Chapter 12

"Baby, look what Auntie Kim bought you~"

Jungkook raised his head up, widening his Bambi eyes when he saw the bunny plushie that Mrs Kim's holding, "It's so cute..." His mouth hanged open, forming an o shape.

Well to Mrs Kim, Jungkook seriously looks cuter than the plushie he bought.

"I think it looks like you so I bought it for you, baby." She handed it to Jungkook and the boy gladly accepted it, "Do you like it?"

"I love it, Auntie Kim! I can hug it when I'm sleeping! Thank you, Auntie Kim." Jungkook smiled widely.

Taehyung who sat beside them sulked, "Great, now he'll hug that stupid plushie rather than hugging me when he's sleeping." He mumbled, rolling his eyes in process.

"Did you say something, hyungie?" Jungkook tilted his head, staring the male confusingly.

"You heard it wrongly, doll." Taehyung said, a small smile plastered on his face when Jungkook cutely shrugged.

"Can I go back to Busan, Auntie Kim?" Jungkook asked.

"Why? Next month-" "I know next month is the wedding but I really really miss my mommy. I need to check whether she's doing fine or not... Please?" Jungkook pleaded, showing his puppy eyes towards the woman.

"Well..." Mrs Kim averted her gaze from the boy to her son, "Give me a moment baby, I have to discuss this matter with Taehyung."

Without waiting Jungkook's reply, she dragged her son, dashing towards the kitchen, earning some gasp from the maid.

She ignored them, "Help." She said, making Taehyung widen his eyes.

"Excuses me?! We have no choice but let him go at this rate!"

"The problem is, his mother is terribly sick right now! She called me yesterday and told me never ever let Jungkook go to Busan because she doesn't want Jungkook to be sad!"

"So now what? He deserves to know the truth, mom!"

"But how should we tell him? Tell him his mother hot incurable cancer, tell him his mother is dying?!"

They both stopped talking when they heard a familiar gasp. They turned their heads, finding Jungkook standing not far away from them.

"My mommy is dying?..." Tears welled up in Jungkook's eyes as he stared at the floor blankly, body trembling hardly.

"No baby, it's-" "You said she's dying just now! I-I..." Jungkook opened his mouth but no words out cause he doesn't know how to react. He turned his heels, running away with rushed steps.

"Jungkook!" Taehyung quickly followed the boy. Luckily he runs faster than Jungkook so he's able to pull the boy in his embrace to stop him running further.

"Let me go!! I need to see my mommy!!" Jungkook struggled, trying to push Taehyung away but the male is too strong for him.

Tears streamed down from his eyes as he keep on hitting Taehyung with his fist, "Let me go!!"

"Calm down first, doll-" "I don't care I don't care! Let me go!" Taehyung sighed. He just let the boy hit his chest while he keep his hand still on Jungkook's waist.

"P-Please..." Jungkook whispered out. His eyesight was blurry and he felt his head is getting heavier. "Please... I need my m-mommy..." This is the last thing Jungkook said before he went unconscious in Taehyung's embrace.

"How is he, Tae?" Mrs Kim asked softly.

Taehyung continue caressed Jungkook's hair, "He's fine. Doctor Choi said he probably get too overwhelmed by something and cried too much, that's why he fainted."

"Oh my poor baby..." Mrs Kim sighed heavily as she stared at the boy in pity, "Why does he has to go through this?"

Taehyung pursed his lips, "I think we should let him at least see his mother before she dies, mom. He deserves it."

"Yeah," Mrs Kim nodded her head, "I'll leave you guys alone first. Take care of him, okay?"

"I will, mom." Taehyung's gaze never leave the boy. He let out a deep sigh as the door clicked shut.

He placed a soft kiss on Jungkook's lips, "Get well soon, doll."
