Bounded to You

Chapter 6

Taehyung's Pov:

As i run fast upstairs, i found my son sitting at the edge of bed. He's rubbing his sleepy eyes and smiles upon seeing me.

"Good morning my tiger. How was your sleep?" I asked him while carrying him to help him wash his face.

"Good mowning momma." Dan peck a kiss to my cheek and he giggled.

"Ok, c'on, lets wash your face then we'll go down to have a breakfast, okay?" I said and he excitedly nod his head. After washing his face, i took the cotton towel that was hang at the corner to wipe his face.

"Let me smell my tiger." I said and he laugh when i tickle his side while smelling him.

"M-momma...." Dan laugh trying to wiggle and move away from me. I stop tickling him when his tummy growls. I look at him and i laugh when my tiger pouted.

"Ok, lets go downstair and have a breakfast. Then later on, we'll go somewhere else." I told Dan and he quickly jump off my lap and start walking towards the door.

"Careful baby."

I sigh with a smile before walking behind him.

"Oh s**t!" I mentally slap myself when i remember Jungkook. While holding Dan's hand going down, i frown when i dont see him any more.

"Did he go?" I felt a bit sad about it.

"Momma?" Dan tugged the hem of my shirt when we reached the kitchen.

"Im sorry baby. Let me help you." I carry him and put him to his chair, bringing his plate from the cupboard and place a bacon and egg. I pour milk to his glass and we both start eating. Im staring at my son with my mind occupied by Jungkook, i didn't even realised that i was smiling. I cant hide the reality that i still love him to this day.

After eating our breakfast, i carried Dan upstairs to change his cloth before changing mine. I plan of visiting the apartment that i saw yesterday after we go at the mall.

~~~

"Dan dont run okay." I told my as we enter the mall. We both have fun walking around and buy some toys that my son like. After almost three hour of strolling, we enter at a restaurant to have our late lunch.

For some instance, i dont know why i felt like something pulling me to turn around, so i did. My eyes widen when i saw a very familiar figure staring at us. I gulp hardly when i notice them coming closer to us. I hold my son's hand and without saying anything, i carried him  and walk away, ignoring the fact that we already ordered our food and just waiting for it to be delivered to our table.

"Taehyung!"

I heard them calling my name, but i ignored it. I walk faster and as soon as i reached outside the mall, i saw an empty taxi and told the driver to bring us at the destination i told him. I turn my head back to look at them and i saw them staring at the car i ride.

I close my eyes and breath out heavily. When i open my eyes, i saw Dan looking at me.

"Im sorry baby. Lets just eat somewhere else, okay?" I tolf him, caressing his cheek and he nod with a smile. Im thankful that my son is such a kind boy. After half an hour, the taxi pulled over to stop and i paid him before stepping out. I hold Dan's small hand and we walk towards the building. Yesterday i called the number i saw outside and we agreed that i will meet him today.

A woman in his forties came to me with a friendly smile. She's same tall as me and she's look pretty descent in her black slack and white shirt with a scarf around her neck.

"Mr. Kim?"

"Yes, hi."

"Im Clement." She said, leaning her hand and ibglqdly shake it.

"Kim Taehyung. You can call me Taehyung or Tae." I told her. She smiled at me and her eyes fondly look at Dan who was sitting beside me, we are currently sitting at the main lobby of the building when she arrive.

"He's cute." She said and i smile proudly. "Lets go to my office." She added and i hold Dan's hand again and follow her. We walk just a a few seconds before we reached infront of a mirrored door. She push it open and gesture me to follow her.

"Please sit, M- Tae." I sit across her and she handled me a paper which i knew its a contract about the apartment. I read it carefully and smile to her before signing it.

"Im glad you found the conditions reasonable, Tae." She added.

"Thank you, Ms. Clement." I said, standing to shake her hand.

"Oh come on, Tae. Just call me noona. Im too way older than you." She said and laugh a bit.

"Okay noona. Thanks again. I'll come here tomorrow with my things." I told her. After talking for some more minutes, she walked me outside and i smile when she carry my son and Dan seems having good time carried by her.

~~~

I entered Baekhyun house and found him sitting at the living room, a magazine in his lap while his right hand holding a cup of his favorite coffee. I can smell the sweet strong aroma of his coffee. He lifted his head and he saw us at the door.

"Yah! Where did you go?" He asked with pout.

"We go at the mall and we visited the apartment." I said, opening the box of toy that Dan chooses earlier. "We'll be leaving tomorrow and-

"What? Tae, you just arrive the other here and you're leaving?" Baekhyun said with a wide eyes.

"Im sorry Baek, dont worry its just a few blocks away from here. Its walking distance and we can both visit each other." I explained to him and i saw him sadly pout. Baek suddenly sigh heavily and look at Dan before me. I saw him open his mouth yet close it again. I raised my brows to him giving a look of -something wrong?-

"Dont look at me like that, Tae." Baekhyun pouted and i chuckled at him. I know him very well like he knows me too. I can sense that he wants to tell something. He sigh again before drinking his coffee.

"Dan baby, stay with papa Baek for a while okay?"

"Okay momma."

I told Baek that i'll just pack some of our things so that we'll be ready for tomorrow. He just look at me and shook his head. I smile at him before walking upstairs. I start Dan's things first. And in just a little time im done with it. I walk outside his room and enters my room. I sit at the edge of the bed, my feet at the floor while both hands at my side. Sighing while closing my eyes, i can feel a guilt inside of me when i remember earlier.

Its been long three years since they kick me out of the family. My heart remembers all the hurtful words that came out from their mouths. The memories that i long forgotten flash back in just a blink of an eye.

I clench my fist at the bedsheets and didn't even realised that a tear fell rolling my cheeks while my eyes shut close.

Knock knock

I quickly wipe my tears and when i look at the door, Baekhyun was standing there looking worriedly at me.

"Are you okay?" He strode inside and hug me, caressing my back gently. I tried my best to control not to cry, but i cant. So i let my tears wet my best friends shirt.

"I-i saw them, Baek." I said sobbing. "I-m not mad or angry with them anymore...its...its just that.. i dont know how to face them. I forgave them long time already, yet when i saw them earlier, i remember everything they told me and...and hurts...its really hurt, Baek." I continued crying at his shoulder while he keeps stroking my back.

"Tae, im proud of you, for being so strong at that moment. Im proud of you that you never gave up on those times that you feel like everything is against you. Im proud of you for who you are now, and i will always be here to support you whatever you want to do in the future. If you feel like crying, just call me and i'll lend you my ears to listen and my shoulder to lean on and cry on just like now. Just do whatever your heart wants, if you're still not ready to face them...its okay, Tae. Time will heal your wound. The scar may not disappear, yet it will always remind you that those wounds made you stronger." Baekhyun said and i felt like something inside me lift hearing his words. I pulled away from his and wipes my tears, i smile and he smile at me too.

"Thank you, Baek, for always there with me. I don't really know what woud i do. Thank you." I said and hug him again.
