Let me tell you,

It was the toughest ever possible task for the whole villagers, to ever get engaged into, which they did, unfortunately, a few days back. Which is to give the wolf boy his proper knowledge about shifting and all. Now all are regretting their descisions to do so in the first place.

Taehyung never listens. Is the only problem here all are facing now.

The most horribly regretted person is Jeon Jeongguk. Because, he is the one and only person who always leave behind, who have to face all those death glares from the villagers when Taehyung does any mistake. Now they can't just scold the cute boy right? Whom they mostly prefer to be called as pretty Male.

Poor Jeongguk, All he was doing is to just accompanying the boy in the strange village. But how the hell he would ever know that, everything turns out to be a downhill on his side though? The boy who used to woke up at the very evening time when the sun about to say by by to the world and go setting down, now exactly the same boy have to wake up at the very early in the morning before the sun even rises. FREAKING NOT A SINGLE BIRD EVEN WAKES AT THAT TIME, when he have to wake.

Now you want to know why? Just let me tell you. According to the villagers, the morning time is the most, wait no no the 'very' early morning hours are the most blessed and the healthiest time for a human body. And it starts from 5 am. BUT, Jeongguk's 5 am starts from the very 4 AM. Because it takes only 45 minutes to wake the other boy up. Then the rest is history.

Taehyung is no longer the alarm clock for the boy. His morning's ding ding noises plus the incoherent songs are now replaced with his snores only. Sometimes it feels like, The boy is getting more comfortable into the woods, In this village, amidst the nature rather then the city. And slowly everything is making sense that he always belonged to the very nature.

"TAEETAEEEEEEE...NOO....NO NO WAIT WAIT LISTEN HERE..."
A random village boy is running behind the giggling boy who seems to be already very fast and far from the huffing boy holding his shoes. And he knows, The boy knows what will the boy do with that, shoes.

he will threw those to the running water and will enjoy them getting floated by the very force of the river water while clapping his hands. Perfect. And the village boy is now running behind to save his shoe' dear life. Good knows how many shoes got abandonment for the land in the river. Why only shoes or slippers though not anything? As the boy don't like wearing himself too. That's why he made up his mind that he will decrease the very population of shoes from the whole them world.

Taehyung never dared to threw Jeongguk's, as he threatened the boy that he will immediately leave the village if he pulls out any stunt on him, so the boy had to change his plans a bit for the sake of his Kookie. Now the real victims and targets of the boy are those poor villagers. Now they never can imagined to even taking off their shoes off, not for any single moment. If they do so, then, in a blink of eye it would be gone. Gone for ever. Many even made their new habits, which is sleeping with shoes, not bare foot anymore. As No one knows from where and when the boy will come haunting them.

"This is all because of you Jeongguk."
The village boy scolded Jeongguk coming back barefoot after accepting his defeat a long time ago.

All the male were present in the jungle diverted their attention to the boy while chukling. They all knew it at the very moment he took off his shoes after sensing small stone pieces inside, that the danger is near, very near.

"If you were not that bulky, then Taetae would have never gathered such courages to do so. He knows that we no one can ever approach him with having you beside. Aaaaaaah... My shoes."
The boy grumbled sliding to the fluffy grass making a loud thud sound and he immediately layed there eyes closed.

Jeongguk just sighed as he has been doing all these days here. It's like a routine for him now to be heard such complaints. As ofcourse the boy never leaves a single option to embarrass him more. It's just a cycle anyway.

The other males too sighed and followed the previous one and layed beside him tiredly after running a lot today on the grass, until Taehyung comes, As they can walk back home. Darkness is engulfing them slowly. More over, they will have to prepare for their next day session too. Which is 'meditation' and everyone knows. This is going to be a hell of an another experience. Jeongguk just thought to look for the wolf boy.

After walking through the woods for a while. Jeongguk's face lit up immediately hearing the sounds of running water near him. He knows that he is near to the boy. Jeongguk doesn't fear to walk alone in this forest anymore. As its becoming his routine for him to come here all these days. He knows the routes too. He is kind of enjoying every moment here. If it takes eternity, then he is willing to stay here as well with Taehyung.

But for his disapproval, Jeongguk got stumbled over his foot, when a incoherent sound of sniffs comes rushing to his ears. He knitted his brows immediately trying to attend the voice more precisely, he steps forward. The more he is going forward the faint sniffs are getting louder and it giving him goosebumps now.

His movements again got blocked by a beautiful melodies voice. And he can see the boy's side profile now.

"Beautiful eyes~~~~~

Jeongguk's heart beat fastened immediately letting himself drowned by the very foreign yet familiar deep voice.

"Just like the moon.
When it shines,~~~~
You shine too.
Ooo my dear,~~~~
My dear one.

Just to let you know,
Eomma loves you more.~~~~
Why you shading tears
Talking to the moon,~~~~
Just to let you know
I am sitting on the other side,~~~~
With you, sha-ding to-o."

By ending of the song, the hiccups replaced the voice.

Jeongguk just stands there all those time listening to the beautiful song with the melodious voice. Jeongguk never listened to the boy's this voice. Moreover the boy never uttered a complete sentence before. This is so new and beautiful. If he didn't see the boy's side profile he would never believed that this voice belongs to Taetae. He is just stunned now. The boy must be facing a lot of troubles in his life. Only by thinking that Jeongguk's eyes moistened, and tears came rushing outside breaking all walls.

He knows very well how it feels to live a life without a mother. He can still remember his memories without his mother until Ivory came. At last he got his happiness which he were seeking for. But what about the boy? Until when he will have to suffer like this? A silent sob comes from Jeongguk's mouth not even retreating his eyes from the shaking figure.

The more pain he is feeling now by thinking the very reality that he can't even help the boy with anything instead of just comforting him.

"Eomma!"

Jeongguk's thoughts got interrupted by The boy's broken voice. Taehyung is looking at the river. Surprisingly the river too looking so calm now, like a ocean without waves. As it too just stopped their movements listening to his plangent ballad.

"Ta-etae."
Jeongguk uttered approaching him.

Immediately the sniffs got merged out somewhere. The boy is just looking anywhere without any word. Then randomly looked at the boy, without any expression as if he were not drowning into his own misery. There is nothing in his eyes. It was as blank as a crumbled paper. The shine of that ocenic eyes, which never stops giving Jeongguk numerous butterflies, has gone.

"Taetae." Jeongguk slides his fingers with the other, sitting beside him.
"Are you getting your memories back Taetae?" Jeongguk asked trying to hide the fact that he just heard his whole new real voice a moment ago. He thiught to just hid it for the boy's comfort.

Taehyung just shook his voice not glancing at the boy anymore.

"Taetae, You know you can say anything to me right?" Jeongguk reassured retreating a dried tree leaf from the top of the boy's head.

A long pause and silence surrounded them.

"I miss Eom-ma." Taehyung sobbed nudging his face to to the boy's neck out of a sudden and bursted out crying.

"Let it out baby. Let it out. I am willing to listen everything you say Taetae. Just to let you know I am with you too like your Eomma, not sitting otherside of the moon but with you. The near you, my moon."
