Sorry for not updating a couple of weeks or maybe months. I've been busy as always :"( . Howbeit, I still wish you had a merry merry christmas and a bountiful new year! I hope this year 2021 may bring us lots of blessings. May 2020 be a huge lesson for us to change for the better in order to protect ourselves, the economy and the environment. Let us all praise God and accept 2021 to be our another chance. We all shall rise as sunshine finally gives us hope :) Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Taehyung trudges himself to home while his mind is still disturbed. He never thought he will be able to commit with the most dangerous and prohibited deal. The gaffe brings the kid on huge shame on himself. Illegal drugs are indeed a big deal. He swears to God he had no idea. Taehyung was scared to be screwed if his mother or worst other people knew what he did. As a naive child, he is afraid to be punished.

He's standing in front of their small house yet he's still doubting if he'll go inside. Within a couple of seconds, he turned his pace and decided to not to. He strolls again along his way with mind disturbed by the thrilling memories and various queries about life being too unfair on them.

His feet brought him into a place where he met the boy named Jungkook. Remembering the kid, his so-call new friend at least makes him feel that not everything is about pain and fear. Jungkook is a real blessing for him even he just met him for once and unsure if he'll meet the boy again.

Taehyung sat on the swing where he met Jungkook. The iron locks of the swing screeches as he moves. "I hope to see you again, Jungkook," he mutters.

The cold wind whips his flesh and fans against his face. It's been cloudy and rainy season has come. It is sure that any moment, heavy rain and storms will disturb people again. There is no other children playing on the playground. Probably because their parents don't let them as the weather seems giving a threat of heavy rains.

After giving himself time to be completely alone, he stood up and decided to go to mister Ryan who he works to. The boy's working as his helper on his garage or perhaps as house-boy whenever mister Ryan and his wife go out since they never had a kid.

Taehyung when he got there, the married couple with no child were about to leave. Mr. Ryan greets him and handed him the duplicate of the key. ".. you're just on time, Taehyung. Here. Take care of the house and the garage until we got home," he said with a slight smile, not reaching his ears nor his eyes. They also seem in a hurry. "We'll be at 4pm!" he shouts before he gets in his car with his wife on the passenger seat.

Taehyung goes in and there, some dispersed clothes and bottles of wine everywhere— on sofa, glass table, over the flat screen television. He can't understand why are they so messy though Mrs. Emma, Mr. Ryan's wife isn't busy at all— well, not if she's not with her amigas and amigos, playing majong or playcards. On the other side, Taehyung's not really that complaining. He's thankful to be exact because without their mess that has to be organized and cleaned, if the wedded pair aren't busy on their own businesses, he had no job, no pay and a burden (just like his father whose money from illegal bargain were spend through gambling, bets, bad habits and as if his hands have holes, the circulation of money in his palm is quick and unsteady).

Taehyung took hours, cleaning living room and kitchen. The rain is splattering heavily as well. He glances at the wall clock, sights 2:16 pm and he has not eaten his lunch yet. As much as he wants to steal some foods on Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Emma's fridge, he just can't— not until they give their permission. Taehyung wasn't born to be a thief even how poor or desperate he is and no matter how strong the urge of something to do bad thing(s), he just keeps reminding that to himself.
