Jungkook Lived at his grandparents house with his only brother Yugyeom It was a small house, Located outside of Boston in what some people had come to see as a bad neighborhood. It wasn't a home to either of the boys, and their grandparents didn't make things easier on them. That was why Yugyeom was almost never home, and why Jungkook almost never had access to a car. The house was like a prison, so Jungkook Liked to spend as much time as possible outside. Jungkook Liked to hear the birds sing. He liked to listen to the water trickle. He liked to observe the squirrels borrowing. Jungkook was observant. He wasn't much of a talker but he understood the world around him. He had a knack for understanding people's exact moods, without them ever even having to tell him about them.
Jeon Yugyeom had been Boston Central's shining star. He was the best quarterback the school had ever known and had delivered them two championship games. He was a stereotypical jock in high school. He'd had dirty blonde hair, Lighter than Jungkook's, quite a bit of muscle mass, shinning blue eyes, and the prettiest girlfriend on the team. From his appearance, most people assumed that he had it all together, he had a straight shot to a good college through football, nice girlfriend, and lots of popular friends, but Yugyeom struggled, even then. His freshman year of high school, his father left their family. In his absence, Yugyeom began pushing himself harder and harder on the field and trying to be away from home as much as possible. Jungkook, a middle schooler had been left to comfort their mother. Both boys dealt with things in different ways. Jungkook was altruistic, worrying about others first, and tended to show his emotions strongly, at Least around those he was comfortable with. Yugyeom was contained. Like a bomb. and bottled up his emotions til it pushed him to a breaking point senior year.
"Hello grandpa." Jungkook's small voice talked into the Landline. "How are you?"
"Went golfing with your grandmother today. You and your brother take good care of the house?"
"Yeah." Jungkook chuckled slightly. The boys didn't mind their grandparents, when they were home, but the old couple lived in the bare model home for only a few months in the summer, before spending their winters in Florida.
"How's your brother? I haven't heard. from him a while." His grandfather asked, and Jungkook lay silent, pondering a response. He knew his grandfather and his brother struggled to get along.
"I.. I can't ever really tell with him."
"Like your mother that boy. Never gives. We all saw how that worked out." Jungkook felt that Like a knife to his heart.
By Yugyeom's Junior year of high school his mother had started on drugs. Jungkook pleaded with her daily to stop, but she only got deeper. Yugyeom turned from her to push himself even harder to try to play even better. Then one day the two boys' mother had finally reached her breaking point, and overdosed on cocaine. She survived, but went to therapy, and her children were placed under the care of their grandparents.
"I'm going to an early practice." Yugyeom called. "Then I've got classes all day. I won't be back until late." Yugyeom stated, walking out the door without a goodbye.
