~ 3rd Person POV ~

Taehyung looked up at the clock in his bedroom, watching it tick away as he was unable to even sleep. The whole thing with Gaeul pissed him off so badly that he couldn't shake it off. To saying that he abandoned his family to spitting in his face.

What the actual fuck was her problem? Despite his calm and respectful behavior towards her, she only became more irritated and rude with him.

He couldn't quite grasp why she disliked him so much, not only as her younger brother but as a person overall. He was something more than that.

This wasn't simply nitpicking or playful arguing between siblings. Her feelings of hate and rude behavior towards him exhibited a level of significance beyond mere disagreement.

" What did I even do wrong?" Taehyung muttered, sighing as he looked over at his husband who had messy hair, lightly snoring while sleeping.

" Cutie " Taehyung sighed as he kissed him on the forehead and got out of bed. He needed to clear his head. Overthinking while staying in bed is never going to help him out at the moment.

He put on his robe as he made his way out of the bedroom, walking into the dark living room and sat down. As he just sat there quietly in the dark, he turned on the lamp, reaching over to grab a picture from off the coffee table.

" What a time...what a time " Taehyung mumbled to himself as he looked down at the picture in his lap, seeing a picture of him, Gaeul, his mom and his beloved father taking a picture at DisneyLand.

A nice person took a picture for them. Mrs. Kim was kissing her husband's cheek while Taehyung was on Gaeul's back. Giant smiles on their faces.

Taehyung and Gaeul would always have disagreements but he just truly wanted that relationship back with his older sister.

a soft sound of footsteps came into the living room.

" Mom?" Taehyung asked, seeing his mom in her robe as she walked to him, rubbing her eyes and wondering why the hell her son was not in bed right now.

"What's happened Tae? Why aren't you in bed with Jungkook?" " his mom asked, looking concerned as to why he was not in bed at the moment.

He sighed as he made way for her to sit down.

" It's Gaeul, it's always her " Taehyung sighed while looking over at his mom who frowned.

"Gaeul is always so rude and disrespectful towards me, even when I try to be nice to her. You saw how she spat in my face yesterday. Day by day, it's like she fucking hates me mom" Taehyung said, his eyes brimming with tears, he didn't normally cry about this but it was purely tiring.

It was tiring trying to be nice to her. It was getting exhausting because it always happened everytime that they saw each other. Taehyung tried his best to be so civil while Gaeul didn't even try to be polite. They both were adults, arguing was just childish.

arguing seemed immature.

Mrs. Kim's expression turned soft as she listened to her son's words. Knowing that he tried hard to be nice and gentle with his older back then and now. "  That was really unacceptable of her Taehyung. No one should treat their family like that and I got on to her about that. I'm really sorry about that sweetheart " Mrs. Kim grabbed his hand and kissed it.

She didn't appreciate Gaeul's rudeness to her own brother. She wanted them to get along but her daughter had this attitude problem towards Taehyung for a very mysterious reason.

Taehyung nodded, feeling relieved that his mom was taking his concerns seriously. "I don't know what to do. I've tried talking to her, but she won't listen. She just gets more and more angry with me," he admitted.

Mrs. Kim put her arm around Taehyung's shoulder and pulled him close. "I wish I had an easy answer for you, Taehyung. I don't know why she is acting this way towards you " She said while kissing his forehead and rubbing his shoulders l.

" Maybe this has something to do with your fathers passing, it might take some time for Gaeul to work through her emotions. Losing your father was hard on all of us, but I know that it has been especially difficult for Gaeul. '' Mrs. Kim tried to explain, trying to find a reason on why Gaeul was so rude.

She was her father's babygirl and his passing was hard on them. Maybe that was her way of coping but even so, she was only rude and disrespectful to Taehyung. Never to her mother, cousins or aunts.

It was only Taehyung.

"But why does she take it out on me?" Taehyung asked, frustration evident in his voice. She only took her anger out on him and not anyone else. Now, he wasn't saying that Gaeul should start hating on the rest of her family but it wasn't exactly fair to only be so disrespectful and hostile only to him.

"I don't know, Taehyung. But what I do know is that you can't keep letting her treat you like this. You don't deserve it," Mrs. Kim said firmly, understanding why his only son was so frustrated.

Gaeul was never rude to her, or even raised her voice. The only time Gaeul showed rudeness was only when Taehyung would come over. She didn't want to believe her own daughter could be so belligerent.

" Come on sweetie, lay your head on my lap " Mrs. Kim patted her lap. Taehyung felt his heart swell as he nodded, resting his head on her legs just like she used to be when he was a little kid.

" I will try my best to speak to Gaeul about her rude behavior. The one thing you got from your father, you've got his strong will of respect. I know that you won't go where you are disrespected so I will speak to her immediately, " she stated.

Taehyung nodded his head and closed his eyes

" I love you mom, I'm really glad we were able to meet. I love you more than anything " Taehyung said as he felt his mom run her fingers through this hair, patting it gently and softly.

" I love you more my precious boy, I see your dad when I see you. You looked just like him, It makes me whole once again " Mrs. Kim's heart filled laugh echoed the living room.

Taehyung would agree that nothing warms his heart more than to feel his mom's motherly touch.
