Jisoo's POV

"Wait, let me cook something for you" My mother said smiling lightly.

I looked at Jungkook as he nodded. I sat back and she went to the kitchen to prepare for dinner. Her son came to sit across us and looked at both of us. "So, you're my helf sister, huh?"

"Seems so" I replied in a sarcastic tone. He let out a hearty laugh. "Look, there's no need to be bitter with me. Mom may have decided to not be the part of your life but let me be your little brother. I've always wished fir a sibling and I'm glad to know that I have a sister"

My anger vanished in just a seconds, I couldn't help but smile at this teenage boy which was my half younger brother. "Nkw this family thing doesn't sound good to my ear but nice to meet you"

He smiled and gave me a thumbs up. "By the way, meet Jungkook, he's my husband" I said, introducing him.

"I've seen you somewhere in the news, I'm not sure where? Oh, I forget to introduce myself. My name is Jihoon"

"Pleasure to meet you, Jihoon" Jungkook said smiling.

After a while, my mother cone back with a tray in her hand and put it on the table. I bit on my lips and it becomes impossible for me to breath. She had served Ramen and Cranberry juice as well. So she still remembers?

Air caught up in my throat as I tried to stop myself from crying but all in vain. I don't know if they were happy years or not. "That's my comfort food. She always gives me this when I'm upset" Jihoon commented.

Oh.

But she used to give me these when I was a jid too.

Guess, I was wrong. She might not remember that she used to cook this for me.

"Damnit. What the heck I just saw on internet after searching your name. You're Jeon Jungkook? The freaking Billionaire?" Jihoon's mouth went wide open and he just stared at Jungkook in disbelief.

I chuckled. "You know him?"

"Come on. Who doesn't know him? Wait, can I please take a picture with you, I need to upload it on my Instagram. Damn my school mates would be jealous" He said and quickly came forward to click fees pictures with Jungkook.

Wiping off my tears, I ate Ramen and it's taste no longer felt the same. I took a glance at my mother and all she did was to pass me the cranberry juice. Maybe it wasn't the taste of food that was engraved in my memory but it was her who cooked it when she was in pain yet smiled at me. For a minute, I kept on looking at her and then I realised something. She doesn't want to mess her new life. And maybe she's right, maybe moving on from a brutal last isn't selfish. She knew that nothing will happen to me, she knew that my father won't ever hurt me, she knew that I'd live a comfortable life with my father instead of being with her and struggling. She knew that if she takes me with her then my father will haunt her, she knew that for saving herself, she has to give up on me.

And fir that I'm grateful. I would've devastated if she ruined her life just to be with me. Why would I want something like that? She's a human too. She deserves a chance to live a happy life.

After finishing the Ramen, I stood up to leave but saw that Jungkook observing the house. "Ma'am, you're still the mother of Jisoo even if you don't want anything to do with her. I know about your economics condition and the pending loans you have. I would like to repay all the loans and medical bills if your husband. Also, please let me sponsor the education of your son. If he wishes, he can either stay in Japan or Korea, I'd take care of his every need. And you don't need to stay in this rented house, let me buy you a decent home" Jungkook spoke all of sudden.
