*knock* *knock*

"Chittaphon! You're back! Your mother was..Are you alright? Where's uncle?"

Jaehyun asked me as soon as he opened the door. I looked down.

"Can I please go inside and talk?"

He nodded and pulled me inside, closing the door behind us.

"Son where's your father? Is he speaking to someone outside?" Guilt started eating up every last bit of my soul.

I walked to mother and hugged her tightly,

"Mo..m I,I, I'm s..sorry I failed to.....k..eep my pr-promise."

She shook my shoulders, "What do you mean you couldn't keep your promise? Did you not find your father? Maybe he's still-"

Tears I tried to hold back didn't listen to me anymore, I shook my head letting droplets of emotions falling on the floor.

"No mom. Father is..dead."

"W-what?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't save him. I watched his life getting sucked out right in front of my eyes and I-I....couldn't do anything. I'm so sorry mom!"

I broke down again, all the crying making me extremely tired as I slumped onto the hard floor.

Mother kneeled down and pulled my head up by my collar, shaking my shoulders,

"Why didn't you do anything if it happened right in front of your eyes? WHY DID YOU COME BACK WITHOUT YOUR FATHER WHEN YOU COULD'VE SAVED HIM!!!!"

I blinked.

She's right. I could've saved him. Maybe stop his bleeding and carry him to a doctor's clinic. I didn't realise that I could've done that.

"I'm sorry that I came back. I-I could've..."

I watched her bawl her eyes out as my heart broke, my ever smiling mother, was crying in front of my eyes because I wasn't able enough to save my father.

I'm the worst child anybody could ever wish for. I held onto her shoulder, pulling her close to me so that I could hug her when she pushed me away,

"Don't even dare call me your mother again."

Huh?

No what?

More tears started flowing from my eyes,

"M-mom what are you-"

"I SAID DON'T CALL ME YOUR MOTHER AGAIN!!"

"No please don't say that you can't do that to me!"

*sob*

She left the room as I kept crying, Jaehyun and his mother were standing behind the door.

As soon as she left, Jaehyun came rushing in seeing my state but

I, it hurts again. I can't keep up. I want to die. I.. I'm sorry mother.

𝐉𝐚𝐞𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐧'𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐯:

What's going on in there? Chittaphon didn't tell me anything so I decided to wait outside the room as he spoke to his mother.

Suddenly, the door opened and his mother came out with a tear-streaked face.

I looked inside the room to see Ten slumped onto the floor, his head clutched between his hands.
