Chapter 5: Reunion

"Uwahhhh". Taehyung yawns while stretching his arm.

"Brrrr... So cold. What time is it? I need to go back. They must be worried sick. I should talk with them properly. They must have a reason. Hmm... Yeah. Let's do that". Taehyung stand up and pat his body to remove the grass that sticks to him.

He slowly walks home. He slowly enters the house while rubbing his shoulder as he feels really cold. 'Who ask you to sleep outside? Serve you right, Kim Taehyung'.

"ACHOOO!!! Oh gosh. I'm going to get really sick". Taehyung go straight to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate to warm up his cold body. He makes quite some noise while he's at it. The noises make his parents awake. Taehyung does not realize that his mom and dad are asleep in the living room.

"Taehyung? Is that you?" Taehyung's mom call his son.

"Aaaarrgghh!! Ye-Yes mommy?". Taehyung was so shock to the point that he shout and make a mess at the kitchen. Fortunately he does not spill any hot water on his pretty hands.

"Oh my. Taehyung dear. What are you doing?" Taehyung's mom asks worriedly when she hears her son screaming.

"Darling!! What happen?" Taehyung's dad shout ask his wife while he's rubbing his eyes. He slowly walk to his wife to see what exactly is happening.

"No. Nothing happen. It's just our son has come home and sneak around like a rat. Not ordinary rat. It's just some big red rat." The dad lifts his left eyebrow as he saw his wife crossing his arm while leaning against the kitchen's pantry.

"What did you mean by big red rat? I don't think we have that thing in our house. Besides, does the red rat exist in the first place?" Taehyung's mom could only sigh hearing her husband's questions.

'Like father like son', she whispered in her heart.

"Just come and look by yourself". The dad walk towards his wife and take a peek what that beautiful wife of his have discovered.

"Taehyung? What are doing? Oh gosh.. Your face looks like on fire. Come quick. Have a seat". His dad worried looking at his son red face. "Hey! You're burning hot right now. Let me treat you first".

If anyone watches the scene where Taehyung being heal by his dad, they would probably witness one of the beautiful things in the world. The blue crystal light swirled together with the pinkish color wrapping around Taehyung's head and his body. The lights look just like it's dancing sweetly along with the humming of his dad.

Taehyung's red faces have faded slowly along with the light that surrounds him. Crystal blue and pinkish light color turns to purple light after Taehyung's body temperature becomes normal.

"Thanks daddy." Taehyung gives his box smile to his dad. "I'm sorry for what happen before but I really want to go there. Mommy. Daddy. Can't you give me a chance? and-and-and can you tell me? Why you are so mad back then? Who is that Kim Min-Sik guy?"

As Taehyung apologize and pleaded his parents, the both of his parents look at each other. "Okay, look. Firstly, I'll tell you about that guy's identity." Taehyung's dad takes a deep breath before continuing his talk. "Well, that Kim Min-Sik is actually my father. It means that he is your grandfather".

"What? Seriously? But why you didn't want to receive any help from him? He's not a stranger. So, it's not wrong right?"

"Well, that is the second thing that I want to tell you".

"Hmm.. Okay then. Go on".

"Okay. The thing is my father doesn't like your mommy. You can say that he despised her. It's not just that. He insults your mommy to the point that your mommy wants to leave me. She doesn't want me to not have parents just like her. She wants me to be happy but I can't just leave her like that. Your mommy gives me a sense of happy life. It's quite a long story but in short, you can say that my family is not some kind of ordinary one".

"What did you mean not ordinary?" Taehyung feel so confused about his dad's statement.

"Hmm... I really don't want you to involve in this matter. BUT. For your information, I don't want you to experience it. It's enough that you have faced that kind of incident when you were a little kid. Okay?"

"Hmm.. Okay daddy. I understand. Umm.. So mommy? Did you happy now? and-and.. Can I ask both of you about another thing?"

"Yes. I'm happy dear but I do hope your grandfather give his blessing to both of us. What is it dear?" Taehyung's mom finally opens her mouth to talk after a long silence.

"Can I meet him?"

"Meet who? Your grandfather? Why?"

"Yeah. I want to ask him about it. You know maybe. Maybe he has repent? Who knows? Who is it doesn't love their own precious children. Am I right?"

Both of his parents look at each other's and look straights at their son eyes. "What?" Taehyung asked them after looking at his parent's weird behavior. "You guys never visit him? He must be really old and lonely. I know what he did was wrong but can't you guys give him a chance? After all, he tries to help us right?"

"Maybe you're right. So, how about we visit him tomorrow?" Taehyung's mom accepts her son ideas and asks her husband about it. "Don't worry. I don't mind it at all. It's a long time ago". Taehyung's mom gives her husband a sweet smile.

"Okay. Okay. We'll visit him tomorrow. Okay?" Taehyung's dad has lost as these two people both want to go. 2 versus 1. Of course 2 people win. Taehyung's dad could only sigh in his heart. 'Hope everything going to be alright. It's our first reunion after a long time'. He whispered in his heart. His son and wife do not know how anxious his heart is.
