Chapter Eighteen

                                    

                                          
Her eyes were filled with fear. I looked back at Minho. "What did you do to her?" I questioned him. "She looks terrified!"
                          
Minho doesn't respond and leans into Yuri, whispering into her ear. I hear her whimper and then she turns to me. She spoke with a shakey voice. "I wanna go home with daddy."
                          
I was almost in shock, but I could tell what she was really saying by her expression. She didn't want to go. I shook my head. "No. You'll see him Friday Yuri." I could see Yuri relax a bit.
                          
Minho began to get angry. "Why the hell can't she come home with me?!"
                          
"Because it's not your day Kim Minho. Leave." I told him. Yuri starts to wiggle and kicks around, trying to get out of her father's arms. He puts Yuri down before she fell. Yuri comes running to me and I pick her up, holding her tightly. 
                          
Taehyung suddenly steps up in front of us, making it so Minho couldn't reach us. "Leave before we call the cops. You shouldn't even be here. You never spoke to Y/n about showing up." Taehyung glares.
                          
Minho tightens his jaw and lets out a huff and the taps the girl he brought with him. "Let's go."
                          
Once they left, Taehyung turns around to face us. I was busy trying to make sure Yuri was okay. Once Minho was gone, Yuri had a meltdown. She was crying hysterically. "Baby girl, he is gone now..." I tried to comfort her. I could feel tears threatening to fall. Taehyung then steps up, motioning for me to give Yuri to him. I let him take her, but as he did Yuri screamed. 
                          
"No! Mommy!" She scream cries.
                          
Taehyung turns her around to face him, "Yuri-ah, it's me." He says so she would look up at him. Yuri hugs him tightly, crying on his shoulder. Taehyung gently bounces and sways side to side. "Daddy's right here. We are here..." He says to her in a soft comforting voice to soothe her. I rubbed her back, watching her worriedly. I made eye contact with Taehyung, who gives me an expression asking if I was okay. I nodded to him.
                          
About half an hour later, Yuri had fallen asleep on Taehyung's shoulder. She has cried herself to sleep. Taehyung took her to her room as the rest of us stayed in the living room. Yugyeom sits next to me on the couch. He takes my hand in his and I lay ny head on his shoulder.
                          
"Well I'm sure this was an eventful birthday for a three year old." Yugyeom says.
                          
I let out a bitter chuckle and sighed. "Yeah. God this just never ends." 
                          
"So that was her father?" Jimin asks.
                          
I nodded.
                          
"Looks like an asshole." Hoseok mumbles. "How could he even show up?"
                          
"Because he wants to go by his rules. Not what anyone else tells him." I groaned. Taehyung walks back into the living room. I sat up once I saw him. "How is she?" I asked.
                          
"She's fine. Still asleep." He comes over and sits next me. I leaned into him.
                          
Everyone stayed and hung out for a while. Making sure not to be loud and wake Yuri up. Before we knew it, it was getting late and everyone was getting ready to leave. Yugyeom hugs me and then leaves with his members. Jimin and Jungkook give me hugs followed by Jin, Hoseok, Namjoon, and Yoongi. They all gathered their stuff and Taehyung walks up and kisses my head. "I'll see you later. I'll text you."
                          
It pained me to see him leave. I know I had Yuri, but I felt alone. I didn't know how long I could keep all the emotions hidden inside. Before Taehyung could walk away any further, I grabbed and lightly pulled on his arm. Tears filled my eyes when he turns to me. He watched me worriedly as I spoke. "C-can you stay?' My voice shook. I watched Taehyung look back at his members, who were all standing by the door watching us. Jin gives a sad smile and shrugs to Taehyung. He is the first to walk out and the others follow him. Taehyung sighs and gives me a tight hug before pulling away and walking back towards the door.
                          
Thinking that he was actually leaving, I began to just cry. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I needed him with me. 
                          
What I didn't realize was that Taehyung actually just closing and locking the door. He quickly had me back in his arms. I cried onto his chest as he swayed us back and forth, and whispering calming words to me. Once Taehyung felt I was calm enough, we walked back to my room. He lays down next to me, pulling me into his arms. He continues to do everything he could to help me feel calm, and before I knew it. I fell asleep.
                          
When morning came, I woke up feeling very nauseous. I pushed Taehyung's arms off of me and ran to the bathroom. Just as I got to the toilet, I threw up.
                          
Taehyung soon comes in the bathroom and rubs my back. "Are you okay?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bathtub.
                          
"Yeah... I guess something from last night didn't settle well with my stomach." I wiped my mouth eirh a tissue that Taehyung handed me.
                          
"I bet it was seeing Kim Minho." Taehyung mumbles. 
                          
I let out a laugh. "That's terrible." I nudged his leg.
                          
"Oh come on. You can't tell me your stomach didn't turn when he showed up and how he acted with Yuri." 
                          
I nodded. "You're not wrong. But I doubt seeing him made me feel sick."
                          
"You didn't eat very much yesterday. Do you want me to make some food?"
                          
I smiled, "No. It's okay. You have to go soon. I'll just go to the cafe with Yuri, before I take her to the daycare." Taehyung nods and kisses the side of my head.
