𝗞im Taehyung had chosen his happiness all throughout his life. He was a self-made man, a dashing CEO of his own company as well as a doting father to his daughter, Ara.
He is a firm believer in the philosophy of life where it's okay to make sacrif...

Once he sees Jimin grabbing Taehyung and making him sit on the chairs near the door, Yoongi gives a small smile to the doctor and asks if he can meet Ara to which Sanha nods at him.
Without wasting any time he enters the room, holding his breath as he comes closer to the tiny, frail looking figure on the bed.
At first glance, he sees that Ara has an oxygen mask on her face and a host of wires and pipes attached to her body.
Yoongi feels his eyes start to sting and he sighs, lightly caressing her cheek.
Ara feels the light touches on her face and he widens his eyes when he sees her eyelashes flutter open.
He waits for her to fully come to and when she does, she gives a small smile to her buddy.
“Hey there princess,” he says, brushing back her bangs as she flushes the smile at him.
“Hi.” She replies, voice dry.
“Are you feeling okay? Does anything hurt?" He asked, running his hands through her hair and untangling the strands as he went.
She shakes her head as her eyes roam around the room.
“Where's dad?” She asks, eyes coming back to Yoongi’s face. She tries to sit up but Yoongi stops her.
"It's alright princess, please rest. Tae will be here soon. He’s talking to that doctor you like so much.” Ara only slightly smiles and nods at him, closing her eyes.
Yoongi continues to stare at her, not realising the small smile that had dawned on his pale face.
It had been four years since she started calling Yoongi as her best friend.
He had always felt that he was someone close to her with whom she shared everything, just a little less than her dad.
He was there when she fainted for the first time. He’d held her tiny form in his hands as they rushed into a hospital, trying not to cry when all he could hear was Taehyung’s panicked calls for a doctor.
He was there when Taehyung had to teach Ara that she was slightly different from other children her age, through the silent tantrums she threw.
He was there when Taehyung would simply become overwhelmed from overthinking whether he was a good father to Ara.
“Buddy,” she calls, catching his attention, bringing him immediately out of his thoughts.
"Tell dad I'm his strongest girl,” she swallows and Yoongi holds her little hand in his, reassuring her with a squeeze.
“Tell him t-that nothing will happen to me. I'll never leave h-him, no matter what. I'll stay with him forever.” She says, holding Yoongi's hand back.
Yoongi simply sits there, nodding as his mind wanders to someone else. Someone just as strong, stubborn, yet soft.
"Yes,” he says, “you're strong just like…” he trails off, struggling to find words.
