TW: mention of death
The world is spinning in front of Taeyang’s eyes now because he wonders how exactly he is supposed to even begin revealing what he believes to be serious matters, issues that Eunbi deserved to know of from the very start of their relationship. He doesn’t dare meet her eyes when he finally speaks up, it’s embarrassing and almost something that he is ashamed of. “Uh, well… I guess I can start with how she isn’t, like… she isn’t actually my mum. I mean, she is, but she—biologically, she isn’t.”
A small crack in the background startles him a little and then, Taeyang flinches slightly in his seat. “Mh, she took me in when my mother, her sister, passed… along with my father.” It’s obvious that Taeyang is uneasy about all of this right now, the subject being one that he has hardly ever talked about before. “Hit and run, when I was two years old.” It’s strange how emotional this makes him, considering how he never really met his parents—still, he misses them. He wishes that they were here.
Everyday she knew that she was learning so much about Taeyang, that there is always a new layer to peel back and find herself falling for everything that he is. Today is suppose to be about celebrating for him yet in the revelation of his past illustrates there is more room for just one cause and emotion in this milestone in his life. This is something Taeyang would forever carry with him.
Eunbi wants to apology but ultimately refrains from doing it, she marvels at his strength and “Thank you,” she starts off in breathless voice. She gaze lovingly at him, in full appreciation that he is sharing this with her and loving him all the more for trusting her enough with this. Eunbi desperately wants to ask where his father is right now but yet again she chooses to go for another route, one she hopes he will not take offence in. “Would you like to visit them?” His real parents to pay respect and to include them in his special day.
