Nothing In This World

Chapter-27

"Jungkook isn't that a Celtic knot.", pointing at the younger's neck.

Jungkook freezes in his place unable to move anymore. He curses himself for not being aware. He hangs his head down not knowing how to answer his eomma. He didn't want to lie but was scared for his eomma's reaction.

Jungkook flinches when he hears his Eomma shout,

"For fuck sake Jungkook I asked you a question. Answer me!"

"Isn't that a Celtic knot? Who gave it to you?",

And the little color from Jungkook drained out miserably in fear and panic.

___________

"Eomma, What are you talking about? I just went to shopping with Yug Bam and bought it for myself", said Jungkook wanting to convince his mother and was proud at himself for not stuttering.

Mrs. Jeon looks at him in disbelief and starts, "That's a Celtic Knot----"

"And I bought it for myself.", cuts off Jungkook as a matter of fact and with a more serious face.

Mrs. Jeon opens her mouth to continue but stops when she hears a car pull over. She takes in a deep breath and says,

"You know you will be facing consequences for whatever you are doing now in the future right?

Jungkook looks at her with his eyes wide open and the other sighs. 

"Jungkook make sure you know what you are doing. And ask yourself if you are strong enough to face the future because everyone knows, 'Nothing is hidden under the sun' ", says Mrs. Jeon before heading towards the door to attend Mr. Jeon who might arrive any second.

Jungkook stands there too mortified to even blink his eyes. He didn't know how to react. All he knew was what his eomma told was true.

'Nothing is hidden under the sun.' The truth would eventually come out. There's no way this is going to be in secret for the rest of their lives. And before his mind could race towards other thoughts he heard his father's voice,

"Looks like someone finally understood their rules."

Jungkook rubs away the numbness in his eyes and turns around to face his father not before he hides the chain properly. He finds Mrs. Jeon already gone probably into the kitchen. His eyes follow his father as he sees the latter make his way towards the couch.

"Yes appa.", replies Jungkook standing in front of his father with his gaze boring holes into the floor like a thief caught stealing. Well probably that was the aura his father carried making people feel guilty of their action even if they have done nothing wrong.

No wonder he is a police officer thought Jungkook.

"Seems like you've just arrived . Go freshen up lad, and Come down for dinner.", says his father and Jungkook abides to what his father says.

Jungkook closes the door behind him as he gets inside his room. He plops his bag down beside his bed and makes his way into the washroom. He stands before the sink and looks at himself in the mirror.

He looked exhausted too exhausted both mentally and physically. His eomma's words were echoing inside his head. He closed his eyes tight not wanting to cry anymore. He is supposed to be happy today. Happy to finally have Taehyung as a part of him. 

He shakes his head trying to get rid of all the worst scenarios inside his head and most importantly his eomma's words. He thought he could finally have contend sleep after many days. 

His turns open the tap only to cup his hands under the now flowing water, splashing it onto his face. He let more water splash onto his face as an attempt to stop the frustrated tears leaving his eyes. He knew he failed but let his mind think that they weren't tears anymore, it's just water dripping down his face.
