SWEETHEART

Chapter 5

HI

NO ONE'S POV:

Taehyung followed his father-in-law towards the room situated at the end of the hallway. The white door was opened and he entered inside behind Hyun-bin. 

It was a big room, bigger than his husband's. The room's decor was too pretty. He was awestruck by the white and orchid-pink interior and the white curtains flowing. There were glass doors in the front with a garden view outside. He moved forward.......tailing hyun-bin, not wanting to appear rude. 

Coming forward, he heard the beeping sound of the monitor, and his eyes fell upon a person lying on the bed with machines all around. Taehyung was shocked. He'd never expected this. Jeon Ye-jin, his mother-in-law was lying on the bed with closed eyes and an oxygen mask on her mouth. Her face seemed a little pale.

Hyun-bin sat beside her taking her hands in his, ''Ye-Jinaa , look who's here. ''

''Your Son-in-law''

Taehyung gulped moving towards them. He stood there as tears started forming in his eyes . 

''Meet Jeongguk's life partner honey, Taehyung.''

Taehyung stared at the couple with paining heart. His eyes brimmed with tears. Hyun-bin looked at him with a smile, gesturing him to come . With slow steps he stood in front of her sleeping body. His hands advanced to take her other hand placed on the bed . He sat on the ground on his knees with her hands in grip. 

He bowed down to her . With shaky breaths , he introduced himself. 

''Anneyeong , eomeoni. I'm Kim Taehyung.''

''Call her Eomma , Son.''

Taehyung looked at hyun-bin. Will he be able to call her eomma? Can he ? Looking at her , he's reminded of his own mother who left the world, left him alone to bear the consequences of his father for all these years. 

Yesterday when he got married, his world changed. Everything changed in just a minute. His father decided everything for him and left him no choice. From whatever he's seen till now, he knows now that his father and mother-in-law are good people. And he can't not call her eomma when he's getting this motherly vibe from her. She's just like his mother. Beautiful. 

Taehyung doesn't know about how the relationship with his husband is going to be but he sure knows that he wants to be a good son-in-law to these two.  

''E-eomma'' , He smiled a bit through his tears. Hyun-bin motioned him to get up. He got up and  sat on the other said of the bed just beside her foot. 

''You know Tae, she feels . She hears everything. ''

Taehyung looked at hyun-bin. Anyone who has seen the way he looks at her.....they would know that he loves her a lot. That's the kind of love Taehyung's mother was talking about.

--------- 

At almost Mid-Night, taehyung woke up due to a sound. It was coming from the closet. He got scared. What's happening ? Who's there? The light of the closet is turned on and could be seen from the little door space underneath. Someone is inside the closet. What if his husband is back?

He hurriedly got up and slowly moved towards the door. Internally, he was panicking. What's it going to be to face his husband at this time of the night for the first time?. His fingers touched the door knob to twist it but it was opened from the other side at the same time and taehyung got pulled forward . 

It was all so sudden. In one second he was standing behind the doors and in other he's collided to the chest of a person wearing black t-shirt. Taehyung's lost into the darkness of his clothes. His eyes widened and his heart started beating erratically. It's his husband, Jeon Jeongguk. Taehyung could feel the touch of the latter's fingers around his waist , he could smell the scent of cologne and he could recognize the touch and smell anywhere since the moment  he felt it on the altar. 

Slowly, he moved his eyes upwards . There was the onyx eyes , staring right back at him as if piercing his soul. The fingers of the elder stayed still on his waist and his hands were still trapped between both of their chest. 

Everything is new for him. 

He gulped feeling nervous and timid under the gaze. He lowered his own eyes down and stayed still not wanting to anger the elder whose grip was still as tight on his waist. 

''He's so tall.'' Taehyung thought.

A minute or two passed when he felt the grip loosening. He quickly stood at a distance. 

------------

Next Morning , Taehyung was in the Kitchen helping the workers in making breakfast. 

Hyun-bin arrived at the table. 

''Good morning , Appa.'', Taehyung greeted and came forward with the breakfast . 

''Morning, son'' 

Im sol helped him in arranging the table. 

''I heard Jeongguk is back.'', Hyun-bin inquired.

Taehyung became nervous suddenly hearing about him. 

''y-es appa''

''Is he not coming down ?'' 

''H-he-'' Taehyung fiddled. Last night after their first encounter, the elder went away from the room but didn't come back and Taehyung obviously doesn't know where.How to say this in front of his father-in-law?

''I saw Master Jeon in the Home Office this morning. Should I call him?'' , the butler whose name taehyung got to know this morning was Sun-jae spoke while keeping the Juice Jug on the table.

Hyun-bin nodded positively and gestured taehyung to sit down for breakfast.

After a while, Jeongguk came down cuffing his shirt sleeves and sun-jae walking behind him with his coat. 

''Morning, Abeoji.'' Jeongguk greeted his father who greeted back. He glanced at taehyung who was looking down at his plate. Silently, he started eating.

A minute later, Hyun-bin got up . 

''hye-yoonaa .'' He called the maid who came running to him with the newspaper. 

Taehyung looked at Hyun-bin a bit confused who looked at him and said ,'' Ye-Jin and me read the newspaper together.'' This broke taehyung into a smile that held warmth. Hyun-bin ruffled taehyung's hair and disappeared into the room.  

Jeongguk noticed the smile at taehyung's face upon his father's words. In just 2 days , his father and his newly wedded partner are in nice talking terms.  

For taehyung, it was awkward to be eating with the elder. Both ate silently with taehyung peeking at the elder from time to time. He wanted to apologize to the elder last night for disturbing him but he went away before taehyung to say anything. 

Jeongguk got up after he completed . He wore coat sun-jae held out for him in the hall and went away without even looking at taehyung who was still overthinking.
