A Blank Slate II Completed

Chapter 31

Yo, like I attached the video because as I was working on this like I saw stray kids had something new and y'all, they are being rude. Hahaha watch it but beware you may have extreme fangirling. Also, once again, shout out to my quotev peeps! You guys are what keeps me going. So I'll let you know a few things about myself as a person.

My actual nickname is bugs

Chanyeol from EXO will always be my first and ultimate bias. He was my first ever bias and I love him to bits ever since he sang Creep from Radiohead which fyi, I love alternative music and that boy just snatched my heart.

Chanyeol is apart of my handle I created when I first started writing fanfics.

Bts was the third boy group i got into when they first came out with no more dream.

Kinda hope one day Bighit takes my silent brainwaves and will do something fun for us fans that pay homage to the old days, like maybe watch their old mvs or dress up in all the old bandanas outfits. Would be the thing that would make my day.

Okay, enough about me, onto the story now!

Sitting and staring at the dark stained wood of my dining room table, I wait for the minutes to tick by till Taehyung comes. He had messaged me earlier that he wants to come and talk at 8 this evening. I had already put Mason to bed at 730 after Lee had dropped him off earlier, and managed to finish my dinner, unable to taste any of it as my thoughts race over the upcoming meeting. I wondered what we will get to tonight, what wounds will reopen and what new ones will be cut by words. What will we be doing after this, will we be okay, will we leave angrier and hurt like last time? Will Mason have his father in his life or will he be left again?

I'm not even sure about what I am doing. Why did I agree to this? Am I ready to do this? Do I think I can handle it?

Can I?

That is the problem. I'm not even sure I can do this. Maybe it isn't taehyung who is scared, maybe its...

"Me?" I whisper aloud as I contemplate on my revelation. But before I can delve too deeply, the doorbell rings.

Standing quickly, the chair makes a loud creaking sound as it scrapes across the floor. Wincing, I move to walk through the hall to front doorway.

I stop as I stare at the darkwood in front of me. My hand outstretched to open the door handle. My heart is hammering in my chest as I breath through my sudden panic. Gulping in air, I push through and finally grasp the cool metal and open the door.

Suddenly as I make eye contact with Taehyung, I feel warmth start to fill my eyes, an odd stinging as I suddenly feel overwhelmed. And a sob breaks through my lips.

Taehyung's face changes instantly from a bright smile to one of concern as he inches forward, but I take a step back. He frowns at this.

"Rose, what's wrong? Did something happen?" The concern in his voice caused a dam to break as the tears break away from my eyes and I let the feeling that I've been too afraid to face till now.

"I-I'm scared." I says this in a whisper. That's what it is, that is what had me running from Korea instead of waiting for Taehyung to adjust to the news. To the reason why even now, I don't let anyone of the opposite sex close to me. Why I got so mad when I saw him again. I'm scared.

With those words, a look crosses his face. And before I know it. He has me in his arms, pushing me inside and closing the door with his foot. Pushing till I'm against the wall. His arms around my waist and my face against his neck. My arms are thrown around his neck as I cry out the emotions I've locked inside of my heart the moment I found out I was pregnant.

One hand is pressing my lower back into him and the other is caressing my hair. The way he used to hold me when we first started dating.

"You can be scared Rose. You can be afraid, but just know that I'm here. I'm here to hold you, to stand up for you, to be the one you can entrust your heart to." He pulls back and puts his hands on my check and I look up at him with watery eyes. "Because I'm the only one who can love you the way you need to be loved. And I'm sorry about leaving you the first time, for leaving you alone, to have to go through giving birth to our son all alone. But know this, I'm not running anymore. That I'm here now, ready to fight for you, us, and our son. So all I'm asking Rose, is to trust me. Trust I'll be here and that you can depend on me."

And with those words, the tears stopped, the world itself felt like it stopped, as I take in his words.

Breathing in deeply, I cup his cheeks and stare back into those eyes. The eyes that tethered my heart to his the very first day we met. Leaning closer, I finally say the words that free me of all the things I have been holding back.

"Okay, I trust you." And without a pause, our lips crashed together and we melted together like chocolate and cream for this was the sweetest kiss we have had yet.

Author: so Rose finally let go. When I think of her character and all the things she went through, the fear of it all would be so overwhelming that trusting others would be hard. Don't forget to:
