Nathaniel closes the jet door and comes to sit in front of me. He looks at Dasom and sighs.
"She's so innocent, she never did anything bad to deserve all of this.." He says as he looks up at me.
"Even the good people suffer, it isn't fair but we all go through it."
"Dasom told you that, huh?" He asks.
I nod and keep stroking her head. Nathaniel sighs and sits back on the seat.
"She's too precious for this cruel world." He saids.
"I know."
"Sir."
"Yes, Nathan."
He looks at me and takes a deep breathe.
"Did she tell you about what happen to her when she was 16."
"No, what is it."
"July 11. Dasom and I were supposed to meet at a bakery that was close by the school at noon. I waited and waited, she never arrived. Worry taking over me I went to go look for her. I looked for her in her house and in her hideout in the meadow. Nothing. Panic, worry and fear took over me."
I nod to what he says. He sighs and looks down.
"I got a call and I quickly answered. It was her caller ID, but it wasn't her. It was a policeman. He told me that something had happen to her and she was found in an alleyway terrified and panicking. That's all he told me, he said that I should ask her what had happen since she would speak to no one. I rushed on over to the police station. And yes, there she was sitting in an office with her head down as tears streamed down her face. She had been attacked by a group of men. They wanted to sexually abuse of her. She ran and hid in the alleyway. After that incident I didn't let her go anywhere alone. I would always pick her up from her house to go to school and take her back, I would go anywhere she wanted or needed to go. I had found out that those men were working for the North Korean government. They were told to look for her, their command was to kidnap her, but they were allowed to do anything to her. I did get very confused on why North Korea was looking for her, I still was, until she told us today about her brother."
He tells me as he rubs his hands together in thought.
That explains her sudden panic attacks..
I pat his shoulder.
"She is safe as long as she is with me and you. But mostly me."
He chuckles and nods.
"I understand. Taehyung you should get some sleep. You are going to need it." He states.
I nod and hug Dasom close. He smiles down at us and stands up to go sit with Gina. I brush some hair off of Dasom's face and peck her cheek.
My one and only love..
I hug her tight and lay my head on hers. She shifts and opens her eyes. She goes on to my lap and cuddles into my chest. I recline the seat back and wrap my arms around her small body. I can feel her smile against my chest.
"I missed laying with you." She hums out.
"So did I, my love." I reply with a smile.
She nods with sleepy eyes and slowly closes them. I stroke her hair and whisper out.
"Sleep my love."
I look out the jets window and see the midnight sky filled with diamond like stars. Unknowingly I smile as a few tears stream down out of my eyes. Happy and sad tears twinkle on my cheeks, as they roll down and hit the floor or Dasom's back. Taking a deep breath, I wipe my tears. I look down at her and choke up with more tears. I found out more things I didn't know about her life in just one day. I'm slowly starting to catch up with her past memories. The fact that she had to hide that she had an older brother, hiding from the North Korean government and she still had the courage to go to school, work and tend to herself. She didn't let that stop her from working so hard to achieve her goals. She's has got through so much. She's my brave warrior. Fighting on for her life. All she does inspires me so much. I mean, she became a model like she wanted and is studying languages major. She still studies, even in the hospital. I bring her all her homework and when she's done I turn it in. She will graduate her major in three months.
After thinking about how hard working my wife is, I soon fall sleep with a smile on my face.
"Sir. We have arrived." Nathan shakes me softly.
I nod and stretch but not to much so I won't disturb Dasom. To my surprise she is awake. She sits up on my lap.
"Good morning Hubby!" She kisses my lips and smiles.
"Morning, Love." I smile back and kiss her lips back.
She hums softly in response and I wrap her legs around my waist and stand up. Nathan and Gina wait at the jet's door and push it open. The steps to the jet come out and I stand at the door frame. I look down and see a tall man with a stretcher. He puts his hand up and waves. Sommy looks down at him and a huge smile grows on her face.
"Brother!"
