Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 42

"..and you know what Mama, teacher said Tim and I get to participate during the school's graduation day... I'll be singing the school's hymn while Tim has a dance number."

Jiyong can hear Kim while she excitedly told stories about their day in school. They're probably talking to Dara in a video chat.

"I'm so excited to see you both perform on stage."

"Mama?"

"Hmm?"

"You're crying again." It was Tim.

"I'm sorry baby... I just wanna see you both right now."

"Don't cry, Mama." Kim's voice changed.

"I'm sorry baby... Mama's just tired and I'm missing you badly."

Jiyong didn't waste any more time. He wanted to see Dara, too. He stepped inside the playroom.

"Papa." The twins ran towards him and gave him a hug.

He guided the twins back to the couch that's right in front of the laptop that their using in talking to their Mama.

He saw Dara immediately wiped her tears after seeing him.

"How are you?" He asked awkwardly, Kim on his lap while Tim's arms were placed on his other thigh.

"Just fine." She forced a smile.

It was a surprise for her to see him while talking to the kids.

Just seeing Jiyong made her eyes water again. She looked up the ceiling and held the bridge of her nose.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Jiyong..." She was about to say she can't but got interrupted when she heard Jiyong called the twins' Nannies.

"Lily, Anne, please bring the kids to their room now." Jiyong commanded.

"Papa..." Kim and Tim complained.

"Mama and I need to talk... Say goodnight to her."

"Are we gonna talk to her again tomorrow?"

"Yes, baby. You'll be able to talk to Mama again."

Tim nodded to her sister. "Goodnight, Mama."

Kim pouted.

"Say good night to Mama, Kim." Tim said in a strict voice.

"Owkey." She crossed her arms on her chest but changed her expression while facing Dara. She was all smile while waving her hand. "Good night, Mama... I love you."

Tim also peeped back at the monitor and gave her a flying kiss. "Talk to you again tomorrow, Mama. We love you."

"I love you both. Sweet dreams and sleep tight." She smiled a little.

Jiyong stood up and walked the twins to the door before sitting back at the couch, in front of the laptop monitor.

Dara played with her fingers and looked down. She couldn't look at Jiyong. It reminds her of the pain.

"Dara, I'm sorry if I walked out during our conversation back there in Japan... I really just got jealous after seeing you with that guy."

Dara quickly wiped the tears that escaped her eyes. She was sniffing.

"Dara, please talk to me." He pleaded.

She raised her head and Jiyong saw her cheeks that were drenched in her tears.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry." He apologized.

"I'm fine, Ji." She said, biting her lower lip. "I'll be fine... I have to be fine."
