What is a home, if not the first place you learn to run from
__
After a four-hour drive, filled with Namjoon's advice, playlists and stories from their college era, they arrived to Busan, heading to Jungkook's childhood home."It's just around the corner now." Jungkook stated as he approached his street and finally spotted his childhood home.
It was old and small, without any renovations done, just as he remembered it, however it just seemed too neglected. Jungkook pulled over in front of it and the two got out of the car, staring at the "ruin" in front of them.
"Are you sure this is your dad's house?" Namjoon questioned as it clearly seemed the house wasn't in nowhere near a condition for someone to live in it.
"What kind of question is that?" Jungkook answered, denying the rest. He approached the front door, followed by Namjoon who just stayed silent.
As Jungkook was about to knock on the door, he flinched at a familiar voice."Jungkook? Is that you?" A lady asked, approaching the two. She was his old neighbor.
"Oh- Mrs. Lee! It's so nice to see you again, I-I was just looking for my mom and dad, have you seen them around recently?" Jungkook asked.
"Oh- your father? Oh dear, how do I even put this? Y-you don't know?" She asked sincerely.
"Know what? Is he in rehab again? Where's my mom?" He asked in confusion, while Namjoon just listened, knowing the news probably won't be so great.
"Your father passed away last year. It was liver failure- I thought Jaebum told you. I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this." She said quietly. "Your mom, she left after they had the funeral. I'm not sure I know where she is darling."
Jungkook just stared at her in utter disbelief. He expected everything but this. He felt so betrayed that it went without any reaction.
"Is there something I can do for you?" The lady asked but Namjoon interrupted.
"No, thank you so much. We will be on our way now." Namjoon flashed a polite smile at the lady and gently grabbed Jungkook by the shoulder, leading him back to the car. "Come on let's get out of here buddy." Namjoon sat on the driver's seat and Jungkook sat in the passenger's, keeping quiet for the most of the ride home, repressing the rage he felt towards the whole world at that moment.
