Everything was normal, back to how it was but the Lee Family and the Lim family were busy with the wedding preparation. Jugyeong wanted a small simple backyard wedding but the parents from both sides seemed to have more ideas and more invitees which made the "small wedding preparations" ended up as another "big wedding preparations".

Lee Joo-Heon decided to take care of the marriage with the Lim family together and so that Suhan can focus with the agency and her works plus Suho was also working on everything together.

Suhan sat down on the chair as she look at the decorations taking place, Suho helping with the lights and Jugyeong decorating the chairs with some cute dried flowers and scented candles placed at the corners then tie it with a cute small white ribbon bow.

It was already 2pm and she promised Taehyun to pick him up. She quickly stood up and walked out of the wedding venue before instructing some changes in the altar decorations and driving off to the school.

Kang Taehyun sat at the corner of the class with his small lego set on the table. It was the free period until they were allowed to go home and also a period that Taehyun wants to end fast. The other kids were all sitting together and having some snacks together or some playing together, being noisy and chatting with each other but the little guy was at the corner.

His bangs slightly covered his eyes, his eyes drooped low, small frown on his face, movements slow as he set up his lego set, some few paper balls beside his table and some scribbles on his desk.

Among all the students who radiates bright energy, Taehyun was different. He was aloof and quiet and just different. He let the kids trample over him, call him names and let them do whatever they want with him and he still didn't mind them and didn't even bother telling it to his father or his great-grandfather.

"Hey stinky rich boy, your mama will come to pick you up right?"

One of the small guy sitting beside Taehyun teased him and the other kid sitting infront of Taehyun made a fake "shock" expression and look at the one who just questioned.

"He doesn't have a mama so how will his mother come pick him up? I heard that his mother ran away with a guy because she didn't like him"

The sarcastic teasing tone erupted the whole class into a fit of laughter. The young girls just sighed and left the classroom knowing that they're doing the same old thing again but they didn't bother to help Taehyun at all because if they do, they'll likely be in trouble.

One of the kid, Noh Jungwoo stepped forward with a red marker pen and threw away the lego on Taehyun's desk and scribbled something on the table. Everyone were curious on what he was writing and then as he was done, everyone started laughing when they saw what was written

❛ Taehyun looser boy. No mother.
Your mother hates you and she left you ❜

Everyone suddenly started calling him names and for some unknown reasons Taehyun didn't have the patience he always had like before and didn't care what he was thinking before throwing a punch at Jungwoo. The kids gasped and the class went dead silent.

"Did Taehyun.... just punched Jungwoo?"

"Kang Taehyun!"

And suddenly there was a fight between Taehyun and three other small boys of the age, they were kicking and punching each other with all their might.

When the teacher entered the classroom she was shocked. Never in her wildest dream did she expected to see a young kid fight like this. Taehyun's cheeks were scratched and his hear really looked like a messy bird nest. The four kids looked up to the teacher with some bruise here and there but their state, rather than getting angry she just found them cute because their state was somehow funny but she quickly pushed away her thoughts and put on a stern face.

"All the four of you come here"

Suhan stood outside the school and waited for Taehyun to come out. She was there for 20 minutes but she still couldn't see the young boy even though half of the students already left the school, but she still decided to wait for sometime.

"We're sorry" Suhan turned around and saw three young guys bowing to Taehyun who was holding the Teacher's hand then the three ran away afraid that the teacher will do something if they stayed longer. When the three kid passed Suhan she could see some bruise on their face and hair was messy, her heart felt uneasy for some reason and she saw Taehyun coming out from the school with the teacher holding his hand.

"Kang Taehyun!? Are you okay??"

Seeing this state, Suhan's leg almost gave up. His cheeks were a bit bruised and painted with some pink shades and hair was all messy, his uniform distorted. "What in the world happened to you?"

The teacher stepped up and gave a deep bow, "Ceo Lee, I'm really sorry for whatever happened today. I didn't check up on the kids well and caused troubled"

The teacher informed Suhan whatever happened at the school and Taehyun was quiet the whole time. Standing beside Suhan and holding onto his school bag quietly, shoulders drooped. Suhan and the teacher gave each other farewell and finally Suhan kneeled to reach Taehyun's height.

"Taehyun-ah....."

She just couldn't find words to speak. He was just a 7 year old and yet he acts like an adult at school, hiding all this things to himself and carrying it on his own. For a 7 year old boy to reach this level of patience and hiding his sadness and things happening at school while covering it up with a smile in front of the family members.

"I'm sorry that I didn't know you're going through all this Taehyun-ah"

But Taehyun stood there motionless, tears in his eyes but this was the first time Suhan saw this side of Taehyun ever since she knew him which is almost a year by now. He always had the cheerful addictive smile and never fails to cheer up everyone but then seeing this state left Suhan speechless and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Aunty..."

"Yes Taehyun?"

"Can't....."

"Can't I just call you mom?"

"Huh?"

Suhan's mind freezed and the young boy broke into tears, the tears he has been holding ever since he saw Suhan coming to pick him up and seeing him in his worse situation. His heart suddenly felt so empty and couldn't even understand his own emotions. He was overwhelmed with all the emotions and couldn't put it in words but he can tell one thing clearly ; He was feeling sad.

His shoulder shaked slightly and started bawling his eyes out

"Are you going to leave me too? Like that woman did? Am I not loveable?"

Suhan never expected those words to escape from the cute little mouth, especially when he addressed his biological mother as ❛ that woman ❜ which one can clearly tell that he never acknowledged her at all.

Suhan immediately pull the little guy into a hug and pat his back "I won't leave you, I'm right here.. I won't go anywhere..Shh...It's okay Taehyun-ah... you have me, I'm right here alright?"

Suhan suddenly remembered a particular sentence and played at the back of her mind,

"Because they'll be able to call you mama while I can't . . . . because I'm not your child"

"But at least I can call you in secret right? . . . . . You're my favorite person . . . . . Mama"

So it was you Taehyun-ah. She took a deep breath and pulled the guy and wiped his tears with a smile on her face "Taehyun-ah, you shouldn't address someone older than you like that and don't cry, I won't leave you"

But Taehyun just couldn't hold his emotions anymore, his eyes and tears gave up when he saw Suhan's caring action and face.

"Just call me Mama, hmm?"

Taehyun went quiet and stare at Suhan for a couple of seconds and then threw himself at her arms

"Ma......Mama"

Suhan wrapped him up with her arms and patted his back to calm him down, "From tomorrow you can brag to your friends that your mama is going to pick you up and treat you to KFC and even go to the amusement park together...I won't leave you, you're such an amazing child Taehyun-ah"

"Mama.....Mom.....Thank you so much"
