Poem of Tears

34

Mina sighed heavily. "What's next?"

Jungkook looked down, expressing his uncertainty. "You know my life... Whenever happiness comes, it feels like it'll vanish the next moment. I'm scared."

"Are you mad, Jungkook? Everything finally seems right now," Mina exclaimed

It was my 15th birthday, and Appa and Momma had planned a surprise party for me. But when they returned, they seemed lifeless. Our joy seemed to slip away, until Taehyung entered my life, bringing with him a dreamlike existence after a decade of suffering. Yet, now my Yoongi is bedridden, and I can't shake the feeling that I don't deserve this happiness. I'm terrified at the thought of something happening to my Jimin or...my... my Taehyung. Jungkook's face turned pale with the weight of my fears.

"Hey, Kooki," Mina gently took his hand, "What's all this talk? Nothing's going to happen. You'll be happy with Taehyung... Wait, did you just say 'Your Taehyung'...? All this time, he was just Jimin's father, and now 'My Taehyung'?" She teased Jungkook.

"Just... just forget it," he dismissed, checking the clock, "Let's get back to work."

"Kooki, let's move on from everything that happened. You deserve all the happiness. We're coming to Kim Mansion today to see Yoongi," Mina encouraged.

"Yeah," Jungkook and Mina made their way back to their seats.

"So, if something were to happen to Jimin or Taehyung, you'd leave them?" Jiho overheard their conversation.

"If anything happens to Taehyung, I'll make sure you regret it. And if you harm Jimin, I'll make sure you never harm anyone again," Hoseok smiled at Jiho, sending a shiver down his spine.

Jiho gulped, trying to form a response, "I... I mean..."

"You know why I'm not firing you, right?" Hoseok leaned in, "Just because your father pleaded with Hyung to keep you here. But if you try anything devious, I'll erase you from this place just like I did with my grandma," Hoseok smiled, a hint of seriousness in his tone.

"You?!" Jiho stared in disbelief.

"That's right," Hoseok winked and hummed a tune, sauntering back to his office.

"You're improving a lot," Kai remarked to Yoongi.

"I should thank Hoseok," Yoongi smiled.

"My omega," Hoseok sent a finger heart.

"I want to kill him as soon as possible; that's why I'm improving so fast," Yoongi added.

"He's planning to kill me. Hyung, you should save me," Yoongi said to Taehyung.

"Shut up," Taehyung retorted to his brother.

Jungkook entered with a tray of tea and sat beside Taehyung.

"Sorry, I need to check an important email. I'll join you later," Taehyung excused himself, walking to his room.

Jungkook stared at the path Taehyung took

"Momma, I need tea," Jimin said.

"No, drink this," Jungkook gave glasses of milk to Jimin and Miya.

"I don't want milk," Jimin pouted.

"Jimina, don't be stubborn," Jungkook advised.

"I don't want anything. I'm going," Jimin stomped toward his room

"Like father, like son. I'm the only good boy in this home," Hoseok nodded.

"Should I kill him now?" Yoongi gritted his teeth

******

Baby....Jungkook called Jimin "

"No, you ..... scold me in front of them"

"Baby, they're our family too."

"So what?"

"But I don't scold you

"No." He pouted, looking away.

"I know. Your Jinni went to his house. That's why you're upset with everyone."

"Yes. I want to sleep with Dada," he said.

"No. I mean, I can't sleep alone here."

"Then come, let's go sleep with Dada."

"Me? No."

"No, come. Let's sleep with Dada," Jimin caught Jungkook's hand and pulled him along. Jungkook didn't resist. He wanted to reconcile with Taehyung.
