The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a soft glow across the room as I slowly woke up. The events of the previous night played in my mind, and a warm blush crept across my cheeks at the memory of Taehyung's kisses. I pushed the covers aside and headed downstairs, only to find Mamma in the kitchen, humming to herself as she prepared breakfast.
"Mamma?" I called softly, taking a seat at the table. She looked up, her warm eyes meeting mine with a smile.
"Sì, tesoro?" (Yes, darling?) she responded, her voice full of affection.
"Quando hai capito di amare papà?" (When did you realize you loved Dad?) I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. She paused, her expression softening as she put down the spatula and leaned against the counter, reminiscing.
"È successo quasi subito. Tuo padre... era un uomo così forte e deciso." (It happened almost immediately. Your father... he was such a strong and determined man.) Her eyes sparkled with the memory, and I could see the love she still held for him.
"E come ha fatto a conquistarti?" (And how did he win you over?) I asked, leaning forward, eager to hear more.
"Ha combattuto per me, tesoro. Nonostante fossi metà coreana e ci fossero persone che ci giudicavano, tuo padre non si è mai arreso. Mi ha amato senza riserve, ha lottato contro tutti e tutto per noi. Il nostro amore era indistruttibile." (He fought for me, darling. Even though I was half Korean and there were people who judged us, your father never gave up. He loved me unconditionally, fought against everyone and everything for us. Our love was unbreakable.)
The sincerity in her voice touched me deeply. I could see how much she cherished those memories, and it made me wonder if I could ever experience something so pure, so powerful.
"Lo amavi davvero tanto, vero?" (You really loved him so much, didn't you?) I whispered, a pang of longing in my heart for something similar.
