Taehyung: Mom, when is Dad coming home?

Mom and I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for the family, but it seems that dad is running a little late than usual. Mom looked down at her wrist watch to see the clock before looking at me with the smile on her face.

Mom: your dad is just running late. Let's just finish up okay?

I nodded as I went back to cutting up the lettuces. I slightly turned my head towards my mom again to see her face much down. It was like she was in deep thoughts with a sad face planted on her face. I wondered what could make my mom so down, but I just let it be. That was my first mistake at age 7. Never point out the obvious.

Mom: Good Morning, Tae. Its time to go to school

I felt my mom kissed the top of my head as my eyes was barely opening due to the sunlight shunting in my room. I groan at the though of me getting up, but I didn't need a second more when I heard my dad voice. I bolted out of my bed and headed straight towards the kitchen. From the distance I see my dad cooking some breakfast, while my mom is feeding my baby sister. I was just about to walk in to greet my father, but i felt this eager to stay back.

Dad: Can you get me the kimchi from the fridge for me?

Mom: you can get it yourself, I'm taking care of your daughter.

Dad: I'm talking to our son, who is just standing there by the door way.

His face was annoyed but quickly looked pleased as he looked towards me. I nodded toward my father as I let out a "good morning" while passing both parents. I grabbed the kimchi from the fridge, and handed it towards my dad.

Dad: Thank you, why don't you get wash up before eating okay?

I slightly looked towards my mom to see her face was tight, like she was holding back some words. I never knew why she looked so angry, but I guess it was just something dad said.

Taehyung: Okay, i'll be done in a bit.

He rubbed the top of my head just before I walked out of the kitchen. Mistake 2 at age 11. Never get in between parents when they're upset.

I was waiting for my dad outside of my school since I wasn't feeling too well. I feel bad knowing that I'll be leaving y/n when we have a presentation later on today, but I just need some sleep. I looked down at my wrist watch to see my dad is 30 mins lates.

Taehyung: where is he?

I sat on the edge of the school gate as I waited, it was a little troubling to keep my eyes opened, but lucky for me I didn't had to wait long at all. A car pulled up in my view which alerted me to be awake. I got up from the ground to notice it was my mom in the car instead of my dad. Mom should had been at work for another 3 hours since she was pulling an all night-shift for a few days now, making my dad present in the mornings. That would have explained her face looking a bit drained like she had been crying. I got into the car to hear my mom voice completely drained out her soul. She touched my forehead to feel my burning fever.

Mom: My poor baby, your father didn't check you before he drop you off to school.

Taehyung: No, I heard him on the phone earlier saying he will be arriving somewhere soon. I just assume he was called into work early.

Mom: He was huh...

Her eyes slowly started to glisten from the tears. She thought I didn't see that, but I did. She wiped them away as she just smiled at me before she started driving.

Mom: Your father won't pick you up for a while honey. Just bare me time okay?

Taehyung: Why? Why won't dad pick me up? Is he stuck at work? Has another -

Mom: He's just busy okay. Just no more question, okay?

At that moment I heard her voice much different than before, it was much darker that I can't seems to shake off. Her eyes were on the road, but even from where I was sitting, I can tell she was somewhere off. That was mistake 3, never as question. Asking question is like judging or testing their patients on when they're gonna blow. I learned that the hard way in life.

Growing up has been rough, but mom tried her best to raise us both without my dad in the picture. He wasn't there when my little sister graduated from her elementary school or when I even graduated from high school. From what I heard he made a new family far from us, he's living the best life while he abandon his two kids and the wife he use to love. I never understand what was even there between my parents. Love? Please there was more love on a television screen than my own parents.

Love, what a joke.
