The Betrayal Chronicals.

2 years later

"You are such a nice couple, you both suit eachother well." Namjoon, Taehyung's elder brother complimented them and Taehyung smiled while Ria seemed lost.

It had been more than a year since they were married but so far she couldn't love Taehyung back, or feel some spark for him. It was making her guilty eachday.

She thought maybe building a sexual relationship would make her feel some attachment and connection for him but no, she only ended up disappointed.

"Ria suits me well for sure. I look good and happy when she is beside me." Taehyung smiled eating the dinner as he spared his wife a glance, she passed him a small smile.

"What are your plans then?" Taehyung's mom asked them.

"What plans? I am thinking of planning a vacation next plan, we will go wherever my wife says." Taehyung said holding Ria's hand.

"I was talking about you both having a child. Your honeymoon period is all over now, get serious." She said and Taehyung looked at his wife who seemed to be taken aback.

"Mom, it's our decision. I will not let anyone influence that, once we both agree to have one, we will have one. I don't have any hurry." Taehyung took her stand."And I would really appreciate if you leave our matters to us, I appreciate your concern for us but in the end we will be influenced by the decision and I don't want any regrets from any side." Taehyung explained politely.

One thing that was nice about him was that he was very mannered and polite and was loving to his family and friends.

Maybe because he was a lawyer, she never really had to fight for herself. He would take her stand as her husband.

"It's okay mom, let them have fun. I and Lea only had our son after 4 years." Namjoon smiled to his mom.

"You are not eating?" Taehyung whispered to his wife as he poured some more food for her thinking she was hesitating.

"No, I am." She replied back thinking something.

She sometimes behaved distant to him when he started acting like a romantic husband rather than a friend and he thought she was just shy rather than thinking she didn't love him back.

During the whole meet up, Ria remained quiet until Namjoon asked Taehyung to sing a song for his wife on a guitar.

"Sure. Which song Ria?" Taehyung asked smiling.

"You don't really have to sing for me." Ria was hesitant. He always showed how much he loved her.

"Don't be shy." Namjoon chuckled and looked at his brother."Hey, how about the song you wrote for her?" Namjoon suggested and Taehyung gave him a solemn look, it was supposed to be a surpise for their anniversary."Sorry." Namjoon apologized immediately after realizing that.

"Now that you already know about it, I should sing it, I will write another one for our anniversary." Taehyung didn't mind much and started singing while looking at his wife while Namjoon hugged his wife lip synching the same.

Ria was looking down, Eva was right, his love was suffocating her now, this relationship was exhausting, she wasn't happy, she felt like a sinner.

"Great, Ria, did you like it? You can say it, you don't have to be shy infront of us." Namjoon tried to make her comfortable.

"It was beautiful." Ria smiled looking at Taehyung.

"You are too." Taehyung kissed her.

"I want to leave." Ria whispered to him and he nodded.

"You should come to our place for a get together soon." Taehyung stood up.

"You are leaving already?" Namjoon asked.

"Just have a case to study, we will catch up soon." Taehyung hugged his brother as he lied.

"Ok, but I really enjoy it when you both come." Namjoon smiled and his wife agreed.

"I enjoyed my time too." Taehyung said and walked his wife to the car. They bid them bye and Taehyung drove out."Are you alright? You seemed distracted. Is there a problem you want to share?" He asked holding her hand.

"Taehyung, I want a child." She said looking at him.

Maybe having a child will make her love him, it will atleast make their relationship stronger from her side.

"Ria, Mom is old and keeps saying this stuff to every married couple she knows. Don't take her words seriously. You don't have to make a decision just because of her." He said.

"You don't want a child?" She asked.

"Ofcourse I do, and I will give you as many as you want once you take that decision yourself and not because of someone else. I am really not in a hurry, we can be like this for a few more years." He told her.

"No, I want to start a family and it's my decision, I was thinking of saying this to you for a long time and I think after your mom already brought up the topic, it was fine to tell you this." She said fiddling her fingers and he noticed that, she was nervous. He held her hands caressing them in his gentle grip.

"You think I am one of those men who will leave you or stop loving you just because you don't want to have a child? Is it why you are forcing yourself to make a family with me? Baby, you don't have to do that, kids are secondary, you will always be the priority." He assured her."I won't leave you even if you want to, I am never breaking this relationship ever." He promised kissing her hand."Also you don't really have to think about anything before sharing it to me. Our relation doesn't have space for hesitation. I want to be the first person to know what's going on in your mind." She slowly nodded.

"It's my decision Taehyung, I really want to have kids. Nothing is influencing my decision." She told him and he moved his head understanding her.

"Are you sure it's not because you are bored or tired of hearing people talking about us making a baby?" He asked one last time.

"No, I just want to have a child with you." She assured him.

"Then we will start planning it as you want and you can back off any time if you feel scared of the responsibilities or thought of pregnancy, I won't get annoyed, hate you for that or judge you. Okay?" He stopped the car looking at her."Promise me you won't force yourself into anything just because you think it will make others or me happy and come to me without a thought if you want to change your mind. I understand that pregnancy and having a kid is scary and lethargic. My happiness commences with your smile and peace. I will accept your decision. I want transparency in our relationship. You don't like something, we just won't do it."

"Okay." She replied nodding her head.

She wouldn't talk her heart out to him like he wanted and always hoped for, so he always had to speak about every possibility to her and assure her with his love so she was fine emotionally and didn't have any fear. He was just waiting for her to feel comfortable enough with him to speak anything that came in her mind.

"Good." He kissed her.
