He dived inside the pool, approaching your figure with swift movements as he held your waist with his hands and heaved your body up the water surface as you breathed heavily, your visage just came out of the water inclined to his while you clutched...

Pouring the water down your throat more like quaffing it which your mother passed you as she rubbed your back taking her seat beside you and gazing at your frame with anxious orbs. Placing the glass of water back on the bedside table, you looked at her and let out a deep breath.
“Tell me what happened?” She asked, softness trailing her voice as you stammered, “He… Wasn’t giving me time at all. Going early to the office and coming home late at night, most of the time I slept without even meeting him and today, I didn’t even get to meet him before he scurried to the office.”
Your mother nodded, perceiving your point of view as she wiped off the tear that just escaped your eyes, your pregnancy hormones weren’t getting to a halt as you added, “Every time he promised me that he would…” You gulped down the lump in your throat and continued, “That he would spend time with me and take a day off from his office but that day never comes. I am fed up with living in that gigantic house all by myself.”
You gazed at your mother with watery orbs and said, “I am all solus and lonely there, I don’t have anyone to talk to. Taehyung doesn’t spend any quality time with me, not even a bit.”
Mrs. Lee smiled mournfully, “Oh! My baby. It’s okay. Everyone goes through time like time. I know it’s hard to live all by yourself in a huge mansion.” She beckoned you to place your head on her lap as you slowly slid on the mattress further before resting your head on her lap as she stroked your tresses, “We will talk about this with him.” You opened your eyes wide as you said, “No. We will seek it out on our own.”
You were about to raise your head from her lap when she placed her palm on your head, “Okay! Okay! Seek it out but don’t take much stress. It will affect your health.” You nodded, leaning her on her lap, closing your eyes. “You know when you were in my womb, I also argued with your father for this.”
Your ears perked up as she spoke, “Then?” You asked as she said, “Your father then started spending quality time with me, He would come home early. And took a day off within a week and I remember sometimes when I saw him overtaken by his work, I visited his office with lunch made by me. We had our lunch together and enjoyed our time. Life is like that and especially relationships, both have to put their best to make it work out otherwise it would fall apart.”
You hummed at her saying, tiredness lacing your voice as you were worn out. Your mother peered at your visage as she discerned your closed eyes making her smile, “Sweet dreams.” She didn’t get any answer back as you went into your slumber.
Slipping a pillow below your head, Mrs. Lee made her way out of the bedroom after turning out the lights and covering you with the duvet.
Closing the door behind, she turned around only to be startled by the sudden presence of her husband as she instantly placed her hand over her rapidly beating heart below her chest, “Aish! You startled me.”
