✨ Flashback — Seoul, 2 years ago

Taehyung POV

> "She didn’t even leave a note."

That was what echoed in Kim Taehyung’s mind the day he returned from the hospital

one hand holding a diaper bag, the other cradling a 3-day-old infant to his chest —

Found their shared apartment  with  whom his shares  completely empty.

No clothes. No photos. No scent of her perfume.

Only silence. And an eviction notice, taped to the fridge like a final slap.

She was gone.

The woman he married.

The woman he built dreams with.

The woman he loved more than he ever loved himself.

one.

Without knowing the man she left behind was the heir to Kim Industries

She doesn't know anything about kim Taehyung...

— the big  empire of real estate,

tech,

fashion,

hospitals,

airlines.

Filthy rich, one of Korea’s youngest CEOs on Forbes under 30,

raised by cold-blooded businessmen who told him love was weakness.

But he'd  never believed in it anyway.

Until she vanished.

...present 💝...

Now — the glass mansion stands on Seoul’s most expensive hilltop.

There are twelve maids. Two chefs. A security team. A fleet of cars that haven’t moved in months.

But for hisHisughter

his moonlight — Taehyung does everything himself.

> “No one feeds her but me.”

“No one brushes her hair but me.”

“She is not a burden. She is what’s left of my heart.

The staff obey. They’ve seen him at 3AM, heating bottles.

They’ve heard him pacing, whispering lullabies in a voice so soft, it doesn’t match the man who once fired a manager for misspending 500₩.

🖋️ Kim taehyung Passion:

Behind every empire… is a man who never wanted the crown.

Taehyung’s true love wasn’t business.

It was literature.

Philosophy.

Teaching.

Not evryone wants to became a professor or teacher ...but he loves simplicity....he loves to teach students morals...

He once told his late mother,

“amma i want to teach minds how to think.

Not just how to make money.”

So after reclaiming control of the company, he set up a shell identity — a professor's license, a forged resume under his second name.

because he doesn't want to show off his power ..he just doing it for his passion ...

And now? He’s a senior literature professor at one of Korea’s top private universities.

Strict. Elegant. Cold. Sharp with words, scarred by love.

Students fear him.

Colleagues respect him.

No one knows who he really is.

*****

🍼 The First Years as a Father:

The first night home with the baby, he cried. Not because he was scared — but because she wouldn’t stop crying and he didn’t know why.

He Googled how to swaddle.

Burnt three bottles before learning how to mix formula.

He read parenting books at boardroom meetings. Burped her while signing million-dollar deals.

Every night for two years, he sang to her — even when she didn’t understand the words.

“Appa’s here. Appa won’t leave you too.”

And now?

His daughter sleeps with one sock off, curls wild,

and tiny fingers always wrapped around his pinky.

She doesn’t cry anymore.

Not when he’s near.

Because to her — Kim Taehyung isn’t a billionaire.

He’s not a CEO.

Not a professor.

He’s just Appa.

And that’s enough.
