Nothing In This World

Chapter-18

The spoons hitting the plates and their silent chewing with their regulated breaths were the only sounds at dining table. No one spoke a word too afraid of the consequences.

Mr. Jeon looked too angry and his face gave it away. Both the brothers kept clutching each other's hands under the table not wanting the worst imagined to happen.

"Jungkook can you get me a finger bowl.", asked Mr. Jeon in a calm voice taking aback Jungkook who just nodded and stumbled his way to the kitchen to get one.

Soobin kept shifting his glances worriedly all over the place cause he knew his father was going to do something worst at any cost. He really would. He didn't want his brother to go near his father afraid the latter may end up on the floor like he did in the morning.

He looked at his hyung who came out of the kitchen with the small bowl of water with a few lemon slices in it, placed it infront of his father and retreated as soon as he did.

"Napkin.", asked Mr. Jeon and Jungkook right away gave it to him not wanting to give him another reason to be mad at.

Mr. Jeon got up wiping his hands onto the napkin and placed it aside. He started walking towards Kook who was standing at a little distance from his father.

He felt his heart beating up against his chest due to fear. Soobin looked like he was about to cry. He wanted to stop his father but he knew it would be of no use and he would end up getting into a more worst situation.

Jungkook stood their flinching for every step his appa took, fear crawling up his skin. He looked at his father who was now standing in front of him.

He looked up to meet his father's eyes and before he could, he ended up on the floor his cheek stinging and his back hurting as it hit the table against the wall. He felt his eyes become wet.

He knew this would happen, he knew it would hurt but seems like he wasn't still prepared enough. He flinched in his place when he felt Mr. Jeon shouting at him again.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU PULLED OUT THAT SCENE IN THE MORNING MR. JEON JUNGKOOK?", yelled Mr. Jeon his voice booming throughout the house.

"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE IT! WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE FROM OUTSIDE TO CONVINCE ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I DON'T LIKE IT!!"

"A-appa it w-wasn't h-hyung's fault. I w-was the one who started i-it in the first place.", said Soobin piling up his courage as he now stood infront of his hyung who just hung his head low with tears rolling down his stinging cheeks.

Soobin looked at his father and regretted the next moment as he could see him looking like a beast who is on rampage.

"Yeah! Everything is because of you! Look at you making your brother suffer for what you have been doing!!", yelled Mr. Jeon and it didn't take a second for Soobin to agree with him while Jungkook just kept shaking his head denying it.

"I atleast hope now if you see your brother suffer you will get back to your senses. You love your brother right? Then this is your lesson from today onwards. You mess up and your hyung suffers. How does that sound?", said Mr. Jeon in the most psychic way and Soobin looked at him horrified. That is the last thing he would ever want.

He kept shaking his head, tears running out his eyes while his lips parted repeating a 'no' not wanting his brother to suffer because of him. That is the last thing he ever wants.

And before he knew he was pushed away from his brother not before being slapped and by the time he realized what was happening around him it was too late as he could see his father hittting his hyung while the latter just kept his head hung low as tears kept flowing down his face.
