Their Mumma / Kim Taehyung Ff - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

As days turned into weeks, Y/N and Taehyung's bond continued to strengthen. They found solace in each other's company, and Taehyung started letting down the walls he had built around himself. Their interactions became more intimate, their conversations deeper, and their connection undeniable.
One of the small but significant changes was their habit of having dinner together. Y/N would finish her responsibilities, including putting the kids to sleep, and then wait for Taehyung to return home. Once he was back, they would sit down to share a meal, their conversations ranging from light-hearted banter to heartfelt discussions about their lives and aspirations.
The act of sharing dinner together became a cherished routine.
It was a time for them to unwind, laugh, and sometimes even delve into more serious matters. The dinner table became a place of comfort, where they could be themselves without any pretenses.
Through these moments, Y/N and Taehyung discovered more about each other's pasts, dreams, and fears. Their connection deepened not just as partners, but as two individuals who had found in each other a confidante and a support system. And as they shared these moments, they couldn't help but realize that their feelings for each other were growing stronger with every passing day.
Their relationship continued to evolve, marked by these simple yet significant gestures that spoke volumes about their feelings for each other. Holding hands became a natural extension of their connection, a way to express their closeness even in the most subtle moments. And the kisses on Y/N's forehead, whether from Taehyung or the kids, held a warmth that went beyond words.
In the morning rush to get ready for the day, Taehyung would often drop a soft kiss on Y/N's forehead before leaving for work. It was a tender reminder of his affection and a silent promise that he would be back soon. And even the children, growing fond of Y/N's presence in their lives, would plant innocent kisses on her forehead as a sign of their growing attachment.
These gestures became a part of their daily routine, a testament to the growing bond between them. And as they navigated their roles as partners and as a family, these moments of physical closeness only reinforced the emotional connection they shared. Each touch, each kiss, carried with it a depth of feeling that was becoming harder for either of them to ignore.
For Taehyung, the sensation of having a complete family was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. The warmth of a loving partner by his side and the laughter of children filling the house brought a sense of fulfillment he had never known. It was a feeling that went beyond just happiness; it was a deep contentment that radiated through every fiber of his being.
One night, Taehyung came back home late from work. First, he went to the kids' room to see both of the children asleep. He kissed Sera's forehead and then Jihoon's. However, when he kissed Jihoon's forehead, the little boy suddenly mumbled, "Dada, Mumma's been crying for so long." Taehyung's eyes widened in worry upon hearing Jihoon's words.
Taehyung's heart clenched as he heard Jihoon's words. He gently brushed his fingers through Jihoon's hair and whispered, "Mumma was crying? When, Jihoon?" He tried to keep his voice calm, not wanting to alarm his son.
Jihoon stirred slightly, his sleepy eyes meeting Taehyung's concerned gaze. "I don't know, dada," Jihoon mumbled, his voice still heavy with sleep. "I woke up for water and saw her sitting by the window. She was crying, dada."
Taehyung's worry deepened as he processed Jihoon's words. He placed a soft kiss on Jihoon's forehead, whispering, "Thank you for telling me, buddy." Slowly, he got up and left the room, his mind racing with concern for Y/N.
As he approached their bedroom, he saw a soft light coming from the crack under the door. He gently pushed the door open and there she was, sitting by the window just as Jihoon had described. The moonlight cast a silvery glow on her tear-streaked face.
Taehyung's heart ached at the sight. He quietly walked over to her and knelt beside her. "Y/N," he whispered softly, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Y/N looked up, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw Taehyung. Quickly, she wiped her tears away, but he had already seen them. He didn't say anything, just pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, letting her cry if she needed to.
"I'm here, Y/N," he murmured, his voice filled with reassurance. "You don't have to go through this alone."
Y/N clung to him, her tears soaking his shirt, as the weight of whatever had been troubling her seemed to pour out. Taehyung held her close, his heart aching for her pain. He didn't need to know the details; he just wanted her to know that he was there for her, no matter what.
As her sobs subsided, he pulled back slightly, cupping her face in his hands and looking into her eyes. "You're not alone in this, Y/N. We're a team, remember? You can share your burdens with me."
Y/N nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude and relief. She leaned into his touch, feeling his warmth and love enveloping her. In that moment, she knew that she had found a partner who would always be there for her, ready to wipe away her tears and share in her pain. And as she looked into his eyes, she knew that together, they could face anything that life threw their way.
"What happened?" he asked softly, his heart sinking at the sight of her crying. Y/n burst into tears, her voice shaky as she hiccuped out her words.
Y/n then explained to him that there was a girl whose case was under her care, but unfortunately, the 7-year-old couldn't survive. As a child psychiatrist, it was the first case that had ended like this, and y/n was completely shattered by what had happened.
"I failed, I failed, Taehyung. She was so small, I could have saved her. I'm so useless."
Her cries tore at his heart, and he couldn't bear to see her like this. He held her close, gently rubbing her back, and whispered soothingly, "Shh, love, you're not useless. You've done your best. It's not your fault."
Taehyung picked her up and carried her to the bed, gently making her sit down before sitting beside her and pulling her into a tight and comforting hug. He started to soothe her by gently rubbing her back, trying to provide as much comfort as possible. As she continued to cry, he gently lifted her chin to make her look at him and said softly,
"Y/n, you did what you could, and maybe it was the best outcome for her. She's away from the pain she was going through, in a better place now. You did a truly remarkable job," he said softly, using his thumb to gently wipe away her tears.
Taehyung pulled her even closer, his embrace warm and reassuring. "And you know what? You're an angel in my life. I was struggling every minute, trying to take care of Sera and Jihoon. Balancing work and family was stressing me out, but then you came into my life, and everything started falling into place. I might not have treated you well at first, but you stayed and gave everything to our family," he said, his voice filled with genuine gratitude for all that she had done for him and the kids.
"I never said this before because I was scared of getting broken again, but you know what? You are my forever. I love you, y/n. I love you so much,"
Taehyung's voice was sincere and full of emotion.
"You're the best person I have ever met. I always imagined having a beautiful family, and you've turned my incomplete family into a complete, beautiful, and happy one."
His confession of love made y/n's eyes well up with tears, a mixture of shock, happiness, and relief flooding through her. His words were like a balm to soothe her pain.
He went on, "I am so happy to have you, y/n. And as for Sera and Jihoon, they are so happy too. They can't stay without their 'mumma' even for an hour. The three of us are so lucky," he concluded, his words melting her heart as she rested her head on his chest and let her tears flow freely.
She looked up at Taehyung, their eyes locked in a powerful connection. "I l..love y..you t..too," she managed to stammer out, her voice trembling with nervousness. Feeling overwhelmed, she glanced down, her heart racing.
But Taehyung gently lifted her chin with his fingers, his touch wiping away her tears. Her eyes met his, and she found herself lost in their depth.
He looked at her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. His gaze moved to her plump, reddened lips, and the air around them seemed to crackle with tension. His thumb brushed softly over her lips, and then, his voice filled the charged silence, "I want to kiss you, y/n."
He turned his head away, realizing that his words might have made her uncomfortable. He opened his mouth to apologize, but before he could say anything, y/n surprised him. She leaned in and gently pressed her lips against his.
Taehyung was taken aback for a moment, but the softness of her lips and the rush of happiness that flooded him quickly erased any doubts. He responded by sneaking an arm around her waist, drawing her closer, while his other hand cupped her neck, deepening the kiss.
Their lips moved in harmony, a sweet and tender dance that reflected their growing emotions. As the kiss deepened, their tongues met in a slow, sensual exploration, both of them lost in the moment. It was a kiss filled with warmth, affection, and a promise of the love that was blossoming between them.
Following the passionate kiss, Taehyung and Y/n found themselves breathless and lost in each other's eyes. The room felt warmer, filled with an electric tension that neither of them had ever experienced before. Y/n's heart was racing, and she couldn't believe she had finally taken the step to express her feelings.
Taehyung cupped Y/n's face with his hands, his thumb gently caressing her cheek. He gazed at her with a mix of emotions — surprise, desire, and a deep affection that had been growing in his heart. He leaned in again, their foreheads touching as he whispered, "Y/n..."
She looked up at him, her eyes searching his for any sign of regret or uncertainty. But what she saw only reassured her. His eyes held a sincerity and a longing that matched her own.
He leaned in again, his lips brushing against hers in a featherlight kiss. This time, it was a kiss filled with tenderness and a promise of something deeper. Their lips met in a slow and sweet dance, conveying all the unspoken emotions they had been holding back for so long.
As they pulled away, Taehyung rested his forehead against Y/n's, their breaths intermingling. "I've wanted to do that for so long," he admitted, his voice a soft murmur.
Y/n felt her cheeks heat up at Taehyung's admission. His confession, filled with genuine emotion, made her heart race even faster. She shyly lowered her gaze, a bashful smile tugging at her lips.
"I... I didn't expect that," she stammered softly, her fingers fidgeting with the fabric of her shirt. She peeked up at him through her lashes, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Taehyung chuckled, the sound warm and comforting. "I've been wanting to tell you how I feel for a while now," he confessed, his fingers gently lifting her chin so their eyes met again. "I guess the kiss just... happened."
Y/n's blush deepened, but she couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her lips. "Well, I'm not complaining," she said, her voice a mixture of playfulness and sincerity. "It was... nice."
Taehyung's eyes softened as he continued to hold her gaze. "Nice, huh?" he repeated, a hint of a teasing smile tugging at his lips.
Y/n's cheeks felt like they were on fire, but she couldn't help but smile back at him. "More than nice," she corrected, her voice barely above a whisper.
He leaned in, his lips brushing against her forehead in a sweet, gentle kiss. "I ..... Really really love ... You ," he whispered, his breath warm against her skin.
In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of their shared feelings and the growing intimacy between them, Y/n realized that sometimes the most unexpected moments can lead to the most beautiful connections. And as they sat there, blushing and smiling at each other, they knew that their journey together was only just beginning.
From that enchanting night onwards, Taehyung and y/n found themselves wrapped in an affectionate cocoon.
Taehyung, always the mischievous one, would often attempt to steal sweet kisses from y/n, but more often than not, their stolen moments were met with the delightful interference of their playful children and their innocent chatter.
Their attempts for privacy often resulted in fits of laughter, as their connection grew stronger amidst the shared joy and playful chaos of their beautiful, blended family.
As the kids surrendered to slumber everyday , the tranquil hours became the couple's sanctuary. Wrapped in each other's arms, they would discuss the events of the day, dream about the kids' futures, and revel in the happiness they had woven into their family's tapestry.
Amidst their conversations, sweet kisses would be exchanged, affectionate gestures reaffirming their bond. And sometimes, the tenderness of the moment would ignite into fervent passion, drawing them into passionate embraces resulting into heavily heated makeouts.
