─── 𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗬 SEVEN . . 𖥻 27﹕ ❪ dandelions

SUHAN understood that Shin Ha-ri was shocked to see her biological son after all, it's already 7 years and her son was turning 8 years in few days. Imagining how she had to carry the life inside her for months and months yet leave it right after birth? Suhan never understood why Hari did that. Even though Taemu told her that it was because their marriage wasn't going well with Taemu going up and down for business while Hari started neglecting him and the marriage and chose a new career.

But whatever the reason was, atleast Shin Hari wasn't coming after her or Taemu to take back her biological son. Suhan and Taehyun were silent the whole time until they reached Suhan's home and Taehyun quietly went to wash up after greeting Suho who was there with Seojun.

"Noona... what happened to Taehyun?"

Seojun brought the glass of fresh orange juice and handed it to Suhan who just let out a deep sigh "We ran into Miss Shin Hari while we were at KFC earlier and Taehyun spoke some rough words to Miss Shin"

"Oh.. Wait What!?! Shin Hari?! as in.. the biological mom of Kang Taehyun?!"

"Yes"

Suho now understood why Taehyun behaved that way but he knows that the little guy is matured and will calm down soon. Suhan finished the juice and went to her room to fresh up and finish up the paperwork which she didn't finish yet while Seojun and Suho prepared the dinner and thinking of ways to cheer up the little guy.

As Suhan was reading the contracts of the recent trainees signed up, she couldn't focus at all and her mind kept on jumping to some scenarios. She took out her phone and checked the timing "Should I tell Taemu or not? It will disturb him and his trip....Ah.. this is driving me crazy man..."

There was a knock on the door and it slowly opened revealing Taehyun in his pajama "Ma.. can I enter for a while?"

"Sure.. come here"  the little guy walked up to Suhan and sat on her laps quietly, making himself comfortable and Suhan pat his hair and place a soft kiss "Did your uncles sent you to call me for dinner?"

"No.."

He didn't continue to speak but he hugged her tightly, nuzzled his face at the crook of her neck. Suhan gently held the little guy in her arms and patiently waited for him to speak up because she knew that Taehyun wanted to say something but wanted to mentally prepare himself.

"Mom... you'll never leave me like that woman does, right?"

"Hmm.. I'll never leave you dear. I know you have some emotion towards Miss Shin but never address someone older to you like that and no matter what the circumstances is, she's still your biological mother alright?"

Taehyun slowly lifted up his head and looked at Suhan with tears glistening in his eyes and lips puckered up, trying to control his tears "I know Mom... would things be different if I were your biological son?" his voice broke in the end and the tears that he was holding back flowed like the brook in the middle of the forest with the sunbeams dancing on it.

Suhan smiled gently as she wiped the tears slowly and placed a kiss on his forehead "Blood or not, you're still my son and will always be my favorite son, my little treasure. The world may speak nonsense about us, me or your dad or your uncles but who cares? We know the truth and why should we care about what others say.......Taehyun-ah, I am glad I met your dad because I met an amazing treasure like you in my life.... I may not be the best mom you can have but I'll try my best to be the best mother you could've ever have"

Taehyun began sobbing in Suhan's arms muttering thank you in between the sobs and Suhan just let the boy do his wish because she knew that he has been holding in for the whole day and trying to act mature because he was shy to break down unlike the kids of his age "I pretend like it doesn't matter but it hurts me Mom..."

"My little treasure, remember that you're just still seven year old and you're allowed to be open with your feelings. It's okay if you cry, scream, throw tantrums when you're not feeling alright. You are mature already but don't be mature too early because later on when you grow up, your inner child won't be healed and it will cause you a lot of sadness in future like how it occurred to me. You're precious to me, your dad, your uncles , your great-grandparents too... and most of all, I love you Taehyun-ah.. Mummy loves you"

Suhan slowly tucked Taehyun on her bed and pulled the think blankets over his body and gave a goodnight kiss on his forehead. She opened the box near the dressing table and took out the cigarette with the lighter and headed out from the room.

Suho who was busy making the japchae looked up seeing Suhan coming down from the stairs "Noona.. where is Taehyun? Dinne is almost ready... Wait... Are you going back to your old habits again?" 

Suhan quickly hid the cigarette but it was too late "Just today.... and don't wake up Taehyun anymore...Let him rest, he ate some foods earlier so let him have heavy breakfast tomorrow morning. I'll be at the garden"

She didn't give a chance to let her younger brother speak and came to the garden where the freshness of the garden welcomed her happily. The sweet fragrance immediately filled her nose and the beauty of the Gladiolus lily filled the garden corner with the jasmine spreading the sweet scent of its flower. The big purple bougainvillea tree was swaying from side to side along with the breeze.

Suhan stood near the jasmine tree and lit up the cigarette and brought it close to her lips, taking in few puffs and looked at the dull sky where no stars or moon could be seen. As silence engulfed her, suddenly she was reminiscing about the past. The talk she had with Taehyun had awoken her inner child... the inner child which she needed to heal and never got the chance to heal it.

Suhan never really had time to care for herself because ever since she remembered, she was made to study etiquette on how to become a proper lady, made to take business class and take care of the little brother. During her teenage years, she didn't even have friends because she was busy spending her time studying and taking care of her brother and father and trying to take over the agency. Her daily routine were same throughout her whole life cycle.

She barely remembered the last time someone hugged her and told her she was doing well and it was okay to take break too. She barely even remembered that she had time to do those.

As she was deep in thoughts, she felt a light footsteps from behind and felt a familiar aura filling her with a hug.
"Taemu?"

Suhan dropped the cigarette and turned around seeing Taemu with a soft smile in his comfortable clothes "You.. what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be overseas?"

Taemu just smiled and pulled the girl into his arms giving a tight hug and patting her back "I missed you... Thats why I came back...What you need right now is my warm hug, my love"

and you always find me in my worst.
