My Awful Girl || KTH ||

     He gestured me to enter the house, so I did. Once I entered, I looked around and finally realised how much I missed all of these. How his furnitures were still in the same arrangements and how it smelt much more like him.

     Literally feeling like it was my own home, I ambled to the couch that I missed a lot and flopped there happily. Taehyung took a seat beside me while his eyes not looking away from me.

     " So...missing home?" He asked with wonder in his face, like he knew how my heart was screaming when I stepped into our memorable place.

     " I'm not done yet with you. I just... couldn't understand why did he give you this?" I showed the small book in my hand that was forced into my pocket by him before we left the hospital.

     I could see him tensed up from my question and a huff escaped his mouth.

     " Snow...like I said. At first, he thought I am some crazy bastard who want money so he gave a lot to me to make me leave. I couldn't even reject it. He was practicallly forcing me into it.

Next, when he realised something about me, he didn't stop paying me but for other purpose, which is to take very good care of you. But...trust me, it was after I started to confess to you.

And your stepmom Haera, she knew about my plan, some of it. I don't know how but as I realised there was this one particular maid that kept on spying on us, I knew I had to be more careful. I got proves and even need to follow and stalk her.

So, I got the proves and gave them to your dad. He trusted me and even tried to see the truth himself. At last he did. And he divorced her, kicked her out of the house," he said energetically until I forgot how sick he was. I shrugged, feeling like a fool.

     I could tell he wasn't lying. His eyes told the truth. They always did. It was just me who was always being a complete idiot to not trust him.

     " How can I even hear those stories?" I mumbled regretfully, feeling a huge grief in my heart along with a clenching pain. How could I even doubted his love for me?

     " Snow...all I think when I get the money was, it's nothing without you by my side. So, I gave it all to you as it was your father's. I thought you may need them more.

I know you are rich enough and I couldn't afford those wealth that you had been living with to give it to you. But...maybe if one day you need money, well you can use that. You know, like a savings," how could he be this sweet?

     He was cruel to make me drenched with tears all over again. For the nth times already.

     " Hey, my Precious Snow..don't cry..." He touched my shoulder softly and caressed it.

     " So, why didn't you tell me about your real parents?" I blurted out kind of out of sudden. I had to know everything this instant. That was how unpatient I am. He looked a bit taken aback and shocked.

     " Y-you know?" He stuttered and his eyes held some other kind of fears.

     " Yes," I blinked at him, not hesitating to admit. I thought of myself as a bipolar. One moment I was crying and by the next I was interrogating him.

     " But how?" He ceased his forehead, asking for an understatement.

     " Kim Taehyung, it doesn't matter where or how I know. The matter is why you didn't tell me in the first place if you think of me as someone important to you," his eyes quivered as soon as I talked back. He looked like a guilty puppy and his eyes were watery. Why?
