Chapter 14: Longing

"No matter where you go you will always be in my heart."
~Anthony T. Hincks~

"H-hello? C-can I stay here for a while Mrs.?" A young boy questioned the woman that opened the door for him.

The woman's heart ached seeing the young boy's state. It is raining heavily and the young boy is drenched from head to toe. He is also shivering like a leaf.

The woman smiled kindly before opening the door widely, giving the boy enough space to enter the woman's household.

"Ofcourse, Kookie. You are welcome here anytime you want." The woman smiled and led the young boy inside her humble home.

Inside the house, Jungkook felt more safe. He is still shivering from getting drenched by the heavy rain but atleast he's now inside a shelter. A cozy warm home to be exact.

"I will tell my son to lend you some of his clothes. Shower now or you'll get sick. The bathroom is located at the end of that corridor. It's the gray door on the left." The woman stated and Jungkook immediately thanked her.

"Thank you for letting me stay again, Mrs. Bang." Jungkook muttered timidly and the woman sighed before pinching the young boy's cheek.

"Go now Kookie. I'm going to introduce you to someone after you finished showering." The woman smiled and Jungkook nodded before running to the bathroom.

Across the door to the bathroom is another gray door. Jungkook, who got confused where is the right door to the bathroom, opened the door he suspected to be his destination.

He took a quick peak inside to see if he went to the right door and accidentally knocked over something that's leaning on the doorway.

"Sofia! No!" A high pitched voice screamed and then a loud crash is heard.

Jungkook, without wasting a second dashed to the other door locking it, making sure that whoever is behind the door he accidentally opened, did not caught him entering the bathroom.

A loud cry echoing throughout the walls make him more terrified than he already is.

"Mom! Dad! My Sofia broke!" The person he didn't even get a glimpse of cried out.

Jungkook heard foosteps rushing towards the direction and that's when he tiptoed away from the bathroom door and to the shower.

Jungkook went out of the bathroom wearing fresh clothes from Mrs. Bang's son. He carefully walked towards the living room where he found Mrs. Bang talking to a sulking girl.

The girl, upon the young boy's sudden appearance, frowned seeing someone unfamiliar inside their family's household. She slightly tug on her mother's shirt and pointed at the young boy.

"Ma, woo ish he?" The little girl asked with her baby voice.

Her mother, Mrs. Bang, then looked towards the area her little girl is pointing and saw the young boy she invited in earlier.

"Kookie!" Mrs. Bang called. "Come here and meet my baby."

Jungkook hesitantly walked towards the duo, thinking that the girl must be the one who cried earlier when he opened the door across the bathroom.

He stood right infront of the girl and immediately noticed their height difference. She is very small compared to him. She also looks a few years younger than him.

"Kookie meet Y/N." Mrs. Bang cooed at the young boy. "She's the baby you've been waiting to see since you're three. Now, she's a healthy little child like you!" Mrs. Bang squealed happily.

Jungkook acknowledged the little girl by smiling shyly at her but the girl didn't quit staring at him. Her eyes are looking up at him and he could see that her eyes sparkle beautifully.

The girl then grinned and looked towards her mother. "Mama! He's pretty!"

Mrs. Bang couldn't help but giggle at her baby's choice of words. She then took her baby girl and prompted her on her lap.

"He's a handsome young boy, right Y/N?" Mrs. Bang queried and the girl nodded repeatedly.

"Handsome!" The little girl praised and Jungkook giggled, thinking that she's cute.

They shared the hearty laughter until the little girl spoke again making Mrs. Bang and Jungkook overwhelmed this time.

"Hey handsome! Can I kiss you?"

"Jungkook? Why are you here?" An elderly woman asked as soon as she opened the door of her house.

"M-mom." Jungkook stuttered out before engulfing the middle aged woman into a tight hug.

The woman returned the hug even though she is confused. She then noticed that her son is shivering and is having difficulty in breathing.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" The middle aged woman asked.

"Mom, w-what should I do? I am losing myself without her. I can't lose her." Jungkook sobbed on his mother's embrace.

Jungkook's mother brought him inside her small residence and led him to the living room. She then brought him a glass of water to which he drank in one gulp.

"What happened?" Jungkook's mother asked and Jungkook let out a long breath shaking his head.

"Y/N." He muttered lifelessly.

The mentioned name piqued the curiousity of Jungkook's mother.
"What happened to your girlfriend?"

Jungkook's tears fell at that. "Mom she can't swim. She drowned."

His mother's eyes widened and all she felt for her son is worry and symphaty. She cannot do anything about her son's situation. She always can't do anything even if she wanted to. It's like she's there for him but isn't really. She felt like she's a useless mother to her child.

"I love her mom and I don't want to lose her. She's the reason why I managed to get over my past. The woman who made me feel love in its most beautiful form." Jungkook cried out.

"Then fight for her. Don't give her up." The woman adviced. "If she's missing, find her. If she's lost, guide her. If she's running away, follow her. Make sure that she'll end up in the right finish line. That is you, my son." The woman stated  encouraging the young man infront of her.

"But..... What if she's gone? What if she left me and is never coming back?" Jungkook asked but he's not directing the question to anyone. "How could I find her when she is not missing? How could I guide her if she's not lost? How could I follow her when there is no path to follow?"

The woman sighed and held the young man's hands, squeezing it comfortingly. "I don't know son but I know one thing." She then brought the man's hand on his chest, right where his heartbeats could be felt and heard. "This. It will show you the way you need to follow. This thing will find a way to reunite with its other half."

"Thank you, Mom." Jungkook mumbled, wiping a few stray tears off of his face before standing up.

"Goodluck son. I hope you reunite with your love one once again." The woman smiled softly. "I may not experienced a love so beautiful and promising but I want you, my son, to have a happy ending."

Jungkook hugged his mother one last time before hurrying out of the house. He rode his car and started heading to somewhere.

"I won't lost you, sweetheart. I'll come for you wherever you are." He stated, determination lacing his every word. "But if you want me to wait for you to come back to me, I'll surely wait even if it takes a long time. Just remember that your lover is someone impatient." Jungkook chuckled halfheartedly.

"I love you, sweetheart. No matter what, always remember that."

A/N
Heyo guys! It's kinda short isn't it? Well this chapter shows something about Jungkook. I don't want to proceed to the things I prepared for the tale without reminding you that one of the boys is waiting for Y/N to come back. Also the memory of Jungkook and Y/N when they are still kids! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'd try to update next week again for y'all <33

Also! Please spread help for the people of the Philippines. They are in need of good samaritans after the devastating encounter with the typhoon Ulysses. Please help them in any way you could. You could donate things under Red Cross Philippines or any organization that is helping the people that got affected by the typhoon. Spreading the #RescuePH would also help!

Thank you and stay safe everyone!

Lovelots,
