Hidden Desire...(Taekook) Abandoned

_INT. TAEHYUNG'S CHILDHOOD HOME - DAY_

Eight-year-old Taehyung clings to his mother's leg, tears streaming down his face as she tries to pry him off.

small taehyung

(desperate) Please, Mom! Don't leave us! Who will take care of us?

His mother's expression is cold, her eyes devoid of warmth.

tae's mother

(detached) Your uncle will come for you. He'll take care of you and your sister.

Taehyung's grip tightens, his small body shaking with fear.

small taehyung

(pleading) But why are you leaving? What did we do wrong?

His mother's voice rises, her patience wearing thin.

tae's mother

(angrily) I didn't leave because of you or your sister!

tae's mother

I left because I deserve better than this miserable life!

With a final tug, she breaks free from Taehyung's grasp and turns to leave.

Taehyung collapses to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably as his mother walks out the door.

His five-year-old sister, Jennie, wails in the corner, frightened by the scene unfolding before her.

Taehyung forces himself to stand, wiping his tears with a shaking hand.

small taehyung

(resolute) I'll take care of you, Jennie. I won't let anyone hurt you.

Jennie runs to Taehyung, embracing him tightly.

small Jennie

(terrified) Hyung, don't leave me! Please!

Taehyung holds her close, trying to comfort her.

small taehyung

(soothingly) I won't leave you, Jennie. I promise.

small taehyung

We'll face everything together.

As the reality of their situation sets in, Taehyung's determination grows.

He will do whatever it takes to protect Jennie and rise above their desperate circumstances.

Taehyung tries to calm Jennie down, but she continues to sob uncontrollably.

He looks around the empty room, feeling a sense of desperation creeping in.

small taehyung

(determined) We need to get out of here, Jennie. We can't stay here alone.
