True Love

6. Meeting bestfriend again

After waiting outside the airport for sometime, Taehyung's bestfriend, Seokjin came with his car to receive them.
When Seokjin saw Taehyung he immediately hugged him and started crying. He said in a broken voice, "Tae you are really bad. Why did you leave like that? You didn't even come back for such a long time. Didn't you miss me?"

Taehyung became really happy after meeting his bestfriend and listening to his blabbering. He also became emotional and his eyes brimmed with tears. He hugged his best friend tightly and said Seokjin was the only person whom Taehyung missed while living in London. Afterall they used to spend most of their time together. He really missed all those things in the last five years.

Seokjin said, "You are really a sweet talker Tae. Your habit hasn't changed."
He then looked at Taehyung from top to bottom and said, "Your makeup skills became more advanced Tae. You are looking really beautiful and more confident. You changed a lot."
Taehyung jokes about it, "Yes Hyung you also changed a lot. Look you gain more weight."
Oh hearing it Seokjin shouts, "Yaah you brat I am not fat. You can't just say something like this about me. I am world wide beautiful you know." Taehyung chuckles at that.
Then suddenly Areum said, "Hello uncle my name is Areum and my nickname is Cherry."

Seokjin feels someone pulling his clothes. He looks downward and sees a cute little girl standing beside Taehyung. She is smiling at him while showing her cute dimples. "Oh my god! She is so cute." He said. "But from where did she come?"
Taehyung picked his daughter and said, "Hyung meet my daughter, Areum. She turned 4 this year."
Seokjin looks shocked at Taehyung. He can't believe what he just heard. His bestfriend has a child. He asked stuttering, "Y-your d-daughter. When did this happen? How did this happen? I mean when you become a mother. You have a child that means you are married. But with whom? You never told me about it. I was not prepared for such a surprise. It must be a dream." He then pinches himself to check if it's really a dream or reality. When he felt pain he realised that he was not dreaming. It's real.

Areum pouts and looks at Seokjin. She said, "Uncle Jin at least hug me." She really liked her mumma's bestfriend and wants him to hug her. Seokjin's heart melted at her cuteness. He takes her in his arms and hugs her tightly.

While going towards Seokjin's house in his car he was continuously scolding Taehyung. "Tae going abroad without even informing anyone then giving birth to a child that also without marriage. Oh god why are you like this? Do you even know how much worried I was when you left just like that? Do you even have any idea how difficult it is to raise a child alone without marriage?"
"I never regreted having Areum in my life Hyung." Taehyung said and looks towards his daughter lovingly. It's true he never regreted having a child without marriage. His daughter is his everything. His whole life revolves around her. He had faced many problems while living in London but when at the end of the day he will see his daughter's smiling face then he used to forget about his every problem. She was the only happiness in his dark world. He can't even imagine his life without her.

Seokjin sighed at Taehyung's reply and asked him, "Ok but atleast tell me who is her father?" Seokjin still remembers what happened with his bestfriend five years ago. How that scandal got viral around the whole Korea. Wait scandal, can it be possible that? He looks at Taehyung wide eyed and said, "Is she result of that night?"
Taehyung just looks at Seokjin and didn't replied to his question. He really don't want to talk about it right now.
It wasn't long after going abroad when he came to know that he was pregnant. But his bad luck that he didn't even knew the man's name whose child he was carrying. He can't even expect some kind of support from him. Worst thing is that if today he met that man and will told him about Areum then it is possible that he will take Areum away from Taehyung and Taehyung can never imagine his life without his daughter. He will rather die then giving his daughter to someone. His whole life depends only on her. She is his daughter and no one can take her away from him.
