"I'm sorry Taeyeon."

TAEYEON POV

I watched my wife gasping for air as she tried to reached my hand, I jumped off from my peaceful seat after I called nurses and they already on their way here with the doctor, she's still a beauty in my opinion but more paler than before, I wasn't sure but she's dying. I felt my stomach dropped in an instant again when I saw blood coming out from her nose, I immediately engulfed Jessica into my warmth and longing arms of mine to at least comfort her before she leaned into my side to whisper something.

"I think my time here is up and I couldn't be able to see our kids grew up from now on so please take care of them alone without me." I felt tears trickling from my eyes as she whispered her last request into me in between her ragged breath, I tightened my embrace like I wasn't ready to let her go, not now when my kids weren't here.

"S-Sica d-don't say such things, you'll be with me forever and watch our kids marrying off until our hair turns to grey, right?" I whispered back with love not knowing she already cried silently in my arms before a soft knock came from behind us.

*knock* *knock*

"Good day Mr. Kim."

"Oh, she's beautiful than I am, Tae. You had a good taste in woman I see." I heard my wife said in between our silent tears as I turned my head seeing Tiffany opened the goddamn door, I saw her horrified look on her face as she sprinted next to me.

"Omo what happen here?" She looked more panic than me and it made Jessica chuckled while still in my arms, I didn't find it funny when my wife is dying here but instead the blonde in my hold reached Tiffany's hand and pulled her closer joining our bittersweet moments. What the hell is she doing?

"Your beautiful Miss. What's your name by the way? I think I already saw you somewhere else?" Jessica asked seriouly as she observed my secretary's face as I gently pushed my wife away and listened from their interesting conversation.

"I thought you'll never ask Mrs. Kim." Tiffany smiled back with small tears as she held my wife's hand tight.

"I'm the little girl you once helped from the orphanage you supported back then, do you remember now? I'm the shy pink freak carrying an ugly ragged rabbit doll." Tiffany explained made my wife gasped in surprise, they almost pushed me aside like a used things and they hugged each other longingly but has no idea what they're talking about, well, girl's talk.

"My father almost lose half of his inheritance but I'm grateful I still helped people whose in need more than we did and I'm happy to see you again Stephanie." My wife smiled but it fade as she coughed wildly in my arms.

"My time is running out by now so listen both of you especially you pabo." My wife glared at me while she smiled sweetly at my secretary who was all ears on her, I'm confused like hell.

"Take care of my idiot husband here, he might be stubborn sometimes but I tell you he's kind, loving and supportive man I've ever met aside from my former lover." My wife smiled sadly as she remembers Yuri, I felt she's saying her last goodbye and I had nothing to do with this heartbreaking separation but I wonder out of all beautiful woman out there, she's relying my well-being in my secretary who happens to be her favorite girl aside from our daughters, she's more like a nagging mother but my heart swells after I heard she's fine with Tiffany to be by my side.

"What are you talking about Mrs. Kim? You'll be living and staying with your family, don't say such things." Tiffany begged with her heart as she clings into my wife's arms but Jessica shook her head as she gasped for another air to breathe, she barely breathes and I watched her as she placed my hand over my secretary's warm one.

"Please for me, both of you lived happily while taking care of my loving children and I know Ethan was watching behind those doors but had no heart to see his mother dying, well mother's instinct." I looked over my shoulder and she was right I saw my eldest son's side profile failed to hide himself, I bet he's crying by now and heard all the things Jessica was saying.

"Let him be but promise me Taeyeon you'll loved them more like I love them, huh? Understand?" I nodded sadly before she kept her strong facade infront of us.

"And you Stephanie, I want my husband to have another woman to love him with all her heart aside from me because I failed to be a good wife for him, I want you to be his second wife as I saw how your eyes sparkling with love for my husband each time you spare glances at him, well, I know Taeyeon sees me inside our bedroom crying and I bet he heard everything I said back there so I needed you to be a good wife for him someday, I know you love him don't lie to me." Jessica smiled as she tucked some loosen hair behind Tiffany's redded ear, she slowly nodded in response made my eyes widen because she shyly admitted her feelings towards me infront of my wife, she's sure was a good kid listening attentively at Jessica's request but why she's pushing me to make my secretary as my wife.

"I know you're wondering why I want you to marry off again because you're such a stubborn dorky kid and I want the best for you because you gave me nothing but the best for me so I want pay them back, Tiffany here was such a sweet girl and I trusted her that she will not letting you through with this lonely night alone so I want you to be strong enough to raise our kids with her, you'll promise me my hubby?" Jessica cupped both of my cheeks as she stared at me with her pleading eyes she always used when she wanted something from me that I couldn't say no to her.

"I promise." I said while nodding at her request, I felt grateful even in her last breath she wanted me to be happy.

"Stephanie?"

"I promise Mrs. Kim." My secretary cried as she wipes her own tears away.

"Thank you and I could sleep with ease for a long time knowing everything will be better off without me." My wife leaned into my chest as she grasped again but now I think its her time.

"Sleep well honey." I embraced her as I caressed her blonde hair, I felt her breathing getting weaker and unstable as she weakly nodded against my broad chest. Surprisingly, Tiffany joined us as she leaned her head into my side arms like I was kind of a pillow but I'm loving her warm, did I say love? Well, she's starting to break my walls around my heart. I felt my wife's hand starting to loosen until it fell from her side, she loses her breath before I cried loudly holding her dearly with Tiffany by my side.
