AGAPE LOVE

25

-Are you alright?

Hoseok asked her again. Juli just nodded her head.

-Then why are you crying?

Juli furrowed her eyebrows. Then she placed her right hand on her cheek and found it wet. She didn't realize she was crying all the time. She quickly wiped off her tears. Then she tried to bring smile on her face.
Namjoon was staring at her without any expressions but inside, he was upset seeing her like that. He knew there's something wrong with Juli's life since she lost her husband. He didn't know what her children did to her but somehow he felt the pains that was killing her from inside. He could feel it. Even he didn't know why but yeah... he felt her agony, sorrow. Namjoon glanced at the floor, slipping his hands inside the pocket of his gray trousers. Hoseok was still staring at her.

-Nothing, just listening to a song and became emotional.

Hoseok placed his hand on her shoulder patted her shoulder gently. Juli glanced at him. She smiled a little.

-Is everything alright?

-Yes, doctor Psycho. I'm alright.

Juli smiled again. Hoseok patted her shoulder again.

-Mrs. Kim?

This time, it was Namjoon who spoke. They both glanced at him.

-Yes, sir?

-You can return to your home now.

Juli was shocked.

-But sir, what about the documents and files?

Namjoon gestured her to stop.

-No need. Your children need you beside them.

He told her which made her even more shocked. Is this the man who forced her to come to office that day when Jungkook was injured? How can he change that quickly?
But he actually mentioned of her children to see her reactions. Because he was so sure that something happened with her in her home. And he was right. Everytime Juli was asked to do overwork, she was about to cry thinking of her children, specially thinking of the youngest one being alone. She hurriedly did her works to free herself from works so that she could go back to her home. But today, it's different.
Juli became quite. In a moment, her smile faded away. And her smile was replaced by  hopelessness  and sorrow. Because only she knows what happened between her and her children last night. She couldn't even share this with Jimin. She hoped that if she tells Jimin what happened he will manage a place for her to live and he will try to fix the problem. And she knows he can do that.
But Jimin didn't wait for her and his attitude today was weird. And Juli can't ask for shelter from her boss. It's awkward to ask though.

Now, she has no place to go. She has no home. She doesn't even know how she'll spend tonight, the night after tonight and  her entire life. She couldn't even brought her belongings. 

She bid goodbye and was about to leave the mansion but Hoseok stopped her and requested her to be a part of their conversation. Juli glanced at Namjoon and saw him nodding his head slowly as if telling her to stay for a few more minutes. She smiled.

They sat on couch, Namjoon and Hoseok sat on one large couch opposite to the one Juli was sitting on.
Then they started talking and they talked and talked about so many things for a longer time.
