Ignore the mistakes 🙏🏻

The air was chilly, clouds wrapping the sky yet no sign of the rain. It was thè beautiful day but weather mostly appeals when you heart is at peace, and that peace is so difficult to be found.

"Hi Mom." The faintest voice spoke once the line was connected to the other end.

"My baby!" The lady on the other side was definitely crying.

"Not again Maa, i just got 15 minutes, don't waste them over tears." The boy replied and his voice held fatigue.

"Jinnie-ah, did you just woke up? You voice sounds so sleepy." Curiosity was the only thing that came across the line. His mother learned to mask her emotions, good.

"Y-yeah. Just woke up. I thought to call you before i get busy with my duties." The butler replied lying skilfully. The wounds and bruises was uncountable and the pain of these was even worse, sleep was one thing, even lying down was a challenge and SeokJin have spent the whole night standing tall. The thing that his mom noticed was not the sleepiness, it was the fatigue.

"Are you taking care of yourself? Did your boss agreed on giving you two days off a week?" Last he talked back home his mother was persistent on he must ask his boss to reduce his work load, but he can not tel his mother how much Jungkook hate him and how he really behaves with him. The bruises were just one small example of that.

"Yeah, there's new staff coming soon, once they'll be here i'd get the holidays of two days a week Maa, don't worry. Till then i can manage. You tell me, how's everyone at home?" Jin's eyes got filled with the water that always come out first, so easy for it to flow down the face and easy every pain.

"Everyone's good. We just miss you so much. Appa went to the doctor and he said that the medicine has successfully worked, his body is adopting to it and that this can help with the cure. All because of you, my son." His mother never once forgot the struggles he goes through. She always love him and encourages him.

"I'm glad finally things are getting better at least at one end. How about you? Did your—"

"There's nothing wrong with me son, I'm okay. You should not worry about us so much." His mother cut him off.

"You guys are the only one that i have of my own Maa, i can never not think of you." Jin's emotions erupted once again and the pace of tears increased.

"Come home son, just come home once and visit us please." His mother also lost control on her emotions. She's trying but she's not really pro at it.

"Why do you ask for things you know are not possible. After everything—- I can't Maa." He helplessly faces the biggest elephant in the room.

"I pray it happens. I pray for you son."

"That's all i need Maa."

"Y-Your father wanted to talk to—-"

"I'm running out of time Maa, I'll be going no—"

"Stop running away from him son. He is your father, What happened was—-"

"His fault. It was his fault. He ruined my life and i need much bigger heart than i have to give him the chance. Don't force me Maa, I'm already doing more than i can. I'll be going, byee." And with that he cut the call. This ritual has been quite similar than the last thousands of time. She always ask him and he denies. But the pain that comes after is unbearable just like now, just like always.

Soon the car entered the main gate and SeokJin without wasting even a second ran back to the kitchen. He must not come in front of Jungkook, the bruises were enough to last few more days.
