~I acted like it wasn't a big deal, when really it was breaking my heart~

•••

     "Yoonhyo, the teacher told us to not go at home by ourselfs!" a little brown haired-boy tells to his friend, but the other one just rolls his eyes. 

    "I can go by myself Lee! I'm not a kid anymore! I already know the way home! Yesterday I lost another milk teeth, so I'm already a big boy!" the stubborn kid reply then checks the road again.

     "But-"

      "Goodbye Lee! See you tomorrow!" Yoonhyo cuts off his friend's word, then runs away from the school gate, while his friend just shrugs.

     He could have waited for his father, but he is much too angry of him. Why? Because his father confiscated his right to sweets all week! And that's just because he broke an vase! 

    "That stupid vase." the little one mumbles, then takes a deep breath. 

    He would like to go more often. He would like to hear the birds chirping more often. To see more children playing. But his father doesn't let him. Why? Because he keeps it closed as if he is in a prison. Yes, he love his father extremely much. Even though he is small, he realizes that his father only wants the best for him. But still, it gets way too exaggerated sometimes. 

    He arrives in front of a crosswalk and, when he sees no car, shrugs. It doesn't matter that it's still red, as long as the road is clear, right? 

     So he takes steps to the other side of the road. He takes one step, then another one, but when he hears a loud horn on his right, he immediately freezes. He notices that the driver of the car is trying to slow down as soon as possible, but he doesn't seem to succeed.  

     "Be careful!" he hears a warm voice, then feels in the arms of another older boy, while the car blows the same boy in the air, and he is still in his arms.

    Everything happens so fast that the little boy has no way to react. He feels his head heavy and his eyes become heavy, and the last thing he sees is the face of the boy who saved him. He immediately wonders if he really is a person, or if he is an angel.

    Then he closes his eyes and has no idea why he is no longer able to open them. He regrets that he did not wait for his father.

  "Please, please be well!" the brown-haired man whisper and then parks the car in front of the hospital.

     He feels his heart stop and run out of his rib cage, and his hands tremble non-stop. His boy is in the hospital. Yoonhyo is in the hospital!

     He went from the work as usual to pick up Yoonhyo from school, and when he didn't saw him at the gate, he thought he was still in class, so he waited for about ten minutes. But the boy had not yet come, so he asked his son's teacher where he was. When she looked at him confused, she realized that something was wrong. Yoonhyo had left about half an hour ago - according to the teacher. 

     That was when Taehyung began to panic. Where did Yoonhyo go alone? With whom? Has he never left alone, what if he got lost? Yes ... all his thoughts flew through his mind, but the panic became much stronger when he received a call from an unknown number. He answered, and when he heard that his son was in the hospital, he could swear that he was about to fainting. 

    He drove as fast as he could to the hospital-which they mentioned on the call, while some tears fell on his cheeks. He had no idea what had happened to his son. What condition was he in? Taehyung couldn't lose him either. It would be far too painful.

    "What room is Kim Yoonhyo in?" Taehyung desperately asks the woman at the front desk, and she immediately looks at a computer screen.

    "In room forty-three." the woman answers, and the man nods, then runs to the room.

      He arrives in a few moments, then takes a deep breath for a few seconds. A man in a white robe comes out of his son's room, and Taehyung has no idea how to calm down his fear.

    "He... he is okay? What happened with him? I can see him?" the brown haired-man asks in a worried tone, and the doctor looks at him with a small smile. 

    "I guess you are the father, right?" he asks and the other nods instantly.

    "Yes, I am his father! Please, tell me he is okay!" 

   The doctor giggles a little, while the younger one feels his hands more sweaty too. 

     "You don't have to worry, your son is fine!" the doctor says and Taehyung swallows his eyes, feeling how he is able to breathe again.

     "But what happened? Why is he here?"

     "From what I was informed, your son crossed the pedestrian crossing irregularly and a car was about to step on him. He was lucky that a brave boy saved him." the white-haired man exaplains, and Taehyung it is speechless for a few seconds.

    "What do you mean a boy saved him?" Taehyung asks, and the doctor points to the room next door, the number forty-four.

    "Not exactly a boy, more a young man. He grabbed your son in his arms, and when the car braked hard and was about to hit your boy, he touched that man. Your boy fainted from the shock, but absolutely nothing happened with him, he is completely fine, which is due to that stranger. " the doctor says and Taehyung looks at the room.

    "How is the man who saved my boy?" Taehyung then asks, already feeling grateful.

     "He suffered a light blow to the head, but fortunately it is nothing. The luck was on both sides. Both of them can be discharged today."

     "Can I see him?"

      "Which of them? Your son or that man?"

       "I will see Yoonhyo later, but at this moment I want to thank that man." the younger man says and the doctor nods. 

   "Sure. Now please excuse me, I have to go." the eldest says, then leaves, and Taehyung arrives in front of room forty-four.

     He has no idea how he could thank him enough, but he could at least hew could pay him. If it weren't for him ... his reason for happiness would have been in big trouble. 

    He takes a deep breath and knock slowly the door. He doesn't hear an answer, so he opens it slightly, then looks at a man's figure. He looks out the window, sitting with his back to Taehyung. He then straightens his voice, but the man at the window doesn't seem to be affected in the slightest by his presence.

     "I'm ... I'm the father of the boy you saved. I came to talk to you. " Taehyung begins, then approaches the young man in front of him.

    "You should be more careful when it comes to your son. You shouldn't leave him unattended." the mysterious young man says, and Taehyung stops walking as soon as he hears the other's warm, sweet voice.

   "I was at work, and when I went to pick him up from school, he was nowhere." Taehyung says, and when the young man in front of him turns to face him, he doesn't understand what's going on with him.

   He does not appear to be more than eighteen years old. He has white skin, black eyes, just like a doll. His brown hair is slightly curly, and when he gives Taehyung a smile, he seems to turn into a cute bunny. Taehyung doesn't understand why he feels he's seen him before.

    "It's okay, I understand you. I'm glad I arrived on time and I was able to help." the boy says, and Taehyung smiles a little.

     "For me, it's the most important. If something had happened to him, I have no idea what I would have done." Taehyung admits, and the other just smiles again and shows his cute bunny teeth.

     "But absolutely nothing happened, so don't stress anymore." the boy with the bunny smile assures him, and the other one takes the phone out of his pocket.

     "Tell me how much money you want, I'll transfer it to your account right now." Taehyung says, and the other one has to raise his right eyebrow.

    "You're insulting me now. Do you really think you'll take money because I saved your son? What kind of person do you think I am?" the boy with wavy hair revolts, and Taehyung smiles weakly.

    "I just wanted to thank you somehow. What you did is extremely important for me." Taehyung explains then sigh.

    "If you want to reward me somehow, take more care of your son from now on." the doll eyed-boy tells in a soft voice, while Taehyung he can't understand what's going on with him.

   He feels something strange in his stomach, only to later realize something. He doesn't even know his name. 

    "I'm Kim Taehyung. We talked, but I realized I didn't even introduce myself." the brown-haired man says, and the other smiles.

    "I'm Jeon Jungkook. Delighted by the acquaintance." the other introduces himself, and Taehyung smiles at the name.

   "How old are you? You look extremely young." Taehyung asks, only to hear Jungkook laugh later - he has to admit it's a pretty sound.

    "Thanks, so do you. I'm twenty-two, but you?"

     Taehyung looked intently at the little one. Is he really twenty-one? He looks like a teenager. 

     "I'm twenty-seven, and Yoonhyo, my son, is seven."

     "Oh, so you are my hyung!" the younger one exclaims and Taehyung laughs a little.

     "Yeah, I guess I am." the older one says, but Jungkook doesn't answer anymore, because the phone rings, and he takes it out of his pocket immediately.

     His smile disappears immediately, and his face frowns. 

    "Okay, I will be there in half an hour!" he says and then hangs up.

    "Did something happen?" the big one asks, even if he doesn't understand why he does it.

     "Just... just some problems at work. I have to be there  as soon as possible." the little one says and then swallows in sec.

     "Do you have a car to get there?"

     "I'll look for a taxi or something." the little one says and then he wants to leave, but when Taehyung grabs his left wrist, he stops immediately.

     "I will take you there." the older one says and Jungkook just smiles weakly.

     "No need! I-"

     "At least that's what I can do. I go get Yoonhyo, and then we go to your place of work." the other one says in a demand voice, and the little one nods briefly.

     He doesn't like that. When he is helped by someone. But this time he really has no choice. He has to get to work as soon as possible. He can't lose that place! This time really can't refuse someone's help.

     Hoseok called him four times before, but he couldn't pick up because of the doctor. When he was finally able to answer him- while he was talking with Yoonhyo's father- he told him that he really needs to be there very soon. Why? Because their boss wanted to talk with him.

     And Jungkook knows for sure that he will not care at all about the reason he wasn't at the work. He will not care at all about the fact that he saved a little boy from an accident. He will scold him very bad, or the worse scenery, he will fire him.

     He can't allow this. He can't be fired. Without this job, he will have just another one, where is paid even worst. And he need more money. For his mother.

    And he can't rest at all. Because his mother has trust in him.
