Eternally Yours

9) Jungkook - Caught

"GET THE FUCK IN HERE! YOU'RE LATE AGAIN" was the first thing Jungkook heard from his mother as soon as he entered the house. "Here we go again" he sighed, walking towards his mother in the kitchen.

"You're such an ungrateful child, we let you live in this house and you can't even be home in time to cook me dinner!" she yelled, grabbing him by the throat and pinning him against the kitchen wall with one hand.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" she said as she raised her other hand to slap him.

"Get out of my sight or you are going to get an ass-whooping tonight young man" she threatened.

Jungkook's mom wasn't the biggest nor strongest person, but she was only a few inches shorter than Jungkook. Not to forget that she was very intimidating when she wanted to be, making Jungkook do nothing but submit to her powerful aura. He was on the verge of tears, he didn't know how much longer he would be able to live like this. He was too tired to cry anymore, he was too tired to feel anything. He trudged off to his room and laid down, closed his eyes, and let the darkness consume him.

After Alan got home, late at night, as usual, he immediately went to check up on Jungkook, he just had a gut feeling that something was up. After seeing how pale his son was and a red mark forming around his jawline area, he went back downstairs and immediately grabbed the spy camera from the kitchen, replacing it with a different wall plug and throwing it in his bag to look at tomorrow with Maria. She would help him upload the video to his laptop and review it before him, not wanting to feel an overwhelming amount of guilt for potentially letting his son get hurt. Alan knew that he had to sleep now, because he wanted to see everything through with a clear mind, but he also didn't want to leave his son alone. He had no choice, he would have to wait anyway for the files to be uploaded to the computer before going over them. It would just have to wait a few more hours.

The next morning arrived sooner than expected. Once Alan finished rushing through his morning routine, hoping to help relieve some of his son's pain he entered his office building determined to find answers. It was Friday, so it meant meetings scattered throughout the day and wrapping up any work that didn't get finished earlier in the week. For most workers it was an easy day since their boss knew about the importance of their workers' mental health was crucial, a large handful of them being single or divorced parents.

There was plenty of leisure time today for Alan and Maria since they had finished their project last night, so they planned on watching the hours of footage recorded with the spy camera, well it was mostly Maria since Alan thought he wasn't "prepared enough to face the worst".

"I can't believe what I just witnessed... Alan, you really need to see this, maybe you will have an explanation for this. This type of behavior is very uncalled for, how could a person do that to another?" Maria said, snapping Alan out of his thoughts of what could be happening to his son.
