DARK MISSION (The Series)

"I once stood between two choices between my lover or my daughter. I chose my daughter and in the end I lost her. And now, I'm back in two pretty much the same choice, the difference this time is, between you and someone I consider my sister. Which should I choose now?"
___oO0Oo__
Along the way after his meeting with his mother, Taehyung continued to stare at each trip while thinking of ways to be free. The mother's threat never played around. Even though her mother knew about her deceased granddaughter, it didn't change things. He only cares about his descendants but does not care about the woman who has given birth to his offspring. No matter how much his son loves the mother of his granddaughter. The middle-aged woman was in fact very ambitious.
"It can't be allowed, I have to end it. I'm not gonna let go of it again. I will never let go of it even if the choice is my wealth or my woman? I'll keep holding his hand." Monologue in the middle of his journey. The car he was driving even drove at high speed, as if he wanted to quickly meet the woman he loved so much.

"Irene-yya, how is the preparation? You've been looking for a dress for tomorrow night's meeting?" Ask Ny. Bae to her daughter who was sitting while checking some of her work report files. The girl who was sitting at the desk in her room turned her head and smiled in greeting. "Of course, Hyuna chose a very beautiful dress for me." She answered with a sweet smile as usual. Mrs. Bae smiled as she rubbed her daughter's black mane. The sad look at his smiling daughter made him even more unwilling to let go of this beloved daughter. The engagement will be done soon, a while ago Ms. Kim, who is Taehyung's mother, contacted him and told them that his meeting would be accompanied by an engagement between the two families and then set the date of the wedding.
I don't know what she thinks. Kim to change the plan that was once only a dinner event, now even seems to accelerate the planning that will end the wedding.
"Mother, is there anything that bothers you?" Irene asked as she realized her mother's gaze was now sad, as if she was thinking about something that made her sad. "No son, I'm just thinking about how to live a mother without her beloved daughter." The answer made Irene smile.
"What do you think? This mother's daughter is not married yet. Anyway, meeting's just for dinner, right?" Said, Madame. Bae smiled and nodded.
"Yes, but--" Mrs. Bae pauses her speech but Irene remains silent to hear the continuation, even though she feels something is bothering her mother's mind. "Mrs. Kim called me, saying that they would have an engagement with you tomorrow. And hasten the marriage." Hearing that, Irene rounded her eyes and stood up.
"What do you mean mom? Ma'am, me and Mr. Kim Taehyung doesn't know each other yet. Even this is our second meeting." He said with great worry, because Taehyung's extremely cold nature made him so worried how would it be after marriage? He just wanted to undergo further introduction, so that there was no awkwardness between them after marriage.
"What can you do, miss. Kim just wants to speed up her marriage. After all, his son is very kind and can be responsible for you. Isn't he a perfect man?" Right, he is indeed perfect, he is handsome, well established and also responsible. Only, the man was too cold, naturally Irene did not want an awkward relationship. After all, marriage is not just about staying on the same roof and sleeping on the same bed. But the process of life that will be lived every second after marriage. Can they not be awkward with each other all the time? How do you start if both of them still feel foreign?
"Mom, I-i-"
"Irene-yya, my mother and father were also in a match, we never even communicated with each other. We even met only once when our parents introduced each other and directly chose the wedding date. You see now, we're still together and there you are." Irene looked away from face. I want to scream and laugh.
"But when you were married, there was a woman who was hurt. That's dad's girlfriend, right? Mom, even I still remember how devastated you were when I found out that you actually had a boyfriend before you married you. Then when I was five, you threatened to divorce me and take me away if I didn't leave. Mom, you and I are both women. Did you ever think that the same thing would happen to me if I married a man I didn't know?" Hearing that, Mommy. Bae even quietly. That's right what her daughter said, when she and her husband were married. It turned out that her husband had a lover, even they were still in love after the wedding. It was only discovered when her daughter was five years old. At that time the quarrel between her and her husband was known to Irene, even her husband begged her not to bring Irene. Since then her husband has preferred her to her daughter, Bae Irene. Even the woman who used to be Mr. Bae went somewhere. The woman seemed to be lost in the earth.
"That's over, don't ever bring up that problem again. Son, I am very sure, that young man is a very good young man. Never mind, you better prepare yourself. Good night." Mrs. Bae opted out after peeping her daughter's forehead and giving a gentle swipe at the top of Irene's head.
"He is handsome and rich, but his attitude is not as rich as his wealth, not as handsome as his face."

"Did he forget his way home? Why haven't we arrived yet? Didn't he say just go for a while?---"
~Ting
The sound of the door opening also distracted Hyuna who had only grumbled since she was upset because her Taehyung had not returned. The man said an hour ago he was on his way home, but he had not been back for three hours. Actually on the way where is he? Was Busan's trip to Seoul what he meant? Oh, that's right.
"Yes, Kim Taehyung, what a you-" Hyuna paused when she saw her lover come drunk, the man was even being escorted by his bodyguard. "What happened, why was he drunk?" He asked while taking over the drunk man from the embrace of Taehyung's bodyguard. Hyuna slightly grimaced as Taehyung rummaged in her arms, a very pungent smell of alcohol. This guy wouldn't be this drunk if for no reason. True, Hyuna knows Taehyung better than anyone. Taehyung never drank this much until he got drunk to go home with someone if he didn't have a problem.
"Boss met the big lady, and the barista club called us to pick up Boss, and then Boss asked to take her to Miss Lee's apartment." He said after handing over his Boss to Hyuna. The girl let out a rough sigh, something must have happened considering that this battle between mother and son had been so fierce all along.
"All right, thank you." He said, The three-man Bodyguard bowed and said goodbye to leave. After they left, Hyuna painstakingly packed Taehyung into her room. The girl did not stop thinking, what this time made Taehyung so drunk. Is it still related to him or something else. He better ask Taehyung tomorrow, now the man is better to sleep, because if he asks now Taehyung will never take him seriously.
"Hyuna-yya, you are so beautiful and fragrant. You're still using the soap I like and making me opiate." Just look, this guy just keeps messing around. There was no answer, Hyuna just continued to help Taehyung walk until he reached her room. Hyuna helps Taehyung lie on his bed, opens his tie, and his pantople shoes. Hyuna also helped Taehyung remove one by one the buttons of his shirt, wiping Taehyung's chest with a wet cloth. After which, Hyuna sighed and looked at Taehyung who was already sleeping quietly. Hyuna went to take Taehyung's dirty clothes and kept a bowl of warm water that wiped Taehyung's body. Not for the whole, Hyuna just wiped the stomach up only. Even Taehyung was still wearing material pants that since the morning he was wearing, Hyuna just changed her clothes because she knew that Taehyung could never sleep comfortably in dirty clothes, without exception pants. Hyuna couldn't possibly be that brave to replace Taehyung's calana even though the man had become her lover again.

"Sun, can you figure out something?" Ask the person you are calling through a voice call.
"What's wrong? What do you need, talk I'll help you."
"Taehyung came home drunk last night, his bodyguard said, Taehyung met with Ny. Kim´s. Can you find out what the plan is. Kim, does this have anything to do with me?"
"That's so easy, I'm gonna hack his data. You just focus on your man. Let me work this time." He exclaimed confidently, Hyuna smiled and thanked him, after which they ended the call. Then Hyuna went to her room to sleep. There was only one room in his apartment, that was why he inevitably slept in one bed with Taehyung.
-
The night had changed by morning, Kim Taehyung had just opened his eyes. Looks a little swollen after waking up. His lips were slightly pursed, the man rubbed his eyes and yawned, stretched his muscles and looked at every corner of the room, looking for someone he really missed. It's just that he was a little frustrated because the mother was so annoying. "Where is he?" He muttered as he did not see his Hyuna in the room. Until finally the attention leads to the door of the room that opens slowly. The corner of his lips was interested in forming a smile when he saw the beautiful figure he had been looking for, who else if not his lover Hyuna.
"Darling, I've been looking for you ever since. Why don't you wake me up, hm?" The man threw a protest after Hyuna sat on the edge of the bed and placed a bowl of drunken reliever soup on the nightstand. "What's your good sleep? It seems more than good." He said in his cold tone. Taehyung glanced at the bowl of soup then scratched his non-itchy nape. He just realized that he had just been caught off guard had gotten drunk and must have made Hyuna a problem.
"What is this soup for me?" Hyuna rolled her eyes puffed. "Of course, who do you think is drunk?" He said it made Taehyung feel a little guilty. The man spoiled and hugged Hyuna from behind, landing her head in the recess of Hyuna's neck, even occasionally she sniffed the fragrance of Hyuna's neck.
"I'm sorry, I just-I haven't had a drink in a long time. My work is very much, so I take the time to drink."
I guess, he wouldn't say it. But fortunately his bodyguard told him about his encounter with Mrs. Kim, and it's lucky Sehun wants to help me.
"You can drink with me, why drink alone?" Taehyung sighed then loosened his embrace, cupped his lover's cheek and looked at him so deeply. Hyuna's heartbeat even felt like she was ready to explode. Taehyung's gaze was always his weak point. Hyuna turned her head and swallowed her rough saliva, trying to avoid that gaze. Of course making Taehyung smile, he managed to tease his lover. Her arms even lifted to pull Hyuna's jaw for the girl to look back at her. Taehyung smiled warmly.
"Hyuna-yya, you believe me don't you?- You believe that I love you so much, right?" Ask with a hopeful look. While Hyuna frowned confusedly. Why did Taehyung suddenly ask like this.
"What did you say? Of course I believe." He said, Taehyung smiled and rubbed Hyuna's cheek gently and carried the girl in her arms. Even very tightly, Hyuna just frowned, although still confused but she replied to Taehyung's greeting.
"Have it, do not speak the no-no, now eat the soup and then take a bath. You smell so much alcohol" he said, giving Taehyung an easy-to-reach reflex to kiss his own body. The man smiled at the box as he slightly smelled the alcohol still stuck to his body.

"Mom, does this look good?" Irene brought her a special cake to welcome the guests who were coming tonight. Mrs. Bae looked over and smiled proudly. "That looks really good, Taehyung and Ny. Kim will love it." The answer is while slicing vegetables that they are preparing to make a salad.
Today Irene and her mother are busy cooking for dinner and her engagement. Kim plan. Although only a meeting of two families, it still must be welcomed properly to start a good impression. "Where's Hyuna? Isn't he going to help us?" Mrs. Bae asked, Irene smiled as their bell rang. "It looks like she lived a long life, I just asked her." continued Ms. Bae while smiling. He was sure that the one who came was Hyuna.
"Yes, why did you just come? You said you'd come in the morning?" Irene pursed her lips. Hyuna chuckled and grabbed Irene's arm.
"Sorry, this morning my cat was so spoiled. I have to serve him first." He said it made Irene frown in confusion, since when did Hyuna keep her cat think so.
"Do you keep cats? Why did I just find out?" Her question made Hyuna scratch her non-itchy nape. Not really a cat, but Taehyung. The man does not want to be left behind, Taehyung just wants to spend time with his girlfriend all day, because the night he has a meeting with his client. That was what Taehyung said, while Hyuna whined to help her father's personal doctor who was going to make the engagement. But due to Taehyung's stubbornness, Hyuna relented and left in the afternoon after Taehyung went to see his bodyguard for a job. Taehyung wanted to take Hyuna away, but the girl refused. There was a small quarrel but Hyuna managed to convince Taehyung, and finally Hyuna went alone.
"Forget it, is it all done." Irene nodded and smiled.
"Everything's ready, let's go to the kitchen, my mom made you your favorite pudding." He said it made Hyuna round her sparkling eyes. Mrs. Bae is very kind to her, spoiling her like her real daughter. That was what made Hyuna love the Bae family so much. They are now enjoying pudding in the kitchen while all the food has been served nicely on the dining table. Just waiting for the family of Irene's prospective fiancee.
"I'm so nervous." Hyuna smiled then clasped onto Irene's arm which was already feeling cold and sweaty.
"Calm down, everything's gonna be okay." He said he made Irene smile.
-
"Mrs, the Kim family has arrived. They're in the living room." A servant to Mrs. Bae and Irene. Hyuna smiled as she looked at Irene's nervousness. "Eonnie, relax." Said.
"Irene, let's welcome them." Bring Ny. Bae to her daughter, Irene clasped Hyuna's arm to go together. But a moment later Hyuna's phone rang. It was from Sehun, Hyuna smiled stiffly at Irene.
"I'll catch up, I have an important call first." She said, Irene and Miss. Bae smiled too. They left first while Hyuna went to the backyard to receive a call from Sehun.
-
"Welcome, Miss. Kim and Young Master Kim Taehyung." Said Tn. Bae, who had just come to greet them, was followed by his wife and daughter. Taehyung and Mrs. Kim stood up and bowed. Different from Mrs. Kim who looks friendly, Taehyung actually still shows his cold face. He was upset that his mother was coming, but he was going to go alone, after all he only came to thwart this matchmaking. But it seemed that the Bae family was very kind to welcome him, even they were wearing very fancy clothes for the size of the dinner event only. Taehyung ended up just being indifferent.
"I'm here to talk about something, I just want--"
"What if we just speed up the engagement." Resist Ny. Kim cuts off Taehyung's words, making Taehyung round his eyes in disbelief, while Mr. Bae and Ms. Bae only smiled, as did Irene who was still silent withholding embarrassment.
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Taehyung Sarkas.
"Taehyung-ah, what do you mean? Of course, this meeting is not just a dinner. We're gonna have an engagement between you and Miss Bae. After that we should set a date for your wedding----"
~PRANGG....
The sound of the shards made everyone look over. Just as Taehyung's gaze met the person causing the noise, Taehyung rounded his eyes and stood up to follow the others.
"Hyununa-yya..." Taehyung muttered when he saw Hyuna who looked disappointed even her eyes had turned red, the blocked tears had now escaped already. Irene who was staring at Taehyung was confused, why Taehyung knew Hyuna. It even looks very worried.
"Hyuna, are you okay?" Ask Ny. Bae, hearing that, hyuna blinked her eyes and wiped away her tears immediately. Smiling as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry, I'm too happy to hear the good news. I-I'll bring a new cake. Sorry to mess up your conversation." He said very nervously, Taehyung clenched his arms. She understood, meaning Irene was the doctor Hyuna was telling her about. The man moved his feet closer to Hyuna, crouched down to help her lover. Make Ny. Kim stared in anger, while Hyuna could not hold back her tears even her arms shook violently.
"Mr Kim, let me do it. Please come back." What the hell is this Hyuna, why is she acting like Taehyung is a nobody. It even makes Mrs. Kim smiled with satisfaction. A girl who knows herself enough thinks.
"Hyuna-yya-"
"Mr Kim, I'm Irene eonnie's sister, please take good care of my sister, she's a very nice girl and smart-ah yeah, Eonnie suddenly I just got a call, I've got a call, I need to get to the office. I'm going to go now." He said then bowed.
"Hyuna-yya, is it really important? Eat first just go." Irene said, Hyuna smiled and tried hard.
"I'll call you when my work is done."
"Lee Hyuna, stop playing around!" Taehyung's murmuring with emphasis made Hyuna and the others round her eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
"I SAID STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH ME! WHAT'S YOU--"
"Taehyung-ah, come. We need to finish your engagement." Firmly Ny. Kim´s.
"Go back, don't make it hard for me." Whisper Hyuna, Taehyung did not think about this girl, what did he say? Makes it hard, what he thinks. His arms even clenched firmly, greatly disappointed in Hyuna.
"Is this what you think? You don't love me?" Murmuring like a demanding whisper, Hyuna swallowed her saliva with difficulty. He glanced at Bae and Kim's family. Then smile.
"Mr Kim, remember my message. You have to be nice to my brother!" He said it managed to make Taehyung very sick and annoyed.
"Well, fine if this is your request I'll send you an invitation letter soon."
~Deg
Hyuna stared at Taehyung's back, which was getting further away. The girl lowered her head and left with a broken heart.
"Let's finish the show." Said Tn. Bae's. With a face full of anger Taehyung followed every procedure that had been planned. Finally tonight Taehyung is officially engaged to Irene.

"You're here it turns out." Hyuna turned her head and smiled softly as Sehun had just sat down beside her. They are now sitting in the park. Sehun told Hyuna about Ms.'s plan. Kim about Taehyung's engagement to Irene. How could he tell the truth about his relationship with Taehyung, given how good Irene was to him, even when she was at her lowest, only Irene and Bae's family were by her side until she finally met Sehun.
"It's all done. He's getting further, I can't reach him. I should have realized everything from the beginning." Sehun smiled softly and embraced his best friend, Hyuna smiled but her tears could not lie how broken her heart was at the moment.
"I've been away from him for years, I've managed to get away from him, but why should I go back to him and get hurt?"
"Hyuna-yya, relax, I'm here with you. You are a very strong woman. Everything's gonna be fine. Something that's already yours will still be yours."
"No, it's not all the same. Now the fortress that stands between me and him is too strong, even if something can tear down the fortress, I will never be able to destroy it." The girl sobbed, so poignant that it was like losing something very important in her life. Between love and family, both are very important.
"I love you, but she's like my sister. Taehyung-ah, this time I will completely forget you."
