The End

1 year later

"Hello, dear Umma," Taehyung uttered softly, his voice carrying a mix of emotions.

"Today, on your special day, I felt the need to reach out and talk to you."

"I want to express the overwhelming happiness that fills my heart right now," he continued, his words tinged with a sense of gratitude.

"For so long, I struggled to find peace and joy within myself, but finally, I have discovered the power of forgiveness."

"At first, it was a difficult journey," Taehyung admitted, his voice trembling slightly.

"I was angry, frustrated that I didn't have enough time to truly know you, to understand the depths of your love and sacrifices."

"Oh, how I longed for more time, Umma," he confessed, his voice filled with longing.

"More time to unravel the layers of your being, to love you as the woman who tirelessly searched for her lost son throughout her entire life."

"I am deeply sorry that I couldn't bring you complete happiness when we finally met," Taehyung's voice cracked, tears threatening to spill. Sitting before his mother's grave, he fought to hold back his emotions.

"You were in so much pain, and it breaks my heart."

"But I promise you, Umma," he mumbled, his voice filled with determination.

"I will carry your love and legacy within me, and I will strive to make you proud. Though our time together was cut short, I will cherish every moment we had, and I will honor your memory in all that I do."

As the wind gently rustled the leaves around him, Taehyung sat in quiet contemplation, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. He knew that his mother's spirit would forever guide him, and he would continue to grow, learn, and love, just as she had always wanted for him.

"The weight of my hatred and contempt towards Seungae consumed me, Umma," Taehyung confessed, his voice heavy with sorrow.

"I know that it would have pained you to see me in such a state."

"Amidst my animosity towards her, I was also entangled in an emotional mess with the woman I loved," he continued, his voice filled with frustration.

"I was furious and disheartened by her lack of care or remorse for what she had done to me."

"I was angry, Umma," Taehyung admitted, his voice trembling.

"Angry that she couldn't reciprocate the love I had for her, that she couldn't see the depth of my feelings."

"And to add to my turmoil, my brother, who was once so close, felt like a stranger," he added, his voice tinged with confusion.

"I couldn't even feel a connection to him anymore, Umma."

"I was lost, overwhelmed by a mix of anger, disappointment, and confusion," Taehyung sighed, his voice filled with weariness.
