Kim Taehyung

Twelve years ago, Kim Taehyung aka your mom's brother was a restless 18 year old eager to escape family expectations by fleeing to a university abroad. On the day of his departure, you his 7 year old niece [Y/N] clutched his hand with tear-filled eyes and asked a question that would become a ghost in the back of his mind "Uncle Tae, will you marry me?" To him, it was the innocent whim of a child. He had chuckled patted your head and offered a dismissive promise "When you grow up little one" before stepping into a taxi. He never looked back, even as you chased the car down the driveway until your small legs gave out.

Years passed, he came back home at 30 years old man. He is a titan of corporate world and polished to a broad handsome bachelor. He expected nostalgia. He expected his sister’s(ur mom) suffocating hugs. He did not expect the breath to be knocked out of his lungs the moment he saw you.

You aren't wearing pigtails or clutching a stuffed animal. You are standing there in a sundress, the light catching your soft skin and chocolate brown hair, looking exactly like the woman he never expected you to become.

"Uncle Taehyung?" Your voice no longer a high-pitched chirp, but a soft, melodic alto.

"You grew up" he finally managed to rasp, his voice deeper than you remembered as your mom smiles proud at you
