Blood Brothers

46 | SWEET ENDINGS

"You want to move out of the country?" Taehyung follows me to my bedroom after having put Haeun to bed. "What about Haeun?"

"She's coming too," I say. What's a child without her mother? A newborn at that. I put my bag away and take off my coat.

"What about me?" He asks.

I unzip my dress and when it doesn't budge, Taehyung naturally helps me. He places one hand on my bare shoulder and the other unzips my dress until it stops at my hips. He watches as I slip out of my dress, eyes never leaving my body. "What about you?"

"Am I supposed to fly to a different country everyday just to see my daughter?" He scoffs. "You're being ridiculous."

"You said I can live wherever I want and do as I please," I reminded him. "And I want this," I tilt his face up to look at my face. "Can you allow this, for me?"

He hugs me for the first time in months and suddenly I don't feel the need to go anywhere. The possibility of him packing up everything and going with me sounded sweet, but I knew it was impossible. His business was here, his life was here.

"How long?"

I shrug my shoulders. "A few years, maybe." Until I finished graduate school would I reconsider moving back to South Korea. Maybe if I actually got my shit together I wouldn't feel so stuck and unmotivated. "You can come visit whenever you want."

Like I said- it wasn't in my intentions to pry Haeun away from Taehyung. The circumstances just didn't allow for us to be together, not if Taehyung decides to reside here forever. I knew that it wasn't his choice to make so it was difficult for us both.

It was decided from that moment that if things were meant to be between us two, it'd naturally happen. If I managed to love Taehyung after all that we've been through, I'll be able to do so even if we were so far apart. But throughout the next four years, things haven't changed even the slightest bit. We were distant and straying further from one another, only brought together when Haeun needed it most.

She grew to be so lovely, captivating both of our hearts. She was my best friend, my daughter, my one true love, and everything I wanted in the world. She was his light, his reason for living- he didn't need me anymore.

Taehyung will always be the man I love and Jungkook would always be my first everything.

They taught me love.

And in that, how to love myself. And more than anything, I wanted to get away from that intoxicating lifestyle. I wanted life to be different for my daughter than it was for me.

So I never went back to South Korea.

And I never went back to Taehyung.

THE END

THANK YOU FOR READING!!

I never thought I'd finish this story because I have a tendency to come up with so many new ideas and lose interest so quick. But WOW, this really came SO far!

Thank you x100 for reading!

I actually have an idea for a sequel but I don't know whether or not I should continue this story or just move on- so it's still up for discussion.

Maybe I'll just continue it and add on more chapters, who knows.

But as for now,

Thank you for reading Blood Brothers! ❤️
