FATE : Until We Meet Again || Kim Taehyung FF📚🥀

1.FAMILIAR YET UNFAMILIAR

Y/N: "Oh yes !! It worked !!"

Short circuit sound~

My endless joy did not last long, however, since my machine crashed again shortly after starting!

Eunwoo : "Why are you getting yourself in so much problem, Mom...? This is really dangerous...!"
My son said as he came inside running.

Y/N : " Son you know why I'm doing this right?"
For some reasons, neither of us spoke for some more seconds as I continued to clean the device.

Eunwoo: "But you can't keep regretting what you didn't do, mom...It pains me to see you like this."
He said while giving me a hearty embrace.

We both remained silent for a few more minutes like that before my kid chose to break the silence.
Eunwoo: "By the way what went wrong again this time with the machine?"
He added, attempting to brighten the otherwise somber atmosphere.

Y/N: "Son, I'm not sure either.As best as I can recall, I fixed the booster this time, but I'm not sure what's missing."
I said, pausing to examine the malfunctioning machine in front of me and try to determine what went wrong.

Eunwoo: " Well it's 9 o' clock so maybe you should come for dinner, right? Who knows, it might help you think more clearly."
He was making me chuckle with his words.

Y/N: "Yeah yeah... you're right...!"
I said this, then removed my goggles, leaving them on the table, and walked out of the room, taking one last look at the person in the picture frame on the wall before closing the lab door behind me.

The person in that picture was my dearest late husband...Kim Taehyung...

Y/N : "Wow, Eunwoo! Did you make it all? I thought you could only cook noodles..."
I responded sarcastically, unable to believe that the dishes in front of me were cooked by him.

Eunwoo: "Mom! Don't make fun of me!"
He spoke in an awkward and bashful voice.

Y/N: "Hehe ...I'm so thankful to get you as my son, you know that right..."
I spoke in a composed manner.

Even though he is my son, we had a close enough relationship to be best friends. He supports me in the same manner that his father did.

Eunwoo: "Well, then...You should eat all the food and show me how grateful you are to have me as your kid, okay? Otherwise, I will not trust you."
He spoke with a mischievous pout.

I nodded, amazed, as we both began to eat and enjoy our mother-son time together.

Few moments later~

I cleaned the kitchen and the dishes after we finished our supper. I switched off the lights in the living room and kitchen, but before I could get out of the room, I felt the same blast of frigid air strike me from behind.

Well Yes, it does happen to me all the time. I'm not sure why, but the cold air makes me uneasy because I know there's no chance a gust of wind will reach me and no drapes are moving.

But since my thoughts were elsewhere, I chose to ignore it and head to my room.

At night~

I awoke gasping as I heard an unexpected thump sound and was unsure of its source. I carefully got out of bed and checked the clock, which showed 2 a.m. I wasn't sure whether leaving the room was a smart idea; I mean, I don't believe in supernatural stuff, but the darkness made me uneasy. While wrestling with my inner thoughts, I chose to wear my slippers as I left the room.
