Their Mumma / Kim Taehyung Ff - Chapter 2: Chapter 2

It's been 9 months now ,
Standing at the altar in his black suit, Taehyung's hands trembled with uncertainty. The weight of his decision to remarry weighed heavily on his shoulders. Doubts flooded his mind, questioning whether this was the right path for him and his children.
Images of wicked stepmothers from movies filled his thoughts, fueling his fears. What if she would bring harm to his precious children? What if this was a mistake?
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he contemplated the unknown. The once hopeful anticipation now wavered with hesitation. Deep inside, a voice of caution whispered, urging him to reconsider. But it was too late now, the ceremony was about to begin, and he had committed himself to this union.
As he stood before the priest, a mix of emotions filled his heart. Excitement, fear, and doubt danced within him, creating a symphony of conflicting feelings. Taehyung took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. He prayed that this decision would bring happiness and love to his family, and not lead them down a path of pain and despair.
In that moment, he made a silent promise to himself and his children. He vowed to protect them at all costs, to shield them from any harm that might come their way. The weight of his responsibility as a father pressed upon him, and he was determined to navigate this new chapter of his life with unwavering devotion.
In the depths of his pain and shattered faith in love, the thought of marriage had never crossed Taehyung's mind. Betrayed and wounded, he believed that his belief in true love had been extinguished. But here he stood, about to marry a complete stranger.
One fateful day, his father presented a marriage proposal. Taehyung's immediate response was a vehement denial, angered by the idea of his children being introduced to an unknown woman. He questioned his father's judgment, unwilling to risk further heartache and uncertainty.
However, that night, as he spent time with his son, Jihoon shared his experience of meeting the girl. He spoke of her kindness and warmth, expressing a heartfelt wish for her to be his mother. Those words struck a chord within Taehyung, who had come to fear the mere mention of the word "mother."
Driven by his son's happiness and the longing for someone to fill the void left by their absent mother, Taehyung made a pivotal decision. The next day, he sought out his parents to inquire about the woman's identity.
To his surprise, he discovered that she was not only a child psychiatrist but also a pediatrician, a professional who could offer much-needed help and support to his traumatized children. The realization that she possessed the skills to guide his children towards healing ignited a spark of hope within Taehyung.
In that moment, he resolved to marry this woman, putting his faith in the possibility that she could bring solace and transformation to their lives. With the prospect of a brighter future for his children, Taehyung embraced the idea of this union, willing to take a leap of faith in the name of love and healing.
the realm of the unknown, all Taehyung knew about her was her name, Y/N, and the fact that she was 25 years old , she doesn't has a mother.
Beyond that, she remained a mysterious figure in his mind, as he had never seen her nor met her in person. However, he clung to the knowledge of her profession as a child psychiatrist and pediatrician, hopeful that her expertise could bring comfort and healing to his children's wounded hearts.
With this scant but significant information, Taehyung embarked on a journey of trust and hope, ready to embrace the potential that lay ahead in their union.
As his bride-to-be gracefully walked down the aisle in a stunning white gown, Taehyung's eyes fixated on her radiant face. Beauty and hope exuded from her every pore, and a smile graced her lips as she glanced affectionately at his children.
Jihoon's eyes lit up with joy, a testament to the instant connection formed between them. Her father tenderly placed her hand in Taehyung's, a symbolic gesture of trust and unity. Together, they stood on the stage, ready to embark on a new chapter of their lives intertwined.
The ceremony began, and as he exchanged vows with his bride-to-be, Taehyung's eyes darted to his children, finding solace in their innocent faces. He hoped that this union would bring them the stability and happiness they deserved. With each passing moment, he found strength in the love he carried for his children, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
As they settled into their home after the intimate wedding ceremony, Taehyung couldn't shake off the uncertainty that lingered in his mind. He felt the need to make it clear to his newly wedded wife that their relationship would not be like a typical husband and wife. His heart remained closed off, and the sole reason for their union was his children's well-being.
If she felt overwhelmed or wanted to leave, he wouldn't hold her back. Moreover, doubts about her ability to handle two young children at the age of 25 plagued his thoughts. He himself, at 32, still struggled with parenthood. The age gap and his own reservations made him fear that this marriage would also end in failure.
Entering the room, Taehyung's eyes landed on her standing by the dressing table, gracefully brushing her hair. As their gazes met, she paused her actions, her eyes filled with a mixture of hesitation and shyness. Taehyung quickly made his way to the bathroom, using the excuse of freshening up to escape the awkwardness of the moment.
After changing into his nightwear, he cautiously stepped out of the washroom, only to find her sitting on the bed, patiently waiting for him.
Clearing his throat, Taehyung took a seat in front of her, and she looked at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Gathering his thoughts, he began to speak.
Tae : Am.. y/n i k.. know u must be having expectations and hopes , expecting me to be a great husband. But i wanted to make his clear that there would be nothing between us like usual couples.
She broke her silence , cutting him in between and says.
Y/n : It's ok , I know everything. And i can understand that u married me because of the babies. It's not easy to accept someone else after all this happened.
And trust me u don't have to worry about me , am only here for the kids and u need not feel any pressure of responsibilities against me as a wife. Am only here for the kids. So no worries ok ?
The man was stunned by her response. The way she calmly expressed her understanding and stated that she was there for the kids only brought him a sudden sense of relief. Her genuine smile further lightened the heaviness he had been carrying in his chest.
And he nods at her.
Y/n ; can I get a house tour?
She asked and taehyung began to show her around while telling her the important things that she needs to know about the kids.
After that taehyung hesitates but proceeds to ask about his little boy..
Tae : Y/n dad told me that they visited you with ji hoon , what do u think? Is he ok? Why is turning so quite these days?
She looks at him with worry in her eyes.
Y/n ; Let me be honest with you since you are his father. He is in trauma that's why he is withdrawing himself from other. His mother must have said somethings to him that has affected his mental health.
And moreover what I have observed is that he thinks that he is the reason of this separation.
Taehyung broke down inside , his precious son is in trauma , he thinks that he is the reason of this divorce.
Tae : I h..have been trying my best to make him happy , he is just a small baby. How is he thinking like that. It's not like that.
He cried holding onto his head. This what he didn't wanted. He wanted his child to be away from all of this. He felt like all of his efforts went into vain , he is such a terrible father. But then he felt a warm hand over his shoulder , he glanced at the girl
Y/n : Its ok , don't worry. This is what am here for. We can cure him with love and care. Just help me . Ok.
He gazed at the girl, her words of assurance about caring for his traumatized child evoking a mix of emotions within him. He felt a flicker of hope and gratitude, intertwined with a hint of vulnerability and a lingering trace of skepticism. Yet, deep down, he couldn't deny the glimmer of possibility that she might be able to bring healing and happiness back into their lives.
