"This too shall pass" you sigh while picking up the torn envelope that you had fervently made for your husband.

An envelope that once contained words you couldn't muster to speak to him.
Words which you thought would help bolster your relationship.
Words you thought would bring about joy in your deserted house.
Words which would help you two realize that this marriage is actually worth something.
Words which would fix everything, to say the least.

But alas, sometimes things don't turn out the way as planned .....

You neatly tape the envelope. You just wanted to read it out loud to yourself one last time before burning it down into nothingness.
You just wanted to see where you did wrong.
You slowly pace towards the balcony of your old apartment.
The same apartment from where your husband had asked for your hand in marriage.
The same hand he had owned by putting a ring.
The same hand he had kissed uncountable times just to express how much he loves you.

'Loves you'.... You chuckle at the thought.
Its a lie y/n.... This world isn't meant for a sweet, innocent girl like yourself. Well that's what your mom used to say before you got married, she knew you more than anyone else could ever have or do actually.....

You bite your lips and carefully sit on the rocking chair. The view beset you was splendid. You've always enjoyed this view that your balcony gives you at this hour, the view wherein the daylight bleeds itself into dusk.

Your hands heedfully unfold the envelope which reads,
"I'm writing this down because it's something I can't really express in words. We've been trying our very best to resolve the now broken bond between us. I hope this time it'll work due to another addition that we'll be having around soon."

You read and a few tear drops cover your handwriting making the ink of the gel pen spill a little.
What do you even care if it's unreadable now.
The one for whom it was meant torn it apart in your face and left you hanging in your old apartment with your baby, which now nestles inside your womb, unaware of the cruel world outside, just resting, growing little by little everyday ensuring it's eomma that he's doing well.

*Flashback*

"What's all this?" Taehyung asks you while trying to understand the words you had put with your soul into that letter. The letter you had immediately written right after you had come back home from clinic to give your husband this exciting news.

"We are going to be parents tae.... I'm pregnant" you say while trying your very best to put a smiling face. You just wanted your husband to get assured that you two are in this together and everything is just going to be like how it used to be.... Before you two were entangled in your own world of misunderstandings.

He looks at your face and reads your expressions.
He frowns and goes through the letter again before tearing it down into two.

You gasp as soon as you realize what he's doing, "wh...what's wrong?" You ask

He comes near you and takes your hand. He places the torn pieces into your palms, not caring about the amount of tears you were shearing I'm the process
"Sometimes some things just can't be put back together y/n. Some things can never be fixed. Two broken pieces can't make a lot of anything anymore. We are too broken to be fixed" he whispers giving you chills

You knew your bond was on loose ends but him reacting this way.... to such news was the least thing you expected from him.

You wipe the tears but fail as more tears fall off. You check for his face and witness his eyes getting wet as well.
Why Kim taehyung why? Why do you have to be so stubborn.
Only if you weren't caught flirting with one of his colleagues during one of his office parties, this wouldn't have happened. You were guilty and you knew it. You did get disloyal and you regretted it.... Regretted to an extent that you even decided to commit suicide if you don't get taehyung's forgiveness.
But you did get his forgiveness. Of course he forgave you..... That's all he could do, nothing more than that. Which served as the worst punishment you could have ever gotten..... Being aloof from your beloved

He starts walking away but you call out his name in a shaky voice, "Just because something doesn't go what you planned doesn't mean it's useless, you know" you say while holding your tummy, which of course was still flat.

"We've made many reckless decisions Kim taehyung and I'm not afraid of making one more" without saying anything more you left.
And he let you leave.

That was when you realized how it feels to love someone more than they deserve and they hurt you more than you deserve.

~~~~~~~end of flashback~~~~~~~~~~

One thing is sure, if you want to, you can find a million reasons to hate life and be angry but if you want to you can find million reasons more to love life and be happy with what you have.
You chose what made you happy, you chose the gift that taehyung gave you before you left that house about a week ago.
"I guess I made the wise decision baby" you sniff and speak to your womb, "please tell eomma that she made a wise choice. I have no one except you baby. No one" more tears threaten to fall your face as you reflect upon your own words.
You crumble the already wasted paper and aim it towards the dustbin kept near the drawer. You heart clenches as you see it land inside the bin.

"This too shall pass, baby. Let's love each other till eternity" you whisper to your tummy whilst constantly caressing it.
