Rain...

It has been raining all day long, drenching all the areas it comes to, including the city of Seoul.

I tightened the coat that Taeho was wearing, his face looked gloomy and uninspired.

I know he's disappointed.  It's his birthday, he never asked anything from his father except that one.  Time, he always asked for time from his father, but he never got any.

I gently stroked his black hair.

"Father must be coming, mother reminded him earlier. Taeho don't frown like that."  I said trying to persuade Taeho who still looks gloomy.

It's his birthday party, he should be cheerful, hanging out with his friends and blowing out candles together, but he didn't do it all, he only invited one person, namely his father.

'I just want daddy'

I clearly remember Taeho's screams of wanting his father to attend his birthday party.

But unfortunately, Taeho only got another rejection from his father.

'Dad will work on that, okay honey.'

His father answered this morning, and made Taeho pout in annoyance all day until now.

"Taeho, it's time for us to go home,

Let's wait for dad at home, okay?"

I tried to persuade Taeho to come home, because it was already midnight.  Taeho just nodded resignedly.

"I promise, if dad is not in Taeho's room tomorrow morning, mom will drag dad out of his office."  I said in a furious tone that I made up, and it managed to make Taeho giggle in amusement.

"The one with the father will lock the mother in the house first."  Taeho said he knew exactly what would happen if I did that.

"No, it wouldn't have happened if mom did it with Uncle Jungkook's help," Taeho nodded in agreement.

"Cha, let's go home. Uncle Jungkook is waiting outside."  I gripped Taeho's hand tightly, somehow I felt I didn't want to let go of the ladder for a second.

And in the next second I remember clearly, Taeho said the words that to this moment still echo in my mind.

"Mom... Please tell dad how much I miss him."  Taeho said with a smile, his eyes looking at me with a look that I don't know how to interpret.

I smiled and mumbled, "You can say it directly to dad, honey," Taeho just nodded and walked out of the place.

And I never thought that was the last word that came out of the little lipsTaeho.
