This too shall pass [K.TH FF : COMPLETED✔ ]

Chap. 4

You rushed your apartment with Taeguk's warm body in your arms.

"We're back baby. Don't worry, you're gonna be okay..." You whispered as you rubbed her back trying to soothe her. She whimpered in response.

"Stay here okay? I'll get the wet towels and medicine." You said, your voice laced with worry as you placed her on the be. Small droplets of tears in her eyes because of how unpleasant she was feeling.

"Eomma..." she whimpered as the tears escaped her eyes.

"I'm here! I'm here baby!" You cooed, trying to make her feel better. You placed the wet towel on her forehead now that she was changed into more comfortable clothes to help her fever.

Your little Petunia had been a little such since Thursday. It was a mild cold at first but as time progressed it became worse. Today was a Saturday and the bakery was quite busy so it was hard for you to keep a check on the customers as well as your daughter.

The last straw was when she came crying to you saying she didn't feel good. To your surprise she was burning with fever! You quickly picked her up and rushed out of work informing your boss about your little daughter's condition.

She whimpered once again and put her hands on your lap wanting to snuggle into you but the towel was not letting her do so.

"Baby rest here, I'll switch on the Television. Just give me some time, I'll make dinner for you so you can eat and take your medicines fast okay?"

She nodded. You kissed her cheek and rushed to the kitchen. If anyone saw you working in the kitchen at the moment, they would have thought you're a superhuman of some sort because of how fast you were trying to get things done. It pained you to see even the slightest tear escape your child's eyes.

Within fifteen minutes you were able to make somethings at least. You went to your room with the tray in your hand. Helping Taeguk sit up, you fed her lovingly and then gave her the medicines.

"Come on Taegukie. It's sleepy time!" You tried to cheer her up but inside worry was eating you away.

You placed the wet towel on her forehead once again you reduce the temperature. Caressing her head, you hummed her favorite lullaby and let her get lost in the world of dreams.

You knew sleep won't knock at your door today because of your intense anxiety problem. You always had this anxiety issue and ever since Taeguk came into your life, it's only increased since you wanted to do your best as her mother and looking after a toddler wasn't easy after all.

You had planned on staying awake through the night, taking care of your daughter. Just like you had thought, sleep didn't come to you very easily.

Through out the night you had fall asleep for 5- 10 minutes maximum, just twice. You would always wake up and check up on your princess, occasionally wetting the towel, changing the water and caressing her head as she slept.

You remembered how your mother used to do the same when you would be sick as a kid. You always wondered how she would manage to pull an all nighter like that. Now you understood. It was just a natural motherly instinct you had housed since Taeguk came.

At 6 in the morning when you were sure Taeguk's fever was low enough for you to be a little less worried.

You still weren't sure that she'll be okay as the day progresses or not so you call at the bakery and informed them about your daughter's health.

"Oh no no Y/n it's okay. I can understand your situation. Anyway if you come today you will be distracted and Taeguk won't like it as well. It's better you stay and take care of her hmm? Don't worry it's alright." Mrs. Choi said. She was an old understanding lady who was really kind and respected. You were highly grateful to her.

You laid on the bed beside Taeguk and sighed, relieved that she was okay now. You removed the towel and held her close to you as your heavy eyelids closed.

~*~

The door bell rang waking you up. You shuffled around and opened your eyes slightly to see Taeguk clinging to you. She looked like she had just woke up as well.

"Baby, I'll see who it is hmm?" you murmured and got up. You glanced at the clock as you headed for the door.

Who is it at 8 in the morning?

You opened the door and froze.

"Tae- Taehyung?" you blurted out.

"Hi...um..Good morning y/n-" he was cut off when you tried to close the door on his face. He put her foot in between the wall and the door.

"Y/n listen to me please-"

"No. Taehyung please-" you were cut off when you head an innocent whisper behind you.

"Eomma?"

You and Taehyung both instantly stopped.

You turned around to see her innocent yet confused eye looking at you, her favorite stuff toy 'Berry' the bear in her hand.

"Yes baby? Why did you come here? You should rest na?" You said as you picked her up.

"I came to see why you weren't coming but I saw you were playing with TaeTae uncle!" she giggled.

Taehyung was still at the door. Looking at your apartment that still liked the same.

"TaeTae uncle!" She clapped her hands.

"Hello princess! I heard you were sick" he said after he waved at her.

"How did you know?" you asked as you looked away forcefully.

"Your co-worker...." he said.

Your coworker? oh right. Her sister was working right now and she was a rambler.  She must have disclosed it.

Ugh now he was at your door as well. 

You let him in, not very whole heartedly and he could see that.

"What will Taeguk have for breakfast?" you asked your baby.

"Pancakes!" She giggled.

"Then Pancakes it is!" you smiled at her and placed her on the counter beside you as Taehyung stood by the kitchen door looking at the sight he had dreamed of once.

Waking up to you being happy, giggling with your child and him entering and joining in on a Sunday morning.

It's exactly what he had dreamed of. But the circumstances far away from you two being giggly and happy together.
