YOU'RE STILL THE ONE (BTS's V FANFIC)

40 AN INSTANT MOM

"So, I was just adopted."

Taehyung and I both turned to Taejin who is now crying. Taehyung quickly ran towards her and held her shoulders.

"Princess, that's not what you think it is."

"Then what?! What do you mean by that, daddy?" She said, crying while rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Baby girl, listen to me. No matter what happened, or will happen, you're still my daughter. Okay?" Taehyung hugged her and gently rubbed her back to calm her.

I could see how Taehyung really loves Taejin even though they're not blood related. And I could see how hurt he is to see his daughter crying.

"But where is my mom?" Taejin looked at Taehyung with her eyes pleading.

"I.. She.. Uhm..."

"Taehyung.." I interrupted and give him a go-tell-her-now and I-will-be-here look to ease his uncomfortable situation.

And so, he explained everything to Taejin. Unfortunately, Taejin remained silent and stared at him for a moment.

"Princess, I love you, okay? Daddy loves you so much that it pains me to see you cry. Don't worry, we're going to seek for your real mom and visit her if that's what you want."

That was the Taehyung that I have known. He hadn't change even a bit. He's ready to give up everything for the ones he loved. I could see it through Taejin.

I was in deep thoughts when I realized that he's already standing in front of me while carrying Taejin.

"I think we better go now, Hye. Let's just meet some other time." He said, staring at me and waiting for my response.

I nodded and began to walk towards the door to lead them out but Taejin spoke.

"I want to go out with her, Daddy."

I turned around and raised my eyebrows.

"Uh.. Princess.."

"I want to go to the park with the two of you. Hyejin-ssi?" She looks at me pleadingly so I happily nodded and said, "I'll change clothes then we go out. How about that?"

Taejin suddenly hopped off of Taehyung and ran towards me to hug me. I was taken aback but quickly got back to my senses and hug Taejin back.

A few minutes after, we got out of my house and made our way to the park.

While we were in the park, Taejin walks in between us and holds both of our hands with hers. We both look at her but she just smiled at us.

"Waaah! Ice creeeeaaaam!!" She squealed and began sprinting towards the ice cream parlor.

"Thank you for spending your spare time with her despite of your busy schedule, Hye."

"Busy what?"

"Schedule. I mean for your wedding, y'know."

"Oh. That! I already called it off."

"W--"

"Taejin's waiting for us. Let's not let her starve or we might be dead." I smiled at him and walked towards the store.

I don't wanna talk about it now..

--
"I would love to go back here with the two of you." Taejin said as she licked her ice cream.

We are now at the play ground, sitting at the swings.

"Princess, spending Hyejin's time with us is too much already." Taehyung sternly said, feeling apologetic to me.

"Well, if you want to, I'm just one call away, baby girl." I smiled at her and to Taehyung, giving him a thumbs up for her daughter's request.

"Uh.. Hyejin-ssi."

"What's that, Taejin?"

"Can I.. Uh.. Nevermind. Hehe."

"Say it." I insist.

"I was just thinking, would you mind if I call you mom?"

That question really made both Taehyung and I's jaws dropped. I haven't thought of it yet but seeing Taejin, asking for that kind of favor? Somehow, it makes me feel like I'm at fault. I was the reason why Taehyung suddenly took her as his child without having a mom, and even giving her name that has both our names there.

Why do I always make such foolish actions?! Really.. I am hurting people unintentionally. Even this kid. This innocent child beside me, who seeks for her mom's love and guidance.

What if I didn't break up with Taehyung? Maybe, he wouldn't have Taejin by his side. Or maybe, if he still adopts her, I would stand as her real mom as well. And Taejin would never feel miserable right now. And maybe.. Just maybe, she would have a happy family that she deserves. And not this kind of set up.

So, what could I do? I want to make her happy. I don't want to cause any trouble again - to Taehyung, and even to Taejin.

"Princess, you don't have to--"

"I would love to be your mom, my baby girl."

And with that, I've become an instant mom.
