Their Mumma / Kim Taehyung Ff - Chapter 12: Chapter 12

After shedding countless tears throughout the previous night, Taehyung awoke the next morning with newfound determination. He wasted no time and contacted the city's top lawyer to initiate the legal proceedings.
Gathering evidence against his ex-wife became his mission, and within a week, a hearing date was set. Taehyung and y/n were both anxious, but they provided each other with unwavering support. Losing custody of the children to a woman who treated them like possessions was not an option they could accept.
As the date of the hearing arrived, Taehyung and y/n found themselves in a place they never wanted to be - a courtroom. But the case revolved around the custody of their children, so they had no choice but to attend.
Inside the court, Taehyung's ex-wife put on a performance, shedding what seemed like crocodile tears. She accused Taehyung of manipulating her to gain custody of the children, all while claiming her love for them.
Taehyung and y/n felt a deep sense of disgust at her theatrics, knowing all too well that it was she who had treated their children like objects rather than the loving parents they aimed to be.
The lawyer representing Taehyung and Y/n's side gently asked, "Could you please tell us your name and who your parents are?"
The little boy in the witness box, Jihoon, was visibly nervous, his voice trembling as he stammered, "M-my na-name is K-Kim Jihoon."
The lawyer smiled kindly at him and continued, "That's right, Jihoon. Now, can you tell us who your parents are?"
Jihoon pointed at the couple sitting across the courtroom, his dada and mumma. "M-my mumma is Kim Y/n, my dada is Kim Taehyung."
The courtroom was silent as Jihoon's innocent voice rang out. His small frame was barely visible over the high witness stand, but his words held everyone's attention.
The lawyer proceeded, "Jihoon, do you remember the other lady sitting over there?" He gestured toward Taehyung's ex-wife.
Jihoon nodded hesitantly. "Y-yes, th-that's my old mumma."
The lawyer continued, "Could you please tell the court about your experiences while you were living with your old mumma?"
Jihoon took a deep breath, clutching the plush toy he held tightly. " old - mumma...she... she didn't always give me food on time. When I asked for food, she got very angry."
The lawyer gently encouraged, "It's okay, Jihoon. You're doing great. Can you tell us more?"
Jihoon continued, his voice quivering, "Sometimes, she yelled at me a lot. And once, she hurt my dada when he tried to protect me."
The atmosphere in the courtroom grew tense as Jihoon's words revealed the painful truth about the abusive environment he had experienced. His innocent testimony painted a stark picture of what their life had been like with Taehyung's ex-wife.
The lawyer nodded, appreciating Jihoon's bravery. "Thank you, Jihoon. You're a very brave young boy."
Jihoon glanced back at his parents, a small, relieved smile forming on his face as they nodded back at him with tears in their eyes.
The lawyer proceeded with a gentle smile, "Jihoon, can you tell us about your Y/n mumma? How is she with you now?"
Jihoon's face lit up with a smile as he began to speak, "Mumma is really nice now. She loves me so much and my baby sister. She feeds us yummy food and hugs me until I fall asleep."
The courtroom couldn't help but smile at Jihoon's words, his innocence and love for his Y/n mumma shining through. He continued, "Mumma loves my dada so much too. She's always happy with him, and they laugh a lot together."
Jihoon's eyes sparkled with admiration for his parents, and he wasn't done yet. "And she loves my grandparents, too! She talks to them and helps them with things. She's really nice to everyone."
As Jihoon spoke about his Y/n mumma, his love and happiness were palpable, painting a beautiful picture of the loving family he had found with Taehyung and Y/n. The courtroom watched in awe, touched by the sincerity in the young boy's words.
The opposing lawyer, realizing that Jihoon's testimony was portraying Taehyung and Y/n in a positive light, tried to twist the narrative. She asked, "But Jihoon, don't you miss your real mumma?"
Jihoon, being an honest child, replied, "No, I don't miss her. My real mumma is Y/n. She's the best mumma."
As Jihoon continued to answer the lawyer's questions honestly and with unwavering loyalty to his parents, it became increasingly clear to the courtroom that this young boy's testimony was a testament to the love and care he received from Taehyung and Y/n. The opposition's attempts to undermine their relationship only seemed to reinforce the strength of their family bond.
Opposition Lawyer:** (With a smirk) "Jihoon, can you tell the court how your dada, Taehyung, behaves with you?"
Jihoon:** (Confidently) "Dada is the best. He plays with me, helps me with my homework, and takes me to the park. He's always there when I need him."
Opposition Lawyer:** (Skeptical) "But does he ever get angry or shout at you?"
Jihoon:** (Honest) "Sometimes, when I'm naughty, he tells me not to do bad things, but he never shouts or hurts me. Dada loves me."
Opposition Lawyer:** (Trying to press) "And your old mumma, she didn't shout at you, did she?"
Jihoon:** (Thoughtful) "Well, my old mumma used to shout a lot, and it scared me. But dada would always protect me from her. He's my hero."
Jihoon's sincere responses continue to reinforce the loving relationship he shares with Taehyung, presenting a compelling argument in favor of their custody case. The opposition lawyer's attempts to paint a negative picture of Taehyung are effectively countered by Jihoon's genuine words.
Opposition Lawyer:** (Attempting to discredit Taehyung) "Jihoon, did your dada ever tell you bad things about your old mumma?"
Jihoon:** (Frowning) "No, dada never said bad things. He told me that sometimes people can't live together, and that's okay. He always wants me to be happy."
Jihoon's innocent yet thoughtful answers maintain the positive image of Taehyung and y/n while addressing the complexities of the situation. The opposition lawyer's efforts to undermine their case with leading questions are thwarted by Jihoon's unwavering love for his new family.
Opposition Lawyer:** (Pressing on) "Jihoon, do you know that if your old mumma wins, you might have to go live with her?"
Jihoon:** (With tears in his eyes) "No, I don't want to go. I want to stay with y/n mumma and dada."
Unable to contain his emotions, Jihoon bursts into tears and runs into y/n's comforting embrace. The courtroom witnesses the raw and genuine bond between Jihoon and his new family, which becomes a powerful testament to their love and care.
In the witness box, Taehyung's voice trembled with emotion as he began to speak, recounting the painful past. "Your Honor," he started, "My ex-wife... she used to call Sera and Jihoon 'rats.' She left them alone when Sera was just four days old , i almost lost her ."
His eyes glistened with tears as he continued, "I struggled to take care of my kids on my own, and it was incredibly tough."
He took a deep breath to compose himself before speaking about Y/n, his voice filled with gratitude, "But then Y/n came into our lives, and everything changed. She brought happiness into our home, she loved my children as her own."
Taehyung's voice grew more resolute as he recounted his ex-wife's intentions, "Now, she says she wants them back, as if they were mere possessions, toys to be returned if she doesn't like them."
In the courtroom, the weight of Taehyung's words hung heavy, a poignant reminder of the love and care that Y/n, Taehyung, and their family had given to Sera and Jihoon, in stark contrast to the indifference of his ex-wife.
The court's verdict was clear and resolute. Kang Cho Hee was banned from even meeting the kids, let alone having any rights over them. She was ordered to submit $100,000 to the court. Taehyung and Y/n couldn't contain their overwhelming happiness, tears of relief and joy streaming down their faces. It was a hard-fought battle, but their love and determination had won the day, securing a safe and loving home for Sera and Jihoon.
The little family celebrated their victory with a joyful party at home, surrounded by their loving grandparents. The happiness and warmth in their home were palpable, a stark contrast to the turmoil they had once faced.
Y/n and Taehyung were overwhelmed with happiness. Finally, after so many days of struggle, they could breathe freely. The woman who had caused them so much pain was no longer allowed to interfere in their children's lives. They felt a newfound sense of freedom and peace.
However, the tranquility was disrupted one day when Y/n received a call from Jihoon's school. The unexpected call filled the room with tension, and Y/n's heart raced as she listened to the voice on the other end of the line.
Y/n, in the midst of her work at the hospital, received the distressing call from Jihoon's school. Without a second thought, she rushed to her car and sped to the school, her heart filled with concern.
Upon entering the principal's office, she was met with a heartbreaking sight – Jihoon, her precious son, was crying, his arm scratched and red. He ran into his mumma's arms, seeking comfort and safety.
As Y/n inquired about the incident, the school staff informed her that Jihoon's ex-mother had appeared, attempting to forcefully take him with her. In the process, she had injured him. Jihoon, scared and seeking help, had run to the security guard for protection.
The incident left Y/n both furious and deeply worried about her son's safety, and she knew that they would have to take immediate action to protect Jihoon from any further harm.
Taking a half-day off from work, Y/n hurriedly carried Jihoon towards her car, his tears still streaming down his face. As she reached her car, she was unexpectedly confronted by Cho Hee, who yelled at her, "He's my son!"
Y/n's patience had worn thin, and she felt a surge of anger and protectiveness for Jihoon. In a bold move, she stomped toward Cho Hee and slapped her hard across the face, causing Cho Hee to stumble backward.
"Stay away from my son!" Y/n's voice quivered with anger as she issued the stern warning. She didn't want Cho Hee anywhere near Jihoon, and she was willing to do whatever it took to keep him safe. With Jihoon safely in the car, Y/n drove away, determined to shield her son from any further harm.
While waiting for Taehyung to return home so that she could discuss the morning's incident after putting jihoon to nap , Y/n's quiet afternoon took a terrifying turn. She abruptly noticed several intruders forcefully entering through a window.
There were more than six of them. Reacting swiftly, Y/n grabbed Sera and rushed to the children's room, gently waking Jihoon from his nap and placing Sera beside him. She pressed her phone into Jihoon's trembling hands, urgently conveying the situation.
"Baby, there are some bad people in our house," Y/n spoke with a mix of urgency and reassurance. "Call dada and tell him to come back immediately. Take care of Sera, okay?"
Before Jihoon could fully comprehend the danger, Y/n bolted outside and locked the door behind her, determined to shield her children from the intruders at all costs.
In a state of shock, Jihoon flinched at the sound of his mumma's terrified scream from outside. His heart pounded with fear as he mumbled, "Mumma." Without wasting a second, he dialed Taehyung's number, tears streaming down his face.
"D-dada, there are some bad people at home," Jihoon stammered, his voice trembling with fear. "Mumma locked us in our room, they are hurting mumma. Please come home fast, dada."
Jihoon's distress was palpable through the phone, and Taehyung's heart raced as he reassured his son, "I'm on my way, Jihoon. Don't worry, I'll be there soon." Determination filled his voice as he sped toward home, desperate to protect his family.
As Taehyung raced back home at full speed, he stayed on the call with Jihoon, his heart pounding with fear. The sound of chaos and screaming was unbearable. Then, suddenly, everything went silent.
"Jihoon, what happened? Are you okay?" Taehyung's voice was filled with worry as he urged the driver to go faster.
"I... don't know, dada," Jihoon replied, his voice trembling. "I think they went away?"
Relief washed over Taehyung, but his concern for Y/n and the safety of his family remained. He needed to get home as quickly as possible to ensure their well-being.
Taehyung's heart sank as he entered the house and found it in shambles. Broken items and chaos were everywhere. His primary concern was his family's safety. He rushed to the kids' room, swung the door open, and embraced his crying children tightly.
"Dada, where's mumma?" Jihoon asked, his voice quivering as he held onto Sera, fear etched on his face. Taehyung's eyes darted around, desperately searching for any sign of Y/n.
Taehyung's heart shattered as he looked around as he saw blood , he rushed to the kitchen and found Y/n lying in a pool of her own blood, brutally beaten and with a knife stabbed into her stomach. He choked on his breath, his world collapsing around him. Desperation and fear gripped his soul as he knelt beside her.
"Y...Y/n," he called out, his voice trembling, but she appeared lifeless. The sight was beyond horrifying, and Taehyung's mind raced, trying to comprehend the extent of the damage done to his beloved Y/n.
As Jihoon and Sera cried out for their mother, little Sera, with her unsteady baby steps, approached Taehyung, tears streaming down her face, and repeated, "Mumma." The scene was heart-wrenching, and Taehyung felt like his entire world had crumbled around him.
Numbness overtook him as he sat there on his knees beside Y/n's lifeless body, his mind unable to comprehend the horrifying reality that his beloved wife was gone. The weight of grief and despair pressed down on him, and he held his children close, their cries echoing in the shattered silence of their once-happy home.
In the midst of his overwhelming grief, Taehyung sat beside Y/n's lifeless form, unresponsive to the desperate pleas of Jihoon and Sera. His world had shattered, leaving him lost in a sea of pain and sorrow. The children tugged at him, seeking comfort and answers, but he remained trapped in the devastating reality of his wife's cruel fate.
Taehyung was utterly lost, unable to comprehend the devastating reality before him. Y/n was no longer with them. The weight of the situation bore down on him, his heart aching for himself, for Sera, for Jihoon, and for what lay ahead. Y/n lay motionless, and he felt paralyzed, his trembling hands unable to find their purpose. His breath felt caught in his throat, choking him as he stared at the lifeless form of the woman he loved.
Meanwhile, the children's cries filled the room, a haunting reminder of the harsh truth they all now faced.
