Taehyung's POV:

I am an only child, it used to be me, my mom and dad but 7 years ago my dad left, and assumed... Dead. My dad was a hunter, we were never a rich family, my mom would work two jobs just to keep a roof over our heads. She always came home exhausted; on the edge of passing out. I couldn't bare it anymore, so, when I turned 18 I insisted on getting a job but she would always refuse and say 'our financial problems shouldn't concern you'.

When my dad left, it tore this family apart. It broke my mom most of all, he was the one my mom would lean on. For support. Believed he would be her first and last. Let's face it, it truly was her last. I tried everything in my strength to keep her happy, to heal her broken heart but no matter what I did, it couldn't change the fact that this family was broken; missing something. But what?

Overtime, things got easier, we both were working now. Gaining more money than before, that soon resulted in us getting an apartment; it was small but fitted more than a cabin in the woods. We could live a life like a normal mother and son. As it should be. Along with looking for jobs, I had also tried applying for a college but I never succeeded; guess this is what you get for being uneducated. Perfect.

(9:30am)

On my way to work was always a nightmare, having to pass by a dark, murky alley everyday; smelling like drugs and god knows what. There was always a small group of mortal teenagers, who were raised on the wrong side of the tracks, who believed drugs and drinking solved their problems.

Anyways, work isn't so bad, I am an intern at a photography company. I've always dreamed of being a photographer, whether as a hobby or a career. Something I could never excel in due to lack of education. I never went to school as a child. Due to lack of money, we could never afford it. All I had was my dad's nature walks and shooting lessons. Life skills. Something that photography doesn't require so, an intern is the best I could get.

My mother on the other hand, works two jobs as before. Hairdresser at day, barista at night. As exhausting as it may seem, these jobs have brought us a long way. Kept us alive. Warm. It could be better but having my mom there is all I need. The constant support and love. What most people find cringe and sappy, I find the most magical thing a child could ask for. I could be living on the streets but knowing my mom will always be there gives me that slight spark of excitement and energy.

(At work)

Today is a busy day, we have the biggest company of South Korea coming ( JEON'S COMPANY) for a photoshoot to post on their new magazine. To be honest this is the biggest job we've ever had so, if anything goes wrong, they can shut us down with the snap of their fingers.

Me being an intern, I'm never really around to see the photoshoots as I'm always handing out coffees or getting paperwork. So very boring. It's never fun being an intern, I'm basically everyone's slave. No one cares what I think or what I have to say. Note to self: be seen not heard. Something no one knows about me is that, I have a secret place above the cameras. It's the perfect place to go when you need space, when work gets too hectic and it's hard to breathe.

Meanwhile, I was at the cafeteria getting coffees for my boss (Mr. MIN) when I feel a tap on my shoulder.
???- Hey dude.
Jin. He is my bestfriend, technically my only friend. We met when I came here for my interview. He was the only person who paid attention to me or even talked to me.
Taehyung- Hey hyung, what's up?
Jin- The usual, coffees, paperwork, more coffee.
Taehyung- I feel you. Are you going to the photoshoot?
Jin- You know interns can't go there.
Taehyung- Oh yeah, I forgot. Nevermind.
Jin- Okay bro, I'm out.
Taehyung- See ya hyung.
As much as I hate lying to Jin hyung, no one can know about the place. Of course I trust him but if someone finds out I could get fired and that won't help my mom.

-----------------------------------------------------------

(Photoshoot)

When I entered the room of the photoshoot, it was absolute chaos. Trying not to spill the coffees, I swerved through the ocean of humans, soon reaching my boss by a camera.
Taehyung- Mr. Min I have your coffee.
Mr. Min- Ahh, thank you Taehyung, you're excused till further notice.
Taehyung- Thank you sir.
Making my way quickly and efficiently out of the room, I opened the doors to my place. It's not huge but, it has the best view of the photoshoot, like being in the front row for the cinemas.

Time passed on and there was still no sign of the Jeon's company. 'Where could they be' I said to myself. Even from a height I could see how tense and suffocating the atmosphere was. Imagining my boss having a panic attack right about... UGHHH!! Now.

TAEHYUNG!!

Oh no...
