The Night Everything Broke
Author
Hi my dear lovely butterflies this is my new story.
Rain fell heavily that night.
Eight-year-old Taehyung stood near the window, waiting.
His small fingers were cold, but his eyes were hopeful.

“Mom will come soon.”

“Dad promised me.”
Suddenly, a loud horn cut through the rain.
Then came a crash that shook the street.
Taehyung ran outside barefoot.
People gathered around a crushed car.
Red and blue lights flashed everywhere.
A policeman knelt in front of Taehyung.

“Son… I’m very sorry.”
Taehyung shook his head again and again.

“They said they will come back.”
The funeral arrived too quickly.
People whispered behind him.

“So young to lose everything.”
Taehyung held his mother’s photo tightly.
Behind him, Kang Mi-sook and Kang Seung-ho watched silently.
Mi-sook
(low voice): “He is ours now.”
Seung-ho
“Yes… and everything he owns too.”
That night, Taehyung lay on the cold floor.
That night, Taehyung learned—
Some children grow up loved,
and some grow up with pain.
A House Without Warmth
The house felt strange and cold.
Taehyung stood quietly near the door.
His small bag rested beside him.
Kang Mi-sook looked at him with sharp eyes.
Mi-sook
“Don’t think this is your home.”
Kang Seung-ho crossed his arms.
Seung-ho
“We are feeding you. Remember that.”
Taehyung nodded silently.
Days passed without kindness.
Taehyung cleaned the floors and washed dishes.
His hands were red and shaking.
Mi-sook
“You are always slow.”
Taehyung nodded without looking up.
Mi-sook
“You eat too much.”
Taehyung skipped meals quietly.
At night, he hugged his knees.

“Mom used to feed me.”
One evening, Seung-ho grabbed his arm.
Seung-ho
“Your parents’ money is ours now.”
Taehyung did not understand money.
Mi-sook slammed the door.

“Crying won’t bring anyone back.”
Taehyung buried his face in his pillow.
That house was full of people.
But Taehyung felt completely alone.
And Taehyung learned to live without it.

Bruises That Could Not Be Seen
Taehyung woke before sunrise.
His body ached, but he said nothing.
Kang Seung-ho watched him closely.
Seung-ho
“You broke the glass yesterday.”
Taehyung lowered his head.
8yr tae
“I’m sorry, Uncle.”
The slap came without warning.
Taehyung fell to the floor.
Tears burned his eyes, but he stayed silent.
8yr tae
“I will be careful.”
Money was always discussed loudly.
Seung-ho
“Your parents left enough.”
At school, Taehyung smiled faintly.
At home, fear waited for him.
That night, his back hurt badly.
8yr tae
“Dad, does pain end?”
He pressed his mouth shut.
He did not want them to hear.
8yr tae
“Maybe they won’t hit me.”
Tears soaked the mat silently.
Inside, a child learned to endure.
He lay down without turning off the light.
Sleep did not come easily.
Pain stayed longer than dreams.
