Summary: It truly was a long day. The future seems dark to me. I have no idea how am I going to continue keeping the death of his mother from him, but come whatever, we would get pass it. Because from now on, I would be with Sungmin. No matter what. Because we have each other, we can overcome everything.
Warning: Character death.
"Why are you crying?" I heard someone asking me. With my damp eyes that threatened to close anytime due to lack of sleep, I looked towards the voice and saw a boy. He didn't look my age, probably a few years older than me. He let out a barely audible sigh and repeated his question since I gave no answer the previous time. "I'm lost." I whispered. I observed him as his pretty face frowned, "who was here with you before you got lost?" He said as he placed both hands on my shoulder. "My mother." He took a deep breath before asking for my name. I tilted my head a little to the left before telling him my name, "Sungmin." He gave a gentle smile before taking my small hand in his slightly bigger one. "Now then, little Sungmin, let's go look for your mother together." I gave a grateful nod and followed him.
*~*~*~*~*With his big round eyes, he looked at me and gave a nod. It was just then that we heard a loud crash. It was so loud that it's quite impossible for anyone to not hear it. Since we were still quite far from the accident site, I decided that I should bring Sungmin away. Mainly because he is still young and I didn't want him to have a trauma because of it. "Let's go grab some ice-cream before starting our adventure, shall we?" I would admit, I'm definitely not the type that is good with kids but I was relatively well when it came to Sungmin. "What flavor do you want, little Sungmin?" I asked as we were soon approaching the ice-cream parlor. With glittery eyes, he answered "Strawberry." I gave a smile and asked him to sit down while I get the ice-cream. I walked back to Sungmin holding two ice-cream cones. One strawberry and one cookies N' cream. He happily took his ice-cream from me and started licking away. I smiled at how adorable he is and started eating my ice-cream too.
"Ah ah. Attention everyone. We are currently looking for Lee Sungmin. He is a 7-year-old boy wearing a pink top and jeans. If anyone had seen this boy, please bring him to the customer service counter. Thank you." After hearing the broadcast, we both blinked at each other. "Come-on. I might know where your mother is." He excitedly smiled and slipped his small hand into mine. It didn't take me long enough before I found the customer service counter. "Hi, may I know where is the mother of Lee Sungmin? You guys were looking for him and he was separated from his mother few moments ago when I found him." the lady gave a sad smile and told me, "you have probably heard the loud crash just now. The mother of Sungmin-sshi had passed away on the spot." I started blankly at the lady as she told me the news. "Did she say anything before she passed on? Anything about Sungmin?" The lady shook her head and handed me a bag sealed tightly in a zip-lock bag. "This is her belongings. And, the police told us that if he isn't taken care of, he would be brought to an orphanage." I gave a nod and a small bow to the lady and took the bag. "Little sungmin, let's go home shall we?" He looked at me with confused eyes. How can I ever break this new to him? I sighed. "I was told to bring you home, so let's go." I forced a smile. Following the ID card that was in Sungmin's mother's wallet, I brought him home. It wasn't hard to look for their house but I was certainly surprised. they lived in a big house with pretty decorations everywhere. "Is mommy home yet?" Sungmin's words broke my train of thoughts but before I could answer him, he took of looking for his mother in the house. I let out yet another sigh and followed him.
I sat him down on the bed and hugged him tightly. I knew clearly that he was panicking because his mother is not home and he is afraid. However, there is nothing I can do. I was shocked when the front door suddenly opened and revealed a guy. He was dressed in a suit but his right hand was holding onto a beer bottle. I frowned at that man as he charged forward real quick towards us. “Who are you?” He demanded. “I believe you are Sungmin’s father?” He frowned. “Are you his teacher? Did he misbehave in school?” He was asking a lot of questions and he didn’t allow me to answer them, he just walked past me. Towards Sungmin. He grabbed sungmin by the collar and screamed in his face. “WHAT DID YOU DO IN SCHOOL? DID YOU MISBEHAVE? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO DISGRACE ME?!” He then slapped Sungmin. Real hard. My eyes widen at the scene and I rushed to Sungmin. I glared that that old man and hugged Sungmin who was crying. “This is domestic violence, sir.” I said in a very low voice. “So what? I am his father. I have all the rights in the world, even to kill him.” I was utterly shocked at what he just said. So Sungmin had been going through such a life for years? My heart ached at the thought. I instantly took my phone out and called the police. I know it’s really unfair to Sungmin who doesn’t know anything but I didn’t want him to suffer anymore, under that unreasonable man. The police came and took that man away and charged him with domestic violence. “I’m sorry Sungmin.” I went to his room and lead him out. Before the police came, I asked sungmin to to go his room while I told the police everything that I’ve just witnessed. “Don’t be.” He said in a soft voice. “where’s mommy?” He asked after a short pause. “She went to somewhere far far away. You might see her in your dreams so, you should get to bed now.” Sungmin gave a nod and allowed me to tuck him in bed. “You know, I still don’t know your name.” Sungmin said softly as I was about to leave his room. “Kyuhyun. Cho Kyuhyun. Now sleep, it has been a long day.” He gave another nod and drifted off to sleep.
It truly was a long day. The future seems dark to me. I have no idea how am I going to continue keeping the death of his mother from him, but come whatever, we would get pass it. Because from now on, I would be with Sungmin. No matter what. Because we have each other, we can overcome everything.
