"Where are you going?" He just ignored me and left the house. "What's wrong with him? Yah!" He didn't even bother to look at me.

I went to the kitchen. "Ms. Jennie?" Ms. Riyeon called. "I think Mr. Kim is going to do something risky."

"What?"

"I overheard his conversation with his mother last night. His father came back." Hope everyone has one..

"Isn't that a good thing? They'll see each other again. Why is he in a bad mood?"

"His father left them two years ago, remember? His dad chose his second family and ran away with Mrs. Kim's money. Mr. Taehyung got mad and despised his father since then. He was just waiting for his dad to come back and do what he planned to do for years."

"And.. What is that?"

"I don't know. But I think he's up to no good."

"I should follow him."

"No!" She quickly grabbed my arm. "It's too dangerous. You still don't know what he's capable of."

"It's my role to protect and take good care of him. I'll try to change his mind."

"Nothing can change his mind. Believe me. Even his mother. Mrs. Kim even knelt down just to stop him from punching his father that day, yet he didn't stop. And he was just a young teen."

"I ordered him to do things. He'll listen. Trust me, Ms. Riyeon. I'll bring him back home." I left the house and tracked his phone. My smartass secretly stole it while he was sleeping last night. He's a naughty kid who goes to different places without telling anyone.

I called a taxi and followed his car. It's pretty late and the weather's not that good. It's about to rain but still, he'd leave the house just to see his father.

He stopped outside a big house and rang the doorbell. A helper opened the door and they talked. I couldn't even hear anything. "This is useless." I paid the driver and went out, secretly walking closer.

"Just tell me if the bastard is there!" He shouted.

"He's.. He's not... Sir?"

"What's going on here?" A deeper voice asked. I peeked and it was an older guy. It's his father. "Taehyung."

"You piece of shit." He started.

"I'll take care of this. Get inside." His father ordered the helper. "What do you need? I said this to you already. I'm sorry."

"You think your fvcking sorry can bring everything back?! Can bring our family back? Can bring her back?! Huh?!"

Her?

"I said I'm sorry. I don't love your mother anymore so just leave me alone!"

"You didn't even love her. You just wanted her money and ran off when you already took everything! I can see that you're happy."

"I'm happy now so please leave."

"I would do everything just to wipe that smile off your face. You don't deserve to be happy. I regret calling you dad and treating you like a role model."

"Then regret. I don't care. Go home Taehyung." Before his father could close the gate, Taehyung said something.

"You took her away. I will never forgive you." He said.

"Then don't." His dad closed the gate.

Taehyung started crying. I know he was just controlling his anger. I felt the same thing when our father left us. My eyes got teary remembering that scenery.

"I know you're hiding. Come out." I widened my eyes. He knows? How? "Jen.." His voice cracked. "I want to hug someone."

I slowly stepped out and walked towards him. "It's fine." I smiled at him. He pulled me for a hug and cried. "It's gonna pass. Just live happily and it's gonna be fine." I hugged him back. "I'll help you."

"Only you saw my weak side. I'll trust you. Why would you help me?"

"'Cause I've felt the same thing. I wanted to hurt him so badly. I lost control one day, I.. I almost lost myself and let anger take over me and.. No one even helped me to get over it. I didn't want anyone to live in the same darkness as mine."
