"What are you doing, dad?!!! You will fall! Come down!!"

"Gguk...leave me. Your Appa...he's there"

"He's not there, Dad. Come down, please."

"He's there, Gguk. H-he's calling me.

"N-no Dad! Don't!!! Don't do this!! You will fall!! I have no one beside you...I love you. Just think about me for once."

"Dad please!"

"N-No!"

"Uncle Jin!! Uncle Joon!! Please help me!!"

"Dad!!!"

"Dad!!!"

Taegguk's eyes snapped open, wide with fear. He sat up, breathing heavily as he looked around only to find himself in his room. A sigh of relief left his mouth as he hid his face into his palms. But he knew his eyes had other plans when he felt moisture between his fingers.
"W-why..." he stammered as a little sob left his mouth. The little boy hated that incident so much and wanted to forget it but why he couldn't? Why it was haunting him as a nightmare now?

He wiped his eyes and cheeks with back of his hand.
"No..I..I shouldn't sitting and crying here like a weak kid. Dad always says I'm strong...like my Appa. B-but...right now I really want to see you, Dad." mumbling this to himself Taegguk got up and ran towards his father's room.

"Dad" he pushed the door only to find an empty room which accelerated his heartbeat. That certain fear within him rose as now he ran towards the drawing room while continuously calling his father but was getting no response from the other.

"Dad, where are you?"

"Dad-"
He halted on his way upon finding his uncle Jin near the dining table, settling few crockeries.

Jin smiled as soon as his eyes caught Taegguk. "You woke up? Good morn-"

"Where's Dad? Did he go to office already?" Taegguk interrupted in urgency making Jin frown a bit.

"No. I saw him near the store room."

The reply made Taegguk face-palm himself .Oh, how could he forget to check that particular place. Sighing deeply he looked at his uncle. "What he's doing there?" Taegguk didn't know why he asked that.

"You already know." Jin replied as he shook his head.

With a small nod Taegguk turned on his heels to leave when he heard his uncle again.
"Wait, Gguk. Give this juice to him."
"I mixed the meds into this...so make sure he drinks it."

Taegguk stared the glass for few seconds before taking it from his uncle's hand while uttering a "Ok."

"Good" Jin bent down to kiss Taegguk on his forehead. "You love your Dad..too much, don't you?"

Taegguk nodded as a matter of fact making Jin smile wider.

.....................

"Dad" Taegguk knocked the door of the store room even though it was open. He just didn't feel like entering into it, don't ask him why.

On the other hand Jungkook flinched by the knock but composed himself promptly. He immediately closed the cupboards and made his way to the door where his son was standing with 'a juice in his hand'?
Jungkook frowned, he knew it was his hyung...Jin who must have asked Gguk to give him that since he denied to drink it a few moments ago.

"What are doing here, Gguk?"

"I was looking for you" his son replied with a little pout while extending his small arm."Juice"
