☆34. My Dear Pearl One☆
Jin looked around, wearing a baby pink knitted and fitted turtleneck with blue jeans, before he pushed the buzzer of a doorbell sticked beside a fancy wooden door. Jin heard the door being opened after a moment when he was looking
down and he glanced up to find Namjoon in his Champaign color robe and a straight face. "A-Attorney Kim" Jin stated while bowing and clutching his both hands’ fingers together without looking up at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you at this time of the night" Jin added in the speed of light and Namjoon's straight face broke into his dimple smirk.
"I'm not going to eat you if you will look up at me" Namjoon mentioned while crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm sorry, I am just nervous. People say horrible things about you" Jin commented while backing away as Namjoon stepped closer.
"Because I do them” Namjoon processed an assured laugh and Jin just looked up at him.
“Tell me, how can I help you?” Namjoon asked while caressing Jin's cheek with the back of his hand.
"W-We... I mean, Jimin... he had given some money, actually a lot of money to a nurse..."
“And now she is missing" Namjoon completed his sentence while playing with Jin's earring. "How did you know?"
"I haven't been harvesting potatoes in the field” Namjoon said rubbing the bottom of Jin's lips gently with his thumb, praisingly. And Jin just blinked his eyes uncomfortably.
"Well... I know you would make a lot for just tracking someone but I can't afford the fee you take. Iwant to help Jimin but couldn't think of anybody else except you" Jin started and Namjoon just snickered while rubbing Jin's shoulder blade down to his waist and Jin just kept blinking.
"Anything about that nurse?” Namjoon questioned.
"Her name is June and she used to work in the hospital near the street"
"The streetwalkers' street?"
"Yes, the Wacko street" Jin corrected him. "Besides that, we don't know anything about her"
"That's not enough for me. But no worries, I will send somebody to ask the hospital staff until they bleed” Namjoon laughed and Jin just looked up at him with a concerned frown. “I mean... it's not the first time Jimin has done something like that" Namjoon added while suppressing his evil laugh.
"He is just too young to make right decisions"
"So are you, I like young fascinating boys like you. How much was the money? I mean, I was thinking of giving it to Jimin and then took them back from that nurse so, in this way Jimin wouldn't have to wait" Namjoon suggested while placing his hand on Jin's back and down to Jin's hips.
“N-No” Jin shook his head in denial while gently grabbing Namjoon's wrist and pushing his hand away.
"No?" Namjoon questioned with a fake innocent looking frown.
"We can't take your money. Jimin won't accept it. Please, let me know whenever you find anything related to that nurse. It's not like you should but we would be so glad if you will help us in this” Jin stated. "I should get going” Jin quickly bowed further to leave but Namjoon grabbed his arm.
"How about you come inside and join me in dinner instead?" Namjoon suggested soon when Jin was about to step away and Jin just gulped.
"N-No, Attorney Kim, I have to go somewhere"
"I thought you had left robbery stuff and was baby sitting somewhere. Don't think you earn enough now, look at yourself, the glow of your body has completely disappeared" Namjoon eyed Jin down and Jin just froze.
"You seem to know a lot about my life" Jin stated.
"I know you don't have to go anywhere. Come on, let's go inside" Namjoon patted Jin's back but the latter stood firm on his toes. Not even moving a single muscle.
"I-I should leave" Jin quickly bowed again before turning to leave but his breath hitched once Namjoon grabbed his arm again.
"I just want to help you. I thought you would be interested in earning some money" Namjoon whispered. "Tonight" he added and Jin shook his head abruptly with wide eyes.
"N-No, thank you” Jin stuttered and Namjoon snickered while taking out his wallet.
"Fine, since you arent interested in giving me a good time, I will let you have some" Namjoon extended a few notes towards Jin who looked down at it.
"Take it” Namjoon insisted and Jin just looked at him and then at money while thinking hard until Namjoon made him grab them. "Get yourself some new clothes or something suitable" Namjoon told him while caressing Jin's parted hair bangs lightly with his thumb to let them be away from Jin's beautiful eyes, so, that he could see them properly and Jin looked away to mutter inaudible curses.
"Well... whenever you feel like earning some money, you can always come to me. Even if I would be busy with somebody else I will spare some time and energy for you" Namjoon whispered into his ear and Jin just look at him.
"G-Good Night, Attorney Kim" Jin gulped down the words as he bowed and turned to swiftly walked down the staircase while hugging his fist close to his chest.
Calmly closing the grill gate of Namjoon's house, Jin walked away in a really slow pace and as soon as he was sure he was off from the sight of Namjoon, he began running, as fastest as he could.
“Fuck you, Hoseok. One day these jerks will make me get wasted into this bastard'’s hands" Jin uttured while running away as if he was running for his life.

Jimin's breath hitched at the sight infront of him, as soon as he stepped out of the car. The dark navy blue sky and the moon touching the diminishing point of the vas never ending ocean infront of him had won Jimin's heart.
"Jimin, the hotel's entrance is this way” Jungkook pointed the opposite direction as soon as he stepped out of the car along with Jae-Hwa but Jimin wasn't even interested in looking at the luxurious skyscraper behind him.
"Had heard so much from people's mouth about how ocean looks like..." Jimin mumbled while being stuck at the sight and Jungkook walked around the car to look at Jimin who closed his eyes with a deep inhale, taking in the smell of the ocean while his ash blonde hair was dancing everywhere by the wind.
"What's so enchanting?” Jungkook questioned being dumbfounded once he heard Jimin's words.
"Since birth till now, it's my first time seeing an ocean sight infront of me, Mr. Jeon" Jimin breathed out while looking at Jungkook who looked back at him into his beautiful honey brown eyes.
"You are kidding me, right?” Jungkook snickered, not believing Jimin and Jimin just looked at those dark waves rushing forward and back.
"This smell... it's so beautiful, this voice... it is making me think that I'm unfettered” Jimin whispered with teary eyes and Jungkook frowned.
"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked and Jimin just pushed Jungkook's coat off from his own shoulders (which Jungkook had made him wore, since his neckline was too revealing) and Jungkook looked around, checking if there was anyone to ogle Jimin but there wasn't, except for just two staff member: of the hotel for welcoming Jungkook.
"Mr. Jeon" Jimin mentioned. "I want to touch the unfretted sea" Jimin asked wi a wide excited grin and Jungkook just blinked at him. "Please? Can I?"
"Well, okay” Jungkook approved unsurely and Jimin grabbed Jungkook's face and pecked the hell out of Jungkook lips enthusiastically and Jae-Hwa's mouth went wide.
Jimin giggled after the quick peck and Jungkook touched his lips while looking at Jae-Hwa.
Jimin bended down to take off his shoes as he picked them up in his hand and Jungkook just watched him. “What are you doing?" Jungkook questioned being taken aback. "The sand would have so many bugs and all...”
"Bugs bug only rich people, Mr. Jeon" Jimin replied while stepping on the warm sand which was looking dark grey in the night sky, looking at Jungkook with a chuckle.
"You are crazy” Jungkook confirmed ans Jimin just hoppingly began walking head, as he kept looking at Jungkook, while laughing hard, loving the feeling of soft sand under his feet.
Jungkook just watched Jimin laughing and running ahead, twirling in between his run on the shore with his wide grin, looking down and then at Jungkook occasionally as he spin playfully and ran ahead which made Jungkook to smile fondly.
"Come on, Jae-Hwa!" Jimin called her and Jae-Hwa ran after him in her black princess dress with an excited giggle as well, without even stopping for Jungkook's approval and Jungkook just leaned on his car while shoving his hands into his pants’ pockets, listening to Jimin's beautiful laugh and watching Jimin's happiest soul, dancing in the sand.

Suga walked down the staircase of the hotel, trying to find Taehyung in the busy party and ended up following the hallway leading Taehyung's room.
"Taehyung?!” Suga mentioned while trying to turn the doorknob of his room but the door happened to be discerned as locked.
He jaggled the knob a quite time but paused as he heard a few voices from the inside of the room. He leaned his ear to the door to hear properly but all he could hear was... moans.
“What on earth...?"” Suga mumbled with horrified eyes as he looked around abruptly.
"This motherfucker is knocking someone down infront of the Jeons! In a party filled with Jeons! In a room reserved by Jeons! Couldn't he stay a night clean, for God's sake!" Suga muttured while protecting Taehyung's room door, from all the people walking by with a nervous smile and a few bows to the people.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆,☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Jungkook walked towards his prince and princess those by now were playing in water, splashing it all over on each other with their happy giggles. Though, the water was hardly till Jimin's thighs but harsh waves were making Jimin and Jae-Hwa to fall and float as they both were too weak to stand still because of their tickling fight.
They both were completely soaked by now which made Jimin's black sequined jumpsuit to hug Jimin’s skin completely and his ass way too fine.
Jungkook looked around and the beach was all empty except for the two staff members from earlier. Jungkook gestured the two men behind him to leave them alone as he believed the view was not for anybody else.
"Daddy! Come on!" Jae-Hwa ran towards Jungkook to grab his wrist and lead him towards the edge of the coiling sea.
"No, thank you” Jungkook denied as he picked up Jae-Hwa's sparkly baby shoes from the sand to place them away.
“However, all medicines will be forbidden if anyone among you will fall sick because of this lame adventure. Oh, but I remember... only rich people get sick. I see...” Jungkook sarcastically mentioned and Jimin just keened his eyes at him.
“Only this far you both can go?" Jungkook asked with a snicker as now Jimin's knees were only covered by the water.
"My mother once told me that the ocean is alive and sometimes it's not that welcoming. It take away people” Jimin told him and Jungkook snickered. "What if it take me away?" Jimin asked and Jungkook snickered.
“How stupid of you to believe it” Jungkook noted. "I'm standing right here, it can't dare to pull my pulchritude with it in my presence" Jungkook assured.
"Then come along with me" Jimin demanded.
"Yes, Daddy!" Jae-Hwa insisted too.
“I don't think so" Jungkook denied, making Jimin and Jae-Hwa eye each other and Jungkook raised his eyebrow at them until Jimin collected a thick waving water into his palms and threw it at Jungkook's face, making his all settled parted hair bangs to died on his forehead being wet.
"Jimin’ Jungkook mentioned with a pant as the water was cold, as he removed his hair away from his eyes.
Jae-Hwa giggled while following Jimin's path after him, splashing water at Jungkook who just looked down at himself with wide mouth and his hands extended out infront of him but they couldn't stop the water.
"Now nobody can save you both from me" Jungkook announced, making Jimin to try running away but Jungkook lifted him of his shoulder and Jae-Hwa was easily captured in his other arm.
"Mr. Jeon!" Jimin began hitting Jungkook's back, clutching onto Jungkook's shoulder for life as Jungkook jogged ahead to the deeper water, getting all soaked and Jimin’s eyes widened upon looking around and Jae-Hwa kept laughing.
"Mr. Jeon! Don't let me go! I can't swim! I will die!"

Mi-Sun combed her wavy long hair, standing infront of the suite's vanity in a sexy black lingerie dress under silk robe. Spraying perfume all over her, she smiled as the door of the room got opened all of the sudden.
A hotel's female staff walked in and Mi-sun's smile vanished as she tied her robe quickly. "How dare you to come in without knocking like this?!"
“Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I thought this room would be empty since Mr. Jeon..."
“Whatever, don't waste my time. Go and tell my husband to come upstairs, alone” She added while checking herself in the mirror.
"Umm... well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jeon but I was told that Mr. CEO Jeon has already left, that's why I was here to clean the room, his father told me you would be gone as well"
“What? Why? And where he has gone? And when?" She kept questioning dumbfounded.
"Don't know why or where but it's quite a few hours, I guess”
"Since I'm standing here and this room is occupied, get the hell out of it right now or else I will pick you out infront of your manager” Mi-Sun threatened and the woman just bowed before rushing out and closing the door.
"Where Jungkook can go at this time of the night?" She muttered while taking off her robe and throwing it away on the bed as she picked up her phone and began dialing Jungkook's contact.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
"As many stars as they are in the sky, my dear pearl-one,
And they sparkle one by one, and they sparkle one by one~"
Jungkook heard a peaceful sounding voice singing and echoing the hallway of Taehyung's three bedroom suite, as soon as he walked out of the bathroom, ruffling his hair with a towel. Jungkook was wearing Taehyung's untied black bathrobe and pajamas. Jungkook walked out of the bedroom, as the voice lead him to the living area.
"So many times my eyes,
my dear pearl-one,
teared for you, teared you you.
Come on, dear mother, love me too, Swing the child in me~" Jimin sang while caressing Jae-Hwa's freshly washed hair, lying with her in her bed as he was hugging Jimin’s abdomen.
She wasn't wearing her princess dress anymore but a white robe tied perfectly like a baby gown. They were in a room of the suit with a single bed and had worn Taehyung's clothes but Jimin didn't change, he was still in the same clothes, didn't want to wash off the smell of the ocean. She wasn't minding Jimin's drenched clothes at all as she was cuddled up into him.
"I cry but you are not sorry for me, I cry but you are not sorry for me~”
Jungkook just watched them while leaning on the door's frame of their room. Listening to Jimin's beautiful yet so sad lullaby, with crossed arms. His voice was filled so much emotions and peace at the same time. The lullaby was sounding less of a mother to her child but of a child to his mother.
"Neither you are born by a mother,
My dear pearl one,
Nor you fear God, nor you fear God
Come on, dear mother, love me too~"
For a mother who wouldn't care about her child, at some point, Jungkook could find Jae-Hwa and Jimin both relating to that, knowing how Mi-Sun behaves with Jae-Hwa and what Jimin's mother did to him.
Jungkook could feel the reason of emotions in Jimin’s voice but he chose to hid behind the wall when Jimin looked aside.
“Come on, dear mother, love me too,
Swing the child in me~" Jimin ended the lullaby as he covered an asleep Jae-Hwa with the blanket and kissed her forehead.
"Jimin" Jae-Hwa mumbled in her cute sleepy voice once Jimin stood up from the bed to leave. Making Jimin to turn and look at her.
"Do you love my daddy?” Jae-Hwa questioned and Jimin just looked at her, dumbfounded.
"You made him angry on purpose. You don't want him to love you" Jae-Hwa guessed. "I heard you both since the play area was boring, I'm sorry" She confessed while colliding her both index fingers and looking down and Jimin sat down beside her again on the bed while Jungkook peeked from the door frame.
"It's... not like that" Jimin tried to explain.
"Will you not marry Daddy?”
"I-I... I..."
"Why you don't want to marry him? He gets angry sometimes but he is really nice. He take care of everyone, we both will take care of you. Please marry him, we will play together all day and | will always eat from your hand," Jae-Hwa told Jimin whose eyes turned glassy as he looked at her while Jungkook smiled as he looked down, listening carefully.
"But that's not okay" Jimin whispered with a smile. "Will you be happy if your dad will leave your mom because of me?" "Yes" Jae-Hwa's reply left Jimin and Jungkook both dumbfounded.
"She is your mother" Jimin shrugged. "Sometimes, we think our moms are our enemies but when we grow up, we realized it's not like that"
"She is bad... she always scold me and
beat me if I do something she doesn't like. When she does it infront of Daddy he scolds her and then they start screaming at each other... everyday" Jae-Hwa explained and Jungkook voicelessly sighed while biting his lower lip in regret.
Jimin frown while looking at her confusedly. "She tells me that I'm the reason she stays unhappy. She wish I wasn't born, she says, she hate me because she says I ruined her body" Jae-Hwa mumbled and Jimin just looked at her while Jungkook’s eyes sparkle a different flame with a raised eyebrow.
"M-Maybe... that's not what she meant. You are too little to understand what elders think and why they do certain things. Don't think it that way, maybe she said that... because you... eat too much chocolate" Jimin tried to make up.
"Maybe" Jae-Hwa shrug. "I should stop eating. Probably then, I will be beautiful" Jae-Hwa smiled.
"You are beautiful” Jimin emphasized.
"Mommy says I look like a pig because i'm fat” Jae-Hwa mumbled and Jimin made a face as if he was clearly taken aback.
"You aren't fat. Next time she call you anything like that you will tell her that I'm your reflection and I exactly look like you. If you wouldn't be a pig I wouldn't be like this" Jimin advised with a smile. "What you will say?"
“That Mommy, I'm your reflection and I look exactly like you. If you wouldn't be a pig I wouldn't be like that either” Jae-Hwa repeated and Jimin nodded proudly while patting her head.
"And then you will have to run away to your dad without looking behind" Jimin further told her and Jungkook pressed his lips in a tight line to suppress his chuckle.
"Okay” Jae-Hwa nodded.
"But, you know what you look like?" Jimin asked.
"Like what?"
"Like a beautiful fairy princess who runs the stars at night and color the clouds in daylight"
"Really? I don't know her. Daddy says it's all about science”
"Your daddy is stupid" Jungkook raised his eyebrow at Jimin’s statement.
"When I was little she often used to visit me and she was exactly like you" Jimin assured, caressing Jae-Hwa's curly hair and she chuckled.
"Is that really true? Why she doesn't visit you now? And what she used to talk about to you?" Jae-Hwa kept questioning and Jungkook smiled while walking back inside his own bedroom, letting the two talk.
(A/n: I have written the english translation of this lullaby, the original is Greek version, "Nanourisma by Katerina papadopoulou" but trust me this folk lullaby is so beautiful. Maybe grandmothers belonging from that nation would know it)
