Just One Day [Taekook]

62) Longing

"What are you thinking about, Hyejin-ah?" Jiwoo asked, concerned, seeing his wife's worried face.

"Yeobo, don't you think that our Kook has changed? It's been a week since he came back home. But, he barely comes out of his room until someone forces him and he never talks on his own unless we ask him something and even then he only gives one word answers. He is not like our old Kook, who used to always smile and talk nonstop. But, now all he does is stay inside his room. I'm worried about him, Yeobo. I miss our old Kook. I miss his smile."

"I get what you're saying, Hyejin-ah. Even I'm seeing the changes in him. But, you're forgetting that he has gone through so much at such a young age. We can't even imagine how he must be feeling right now. So, instead of trying to make him like before, maybe we should give him some time." Jiwoo replied, trying to console his wife.

"You're right. Not only did our baby suffer an accident and lose his memory, but it also happened right before his wedding. Do you remember how excited he was for his wedding and how he spent months planning everything? But everything was ruined and fate played such a cruel joke on us. Now, enough is enough. Our baby has suffered enough. Now, it is time for him to smile once again. And as his parents it's our responsibility to make that happen." Hyejin said with determination.

"What are you saying, Hyejin-ah? I don't get it." Jiwoo said, confused.

"But, I do." They both turned around at the sudden voice, seeing Minjae standing behind them.

"I know what we should do, Eomma. Even I can't see my Kook like this. And I have decided something and I want to talk to you both and ask your permission, before I talk to Kook."

"Jae, son, you don't need our permission for anything. We're sure that when it concerns our Kook, you'll always decide what is best for him. So, you can do whatever you want. You have our permission. Now tell us what you have in mind." Minjae explained his plan to the elder Jeon's and by the time he was done, they had a big smile on their face.

"I knew if anyone could bring Kook out of his depression, then it is you. We trust you son. And I hope that this plan works." Hyejin said, finally relieved.

"Alright then, I'll go get Kook. We have a lot to do." Minjae said, leaving the room with a big smile on his face.

"Our Kook is really lucky to have someone like Minjae as his fiance, isn't he?" Hyejin said, looking at the disappearing back of the younger.

"That's true. But, he's lucky too to get our Kook as his life partner." Jiwoo countered.

"Ok, ok. Let's just say that they're both lucky to have each other." Hyejin said, admitting defeat. But she was happy for both of her sons.

"Eunie, Princess, please eat something, baby. Look, it's your favourite strawberry pancake. You love this, don't you? Just one bite. Please, princess." Taehyung begged for the hundredth time. It's been a week since Jungkook left and to say that things are bad in their home would be an understatement. When Eunie woke up on the very first day, the first person she had asked for was Jungkook. At that time Taehyung managed to coax and convince the little girl saying that Jungkook had gone out for some important work and would be back in some time.
