Faded cries | minsung

🥀was for you🥀

Jisung signed his name at the bottom of the page and quickly handed it to his wife, soon to be ex-wife actually. He just kept staring at the papers and the desk, not daring to meet anyone's eyes yet. He could see Kaito in the waiting room accompanied by Minho and Nicaise, each of the two holding his little hands.

This was the only thing keeping Jisung sain in the moment, the only thing giving him hope.

"Well the papers are signed, but you still have to have a trial for how you will take care of your child...I will let you discuss it first and you can talk about it further on with the jury...good luck to you both" he gave a professional smile and they both got out of the room speechless. They had separated all of the goods, Kate ended up keeping the house and Jisung would find another place for the mean time.

When they came out his blood was as cold as ice, their stares bold and completely lost at the same time.

"Jisung" Minho had placed a hand on his shoulder and he flinched but when he saw who it was, he simply smiled. He hugged him close and hid from the world under the tall shodow that Minho set for him.

"It's almost over..." he continued and rubbed his back gently, looking over at the door of the waiting room opening and closing as Kate left. Kaito was still seated on the chair he had been for hours, looking up at his dad.

"Will I still mommy after this...?" He asked, so jisung bent his knees and cupped his soft face.

"I don't know baby...I don't have all the answers right now...but would you like to?"

"Yes..." he said it like it was guilt coming out of his mouth. He would miss his mom no matter what she would do, he was still a child.

"Then I'll make sure you see her again, is that okay with you?"

The boy nodded slowly and Minho sat next to him, handing him a few toys.

"Go speak with her..." Minho whispered and he locked eyes with his lover for a few seconds.

"I'll be back" he replied and left to go outside to see a woman with long brown hair seated at a bench under the rain. Jisung sighed and went to sit next to her, putting an umbrella over both theirs heads. They stayed silent for a while, but he knew that the water droplets weren't only coming from the sky, she was crying.

"What do you want?" She said, her head lowered and tears dripping down her lips.

"I want to talk about Kaito..."

"I know you'll want him in full custody and now that you know my weak spot you can have that...you can send me to jail and let me rot there for a couple of years, have me pay a ransom..."

"But I won't do any of this."

She looked at him for a brief moment, confused.

"What?"

"You heard me. I won't file a repost against you, but I'm exchange I want to have full custody over Kaito, he lives with me full time...you can pay him visits. That is all I ask in return" Jisung got up once she nodded and continued crying, he held the umbrella firmly.

"Once last thing before I go."

"You want to know if I told your mother...don't you?"

Jisung nodded and she chuckled miserably.

"I haven't..." she mumbled and let the rain fall all over her hair and tears.

"Thank you then...I'll see you soon Kate"

She didn't respond and just stared at her reflection at the bottom of her feet. He walked away and entered the building again, joining Nicaise, Minho and his son.
