Falling backwards unto the couch, Taehyung felt heartbroken as the tears begun to make their appearance slowly sliding down his cheeks as he tried to calm down his breathing, this wasn't it, this wasn't how it was supposed to go he knew it, he knew that this time he had fucked up. He knew it in the way his hand tightened around the small sheet of paper he had found on the living room table, knew that he had only made thing's worse as his hand crushed the paper he was holding, knew it in the way his heart had completely dropped at the words you had printed on the paper, knew it in the way his ears had started ringing.

He knew it. But he couldn't believe it.

In his mind Taehyung had thought that thing's would go back to normal, thought that when he got home from work that the two of you could at least talk about it, he didnt think that the last time he saw you, that the last time he had spoken to you would've been the very last time he'd ever get to see your smile, he didn't know what had come over him, it's been weeks maybe a few months, since Jimin had started working as a Dance Teacher at the school he worked and Taehyung didn't know why he had gotten so angry, so jealous when he had seen that smug ass look on his face when their eyes had met at the teacher's lounge as the principle introduced him to everyone.

It had been two years with not so much as a whistle from Jimin, so why was it that as soon as Ari showed up, Jimin hadn't been too far behind her, why, why did it had to be now that they had decided to force their way back into your lives, now when Taehyung had finally came to the conclusion of wanting to have kids with you.

That night when he had came home he had wanted to bring up the topic with you, wanted to hear your take on it, he was gonna wait until you had spoken about your day before he decided to tell you about his, that day he had seen one of his co-workers leaving work only to be met by the door by their loving wife and a small bundle of joy, at that Taehyung had smiled so brightly, his heart warming at the sight.

He wanted that. Wanted to have that with you. To have you bare his children. He had wanted to raise a child of your own together.

But after you had started talking about Jimin and Ari, about Ari having a baby, about it not being Jimin's. His whole mood had plummeted seeing the small smile that had graced your lips at your words and to him that was a sign that maybe, just maybe you hadn't forgotten about Jimin. That maybe you still loved him and the fact that you had never spoken those words to him, those three little words that he so desperately needed to hear.

Had caused everything to spiral out of control.

And now as he sat there on the couch head thrown back on the couch top, the feeling of regret washed over him, he needed to fix this, he needed to make thing's right with you. Talk things out.  But even so he knew that maybe this was for the best, maybe some time apart would give you both a chance to breathe, maybe it would give you both some leverage, sometime to decide what you really wanted, he'd decided to give you your space and no matter the outcome, he'd always be there for you, always support you.

Always love you.

But even so, even if he had made up his mind on the matter, it didn't mean that he would stop fighting for you, didn't mean that it didn't hurt him to do this, didn't mean that he didn't care, it just meant that he loved you enough to let you make your own decision, loved you enough to let you go, even if you decided that the person you wanted wasn't him anymore.

He wondered quietly to himself if you felt the same way.

It's been approximately a couple of weeks now since you'd left home, since you'd decided to take matters into your own hands, Taehyung calls your parents house once a week to make sure you're doing ok, to make sure you're fine. He doesn't call to speak to you, instead he speaks to your Mom or Dad. From how things were going you knew that he was just giving you the space you asked for, you knew but it still hurt to know that he hadn't once called or texted your phone for the first few days that you were away.

You were starting to think that maybe this was the end, that maybe this had been the final road of your life together but it wasn't, it was just that the road had come to a desolate dead end, that you just needed to drive backwards and take a different route in order to make things better but for now you were at a stand still and maybe it was for the best.

"Hey sweetheart, are you doing ok?"

You heard your Mom say as she sat beside you on the couch, nodding your head a little you just let out a sigh, alright maybe you weren't as ok as you claimed to be but it was better than admitting the truth and making your Mom worry more than she has to, it was just.....well easier to lie about the way you feel than to actually explain to someone the turmoil that was brewing in your mind and making its way to your heart, making you feel like you were drowning and that there was no escape, no way to float to the top, no way to keep your head above water it was just easier to lie.

"I'm fine Mom, don't worry i'll be fine you just go spend time with Dad, i know you guy's haven't been on a date in a while"

You said smiling softly at her, although your Mother didn't believe you she decided that it was best to leave you to yourself for bit, kissing you lightly on the cheek, she told you that they'll be gone for the night, that they won't be back until tomorrow and that your sister might be stopping by later to check on you. You just said ok and kissed her on the cheek good bye, a grin immediately adorning your face at the thought of seeing your sister, you knew that since she'd be coming over she'll be bringing her kids with her and honestly you couldn't wait to play with the little ones.
