|THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW |

A sigh left on the thin lips of male inside the luxurious office. He stretch his limbs and finger tips. He feels the tiredness of his muscle after sitting for four hours straight.

The papers need to be done today is finished. He checked his wristwatch, 5:00 pm. Finally, its time to go home and sleep.

He grab his suit and keys. He walk out out and ride his private elevator. As he step out of the elevator, he saw their employees running of the place as well. Some were bowing at him as he recognized the son of the company owner.

He went to the parking lot and open his Mercedes Benz car parked specifically at the cleanest and dirt free parking lot that mostly higher positions in their company.

He clutch the keys and drove off to his apartment.

Upon arriving at his apartment he got a text message from his father telling him to go to their main mansion on Sundays, dinner time.

He thought that his father might as him to worked hard more than he use to or scold him or anything. He doesn't care anymore, he is just a like a puppy, following every tracks his father told him to do which is kind of irritating sometimes.

Instead of thinking too much of his father, he decided to have a cold shower to relieve some stress.

After doing his job in the bathroom, he plop his body on the bed and rest as he feels his eyelids began to heavy.

He was about to sleep when he heard a rang from his phone, he grab it without looking who is the contact.

"Hello, Jeon Jungkook speaking?", he greeted.

He heard squeaky laughs from the other side of the caller. He knew that kind of laughs. "Hyung?.."

"Jungkook Mr. Min told me to remind you that the meeting last Friday is rescheduled tomorrow 9am"

"Noted, Mr. Park"

"Jungkook, may I remind you to call me Jimin hyung, we're not in office, there's no need for formality", Jimin, from the other side of line expresses.

"Okay, Jimin hyung",he smiled.

"Did you eat lunch earlier?", Jimin ask

"Yeah, the takeout from Hoseok hyung"

"Water?"

"Yes hyung"

"Dinner?"

Jungkook didn't answer. Well, he didn't have any as of the moment.

He heard noises from the other line. He panicked.

"I'll order food for you. Wait for the delivery", Jimin says.

"N- no hyung, please. I'll have ramen later. No need"

"Are you s-u-r-e?"

"Yes hyung, don't worry too much about me", he said, assurance cannot be seen in his voice.

"We care about you because we want you to feel loved. Not just some sort of assistance as your father sees you. You are a family"

"I know and I am forever thankful with you guys. Including Joon hyung, Jin hyung, Hobi hyung, Yoongi hyung"

"And we're very thankful that you exist", Jimin said wholeheartedly.

"We should go, I have an errand to attend after this"

"Okay hyung, good evening and have a nice day"

They bid each other goodbye. Jungkook's heart burst Everytime there are people that cares for him. The heavy burden lessen, he wish to be a strong person just like them.

He find a home, a family.

He felt home, not in his real family bloodline.

But for some reason, he was jealous at them too.

Sometimes he wish to be able to fall in live just like his hyungs. Just maybe. At least once in his life that will end in a lifetime.

But how could he be able to experience that when he doesn't know his mother in the first place.

He remembered in his 5 year old self that he asked his father about his mother. Being young and after seeing his kindergarten classmates having women or special men by their side, calling them 'mama', or 'eomma'and 'papa'.

Even in his age, it hits him, he doesn't have people to call like his other classmates. It saddened him. The only people he have is his bodyguards, the maids, his cousin and his father.

His father lash out to him. Shout at him like he wasn't his child. Jungkook trembled seeing his father got angry at him after asking 'sensitive' question.

Jungsun saw his child trembling in fear of him. He stop, take a deep breath to control his anger and consoled Jungkook who was about to have panic attacks.

After that incident, Jungkook never ask about his mother. It looks like he had traumas after that. But he wished one day that he could be able to meet his unknown mama.

Meanwhile, Jungsun became strict to him and mold him like him, a perfect person that suits in the bloodline of Jeons.

The experience mold him in some sort of a person hiding behind the mask. Everything should be perfect and your true self and emotions should not be seen by the audience.
