Blossom and Thorns / Kim Taehyung Ff.

6. Waves of Conflict.

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting a gentle glow into the room as Taehyung stirred awake. His eyes fell upon Soobin, still lost in peaceful slumber, nestled against his chest. Despite the comfort of the scene, a heavy ache weighed upon Taehyung's heart, a reminder of the tears shed throughout the night.

With a weary sigh, Taehyung pressed a tender kiss to Soobin's head, silently grateful for the solace the younger boy provided in his sleep. Slowly, he extricated himself from the bed, the weight of exhaustion and sorrow clinging to his every movement.

Stepping into the cool embrace of the shower, Taehyung allowed the water to wash over him, a feeble attempt to cleanse the remnants of his troubled thoughts. Yet, even as the droplets cascaded down his skin, the echoes of heartache persisted, lingering like an unwelcome shadow.

Downstairs in the quiet of the dining room, Taehyung settled into a chair, the solemnity of his solitude enveloping him. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, a bittersweet reminder of the morning rituals now tainted by sorrow. Lost in the depths of his contemplation, Taehyung remained alone with his thoughts, grappling with the weight of his emotions in the stillness of the morning.

As Namjoon descended the stairs with his newborn son nestled in his arms, his heart swelled with paternal pride. The three-month-old alpha pup exuded an infectious enthusiasm, his boundless energy a constant source of joy and exhaustion for his parents.

Taehyung, always fond of Namjoon and his mate, couldn't help but smile as he witnessed the tender bond between father and son. Namjoon's eyes twinkled with affection as he greeted Taehyung, the corners of his lips curling into a warm smile. The pup, eager for attention, squealed with delight, tiny hands reaching out towards Taehyung in a silent plea for cuddles.

With a chuckle, Taehyung obliged, scooping the energetic pup into his arms and showering him with laughter and affection. The scene was a testament to the joy found in simple moments of familial love and camaraderie, a bond that transcended the challenges of parenthood and strengthened the ties of friendship.

Taehyung peppered the pup's cheeks with gentle kisses, each one eliciting a delighted squeal and infectious laughter from the baby.

As Taehyung played with the adorable pup, Namjoon's mate joined them, her eyes gleaming with affection as she watched the scene unfold. She couldn't help but smile at the heartwarming sight of Taehyung bonding with their little one.

Meanwhile, Taehyung's heart felt a semblance of peace amidst the chaos of his own emotions. Holding the playful pup in his arms, he found solace in the innocence and joy radiating from the tiny creature.

Y/n's mother observed the tender interaction between Taehyung and the baby with a mixture of emotions.

While she felt a sense of hope seeing Taehyung's warmth and affection, she also harbored concerns about her daughter's decision to reject him. Deep down, she wished for her daughter to find happiness and wondered if Taehyung could have been a part of that journey. However, she respected her daughter's choices and hoped for the best despite the uncertainty lingering in her heart.

As two weeks passed, y/n found herself restricted to only a few steps of movement. Despite her discomfort, Taehyung occasionally visited her room late at night, silently watching over her as the nurse tended to her needs before slipping away. These fleeting moments left y/n pondering, especially considering her mother's growing connection with Taehyung's family.
