HE USED TO LOVE ME..
Eunho and his daughter spent a very good afternoon together and at evening, he brought her back to Taehyung as he promised after the dinner.
EH: Thank you for letting me spending time with her today. I appreciate.
Tae: You'Re welcome.
EH: Also,I am sorry again. I know what I did was unforgivable but... I promise, I'll do anything for Yeri and to make you forgive me.
Taehyung licked his lips and lowered his head. Eunho held his hand and smiled.
EH: I hope it will be the case soon.
Tae: Yeah. You have to go now and it's getting late. You should go home. He said pulling his hand away. Taek care of yourself and get well soon.
Eunho lowered his head and nodded with a smile. Then, he turned and approached his girlfriend some meters from there.
Tae looked at them entering the elevator and sighed. He joined Yeri inside. That night, he was alone at home since Jungkook had some works to do.
Tae: Time to sleep baby!
They both changed in pajamas and went to sleep together in Tae's bedroom. Yeri fell asleep very quickly as usual..
Taehyung was about to leave from dreamland too when his phone rang suddenly. That was his parents who was still very worried about their granddaughter.
Tae: Hello? Mom?
[ honey! Hi. How are you?]
Tae: I am fine.
[ And what about Yeri?]
Tae: well.. In general, she is fine and.. Yeah... I will explain everything soon.
[ hah. I really want to see her. Can't you guys come here and stay for some days? ]
Taehyung thought a moment and that was indeed a good idea. He needed fresh air and Yeri would love to meet her grandpa and grandma after so long.
Tae: Hum.. Okay. We will come soon. But, first I have to call my boss. It's been days that I didn't go to work.
[ Okay. We are waiting for you. We just wanted to make sure that you are fine. Now, we are so relieved.]
Taehyung smiled and wished them a good night before hanging up. He immediately dialed Jimin's number.
[ Yes sweetie? Is everything okay?]
Tae: Hey.. I am feeling so bad Jimin. you are my bestfriend and I feel like I am taking advantages of it but, I have a request.
[ what do you mean? ] Jimin asked a bit amused.
Tae: Hum.. I didn't attend work yet and..
[ shhh. About that? It's okay Tae. Yeri needs you now more than ever. You have to be with her.]
Tae: But, what about my..
[ Listen, you have the right to rest. So ,don't worry about work now. You are a mother first.]
Taehyung almost teared up. Jimin was just an incredible friend.
Tae: Thank you chim... Good night bestie. Muah.
[ Hihi. Muah!]
Jimin hung up.
Taehyung lied down and caressed Yeri's hair.
Tae: well. Here we come Daegu.
The next day, Taehyung decided to go. He couldn't wait much. He also needed to be with them. You always feel more comfortable with your parents.
He invited Jungkook and informed him about his plans but the boy had to decline because of work once again. Still, Tae was fine with it. He also had a life except him after all.
They arrived at Daegu after some hours of ride. Taehyung was more than excited to see his parents.
He knocked at the door and smiled widely when his mom opened and hugged him.
Mrs Kim: Taehyung! You are already here?
Tae: mom, you told me to come and now that I am here, you ask me if I am already here? Hahaha.
Mrs Kim chuckled and looked down at Yeri who was standing next to Taehyung. She carried her and pinched her cheek.
Mrs Kim: Hey you!
Yeri just looked at her with a soft smile.
Mrs Kim: How are you?
She didn't say anything.
Mrs Kim turned to Taehyung with questioning eyes.
Tae: Yeah... We have to talk.
Taehyung took yeri back and entered. Mrs Kim was petty confused.
When he got in, he found his father cooking their lunch.
Tae: Dad?
Mr Kim: Ah? Hey! Welcome.
Taehyung smiled and glanced at his mom who signled her husband to follow them in the living room.
They all took seats and Taehyung sat yeri on his laps.
Tae: Yeri honey? Can you say "hi" to grandpa and grandma?
Yeri turned to him and signed hi with a little pout. Mrs Kim 's eyesbrows frowned.
Mrs Kim: What.. What is that?
Tae: Mom, Yeri... She lost her voice in the accident.
The couple's eyes widen. The old woman treared up and stood up. She carried Yeri and hugged her tight.
Mrs Kim: My angel..
Tae: .....
Mr Kim: Oh god. Is she okay?? Is she hurt somewhere else??
Tae: No. She is fine. She is not hurt anywhere else.
Mrs Kim: so.. So is she learning to express herself and..
Tae: she will soon but.. Today I really wanted to take her to you.
Mr Kim held Yeri at his turn and his wife pulled Taehyung in a hug.
She patted his back gently and kissed his forehead.
Mrs Kim: and you? How are you baby?
Tae: ......I am fine mom. I am used to it and as long and Yeri feels good, I also feel good.
Mrs Kim: Hah. You are the strongest person I 've ever seen. mom is proud of you..
Taehyung couldn't help but teared up and held his mom tighter. She indeed needed them in this kind of moment.
After the emotional moment, they all decided to eat the food that Mr kim have prepared for his son and his daughter's arrival.
They still ate in a good mood, happily. Then, Yeri fell asleep . Taehyung lied her in his old room and and decided to go for a walk.
He, then, called Jungkook.
Tae: ....hello?
[ Hello? Did you arrive safe?]
Tae: Yeah. Taehyung said with a soft smile. Where are you?
[ I am at work. Jimin just left my office now. Hahaha]
Tae: I miss you.
[ Me too. You don't even know how much. ]
Tae: I didn't see you since yesterday..
[ This is just two days babe]
Tae: Still..
Jungkook sighed and smiled.
[ After work, I will come see you]
Tae: At Daegu?
[ Yeah. How do you think of that?]
Tae: That would be perfect.
[ Okay. See you later]
Tae: See you later.
[ I love you]
Tae: I love you more.
[ I love you more than that. ]
Tae:*chuckles*
Jungkook hung up and inhaled deeply.. He rubbed his face, a bit frustrated. Someone entered his office . It was Jimin.
JM: Did you tell him?
JK: Not yet.
JM: You have to. He will be too shocked if you take too long.
JK: Yeah. I know. I will tell him everything this evening ot tomorrow. I am joining him at Daegu.
JM: Nice. I'll take my leave now. By the way, we are going to eat together. Want to come?
JK: Yeah. Go first. I call Namjoon hyung and i arrive.
JM: Okay.
Jimin left, leaving Jungkook there alone with his thoughts.
He called Namjoon.

................
Taehyung finished his little walk an hour after and was now on his way home. When he approched the house, he spotted a familiar face that he didn't see since a while.
Tae: Hyung?
Heechul was standing in front of the door not moving. Taehyung smiled widely and ran to him all happy to see his brother after a long time.
Tae: Hyung!
Heechul turned making Taehyung back off a bit. The smell of alcohol hurted his poor nose.
Tae: Hyung. He said while frowning his nose.
HC: Taehyung? *drunk voice*
Tae: May I know why are you so drunk?! Ya!
HC: Tae.. It's been a while. He said falling in Taehyung 's arms.
Tae: Ahh. Hyung! Are you okay?
HC: Yeah..
Tae: You are not. Let's enter. Mom won't spare your life.
With a lot of struggle, Taehyung managed to get his brother inside. Mrs Kim walked to the entry and crossed her arms.
HC: Mom...
Tae: Mom! Help me! He is dead drunk!
Mrs kim helped Taehyung to take the boy to his room and lied him on the bed.
Tae: There! Hah. That was intense.
Mrs Kim stared at Heechul a moment and left the room.
Tae followed her in the hallway.
Tae: Wae?
Mrs Kim: Hah. I thought he stopped drinking. He even got help.
Tae: ....
Mrs Kim: but here he is. Again.
Tae: Heechul was an alcoholic?
Mrs Kim: Yeah...
Taehyung and her went to her room to talk.
Mrs Kim: Don't tell dad that he arrived in this state when he will arrive.
Tae: Where did he go?
Mrs Kim: He went to check something at work.
Tae: Alright. We will keep it a secret. But.. What happened? Last time I saw him he was pretty good. What happened in between?
Mrs Kim: Well, he got divorced as you know and his children. They are with their mother. He lost his job and.. Yeah.. Alcohol was the only thing left for him.
Tae: But.. I..
Mrs Kim: yeah. You went through that too. But you survived because you are maybe stronger and you got support from your friends and Jungkook especially. He, had our support from me and dad but gave up quickly and.. Hah.. I don't know what to do anymore.
Taehyung sighed and hugged his mother.
Tae: he will be fine soon. We are here for him.
Mrs Kim smiled and hugged him.
Mrs Kim: Would you help me with the dinner honey?
Tae: Yeah.. Of course. Just let me see him once and I'll join you downstairs right after.
Mrs Kim: alright. She said carrssing his cheek.
She left for the kitchen while Taehyung went to his brother 's room.
He lifted his blanket and stared at him a moment. Then, he was about to leave when Heechul stopped him in his track.
HC: Taehyung..
Tae: ah?
HC: Taehyung..
Taehyung walked over and kneeled down.
Tae: Wae?
HC: Taehyung... Heechul called once again looking up at him and tearing up.
Tae: w-what? What's wrong hyung?
HC: Tae... I tried to kill someone...
Taehyung 's eyes widen. He gulped.
Tae: you what?
HC: I tried to kill someone... But I failed and I am scared.. I am scared that I'll do it again....*sobs*
He held Taehyung 's waist tight and bursted in tears there. Tae teared up as well and caresssed his hair.
Tae: I am here hyung.. Hah.. Don't worry anymore..
To be continued...
