The sun had just shone up. Welcoming a new day to the Kim's residence. A woman figure in her 60's woke up, leaving her husband behind and busied herself preparing breakfast.

*glass fell, breaking into pieces*

"Oh my..."
"Ma'am, what happen?" A young lady ask.
"Min Jung-ah, I-I feel shaken for a while a-and accidentally jog the glass."
"Please don't touch it. You might get a cut. Do have a break first ma'am. I'll finish this and I'll prepare the breakfast for you." She assured her with a smile.
"I'm sorry. For making you do this..."

The person behind her ain't answering. She hears silent cries and turn to see a broad man.
"Jongkook!" She hug him tight, missing her youngest. "My son, why are you weeping..." She didn't expect him to answer, she knows he needs more of a shoulder and comfort than a listener by that moment. "Omma..." She felt his hug a lot more tighter, demanding her protection and support. "Shhh... Just cry. I'm always here, my son." She felt his pain, frustrations and grief along his tears as it touches her skin.
