"I get you." Amma says slowly patting Jungkook's head who now buries it in her lap, seeking comfort. "I completely understand you." 'Mothers are the only ones who understand you afterall.' Jungkook thinks.

"But it doesn't justify you being ready to hurt someone just for the sake of your own desires." She removes some crinkles's from the guy's clothes as her warm, loving hands wipe away his tears. "I know, and I'm sorry." He sobs. "But I thought this was my last straw before I could finally fulfil the promise I made to you. And I could finally give the kids a good future."

"But through dishonesty?" She interrogates. "Is this what I taught you? I told you, no matter how stiff the times get, no matter what kind of standstill your world is at, no matter how hungry you are. Don't feed yourself by stealing someone else's bread."

Jungkook listens silently with his eyes shut, his eyelashes wet which cause his eyes to twitch momentarily. "But I understand you, even if you chose the wrong path, your destination was always correct. And the reason I want to give you a second chance is because you've realised this yourself. You love the girl so much, don't you?"

"I love her more than my life amma, I cannot describe my admiration for her."

"And she understands you." His mother takes his face in her hands and smiles while removing some dust particles from his face. "She understands every inch of you, but she's been played with. It's hard to build your trust back so easily, but I can tell you she wants you as much as you want her." Jungkook's eyes light up on hearing this, his lips agape in some hope.

"Yes." His mother smiles. "She still loves you Jeon, she loves you way more than you can imagine, don't give up on her." She pats his head.

"I want you to prove it to her, prove it." Jungkook immediately faces the woman above him.

"There's so much you haven't known yet, my child. So much." Her hands feel warm when she cups Jungkook's face with them. "Don't lust for her, child. Love her. Love her harder than you love yourself. Harder than you love me." She says.

"The moment you'll finally love her, she'll drop everything that's she's holding between you both and fall into your arms. But you have to love her, Jeon. Love her like your father once loved me over others." She smiles.

"But I believe I already do." He says tilting his head. "I made love with her so many times."

A casual laugh exhibits on her face as she facepalms herself, covering her eyes which looked down at Jungkook's immature figure with awe but pity. Then she proceeds to remove her bracelet from her wrist, the same bracelet Yn had broken some time ago. What-

"Give this to her the day you know you love her, she'll wrap it around herself on her own even if you don't believe me, she loves you." She places the bracelet on Jungkook's palm and his eyes scan the accessory. "The day you will love her, and will not lust for her anymore." She squeezes Jungkook's shoulder as she looks up at the ceiling with a satisfactory smile.

"Love is so diverse afterall, love for everyone and everything. But it always uproots from one seed, my son. The seed of purity. The purity of mind, of heart and of body before you love." She looks back into the young one's eyes who seems to be having a crowd of realisations shooting back and forth inside his mind, listening carefully and letting everything sync with his soul.

"Don't love her body, don't love her assets, don't love her might. Love her as if she's nothing, but her name. Be there for her regardless of your reality, know you'll love her on your behalf, no matter what comes your way from her end."

Jungkook gasps.

"And I want you to show her, not just tell her."

"I tried to, just now-"
