Their Mumma / Kim Taehyung Ff - Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Y/n felt happy with the pure love she received from Sera and Jihoon, but she still felt something missing in her heart. She knew Taehyung didn't want a romantic relationship with her, but when he showed love to Sera and Jihoon, Y/n couldn't help but feel a little left out.
Y/n, a 25-year-old woman, had many hopes and dreams for her future partner. However, her profession as a child psychiatrist and pediatrician led her to make the decision to marry Taehyung for the sake of Sera and Jihoon. Despite her understanding nature and thoughtfulness, she is trying her best to suppress these emotions.
Yesterday night, when Taehyung brought the kids their favorite food and even snacks for the workers, Y/n couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope that he had brought something for her too. However, her hopes were dashed when Taehyung asked her to give the snacks to the workers instead.
Y/n felt a pang of disappointment, realizing that she had allowed herself to start hoping for something more, which she knew she shouldn't have done.
Taehyung held himself back from showing any love or kindness to Y/n because he didn't want to give her false hope or hurt her. But deep down, he also desired a romantic relationship with her. Unaware of the unintended consequences, Taehyung's actions were causing Y/n significant pain and making her feel left out.
Today, Taehyung arrived home late from the office, and Y/n patiently waited for him. As he sat down, she served him dinner, hoping to bring him satisfaction with the warm meal.
Y/n, sitting across from him, asked, "How was your day?" Taehyung's eyes closed briefly, overwhelmed by painful memories from his past.
When he opened his eyes, he glared at Y/n and sternly muttered, "Don't overstep your boundaries." His deep voice filled Y/n with fear and a sense of insignificance. She immediately apologized and hastily retreated from the scene.
Feeling frustrated from hunger, exhaustion, and haunting memories, Taehyung hungrily consumed his meal, releasing his pent-up frustrations. Once finished, he left the dishes on the dining table, a departure from his usual responsible behavior. Without a word, he retreated to his room, leaving an air of unease behind.
Later that night, as Taehyung woke up thirsty and went to get some water, he noticed Y/n in the kitchen, washing the dishes. To his surprise, he realized that she was washing his dishes. His gaze then shifted to a plate of food she had kept in the fridge, untouched. The sight of her sad expression made him feel a pang of guilt, realizing that she had not eaten either.
Taehyung returned to his room with the intention of apologizing to Y/n as soon as she entered. However, his attention was immediately diverted by the sound of Sera's cries.
Worried, he hurried to her room, only to find the bed empty. Following the sound of gentle whispers, he quietly approached the hall and peered in to witness Y/n holding little Sera close to her chest, comforting her with tender care.
Y/n gently rubbed Sera's back and whispered sweetly into the baby's ears, paying close attention to her babbling. Sera responded with her own adorable baby language, and Y/n listened attentively, fully engaged in their precious interaction.
Unaware of Taehyung's presence, Y/n continued to hum a soothing tune to lull Sera to sleep as she walked towards their room. Little did she know that Taehyung had been observing the heartwarming scene and felt a deep sense of remorse for his previous behavior.
In a rush to make amends, Taehyung quickly returned to their room and found himself captivated by Y/n's melodic voice as she continued to sing, unintentionally lulling him into a peaceful slumber. As sleep overcame him, Taehyung drifted off before Sera even had the chance to fall asleep.
Upon entering the room, Y/n noticed Taehyung peacefully asleep on the bed. Knowing their sleeping arrangement, she quietly made her way to the couch, which served as her sleeping space.
In their previous house, the couch was her designated spot due to its small size, not accommodating Taehyung's larger frame.
However, in their new, more spacious house, the couch had been transformed into a couch cum bed, providing a comfortable sleeping area for Y/n. With a sigh, she settled onto the couch and prepared herself for a restful night's sleep.
Y/n's initial anger towards Taehyung for his behavior started to subside as she considered the possibility that he may have been triggered by memories of his previous wife. Empathy replaced her anger as she realized the pain he had endured in the past. Gazing at him sleeping peacefully on the bed, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness.
Despite her own hurt feelings, she decided to be understanding and respectful of his choices. She didn't want to add any more pain to his already burdened heart. However, she couldn't shake off the disappointment of how he had treated her earlier.
The next morning, Taehyung found Y/n in the kitchen preparing breakfast. He approached her with hesitation and stood beside her, ready to apologize for his behavior the previous night. However, before he could utter a complete sentence, she interrupted him with a warm smile. Y/n kindly reassured him, saying that there was no need for him to apologize and that she was the one who had crossed the line. With a smile still on her face, she quickly excused herself and rushed to the kids' room upon hearing Jihoon calling for her.
Taehyung noticed a subtle hint of disappointment on her otherwise beautiful and smiling face.
That was the last time they had a personal talk , Taehyung noticed a change in y/n's behavior after their last conversation. While they still communicated about the kids, he sensed that y/n had stopped initiating any personal conversations with him like she always used to with him.
On Christmas Eve, y/n and Taehyung joyfully showered their kids with gifts and toys, creating a festive atmosphere in their home. The grandparents also spoiled the children with numerous presents, adding to the excitement of the occasion.
Y/n stood up from the floor where she had been sitting with the kids, unwrapping presents. She approached Taehyung with a hint of hesitation and handed him a gift box, causing him to be pleasantly surprised.
Taehyung looked at y/n, who was smiling warmly at him. With a hint of hesitation, he began, "Y/n, I didn't... buy anything for..."
But y/n interrupted him as always, saying, "No, no, it's fine. Merry Christmas!" She then returned to sera, who was trying to uncover a doll.
Taehyung returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, unwrapping y/n's gift. As he opened the box, he was greeted with a beautiful royal blue wallet with his name elegantly engraved in silver. Inside the box, there was also a matching tie and belt.
The items were so elegant, just like y/n. Taehyung smiled to himself, feeling a sudden wave of happiness. However, his joy was short-lived as he realized that while the kids received gifts and he received a gift, y/n didn't receive anything this Christmas except for a chain from her own father.
After setting up the gifts for the children and putting them to sleep, y/n returned to the kitchen and grabbed some fruits to eat. Sitting alone at the dining table in the large hall, she felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. She missed her father, who always made sure she never ate alone as he knew how much she disliked it. As she took a bite of an apple and looked at the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, a single tear escaped from her eye, reflecting her inner sadness.
Taehyung, witnessing the glistening tear in y/n's eyes, couldn't help but feel a deep sadness welling up inside him.
Y/n found herself questioning if she and Taehyung were destined to remain in this state of emotional distance for the rest of their lives. However, she was determined to never leave the kids just because of these complicated feelings.
After finishing her food, Y/n cleaned the kitchen diligently. Taehyung couldn't help but notice the stark difference in her demeanor - how beautifully she concealed her pain in front of the family, yet her face appeared dull and sad when she was alone. He felt a sense of guilt and sadness for not being able to bridge the gap between them and make her truly happy.
Taehyung decided to make a few noises with his feet as he entered the kitchen, and to his delight, he saw a pretty smile light up Y/n's face even before he fully appeared.
When Taehyung returned home from work, he was greeted with a heartwarming scene. Y/n was tickling Jihoon, and he laughed joyously. Sera sat nearby, excitedly moving her arms and legs, saying "ji, ji." Taehyung felt a rush of excitement and happiness at seeing his family bonding so beautifully.
Y/n's eyes lit up with excitement as she noticed Taehyung, and Sera eagerly reached out to him with grabby hands.
Y/n quickly intervened, " Taehyung stay there " telling Taehyung to stay in place.
She lifted Sera " baby go to dada ". and encouraged her to go to her dada. With little stumbling steps, Sera made her way towards Taehyung.
He was in awe to see his baby taking those precious steps towards him. Overwhelmed with emotions, Taehyung couldn't help but shed tears of joy as he held his baby girl in his arms. It was a heartwarming moment of love and connection, strengthening the bond between them all.
Taehyung witnessed a genuine smile on her face, a rare sight that had been fading away because of him over time.
One fine morning, Taehyung was frustrated with his project, engrossed in checking the details. Meanwhile, little Jihoon was being playful, running away from his mumma, not wanting to eat anything. Y/n was trying her best to get him to eat so that she could proceed to work.
In a sudden and unexpected move, Jihoon hugged Taehyung's arm, causing the coffee beside him to spill all over the documents and laptop.
In a fit of anger, Taehyung got up, causing the chair to fall on the floor, and furiously yelled at Jihoon for spilling the coffee. Y/n was taken aback by his reaction and tried to calm him down, but Taehyung was too frustrated to listen.
Jihoon began to cry, and Y/n quickly got in between them, trying to shield their son from Taehyung's anger. But Taehyung, still frustrated, pointed his index finger at Y/n and yelled at her in a dominating tone, "Do not get inbetween me and my son."
Her heart shattered at his words, feeling hurt and betrayed. Tears welled up in her eyes as she picked up the crying Jihoon in her arms and rushed into their room, slamming the door shut behind them. The impact of his harsh words left her feeling devastated and alone
In a fit of anger, Taehyung grabbed the coffee mug and slammed it on the floor, shattering it into pieces. He then grabbed his bag and stormed out of the house, leaving Y/n and Jihoon behind, still upset and hurt by his outburst.
Feeling the need to be in a safe and comforting space, Y/n gathered both Jihoon and Sera in her arms and went to their room. She closed the door gently, wanting to shield her children from the tension and anger outside. Holding them close, she whispered soothing words to calm them down, all the while trying to hide her own distress.
She gently held him in her arms, comforting him as he cried. She reassured him that everything would be okay and that she was there to protect him. The trauma from the loud noises and the fight had shaken him, and Y/n understood the importance of giving him the support and love he needed.
Y/n noticed that Jihoon was feeling warm as she held him on her lap. She gently touched his forehead and realized he had a fever. Worried, she quickly handed Sera to the nanny and took Jihoon to his room. Despite his resistance, she managed to feed him and gave him the necessary medicine to bring down his fever.
Y/n's heart ached as she watched Jihoon shivering with fever on the bed. His trembling voice reached her ears
" m..mumma don't leave p... please, j..jihoon is sorry. "
pleading with her not to leave and apologizing. Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged him gently, reassuring him that she would never leave him.
Y/n's anger towards Taehyung intensified as she saw Jihoon suffering due to his outburst. She had been working hard to help Jihoon get better for months, and now everything seemed to be undone. She couldn't help but feel frustrated and upset with Taehyung for his actions that had caused harm to their son's well-being.
Throughout the day, Y/n dedicated herself to taking care of Jihoon, making sure he was comfortable and receiving the proper medical attention. She supervised the cleaning of the mess caused by Taehyung's anger while also ensuring Sera was well taken care of by her nanny. Y/n tried her best to keep her emotions in check and focus on her children's well-being despite the turmoil inside her heart.
As y/n tenderly cared for jihoon, her heart weighed heavy with hurt and disappointment. The incident with taehyung had pushed her to a breaking point. She couldn't shake off the pain of being constantly overlooked and disregarded, as if her feelings didn't matter. It felt like she was left to suffer in silence, and the pain had become unbearable.
As Taehyung entered the house, he felt the heavy weight of guilt and hesitation weighing on his shoulders. The usual sounds of laughter and playfulness from the children were absent, leaving an eerie silence that only deepened his remorse. He knew that his actions had caused this unsettling atmosphere, and the realization only made him feel worse.
Taehyung entered the kids' room with hesitation and guilt, holding gifts and toys in his hands. Jihoon was in Y/n's arms, clinging to her, and immediately noticed his dada's presence. Y/n gently placed Jihoon back on the bed, assuring him that she would be outside and he should talk to his dada.
While y/n walked out of the room. Locking it . Without looking at Taehyung she said " He had fever , he has been crying since morning. You triggered his trauma , talk to him and I wanna talk to you afterwards"
He approached the little boy with a heavy heart, trying to find the right words to say. Jihoon's eyes were filled with a mix of fear and uncertainty as he looked up at his dada.
"Dada, I'm sorry," Jihoon finally whispered, his voice trembling. "I didn't mean to spill the coffee."
Taehyung sat down beside Jihoon and pulled him into a gentle hug, feeling guilt wash over him. "It's okay, Jihoon. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm really sorry for scaring you."
Jihoon looked up at his dada, searching his eyes for sincerity. He could see that Taehyung was remorseful, and he hesitantly hugged him back. "Promise you won't yell again?"
"I promise, buddy," Taehyung replied, his voice softening. "I'll try my best to be a better dada from now on."
Jihoon nodded, a small smile forming on his face. Taehyung stayed with him, comforting and reassuring him until he was finally feeling safe and loved once again.
Delighted by the gifts, Jihoon excitedly showed them to his mumma, pointing at the cars and plushies his dada had brought him. Y/n's heart warmed seeing Jihoon so happy. He then made a sweet request to sleep with his parents, and Y/n smiled, agreeing to it.
Separated by their children, Taehyung and Y/n laid on opposite sides of the bed with Sera and Jihoon nestled between them. Once the kids were sound asleep, Y/n got up, feeling the need to have a serious conversation with Taehyung. Without any hesitation, she stepped out of the room and called him to talk privately.
