Chapter 24

"T-Taehyung~"

Kim Taehyung who was busy in doing his project with his nephew, looked up to see his Noona standing infront of the door awkwardly while gulping hard. He could see that Jisoo was sweating lightly and her face was not happy as usual.

Kim Seokjin who was also focused on his project was shocked to see his mother's state. And when his eyes locked with the watch it was just seven in the evening. The restaurant would be still open now, but he was confused by seeing his mother in their house instead of their shop.

"Ma~ What are you doing out there?" Seokjin got up before placing his notes on the table. He walked towards his mother who was still not entering the house and standing outside the door. Just when he neared Kim Jisoo, Jin's eyes wandered over two people who were standing few distance behind his mother.

Jin furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the strangers who looked like rich people. He could see their well dressed manner, and the aura which they held. His eyes then locked with his mother who was smiling sadly.

Kim Taehyung who was licking his lips anxiously, got up when he heard no response from his Noona neither his nephew.

"Noona, what's wrong? Why ar- Oh who are these people? Hello, I am Kim Taehyung, why are you both standing outside? The weather is chill, please come in."

Taehyung bowed politely and gave his boxy smile while looking at the strange couple who were having their eyes widened. He could see the woman who was in her fifties choked her cries while covering her mouth. While her husband was equally shocked and held tears in his eyes.

"N-Noona? A-Are they lost?" Kim Taehyung nudged his sister who was looking down to control her cries. She breathed a heavy sigh, and turned her head away from her brother just to wipe the tears. And with a happy face she looked at Taehyung and at the couple.

"I-I will leave you guys alone. Taehyung, j-just invite them inside. They have something to tell you. And Jin, you come with me."

With that Kim Jisoo took Seokjin along with her by leaving a confused Taehyung with the strangers. Kim Seokjin looked at his mother who was dragging him away from their house. He could tell that they both were walking towards their restaurant. But his heart ached by leaving his Ahjussi all alone.

So Seokjin looked back to see the strange couple hugging his Ahjussi and crying their hearts out. He furrowed his eyebrows by the scene, and the more faster they walked, their house became smaller by leaving Seokjin to see nothing. He could see his mother's back trembling, indicating him that Kim Jisoo was crying.

But he decided not to question. At least for now. He silently walked with her, and entered the restaurant to serve their customers. Seokjin helped his mother and the time went quickly. They both became busy and when they had no customers, Jin carefully sat in the empty bench and looked at his mother who was cleaning the table.

He could see his mother's face all puffy and red from all the crying. He didn't want to ask about what happened back in their house, but deep inside his heart ached to know more.

"M-Ma, what's happening? Who are those people?"

Kim Jisoo who busied herself in work stopped her actions and looked at the empty table. She found hard to gulp nor look directly at her son's eyes. But she also knew that Jin deserved to know the truth.

She tried to distract herself from thinking about what ifs' questions. She didn't want to let her heart and mind to feel about the future. She wasn't aware what was happening in their house, and she wished she could be peaceful. But her heart ached for her brother, Kim Taehyung.

Kim Seokjin gasped when he saw his mother breaking down with cries by holding her heart. Immediately Jin rushed to Jisoo, and hugged from her behind while whispering soft words. The more Seokjin comforted, the more Jisoo cried. She needed to let go of the matters from her chest.

After gaining some breath, Jisoo sat on the chair while Jin brought her some glass of water to drink. Thankfully, his mother quenched her thirst and looked at her son who was softly rubbing her back.

"M-Ma?" Kim Jisoo smiled sadly and held Jin's hands tightly before locking her eyes with her son.

"They are Taehyung's parents, Seokjin."

Kim Seokjin's world stopped when he heard the sentence. No words were coming out from his mouth, and he could say that his mother wasn't joking either by looking at the serious eyes.

"W-What?"

"Yes."

"I-I don't understand. A-Ahjussi is your brother."

Jisoo smiled at her son sadly and started to explain the things that happened when she was a kid. And how she recently got notification about Taehyung's parents who was still searching for their son.

After reading the message which she received in her profile where she had posted about Taehyung, she definitely understood that something was going to happen. She decided to meet them at her restaurant and she agreed with them that she would introduce their son to the family.

"S-So , Ahjussi belongs to the rich family." Kim Seokjin found himself mumbling before plopping down on the chair next to his mother. Jisoo silently nodded and let her tears fall from her eyes.

But little did she see the precious tears that were coming from her son's eyes.

Kim Seokjin's heart shattered when he came to know about the truth. Just when he felt safe around Taehyung, everything was going upside down. He was starting to like his Ahjussi and he wanted to spend more time with him.

Call him crazy or silly, but his heart felt bumpy everytime he looked at his Ahjussi. Though, these feelings may be infatuation or temporary for others' eyes, Kim Seokjin knew what those feelings were.

But now after realizing his Ahjussi's real family background, he deserved no place. Of course, if he decides to express his feelings to Taehyung, the other would definitely think about him very low. Not only his Ahjussi, but also his parents thinking that he was behind their money.

All these months he had treated Taehyung very badly, and out of the blue if he confessed his feelings, who would believe him? Especially at the time of knowing that his Ahjussi belonged to a rich family.
