[flashback]

Jungkook sat at his usual study desk at home that his parents had set up very lovingly in the garden. He had to make his parents proud, see the smile on their faces for when he would achieve his goal. And his goal at that time was to win the essay competition.

Jungkook sat on his desk, scribbling words on a piece of paper when he heard screams coming from inside his. The 9 year old boy was curious as he sprinted in. The sounds of cries and screams only got louder.

"Mama" he called out in a low voice as he pushed the door of her room open only to see her hiding away in the corner. As his dad towered her, holding a leather material in his hand that he very easily identified as a belt.

"Mama" he called again as he rushed towards her wiping away her tears.

Before he could ask his dad anything the man walked away.

That was the first time he had seen his mom in that state, the occurrences only getting frequent after that.

The cries and screams only got louder and Jungkook, a small boy, then grew up hearing them.

The picture was painted in his memory so well.

When Jungkook was old enough and had begun going to college and learnt about life and right and wrong he wasted no time in confronting his dad.

"You don't know what she does behind my back and yours"

"how would you feel if your mom would leave you to stay with someone else?" His dad shouted at Jungkook who had pushed him on the floor away from his mom.

"I don't care!" He shouted back.

The torture only got worse with each passing day.

His dad grumbled the same thing.

One evening when he got home early, he noticed a fancy car outside his home. His eyes grew wide when he saw his mother with someone other than his dad.

She was cheating on his father.

His dad's words came to his mind.

"You should learn to control your partner"

"keep them under your hold so they can never dare to look at someone else"

"Your mother is cheating on me"

"She found someone better, she tells me"

"Control your partner"

"Never let them be stronger than you"

"You're a man!"

Jungkook shook his head violently trying to discard the thoughts that ran through his mind. His father's words pierced him making him weak.

Jungkook was so stupid.

If only he would have spoken to his mom instead of avoiding her. Protected her instead of watching her suffer the torture. If only he would have,

Seen his dad's true colors sooner.

As days passed Jungkook began avoiding his mother. He couldn't help but think that whatever his dad said was true now that he had seen it with his own eyes. He was all for protecting his mother, loving her, he trusted her more than anyone else. Jungkook loved his parents, no matter how they acted with each other. He stood up to his father, fought with him for the sake of his mother. And yet, at the end of the day he was proved wrong and his dad right.
