Dark Nights

" What happened last night? Where were you , little boy? " Mrs. Kim asked the boy who was nervously glancing at the indifferent man sitting in the living room while drinking.

" Umm...nowhere. Just walked around. " He shrugged lightly as Mrs. Kim chopped the salad.

The boy's eyes snapped away when Taehyung looked towards the kitchen with a cold face.

Maybe his stare was too strong that elder felt it from even so far.

" so, did you feel nice? " She asked at which he smiled lightly , nodding.

" Good! That's great. " She appreciated him before passing him the salad.

" Come on. Lets take it to the dining table. " She said grabbing the soup bowl before they both started to walk towards the dining area.

Placing the vessels, they started to turn the cutlery for putting the meal as workers brought food one by one.

" Jimin, come! Dinner is ready! " She exclaimed to which Jimin , who was resting out in the veranda , replied " Coming! ".

" Won't....he eat with us? " The boy whispered lowly but he failed at keeping it low because elder had clearly heard it as now he was looking towards the boy with light eyes.

" Did he ever eat in these days? " Mrs. Kim asked.

" No. " The boy mumbled.

But as they were turning silent , a voice came from behind them saying , " Make a table for me too. "

Hearing that , Mrs. Kim and Jimin, who had almost arrived , with the workers turned dead silent in shock.

" What? Shall I not eat? " He asked in his coaxed voice before getting a haste shake of head from Mrs. Kim.

" No. Yes! Sit. Come on. Sit and eat. Where do you want to sit? " She asked and clearly her voice had that desperateness which didn't go unnoticed by anyone.

" Beside you. " He said palely but for Mrs. Kim it was more than enough because her eyes were turning moist and now the boy could understand the seriousness of the situation.

Taehyung was a cold person. A very cold to be specific but looking the way his family was acting, the young boy felt that he wasn't like that before.

Taehyung, was not like that before.

" Oh yes! Yes yes. Yeah right. Come on. Sit with me. Sit here. Hey you'll! --- serve food for my Tae. Come , fast. " She ordered smiling at her son brightly by holding his hand as she sat in the middle most ( head of the family ) seat with Taehyung beside her.

Everyone started to serve , focusing on Taehyung's dish but the latter was expressionless and absolutely unbothered by all the excitement everyone had.

Literally, every single being in the house was smiling , even Jimin , which made the boy stare at them in awe.

Jimin took seat just opposite to Taehyung, facing his brother, basically beside his mother on the other side while talking to each other happily.

" Oh my! It's nice. Been a long time. We will eat together! " She laughed and then suddenly her eyes came in contact with the boy's, who was standing silently with a lit face.

He looked kinda ..... happy.

" Oh boy! Why are you standing? Come sit. " She gestured to the seat beside Jimin at which he nodded walking towards the seat but as he held the head of the chair , Taehyung stopped him. " Here. " He called. " sit here. "

The boy's heart almost fell on the floor by hearing that with others staring at him.

He stood in his place with brief confusion and heart weirdly acting when Mrs. Kim said, " Come little boy. Why are you standing there. Come sit beside him. "
