Mommy Mine

Broken

Luna couldn't remember the last time she danced as hard as she did that night. Part of her hoped the pain in her legs would distract from the burning in her chest and the bright lights would scare away the water that threatened every now and then to fall from her lashes. When Hyuna bought her for the evening, she felt nothing, except for possibly contempt. She wasn't sure. 

Luna packed her things for the evening, readying to join her buyer. If her coworkers had spoken to her at all during the night she didn't know. She was too lost in thought to pay attention. However, one look at a neatly wrapped box sitting on her dressing room table caught her eye. Had she placed it there? Had he? She couldn't remember and honestly didn't care. She paused and debated throwing it away. Her hand hovered over it waiting for instruction and noticed slip of paper had been carefully placed beneath the box. Luna didn't hesitate to read the note.

Dear Diamond,

I hope you will still use this. I think you are a fantastic mother.

Love,

Taehyung

With a huff, Luna cautiously opened the gift, not entirely sure what to expect. She had received gifts before from clients. Multiple men and even Hyuna had gifted her things she immediately trashed afterwards. From scanty lingerie to intimidating sex toys, she had seen it all. All from people who made their lust known to her, but never from someone who claimed to love her. Would his gift be any different?

Lifting the lid, she saw a packaged device. It seemed to be a small camera. 

She's gotten these before too from the usual perverted men. She was ready to toss it again until she actually read the packaging. 

Baby Monitor ?

According the box, with this device she could see, talk to, and play sounds for her baby from her phone no matter where she was. 

Taehyung didn't want her to record herself for him. He wanted her to be able to see her baby even when they were apart. She had never been able to afford one of these.

Luna stared at the precious gift in her hands and hadn't noticed when the tears she had been holding back started to fall. There was a hiccup, then a gasp, followed by a series of stifled sobs that made heads turn one by one. Her fellow workers approached trying to make sense of her rambling, trying to console but it didn't help.

How could she tell them she fell for a man she slept with twice? And one so young as well. 

Maybe she wasn't completely in love, but there was no doubt she felt something. 

How could they understand? 

They wouldn't. 

Taehyung sullenly closed the door the palatial home where him and his father resided. He knew Luna- no, Diamond thought he was just some dumb lovestruck kid. He had no idea how to convince her otherwise. Perhaps all she needed was time to come around? He would have stood there all night if not for the person waiting for him to arrive. Taehyung acknowledged him when he cleared his throat.

Taehyung bowed his a little in respect to the elder man sitting in the foyer. 

"Father, what brings you here?" He hadn't seen him a while.

"Hello, boy." 

Taehyung winced at the patronizing tone.

"Come here." The man demanded. Taehyung sheepishly obliged. His father stood to his feet and seemed to tower over him, although they were the same height. 

"I've heard some concerning reports about you. I want to know if they're true." HIs father's dark emotionless eyes bore into his own.

"I-I," Taehyung stuttered, "I'm not sure what to say because I don't know what I'm being accused of."

His father raised a brow.

"I want to know if you've been visiting a certain whorehouse and entertaining certain whore."

Taehyung couldn't stop himself.

 "Don't call her that!" He snapped at his father.

He was suddenly hit with a surge of pain on the side of his face. His neck twisting in the direction his father had slapped him. Taehyung bit his lip to hold in his pain and emotions that threatened to bubble over the surface. 

"If you pay for a woman at a whorehouse and she sleeps with you, she's a whore. Don't try to correct me. I expected this kind of thing from Namjoon. He's useless and has always been nothing more than my brother's pawn. But this is completely unacceptable from my own son." His father glowered. Another slap stung the other side of Taehyung's face. 

The boy hissed and fell to the ground, unable to keep his balance. The force behind it caused him to bite his lip. Blood was now beginning to drip down his chin. 

His father glared down in disgust at the young man on the ground.

"You're pathetic. It seems for all the tutors I hired for you they neglected to teach you how to be a man. Get up!"

The man helped his son up from the ground only to hit him down harder than the first two times. 

His father sighed and studied Taehyung on the ground. He knelt in front of him.

The next words his father said shook him to his core. 

"Please," He begged tugging on the older man's pant leg, "Don't do that! Please!"

But his father had already kicked him off and was walking down the corridor. Leaving Taehyung even more broken in spirit than he was in body. 

I doubt a double update would make up for my absence but thank you so much to all the readers who are still here! I'm currently typing these chapters at my desk at my big girl job. <3
