CHAPTER THREE

7:45pm

Having dinner at V hyung's house with his two brothers is blessed. I can request whatever I want to eat and they will fulfill them.

I reach home, parking my car next to my mom's car. I look at my neighbor's house, is quiet and clean, there's no trace of empty boxes in her lawn like people usually just moved in to the new house, they let the mess in sight.

I get into my house, not to think of my calm neighbor, maybe they are resting.

I heard my dad's favourite song played in the room soon as I spotted my mom leaning in the kitchen counter holding a glass of wine. She close her eyes, being carried away by the music.

"Hey, mom." I tap her shoulder as she open her eyes and look at me with her already teary eyes.

I pulled her into a hug knowing she would need it. She misses Dad, and she will always be, I can understand how pain she must be feel right now, not be able to hold the man she loved so much on his birthday.

Slowly I take her for a small dance following the melody of a mellow song. My dad always play this song in his birthday to dance with my mom.

"I missed your father so much." She mumble on my chest, feeling the warm liquid soaking my shirt, I know that's from her. She's crying. And it break my heart.

"I miss him too, mom." I caress her head to comfort her.

"Let's visit him tomorrow. "

"I don't know if I can do that again, last time I do, I don't wanna leave his grave."

"You promise to move on, mom, he want you to be happy."

How can someone be happy when the only happiness in her life is already gone? I can never tell that to my mom but I have to.

"Dad is in peace now, i know is hard to let go, but it's been six years, we both still miss him." I pull away and cupped her cheeks that is now damp with her tears.

"I'm here, Mom, I won't leave you alone. "

"Yes you will someday, baby, you will get married and go with your wife and leave me alone eventually."

"No I won't do that, I'll stay here with my wife if I ever decided to get married." I mean it. I can't leave my mom alone knowing how fragile she is without me.

"You're funny, Jungkook." She let out a chuckles as I smile knowing she feel better.

"I know I am..."

"Did you eat, baby? You came home late than usual?" She wipe her tears and place the glass of wine in the counter.

"I am, I hangout with V hyung at Kim's restaurant."

"Taehyung is in town?" She's surprise as well.

"Yes he is, he arrive this morning, he will stay for two months."

"Where did he work again?"

"He's a model, working for famous and luxury brand in Paris. "

"Whoa, I know that kid is something else, invite him to dinner with us."

"I will. What about you, have you eaten?"

"I did, with my colleagues."

"Okay, you should rest now, who knows you might get an emergency call."

"I will, good night, baby." She caresses my cheek and walk away to her bedroom.

I stay for awhile in the kitchen to get a water and then I also went to my room and rest.
