Equitem (VKook)

Stronger

Third Person POV

Saturdays were always lame but today it wasn't as easy going. On any other weekend Taehyung would sleep in till late especially with his mother on his side but he could not. There were no nightmares with his mother besides him but he dreaded the moment that was going to come. He snuggled closer to his mother burying his face in her to fend off the sunlight. His slight moment woke Yumi up. She has been unable to sleep since Taehyung gave nervous vibes whole night that kept her up too. She had witnessed Taehyung and Jungkook's sweet moment together enough to know why he was distressed. But she did not push the subject. But she had to prepare him since his father would be here sooner than she wanted. And hence she sat up in her bed pulling Taehyung onto her lap. The younger kept his eyes shut tight.

"Tae I want to tell you something and I know it is hard for you" she started talking, rubbing small circles on Taehyung's back but Taehyung kept his eyes shut tight. She looked down at him and let out a sigh."I know you heard me and Jack talking yesterday. I know you are afraid but I will never let anything happen to you baby. No one will take you away from me. You are my brave boy. You said you will protect me right?" Taehyung nodded now staring down at his hands. Taehyung had opened his eyes hearing that his mother knew that he heard them. But he meant it when he said he will protect her. "I know you are strong and I want you to show it. You are precious to me no matter what people will say. There will be time when people will want to control you, break you but you have to stand strong. You can be vulnerable inside but showing it to others only give them power over you" she said as she held Taehyung tighter to her chest. She caressed his hair for few minutes knowing it calmed him down. She cupped Taehyung's face and moved it to face her, "Think of this as the moment when someone wants to break you. Promise me baby you won't" she said looking deep into his eyes. He might be small but the fact that he kept the fear of his father to himself and all those secrets only he knew which were more horrifying that even a full grown wizard could handle knowing hidden was evident how strong he was. And Yu Mi was gonna make her son warrior and a noble one. She pecked Taehyung on forhead.

"Mom" Taehyung said in small voice looking at his mother taking in her feature that he missed for months, "If I ll be strong do you promise me to stay for christmas?"he asked. The question took her off guard. She put kisses on his face making younger giggle and she surely loved the sound of his laughter.

"I promise baby"she said as she hugged him again, "My little wolf" ruffled his hairs a bit. She will surely stay for Christmas, it was the least she could do for her son.

Taehyung and Yumi spent few more minutes hugging each other until Taehyung's soft snores were heard. She laid him down and wrapped him up in blankets. After finishing her morning routine she headed to check on Hoseok. This was new for him too but being elder than Taehyung he told her to sleep with him. She was beyond thankful but she knew he needed her too. After watching his mother go through all of it and being locked up, treated poorly he never let anyone close to him. She was the only person besides his mother he held precious before she had to leave. But now that she had him she was gonna raise him like her own son. She headed up to Jimin's room as Hoseok took an immediate liking to him since younger's kindness seemed to bring smile back on his face. She opened door to the Jimin's bedroom, her mouth formed a small smile seeing Hoseok holding Jimin into a protective embrace.

He had been unable to sleep but the younger kept cuddling into him so he held him closer. Jimin was a small angel and he could not give him the cold stare he usually would. Jimin's small kind gestures reminded him of his old self and a familiar warmth. He lifted his gaze from Jimin's face to the door as it opened to reveal his aunt. Her face warmly smiling at him. He was grateful to her for everything she had done for him.

"Seems like you could not sleep as well" Yumi said as she took seat besides Jimin's sleeping figure, "But someone here is quite comfortable besides you" she ran a small hand through Jimin's black curls. He was indeed an angel.
