He started for the stairs and his mother was waiting patiently at the bottom. Her lip curled in disgust as she looked at him.
"Taehyung."
Her scolding tone drove him over the edge.
"I know you're not happy about this move but that doesn't give you the right to act the way you are. I have told you time and time again that you must have respect for your body. Father always said your body is a temple, and that if you disrespect it with trashy clothing that you are disrespecting God."
Taehyung didn't know how yoga pants were disrespectful to hinself but okay.
"I know mom." He cut her speech short. “I’m sorry.
He absolutely was not sorry, nor will he ever be. It was just easier to go with it than to fight her about it.
"Have some respect for yourself and go fix your hair and makeup. I need you to go out and run some errands for me but I can't have you looking like a mess." She sent him up the stairs once again. He was infuriated.
Taehyung pulled his blond curls back into a bandana and he traced his lips with a cherry lip balm. He then put on some foundation and some mascara. His mom insisted he wear makeup but she hated when he wore too much of it.
It was always too little or too much for her. It seemed like he could never please her.
When Taehyung came back down the stairs, he tried not to snatch the list out of her hands.
"You can use the change to get yourself something." She told him as she handed him the strange new currency he had to get used to, pounds.
"Be back by two, we are going to the three o'clock service." Mrs. Kim said as her son made a beeline for the door.
Taehyung shoved the money in his purse and he picked up an umbrella from the floor by the door.
"Son." She called for him once again.
"Yes." He tried not to sound as murderous as he felt inside.
"I love you." She gave him a hug and he stood stiffly in her arms.
"I know." Taehyung murmured.
He knew his parents loved him but they shielded him from everything. He just felt so restricted from life. It wasn't fair.
"Be safe." She kissed his forehead and sent him on his way.
He opened the umbrella and started his walk to the supermarket.
The scenery was nice, even in the drizzling weather.
The walk wasn't a long one and his mother's list wasn't exactly complicated. It was the simple stuff like eggs and margarine. It wouldn't be heavy to carry.
Taehyung decided to get himself a box of lucky charms with the change. He hadn't had it since he was little and his mom wasn't here to stop him.
The rain had stopped momentarily so he decided his umbrella wasn't necessary so he walked out of the store with it closed.
Suddenly, it started to to rain again.
