A Love so far (Taehyung ff)

40) Take care

As the day of Yn's departure to India approached, Taehyung found himself struggling with a mix of emotions. Despite their strained relationship, he couldn't help but feel a deep longing to be near her.
In the past week, Taehyung had made a conscious effort to stay in the house more than usual. He would often find excuses to linger in the common areas, hoping to catch a glimpse of Yn.
Although they hadn't spoken since their last conversation, Taehyung would secretly glance at Yn whenever she was around. He couldn't help but be drawn to her presence.
To ensure he saw her as much as possible, Taehyung would often request water or other small items from the maids when Yn was nearby. He knew she would be the one to bring it to him, and he savored those brief moments.
As he watched her move around the house, Taehyung felt a pang of regret for his past behavior. He wished he could turn back time and do things differently.
But for now, he was content with these small moments, these fleeting glimpses of the woman he loved. Tomorrow, she would be gone, and Taehyung couldn't bear the thought of being apart from her.
As the hours ticked by, Taehyung found himself growing more and more anxious. He knew he had to find a way to make things right between them, but he didn't know where to start.
All he knew was that he couldn't let her go without a fight. He had to find a way to bridge the gap between them, to make her see that he still loved her. But for now, he was stuck in this limbo, unable to express his feelings.

Taehyung arrived early for dinner, hoping to spend some time with Yn before she left for India. But as he entered the dining room, he was met with an uncomfortable silence. Yn was already seated, her eyes fixed on her plate.
Taehyung cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "When is your flight time?" he asked, his voice cold and detached.
Yn didn't respond, didn't even look up. Taehyung felt a pang of frustration, but he continued.
"Did you pack all your things?" he asked, his tone still icy.
Yn nodded slightly, still not looking up. Taehyung felt a surge of anger, but he pushed it down.
"I need to remind you of the contract rules," he said, his voice dripping with formality. "You're required to be back in South Korea every weekend, from Saturday morning to Monday morning. Don't forget."
Yn's eyes flickered, and for a moment, Taehyung thought he saw a glimmer of resentment. But then, her expression hardened, and she looked away.
The silence stretched out, and Taehyung knew he had to fill it. He couldn't bear the thought of her leaving without saying something, anything.
"Yn," he said, his voice still cold, but with a hint of desperation. "Take care."
Yn's eyes flashed with anger, and for a moment, Taehyung thought she would lash out at him. But then, she stood up, her movements mechanical.
"I will," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. And with that, she turned and walked away, leaving Taehyung alone in the silence.
Taehyung watched her go, feeling a deep sense of loss.  He know he had pushed her away.

Taehyung trudged into his bedroom, flopping onto the bed with a mix of emotions. He didn't want Yn to leave for India, the thought of separation weighing heavily on him. But he knew he couldn't stand in her way. Yn had worked tirelessly to become a bureaucrat, pouring her heart and soul into her studies and training.
He thought about her late-night study sessions, her determination, and her unwavering passion. She had earned this opportunity, and he couldn't deny her the chance to shine. Taehyung's heart swelled with pride, knowing that Yn's hard work had paid off. He realized that his own desires couldn't hold her back from achieving her dreams.
With a deep breath, Taehyung accepted the inevitable. He knew that Yn's trip to India was a crucial step in her career, and he would have to let her go. For now, he just lay there, surrounded by the silence of his room, and the ache of impending separation.

Yn lay awake in her bedroom, her mind racing with thoughts of the journey ahead. Tomorrow, she would return to India, driven by a burning desire to uncover the truth. She was determined to prove to Taehyung, and herself, that she was not the person he thought she was. The weight of his misconceptions about her past had been crushing her, and she couldn't bear the thought of being seen as a "whore" in his eyes.
As she tossed and turned, memories of her late husband Nish flooded her mind. She had loved him with all her heart, and his passing had left a gaping hole in her life. But Taehyung's accusations had pierced her soul, making her question her own integrity. She knew she had to clear her name, to prove that she had never betrayed Nish's trust.
Yn's thoughts drifted to Taehyung, and she felt a pang of sadness. She had grown to care for him deeply, but his doubts had created a chasm between them. She knew she needed to distance herself from him, at least until she could prove her innocence. The thought of facing him, of seeing the distrust in his eyes, was too much to bear.
With a newfound resolve, Yn threw off the covers and got out of bed. She began to pace her room, her mind racing with plans and strategies. She would find the truth, no matter what it took, and she would make sure Taehyung knew the real her. But for now, she needed to stay away from him, to protect herself from the pain of his misconceptions. Tomorrow, she would embark on a journey of self-discovery and vindication, one that would change her life forever.
