Don't Hate Me but Please Love Me (ChanBaek)

Chapter 10- Mother Knows Best

Mrs. Byun's POV

My gut feeling is telling me something and 99% it is right. I don't know but looking at this young man I'm having a weird feeling. I glanced at Taehye they look the same as if they are father and daughter. I asked him about his job and where he graduated. I held my breath when he said he graduated from Yonsei university, the same school where my Baekkie went and they were on the same batch as well. I refrain to ask him if they knew each other. I better consult this first with my son. I know how sensitive Baekkie have become after he found out about his capability to conceive. He even changed his attitude from being a diva to a quiet person. He became more mature, sensitive and careful about his decisions. I never had any problem with him that even when he got pregnant he was still able to pull up himself and did his best to prove to us that he can still be successful. I am very proud of my son.

Mom and Taehye arrived late in the evening. Taehye was asleep so I have to carry her to her bedroom. As we enter her room Taehye woke up.
"Papa you know what, we met an ahjussi. He is very tall and handsome. He has brown eyes and also has this big ears like mine." Taehye giggled as she pulls her ears up.

My hands was stranded mid air holding her toothbrush. I was frozen for a moment and a vision of one person comes to my mind who perfectly suit the description. Just in time my mom is already standing at the doorstep. I looked at her way and she nods her head. "Taehye accidentally bumped into him and he treated us with ice cream."

"By the way his name is Park Chan Yeol and he also went to the same university you did," my mom said as she is trying to insinuate something. I know she already have an idea.

I don't know where to look as if  time is playing a trick on me. Everything has been okay, me and Taehye, but now my secret is gradually revealing.

I told Taehye to take a bath, brush her teeth, change into her pajamas and go to bed. I went downstairs to follow my mom. This is going to be a long night for me.

Kyungsoo is not yet home. He called awhile ago that he and Kai will be going out for dinner. I know something is fishy going on between those two. Kai and Soo met in one of the recent convention they attended. Though they still keep in touch through mails it was the first time they see each other again after so many years.

As I sat down on the couch my mom sits beside me. She holds my hand and let go a sigh, "Son it has been so long and your Dad and I only asked you one time if who was the father of Taehye but you never told us. We didn't pressure you at that time because of your condition but years have passed already and Taehye is growing up so fast. She is a very bright child, she has the right to know her father as well."

"I know Mom but I am a guy and it is not easy to just admit to him that I gave birth to her daughter. I am afraid he won't accept us. That he will reject me or Taehye. It was an accident Mom, it was just one night. I have faced a lot of questioning look and other people judge me because I am a guy who is pregnant even those people who worked in my own company talks behind my back. I am a freak!" I am starting to be hysterical and tears started to pour. There are lots of thoughts and fears that I have inside me that I locked up because I don't want to break down. I have to keep my sanity.

"I understand you son. I am your mother, your hurt and pain is mine as well. I have spent some time with Chan Yeol and I can sense that he is a good person. Why not try to tell him, if he won't accept Taehye remember we are here for you. We will always be here for you. Your daughter needs to know so as Chan Yeol. You have to face him. Don't cross the bridge until you come to it. Do not have any regrets in life, so that someday you will have no "ifs, buts and what if"," my mom hugged me and patted my back to give me encouragement.

That night I am in deep thoughts of my situation. I prayed for guidance for the next steps I will have to take. My mother is right I have to face this and have the courage to tell him about me and Taehye. Whatever the result I just have to brace myself and move on.

This chapter is my tribute to all mothers around the world.

Oooowww Mommy Byun is right. Her words are the exact words my mom tells me everytime I face a problem. Truly our mother is our best confidante and they always know what is best for us.

Advance Happy Mother's day to all moms out there😊
