Elongating your hands around his neck as you rested your chin over his shoulder while he propped his other hand over your back and patted your ribcage occasionally helping you to calm your uneven breath which was getting unstable by passing seconds, "It's okay. Simmer down."

Fondling his palm over your tresses, "Was it my fault? I didn't even know what I did." You wept, clutching over his neck while the material of his shirt was damped, but it was the last thing to care about, "Shh... You were just a child and it was not at all your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault." Taehyung said against your ear.

You bawled while hiccuping as he stroked your back, "She didn't die because of you. It was just the situation." He whispered soothing words as you gulped down the lump in your throat, "Your dad couldn't understand you." He said as your hiccups halted after minutes of him consoling you.

He could feel your heartbeat which was accelerating and pounding against his chest, calming down while he adjusted your chin over his shoulder, stroking your back, "Sometimes it isn't anyone's fault, it's destiny which goes the way it wants and no one can stop it. It would reach its destination in one way or the other." Thinking of Ari, Taehyung orbs glistened as he gulped down a lump in his burning throat.

Giving a pause, Taehyung stroked your tresses through his slender fingers before continuing, "You have to accept the reality, you are really strong and a valiant girl. Your mother would have been proud of you if she would have been here." Taehyung whispered, emphasizing each and every word which came out of his mouth.

You sniffled listening to his talks which was applicable in everyone's life and both of yours. Stabilizing your breath as your crying stopped, a minute went by with the serenity and tranquility as you both simmer yourself feeling the warmth in each other's embrace which you both were craving for since long.

Retreating yourself back after coming out of your reveries, the propinquity between you two didn't go unnoticed by either of you. You slipped out your hand from his neck and shoulder as he drew himself back, leaving your back and head. Taehyung took in a deep breath, looking away trying to blink his watery orbs.

He cleared his throat while you wiped off your almost dried tears. Taehyung raised his feet as you took a glance at him and watched him stooping down to the bedside table before pouring out half a glass of water, "Here, drink it."

You took a hold on the glass as he let it go and you drank it while he said, "I will go now. Take care." You heard him muttering and watched him turn around to leave the room as you whispered, "Thank you...." He halted his steps hearing your voice, "For staying with me at my worst." You completed as you watched him nodding his head, he sauntered out of your room without taking a glance back.

"He is not cold, he is just hurt. He has been enduring the pain of his wife's death." You thought, prior to whispering, "I can understand how it feels to lose someone whom you love the most but the difference is that, I couldn't even meet that person for once." You placed the glass of water on the bedside table letting out a sigh while your heartbeat was stabilizing but your mind wasn't.

Trying to push the thoughts away, you raised your feet to amble towards the bathroom. Tracing your fingers on the material of your dress, you removed it while looking at yourself in the mirror when your eyes went on the marks over your wrist as you skimmed the pad of your thumb over your mellow skin, the scenario of Taehyung asking for your hand gushed in your mind, "Come with me."

In contrast, the hot water gushed down his mellow skin as he ran his slender fingers through his drenched locks while the fluid ran down his sharp jaw with his eyes closed, he let out a sigh as the water sloshed down to his abdominal muscles.

The day was already hectic and cherry on the top was your father, "I have to talk about this with dad. I won't let Mr. Choi go this easily." Taehyung whispered, turning off the shower and draping himself with the spruce bathrobe, sauntering out of the bathroom into his walking closet.

Donning in the satin Prussian nightwear, Taehyung ruffled his locks with the hand towel as he chucked it off into the laundry basket placed in the corner of the walking closet, "I intend her to be okay." He said walking to his bedroom before taking a seat on his office chair placed in the further end of the room.

Opening his laptop, Taehyung bit down his lower lip clamping in between his teeth as he sighed before shutting it down and hindering his face inside his palms, sucking in his teeth, "You know what, I should sleep." He muttered under his breath before sauntering towards his bed and slipping out his slippers.

Laying on the mattress while staring at the cream ceiling, the duvet covering his torso as today's scenario was playing over like a loop in his head, "Did she sleep?" He muttered under his breath before turning off the lamps, "Just sleep, she will be alright." He sighed, deeply before closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, you stared at the ceiling blankly but your mind wasn't in the right state. The desire to cry was knocking you again and again but the comforting words that Taehyung whispered in your ears were counting over the emotion making it easy for you to hold back your tears, "Why is he so good?" You whispered, tossing around as you gazed out of the window in the murky room with a lamp on gleaming amber rays.

You blinked, "He has changed. Ever since the first day of marriage and today, there has been a huge difference in him." You declared while closing your eyes as the sleep consumed you.

-------

The sun shimmered inside your room penetrating through the window as you were donning yourself in a thin lilac turtleneck and blue jeans before coming out of the walking closet. Rubbing your eyes with the back of your fingers, you made your way out of your room.

Sauntering down the stairs, you heard a voice, "Good morning, Mrs. Kim." You smiled at her, "Good morning." She reciprocated your smile with a bigger one as she made her way to you, leaving the vacuum cleaner on the stand. "How was the party yesterday?" The smile over your visage disappeared thinking about the night, as you took a glance over your wrist hindered inside the material of the sleeves of the turtleneck.

"Was it? You are looking tired, Mrs. Kim." You came out of your reverie and twitched your orbs to look at her once again, "Yeah! I couldn't sleep well. That's all." You explained making her nod, "Should I make you a cup of coffee?" Mrs. Daisy asked while gazing at your visage.

Your lips curved upwards, "No, you can do your work. I will prepare breakfast." She looked at you with the denying orbs but you assured her, "Don't worry. I will make it." You grinned as she nodded, sauntering back to do her work while you made your way to the kitchen.

Pulling your sleeves up with the tip of your fingertips you started preparing the dishes for breakfast. You took out the veggies from the fridge with the eggs before starting chopping the vegetables, "I hope he likes it." You whispered, gulping down and letting out a sigh.

Half an hour elapsed as you placed the dishes on the plates when Taehyung got down the stairs in his space blue colored suit jacket with the pants and navy blue wingtip shoes.

Holding onto his phone while the bright screen gleamed in his orbs as he scrolled through his schedule for today when he twitched his gaze to the surrounding and in search for the certain one.

His eyes caught Mrs. Daisy was working in the further end of the lounge when he stepped down on the floor.

Mrs. Daisy turned off the vacuum as she heard him stepping down on the tiled floor. She looked at Taehyung with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Kim." She greeted as he answered, "Good morning. You are here..." He looked at her with befuddlement in her orbs.

Mrs. Daisy nodded, "Yes, actually Mrs. Kim asked me to work here till she prepares breakfast." She deciphered while Taehyung's eyes squinted and eyes furrowed, "I have told her not to work." He clicked his tongue before licking his lower lips and nodding, "You can do your work." He declared before striding towards the kitchen.

He caught sight of your physique placing the dish over the plate as he halted his steps over the threshold of the kitchen before tracing his orbs all over your frame and then the dishes. The mild smile on your dainty lips didn't go unnoticed by him.

He couldn't let your smile go off his orbs, he can't deny that the way your lips curved upwards over the smallest and the purest things of everyday life attracts him in a way and he couldn't move his globes anywhere else other than that smile of yours, it's gravitating in a way that someone can't hold himself back from staring at it especially him.

Taehyung's orbs traveled over your eyes which were a bit swollen and worn out, "She didn't sleep well last night. I could have checked upon her.... But even if I did, I couldn't have done anything." Your marks were alright and faded, almost not visible from the distance he was propped.

You twitched your head up when you discerned Taehyung gazing at you, your orbs met him. He instantly tore the gaze apart from you trying to look somewhere else but not you, "Oh! You are here." You said as he looked back at you as you greeted him, "Good morning."

"Good morning." His voice sounded a bit hoarse but not rude and more softer than he thought he would say it, taking him by surprise but your locked orbs didn't let him go in that direction and the smile which again appeared on your visage after hearing him respond.

Taking steps closer to you, he sauntered towards the kitchen island where you were standing across as he muttered, "I told you not to trouble yourself." Putting the glass right, which was placed upside down as he poured the water inside it from the jug, filling it half.

You spoke, "Mrs. Daisy was working so I thought of making breakfast." You took the plate in both of your hands before walking to the further end of the kitchen island where he stood across gulping down the sips of water and leaving it quarter as his orbs traveling onto your wrist, searching up for the ruddy marks which wasn't a cut above as you pulled your sleeves down to the wrist after placing the dishes on the island.

He looked at the dishes with the fine plating, "I made steamed egg. Is it okay with you or you wanna eat something else-" He cut you off saying, "No, it's fine." He looked at you placing the glass back on the slab. Taking a seat over the high stool placed alongside the kitchen island followed by you.

Taehyung got a hold on the spoon while you were taking glances at him when he took a bite and you followed him.

Waiting for his response you glanced at him again when he took another bite, "It's good." Taehyung said, "I am glad that you liked it." You whispered taking a bite and the whole breakfast was silent while you both took glances at each other.

Placing the spoon in the empty plate bowl, Taehyung wiped off his lips with a tissue paper, "Take some rest. You seem tired." Taehyung muttered, making you look at him as he got up from the high stool.

Your heart skipped a beat at his sentence as you raised your feet from the stool. You parted your lips to speak something when you heard the doorbell ringing.

"What's the date today?" Taehyung asked as you answered, "It's the 8th." Taehyung and you walked out of the kitchen as he said, "Dad is coming back today, it just totally slipped out of my mind. But he would be here in evenfall, then who can it be?" Watching Mrs. Daisy opening the door, you both looking at the physique holding onto a bag in his left hand when you discerned the visage of the person, "Oh! Oppa." You exclaimed.
