Ugly Secret

-2-

It had already been a full two weeks since Taehyung had last spent time with his friends. He had been diligently working from home, pouring his energy into his professional pursuits, and spending a great deal of time with you and your son.

Today, the boys had extended an invitation for all of you to come over for dinner, and you were currently in your room, preparing for the evening's festivities. Meanwhile, Taehyung was in the living room, fully engrossed in playtime with his son.

The sound of their laughter and giggles echoed throughout the house, and you couldn't help but smile to yourself. It was truly the most endearing thing you had ever heard - your husband and your son, playing together, being silly, and laughing without a care in the world.

As you listened to their playful banter, you couldn't help but reflect on the depth of love that you felt for your family. Everyone always said that a mother's love was the most profound kind of love, and now you understood why. You had never experienced anything quite like this before - the joy of waking up in the arms of your husband, the warmth of hearing his laughter mingled with your son's, the overwhelming sense of gratitude that filled your heart for your little family. It was a feeling that you knew you would cherish for the rest of your life.

As you slip into your dress, the fabric caresses your skin like a gentle breeze. You make your way over to Taehyung, your eyes fixed on his handsome face.
"I'm ready!" you exclaim.

But as you approach him, you notice a serious expression etched on his features. Your heart sinks, and you start to worry that he doesn't like your dress. "What's wrong?" you ask, your voice trembling with anxiety. "Don't you like my dress?"

Taehyung looks up at you, his eyes filled with emotion. His gaze lingers on you, as if he's trying to memorize every detail of your appearance. "Wow," he breathes, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've never seen something so beautiful in my life."

You feel your heart swell with joy, like a flower blooming under the sun's warm rays. Taehyung steps closer to you, his arms outstretched, and you feel his warmth and love enveloping you like a soft blanket.

He pulls you into a tight embrace, and you feel his heartbeat against your chest, like a steady drumbeat. You can't help but smile as you hug him back, feeling safe and secure in his arms. "I love you," you whisper in his ear, your voice filled with emotion.

"I love you more," he whispers back, his voice filled with tenderness and devotion. In that moment, you know that you are exactly where you are meant to be, with the person you love more than anything in the world. The world fades away, and all that remains is the two of you, wrapped in each other's love.

"Wow mommy you look like a princess!" As your son gazes up at you with wide-eyed wonder, his innocent admiration fills your heart with a sense of joy and pride. His words, spoken with such pure sincerity, make you feel as though you are truly royalty, a queen in your own right.

"That's true. She's my princess" taehyung embraces you tenderly. His words, spoken softly and with a hint of reverence, affirm your regal status, reminding you of the love and respect that you deserve.

"Let's go before we will be late." you urge, gathering your son into your embrace before leaving.

At last, we arrived at our destination, and Namjoon, the host, greeted us with a warm smile as he opened the door. With a gracious gesture, he welcomed us inside, and as we stepped over the threshold, he extended his arms to take my son from my embrace, cradling him in his arms.

"Hey," Taehyung greeted his friends in the living room, where they were already gathered, engrossed in a video game.

Upon entering the room, you greeted the group with a pleasant smile, but your attention was quickly captured by Jungkook's penetrating gaze. His dark eyes bore into you with an unwavering intensity, and you found yourself consumed by a curiosity as to what thoughts were churning within his mind.
