Burden of secrets

Y/n’s POV 

“ We have received a response from Kim Taehyung. He has accepted the lawsuit and is ready to go along with the settlements mentioned. " As Eva’s brother, Jihoon brought the information to me , I was yet again left baffled by Kim Taehyung. What was he trying to play here ? Giving up on 35% of his company’s profits and never approaching me or my child . All these decisions and he barely needed twenty four hours to approve this . I indeed was a good riddance to him .

“ So what do we do now ? " I tried to ignore the pang I had felt in my chest and looked ahead at the man who sat across. “ We have to fix a date when we meet with Mr Kim and his attorney. Then a procedure of signing the agreement contract and sealing it will follow after which it will be sent to the court for approval. Once the approval procedure is finished ,it will be all done . “ As he explained, I nodded my head .

Just one last meeting and then I wouldn't have to face him ever again. I could do that , for myself and my child . " Alright. Thank you so much Jihoon-ssi . “ The man in his mid twenties, with jet black hair , parted and styled quite professionally, stood up and showed me his usual smile . It wasn't too exaggerated nor was it invisible. His smile was just the right amount, people would professionally show.

After he left , I walked straight back to my room and laid down on my bed . The ceiling above was quite empty, white and lifeless…

Helplessly the image of the ceiling with floral designs back in the penthouse flashed in front of my eyes . I closed my eyes immediately to avoid them from piling up. I sighed out a heavy breath and turned on my side , eyes then settling on the closed window from where sunlight still poured in . 

When Taehyung had told me about the penthouse, I ended up blurting out about my fascination for flowers and floral designs. Like an over excited person I was , I just said so not really expecting him to pay heed to my words. I got to know that he was indeed paying attention to my words when he showed me my room at the penthouse. Kim Taehyung…a mystery whom I thought I could solve .

Feeling the sting in my eyes , I further turned my head to the side , finding the pillow underneath my head to hide my face . “ I wish I never met him . I wish I never married him. " I let out a shuddering breath , feeling the pillow wetting with my tears . “ I wish I could forget. " 

The moments where my heart started to feel the warmth of your actions. The moments I started to realise the meaning behind them . The moments you didn't speak yet I felt so much . Now I think of you and it burns me from inside .

Taehyung's POV 

The crackling sound of the dried leaves underneath my feet was calming. I walked until I reached the desired place and stood there , looking ahead . I was holding a plastic bag which contained a bottle of soju I had purchased . I stared at the cemetery  where my mother rested. My eyes burnt , not because I had shed enough tears but because of the number of sleepless nights I had . 

After not being able to fight my nerves, this was the only place I had in my mind . I sat down by the tomb , leaning on the shaped stone a bit while my eyes admired the autumnal beauty of the sky . It was blue , bright and with clear clouds. I could finally breathe here. 

After I was able to compose myself a little bit , I brought the glass and the bottle out , opening its seal and then pouring the liquid content in the glass . I then placed it in front of my mother's burial and then reached out inside the pocket of my blazer where I remembered putting the dandelions I had plucked on my way here . “ I didn't forget your favourite flowers. " I spoke to my mother even though I knew there was nobody who would listen to me. I gently placed the gathered flowers near the tomb and then went back to the quietude.
