Jungkook's POV

"Tae, will you help me reach out to my father? I-I think it's time, but I'm really scared." A cold shiver moves up my spine.

"Of course, I will, Kookie. What would you like me to do?"

"Uh, open my computer and help me to pull up my email." I am restless and shift in my chair as my hands shake.

"Kookie, I know that feeling with my own father, Mr. Choi. I'm happy to help and support you." I give Tae my password and he opens my computer and clicks on the email icon. And there it is. Father's email. The subject line reads 'Merry Christmas Bunny'.

"Oh Kookie! He calls you bunny. That's so sweet." Tae sounds gleeful which helps me to calm down just a bit.

"Y-You don't think that's childish?"

"No Kookie, of course not. It's sweet and very loving. If it's too difficult, can read it." I close my eyes tightly and take in a calming breath and reach over gripping his hand firmly. "Okay," I whisper.

Tae has yet to start reading and my chest starts to tighten. I don't know how I'll react, but I'm happy that Tae's here with me.

"Merry Christmas, Bunny. I hope you're well this Christmas day. I pray that you have found joy in your life and that you're not alone. I think of you every day. But Christmas is always especially hard because I miss my son so much. I busy myself helping others. It lessens my loneliness and it's very fulfilling."

"Bunny, there is something special about this Christmas. I just feel it. Each Christmas I feel hopeful that this will be the Christmas that I will talk to my bunny. That's the most for which I could hope. I m very hopeful today. I'll continue to love you until I stop breathing."

"Father."

As Tae's soft voice stops, I sit in stillness and my eye-gaze is lost in the mountain view, however my stare is vacant. I feels numb and not a part of my body anymore. It's as if I'm hoovering from above looking down and observing. I pull in a deep breath and slowly return to my body. My numbness changes into an electricity that builds from my core. It's a warm comfort that starts to expand through my chest, torso, and limbs.
