taehyung
flashback

As soon as he had slammed the door shut, his heart filled up with regret. He knew he wasn't mad at Jimin, he was mad at himself for being so stupid and thinking that this was actually going to work out. He wiped the tears off of his cheeks and stood outside the door for a little while. He knew that Jimin was still in there, in the hallway.

God, Taehyung felt so stupid. The aching feeling from before had started to consume him, and he didn't know what to do or where to go. So he ran. He ran out of his garden, and he ran fast. He couldn't see anything, the tears had blinded him.

He started thinking about his life.

......................
"Daddy! Look what I drew!" He shouted and handed his father the painting eagerly. His big boxy smile showed and he jumped up and down.

"Ah, look at this!! I think we have a little artist in our family, huh?" Taehyung's father said and gave his son a big hug. Taehyung was very proud and bettered his pasture.
His mother laughed at the two from the kitchen and continued chopping vegetables.

"So what do you want for your birthday, little fella?" Mr Kim asked and lifted Taehyung high up on stretched arms. The little one laughed and kicked his legs in the air.

"I want my own car!" He shouted and clapped his hands as his father put him back down on the floor.

"Ah Taehyungie, you're a little too young don't you think?"

"Nope!" Taehyung said and crossed his arms over his little chest.
"I bet I'm the best driver ever!"

"You think so?" Taehyung's father sat down and lowered his voice.
"What about you and I go to the grocery store and you can sit in daddy's lap? But we don't tell mommy, alright?" He said with a big smile on his face and Taehyung nodded respectfully. He giggled and ran out in the hallway to get dressed.

"....and here is the break. Got it?" Taehyung nodded and his father started the car. They drove out on the little street in front of their house. Taehyung was tensed and focused on his task, which was to hit the break when his father told him to.

"Aaaaaand..NOW!" His father said and Taehyung pressed down the break with his little foot. The car stopped in the middle of the street.

"Did you see that, daddy? I did it! Did you see that?" Taehyung exclaimed and turned his head around to face his dad. He was smiling very big at his 6-year old.

"Yes I sure did, son! I guess you are the best driver in the world, aren't you?"
.........................

Those were the last words he ever would hear from his father. After this happy moment, a big car hit them from the back.
Two days later, the 30th of December, Taehyung woke up at the town hospital. He had broke his leg, but other than that he was fine. But his dad wasn't.

He had hit his head on the steering wheel, causing the skull to break. He hadn't made it.

Taehyung now felt the same pain as when his mother had told him at the hospital. It overwhelmed him and he had to sit down on the sidewalk. It was dark, and nobody was out, so he let his pain out.
