A sudden buzzer of the doorbell made Shay look behind her. "Jin! Come on in son." She was quick to turn her attention towards the boy.

As Jungkook looked at Jin, he could not maintain eye contact. He was caught by him yesterday and he did not know if Jin was here to tell his mother. Nonetheless, this gave him a window to handle the letter.

Jungkook ran to Momo's room who had finished changing her clothes and was coming out with few books in her hand. "Momo... Please help." Jungkook teared up. 

"What is it?" She panicked as she looked at Jungkook. 

"Help me hide this from mom." He begged.

"What is going on with you, Oppa? What has gotten into you?" She asked in temper but Jungkook only begged more. 

"Please, I will tell you everything... But please. Mom is going to read this and she can't. If she does I am dead."

Momo could not see her brother like that and she took the envelope from his hand. "I will put my essay in it. If you destroy the letter, she will only grow more suspicious. She will need to see something with her own eyes." Momo suggested and quickly rushed to get her bag. 

Jungkook tucked the original pages in his pants and walked out with Momo's essay now sitting peacefully in the envelope.

Meanwhile, Shay and Jin talked. "Did you find out anything?" She asked.

"No mom. I have not seen anything alarming yet, but I will tell you," Jin replied slowly as he surveyed the surroundings to make sure Jungkook or Momo were not near them. "Thank you for calling me to ask for help. He is like my brother so I will definitely not want anything happening to him." 

"Thanks, son."

"What made you think that there is anything wrong here?" Jin questioned. 

"I noticed that he has been on his phone a lot lately and I heard whispers at night from his room. It made me think that something was going on." Shay sighed. 

"Don't worry much. He is a good kid. Give him some time and he will come around. His exams are near so I think he will not have much time for anything other than study."

Jimin was in his office again. As he had to take over the CEO position, he had to understand things and he was going under rigorous training. He was waiting for his driver whom he had called sometime back while he stared at one point on the wall blankly when the door was knocked. 

'"Come in."

The driver walked in and Jimin made him sit on the chair. "Uncle, I have something really important," The driver nodded. "There is a guy named Kim Seokjin. He is friendly with Jeons. He studies at Busan Business University. I want to know about that guy. Anything that will put him back into perspective. He looks like someone who could be a threat for little Jungkook." 

"I will see what I can do." The driver assured before standing up. He bowed and left. Jimin's driver was someone whom he treated and trusted like family. Since he was a child, the driver was the one who always drove him around and he had saved Jimin's life 15 years ago.

The man left and Jimin stayed behind. "I miss you little Jungkook. Should I call you?" He sighed but did not call him.

Meanwhile, Jungkook washed his face to clear the redness that appeared on his face and in the eyes after crying. He walked right out and handed the envelope to his mother. Shay kept it beside her and kept talking to Jin while the older male only gawked at Jungkook. When the younger did not say anything, Jin called out.

"How are your studies going, Jungkook?" He asked. 

"Good, Hyung. I will go study now." He told the boy and went straight to his room.

By there, he closed his door and took out the letter with shaky hands. He did not even have it in him to read the whole thing as his eyes brimmed. He tore it apart and flushed the small chunks in the toilet. He sighed in relief right after.

In the evening, Jungkook and Momo went outside to play badminton. This was the only time where they could freely talk to each other. 

Jungkook began to tell everything to Momo, starting from the strange boy following him and then daily stalking him in different cars. Momo also acknowledged that she has observed those cars following their school bus lately. 

He went on to tell her how Jimin called him one morning and told him his name was not Summer but Jimin. It was Kim Taehyung that had spotted Jungkook one morning at the bus stop and he was Jimin's best friend. Both of them started to have this little rivalry and how Jungkook liked Jimin and not Taehyung. 

The biggest thing that came as a shocker to Momo was Jungkook coming out to her. He was homosexual. She did not know how to process that chunk but she decided to help her brother in time of need. She knew how strict her mother was on both of them and she could only imagine what would happen if Jungkook was caught.

"Oppa, listen very carefully. Please, I beg you... Try to get out of the house once you graduate high school. I will help you but if we get caught, we are done for."

"I know... I am trying my best but I cannot go unless I have permission. I hope it works out and in case I get caught, you will tell everyone that you did not know anything about this. You understand?" Jungkook emphasized and Momo nodded, although scared.

Things seemed pretty normal after that. The last few weeks at the school passed and Jungkook had his preparatory leaves started. Jin has started coming to meet Momo and Jungkook every evening of the day.

When Jungkook was fond of Jin at one point, even had a little crush on the man, now loathed him. He of course did not say anything but he knew that his mother and Jin were definitely talking. 

The information that Jin was sitting on was like a ticking bomb for Jungkook. He wondered why Jin did not say anything to his mom and this only made him edgier than usual. He would take out time to talk to Jimin when his mother was cooking or in the middle of the night when everyone slept. 

Jimin wanted Jungkook to solely focus on study and not worry about talking to him but the boy needed validation. Jimin found him really insecure and he thought that if the older did not talk to him, he would forget him. Jimin understood why Jungkook was anxious or insecure. He was brought up in a really stressful atmosphere and it had affected his mental health. Hence, Jimin made sure to listen to him speak about his day every day.

One day, Jimin was sitting on his terrace when Jungkook called him. He smiled and picked up the call.

"Hey, baby..." Jimin spoke with his softest tone and heard Jungkoo's rough voice and coughing. He had fallen sick. "What's wrong?" Jimin's face turned grim. 

"I got fever." Jungkook pouted with eyes brimming. 

"Oh, my baby... Did you take medicine?" Jimin asked. 

"Mom is not here. She will come late at night. I will go to the doctor then." Jungkook informed.

"I will take you to a doctor." Jimin suddenly stood up and started walking downstairs. 

"No... You can't come here. Everyone will know that you did. I can't meet you here." Jungkook panicked and Jimin sighed. He knew Jungkook was right and the last thing he would do was to put him in trouble and more stress.

"I will get your medicine. Is your sister at school?" Jimin asked. 

"Yeah, but why?"

"I will give her the medicines. She will get them to you."  

"But..."

"But nothing, baby. You don't worry about anything now, okay? I will make sure she won't be seen by anyone. Do you trust me?" Jimin asked lovingly and Jungkook nodded with his tiny hum.

"My good baby. Rest now. I will check up on you later."
