In the days following the birth of their daughter, the hospital room became a sanctuary where Taehyung and Aecha forged deeper connections as they embraced the responsibilities and joys of parenthood. The air was filled with a mixture of exhaustion, happiness, and the sweet scent of their newborn, Tannie.

Taehyung, with a gentle smile on his face, cradled Tannie in his arms, marveling at her delicate features. Aecha, still recovering from the labor, watched the tender interaction between father and daughter with a profound sense of contentment.

As they spent those precious days together, making decisions that would shape their family's future, Taehyung and Aecha, not bound by the formalities of marriage, chose the name "Tannie" for their daughter. The name resonated with warmth and familiarity, embodying the love that surrounded their growing family.

The hospital room, filled with the soft glow of sunlight streaming through the window, became a haven for the trio. The days were marked by moments of laughter, shared glances of awe at their newborn, and the gentle exchanges that solidified the bonds of their newly formed family.

Amidst the medical check-ups, the shared responsibilities of caring for Tannie, and the quiet moments where they reveled in the miracle of new life, Taehyung and Aecha discovered the profound joy that came with embracing the role of parents. The hospital, once a place of anticipation and labor pains, transformed into a cocoon where the foundations of their family were laid, promising a future filled with love, care, and countless memories.

Chaos erupted in the serene atmosphere of the hospital room as sudden gunshots pierced through the air, shattering the peace that had enveloped Taehyung, Aecha, and their newborn daughter, Tannie. The abrupt change from the tranquility of welcoming a new life to the harrowing sounds of violence left the room steeped in tension.

Tannie, nestled in her crib, stirred at the abrupt noise, her innocent eyes reflecting the uncertainty that had befallen the once-calm environment. Taehyung's expression shifted from the joy of fatherhood to the steely determination of a protector as he swiftly moved to secure the safety of his newfound family.

Aecha, still recovering from the rigors of childbirth, clutched Tannie protectively, her instincts kicking in as the sounds of conflict intensified outside the hospital room. The atmosphere became thick with the acrid scent of fear, juxtaposed against the lingering fragrance of the newborn.

Taehyung, a leader in his own right, wasted no time. With a quick, reassuring glance at Aecha and Tannie, he moved decisively, ensuring the room was secure. His men, devoted and vigilant, rallied to defend the hospital against the attackers, the staccato rhythm of gunfire echoing through the corridors.

The hospital, once a sanctuary, transformed into a battleground as Taehyung's men fought fiercely to protect their leader's newfound family. Amidst the turmoil, Aecha clung to Tannie, seeking solace and safety for their precious child.

The war outside the room continued, and the once-tranquil hospital became a backdrop for the clash between two opposing forces. Tannie, oblivious to the external turmoil, blinked up at her parents, unknowingly bringing a flicker of hope in a situation fraught with danger.

The room, now echoing with the dissonance of gunshots and the cries of the wounded, became a microcosm of the struggle for survival. Taehyung, torn between his roles as a father and a leader, navigated the chaos with a steadfast resolve, determined to shield Aecha and Tannie from the storm that had unexpectedly swept into their lives.

The once tranquil hospital room transformed into a chamber of terror as the unexpected assault unfolded. Taehyung, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, soon discovered that it was none other than Bogummy, fueled by an intense rage and determination to reclaim what he believed was rightfully his.

As the clash between the two forces intensified, Taehyung's unpreparedness became a stark disadvantage. The overpowering might of Bogummy and his men pressed forward, swiftly subduing Taehyung and his loyal followers. The once-secured room now echoed with the cacophony of struggle and brutality.

Aecha, in shock and disbelief, watched as the man she once called her husband unleashed a merciless attack. Her pleas and tears fell on deaf ears as Bogummy, driven by an uncontrollable rage, seemed hell-bent on revenge. The cries of Tannie, innocent and oblivious to the tumultuous scene unfolding, added a haunting backdrop to the brutality.

In the brutal confrontation, Taehyung and Jimin found themselves at the mercy of Bogummy's unrelenting wrath. Bound and battered, they became the unfortunate captives in a macabre display of vengeance. Aecha, witnessing the gruesome spectacle, felt her heart shatter with each blow inflicted on the men she had come to care for.

Bogummy, seemingly consumed by madness, reveled in the torment he was inflicting upon Taehyung and Jimin. The room, once filled with the soft cries of a newborn, now resonated with the anguished pleas of a mother begging for mercy and the desperate cries of an innocent child.

The once-celebrated birth of Tannie, a symbol of hope and new beginnings, now stood juxtaposed against the horrors that unfolded. Aecha, torn between her allegiance to Taehyung and the safety of her child, felt a sense of powerlessness as the brutality continued.

As the violence unfolded before her eyes, Aecha clung to Tannie, shielding her from the terrifying reality that had befallen their lives. The hospital room, now stained with the brutality of conflict, became a haunting reminder of the fragility of newfound joy in a world torn apart by vengeance and hatred.

Bogummy's grasp on Aecha's hair was both forceful and cruel, ensuring she had no choice but to witness the brutal spectacle unfolding before her. As he yanked her closer, her eyes widened with terror, and her heart raced in sync with each blow inflicted upon Taehyung.

The room, once a haven of hope and joy, now witnessed a grotesque display of violence. Taehyung, bound and defenseless, bore the brunt of Bogummy's unbridled fury. The merciless kicks and stomps from Bogummy's henchmen created a sickening symphony, each strike echoing through the room like a relentless drumbeat.

Aecha's pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears as she felt the strain on her hair intensify. Her teary eyes were fixated on Taehyung, his face distorted by pain and determination. The sound of Tannie's cries blended with the cacophony of violence, creating a dissonant chorus that underscored the tragedy unfolding.

Despite the torment, Taehyung's resilience remained unbroken. His eyes met Aecha's, a silent exchange of understanding and determination in the face of adversity. Aecha, torn between her anguish for Taehyung and the need to shield Tannie from the horrifying scene, felt a profound sense of helplessness.

Bogummy, reveling in the grotesque theater of vengeance, seemed oblivious to the pleas and cries reverberating within the room. The once serene space now bore witness to an unspeakable darkness, an abyss of brutality that threatened to consume all traces of the joy that had once flourished.

As the violence persisted, Aecha's grip on Tannie tightened. Her gaze, locked in a painful union with Taehyung's, conveyed a silent promise to endure and resist despite the harrowing circumstances. The room, now tainted with the echoes of suffering, became a battleground where the fragility of newfound joy clashed violently with the relentless force of vengeance.
