To Bid a Goodbye

"Hi mom..."

"Oh, Taehyun? You just came home?" my mom greeted me with a kiss on the cheek while she's drinking her tea in the early morning in our garden. "Did you cry? Come here baby, what happened?"

I hugged her, for the first time, genuinely coming from me. "I think... I made a mistake again," I confessed and cry. "M-mom... I feel like I'm such a bad person."

"You're not Taehyun... You are not, okay? Baby, tell mom what happened," she consoles me while rubbing my back. "It'll be fine, Taehyun. You're such a nice person..."

"I'm not... I'm not even the Taehyun that you raised," I countered that made her stop from doing her motion. "You know it, right? You know who I am."

"You're Kang Taehyun, my son," she stated and hugs me tightly. "I don't care what happened in the past. I already choose to forget what happened before. T-Taehyun... Just be with mom."

I made a space between us, she's smiling at me. Why? Why is she still smiling at me after confirming everything just now? She brushes my tears and chuckles.

"Everything happened in the past. Whatever you behave right now, I'll accept you. I don't know what really happened, who really you are or where the Kang Taehyun that I knew before—just stay with me," she stated while bitterly smiling, tears on the corner of her eyes.

"H-how? How can I stay with you? I need to find my own mom..."

"I'll help you," she offered that made me surprise. "But... go home with us. Your home is with us, Taehyun. Please? Can you do me a favor?"

I look down and think things carefully this time before meeting her eyes again. "I'll try... I'll try," I repeated and she hugs me again.

"I don't want to lose another son, Taehyun... I don't want to live in agony once more."

When I reached my room, I've been staring at my phone for the past hour now and I don't even know what I should do. I wanted to stay earlier, I really do but he keep on pushing me away until Soobin hyung came and told me to just rest and he'll handle hyung.

I know it hurts him how halmeoni died right after his birthday or maybe because he doesn't have any single idea but was it okay that he lashed his anger on me?

Did I just mess up once again?

I just let things happened. I know I can do something to help him but I didn't because I don't want to interfere once more with Deity's plan. So why do I feel anxious?

I keep on messaging Soobin hyung for updates and gladly he's telling me what's happening in there. After a day, they are already having her funeral.

With my formal suit, I went inside the room. There were quite a lot of people. I took a seat at the far back. Beomgyu hyung was in front, kneeling and crying, while Soobin hyung was the one who accompany the relatives.

If this happened five years ago, will Beomgyu hyung supposed to be fine right now? If Deity didn't let Beomgyu wished that way, what was us supposed to be right now? Friends? Strangers? Couple? I'm not sure.

Maybe things really worked for our own accord. Maybe things should really happen at their right time.

"Taehyun?"

"Soobin hyung," I replied and he sighs before sitting in front of me.

"Why are you here? Beomgyu will throw a fit if he sees you," he said.
