You Smell Like Hope

19. flashbacks

That one dark day.

Jisung's father was home as always, His mother was preparing him a shower while he and his brother were getting ready to go to princess park with their mother as they always do when dad is home.

''Mum why does daddy never come with us?'' asked young Jisung. ''it's better this way honey, let's go yeah?'' His mum replied as she placed their lunch box and snacks in her huge bag. ''take your brother's hand and walk slowly Jisung.''

''Yes mum!'' obeying his beloved mother, he walked closer to his brother and took his hand. ''Good job Jisungie.'' his brother praised.

From young age Mother had noticed that Jisung has struggles, from lack of communication to his panic attacks his mother knew she has to protect him from the world's cruelness, and so did his brother. Mother was scared her care for Jisung can make her oldest feel neglected, but she was glad to watch the two brothers bond beautifully.

Seungmin, the oldest son would always help Jisung with hard math and yuck science, while Jisung would always help Minnie in their piano lessons and art class. they both had their own charm and hated to watch each other get hurt or yelled at by teachers.

When they finally reached their destination Jisung run around with Seungmin stuck running with him as they were still holding hands, ''Look Minnie! these flowers are so beautiful!'' Jisung finally stopped to admire the flowers.

''That's right Jisungie, they are so beautiful, we learned it's name in science class, do you remember?'' poor Jisung tried his best to remember but with no use. ''Remember the song you created to memorize the pink beautiful flowers?'' Seungmin asked again with a gentle voice and Jisung's face lighted up. ''Yes! I remember. Pink flowers at the zoo, watch them grow up, glow up, so up, TULIP.'' they laughed at the funny lyrics and were happy that Jisung remembered his now favorite flowers name. ''Good job love, you too Minnie.'' mother praised and kissed their cheeks before going to sit under her usual tree to read her book.''

After a lot of playing and running Minnie felt so tired he couldn't run anymore, ''Let's go have lunch sungie, I am so tired.'' Jisung nodded and followed his brother to their mother's tree.

''Did you tire yourself too much Minnie?'' Mother said calmly, ''Yeah.'' Seungmin pouted slightly. ''it's okay you don't have to go play again after lunch.'' she told him handing out their plates and forks. ''But Jisungie still want to play.'' protested Seungmin. ''I do not.'' Jisung said, but everyone knew he didn't mean it he just wanted his brother to rest even if it means no more play and Jisung loves to play.

''Jisung can go play alone if he promises to not go far.'' said mother and oh how much she regrets it.

It all went so fast, Just getting distracted with Seungmin's medicine and Jisung running after a cat was all it took for a mother to lose her baby.
