"Y/n, are you in there? " An angelic voice can be heard from outside, you slapped yourself to stopped the crying.
The angelic voice owner was Min Hyurin, a ten years old little girl, a daughter of your now husband, Min Yoongi with his late first wife.
You walked to the door and opened it for her to come in, "Hello there, Hyurin. What are you doing this late at night? "
She looked up to you with her big eyes, "I saw daddy sleeping without you and thought that you might be here. " she glance at her dad's door then back to you.
You chuckled, "This is my own room, of course I'll be sleeping here. "
She walked inside your room and jumped up to your bed, looking at you, she said "But you're my new mommy. Why aren't you sleeping together? Isn't that what daddy and mommy should do? "
Your eyes started to became watery again, the two foot of your found it way to Hyurin, "It's complicated, darling. By the way, you should be sleeping now. You got to go to school tomorrow. "
She pouted when you mentioned about school, "I don't want to go to school. "
You chuckled while ruffling her hair. You picked her up, "But still, you must go to school. Let's go to your room, I'll tell you a story to sleep. "
She wanted to refused but you instantly walked out of the room to her bedroom. You put her down into the bed and pulled the blanket up to her chest.
"Mommy, do you love dad? " She asked you but you didn't answered and instead kissed her forehead.

A new love was about to bud, but sometimes things just didn't go with the way.
As he didn't want you as his wife, another man entered your life, wanting you as his love; but with a forceful way.
Will you surrender your love to your husband, or will you fight for it?
From the first day you saw him sitting on top of the old railcar through the chain-link fence, you felt a connection, but little did you know how it would end for you both.
What he sees in your eyes the day you meet is the same look he sees reflected in his mirror- pain, isolation, depression, and something darker.
Years later, your life's path brought you two together again, and fate started to turn. There was no way out, no way but one.

You try to hide your scars with the kitchen towel. He pulls the towel away and caresses your wrists while looking into your eyes with heartache.
"Talk to me."
You reply, "There's nothing to talk about."
Both of you knew it was a lie.
Can you trust the boy you met behind the chain-link fence with your dark secret?
In the end, will love be reason enough to live?
Is Faith and Hope enough to bring these two together?
Will the joining of their hearts and bodies be what they need to survive?

I use Grammarly ONLY as an aid in proofreading. The most it does is show me where commas should be and where 'you' should be 'your' (I have a bad habit of dropping the r, lol). It also points out where there is an extra space to remove and where I forgot to add an 'and'. It tells me Tae should be The and I say NO, It does not help me write the story or write my story for me.
