Dear Hush | Taejin

Dear Hush,

Yoongi called me to come to the bakery because mom was getting riled up.

Apparently she was breaking things and pushing customers to run outside.

I was confused, because normally she doesn't act that way ever. The last time she acted so out of place was when she heard from my previous principal that I was getting bullied.

She ran out to Taehyung, who had ended his shift and was walking home. She walked up to him and slapped him, and they got in a fight.

By the time I rushed over there, mom had taken her coat off and was slapping him as he pulled her hair.

I think she found out about what he did to me.

I was going to let the deal with Taehyung slide until I saw him fighting with mom.

Mom was the most important person to me, and what he did to her was unforgivable.

Everyone was gathered in a crowd on the street and sidewalk, watching a high school senior getting in a fight with a woman.

Yoongi was frantically making phone calls to various people, including Seokjin and the police.

Seokjin didn't hesitate to run out to the scene. He arrived three minutes later, breathing heavily.

Hoseok ran up to him, crying and saying sorry even though Seokjin had no idea why he was saying sorry.

He looked over to see his mom and his bully, fighting and beating each other up.

His eyes widened, and he turned on his heels so fast he almost tripped.

Taehyung was pulling at Jihyo's hair, almost yanking on it and trying to kick her.

Jihyo was blinded by rage, shouting curses and trying to punch him.

Seokjin began running, his breath hitching in his throat. He balled his fist up, letting it fly without thinking in fear as he screamed.

"EOMMAAAAA!!!"

His fist made contact with Taehyung's face, making him fly backward.

Seokjin's eyes shook, and welled up with tears as he looked between his angry mother and Taehyung.

He brought his hands to his hair, pulling on it in distress as he cried loudly.

He just punched someone.

Taehyung was sitting on the ground, scooting over to the building wall to lean his back against.

He hung his head, one hand holding his cheek. He looked up at Seokjin.

Taehyung was crying.

"Th-that hurt, you son of a bitch!" They were tears of anger and pain, as far as Seokjin could see.

Seokjin turned to his mother, who gave him a weak smile and a hug.

"I'm proud of you, Seokjin. You did well."

Seokjin began to cry, holding tight to her and burying his face into her shoulder.

"M-mian-ae, E-Eomma.."

It was all he could say, because he felt horrible about punching Taehyung.

He used violence to stop Taehyung. Didn't that make him just as bad as the bully?

Jihyo, on the other hand was making a silent victory.

"Ha! Don't mess with my son," she wanted to yell at Taehyung. She was proud that he stood up for her, and himself in a way.

Hoseok ran over, taking Seokjin and hugging him tightly. Yoongi was talking to the police, explaining the situation.

"Ma'am," an officer came up to Jihyo, and nodded at her. She knew what he meant, and she sighed.

"Fine, make this quick. I'm planning on going to work tomorrow, so don't keep me in the station for too long."

"I'm going to need your licence, ma'am. We're taking you and the boy to the station for some questions, then we will let you go."

She and Taehyung got into the police car, and they drove away.

Yoongi, Seokjin and Hoseok were asked to cone in a different police car, seeing as they were witnesses.

Seokjin was frantically writing in his diary on the drive.
