Third person's pov

Jungkook didn't hugged hye-joon back,
His heart wanted to comfort her but his brain didn't gave him the permission,

After sometime he pulled himself away from Hye-joon and said, " Let's go to the police station. "

Without waiting for a response, Jungkook went to the car and Hye-joon wiped her tears and followed him.

The car ride was silent.

At the police station, Jungkook and Hye-joon were seated in the waiting area. Jungkook filled out the necessary paperwork while Hye-joon sat quietly, wiping her tears occasionally. After a while, an officer called them in to provide a statement.

"Please tell us what happened." The officer said glancing over to Jungkook and Hye-joon.

Jungkook recounted the incident, detailing how he found Taesoo stalked and harassed Hye-joon. He also provided a description of Taesoo.

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr. Kim. We'll investigate the matter and take appropriate action. In the meantime, we advise you and your daughter to be cautious and report any further incidents immediately." The officer replied with a simple smile.

Jungkook nodded in acknowledgment, his expression still stern. Hye-joon remained silent, her eyes fixed on the floor.

"Do you have any evidence or witnesses?" The officer asked.

Jungkook handed over Hye-joon's phone, showing the messages and missed calls from Taesoo, along with any other relevant information. Hye-joon remained quiet throughout the process, occasionally sniffling.

"Thank you for your cooperation. We'll do our best to resolve this matter. You can expect an update from us soon." The officer replied in a gentle tone and Jungkook bowed a little in response.

Soon they left the police station,

In the car, Jungkook glanced at Hye-joon and sighed heavily. "It's better if we don't tell your dad and brother about it," he said. "You know how they are......I don't have the energy to deal with more things."

Hye-joon nodded, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She sniffled and wiped her tears with the back of her hand as Jungkook started driving back home.

Hye-joon kept trying to speak, her voice shaky with emotion. "E-Eomma, I'm sorry," she said, her words barely audible over the hum of the engine.

Jungkook remained silent, his grip tight on the steering wheel as he focused on the road ahead. He couldn't bring himself to respond to Hye-joon's apologies, his mind consumed with frustration and worry.

As they neared home, Hye-joon made another attempt to communicate. "Eomma, please," she pleaded, reaching out to touch Jungkook's arm. "Can we talk about this?"

Jungkook's jaw tensed, but he didn't look at her. "I don't want to talk, Hye-joon," he replied tersely. "Just stay quiet for now."

Hye-joon withdrew her hand and leaned back in her seat, staring out of the window as tears continued to stream down her cheeks.

After 15 minutes......

As Jungkook parked the car near the house, he got out and walked inside with heavy steps. His mind was still reeling from the encounter and he felt drained both emotionally and physically.

Hye-joon followed behind him, her eyes puffy from crying, but she tried to compose herself before entering the house.

In the living room, Taemin and Taehyung were sitting, they had been waiting for Hye-joon and Jungkook for about 1 hour now and as they entered, Taehyung let out a sigh of relief.

Taehyung spoke up, his voice tinged with concern. "Where did you both go?" he asked, looking between Jungkook and Hye-joon.

Jungkook didn't reply and he walked past Taehyung and headed straight for their room. Hye-joon followed suit, her gaze downcast as she hurried to her own room without uttering a word.

Taehyung exchanged a puzzled glance with Taemin, who shrugged in response. "Did they have a fight?" Taehyung wondered aloud,

Taemin shook his head, his expression troubled. "I don't know," he replied.

After a few minutes, Taehyung suggested, "Taemin, go and talk to your noona and I'll talk to Jungkook." Taemin nodded in agreement, and while Taehyung headed to their bedroom, Taemin made his way to Hye-joon's bedroom.

In Hye-joon's room, she was in the midst of taking off her earrings when Taemin entered. "Noona, did Eomma and you have a fight?" Taemin inquired, noticing her somber expression.

Hye-joon shook her head and replied softly, "No, Taemin, we didn't. Now, please, I need some rest." With that, she lay down on the bed and closing her eyes.

Taemin, however, was persistent. He jumped onto the bed and embraced Hye-joon, pressing further, "Noona, are you hiding something from your brother?"

Exasperated, Hye-joon sighed deeply and reached for her slipper, tossing it at Taemin. "Didn't I tell you to get out?" she shouted loudly,

Taemin stood up and replied, "I'm going out, no need for this." With a final glance at Hye-joon, he left the room,

In Jungkook's and Taehyung's room, Taehyung entered and saw Jungkook sitting on the bed while using his phone.

He asked, "Kook, is everything alright?" Jungkook responded with a simple "hmm" without looking up. Taehyung approached him, sensing something was off. "Are you angry?" he inquired gently.

Jungkook finally looked up, his expression hardened. "Why?" he retorted. Taehyung furrowed his brows, concern evident in his voice. "You don't usually reply like that."

Jungkook's tone turned sarcastic. "Oh, did you feel bad?" he snapped back. Taehyung's comfusion grew. "Jungkook, what's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked with confusion.

But Jungkook's frustration boiled over.  " If I talk coldly for once, you feel bad, right? What about me? You always do this, and I feel bad. You never care about me!" he said, his words sharp with emotion.

Taehyung was taken aback, before he could respond, Jungkook's voice cut through the tension, "Get out!" Jungkook shouted,

Taehyung hesitated for a moment but Jungkook shouted again so he had to leave the room,

Jungkook's mood swings were becoming more frequent, a side effect of the medications he was taking.

In the living room.........

In the living room, Taehyung and Taemin exchanged concerned glances. Taehyung broke the silence, "They definitely had a fight."

Taemin nodded vigorously, "Noona also hit me," Taemin blurted out. Taehyung's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "She hit you?" he exclaimed, trying to hide his amusement.

Taemin pouted and nodded, "With a slipper!" Taehyung couldn't help chuckle, pulling Taemin into a tight hug. " It's okay. "

After 2 hours.........

As dinner time approached, there was still no sign of either Hye-joon or Jungkook emerging from their rooms. Taemin's stomach grumbled loudly, breaking the tense silence in the house.

"Appa, noona didn't cook dinner. I'm hungry," he said, looking up at Taehyung with pleading eyes.

Taehyung sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Yah, you're still worried about your hunger? Both of them haven't come out of their rooms ever since we got back. I'm worried," he admitted,

"But appa, I'm really hungry," Taemin insisted, his stomach protesting loudly once again. Taehyung gently smacked the back of his head, "Alright, alright. Let's see what we can do,"

"Should I ask noona to cook?" Taemin suggested hopefully,

Taehyung shook his head, "No, let's not disturb them. Do we have ramen?" he asked, turning to Taemin. Taemin nodded eagerly,

"Okay then, let's cook some ramen," Taehyung said, together, they headed to the kitchen,

Taehyung's mind was still filled with Jungkook's earlier words.

In the kitchen, Taemin eagerly filled a pot with water while Taehyung rummaged through the pantry, searching for the instant ramen packets.

Soon Taehyung found them and started to cook them.

Finally, the ramen was ready, its savory aroma filling the kitchen. Taehyung transferred the ramen to a big bowl.

Then Taehyung turned to Taemin and said, " Go and call Hye-joon and Jungkook. "

Taemin nodded and went.

First he knocked on Hye-joon's door and said, 'Noona, the dinner is ready.' Hye-joon replied, 'I am coming.' Taemin then made his way to Jungkook's room.

Taemin opened the door and saw Jungkook laying on the bed,

He jumped onto the bed and exclaimed, 'Eomma, the dinner is ready!' Jungkook gently pulled himself away from Taemin and said, 'I am not hungry, you can go.' Taemin persisted, 'Eomma, just a little bit?'

But Jungkook sighed and said, 'Taemin, I am telling you to go.' Taemin stood up and said,

"But me and appa worked really hard on it-" Before he could finish his sentence, Jungkook stood up from the bed and started shouting.

His voice was filled with anger and hurt as he yelled, "DO YOU THINK I DID NOT WORK HARD WHEN YOU REJECTED MY MEALS AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT? DO YOU THINK I DO NOT PUT ANY EFFORT INTO IT?"  Taemin was taken aback by the sudden outburst and stuttered, 'Eomma, I didn't mean it in that way.'

The shouting could be heard from outside and Taehyung quickly went to see what the commotion was about. Hye-joon followed closely behind him. Taehyung asked in a concerned tone, 'Jungkook, what's wrong?'

Jungkook continued to yell, 'NOTHING IS WRONG! YOU GUYS IGNORE ME, YOU DON'T APPRECIATE ANY OF MY EFFORTS. NOTHING IS WRONG, RIGHT? TELL ME, NOTHING IS WRONG, RIGHT?' His breathing became heavy as he tried to contain his emotions.

"Jungkook, calm down. What are you talking about?"

But Jungkook kept on shouting, 'YOU ALWAYS IGNORE ME, YOU NEVER LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! EVERYONE TREATS ME LIKE I AM INVISIBLE, LIKE I DON'T MATTER!' Hye-joon and Taemin exchanged worried glances, not sure what to do in this situation.

Taegyung took a step towards Jungkook and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down.

But Jungkook shrugged it off and yelled, 'DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T YOU DARE ACT LIKE YOU CARE NOW, WHEN YOU DIDN'T BEFORE!' His voice was filled with sadness and pain.

Taehyung's eyes widened and he replied, "Jungkook, what are you talking about? Of course, I care."

But Jungkook continued to pour his heart out, 'YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME, YOU ALWAYS DECIDE EVERYTHING WITHOUT EVEN ASKING FOR MY OPINION. AND TAEMIN AND HYE-JOON, THEY ALWAYS SAY I AM A BAD MOTHER. DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT HURTS?' Tears were now streaming down his face, and all the pent-up emotions were coming out.
