MI VERDAD || TAEJIN ✔️✔️

“So, how’d she grown up?”

I twitched my lips hearing my only son, Apollo talking to his sisters Andromeda and Cassiopeia. They are talking about Taehyung’s daughter with Jimin. I don’t know how I would react or what should I do first. Do I need to be mad for myself or be mad because they made me believe that everything is okay with my family or should I be mad for my children.

“Unfortunately, You and Abi is of the same age, Apollo.” Andromeda informed her brother. I swallowed hard

“It’s … I can’t explain.” Apollo said. “With everything that’s going on within the family, Uncle Jaewhan is giving away the Head of The Family thingy, Uncle Taehyun not wanting to be the head and all –”

“He can’t be. He made it clear already that he doesn’t want to handle the business. He’s his own man but that’s not the point, the point is Appa is hurting. I know that he’s only letting us see his good side but we all know he’s not fine. He’s far from that.”

My eldest, Andromeda or Andi, stopped talking when she saw me standing near her door. My youngest daughter, Cassie stood up and gave me a hug.

“Cas, don’t cry.” Her brother told her. “What will we do, Appa?”

“Nothing.” I said. “We won’t do anything except to accept your sister.”

“Are you kidding me?” Andi stood up. “Appa, that … whoever she is, she’s going to ruin our family! I don’t like her.”

“But think of this too, Andi. She didn’t want to be in this mess. For all we know, she has no idea what really is happening around her. I know that your Auntie Jisoo is close to you but please don’t act like I raised you to be a spoiled bitch in front of me.”

I walked out. I went to our bedroom. I looked at our wedding picture that is placed on the bedside table. How long has it been? Almost thirty years …

Meanwhile me and Jimin’s friendship lasts for almost 40 years. I sighed. I don’t know how much heavy my heart is right now. I can’t find anything positive in this situation. Is there really a positive side in this? I don’t think so. I think there’s none.

I couldn’t help it anymore. My tears suddenly fell. My shoulders were shaking. I can’t do this. I grabbed the pillow and hugged it tight. I let my whole being get filled with the pain because of the words Jimin told me earlier. I don’t even know where Taehyung is. Whether him or Jimin already finished talking, I don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to talk to him right now.

But it won’t be right to run from my problems. I was never a runner. I want to fix things and if that means accepting Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin’s love child just to be okay again, I’ll do it. First of all, the child is innocent here.

“Jin …”

My back stiffened when I heard Taehyung’s voice. I felt the bed got occupied by his presence. Taehyung sat beside me. I know his smell very well. I wiped my tears and looked at him.

“I will explain.” He said.

“You like it when you did that with him? You still love him?” He cupped my face.

“I don’t love him.” He said in a whisper. “You know that I don’t love him. I already told you that before and my answer to that question won’t change. I don’t love him. I did loved him but when you came in my life it changed, Seokjin. I don’t love him anymore, Seokjin. It’s you that I love and right now, I am so scared because I feel like everything around us is about to shatter to million pieces and I can’t have that … I can’t lose you …”
