Taehyungs P.O.V

I run up to my home gate but I stop before I could fully reach it. A man with a wrinkled black suit strolls out fixing his hair many times. Not again. He leaves and I'm quick on moving to my front door and inside not caring to take off my shoes.

I'm hit with the smell of smoke, cigarette smoke. Used to it, I go to my kitchen and grab a cup from the cupboard. Filling it up with water from the sink I chug it down. This isn't new for my mom to bring over a man. She is too caught up with my dad leaving she feels powerless. How is Jins mom? I hope he doesn't have to go through the same thing I do. My dad gave my mom life and he had to cheat.

My dad is living his life with a new wife and kids but my mother can't seem to take that. Can't seem to get over it, I got past it pretty quick because he was never there to begin with. "You are home." I hear my mom blow out smoke, it hits the back of my neck.

"So another man?" I say.

"What about it? Does it bother you your mother still has some to give?" She spits. I know where I got my attitude and not my hobbies.

"You're disgusting. You will never stop." I set down my glass on the counter looking out the window in front of me. It's so nice out, I'm surprised I didn't notice it when I was in the taxi. My mind was only on Jin and it still is.

"So what? What are you going to do about it, huh?!" She hollers.

I lick my lips. "Nothing. Just like what dad did to you and what you did to dad." I turn and strut past my mom. I didn't know the stuff happening in my parents affair I was too caught up in school and the fact I was popular. Didn't mind the fighting because I was barely home. Only here when nobody cared to show up and feed me. I guess my whole life crumbled when I got into high school.

"You don't know anything other than what your dick does." My mom goes to reach me with her stomping feet. Great.

I shake my head and go to my room stripping my clothes from the pervious day to put on my uniform. My mom doesn't bother me as her bedroom door is slammed shut. She is crying now. I grab the rest of my stuff and leave without apologizing. Home sweet home. Nobody is going to care about me.

My mom just doesn't want me to be like my gay uncle because she wants her last name to go on since I am her only child. That's why she has Hae-Win come over when I least expect it hoping something clicks between me and her. She wouldn't love my kids, probably treat them the same way she treats me. Like pure shit. You treat others how you feel about yourself. My dad at least tried to treat me better. He gave me money whenever I needed it and he still does that's how I payed for hotel last night. I can't wait to see Jin. I want him in my arms like this morning and another kiss. That's all I want. Him. Jin.
