2: Be with you

"Wooyoung come on go get dressed then we can go shopping"
a beautiful woman shook the young boy.

The young boy woke up with an innocent pout while rubbing his eyes softly.

Wooyoung took a shower and got dressed in casual clothes with the help of his caretaker.

"You do remember its you birthday in two days right?" Wooyoung's mom asked the young boy as she helped him to fasten his seat belt.

A smile creeped on the latter's face as he remembered what he wanted to do for his birthday.

The two spent five hours shopping and preparing for the birthday party.

"Mom I want this one", the seven year old said jumping around in excitement.

Wooyoung's mom looked at the cake and then she sighed when she looked at the price.

"Okay honey" she replied forcing a smile.

It was hard for her to afford expensive stuff since she was a single mom, although Wooyoung's dad would send them money once in a while.

She had Wooyoung when she was 20 in her third year in college and she was financially unstable at that time.

She was a scholarship student and the monthly allowance was not enough to raise a child.

Wooyoung's dad got married to someone else in their last year of college.

He came from a rich family and his wedding was planned when he was fifteen so he had no chance to escape it.

She started working as a teacher at a school near their  small apartment.

The lived a happy life without any problems.

"Mommy I'm tired" Wooyoung said interrupting his mother's thoughts.

"Okay let's go home now ''

We walked out after paying and headed to the car. When we got there, there was a piece of paper stuck on the windshield supported by the wipers.

My mom took it and stared at it as she shivered. I looked at her as a tear escaped her right eye.

''Mommy w-why are you crying'' I stuttered as warm tears escaped my eyes.

''N-noo my baby, mommy is not crying something got into my eye'' she said faking a smile as she rubbed my back gently.

We got in the car and drove home in silence.

WOOYOUNG POV

''Woo baby wake up it's the big day today'' my mom yelled as she shook me up.

I woke up and rubbed my eyes as I yawned.

''Awww look at you'', she said opening her arms for a hug.

I snuggled closer to her and laid my head on her chest. She started playing with my soft hair.

''I can't believe you have grown so much'' she said as she released a sob.

I pulled out of the hug and looked at her face.

''Mommy why are you crying'' I said as I wiped her tears.

''Nothing son, I'm just happy that I have you in my life and seeing you growing up so fast makes me emotional''.

We ended our emotional episode and got ready for the party. I was excited because all of my friends were coming to celebrate with me.

It was already 1pm when everyone came. I got many gifts and we enjoyed our time together.

My mom was very happy and she would tear up here and there. She kept on telling me to grow up and make her proud.

We played a lot of games together, I enjoyed everything we did.

''IT'S CAKE~~TIME'' mom yelled as she made her way the living room carrying the huge cake.

Everyone started jumping around happily.

They started singing the birthday song while I smiled widely. I was happy because this was the first time I was celebrating my birthday.

We cut the cake and we enjoyed eating while watching some movies. It was already 19:00 when the party came to an end and everyone went to their homes.

I helped my mom and the helper to clean up the mess around the house. We finished around 21:47.

''Woo let's go to bed it's already past your bed time'' mom said leading me to my room.

I changed into comfortable pajamas and laid on the bed.

''Mom, thank you so much for today and everything you do for me. I'm proud to be your son and I will make sure to grow up and be successful so that I don't see you work too much'' I said as leaned in for a hug.

''Aww, you're so sweet Wooyoungie'' she said placing her warm lips on my forehead as she brushed my hair softly.

''Mom can you sing me a song'' I said looking at her with puppy eyes.

''Ofcourse''she said pulling a blanket over my body.

She started singing her favourite song 'Be with you by Ateez'.

I fell asleep listening to her soothing voice.

****

I woke up to loud voices shouting at each other.

''What do you want from me!!''

''I want nothing, I came to do my job'' a male voice said.

I woke up and walked towards the door. I stopped in my tracks when I heard gunshots. Tears ran down my cheeks as I opened the door and ran downstairs.

I froze at the door when I saw my mom laying in a pool of blood.

"Mom!" I screamed out.

I ran to her and hugged her close to my body.

"Mom p-please stay with me" I broke down as I saw her eyes slightly close.

"W-oo baby I l-love you a lot, don-n't forget that okay"

"No mom please don't s-say that, you promised me that you will be with me" I said sobbing.

"Run away baby they're still here they can't find you" she said caressing my cheek.

"No mom I'm not leaving you here".

"Run away Wooyoungie I promise I will always be with you  even if I won't be here, just run" she said as her soul left her body.

"No mom please wake up" I wailed as I stared at her lifeless body infront of me.

I heard footsteps coming from the other side of the house.

I stood up and stormed out of the house as fast as I could.

I didn't know where I was going but I ran to where ever my feet carried me.

Tears continued to run down my cheeks as my limbs felt numb.

I couldn't do it anymore, I stopped running I dropped to the ground and let my body drift away to sleep.

" are you okay son " were the last words I heard before my body gave in.
