Both of the boys are enjoying so much with their fun bonding. In the middle of Namjoon teaching Taehyung how to read and write the alphabet letters, their order was already set on their table by the waiter.

After Namjoon taught Taehyung how to read and write the letter Ll, they both stop to eat the cheesy pizza that was on their table.

"this is gonna be yummy"

"hey, you ordered this? this one bigass pizza??? really?"

"yep! i'm real hungry so yea.."

Taehyung stopped talking and started grabbing utensils to eat the bigass pizza that is literally on the table.

While Taehyung is eating his first slice, Namjoon stared at him eating it.

"do you usually eat like that?"

"yesh!"

"hey, after you eat tell me more about this story of yours not being able to read and stuff"

Taehyung nodded and continued to get another slice from the circular tray.

Minutes later and their stomachs were filled up already. As soon as they finished up with eating, Taehyung started to speak up.

"as promised, i'd tell you about my story and stuff. it might be odd for me to actually know so many words yet i cannot read it's actually because i was home schooled after my mother tried to teach me how to read and write stuff well..she got tired in teaching me so she just applied to have me home schooled"

"what was her job that made her so busy?"

"i was actually confused with her job but when i asked her she was actually a consultant for many companies, you know, helping in the companies' problems and stuff. she rarely had time for me and until when i grew up she changed her job and again, she rarely had time for me"

"i feel bad"

"no don't..that was all in the past so i wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for me"

"you're very nice. your mom taught you a lot even if she was so busy didn't she?"

"yeah she did, as i was saying the home school she applied for me stopped teaching me when i was 18 years old. i was old enough and she told me to get a part-time job and i obeyed her command. i quit the job after 2 years of working in that gas station, my mom wasn't too happy about it by the way i could still read that time"

"and what caused you to forget how to read though?"

"it was actually all of my fault"

"and why would that be?? you didn't do anything wrong, judging from your story"

"it's because i decided not to read books or any words particularly"

"because?"

"because i didn't want to read anymore"

"i'm actually very worried about you even more"

"please don't worry, as i told you it's in the past"

"a-alright then.."

"anyways, i didn't want to read anymore because it's just that..my mother committed suicide because she read a death threat and when i saw her die in front of me i didn't want to read anymore because of that it was traumatizing and i decided trying not to read words anymore so that it won't creep me out with the fact that maybe the same person would give me a death threat and i would have the same fate as my mother and i know my mother wouldn't want that"

"i-i'm so sorry for your loss and for asking to tell your story to me"

"past is past, remember that Namjoon"
