-"Mumma!!! Where are you??"

Little 4 years old Taehyung was roaming to the whole house in order to search his mother who was hiding from him as they were playing hide & seek.

-"Here!! ... No!!" His face dropped the excitement as he couldn't find his mother. He moved the curtains aside but there also weren't his mom. He peered around of his surroundings. The whole interior was empty. Only he was standing in the middle.

Tears started to gather in his little doe sambaegan eyes.

-"Mum-mma!!" His voice cracked. Tears fell down on his cheeks. He started to whimper while looking around standing in the middle.

-"M-mumma!!! Where a-are you?" He sobbed loudly.

-"Tae!!! I'm here!!" His mother came out from the corner of stairs and hugged her child.

-"Hssshhh!!! Mumma is here baby!! Hsshh!!"

Taehyung brought his little arms near her neck and kept his head near her heart. His whimper went slower.

-"Wh-where were you mumma??!! I c-couldn't f-find Y-You." He said sniffing.

Mrs. Kim chuckled a bit. She broke the hug and wiped the tears from his fluffy cheeks which bounced a little from her delicate touch.

-" Are you afraid, my boy?"

Taehyung nodded while sniffing again.

-"I-I thought Y-You le-left m-me."

His mother took him in her embrace again and started to pat his small head.

-"Don't be. Don't afraid again. Aren't you Mumma's brave boy?"

Taehyung again moved his head in agreement.

-"Then?? Do brave boys become weak that easily? No, nah!!! Always remember Taehyung, you aren't alone. Mumma is always with you, even from far."

-"No!!! Why far? You will stay with me always." Taehyung clutched the collar of his mother's shirt tightly.

Mrs. Kim smiled and kissed the back of his head.

Little 7 years old Taehyung came back home crying badly while being  injured in his left knee. Blood was dripping down slowly from the wound.

-"What happened Taehyung? How you got hurt?" Mrs. Kim asked being worried.

-"M-mumma!!! I won't go to school anymore. I don't like that school." He complained getting near to his mother's clasp.

-"Why?"

-"No one likes me there. They pushed me near a rock and I got hurt here." Taehyung stated showing his injury while his eyes were continuously pouring water.

Mrs. Kim hugged him. Her motherly heart also clenched seeing her little son's sniffs.

She took out antiseptic liquid and soaked it by cotton cause of treating her son's wound. But Taehyung moved his legs side indicating his fear with antiseptics.

-"Mumma!! Don't!! It hurts a lot." He said showing puppy eyes.

Mrs. Kim sighed and put the cotton aside.

-"Okay Tae. Tell me, what you wanna become in future?"

Taehyung seemed thinking something.

-"Ummm... Maybe.. A PIANIST!!!" He said with exciting tone as his eyes glistened like diamonds.

-"Why, pianist?" His mother furrowed her eyebrows as kids nowadays want to become doctor, engineers, businessman.

Taehyung giggled .

-"Cause I love tones mumma. Whenever I hear them I feel like I can make my owns. I can-" his voice got higher as his excitement took over.

-"I can creat my own tunes and spread them among the whole world."

Mrs. Kim took the opportunity and again put some antiseptic on the cotton while Taehyung was unaware of his mother's deeds. He was in his day dreams.

-"So my boy wants to become a pianist so that he can own the music world?"

Taehyung immediately nodded.

-"Yes mumma!!! And my jingles will be calm and soothing not boring." He said showing his boxy square smile completely ignoring the pain of his knee .

-"And done." His mother said as she finished wiping the blood. That time Taehyung realised his mother's trick. He pouted.

-"This is not fair mumma!!" He said pouting.

Mrs. Kim laughed and pinched his bubble cheeks.

-"Not wanting to go to school is fair?"

-"But mumma!! They always bully me." He said saddening his face.

Mrs. Kim brought him in her lap and placed his head near her heart.

-"Taehyung, we all have to face difficulties in our paths. The more we walk the more dents are found. That doesn't mean we stop. We've to deal with all. Then we become human. A strong human which no one can break, no one can draw scars."

She removed bangs from his forehead and pecked there.

-"You've to become a human also. A human which everyone does dream of. A human who devote themselves for other. But remember one thing, Giving yourself in the sake of others is okay but not completely." Little Taehyung twitched his eyebrows which made his mother smile on him.

-"Mumma!!!! Don't leave me, please!!!" 10 years old Taehyung tightly gripped the dress of his mother. His mother didn't look back to him but tried to free herself.

-"Taehyung!!! Leave me!!" She said sternly.

-"Nooooooo!!! Mumma!!! Please." He even clutched more tightly.

-"Leave me!!!!" She yanked her dress from him and started to walk.

-"Nooooooooooo!!!!!!! Mummmaaaaaaa!!!" Taehyung was about to run but his father stopped him.

-"Taehyung, let her go."

-"Nooooo!!! Mumma!!!" He rampaged throwing his legs and hands as his father picked himself to go inside of their house.

From far, he saw his mother turned back and weakly smiled at him. But his vision got blurry as he started to cry loudly.

-"I'm sorry boy, but she's no more."

A simple sentence was enough to slip the ground under Taehyung's feet. He was just bit late as he had to deal with his school. He just got to know about the illness of his mother yesterday. But his father didn't allow him to come. As a result he had to wait for finishing the school period. But seems like fate hates him most. He didn't even get the chance to talk for the last time to his mother.

-"This can't be... Th-this can't be.... M-mumma!! Come back...come back mumma!!"

All he could only see the darkness were depleting him around while mumbling those words.

-"Come back, mumma!!! Come back!!!"

-"Taehyung!!! Taehyung!!!!!!"

Taehyung shot his eyes open and sat straight from the posture of laying down on the couch. He at first looked around and realized it was a dream. A realistic dream.

-"Are you okay?? Have you dreamt bad?"

Jimin was here to take the jug of water from the table. He saw Taehyung was mumbling something while laying on the couch. So he did go near to him.

Taehyung closed his eyes and nodded at him.

-"I-I'm fine." With that he got up and walk near to the entrance.

-"Where are you going at this hour?"

Without minding to to give answer to Jimin, Taehyung went away closing the door behind.

The heavy air hit his hair making him shiver a little. The winter wind seemed more icier as the wind of river mixed with it.

Taehyung was standing near the Han River bridge. He was gazing down. The blackness of the sky did reflect on the river water colouring it like whole atmosphere along with his life.

Everything in his life seemed were consumed by the blackness of tempo. He in his life never imagined he will have to see this day in his life.

"Does fate hate me this much?" He questioned himself.

"Or did I do something very bad like a great sin in my past as a result I'm facing all these?"

But all of sudden, his ocean of thoughts broke as he heard a very steady whining sound. At first he shrugged it off thinking it might be out of stressing too much.

Again he heard the sound of whimpering again. And this time it got a little louder made his curious self to go and check on it.

To be continued-
