Secrets revealed

Taehyungie POV:-

I froze when I heard the gunshot.

No please no...

I was so scared to even turn. But I still slowly turned and I'll never forget what I saw next.

My mom was on the ground with her hand on her stomach and lot of blood coming out of her wound. Kyung-soo saw this and ran away with his gun in his hand not before saying,

"I'll be back for you bitch."

I felt numb at the moment. I rushed towards my mother tears already dripping down my face. I kneeled down next to her crying hard.

Mom was awake and trying to tell me something, but before she could say anything I ran and picked up my phone and called 911 and asked for help. They said ambulance is coming. I gave them our address and rushed back to mom.

"Mom don't worry nothing will happen to you okay? The ambulance is coming, just hold on please", I cried

"Honey listen to me okay, just let me talk", she spoke in low voice.

"No mom don't waste your energy, we'll take you to the hospital okay, don't worry", I try to stop her tears pouring down her face.

But she was adamant about telling me something.

"No honey listen to me this is important okay. Just listen I don't have much time. Honey I wanted to tell you so much more about your past and the things that you deserve to know", she said in pain voice.

I look at her confused. What the hell she is talking about! Is this really important now!?

"I didn't have the courage to tell you that you have more family dear, you have a family out there existing. I know you always wondered where your father is and why doesn't he live with us. Honey you will get your answers in a box I've kept inside my cupboard. The key to the box is in my purse. Open it and see, you'll know a lot more about your family. Always remember whatever I did, I only did it because I love you and care about you, please never misunderstand my actions, okay?", she said pleadingly

Family?! What?

"Promise me you'll live your life to the fullest okay, don't cry and don't be upset. I'll always be with you.", she said smiling weakly.

I was crying real bad all this time. I couldn't believe what she just told me. I didn't want to believe that she'll leave me. I could see she was loosing a lot of blood and somewhere in my heart I knew she doesn't have much time. But I was being stubborn to not wanting to believe it.

I held a cloth on her wound to somehow stop the blood. My mind was blank, I don't know what to do.

I didn't want to accept that I might never see her smiling face everyday in the morning, her scolding me for getting into trouble in school, me and her not having movie nights anymore. I don't want to believe that I won't have her warm hugs again.

"Mom don't talk like that please", I cry non-stop.

She held my cheek in her hand making me look at her.

"You're very mature for your age and I know you'll be fine. I'm proud of you honey. I love you", she said crying slowly.

"I love you too mom. I can't live without you so you have to keep breathing okay. Everything will be fine, you're gonna be okay", I said in a hurried voice.

I don't know if I was assuring her or myself

She gave me a faint weak smile and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her real tight and cried loudly.

"Mom I love you, thank you for everything you gave me. You are the best mother. Don't leave me please, don't--", I stopped suddenly realising something.

She went limp in my arms.

I pulled away and stared at her. I couldn't process what happened. I faintly heard the door open and people coming in. I held her face in my hands and stared at her, but her eyes held no life.

I came out of shock when someone touched my shoulders. I don't know what happened to me and I started screaming.

"MOM! MOM! Wake up! You can't leave me okay please please please COME BACK PLEASE", I cried screaming shaking her.

I felt someone hugging me from behind, it was

Mrs Kim. She was crying too... she must have heard the ambulance coming and came in with them.

One officer crouched down next to mom and checked her and then looked at me with pity.

"I'm extremely sorry dear", he said softly. His face holding geniune sympathy and emotions.

They picked up mom's body and took her away from me and I turned and hugged Mrs Kim very tightly seeking some comfort and cried my heart out. She didn't say anything and cried with me.

After a while they took me to the police station. They asked all kinds of questions and I responded without any emotions. I don't think I felt any emotion except the numb feeling.

After some hours of all the document work and police coming and talking to me asking many questions, because this was practically a murder.

I told them what happened and then they finally let me go home telling me my social worker will come soon.

I don't care. I felt so exhausted physically and mentally and didn't want to be in anyone's company.

When I went home I saw Kai and Jennie in the living room with Jennie's parents. When they saw me entered, they rushed towards me and gave me a one tight warm hug.

I was so exhausted that I didn't even return the hug. They tried talking to me but I didn't talk. Jennie was crying and Kai looked he'll cry any moment now.

I just walked upstairs to my mom's room and sat on her bed. No one followed me and I was grateful for that. I wanted to be alone for while.

I held her photo frame that was on the nightstand close to me and I just sat there. I didn't even have tears left to release.

I don't know how long I sat there but after sometime I stood up and went towards mom's cupboard remembering her last words to me. I took the key from her purse, found the box and opened it.

There were two letters and some pictures of my childhood. They had me, mum and an unknown man. I assume that's my father.

I stared at him for a while. Who is he? How is he? Is he a good man? Why haven't I ever meet him?

I shake my head to get out all of my thoughts.

One letter was addressed to someone name Seo-joon and other letter was named as Taehyungie.

I kept the other letter aside not wanting to read it. And opened the letter addressed to me.

...Letter...

Dear Taehyungie,

If you are reading this letter now then I'm unfortunately dead. I wrote this letter hoping to let you know about some things that I never had the guts to tell you myself. Honey I know you always wondered who your father is and where he is or if he is alive.

Taei, his name is Kim Seo-joon. The man in the picture you would have found with this letter is your father, honey.

When you were few months old. I ran from our family and brought you with me without their acknowledge. I wanted to protect you from some dangers I can't tell you about that right now. I'm sorry. But remember I only did this to protect you and give you a normal and safe life. I left your father and come to Daegu in order to start a new life for both of us. I know you must be very angry that I never told you about this and your father. I'm really sorry honey. I did what I thought was best for you at that moment.

Just remember that I love you and will always be watching you from above, seeing you playing all ridiculous pranks on others, troubling people, laughing crazily, eating ice-creams and dancing funnily. Never change honey and be happy. One day you will understand what I did and why I did.

I'm not in this world now so you're most likely to go live with your father. He always loved you honey. Give him a chance and please give him the letter I wrote for him.

Live your life to the fullest, Kim Taehyungie :)

Lot's of love,

Mom

I had a faint smile on my face reading the prank part of the letter. She knows me so well.

I can't believe I have a father who my mom left. I guess I'll meet him now. I don't think I'm upset with her. I mean I would have liked to know about my father before but I trust her so I can't be mad at her though I wonder why my father never tried to contact us.

Wow. It feels weird to call him my father too.

I promise you mom I'll live my life to the fullest and never change. I'm your daughter and will be yours. I love you so much and will miss you everyday.

I'll remember you whenever I smile and will smile whenever I remember you.

With that I put everything back inside the box and shut it and kept it in my room and went downstairs to meet my social worker and know more about my father who I'll now probably be living with... atleast that is if he takes me in.

God knows what will happen now.
