Am I Not your brother, hyung?

Chapter 20

After Jungkook took out his anger and pain at Kai, his heart was at peace. But his soul? His soul was still burning in despair, he didn't know how to soothe that fire. For sure he got his closure, he got to punish his bully which pacified his heart, but his soul longed for comfort not closure.

He was just sitting in his room, staring blankly at the gate when a knock was heard, and soon after Jin came inside.

"Kook, baby some of your injuries  might leave a scar so I have called one of my friends who is a skin specialist. Is it fine for my baby if he sees your wound?" asked Jin very softly, earlier he had examined each and every wound of Jungkook, and he was sure that the ones made by the iron rod would surely never fade.

Jungkook wasn't exactly paying attention, so he just nodded nonetheless and Jin took that as his cue to call his friend.

With the doctor, came Yoongi and Namjoon inside too trailing like the doctor's tail.

"Can I take off your shirt Kook?" asked Jin, while Namjoon settled himself over the bed, right beside Jungkook and side hugging him.

"Hmm," just hummed Jungkook in reply.
Jin with the utmost care, gently took off his shirt and the doctor gasped loudly.

"Goshh, how cruel can someone be." gasped the doctor in horror, he has never ever seen something so horific in his entire career. Jungkook's focus now shifted from the door to the doctor as he thought, ' Why is he overreacting so much, aren't these normal wounds? I am sure hyung must have gotten them too when they were my age, appa would have restricted them to fight too just like they restrict me right?'

The doctor wore his gloves, and tried to touch the wounds and examine them when Jungkook flinched badly. He looked at everyone terrified thinking he will again get punished, first he complains that his hyungs do nothing for him and now that they have called a doctor for him, he is being so ungrateful.

"So...sorry," apologised Jungkook, Namjoon side hugged him and rubbed circles on his arms while the doctor continued his work.
Yoongi just stood their silently, observing everything.

Once the doctor was done, he prescribed a few lotions for Jungkook to apply over the wounds once they have dried. Yoongi and Namjoon went off to pay the doctor and see him off while Jin remained there only.

He was afraid Jungkook might take some wrong step if left alone even for a single second and he definitely didn't want it.

He had also noticed just how lost Jungkook was that he didn't even hiss when the doctor was applying the burning antiseptic.

"Kook, my bun... Pl-please don't be like this, hyung is getting scared... Come on talk to hyung, cry all you want but please don't be quiet... Just say something please..." begged Jin, getting more desperate each passing moment. The awry silence was eating him out, he was dying to hear his brother's giggles.

Jungkook didn't say anything for another 5 minutes, just silently sat on the lap of Jin.

"If hyung didn't come, I just  would have been raped right? And you all would have never got to know about it, right hyung? Why will you even want to know, I am not Taehyung na, my nothing is important." spoke Jungkook in one breathe, while Jin was speechless not knowing how to reply. Jungkook was right, they made sure to get each and every update of Taehyung but then why didn't they do the same for Jungkook. How could they just assume him to be fine just like that.

"If Taehyung wouldn't have lied that day, I would never have to face this day. What wrong did I do to him huh? All I did was to save him, now that must also be my fault right hyung? Because how can Taehyung be ever wrong, it's always Jungkook who is so damn disobedient and a complete brat." said Jungkook still staring at the door, not sparing even a single glance at Jin. He was mentally scolding himself for again bursting out in front of Jin like that, when he knew so well that after a few days everything will again back to how it was and he will again just be a bodyguard.

Jin was preplexed, he was struggling to bring out proper words which would assure Jungkook.

"No kook, it's neither your fault nor Taheyung's fault. It's just Kai's fault and our fault for not paying equal attention on both of you... My baby is not a brat, he is my bestest baby... This tragedy was in our destiny, we can't change it... If it was meant for you, it would happen anyhow, no matter how try you hard to alter it... I am not telling you just for what happened today, it is for every problem you will face at each step in life... You just need to have faith in yourself, hmm?" spoke Jin softly, trying to make Jungkook understand his points.
Jungkook for the first time, felt Jin's words to be genuine and understood him a little.

But what Jin didn't know was, that they had neglected Jungkook to the point where he has started getting jealous of his twin, but after today's incident beside the tree of jealousy, the seed of hatred for his twin was sown.

It was about a week since Kai had molested Jungkook, a lot changed in that week for Jungkook for the better.
Jin had asked Namjoon to apply for sick leave for Jungkook for 2 weeks at school , and for a month for training. Jungkook was honestly glad for the break, ignoring the reason because of which he got it at the first place.
Jin had also appointed a guard, whose only duty was to work as the sweeper in the school and look after both Jungkook and Taehyung.

Kai was sent beaten to his home the very next day only.

However a lot of changes could be seen in Jungkook, he had started avoiding everyone. He would spend maximum time in his room, either studying or staring out of the window.
And even at the rare moments he would come out to eat, he would make sure to avoid any sort of contact with Taehyung.

Taehyung could sense it too, but he didn't know the reason and everytime he tried talking to Jungkook he would be already in his room.
No one had told Taehyung about what happened with Jungkook, so he assumed that Jungkook was angry over how he had pushed him earlier.

But the best thing that changed for Jungkook was Namjoon.

It was just another meaningless day for Jungkook when Namjoon came to his room.

Namjoon didn't say anything just made Jungkook lay beside him with his head over his hand and then lay beside him too, without letting Jungkook react he spoke, " You know Kook... When I was 8 years old, I used to always sneak out of the house and play in the park till late in night... Appa had scold me a lot about it, but I would never listen to him... I-I continued doing that for about 2 months when one day something really terrible happened.
Some old men caught me and molested me, I was also almost raped by them just like you... But an angel came and saved me, till now I am searching for him... But you know, at that time I was so young that I didn't even know what happened with me, I thought they were just some bad uncles and didn't tell anyone about it, not even Jin Hyung... Even till now no one knows about it, welp now you do!!

But when I got about your age, I understood what happened with me, I felt disgusted with myself. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror, I thought as if I had done a crime too naive to understand that I was the victim... I don't want you to be the same baby, one incident can't define you, it can't change your life... You gotta be strong and challenge life at each problem it gives you... I am sure my baby can do it right?"asked Namjoon, and the next second he felt Jungkook tightly hugging him. Both of them cried in each other's embrace, soothing the comfort and solace, empathising each other.

Since then, Namjoon's equal action towards Taehyung and Jungkook were the most evident. He didn't repeat the mistake of paying more attention to Jungkook now and lesser to Taehyung, rather gave it equally to both of them.

And even that much love was like an ocean for Jungkook.
