"Dear mother,

It has stopped raining after days here in Edgewater mother, I and Yeonjun were thrilled beyond measures this morning to have had a moment to ride our horses through the edges of the town; one which I must say wasn't due to any buisness purposes. I'm going to be turning 19 this December, and it saddens me how its been 7 years that I haven't had a chance to creep into your embrace. Father has done his very best to keep me busy, and also himself yet... I see how he misses you dearly still. I am trying my best to cooperate with countess Madilyn, as I had promised to you. She doesnt fancy me much but... I'm sure someday we'll be on a better page. As for Yeonjun, he's been the best brother I could have ever asked for. Please keep looking over me and mending me mommy, I shall-" He froze, hearing footsteps nearing his bedroom door as he quickly closed his diary and hid it under a dozen more piles of books.

The door opened with a slight creek as his father entered, gently smiling at him.

"Father.." The boys stood up and bowed to the elder mumbling a low "good evening"

"How was your ride with the horses and your little brother this morning son? Was it pleasant?" The man asked.

"It was very lovely, thank you for allowing him and I to stroll around, it had been awhile and I can say we thoroughly enjoyed it."

"Then I guess it was a brilliant idea..come sit beside me Taehyung." The older said patting the mattress that he sat on a few seconds earlier.

Taehyung obeyed and walked towards the bed and sat beside his father... embracing the silence for a few moments, it was rather peaceful but there was a hint of struggle that one of them had, Taehyung had a lump of words clustered together at the back of his throat, he gulped a large chunk of saliva down his oesophagus as the other coughed to break the ice.

"May I ask what my son might be struggling to utter?"

"I- AHM" Taehyung was about to say what resided in his heart but he wondered if he might anger his father, his mind chanting,"its now or never, now or never!" As if though it was some mantra.

"I was wondering, if you would allow...me to.." He hesitated..

"Go on." His father said now looking straight towards him.

"I'm sorry father, but I wish to visit my mother...it's her birthday tomorrow, and I'd like to gift her, her favourite flowers." The man stood up after hearing this followed by a heavily anticipating Taehyung.

2 to 3 seconds passed by and his father replied gently,"You may....have the day for yourself tomorrow and....yes, yes certainly visit you're mother..."

"Th-thank you! Thank you very much!" Taehyung said as he hugged his father but stepped back soon and cleared his throat. His father giggled at the boy's behaviour and walked towards the door, and just as he was about to leave he took a few steps back again and whispered gently.

"Do bring another bouquet of pink lilies and a couple of daisies to her too, they were one of her most favourites...those shall be from my side, and...keep it between us..the countess must not hear about this." And with that he left.

Taehyung sighed as a small smile curved at the edges of his plump rose tinted lips as he looked up to the ceiling of his room and then closed his eyes. "Didn't I tell you mother, he loves you still.."
