[3rd p.o.v.]

Sitting on the chair aside bed which is being occupied. Trembling himself, mere vacant eyes. The chair man jerks himself, scratching his head as it tilts side to side. Slowly breathing, the room only echoes colds.

He swiftly rose and hammered to the door. Unlocking the door, he stepped to meet his son's eyes, he wasn't badly injured but rather silent. The son's eyes are of that sweet loveliness enrichment of suchlike.

However, it had not come to him that his dad was utterly fading away. Only then, will he held up high to see this world he very lived hated him.

Only then the child could see harsh reality. Then gone of whom he called father-lost of his impurity.

He grins the way a monkey does. Inhumane.

[2nd p.o.v.]

Co-workers:I'm very sorry for that... Mr. L/n?

You:Ah, it's alright--it's alright

You and your coworker seem to stumble upon your workflow and in stress out for a bit, you take a breather for two and stretch your arms wide.

It's been a stressful day, years after your wife's death. Trying to keep yourself together often you aren't even home due to overworking. Your son had to be sent to your sister's house instead, for the time being.

You dive head first onto your palm, even then it wouldn't pity you a few chapters off days or so, you weren't the father now. You never will be one. Doubting yourself self is all you do.

What do you even talk about sometimes, stress? You're working for your child, your hassle to get this misery divorced, yet you kept whining. You kept your head whining low, doubt yourself, you deserve that.

Coworker:Mr. L/n?

It breaks your muse.

You:Ah, yes this one should be right here...

Coworker:Mr. L/n, I think you should rest for a while, it's 10 am aren't you a bit tired?

You:I'm not that tired

Coworker:Your eye beg the differ

You:It was just a black circle just give me some coffee it'll be better

Then your phone rings, far away from you next to your coworker. He picks and hands it to you, before going to brew some coffee.

10:29 p.m. it's late night, wasn't cold enough for your office to freeze but raining melodically over your office window. The phone rings with a name familiar to you.

You answer the call to your sister's house.

You:It's late at night...shouldn't you be asleep now?

Y/n:I k-know but, but I'm a bit scared...

He said with a terrified voice. Then you remember, you've picked a rental movie tape that you thought might have a light-hearted horror.

Endearingly, it wasn't light enough for your son, Y/n.

Suppose you weren't enough for him...what then you ought to do? Mockingly teasing yourself to greatness was possible? probably even trying the best for him to keep him happy is your responsibility. You've promised her. Do it.

"Sometimes i felt like it isn't enough to be the one that does their best. Like, if i do it will the very others do the same? I cry every night, and then I stop then continue, it's a cycle that I wish for gone never to be seen nor done again. I hated myself for that, I hate myself."

I wish, I never knew you. My love. I wish the best for you. My son. And I hate you. My self.

You:It's alright...you'll be fine when I got there okay, be a strong boy for me

Y/n:H-Ha...I will dad!

You:Alright now, shouldn't you supposed to sleep?

Y/n:Uhh...Ermm...y-yeah--

You:Sleep first, I'll wake you up once I got home, okay?

Y/n:O-Okay! I love you dad, see you soon!

You:Thank you...see you later darling, now go to sleep

You hung up, placing it down before sighing whilst your eyes lead outside. You pinched the bridge of your nose, massaging pit of your eyes in turn. Deepening your back into the chair as your head hung off it's crook.

The offices buzz filled your head, it's from flickering open light. You wonder if they had fixed another pair of bulb for bathroom down the hall, then an illicit soft stingy spark through you. Was it because of the weather? Maybe too cold? You just realize, you actually wanted to pee.
