He now cupped my face with his palms and my fingers wrapped around his wrist. I sobbed not looking at him as he lifted my face . My wet eyes shut.

„Please tell me you are not gone back to him! Please!" he whispered. I squeezed my lips together and shook my head in denial in his Palms.

He sighed in relief.."Where were you six months?!"

I don't , no I couldn't answer. I was just sobbing.My eyes still shut. I couldn't look at him. Maybe I was to ashamed or maybe I was afraid that he says he moved on and found a girl he fell in love with.

„Eon-Jin go home and tell mom I found what I was searching for so long!"

I opened my eyes and looked him straight in his face. Then my eyes went to this girl who was with him and she smiled.

„Joy?Right?" she asked me.

„Go Home Eon-Jin!" Tae's Voice was so calm and she bowed to me and left.

My heart was racing. I was so excited. Couldn't believe he held me . His  Touch, Just he standing with me here.

„You were looking for me?" I said still sobbing.He sighed and his warm palms still holding my face.

„Until today!" he whispered to me.
He pulled my face close to his. I felt his warm breath on my face. My heart was pounding.

„Tell me you still love me!" he breathed against my lips.

I nodded. „ I do!" my tears ran down my face. I imagined he would never want to talk to me again, let alone see me and now he is about to kiss me.

„Why did you run away? I came back to the hotel and you were gone! Without leaving a message or something like that!"

„After all what happens I just needed time for myself." I replied.

„I decided I would never stop loving you until I found you and you told me you felt nothing for me!" I could see tears filling his eyes.

„Tae! I really need to tell you something important!"

„Whatever it is can wait. I don't want this moment to pass!" and his lips touched mine gently. We kissed, both sobbing, his palms gently squeezed my cheeks. The salt of our tears mingled.  I took my hands from his wrist and embraced his body. Leaning my head against his chest so that I could hear his heart beating fast. I never wanted to let him go. I hoped all this was not just a dream and I would wake up and he would no longer be there. He began to kiss my cheeks , my forehead, the top of my head.

„I can barely believe I have you back!" he whispered.

„Tae, I was actually going to come see you tomorrow because.. because I ... oh gosh...!" I could barely speak.

„Joy!" he lifted my chin to face him. I took his hand and slowly guided to my baby belly. I thought if not now then maybe never. I was excited , maybe he would end it all now after all. I carefully put his hand on my baby belly.

„That's what I wanted to tell you!" I whispered.

He narrowed his eyes. „ I ..I don't understand!" he said and looked down to his Hand on my belly.

„It's yours Tae!" I whispered.

„Pregnant?But Jimin..?!" he could hardly speak.

I shook my head „He can't make Baby's."

„Joy , don't fool me !" he stroked slowly over my belly , eyes still narrowed.  „ How?.. Okey.. I know how ! „ he smirked. „But when?"

I smiled and said „ I think it happened right in the first night on your couch!"

„You really mean .. are you sure .. that I .. gosh!"

„That it is yours? That you are his father? We can do a test for if you want.I know Jimin didn't lie to me, but to be really sure we can do this test. Okay?"

He took my face in his palms again and looked at me. I smiled. I was happy .

„Marry me!" he said.

„What?" I was shocked.

„I'm serious! Marry me! I never want to lose you again. Damn it Joy , I love you! Marry me!... say yes!" he leaned his forehead to mine.
„Say yes!" he whispered.

My heart was pounding so bad. I couldn't believe it. Tae .. we just found each other again, don't you think we should talk about everything?"

He pulled my face towards his.

„Fuck on Talking. Marry me.. marry me.. marry me!" then he kissed me passionately.

When we loosened the kiss I whispered:„ Okay before I give you my answer who was that girl with you?" I raised my eyebrows smiling.

„My little sister!... Marry me Joy!" he smiled.

„Yes!... Yes.. yes Kim Taehyung !" I bite my lips .

„I love you so freaking much Sweetheart!"

„Love you too !"

FIVE YEARS LATER NEW YORK....

„Wake up Appa! Wake up!" Taehyung sighed and slowly woke up.

„Stop jumping up and down on my bed Bunny!"

„Appa Appa! Auntie Eon Jin is coming from Korea today! Where you and Mommy are from!"

„I know Bunny! Come here and cuddle with your Appa!"

Taehyung spread his Arms and his little girl jumped right in and laid her head on his Chest. He kissed the top of her head and a tear fell down his cheek.

„ You know Appa loves you so much ! Right Bunny?" and she nodded.  „Good!" and he padded her head.

„Appa ?! Tell me a story !"

„So early in the morning? I'm not really in the .."

„Please !" she cut him off and pouted.

„Alright..!" he sighed „wich one do you want to hear!"

„Mommy's Story!"

„Mommy's?" his stomach tightened.

„Yes ! Soon it will be Mommy's and my special day again and we'll fly to Korea for the first time to visit her!"

„Okay!" he whispered, turning his hand to his nightstand and looking at the wedding photo.

„Your Mommy was so beautiful!" he started..

„Like me . Right Appa? I even have the same name as her. Kim Joy!"

„Yeah right Bunny. You look just like her!" he stroked over Bunny's hair.

„Did you fall in love with Mommy first or did. she fall in Love with you?"

Taehyung smiled and remembered the day when he first met Joy.

„Oh I was the one who fell in love with her on the spot!"

„Appa?" Bunny sat up and looked at Taehyung.
„Am I the reason why Mommy left us?"

Taehyung also sat up and took her small chin in his hand. „Joy! Don't ever say that again. Your Mommy loves you with all her heart! Okay!"

„Did she hold me in her Arms one more time before she left?"

„She held you close !" he whispered, struggling with his tears.

„Appa?" Joy started to sob. „Why did I never get to meet Mommy?"

Taehyung swallowed the lump in his throat and took his daughter in his Arms.

„I don't understand it either Bunny! She was healthy and nothing indicated complications."

Taehyung and Joy got married just two weeks after they found each other again. The pregnancy went smoothly. But when the birth of Bunny began, everyone was excited. But already during this time Joy showed problems with her heart. But no one noticed it immediately. When Bunny was half way out then Joy started to get weaker. After a few minutes Bunny was born it was already too late. She held her daughter in her arms kissed her and looked at Tae. Her last words to him was „ I love you forever!" then she died. Taehyung wasn't present at her funeral. His grief was eating him up.
Until today, he has never been to her grave.

„I miss you Mommy so much !" he hugged his daughter even tighter.

On this evening he sat with Eon Jin. Bunny was happy to see her Aunt.

„Father says you have to return to Seoul and fulfil your obligations."

Tae sipped his glass of water. „My obligation is my daughter!"

„Come back Taehyung. Joy should know her roots or don't you think so? It's been almost 5 years.!"

Tae stood up and walked to the large window of his Apartment.

„I promised Bunny that we would visit her mother's grave on her birthday. After that , I'll returning back to New York."

Eon Jin sighed „ Come to Seoul first and everything will fall into place!"

Bunny came running out of her room tiptoeing, in her hand a sheet of paper.

„Appa Look , I made this for Mommy." she held the piece of paper out to him smiling.

Taehyung smiled back and took the drawing of his daughter. When he looked at it tears welled up. She had painted him, like children paint people. They were stick figures. Her in the middle.

„Appa Look , that's you , that's me and that's Mommy!" she had painted her mother wings on her back. She was an Angel , maybe her guardian Angel. Joy walked over to her aunt and Eon Jin lifted her onto her lap.

„Come back to Korea!" she looked at Taehyung.
„For Bunny!"
