Chapter 11: A Very Bad Day

He stood there in shock. He wanted to run, he felt the oxygen slowly leaving his body for the second time that day but he tried composing himself the best he could. "Wow, I still have the same effect on you." He smirks and Jungkook closes his eyes before closing them and opening them again. He wasn't the boy from the past.

"Still a scaredy cat, a coward too." He says in his ear and walks slowly to the front of the boy. "Choi Sungchul, I see that my eyes had the misfortune of seeing a dirty and cruel person like you." Jungkook replied back with strength, his outside demeanor showed toughness and bravery but inside he was still very afraid and small.

The other smirks, "I'm not too pleased to see you either. You know, I thought that I would finally have the luck of not seeing your disgusting weak face after you got run over and had switched schools. Guess not all dreams come true." He laughs and crosses his arms.

"If you didn't ever want to see my face again or be in my presence, then what in the fucking world made you decide to come here and talk to me? You know for someone who used to claim they didn't give a shit about me, you care a lot. Even after three years. Still immature and cruel as always." Jungkook spoke in a deep tone.

Sungchul kept a smile on face. It was clear that the Jungkook he was in front of was very different both physically and mentally. The old Jungkook would have never talked back to him, nor would they look so cold. However, despite the tough act, Sungchul had a feeling that deep down he was the same weak burden of the world.

"I guess it's true what people say. You know you call me immature, cruel, and what not but it seems like you are no better than me. Everyone on the campus says that you are cold and cruel, someone with no heart. How nice of them to believe you but deep down inside you are still the same weak, ugly, and pathetic little shit you have always been and will be for the rest of your life." Sungchul walks closer to Jungkooks face.

"What the fuck do you want from me. You already did a lot of damage to me so I have no idea why you are wasting your time talking to me and calling me name. It's in the past, why do you care so much about me? Seems like an obsession to me. If you are here to mess with me then I have some news for you. I'm not the same pathetic and weak Jeon Jungkook you speak of. I know how to fight my battles now, I also know when people are wasting my time. You are one of those people." Jungkook's finger points to the other male chest when emphasizing the "you."

"Why don't you do me a favor and not get in my way? Live your life and I live mine. Simple as that. Now move it." Jungkook pushes him with his shoulder and Sungchul laughs. "Running away like always? No surprise. You are still the same boy. Want to know why I don't leave you alone? Because you ruined my life in the past and I promised myself to have some pay back if I saw you again. I would have preferred to not see you ever in my life but I guess life wants justice for me."

"Justice? Please don't make me laugh. I'm the one who deserves justice here! Just get out my fucking way will you?!" Jungkook spat, not feeling fear anymore. Instead he felt irritation and anger

"Move you piece of shit!" Jungkook tried to walk a different direction but the other kept blocking his way. Soon enough Jungkook pushed him back with full force causing the other to fall. "Rookie mistake!" Sungchul said with anger and got up before punching Jungkook in the face. Jungkook's head went another way but quickly was held up and soon enough he was fighting back. "When will you ever fucking leave me alone! Let me be!" Jungkook punches him back twice and the other also defends himself by punching him in return. Jungkook was winning but at some point Sungchul got the upper hand by kicking his knee. The other winced in pain because it was the same knee he broke when he was run over. He grabbed Jungkook from the collar of his sweater and slammed him to the tree. Jungkook tried dodging the incoming punches and kicks but it was hard. "This is what you should get you fucking piece of shit! Fuck you Jeon Jungkook! I will get you back!" Sungchul was about to hit him when someone stopped him.

"STOP IT SUNGCHUL!" A female voice shoute. Sungchul looked up to his hand and saw Haewa stopping him from punching the boy who was in pain. Jungkook slowly looked up to notice her there.

Sangchul looked surprised to see her so angry. She put his wrist down with full force. "What the fuck is this Sungchul!" She shouted again and Sangchul fully turned to face her, wishing she wouldn't have stopped him.

"Why do you keep doing this Sungchul?! Why do you keep hurting him and making it seem like he's the bad guy when it's you! You are the one who has made him suffer! It's in the past, let it go!" Haewa says louder to Sungchul who is breathing deeply. "Plus, how are you so sure that he's the Jungkook from the past? You have no evidence!" Haewa scolded as she looked at Jungkook who turned away to avoid her stare.

"You are kidding me right? He is The Jeon Jungkook  that you and I both know, the same one that you also took part in hurting and humiliating! Just because he pretends to be someone he's not doesn't mean he stopped being the worthless trash he is!" Sungchul pointed at Jungkook as he defended himself.

"Even if he is, why do you have to keep doing this?! Forget about him! Move on!" Haewa spits out looking coldy at Sungchul. You promised today you wouldn't do anything or follow what everybody says. So why? Why is that the first thing I see as I take a walk is you going back to your old day?! Just stop it! We- we did enough to him already." Haewa looks down in guilt looking at Jungkook who sarcastically grins.

"I tried Haewa, I tried, but I promised myself that when I saw him again I would get back at him! I don't go back on my words. " Sungchul stutters a little at the end. Jungkook, although in pain, decides he's done listening to their talk. Done being humiliated. "Why don't you both do me the favor of leaving me the fuck alone! So you both found me again–realized who I was." Jungkook chuckles.

"Well, now that you did maybe you can be like everybody else and fuck off! I am not the same stupid naive boy I was in high school. I don't need a two faced, and a piece of shit to come back into my life and think I will be the same as before. Spare me the defends Haewa, all of us know you don't feel any remorse." Jungkook gives her a cold look. It hurts Haewa, makes her feel overwhelmed for the Jungkook she knew never insulted people. Even when they deserved it."

"Also you, Sungchul. You're honestly looking like a pathetic loser. Stop being trapped in the past." Jungkook says to him with a deep tone. He was about to walk away when Sangchul shoves him harshly, causing him to grunt at the force and stumble. He loses his balance and falls forward, catching himself on his hands. Pain shoots up his arms causing him to let out a hiss.

    Sangchul was pissed at Jungkook for talking like that to Haewa. He knew he had a reason, but the love Sangchul always had for her made him see something else. He watches as Jungkook tries to stand up, but Sangchul kicks him hard in the back and forces him back down. He turns him over and straddles his stomach, landing  once again hard punches to the younger face, causing him to grunt out in pain. Jungkook tried landing a hit back, but he was blinded by a well placed hit to his left temple. He struggled uselessly under Sangchul's weight, crying out in pain.

"NO! STOP SUNGCHUL, PLEASE!" Haewa shouts in a worried tone and tries getting Sungchul off but it's no use.

"Jungkook!" The other heard two voices say and quickly ran over to the boy who was in pain. They both forcefully push Sungchul out of the way. Once they do so Yugyeom gives the guy a punch in the face. "Hey are you okay?" The deep honey voice asks. Jungkook grunts in pain, but quickly realizes that the voice he was hearing was that of Kim Taehyungs.

"Taehyung-ssi?" Jungkook asks in disbelief and the other nods.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY BEFORE I GET THE ATTENTION OF THAT POLICE CAR OVER THERE SO THAT THEY CAN ARREST YOU!" Yugyeom shouts and Sungchul grunts in anger. He looks at Jungkook who was in pain and feels a slight happiness to see him that way.

"Remember my words, Jeon!" He said before he turned around and walked away.

   Sangchul didn't seem like he was going to stop, too engulfed in his anger. However, someone came up behind him and pulled him off, shoving him away harshly. "Hey man, what the fuck are you doing?! Get away before I call the police, asshole!" The person yells, glaring over at Sangchul, while standing protectively in front of Jungkook, who had turned on his side to try and get up, still groaning in pain.

   Sangchul looks down at Jungkook still lying on the ground, then back up at the person in his way. He clenched his jaw and growled out "Remember my words, Jeon!" He turned around and  walked away. 

Haewa stayed there not knowing what to do. She had frozen in fear when Sangchul attacked Jungkook and she wanted to help him, but knew the younger one wouldn't accept it. She stood there trying to decide what to do before she sighed in resignation.He would never accept help from her. She turned away from Jungkook and walked away, even if it hurt her to leave him like that. Either way, it looked like two people had already been to his rescue.

"Here, let me help you up." Taehyung says helping Jungkook get up from the ground. The other groans a little. "Look at you kook! What happened? Why did you get into a fight?" Yugyeom asks in worry as he sees the red colors on Jungkook's cheek and eye area.

"Ah it's nothing big, I promise. He just came up to me. He's the one who started all this. Really, I'm fine. The punches I received two months ago were more painful. It's just my knee that's hurting so fucking bad. You guys didn't need to do that. Especially Taehyung." Jungkook says keeping a cool tone but it was obvious that the other seemed sad, mad, and in a lot of pain.

Taehyung had been watching almost the whole scene from the store. He saw how Jungkook tried getting away but had the other follow him. Although he wasn't surprised to see that it ended up in a physical match, still Taehyung didn't feel like something was right. He didn't know why seeing Jungkook get what he had always thought the boy deserved made him feel bad. He didn't feel the pleasure he thought. When it was getting tense he was about to help but stopped when he saw the new girl Haewa stopping sungchul and saving Jungkook. He had hoped that would be the end and he would forget about the scene and go back to his things and Jimin who were waiting for him near the convenience store for some snacks, but that didn't end up happening. After seeing how the other was getting beat up again he couldn't stay there any longer. He knew Yugyeom was in the store and looked for him quickly to tell him the situation and soon enough they both were out seeing if the other was okay.

Clearly he wasn't. Although the younger was trying to assure this was nothing. There was something in his eyes that told Taehyung he wasn't.

"Look, I know you and I still aren't fully okay with each other, but when I know something is wrong or feel it I will try to help if I know the person. He was the one who seemed to have started things. Not you. I have to acknowledge that it won't always be you who will end up being the bad guy in certain situations. It's obvious that although you were putting up a good fight, he was hurting you way too much." Taehyung replied and Jungkook tried to not show how taken back he was. How awkward and embarrassed he felt too.

"Thanks either way. I promise it's just my knee and these hits aren't so bad. I'm sure some ointment will help prevent swelling. I promise Taehyung. Just don't say a word to others on campus. I'm sure the others are waiting for you somewhere. Don't let me take time to hang out with them or do whatever you guys are doing." Jungkook tries sounding okay.

"I won't. And you sure?" Taehyung asks again.

"It's okay Sunbaenim. I assure you that Jungkook will be fine in my care. If we or I need more help I'll call you up. Thanks for letting me know what was happening to him though." Yugyeom tried assuring the older who was hesitant but nodded. Even if he felt like doing more he knew they weren't at the phases to do more than just ask if the other is okay.

"Alright. Well get better jeon and I hope nothing is bad. If you can't come to practice in two days. It's okay. Just let me or the others know and please attend to Yugyeom-ssi."

"I give you my word." Yugyeom smiles and Jungkook gives him a nod. Taehyung gives his own nod and leaves.

"He's gone. What truly was that Jungkook?" Yugyeom asks again and takes Jungkook's arm and wraps it around his shoulder to help the other walk. "Just the past coming back to show me things haven't changed. I don't feel like explaining now. Can we go to a clinic and check my knee and then head back? I just had an accident not long ago with it so I don't know if he caused some pressure." Jungkook tried avoiding the topic and swallowing down the lump he felt in his throat along with what he was feeling.

"Yeah sure." Yugyeom says ordering a taxi because he knows walking to a close clinic will not be helpful.

      ————————————————————

ungkook was waiting in one of the rooms of the clinic as he was waiting to hear back on the X-rays the doctor has ordered after being told about Jungkook's knee condition. Jungkook had thought the doctor would be nosey and judgmental after seeing the red spots on his face which shows clear signs of a fight but it seemed like he could care less and that was fine for Jungkook.

Yugyeom had stuck by him the whole time. Asking if he still felt okay and if he needed anything. Jungkook had kept the answer every time he asked. "I'm fine." But deep down he wasn't. After realizing what happened, Jungkook wanted nothing more but to be alone and cry—scream at the world for having to put Sungchul in his path again. Having Sungchul humiliate him again. He was happy to know he defended himself for once, but he knew it was mainly for show. To show he is "bad" and "tough." Yet, he didn't really know who he was trying to show it for. He tried keeping in his cries but he wasn't going to lie that it was getting hard.

However, he didn't want to cry in front of Yugyeom. Didn't want the other to continue seeing him in a weak state. He already had enough by having both Yoongi and Jimin see him in such vulnerable states.

Although it seems like Yugyeom truly isn't like any of the other students on campus, and although it was clear to Jungkook that Yugyeom wouldn't give up so easily on being his friend, it was still hard. Hard to not think that at some point this man could expose him, use his weaknesses, turn his back on him. He knew Yugyeom probably wasn't like that and he is reaching, but after many hardships it's hard to not doubt people even when their actions and intentions have been completely positive. It was hard to break down even half of his walls. So, having to end up crying in front of Yugyeom wouldn't have been something ideal. But he also doesn't know how long he can fight it.

"Jeon Jungkook?" The doctor asked as he entered the room and Jungkook nodded. "Good, I see you are accompanied by your friend, that's good. Anyways, your knee, it's still good there's no intention of it being sprained or fracture. However, it does need some rest so I advise you don't do any running, dancing, jumping etc for a whole week. You should be well by then. Your other exams showed up to be fine. I can prescribe some pain killers for the knee and that should be all! Any questions?" the doctor asks and Jungkook shakes his head.

"No, that should be it. Thanks doctor." Jungkook how's while he's still seated. The doctor nods and leaves the room. "We can now go Yugyeom-ssi. Thank you for taking care of me and accompanying me." Jungkook forces a small smile.

"No problem, but don't think that I won't want you to at least let me in on some insight as to what happens. No one gets into a fight just like that out of nowhere. Maybe someone was drunk but the person you were in a fight with didn't seem drunk or with drugs. He knew you already. That's for sure." Yugyeom tries again for the fifth time to get something out of Jungkook.

The other sighs looking down at his lap. He knew the other wanted to know but he couldn't  right now. "I will, I just don't feel like talking about it now, okay? Please, I'd you will be my friend and all, know it will take a lot to get me to open up and explain everything that rapidly. I'll give you some insight, but later in the day or tomorrow. Being my friend will be hard. I warned you." Jungkook looks up, feeling even worse  that the other already has to put up with his struggles.

"Maybe it will be a challenge, but remember that I'll always be there for you. Know that I accept challenges and love them in fact. I'm sorry for pushing it. I just get worried easily. But that doesn't mean I don't want to keep trying or that I should pry a lot. I'll know you will tell me when you are ready." Yugyeom pits a hand in hi shoulder. Jungkook nods.

"Why don't we go back to the dorms? I feel like showering and just staying inside."

"Of course! Let's go strong, guys!" Yugyeom says and Jungkook sits up and walks out the door with Yugyeom right next to him.

It takes them 30 minutes but they end up being able to get to the dorm safely. Right when he opened the door Jungkook felt a huge relief. A relief that he was at least in safer area. "You must be really relieved to be here Jungkookie! I promise I'll be more aware next time." Yugyeom says.

"I am. And stop it. It wasn't your fault, okay? Plus I fought myself too. Also, I know you have a project to complete today. Do me a favor? Go with your group and finish that project? I know you didn't talk about it to take care of me but for the one hundredth time, I'll be fine and am fine plus it will get late! It's already 5pm." Jungkook comments, wanting the other to not look over him too much and in a way give him some time alone to fully process everything.

"But Jungkook-"

"Nothing. I'll be fine. I'll call if I need anything, okay?" Jungkook replies, assuring the other who nods.

"In that case, I will leave now, but please do call me! I'll get my backpack and go." Yugyeom says, knowing the project is important and also getting the indirect memo that the other wants to be alone. He does as he says and leaves with a farewell before closing the door.

Jungkook lies down in his bed once he's sure the other left and sighs. He rethinks back to everything that has happened in just one day. A panic attack so bad he had to get someone to help him, and then having a fight and facing the one person that has him become the person he is today. It was all too much.

"When will it end? When will I be fully happy? When will I finally have people who have hurt me leave my life completely? When will I feel at peace?" He says as he feels a tear down his cheek. He felt like he was back in high school, a 15 years old boy crying in his room after having a terrible day in school. He felt like his old pathetic self. He closes both his eyes and keys the tear fall.

"When will I win the battle against him, or should I say them and myself?" He asks again.

"Just because he pretends to be someone he's not doesn't mean he stopped being the worthless trash he is!"

"Maybe he was right. Maybe I'll always be worthless trash." He says but shakes his head. He knows he can't go back to how it was in the past where he accepted every word from others.

"Don't cry. You cried enough Jeon Jungkook. You have to accept that your past will continue to haunt you." He says and blinks the tears but they keep coming. Deciding to splash some water he goes to the bathroom and pauses when he sees himself in the mirror. He notices the bruise forming on his cheek and how his eyebrow became even more red. Suddenly out of no where, Jungkook can't help but cry hard. He puts his hands on the counter as he cries and looks at what he considers his weak self. "It wasn't supposed to be this way. God why does it have to be this way?!" He says and sits down in the bathroom as he starts to slowly cry even harder. He cries for 10 minutes but stops temporarily when he hears his phone ringing. Knowing it could be Yugyeom he aggressively wipes his tears away  and gets up slowly to get out of the bathroom and into his room where his phone was still ringing.

He breathes in and tries composing himself before he answers. He doesn't see who it is. He only accepts the call. "Hello?" He responds  in a low tone.

"Jungkook? You responded to me." His sister happily expresses over the phone. He closes his eyes, taking another deep and silent breath before speaking.

"I didn't see who it was, that's why. If I knew it was you then I wouldn't have responded at all. Look, if you are calling me to nag or go back home or something. Don't waste your time and breath. I wouldn't do it." He says with an irritated tone.

"No. I'm not calling about that. Did you forget that you and I had a pending talk? I'm at your campus right now." She looks around the place as she responds. Jungkook widens his eyes.

"Huh? You are here? Where?!" He responds surprised.

"Uhm it's by what they call the garden center? I'm here and I'm waiting for you with some food. What? Did you think Noona truly wouldn't keep her word on talking things and seeing you? Think I was lying when I said I miss you? Because I miss you Jungkook and right now all I want is for us to cut tension and give you a hug." She pouts over the phone. Jungkook can't see it but she knows she is. Suddenly he feels a sense of warmth in chest.

His sister surprising him and actually coming in her own time and will was something he appreciated. He also really missed her. He wouldn't admit it to people, but he missed the small attention and affection his older sister would always give him.

"I'll head there right now." He wiped more of his tears and hung up after the girl agreed at the other end of the line. He went to the bathroom once more and actually washed his face. Luckily, he didn't cry a lot so his eyes weren't puffy, but they were a little red. He knows he can relax and cry to his sister. He's done it many times before, but he wants to show her he's okay. That he's thriving after leaving the house even if that is far from the truth.

He drinks some water and takes another few more breaths to calm himself before heading out the door. He was going to wear a mask but it was forgotten. He tried walking not too fast but not too slow either.

After arriving at the place he looked around to see where his sister was. He then finds her when he sees a hand waving at him. He smiled a little and headed in her direction.

"Hmm, his face is red and a little swollen. Did he get into a fight? What happened now kookie? I'll just ask once you get comfortable. You never have hidden much from me." Eunjae says to herself in her mind when she took a look at Jungkook. For the most part, he did seem better than when he left the house. Deep down he could see a small glisten in his eyes that was dim but not put dark like before.

"Jungkookie! I missed you my bunny brother! Look at you!" Eunji quickly goes over and hugs him tightly. Jungkook stands, not imagining that his sister would hug him the moment he got close. "I know you may be a little mad at me, but please hug me back!" She pouts as she looks at him. She then hugs him tight but not too tight.

Jungkook stops looking at her and soon enough wraps his own arms around her and falls into her embrace. He really needed a hug. Especially someone from his own family, his own blood. "I missed you. Despite what I say or think I'm always missing my baby brother." She says softly and Jungkook can feel tears pool in his eyes again. He was very vulnerable today. He hugs her tighter not wanting to let go. He wipes his tears but it's hard for him.

"You miss me as well huh? I forgot the last time you hugged me so tight. You used to hug me so much and very tight when we were small and you were scared or just needed cuddles." She smiles remembering small memories of them. She was about to pull away when she realized Jungkook was having irregular breathing. A small sniffle that he tried to hide but she heard. It took her notice that he was crying.

She somewhat pulled away and saw tears streaming down his face. "Kookie, you are crying! Why are you crying? What's wrong? Also what happened to your face? Did you get into a fight? You're worrying me. I didn't expect to come here and see my baby brother cry" she touches his face and wipes the tears away.

"I'm sorry. Today...just hasn't been a good day. You shouldn't have to see me like this. I'm just proving to you that I keep being a mess despite living home huh?" He brushes away his tears and she shakes his head.

"Let's sit down first, okay? Just because we don't get along in certain things and annoy one another doesn't mean I think you are always a mess. Why shouldn't I see you this way? I'm your sister Jungkook. You don't need to have walls up around me, kook. Who am I gonna tell or expose you to?" She asks and Jungkook looks up as if she was asking a dumb question.

"What? Dad? You know that I don't tell dad everything. Now, tell me why are you like this Jungkook? Why are you sad? Why are you hurt? You can talk to me, Jungkook. Let it out." She rubs his shoulder and he nods, wiping his tears away.

"Sungchul is back. Haewa too. They are both new students to this campus. They've found me again." He says breathing in.

"What?! What do you mean that they are back? But, I thought we had made sure, dad and I, that he was going somewhere else." She reveals and Jungkook looks up at her in confusion. She makes eye contact and sighs.

"I had told dad to make sure that he was in another college. Well I asked him for help. I didn't want you facing someone that caused you pain. I'm guessing he already is making your life miserable? Is that why you are hurt? Talk to me." She says with a desperate tone.

"He had his first day today or so I think. I was heading to my last period when the professor introduced him. I was so shocked when I saw him that I started to have a panic attack. A very bad one. I ended up going out of the hall until someone calmed me down. When I saw him, everything rushed back. All the memories of torture. His cruel evil words." He says as the tears fall.

"I thought that as long as he didn't recognize me, he would think I'm someone else, but I was wrong. My roommate wanted me to accompany him to a convenience store not so far from the campus. I decided to wait outside for him and I was minding my business when he came from behind and talked to me. He knew who I was from the start. He told me how I'm still pathetic. How I'm still weak. That I'm to blame for the consequences he faced after that big day." He laughs a little.

"Even after years he won't leave me alone. I don't know what I've done to receive so much evilness from him. I thought he would finally be out of my life, but here he comes again. Anyways, I tried to show I wasn't weak, I tried to show that I wasn't the same Jungkook from back then. Even though deep down inside I was freaking out. I wanted to have another attack but I held it in. I said something he didn't like and that's when the fight started." He looks at the distance.

"I was winning noona! I was finally starting to feel like I could beat my enemy, only for life to slap me back in reality and show how I'm still weak, no matter what I say or do. I already knew that I still was, but I thought I was a little stronger than that. Maybe I was wrong." He looks at her eyes with more tears.

"I'm still a pathetic unwanted loser who lets people step on. When will I be a strong noona? When will I finally be able to escape the past? When will I stop being weak?" He asked as he let out a cry at the end.

"Oh kook, no." She says bringing him into her embrace again. He cries harder as she does. He has been feeling so lonely and the hug was something he was longing for as he thought before. He needed comfort. "All I ever wanted since I was small is to be strong. For people to not judge...guess that will never be helped."

Eunjae frowned when hearing that. It tore her heart apart to see her brother this way. It hurt to see him belittling himself like he did in the past. She does not agree with a lot of things, but that doesn't take away the love and protection she has for him. However, she let him cry and hug her for as long as he wanted.

"Kook, why do you always have to think low of yourself? Who says you aren't strong? You've become strong. You aren't weak anymore. Actually you've never been. I know since little, you've been told otherwise but I promise you, it's not that way." She speaks after a few minutes of letting him cry.

"The Jungkook from the past wouldn't have fought back. Old Jungkook wouldn't face his fears, he would let every bullet hit him. But, the Jungkook from the present, doesn't let anyone do that anymore. Who says you aren't strong? Who says you are the same? You fought him back and look at yourself." She wipes away his tears.

"You are strong, you are even more handsome now baby brother. You grew muscles and I am sure despite the reputation you have in this school, girls probably gush over you. You spiraled and you had an anxiety attack kook, this is just your vulnerability and insecurities talking. You fought back, and for that I am proud of you." She says and he looks up, it had been a while since his sister said he was proud of him.

"I don't know.." he murmurs.

"Kook, you are. You have to stop thinking so lowly of yourself. I know, I know that people have made you feel down and myself included. For that, I apologize, but maybe you need therapy Jungkook. I am not saying you are out of control, but have you ever thought of seeking professional help? Maybe that's the answer to helping you be better." Eunjae opinionated.

"I've thought about it before, but I wouldn't have time for it. Plus, I don't think someone professional will truly help my issues. Either way, do you really think dad will be happy to know his so-called son has a therapist? The moment he finds out he would stop it and judge me! He judges everything I do either way." He bitterly responds back wiping his tears.

"Don't exaggerate kook." She stands up and looks at him. Feeling a little angry that her brother thinks so low of their father.

"Dad wouldn't be upset if he ever found out you had a therapist. Either way, why should you care if he does? Isn't that the sole purpose as to why you left home? Because you didn't want him dictating your life and making you feel left out?" She crosses her arms and Jungkook shakes his head in disbelief.

"Why do you always have to paint him as a villain kook. I know that at times he says some harsh things and he goes over the line but he does it because he cares about you and loves you! I bet you dad would be happy to know you would end up getting some help with controlling your emotions. It might fix the issue you guys have created. Dad never does things on purpose or because he thinks your a fucked up or something. That's you who has thought that way. I don't even know why you started to get angry at him all the time." She lightly raises her voice at the end. Jungkook looks at her furrowed his eyebrows. Of course his sister would go and defend his father.

She's always been the favorite and on his side she hasn't been able to see in detail how dad acts with him. It infuriated him that instead of keeping up that comfort she decided to scold him. Right when he already had a shitty day.

"Why am I always angry?! It's all in my head?! Do you really believe all these things noona? For your information, I've never been always angry with dad, but I have been upset and dad because he treats me like shit! When will you open your eyes and see that dad never wanted me! That he doesn't love or care for me! If he cares it's only for his image nothing more!  What do you mean it's all in my head?! Do you know how many times when I was younger, I tried getting his attention and everything?! He would just put me to the side and it became even worse when he found out what I loved to do! Of course it's easy for you to say that dad loves you and is a caring man because he's only been a true father to you! He stopped treating me well after mom left. To this day I don't know why. Maybe I remind him too much of her in how I am. Maybe he is caring but not to me! He told me before I left the house I was a fucked up! He said it to my face, Eunjae!" He stands up and defends himself.

"You are so wrong Kook. It's not me who's blind to what dad has done for you! It's you! He's been a true father to you! He's only wanted the best for you! He still does! When he was little, he was busy, he was trying to help build his company so that we could live a better life! To give us the life we have now! You don't have to always discredit him. Either way, I'm sure dad didn't even call you a fuck up and you misinterpreted everything like you always do!" She shouts.

"When will you ever be on my side? It's so easy for you to say all these things because you have always been his favorite! The angel and princess of his eyes! He's always given you attention, he never stopped giving you love and he never has said hurtful words. Has never made you feel like a burden. He's never made you feel ashamed! You can't go and assume stuff when you have been treated the opposite way as me." He fights back not feeling too sad anymore but just angry. His sister would never be on his side or see his view of things.

"You know what? Why don't you just leave Eunjae! There's no reason for us to continue talking when this will just get bigger and bigger! You are supposed to comfort me! You are supposed to see my view of things and you haven't done so! You don't know what it's like to be in my shoes! Just go home to your dad. You care and defend him so much so his company should be better." He wipes his tears that he feels are falling down. Guess the whole day is just filled with him crying.

"Thank you for coming to see me, but I don't want to talk to you anymore. I don't want us to start a fight. You will never get me. Please drive home safely." Jungkook walks away fast leaving his sister behind. The girl regretted what she had said the moment Jungkook started walking away. She called onto him but the younger one just ignored her.

After he was sure he was in an area away from his sister and that no one would come or be in, he sat down, brought his knees to his chest and started to sob. Letting everything out. He had a terrible day and the one person he felt would make it better only started to scold him instead of giving him comfort. He was so tired. He wanted to give up in those moments, but he always had the hope of a better future. However, it seems dimmer and dimmer.

"I just want to be happy. I want to be myself. I too want to be loved and defended for." He sobbed in between not knowing that from a corner a tall boy was watching him with sadness. A boy who had judged him, and thought he had no emotion of pain, was seeing how wrong his words were from a far.
