*Appa》Daddy (don't be dirty guys😂🔫)

>>>

The new house wasn't comfortable. It only had two rooms - mine and my parents, and one bathroom. The living room and the kitchen were together.

Mom wouldn't stop nagging and dad couldn't ignore her anymore.

"What can I do for you!" Dad asked, raising his voice for the very first time.

"I just want you to stand up again! Quit this job and get a better one."

I was in my room, with my eyes tightly closed as if that will mute their voices.

After a few more minutes of them yelling at each other, I heard the door open and close with a loud thud. That must have been my mom. Shorty after, I heard the sound of glass breaking.

I jumped off my bed and opened the door to see a vase scattered on the floor. The water that was inside it formed a pool around the flowers.

I looked up in terror to see dad covering his face with his hands. I had never seen him like that.

"Dad..."

His head snapped up and for the first time, I saw pain in his eyes.

"Taehyung-ah..."

"*Appa..." my eyes welled.

He smiled and that warmed my heart. But this time, I knew that he was in pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I am."

"Don't lie to me!" I yelled, my tears betraying me.

"My boy, how can I not be okay after just hearing my son calling me Appa. Last time you called me that was a decade ago."

His smile didn't fade and I was at loss of words.

"I'm sorry," he chuckled. "I must have shocked you... I'll clean this up when I get back."

He pulled me towards him and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "My baby boy."

With that he left the house.

Sniffing, I picked up the broken glass and mopped the floor. With a sad, yet satisfied smile, I went back to my room.

If only I didn't let him leave the house that night, maybe I wouldn't have been here. Because after that night, everything started to change drastically.
