[Third Person's POV]
"annyeonghasseyo!" the kid brightly greeted Tzuyu when she finally reached her area
Yeonwoo smiled too
Tzuyu parted her lips in surprise as she look at Yeonwoo
"is she...your kid?" Tzuyu further asked her
"yeah. Taehyung's too" Yeonwoo answered
"t-taehyung?" Tzuyu said surprisingly
"de (yes)" Yeonwoo smiled proudly then she sat on the chair in front of Tzuyu and even crossed her legs
"look, she got Taetae's nose" she further said and even traced her daughter's nose
Tzuyu stared closely at the child
The child just innocently smiled at her.
She got the same smile with her...(Yeonwoo) Tzuyu said in her mind
She stared at her more deeply
She really looks exactly like her... Where is even Taehyung's contribution? She further said confusedly in her mind
"how old... is she...?" Tzuyu asked gently
"how old are you my baby girl? *babytalking*" Yeonwoo asked cutely to her daugher
The child raised her 3 fingers from her right hand "chtreee! (three! )" she further said
3 years....She thought inside her mind. It was 3 years ago too... when that happened.... she further thought
Yeonwoo smirked as she noticed Tzuyu is spacing out
"do you remember something that happened 3 years ago?" she further asked as she smirked
Tzuyu looked at her
"what did taehyung told you when he said sorry?" Yeonwoo further teased
Tzuyu suddenly looked worriedly to the kid
"I think... Its not appropriate for the kid to hear this kind of conversation..." Tzuyu said
Yeonwoo smirked
"well right haha! Im gonna call her nanny now to fetch her here... You know.. its too hard to raise a kid without a partner" Yeonwoo said while dialing the number of their nanny on her phone
Tzuyu cant help but to feel her heart being suddenly broken as she heard her saying raising a kid without a partner. Did Taehyung abandoned them? She thought.
Then she just stared hardly to the kid and tried her best to find some Taehyung features on the child while Yeonwoo is busy calling their nanny
I really...couldnt see him... She said inside her mind again. But She's just 3 years old... Her physical appearance could still change through the years... Maybe when she got older, her nose would be more prominent like him... Tzuyu further think inside her mind.
"okay, okay, be quick, tae-yeon is crying here now" Yeonwoo said on her phone then she ended the call
"Tae-yeon?" Tzuyu repeated
"yeah, thats her name. A combination of her parent's name, cute isnt it?" Yeonwoo said as she smiled
Tzuyu tried to smile back at her but failed. She just drank a glass of water.
"Drink a lot more water, girl. You have to prepare yourself for the revelations Im gonna tell you later" Yeonwoo smirked
Tzuyu gulped and suddenly stopped drinking
She felt quite triggered and annoyed with her
"Drink a lot of water too... unnie...." she suddenly spoke gently without looking at her
"what??" Yeonwoo reacted
"You'll gonna spend more saliva later more than me.. . Im just gonna keep quiet and let you speak on our entire conversation later... You're not gonna even know whether I believe in you or not until the end... " Tzuyu further said
Yeonwoo pretended to be shocked and then she smirked
"Well alright. Just keep quiet so that you can hear the truth very well" she further said
"it doesnt matter to me anymore....My trust is too broken since then that I can't even trust the truth at all " Tzuyu responded
Yeonwoo smirked "dont act and try hard to be strong sweetie chewy, if you're not interested at the truth at all, you'll not gonna appear in front of me right now"
Tzuyu bit her lower lip. Its true, she's really just trying hard to show that she's not affected. But deep inside her, she just wanna burst into tears especially when she's looking at Taehyung's alleged child.
She just gulped and looked at Yeonwoo trying to fight and control her fragile self
"im curious about your life more actually...unnie.I wanna hear all your sufferrings after the man you desperately loved abandoned you after making you pregnant because he's more inlove with his ex" Tzuyu said that made Yeonwoo felt broken into pieces
She looked at Tzuyu almost looking like she will slap her
"Mianhaeyo... I didnt mean to say that in front of your child.... Is her nanny not coming yet?" Tzuyu asked
Yeonwoo picked up her phone angrily then she called the nanny again
"ya? Yoboseo?! Come here now, palli!(Quick!) Taeyeon wants to go home now!" she yelled at her phone while looking irritated
Tzuyu just tried to eat the food on her plate as she smirked a little without looking at her
Yeonwoo frowned at her
She was about to speak something bad to Tzuyu when the Nanny finally arrived.
"ya, why are you too late?! Taeyeon is too sleepy now!" Yeonwoo scolded their nanny
"im not shleepy mommyy" the child protested
"its already late 9 pm, you should really sleep now" Yeonwoo strictly said to her child
The child pouted and even crossed her arms while frowning in front of her mother
Yeonwoo rolled her eyes to her. "Go home now, palli! (quick!)" she further scolded her and even gestured her hand like saying 'go away'
The child made a sad face then she clinged to the Nanny's hand and began to walk away
Yeonwoo breathed heavily as she felt relieved that her child is finally going home. She further rolled her eyes as she witness her walking away with the Nanny
"brat" she further mumbled
Tzuyu stared deeply at her
"Do you hate your daughter? " Tzuyu said directly
Yeonwoo scoffed at her
"is that a question for you instead? Do you hate her cause she's Taehyung's child?" Yeonwoo smirked
"I actually pity her cause you are her mother" Tzuyu responded
Yeonwoo scoffed again
"Lucky her she looked like me. I dont want to see her bastard father's face on her!" Yeonwoo said
"Why do you suddenly hate him now?A while ago you are even proud that your daughter got her father's nose..." Tzuyu confusedly said
"who wouldnt hate him? He abandoned his child! My career got ruined because of that freakin' baby!" Yeonwoo irritatedly said
"he loves children though..." Tzuyu said as she analyze the situation more deeply
Yeonwoo smirked "You really believe he's perfect huh"
Tzuyu stared at Yeonwoo for several seconds
"He's far from perfect." Tzuyu spoke again
"Ive seen the worst sides of him. Im his girlfriend for 2 years remember?" tzuyu further said looking straightly into Yeonwoo's eyes
Yeonwoo just rolled her eyes
"you're still insisting that he couldn't do something like this " yeonwoo further said
"Im not insisting it... But his love for children cannot be denied..." Tzuyu said
Yeonwoo smirked "Well, this best side of him suddenly vanished too. If you were surprised that he cheated on you, then why cant you believe that he could do something worse than that?"
"I want to hear more details... Im not saying completely that I do not believe it..." Tzuyu said firmly
"when he apologize to you through these past 3 years, did he admit it you that he had sex with me?" Yeonwoo smirked
Tzuyu stared deeply in her eyes
"just speak... and tell me everything... Im just gonna listen..." Tzuyu said
Yeonwoo looked back at her eyes firmly
"that was almost 3 am in the morning...3 years ago.. " she spoke again "We were both drunk and he accompanied me back at the hotel... We're staying at the same hotel with his members, but he entered my room instead...."

Tzuyu is now lying on her bed but her eyes are still wide awake at she continually stares at the ceiling
She's spacing out again
Her eyes are now swelling as she still look at the ceiling

She suddenly came back to her senses as she heard her phone
She further opened her phone to see who texted her
From: 301295

Tzuyu just stared blankly on her phone while reading Taehyung's message

@Taehyung's Apartment
12:13 pm
Taehyung quickly kissed Tzuyu's lips as a greeting for her after he opened the door for her at his apartment
Tzuyu immediately looked away from him after he pecked her lips
Taehyung noticed her
"g-gwaenchana? (a-are you okay?)" he worriedly asked her
Tzuyu looked at him like she was lost
"Ne... (Yes...) im...just... hungry..." Tzuyu said in her usual soft and small voice
Taehyung patted her head and smiled a little at her. Then he further held her hand and gentlty grab her to further walk inside "kaja, (let'so go) I cooked something for you..." he further said as he carefully grabbed her hand
"you cooked?" Tzuyu surprisingly asked. She knew that her boyfriend seldom cook and if he's trying to do it, he always fail.
Taehyung bit his lower lip as he felt a little bit shy. "de.. (yes..)" he said as he scratched his nape "I asked for Jin-hyung's help... "
Tzuyu looked at the dining table and she saw how many dishes Taehyung has prepared for her.
She somehow felt pain in her heart upon seeing his effort
She unconsciously made a gloomy face
Taehyung immediately noticed her again as he keep on staring at her face since then
"you seem really... gloomy... since the start of this day... Are you alright baby?" Taehyung sincerely asked as he further squeezed her hand
Tzuyu came back to her senses then she avoided an eye contact with him
"lets...eat now..." she just said to him then she began to walk towards the dining area
Taehyung just nodded and followed her
Tzuyu gently sat down to the dining area
Taehyung just kept on staring and observing her
Tzuyu gradually picked up the chopsticks and then she started eating silently
Taehyung felt quite downhearted as he witness Tzuyu being kinda cold and too quiet as he sit infront of her.
Tzuyu continued to chew quietly
Taehyung continued to stare at her
"you seem really sad, love..." he spoke as he look at her sadly too "can you...share it to me?"
Tzuyu continued to eat without looking at him
Taehyung sighed then he stood up from his seat and transferred beside Tzuyu's seat
"baby..." he called her gently then he skimmed her hair that is covering her face and tucked it behind her ears.
"taehyung-ah..." tzuyu finally spoke but she's still not looking at him
"hmm?" Taehyung responded as he look at Tzuyu like she's a total smol baby
" what gender do you want on your first child?" Tzuyu asked
Taehyung kinda smirked
"why are you asking?" he further asked
"just answer it... Im curious" Tzuyu irritatedly said
Taehyung bit his lower lip as he felt Tzuyu's not in the mood
"well... I honestly often imagine having a 'mini me' child..." taehyung answered as he really visualized a scenario where he is running after his child
"so you wanted a son? Is that why you abandoned your first daughter?" Tzuyu said bluntly
Taehyung looked at her surprisingly
"de? (what?)" he further asked confusedly
Tzuyu looked at him straightly in his eyes
"why did you abandoned your child with Yeonwoo?" she asked directly
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion
"tzuyu-ya... what are you saying?"
"you have now a 3 year old daughter from Yeonwoo. Its the child that you made in L.A. 3 years ago. The time when you cheated on me..." Tzuyu said with obvious frustration in her eyes
Taehyung looked at her more surprisingly and confusedly
"how could we have a child? We didnt even have...sex" Taehyung said as he think of it more deeply
"I talked with Yeonwoo last night. She told me everything in details. You couldnt even tell the whole story to me in full details when you confessed that night to me remember? You said you somehow didnt even remember everything. Taehyung-ah, you didnt just slept that night, you had a magnificient sex with her! " Tzuyu bursted
Taehyung was too confused and too surprised to speak
" a-ani... aniya... (n-no... no..) " he denied
"stop looking like an innocent baby right now...you knew it all this time.." Tzuyu said looking so frustrated
"tzuyu-ya.. I am sure...we didnt do it. Suga-hyung could tell you everything" Taehyung insisted
"why can't you tell it yourself? Because you are not completely sure?" Tzuyu said sounding like challenging him
"I am sure tzuyu-ya..." he said softly while looking sincerely into her eyes "but I know you wont ever believe in me anymore since you have completely lost your trust in me... " Taehyung said downheartedly
"so maybe.. its better if someone more trustworthy for you could tell you everything... And that I think it is Suga-hyung..." he further said
Tzuyu paused for a while and took a moment to analyze things
Taehyung just stared at her still with hope in his eyes
" she told me..." Tzuyu spoke again
Taehyung listens
"that it happened...hours ago before Suga-oppa even entered the room... " Tzuyu continued
Taehyung immediately shook his head in so much disagreement as he closed his eyes
"tzuyu-ya... I am busy calling you hours before that... Do you remember? " he said
"but i failed to answer you..." tzuyu said in her broken voice
Taehyung immediately felt broken too as he heard her cracking voice
"tzuyu-ya..." he attempted to hold her hand but she spoke again
"maybe that moment... that moment I missed your call.....you began to do it..." Tzuyu continued as tears started to build up on her eyes
"ani.. (no...).." taehyung immediately disagree "it cant be... the time is too short...." he further said
"there was so much time... before you even called me..." Tzuyu insisted
Taehyung sighed as he shook his head "we can have a DNA test with that child" he further said firmly
Tzuyu sighed as she closed her eyes "Taehyung-ah... no matter what the results is..." she spoke again "Ive realized..." she gulped as she control her impending tears "our relationship could never really work again...." she said downheartedly
Taehyung closed his eyes painfully "aniyo... (no...)" he further said
Tzuyu stood up from her seat
"this is our real closure...taehyung-ssi..." she further said as she began step away from him
"ya ani..aniyo" taehyung immediately opposed as he stopped her from walking away by tightly grabbing her waist from her back and hug her
"baby please..." he gently said with his eyes sincerely close as he wrapped his arms around her waist securely by his arms while embracing her more tightly from her back
Tzuyu breathed heavily "taehyung-ah..." she spoke painfully
"being with you... means having no peace of mind forever" she further said then she forcefully removed his arms around her waist and leave his apartment
Taehyung was left alone at the dining area looking so downhearted with the dishes he prepare at the table

Severance Hospital, Seoul, South Korea, Parking Area
Inside the car:
Hands are shaking, cold sweats all around his body, heart beating rapidly more than any surprising moment in his life as Taehyung opened the envelope where the results of the DNA test is placed
His eyes immediately went down to the interpretation

"oh, congratulations Ms. Chou, you'll gonna have a baby boy" the OB-Gyne Doctor said gladly as she looked closely to the anatomical features of the fetus at the monitor while Tzuyu is lying on bed
"oh really??" Tzuyu's mom reacted happily as she heard the announcement
Now Tzuyu is having a mixed emotions right now.
Deep inside her heart, she felt something painfully breaking.
