Prologue

"Mom?" A petite boy wakes up by a light that peers from above his head. He forcefully opened his eyes, seeing a woman with a bun, smiling like a crescent moon. Jimin knows this woman well. It's his mom.

"Hi honey, we meet again," His mom said. She pulled Jimin up so she could stand properly in front of her. Jimin smiled through his tears. He missed his mom a lot.

"Mom? Is this you?" Jimin said while cupping his mother's cheeks. He couldn't believe he had a chance like this to see his mom. After all those painful years, tried to survive without his mom.

"Yes, honey. This is me. Your mom" his mom claimed and Jimin quickly engulfed her in his embraces.

"Oh mom, you don't know how much I miss you," Jimin said. He sobbed. His mother caresses his hair. Soothing him in her chest. She also misses him.

"Honey, I know how much you miss me, but you can't be here," His mother said, making him retreat from his mother hugs. He frowned.

"What do you mean? I'm finally meeting you here. Don't you miss me?" Jimin asked. Suddenly, feeling sad about the thought his mother didn't miss him.

"No son. I miss you very much. But you didn't belong here. Your journey is still long. Son, did you remember how you got here?" his mother asked. Jimin silent a little. Yes, she's right. He didn't remember how he got here? How tho?

"Go back son," her mother said. Jimin looked at his mother. He shook his head vigorously.

"NO!! I'm willing to stay with you here rather than come back to that cruel world!!" Jimin trembled. His mother cupped his cheeks.

"You don't know how I'm suffering alone there!! Without you by my side!!! It hurts to be there. I'm a lonely mom. I have no one beside you" Jimin looked at his mom. With teary eyes. His head suddenly felt dizzy. His vision getting hazy. He saw his mom smiled.

"Honey, I know. But once you go, the goods are waiting for you. Willingly to take care of you. All you have to do is, go. And I promise you'll find your happiness soon" his mother said while cupping his cheeks. Tears were already falling from the brim of her eyes.

"Are you sure?" Jimin looked at his mother innocently. She nodded. She leaned their foreheads together.

"Trust me, I'm your mother," She said. Feels heavy to watch her son walk away from her.

"I love you, Jimin-ahh" she whispered.

Suddenly, a light appeared out of nowhere. Blind Jimin's sight from his mother.

BEEP...BEEP...

Jimin gasped for air. His eyes are wide open.

"Doctor, he's awake!!!!!" he heard someone shouted. Soon, he heard footsteps run towards his room. Jimin remained still. He feels empty. Like he didn't remember anything. What happened? He still tried hard to remember. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

"Jimin-ssi, can you hear me?" Jimin looked at the doctor. Unbothered.

"Doc, how's my son?" Jimin averted his eyes towards the old man that was standing next to his bed. He looked at him curiously. As far as he remembers, he doesn't feel this man present in his life before. Urghhh, it's so messed up. He can't remember anything. Why? What happened to him?!?!

"He's condition may be unconscious. But he's gonna be okay" the doctor ensured the man.

"Urgghh" Jimin groaned. His voice feels hoarse and he swears that his throat is gonna rip off from his throat. The old man looked at him. He smiled at his son. He looked at the doctor as a sign for him to leave. The doctor understood and gave the two their privacy.

"How are you, son?" his father asked. Jimin didn't answer, instead, he pointed towards the jug water with his eyes. His father understands him and pours the water into the glass.

He pulled up his son's bed and put the pillow under his head to support his neck. He looked at his son fondly. Finally, his son woke up. He's afraid that he'll never wake up again. Meanwhile, Jimin was confused about what is happening to him? How he ended up here? Then, he looked at the man that was looking at him and stared at him curiously. As far as he remembers, he doesn't feel this man present in his life before. Urghhh, it's so messed up. He can't remember anything. Why?! What happened to him?!?!

"Who are you?" Jimin asked. He looked at him curiously. His so-called 'father' gulped.

"I'm your father, Jimin," his father said. Jimin frowned.

"What happened? Why didn't I remember anything?" Jimin asked. He feels overwhelmed because he feels lost. He feels numb. And he felt sick because he couldn't remember. His father caresses his hair, seeing his son stressing about this.

"Accident happened when you were on your way to your apartment. Your car collided with a truck. And your head was pressed against the car steering cause really strong damage. That's why you didn't remember anything" his father explained. Jimin tried hard to remember. But his stupid brain can't function at the moment make him mad.

"Son, don't stress about this. The doctor said it should go away soon, '' his father said. Soothe him with his fatherly voice. Jimin suddenly feels at ease. He doesn't know why, but he feels that he can trust this man.

"Do you perhaps remember your name?" Jimin shook his head off. No, he doesn't remember to the point he can't even know what is his name is.

"It's Lee Jimin," his father said.

Jimin looks at the old man. Jimin knows this man is a middle-age man but his physical tell otherwise.

"If you are curious about my name, it's Lee Hwa" his father smiled.

"I will take care of you Jimin" his father said again.

A glint of fondness flash through this man eyes.

Finally, Jimin feels something.

Something that he can feel after so long.

Something that he can't describe. 

I hope you like it :)
