porcelain doll, chapter 1

taehyung sat on his bed in a trance, staring blankly at his dead little sister's picture.

seeing his sister smile so brightly in that picture made the boy's lips tug upward, a bitter smile painted on his expressionless face.

jennie was too young to die, they had so much in common and grew inseparable.

but one car crash changed his life, taking his sister's life away from the surface of the earth, disappearing like a pinch of dust.

a knock on the door was heard and taehyung's mom entered, giving her son a smile of comfort.

"baby, come hug mom." the woman said to her eleven-year-old son, opening her arms wide before taehyung quickly launched himself at his mother, a crying mess in a matter of seconds.

mrs. kim held her tears, caressing her son's back in a soothing manner, whispering comfort words in her son's ear.

"it'll be okay, baby. jennie's in a better place now. let's be happy for her, okay?" she said, running her hands through her son's hair making taehyung yawn, his small hands gripping on his mother's thick white sweater.

"m-mom, can i sleep with you?" taehyung asks, his puffy eyes meeting his mother's sad ones.

mrs. kim smiled, nodding at her son's question, "of course, baby." she answered before hugging the boy and began singing a lullaby.

"i love you, mom." taehyung says before he closed his eyes, sleepiness spreading through his body as he shuts down in a complete slumber.

mrs. kim stared at his son's peaceful face, tracing her finger across her son's features.

"i'm sorry i couldn't protect jennie, taehyung." the woman uttered, tears started streaming down her cheeks but she quickly wipes those away, sniffing.

she then grabs her phone before dialing her brother's number, "but don't worry, baby. you won't be alone anymore." she said before putting the phone near her ear.

"yes, namjoon. the doll? yes, a few more tests? okay. will it be ready before tae's birthday? alright, thanks joonie. i owe you one."

she ended the call and started carrying her son to her bedroom.

placing her son on the white bed, she laid beside him, hugging taehyung's small figure close, holding her only child left.

"i love you, tae. i promise you, you won't be alone anymore. just a few more months, darling, you will be meeting lisa soon."
