of a difficult but necessary conversation. 

Taehyung took a deep breath, realizing that he owed Adrian a full explanation for the years of absence and the truth about their relationship. 

He sat down with Adrian and began to unravel the tangled web of their past. "I'm so sorry, Adrian," Taehyung whispered, his own tears mixing with his son's. 

Adrian clung to his father, finding solace in the embrace. He had longed for this connection, and despite the pain and confusion, he couldn't deny the sense of comfort he felt in his father's arms.

As they both cried, the weight of the past slowly began to lift, and the possibility of a new beginning emerged. 

"I love you, Adrian," Taehyung said, his voice choked with emotion.  Adrian looked up at his father's tear-streaked face, seeing the genuine love and remorse in his eyes. 

It was a bittersweet moment, but in that vulnerability, a new connection was forged. "I love you too, Dad," 

Adrian whispered, his voice raw with emotion. Taehyung smiled through his tears. Jisoo rushed into the room, her heart pounding as she saw Taehyung and Adrian embracing. 

She was torn between her protective instincts and her desire to give Taehyung a chance to make amends.

"What's going on here?" Jisoo demanded, her voice tinged with both concern and caution. As Jisoo pulled Adrian away from Taehyung, she held her son close, her protective instincts kicking in. 

She wanted to shield him from any potential hurt or disappointment, even if it meant keeping him away from his father for now.

"Raven, please look after my son for a while," Jisoo said as she handed over her son to Raven, who was standing outside the door.

She locked the door with just her and Taehyung inside. "Why?!" she shouted, her emotions overwhelming her. Jisoo's voice trembled with frustration and anger as she confronted Taehyung.

Taehyung walked closer to her and reached out to hold her hands. "Sooyaa, listen to me," he pleaded. 

But Jisoo pulled away, shaking her head vehemently. Tears welled up in her eyes as she couldn't bear to confront the emotions that Taehyung's presence stirred within her.

"Don't act as if you're a good person now!" she cried out, her voice filled with anger and pain. "I know you! You must be thinking that you can trick me again, but let me tell you, you can't! Don't try to meddle with me and my son's life! I hate you!"

Fueled by her emotions, Jisoo's power of Telekinesis surged, and she unleashed her frustration by throwing objects across the room with her mind. 

The room shook with the force of her power, reflecting the turmoil within her heart. As Taehyung's anger burst forth, he couldn't control his emotions any longer. 

Using his power, he pinned Jisoo to the wall, his frustration and pain manifesting in a display of force.

Jisoo's eyes widened in shock and fear as she felt the pressure of his power against her. She had never seen Taehyung like this before, and the intensity of his anger frightened her.

"Stop blaming me for everything!" he shouted, his voice filled with pent-up emotion. "You were the one who left! You don't anything about the shit I went through after you left!"
