there has always been something about lying in bed awake at this hour. alone, surrounded by darkness and quietness. solitude, his favourite thing. he welcomed it like a warm hug. tossing and turning were futile at this point. all he could do was stare up at his ceiling. he'd accepted it by now. he would usually only get around eight hours of sleep every week, give or take. he would also probably notice her soon. the woman staring at him. his mother. she sat on the chair beside his king-size bed. her eyes were wide open, and a satisfied grin lay on her face. 

taehyun sat up, feeling around for his phone on his bedside table. when all he could feel was his breathing straws and some medication, he turned his lamp on. taehyun gasped in terror, freezing when he saw her face. he was so scared that he couldn't even run, she might get mad. instead, he kept his eyes on hers in case she tried anything. the boy hugged himself, rocking his body back and forth. his eyes widened and trembled, mouth hanging open. he observed as she got up and started walking to him painfully slowly. taehyun couldn't watch anymore and buried his head in his arms,

"mom!" he yelled, voice deep and shaky. he closed his eyes in anticipation, digging his nails into his knees. and before he knew it, he felt a wet substance under him. he flinched and looked down, seeing a wet puddle staining his sheets. taehyun looked up, and now his mother was standing in the corner of his big bedroom. he took this as his chance to call for maids. he called them from his phone, and they knocked on his door before entering. their expressions turned worried as they saw a frightened taehyun crawling to the door shakily. one of them dropped everything and ran over, kneeling next to the boy,

"sir, what happened?" she asked. taehyun looked up, pointing at the corner. they all followed his sight and squinted their eyes, trying to understand. "there's nothing there, sir."

"no- no, you have to see her, she's r-right there!" he defended. another maid walked over to the area, looking at him, puzzled. taehyun saw his mother smirking creepily. "no! get away- she'll- she'll hurt you," he warned. and he tried elaborating, but his vision blurred, and he fell into a maid's arms.
