Mr. & Mrs. CEO || Jeon Jungkook

72|| Bam and Mom

Jeon Lilac Carter

Its around 8:30 in the night now. There's a pic drop silence. Only the ticking of the clock was heard all around the room.

And im overwhelmed. Thoughts are invading my sleep and peace and I'm not able to do anything to keep them away.

Im on the bed, lying down and looking at the ceiling. The tv that was hanging on the wall would certainly keep me entertained, but im not intrested. Heck I don't even have a phone.

*Knock knock knock*

"Mrs. Jeon?" a deep voice startled me and i sat up, looking at the door. Seconds later, i opened the door to see a man in chest harness, a few badges pinned on his shoulder and his feet were cladded in big heavy boots.

How come I missed his footsteps?

"Queen," he bowed, and I stood there being awkward. "Uh- here," he handed me a phone. "I got everything restored into this phone, all your contacts and etcetera. Your phone was badly smashed in the accident." he said I nodded. I unlocked the phone easily with a swipe. My wallpaper was the same one.

"Oh- I forgot to introduce myself, this is Felix Lee, Team Lead of the Alphas." Alpha? Might be some commando sorta group... What is he doing here then?

"King Jeon has honoured me by giving your safety as my responsibility. I'll be here for you, anytime." he bows his head and then looks up.

"Okay Felix, thank you for your service, but I really don't think I need something right now." I smile.

"That's fine ma'am, I have my contact saved in your phone for any emergencies."

"Okay, that seems fine. Nice meeting you anyway." I spread my hand out for a handshake while Felix hesitated. "Come on'." I nudged my chin towards my arm, asking him to shake it

"Honoured to meet you too, Ma'am." he slowly shaked my hand.

"Now that you have to stick to me for some time, how about you loosen up a bit?" I asked, and his eyes widened.

"Yeah, I mean- I guess we are of the same age." I shrug.

"I'm '97 born." he said, and i chirped. "Me too! See, we can drop out the formalities from now on." I smile, and he smiled back too.

"Lixie, you should smile often." I smiled again and his cheeks went red. "uh- thank you, Carter."

"Lily. Call me Lily." I corrected him. "Yeah, sure then Lily, I'll be here round the corner, see you later." he bows for the last time and walks out.

I nod at him, smiling, maybe I'm getting a new friend? Not forgetting the fact that he's a someone who's at a high position in this mafia world. Infact, one of the most trusted man of Jungkook.

"Hey! Come'ere, you naughty! Nope, nope not there! Don't! Hey come back!" his voice made me take a few silent steps towards the railing. I peeped down to look at Jungkook running towards the stairs. The footsteps were heavy, as well as hushed.

And the next thing I heard and saw was a human sized dog who managed to tackle me to the ground. Then I realised I was on the ground, plopped on my butt. Good thing we fell off a short height.

The said doggo sniffed me around. Honestly, I was scared of his sharp canines that was studded to his jaw.

"Bam! It's mom." Jungkook whispered, not moving from his place. But the last thing was definately shocked me.

Bam's ears perked up, as he looked at Jungkook. He whistled and Bam ran towards him, in between of his legs. Jungkook slowly pulled out a piece of cloth from his pocket–which i recognise really well becuz that's my scarf that went missing– and made the doggo smell it.

"Carefull," he patted Bam on his head, and he started walking towards me. Bam slowly, gently sniffed me again, and then looked at me with puppy eyes. Now, this is what puppy eyes mean.

"Apologize, buddy." Jungkook orders, and slowly walked near us. I was still on the ground, and still scared of the huge dog, but he, he is actually really cute. Bam whimpered and slowly licked my hand, made space for himself in between my legs, placed his head on my lap and then using his paws, he made my hand rest on his head.

"Pat him, that's the way he'll know you forgave him." Jungkook gently said. The flush of satisfaction spread through my system. He's speaking to me.

But, as a bad bitch I am, i ignored him, but not his words. I slowly started patting Bam, smiling at a small detail Jungkook might have missed or maybe he didn't, but still, it felt... Too good to be acknowledged as 'mom'.

Even though i just met Bam, I'm so sure he's just like Jungkook. Their similar doe eyes are so convincing. If humans could birth animals, this would've made sense.

"When did I become a mom?" I asked the doggo, and as if he understood, he looked at Jungkook to answer. Jungkook sat down near Bam's tail before answering.

"Around... 3 years ago?" I scoffed.

"Such a meanie head. Your dad kept me away from you Bamie." I pout at Bam, and he mewled back at Jungkook.

"He is a.. uhm... Trained dog... For–"

"For purposes related to Mafia." I finished his sentence for him. In this whole 'indirect' conversation, i could see him looking at me through my peripheral vision, but i couldn't bring myself to look at him. I know I would cry if i did that. And I already had enough of crying today, my head is blasting off with pain right now.

"Yeah... So I just had to train him properly, so that he wouldn't hurt his mom..." he sighs and scoots closer, and i scoff again.

"Bamie, ask mommy if it's okay if I talk to her.." he looks at me, his eyes going doe and teary.

"Bamie, let your daddy know I'm tired." I said, standing up. Bam instantly started walking behind me, wagging his tail.

"Please? For a moment?" I shook my head. Walking towards our room "I'll be here if you need anythi–"

"I'm sorry, I want to sleep." I cut him off.

"Yeah, good night, bab–"

I close the door before he could complete.

This, is supposed to be our shared bedroom. And i just shut the door, where will Jungkook sleep?

On the couch like every man does when their wives kick them out. Ahuh?

With alot of thoughts, i walk towards the bed and just lie down. I scrolled through Insta to kill some time, but it didn't work alot.

So I just decided to sleep. But it's cold. Despite these thick duvets.

It's been days I slept alone. I want Jungkook to sneak in, and sleep beside me, taking me into his arms, kissing my neck, mumbling that he loved me. Like he always did.

Jeon Jungkook, even though I'm not speaking to you right now, i just want you to know that i still love you.

Just bear with my tantrums.
