[JUNGKOOK] Sweet and Bitter

Mom

/5 October 2013/

It's really quiet in here. Weird. Jisub is suppose to be at home already. I walk through the empty halls until I hear someone calling me from behind.

'Y/n-ah!'

I turn around and see our neighbour Mrs. Lee staring at me. She looks deeply concerned. I take a few steps towards her. 'Mrs. Lee, is everything alright?'

A tear rolls down her cheek. Now I'm the one who's concerned.

Before I could say something she pulls me in an unexpected embrace. 'Sweetheart, I'm so sorry', she says quietly while caressing my back. I hug her back in response, not knowing what I should do.

'You're sorry? Did anything happen?', I ask her confused. She holds her breath and slowly pulls away from me. She wipes her tears away, while I look at her still questioning this whole scene.

'Mrs. Lee?' No answer. Instead a sad smile appears on her face. 'You probably didn't realise it yet. Poor child', she says and cups my face while caressing it gently.

'Mrs. Lee, I don't understand-.' 'It's fine, sweetie. Go home', she cuts me off while removing her hands from my face. I nod a confused yes, before taking the keys out of my pocket and walking to my house.

I turn around for the last time, but she disappeared already. Is she oké? I really don't know what that was about.

I open the door and tiredly get in. I almost forgot that I was carrying this huge backpack. I take it off and throw it on the floor, while trying to remember what Mrs. Lee ever did to me to burst out in tears like that.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't notice a person approaching me from beside. I let out a scream. 'Oh my god, for real- you almost gave me a heart attack', I chuckle while looking at my brother.

'Oppa, what's with being quiet today hm? Normally you can't stop talking-.' A sudden move makes me hold my cheek in pain. He slapped me.

I look up at him and open my mouth for the words to come out, but they don't. 'Stupid b*tch. Why didn't you respond to my calls?', he spits out in my face while grabbing my throat and tightly holding it.

'Jisub. Stop', I manage to say while choking in his strong grip. I try to escape with my useless slaps against his chest, but instead I find myself thrown against the kitchen counter when he harshly pushes me.

I collapse on the ground while holding my chest and painfully coughing. My longs manage to get some air, but right after I get pulled up by my hair making me scream out in pain.

'YOU ARE THE REASON SHE LEFT ME. SHE LEFT ME ALONE', he screams while slapping me again. 'IT WAS YOU Y/N. YOU MADE HER LIKE THAT. F*CKING SL*T', he screams with tears streaming down his cheeks.

He covers his face in his hands and cries loudly while collapsing on the floor.

''It's all your fault"

/Present/

The tensed feeling around them is a less after their long conversation earlier. It's a lot more peaceful after we ate dinner. I didn't expect Minjun to be such a good cook.

'It was delicious. Honestly', I compliment him while placing my plate on the kitchen counter which Minjun is leaning on. He looks up from his phone and flashes a smile.
