Taehyun was slumped on the brown couch inside the cozy house waiting for his mother nervously .  She had contacted and requested him eagerly to meet her one last time . Taehyun wanted to refuse , he wasn't mentally prepared to face her after everything she told but he couldn't force himself to deny her  . His legs were constantly moving as he picked on his nails when clicking of heels echoed in the room to reveal his s mother dressed today in a white floral gown that hugged her slender waist beautifully . She had tied her silky hair into a messy bun with minimum makeup on her face .  Her hands were wrapped around an antique Black Box  which she placed on top of the  wooden table . After that her gaze flickered to him and he saw her amber eyes glistening brightly before she asked , " How is Beomgyu ? " Taehyun fidgeted  slightly , he will certainly not be telling her that he committed a suicide attempt.  " Better than before ." Was a simple response Taehyun provided and she hummed in agreement before adding , " Take his good care after me . "

 Taehyun quirked an eyebrow at her but she just flashed a smile in return and handed him the black box  encrusted with tiny pearls. Taehyun studied it closely  before asking his mom what it was . "  Open it only with Beomgyu by your side . I am sure he will love it . This is my last gift for you two " His mom remarked joyfully, and a shrill ding dong reverberated  in the house signalling someone was outside and Taehyun saw his mother heaving a deep sigh before marching towards the door and unbolting it. Taehyun peeped outside to steal a view but his eyes widened on spotting Namjoon and Jin with a distressed expression plastered on their faces .  Namjoon came forward and grabbed from his pockets a pair of lustrous silver handcuffs as he declared with a heavy voice , " Mrs . Kang ......you are under arrest . " 

Mrs . Kang was completely unfazed as she was already expecting it and wordlessly leut Namjoon  lock the handcuffs around her tiny wrists . Taehyun stomped towards their direction hastily and looked questioningly at the two officers before Jin said in a tiny voice said , " We are sorry Taehyun but duty comes first . Your mom had called us yesterday and had accepted her crime of murdering your father by giving desired proofs.  " Taehyun stumbled back a few steps as he struggled to breath properly and his face  lost its honey glow . His teary eyes landed on his mother had he expected her to be sad but a soft smile adorned her rosy lips and she uttered , " Taehyun my only motive was to help Beomgyu till I can and now I have played my part and it's your turn . Everyday I woke up with guilt and resentment clouding inside  till it suffocated me to death . It's impossible  to live like this , after an eternity I am finally feeling free now,  please let me go .

 " Her melodious voice cracked a little as her own eyes watered  as Taehyun came closer and embraced her in their last hug . He nestled his face in his mother's shoulders and shuddered while sobbing silently . When he calmed down , he stared at her  and mumbled , " I will miss you and remember I will always love you. "  His mother bites back a whimper and replied , " I love you too son . " She placed a sweet kiss on Taehyun's forehead and finally sauntered towards the police car . Namjoon stayed behind and glared sympathetically at him before muttering , " Your mother is a brave woman , it requires a lot of courage to surrender oneself for the bad we have committed.  She will never be a criminal in my eyes . " Taehyun nodded his head and smiled lightly at Namjoon who after bidding him goodbye joined the other two in the car and went away . 

Taehyun was in front of his apartment with the same black box tucked in his hands . His eyes were still stinging and but nonetheless the box sparked his curiosity and he wanted to know what lay inside it. He entered inside and was greeted with the smell of something burning and  suspiciously Taehyun walked towards kitchen but from a distance he saw Beomgyu standing close to counter with a burnt omlete sticked to the pan and the said boy scraping off the contents . Taehyun smirked and found the scene quite amusing . He till toed to kitchen while Beomgyu was busy scratching the knife uselessly on the destroyed dish and slowly snaked his arms around Beomgyu thin waist catching him by surprise .

 Beomgyu gasped shocking and turned around to glare at Taehyun with his eyes widened like saucers and mouth slacked open . Taehyun chuckled and pecked the boy's cheek affectionately while Beomgyu frowned and complained in his thick satoori accent ,  " Hey you gave me a cardiac arrest . Don't dare attempt something stupid like this next time . " Taehyun rolled his eyes and sarcastically remarked , " As if I will listen . Satoori accent sounds sexier  in your deep voice , I would like to hear it more . " Taehyun licked his lower lip teasingly and grinned when Beomgyu blushed furiously and shoved him aside . Taehyun  grabbed the other's hand and leaded him to the living room half hearing Beomgyu rambling about his omlete.  He forced the boy to sit on the sofa and  after that he brought the black box and saw that Beomgyu was staring at it like a small child inspecting a box of cookies  . 

" What is that ? " Beomgyu asked impatiently his eyes still glued to the boy and Taehyun placed it in Beomgyu's lap and commented ,  " See yourself . " In no time the box's lid was discarded away to the floor and Beomgyu furrowed his eyebrows confusingly when he discovered a photo album inside . Taehyun was as confused as Beomgyu and found himself leaning closer to the album as Beomgyu flipped to the first page .  Bright giggles erupted  when Beomgyu eyes landed on the photo while Taehyun's eyes were widened comically and  heat crept into his cheeks from embarrassment . Between the laughter Beomgyu remarked , " Taehyunnie ....who were so cute as a child . Where have those chubby cheeks gone ? " Beomgyu pulled both of Taehyun's cheeks while the other scowled deeply . " Where have you got it ? " Beomgyu asked while still grinned foolishly as he stared at the photograph and Taehyun smile faded away as he replied , " My mom have it to me.  " Beomgyu eyes flickered to Taehyun and he frowned on observing the other's sad expressions and asked ," Where is your mom ? " Taehyun's breath hitched in his throat  but he knew he couldn't hide the truth so he stammered , " Police arrested her on charges of killing her husband . " The album fell from Beomgyu's hands and landed on his lap as he snapped his head towards Taehyun and stuttered , " What .....but....but I killed Monster not she . "  

Taehyun tried controlling himself and gazed at Beomgyu who was panicking beside him and explained , " No you just made him unconscious for sometime.  It was mother who had stabbed him .almost times to death and she escaped later . You were not the one who killed Monster . You can ask Namjoon or Jin . Believe me you are innocent . " Beomgyu processed whatever Taehyun just said and we wanted to inquire further but on noticing the traces of fresh tears flooding from the other's eyes , Beomgyu at once engulfed Taehyun in  a warm hug while rubbing his back affectionately and this was enough for Taehyun to break down again . He circled his arms around Beomgyu's waist and clutched him tightly and mumbled  " She gave me this photo album before leaving and asked me to see it with you." Beomgyu caressed his fingers through Taehyun's  scarlet hair lovingly and whispered , 

" Stop crying Taehyunnie ......there are more pictures left in the album . I am interested  to look at all of them . "
