38. "Felt Alone."
Aufilea's pov
Days later when I heard that my dad returned I kept on having arguments in my head of whether I should go and see him or not. On one side I knew that I needed to go and see him but on the other side all I could think about is how I've hurt him. Not only with my words but with my actions. My mum made it clear that I needed to stay out if I wasn't going to mend anything and that's why I needed to make a decision right away.
The decision between leaving my house and returning back to my parents warm home or leaving their home for good and never returning back all because I'm afraid and ashamed to approach my father.
With enough of my gathered courage I knock on the door standing back anxiously waiting for the door to open up. In all my lifetime, I have never been so frightened to face my parents. It's normal when you're in the wrong to be frightened to tell your parents what you've done and what kind of child you are, but it's really different when you're in the wrong and have said some very cruel things that you know you can't take back, ever.
I suck in my bottom lip really tightly and hope that nothing goes wrong. Finally after much chilling moments, the front door opens up wide with my mum wearing a really nice white wavey dress with pink hearts. Although it hangs down from her shoulders revealing her amazing smooth skin and collarbone, the most breathtaking sight is of her belly bump which has grown from the last time I saw it. Almost the size of a watermelon. She opens the door wider with an arched eyebrow and an amused cackle.
Her bright eyes peek down to my large navy blue rolling suitcase with all my clothes, as well as the two matching navy backpacks attached to my suitcase along with the matching set handbags over my shoulder.
"Hey sweety," she whispers with a tiny hint of sorrow in her voice.
I sluggishly take in a breath and speak. "I am an idiot. I'm such a dumb foolish idiotic selfish wannabe adult and.... I'm sorry, for all the pain that I've caused you and dad. I'm such a terrible daughter–"
"Sweety," she moves closer to me removing all the bags on my shoulder to help me out. "You are not a terrible daughter. You were just really really hurt and mad. I understand, in fact I understand so well because my own parents, kinda did the same thing,"
"Really?"
"Yeah," my mum nods her head while looping our arms together. "But it involved other topics like cheating and stuff like that. Wanna get in a talk about it?"
I look at her with deer like eyes. "That's if you don't mind me living back here with and dad,"
"The doors were always open," she says and smiles as we embrace each other tightly never letting go as I shed a few tears and she pats my back. "Welcome home sweetheart,"
I cackle and roll my bag in as my mum and I walk up the stairs to my room that still looks the same as I last left it. "Hey mum,"
"Yeah," She lays down my bags on the bed looking to me.
"Is...dad here?" I ask nervously.
"He is," She suddenly holds a look of discomfort on her face. "He's in his room, sleeping. But just for his health sake, and I know it's tough..but I need you to just keep your presence here on the low..he hasn't been feeling too well or comfortable at the mention of your name,"
I look down sadly but still nod. I feel her warm arm around my shoulders and look up to her eyes. "Just for a little while,"
I tried penetrating the words out my mouth to say anything that would assure her of my response but the look on my face just told it all.
"C'mon, let's go make some coffee and talk. I wanna talk and be freely honest with you," She smiles trying to cheer me up. I smile trying to clear my mood.
"Alright let me just change into comfortable clothes," I say and she nods her head patting my cheek. After a few minutes when I'm done changing I walk out my room but sneakily go down another corridor to my parents room. I open the door quietly and walk in the little entrance past the bathroom making it to their room.
Their on the bed, under the white fluffy blanket I make out a figure that's breathing making the blanket go up and down. I smile lightly already feeling uplifted that he's alive and seems well just by his breathing and light snores.
When I make it downstairs. I sit on the stool by the counter listening to my mum as she spoke about her family, the one where her sister was still alive.
"My father talked about a lot of things that he never did. And I'm sure he did a lot of things that he never talked about," she shrugs her shoulders sitting down next to me. "But we still loved him. Even though he left my mum for Veronica, we still stuck by him. I didn't want to but Andrea made me. She was the oldest so she knew the real reason why my dad did what he did. I was upset but I trusted her decision,"
"That's tough," I make out from everything she told me. "I knew grandpa Jin was nuts but I didn't think he was actually... normal and could feel real pain."
"You learn to love him as time goes on," She chuckles while sipping onto her coffee.
"Mum," I call out and turn to her. After everything I've gone through, and all the things I've learnt and seen with my own eyes I never once asked my mum about who my aunt was. "Tell me about, her, Andrea... Aunty A," I smile a little thinking upon the nickname of the mysterious woman who I'd never get to know again.
By the generous glow that lights up my mum's face I can tell that I've reached her soft spot. She really loved her sister and uncle Taehyung was also very much in love with Andre and now finally, I'd get to listen to a beautiful story about the awesome soul to have lived this earth. "An old soul who was young at heart. She was balanced and always saw good. She always gave chances and loved with her whole heart. Her words always calmed me and hands always reached deep into my angry and hard heart. With her as my sister... I never once felt alone..ever,"
I sigh nervously. "I wanna be like that too for Gem and Gemma.. I never thought that I'd miss them so much,"
"We should go and fetch them together. They'll be really ecstatic when they see you,"

Third person's pov
Later on at Night, Fiela enters her room with a tray of covered food, gleaming from ear to ear when she sees Gem and Gemma swamping and surrounding their father with lots of things...from books to toys to clothes to little plushies and adorable bright grins on their face. She stands by the wall watching the expression of Jungkook. He's very in to the stories that they tell with big bright eyes.
She also wished for Aufilea to be here with him, she knew that despite her cold actions he would still be good with her. But she knew keeping Aufilea and him far away from each other for now would kind of help to clear the tension. From what Aufilea told her she knew that Aufilea was very scared to face him, almost ashamed to the point where she begged Gem and Gemma not to tell their dad of her presence in the house.
"Alright, alright. Gem, Gemma, you're food is ready downstairs," Fiela speaks up deciding to interrupt their gathering before the food would get cold. "When you're done, you must brush your teeth and then can come back to be with dad,"
With little to no interjection they leave the room promising to be back. They take all their little things with them only leaving the little plushies on the bed. Jungkook puts them to the side a little properly sitting up straight before taking the little table set and placing it over his legs to make it stand.
"There you go," Fiela places the tray down onto the table adjusting the plates and removing all the necessary things. "Enjoy your food,"
Jungkook visibly frowns sadly but thanks her. "I'm feeling terribly bad that you have to carry all this by yourself,"
"It's okay baby," she says sitting down next to his legs on the bed. "I can handle anything for you, pshh and it's just been four days since you came back. Chill,"
"What about the babies?" He asks opening up his chopsticks.
"They can handle it," she flicks her foot back and forth playfully as the other one folds underneath her.
Jungkook enjoys the food as usual but something particular about the fish he's eating captures his tastebuds. "Mmah," he continues eating the spicy noodles with sauce nodding his head and drinking the sparkling water.
"Good?"
"Delicious," he says and twists the noodles around his chopsticks making Fiela eat as well. "Did you already eat?"
"Yes, but for you I can eat again," she giggles slurping the hot noodles in her mouth.
"That's my girl," he smiles carrying on eating. "You'll be eating for four now,"
"You want me to become fat? I'm already heavy without these babies," she rolls her eyes jokingly.
"Mmh," Jungkook gives compliments through the sounds of his moan. "Is Aufilea here? I mean like..has she called or visited lately?"
Fiela is confused a little bit but still answers convincingly. "Uh, why?"
"Because," he picks up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. "The salmon and yuki-dan sauce tastes like the one's she makes. Always spicy and just cooked right with lots of pepper," he chuckles to himself making Fiela smile sadly. "She loves her pepper,"
She kind of feels bad for discouraging Aufilea from speaking to him but it's just so that the tension can decrease. She needed to keep his mind from wondering about her, even if she did make the food he wouldn't have to know that for now. "Hearing you talk about food just reminds me of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Gem and Gemma wouldn't stop talking about it after they went to church,"
"Yeah, by the way what was that all about?" He asks curiously before closing his mouth to chew. "Them going to church and becoming mini saints in the house? I mean, I enjoyed their words... kind of even encouraged me a bit but it just took me by surprise,"
"On the day of your accident we watched you on TV being rolled away on a stretcher..." She sighs thinking of the memory. "It was horrendous. There was just blood everywhere and everything looked messy and gruesome that we all automatically thought that you had died..they literally cried their whole hearts and souls out. I was in no state as well to calm them down as I initiated the fear...I tried to speak but all I remember now is calling Yoongi to come and watch after them as I raced for the hospital.. I don't know what he said to them all I know is that when I came back they wanted to go. I allowed them to go on and they've been going,"
Jungkook sighs closing his eyes. He was a bit thrown back by her careless move to leave the children alone at home to wait for someone that they did not know. But he understood the distress call. Either way he spoke. "Pastor Yoongi... I may not know him well enough, only that he was once a criminal...and hurt you when you were young and... if Aufilea wants, he's her dad too. I'm not against him or anything like that, because If someone like him can change then this world gives me hope. I don't mind him being around my kids but I don't like the fact that they have to see him fight or being attacked,"
"Oh," Fiela nods her head. "They told me about that too,"
Jungkook clears his throat finishing the last bit of his food. "Why was Taehyung even here?"
"Uh, from my understanding it was late at night and Aufilea needed a ride," Fiela shrugs her shoulders realising that this whole conversation would still lead to Aufilea.
"She came?" Jungkook asks just as Fiela tries to divert the attention.
"Mhm, I have 7 more days free from work so I'll be here to prevent any other fights,"
Jungkook scans how Fiela dodges talking about Aufilea is fishing around. "What's wrong?"
She looks up confused. "What?"
"Is Aufilea okay?"
She sighs once again yet answers calmly. "Look, I've noticed how guarded you become when we talk about Aufilea. You begin to have this look of hurt while also trying to show that you're not. Baby I know your missing her and maybe still hurt but I don't like seeing you hurt or overthinking a lot of stuff because you'll whined up limiting yourself and underestimating your parent skills as well as discourage yourself..." She places her hand on his covered legs looking down. "That's why I don't want to bring her up...just for a little while,"
Jungkook briefly nods his head in understanding. It's true what she said, that thinking about Aufilea would make him reserved in his own feelings. His eyes look at her belly and gently smiles. She cared about everyone and constantly put all the problems first forgetting that she shouldn't be stressing. As she was gonna be with twins again and plus maybe Olivia, they'd have to do a lot more parenting and sticking together. "What are we gonna name them?"
Fiela catches on to his gaze firmly placing her hand over her tummy with a pleasing smile that makes its way up her face. "We need to know if their fraternal or identical twins first,"
"Don't go alone or with..Yoongi to do the testing," he says finally finishing with his food and drinking water. He places the tray on the side of the bedside and puts the bed table down bending over to grab her hand causing her to get up and make her way to him. She straddles him giggling when he playfully examines her off the shoulder dress. His lips plant little butterfly kisses over her collarbone inhaling her honey scent. "I wanna be there with you,"
Fiela can hardly say anything as her eyes flatter to a close when he traces hot steamy breathes to her neck gently sucking her sweet spot. She shivers under his touch squirming a little when he nibbles her earlobe. He licks her ear slightly, going back to her neck smirking when she tries clinching her legs closed but he brings his hands down to keep them opening. "Mhm, I'll tease you till you give birth making you quench and thirst for me all at the same time,"
She moans when his thumb rubs circles in her inner thigh. She tries to focus and maintain control over her emotions but it's just too sweet. With enough force she leans back moving away from him even when her heart was melting and forcing her to go back to his touch. But she strengthens herself getting control over herself. "Not if I do it first,"
He smirks and chuckles. "Is that a challenge? You know I have what you want?"
"You know I have what you need?" She plays along getting up carefully and slowly placing her finger on her dress playfully pulling it down revealing her amazing shaped cleavage that got much bigger due to her pregnancy. He gulps and focuses back to her eyes but sees her coy smirk. "Challenge accepted."
