“What? Why? Sarah never did anything to me.”

“She knew everything but she hid everything from me. She said it wasn’t our matter to get involved. But you are the matter, and it's more than important.” Jungkook caresses Taehyung's back and says, “Why didn’t you tell me Taehyung that he used to treat you that bad? I would beat him to death.”

Talking about the past felt like scratching a healing wound to Taehyung. Those words, that wound start roaming around his memory lane. Remembering all those painful days Taehyung clenches on Jungkook more.

“Tae, calm down. I am here now.”

“It w-was so d-difficult for me, J-Jungkook-ah. I n-never thought I-I would s-see you a-again. I t-thought you u-used to hate m-me.”

“How could I hate you, Tae?” Jungkook hugs him tightly and places a kiss on the top of his head. “I have a lot to tell you about your past and you have to listen to me.”

Jungkook elaborately describes Taehyung about his past, about his parents, his pack and also the promise he made to his mother.

“I really don’t know if there is any necessity to send you back in your pack anymore. You are already having a good life with your partner, you have a kid to bring up and also you are fine & happy as you promised. I came here to take you back. But I shouldn’t, you should lead a life the way you want. I am glad that I met you again.”

Taehyung looks at Jungkook's eyes straight and decides for a while whether to tell him about Junhae or not. Jungkook is about to pull away but Taehyung cups his face and pecks on his forehead.

“We are the parents of Junhae.”

Jungkook was out of words, he couldn’t register all those words said by Taehyung.

Looking at Jungkook's face, Taehyung starts to explain himself, “I had never been with any alpha without you. I was expecting after we came back from Pohang. But before I could let you know you said yes to your marriage proposal. On that condition I just couldn’t marry Junwoo. Not only me, but Junhae's life would have been a mess. I wasn’t sure if he would let me keep her after knowing about my pregnancy. So I escaped. I couldn’t kill a life selfishly and why would I? She is the only string between me and you.”

“You are telling me that Junhae is m-my d-daughter?”

Taehyung nods and pats his head. Both of their eyes are wet with happy tears.

“And what about Mrs. Choi's son?”

“She doesn’t have any children. After I escaped, I came straight to Pohang to meet Jimin. But he was out of town that time. I was roaming around at night in this village. She helped me and let me stay for a couple of days. But after I met Jimin, she didn’t let me go. She said I am like her own son. So I stayed. She took care of me till Junhae was born and she still does. There is nothing more than this. We found family with each other.”

“Why did you lie to me then?”

“I thought you are happily married now and you shouldn’t know about Junhae.”

Jungkook hides his face with his palms as he can't control anymore. All he wanted was a family, a family to share peace with, a family to make memories with, a family to be with. He already had one but he didn’t know.

Taehyung pulls Jungkook on his chest and whispers in his ear, “You want to meet Junhae?”

“She hates me. She doesn’t like me.”

Taehyung chuckles and wipes Jungkook's tears with his fingers, “She doesn’t know you. Give her time. She will not only like you but also love you.”

Jungkook smiles like a kid and pecks on Taehyung's nose.

“You got pretty moles.”

Taehyung bursts into laughter, “After this much time, only my moles are pretty, my bad!”

“And you know that's not right.” Jungkook chuckles too.

Taehyung gets up from the floor and drags Jungkook upstairs. For the first time, Jungkook enters Taehyung's room. His eyes get stuck on the wall. There are some photo frames of his mom, dad, Jae and even of himself.

And I thought he left everything behind!

Beside all these photos, there were more photos of Taehyung and Jae; Taehyung with a small bump, Junhae rolled within a white towel, Junhae's large doe glittery eyes while crying, Junhae's laugh and so on. With all these, he realized he had already missed the sweetest time with his family.

Taehyung slowly approaches him and holds his hand tightly.

Jungkook takes out Taehyung's photo and rubs his thumb over the baby bump on the photo frame, “Wish I could be there with you.”

“You are now and that's all I need.”

Jungkook looks at Taehyung and his teary eyes show a glittery effect.

“It's okay, Jungkook-ah. We are fine.”

Taehyung drags Jungkook beside the crib where their daughter is sleeping peacefully. Jungkook looks at her carefully now. Junhae looks like a little angel while sleeping. Jungkook rubs his hand over her tummy and says, “My Junhae? My daughter?”

Jungkook's eyes moisten in happiness seeing the pretty kid clinging like a koala with her teddy bear. He whispers looking at Taehyung, “She's got a mole under her lip.” and points to his own with another hand.

Taehyung chuckles and nods to his words.

The night goes by Jungkook watching Jaehee sleeping and Taehyung looking at him.
