Thick black dress shoes, perfectly ironed clothing, and a firm look that could strike fear into even the bravest of people. There stood Jeon Jungkook, the "long lost" Jeon sibling. His jaw held so much tension, almost as much tension as there was between him and his mother at the moment.

This is how I imagine him looking
*****
Jennifer was speechless. He came back a week earlier than expected for one, and for two, when did he join dress like this? Who was this?

"You gonna let me in or are you gonna stare like a fish.? I have heavy bags to carry." His tone wasn't a loving one. It was more like he was talking to some mutual professional at work or soemthing.

She quickly moved aside for him to walk in and he immediately disappeared upstairs before anyone else could see him.

Jennifer just made her way back to the kitchen still gaping like a fish.

"Who was at the door hon?" Mark asked, starting to become concerned.

She gave a fake tight lipped smile and choked out the words. "Jungkook is here...early."

Jane felt like crying. She was already under the same roof as him again. He was here? Really here? "Where is he I want to-"

"Sweet pea I think we should give him a minute in his own room."

Jungkook plopped his suitcase on the bed and began to unzip it. Button ups, t shirts, even a suit or two, hoodies, sweaters, his wardrobe was much better than it used to be. He started hanging and folding his clothes up into their appropriate spots.

His heart felt heavy. Coming back to South Korea gave him an odd feeling. Whenever he left 7 years ago, he immediately took off to the U.S.

When he first arrived he was still up to no good. It wasn't until he got a job offer from some kind boy named Jake that he started to slowly but surely get his act together. Within the past two years he got a more serious job with the FBI. That is part of why he actually came back to Korea.

Jakes family took him in as their own. Jake started to develop a crush on Jungkook and after months of doting on him, the two started a relationship.

Jungkook really did love him. But after almost 6 years of being together, Jungkook informed Jake and his family that he needed to go back and patch things up with his family. Jake told Jungkook that he couldn't stand to do long distance, and he broke up with Jungkook.

This was only a week ago so it was still quite fresh. Jungkook decided he wasn't interested in relationships. Why should he? Clearly people just kept giving up on him. First his family, then Jake.

A loud knock interrupted his thoughts just as he finished unpacking. "Come in I guess."

He wasn't expecting Jimin. A furious jimin.

A punch nailed him in the face. And hard. "Fuck-"

"Okay I deserve that..." he held his cheek and tears swelled up in his eyes. Jimin was an adult. He had grown up so much since he last saw him. He couldn't even imagine what Jane looked like.

"This isn't your room." Jimin spat. Jungkook then took notice of some rather feminine looking decor located around the room. "Does Jane stay in here now, I just unpacked.,,." He did not feel like relocating all of his stuff.

Jimin refused to look at him as he started to yank Jungkooks stuff of hangers. "No actually. She's still in the bedroom next to this one."

Jungkook held his jaw. "Be careful those are expensive clothes! And does that mean you're staying here?"

Jimin shook his head and yanked the clothing harder off the hanger. "Nope." He threw it all back in the suitcase. "You can live out of your suitcase and sleep on the couch for all I care-"

"Wait if it's not Jane or you— then who is it.?"

Jimin finally decided to look at him. Jungkook still made the same scrunched up bunny face when he was confused. "Doesn't matter. It's a friend of Jane and I's who lives here."

He felt nauseas as he remembered the last time he saw that look on Jungkooks face.

7 years ago...

Jungkook chased after his father. "D-dad it wasn't me this time o-okay? Come on...give it back! I'm holding it for a friend."

His dad whipped his head at Jungkook and smacked him. A look of confusion spawned on his face. Jimin was the only one who truly noticed it.

"I caught you hitting a fucking crack pipe yesterday Jungkook. Jesus fucking Christ..you are not my son...I don't know what happened to you..."  mark was furious.

Jane was clutching onto Jimin as she cried in fear from all of the yelling.

Jungkook would've felt shame and guilt if his mind wasn't racing at the thought of when to get his next fix.

"You know what Jungkook.?" Jennifer said with spite, "get out. I'm tired of you hurting us. LOOK AT YOUR SIBLINGS?! I mean you've done nothing but bring us trouble and shame. You stole from us to get more drugs, and you've continued to be a burden..,Leave."

****

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "So they get the room but not me? Look maybe this friend won't mind me staying in here.  I'll use a blow up mattress on the floor or something. Just talk to them for me?"

Jimin ignored him and stormed out of the room. He walked past Jane who felt the courage to peak around the corner. "Hi Jungkook.,," she whispered.

He looked up and felt like crying. Fuck,,he missed out on getting to see her grow up. "Jane,," he pulled her into a tight hug.

Jane always had trouble holding grudges. She didn't think it was healthy. They cried in eachothers arms for a good 5 minutes before she noticed his stuff everywhere. "You still can't pack for the life of you?"

"No...jimin told me this wasn't my room to use...and told me to live out of my suitcase. He then preceded to throw my shit everywhere."

She sighed and started to gather the clothes up. "My friend Tae is using this room. But that doesn't mean you can't at least use the closet and bathroom. You can sleep on a cot in the living room...Then use the closet in here for necessities. Unless you can convince him to use the cot...which...don't ask cause he's too nice and he'll do it."

Jungkook just nodded, feeling a little overwhelmed. "Can I atleast nap in my old bed for a minute.?"

She gave a fond smile and patted his head. "Of course."
