Taehyung had snuck out of his room and gone to the library. He sifted through the vast variety of books. The animals section took up nearly-ninety percent of the huge library room. Taehyung had read at least seventy-five percent of those. He knew he wouldn't be able to find what he needs in that large front section.
He moved to the back of the library. All the books in this section were kept on high up shelves. Out of little Taehyung's reach. He found a chair near a desk below the shelves, scooting it over to stand on. As he looked into the "L" section of this part of the library, he noticed how damaged most of the books were. There weren't many books within this section.
As he sifted through the books, he found three with the word "love" on the cover. he carefully placed the books on the chair he was standing on, leaving enough room for his legs to move around. He stepped down from the high chair, avoiding making any noise. The library was large and far from his parents' rooms but an echo could easily be heard in such a large, nearly empty place.
Taehyung put the chair back and went to sit on the floor with the books. Out of the 3 books he picked out one with the word "LOVE" written in all capitals on the cover. The leather cover was closed with snap button.
Taehyung opened the book and began to read.
Day 1 May 17, 1993
Life here is busy. No one cares to understand the beautiful creatures that surround us. The little ones point out the smallest of beauties. One of them pointed at Kibum, "Mommy look, it's a spiky rat."
My best friend didn't like that one bit. Key came in yelling after I made it home, "That little shit, I'm a fucking hedgehog! You're the rat! Walking around smelling like a sewer with shit stuck to your ass!"
I couldn't help but laugh until my stomach hurt at his rage. He was never, what they call, a 'people person.'
He'll be with me for the time I am here. Hopefully he'll warm up to people.

Taehyung was a bit confused. He understood from the date and signature that this was his father's journal. He knew that it was before his birth from the date. He couldn't understand where his father spoke of being that he had to record his days there. 'Maybe it was something for work. But why was his friend a hedgehog and how could he speak.' He was confused by some of the words his father's hedgehog friend had said, but he could always look them up.
Taehyung was curious and didn't have much time to look through the books he had gotten. He quickly skimmed through the book. A certain paragraph caught his attention and confused him.
She has made me so thankful to be brought down to this Earth. Her sweet scent of wisteria. Her dark silky hair. The beautiful brown of her eyes. She fully entranced my heart. Jeong Yeong-Hui, the woman that taught me love.
Taehyung was shocked to see his father speak so fondly of his mother. He knew his mother's maiden name because his father refused to refer to her with his family name.
He looked up at the window, realizing the moon had reached the middle of the sky. He put everything back in it's place except for the journal.
As he was about to step out of the library he heard footsteps.

That's not Tae's real parents names. The names have meanings to them.
