"Feeling better now?" I asked Taehyung as we stopped by a restaurant after our little walk.

"Yes, thanks to you" He breathed out and gave me a smile.

We then got inside and sat on one of the few tables.

"I have never been here" I said as I looked around the cozy, empty restaurant.

"Me and my parents always came and ate here, they're friends with the owner" He explained while looking down at the menu.

I could tell that he was sad, he really misses his parents.

I promise you that you'll meet them soon.

"The food is amazing" I awed as I took another sip of my noodle soup.

He nodded genuinely and continued eating.

"What should we do after this?"

"Well, I need to study, I haven't opened a book in the past few days" Taehyung gasped, mocking my nerdy ass.

"Just because I want a future and not you" I rolled my eyes, earning a giggle from him.

Idiot.

"Let's go" I looked up to see him slurping what was left of his food.

He then grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the restaurant.

Confused, I looked behind me and bid the owner goodbye as she waved at me with a smile.

"I can walk by myself, let go!" I exclaimed as he forcefully pulled me towards him.

I lost my balance, closing my eyes tightly as I waited for the impact of me falling.

But I never fell.

I opened my eyes slowly upon hearing his chuckles, to be met by his chest.

"Was that necessary?" I huffed as I pushed him away and started walking back to his house.

"Aw is Mina mad at me" He chanted like a five year old.

With my arms crossed over my chest, I sped walked past him.

"What do you want me to do" I stopped in my tracks and turned my back.

"To shut the hell up" He raised his hands in the air.

I don't know why I'm mad, oh right.....I'm on my period.

"Anyways can you take me home, I've walked enough today"

"Wait so one minute you want me to shut up and the other you want me to take you home. Are you okay?" I slapped his arm playfully.

"No but seriously can you?"

"Yes, it's not like I have anything else to do" He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.

"Oh right, I forgot that you didn't have a life" I mumbled, loud enough for him to hear.

"Neither do you" He gave me a fake smile and got in the driver's seat.

I took my phone out immediately after I got home.

I want to try and talk to his parents and convince to come.

He really does miss them I mean they're his parents after all.

I just need to politely knock some sense into them.

"Here goes nothing" I bit my lip nervously and pressed call.

I wanted to talk to both his parents, but I'll start by calling his mom.

"Who's this?" I heard a women's voice through the phone.

"Hello Miss, My name is Mina and I'm a close friend of Taehyung, your son"

It was silent for a few seconds.

"I see, but may I ask why you're calling?"

"I just wanted to let you know how down and sad he has been, he has told me everything and with all respect I don't see why you can't come and visit him for just a few days"

"He has probably told you that we are busy with work too"

"Yes I understand but is work really worth losing your one and only son. I see emptiness and loneliness in his eyes every time he mentions you. He always talks about things that reminds him of you. He loves and needs you two"

"I'm sorry" Her voice broke as she then ended the call.

Sorry?

Is that it? Didn't she have anything else to say?

I tried......it's up to them now.

But there is one thing I can do.

To always be there for him when he needs someone.

Taehyung's mom's p.o.v

"Sorry" My voice broke as I then immediately ended the call.

That girl, whoever she is to him.

She's right.

My son, Taehyung.

I miss him, a lot.

I grabbed my hair tight, looking down at my desktop.

Is work really worth losing your one and only son?

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

I can't take this anymore, work made me forget who I really am.

A mother.

I need to see my son.

"Honey?" I looked up with dry tears staining my cheeks.

"I need to see my son" He just nodded slowly while approaching me.

I cried even more in my husband's embrace, thinking about how bad of a mother I am.

We're coming Taehyung, we're finally coming.
