Taehyung's gaze met Soo-min's as she continued to speak, "Isabelle is adopted." The revelation hit him like a wave, stirring a mix of surprise and sadness within him. He had never known that Isabella was adopted. The realization of this fact struck him like a bolt of lightning, causing his mind to race.his mind now racing with questions and thoughts about her past.
Taehyung stuttered in disbelief, his voice barely above a whisper. "W-what?" he repeated, his mind struggling to process the revelation. The notion that Isabella was adopted had never crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder about the circumstances surrounding her adoption.
Taehyung's realization was evident in his words, "I thought it was because maybe her mother is Italian," he said, his voice tinged with surprise. "I mean, I never saw her." The fact that Isabella's mother was nowhere to be seen had made him question her absence, but he had never considered the possibility that Isabella was adopted. The truth sunk in, leaving him with a sense of unease and a growing desire to learn more about Isabella's backstory.
Soo-min's gaze dropped to her hands, her voice heavy with sadness as she spoke. "She's no longer with us," she said, the weight of those words hanging heavily in the air. Taehyung's heart ached as he absorbed the news, sadness seeping into his soul. The sudden revelation about Isabella's adoptive mother's passing added another layer of complexity to the situation, leaving him feeling uncertain and even more compelled to understand Isabella's past.
Soo-min continued her explanation, "Samarah's mother adopted Isabella when samarah was 4, and they formed a complete, happy family. Samarah spent a lot of time with Isabella. But after one year, things took a tragic turn. Samarah's mother passed away, and I'm not sure about the exact reason behind it." Her words trailed off, leaving Taehyung with an even deeper sense of confusion and sadness.
Soo-min continued her narration, detailing the events that unfolded after the tragic loss. "After that, the family's bond weakened," she said, her tone laced with a mix of pain and resignation. "Samarah and I went to the same university, while Isabella stayed in Korea... Her past was marked by trauma, and at such a young age, she found her way into the mafia. She learned to wield guns and fought against death itself."
Soo-min continued, her voice tinged with admiration and sadness. "She has always been there to protect Uncle and Samarah...her family," she said. "My father would tell me stories about her, how she fought, the way she handled a gun. He would talk about how she never shed a tear when she got hurt."
Soo-min let out a sigh, her gaze following Taehyung's as he looked at Isabella sleeping in his arms. The weight of Isabella's past hung heavily in the air, the stark contrast between her tough exterior and the pain she had endured making Taehyung's heart ache.
Soo-min continued her narration, her voice softer as she revealed more details. "When Isabella joined the mafia, she was quite young," she said. "Around that time, she moved into her own mansion. Samarah refused to return home during vacations because she wanted to avoid Isabella. That's why Isabella relocated so that Uncle could still spend time with Samarah. And the more I know, there was another reason why she moved. She always used to avoid people, resulting in her cold demeanor."
