Chapter eighteen; Confrontation

                                    

                                          
Taehyun was just six. 
A six-year-old child who didn't know how to count up to 100. He didn't know the meaning of 'Disown' until his bullies from middle school told him, 
One day, after a tiring day in school, he got on the bus and came home, only to hear faint sobbing from his mother, 
Little Taehyun peeked through the gap between the door, where he saw his mom and dad, and they looked frustrated af. 
"What do you fucking want me to do?! We had money but why the fuck did you use them without letting me know?!!" Taehyun's mom asks his husband, smacking his chest, and Taehyun's dad sighs. 
"I don't know, we will die if we keep going... I don't know what to do—" 
"How are we gonna feed Taehyun?! Hm?! Will we let him starve to death?! We can sell our house but where would we go?!" She asks. 
Taehyun was wealthy, had a big house, good facilities, and all. 
But apparently, His dad used all their money savings to cover a loan he took from some gangsters a long time ago. 
"Baby... What if we..." 
"What if we, what? Kill the little child so he won't starve to death?! I can't feed him and as a mother it's hard!! We made a child and we can't afford to take care of him—" 
"I have a solution. Don't worry honey..." Little Taehyun furrowed, but he saw his dad walking to the door and he hid behind the door, then pretending that he had just come.
"Taehyunnie? Did you have fun in school?" His dad asks, 
"Yes, dad. So much fun!!" Taehyun smiles and his father pats his back. 
Later that night... 
Taehyun was again curious about what happened inside their room, he was peeking through the gaps after they had dinner, 
"Did you find a solution?" 
"Here..." Taehyun's dad hands some papers to his wife and Taehyun's mom reads through them. 
"Disown Taehyun? How... How would it make a difference?" 
"The boy will have a great life, he won't have to bear the pain. Plus, it's easier if our money is spent for the two of us—" 
"But he is our kid!!" 
"Do you have any other choices?!" 
"But he is..." 
"Listen, that's the only way. Do you have any more ideas?" He asks again, 
"Yes. Send him to an orphanage, don't... Don't disown the poor boy..." Taehyun's mom says,
"Hey—" 
"I fucking kept that kid in my belly for 9 months, just for you to make him an orphan?!—" 
Taehyun flinched and ran upstairs, he remembered how his bullies in school told something to him about disown. 
'Do you know what that is? Your parents want you to get out of their lives... Make you an orphan' They said, 
He started to breathe heavily, his small fists clenching and tears started to stream down. 
He didn't even dream of sumn like this! 
Disown?? 
He is just a fucking kid! 
Taehyun gulps, sees his hands shivering, and tries to keep his sobs low
