Crossroads ( ON HOLD)

Ch -7

Flashback continued eighteen years ago :

" Namjoon why are you saying this ?" Eunbo asked.

"Because mom died because of him !!" Namjoon said irritated.

The room fell into a heavy silence. Their grandmother's eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Namjoon. "Namjoon... it's not like that-"

But she was cut off by Hoseok. "Yes, it's like that!"

"Hoseok....." Eunbo whispered her voice trembling.

"Boys, Jungkook is just a baby. He didn't do anything wrong, Don't say that !" Sunghoon said trying to make them understand.

But Namjoon just shook his head, his eyes welling up with tears. "If he wasn't born, mom would still be alive. She died saving him."

Jimin's face scrunched up in anger. "I don't want to see him either. He's the reason mom is gone and Dad is not with us !" His tears fall from his eyes.

"That's not true, Jimin-ah. You can't blame Jungkook for what happened." Eunbo said.

But Jimin just turned and ran out of the room, leaving the others in stunned silence.

Seeing all this their grandmother took a deep breath before saying. "Your father will be fine." She said." Losing your mother was a tragedy, but blaming Jungkook won't bring her back. She loved you all dearly, and she would want you to love each other."

Hoseok turned away, his fists clenched still to tear streaming down "It's not fair. None of this is fair."

Eunbo stepped closer to Namjoon and Hoseok, her eyes pleading. " Babies , Please. Your mom wouldn't want you guys to hate each other. We need to stay together.He is your brother too your youngest brother!"

"No ! He is not ! Taehyung is our youngest brother he is no one to us !" Namjoon said being irritated.

" Namjoon stop it !" Their grandmother said angrily as she looked at Jin and Yoongi. " Seokjin ! Yoongi why you guys are not saying anything ??? "

Jin and Yoongi exchanged glances, but said nothing and looked down.

" Wait !? Are you guys thinking the same ?" She asked but didn't get any answer.

" Seokjin answer your grandma !" Sunghoon said.

Jin sighed finally speaking ,his voice barely above a whisper. "It's not that we hate Jungkook... It's just... every time we look at him, we remember what we lost."

Yoongi nodded in agreement. "He is right so it's better and you take him with you !"

" Yoongi....you .." Their grandmother was about to say but interrupted by Sunghoon, who came closer to the boys saying. "Listen to me, all of you. Your mother loved Jungkook just as much as she loved each one of you. She gave her life to protect him, not because he was the reason she was in danger, but because she was a mother who loved her child. Just like she loved you."

Hoseok sniffed, trying to hold back more tears. "But it's so hard. Every time I look at him, I think about Mom and dad ! So just please please take him away from here !" He cried along with Namjoon.Eunbo sat down beside them, wrapping her arms around the boys her own tears streaming down.

Their grandmother's eyes became teary as she looked at her grandsons, but before she could say anything, Jin continued.

"We don't hate Jungkook but it's hard to see our brothers getting hurt to seeing him so it will be best, if you take Jungkook with you, they won't have to see him every day and won't have to remember what we lost." e He said without looking at any one," And also we can't give him the love he deserves, not now. Every time we look at him, we'll think of mom and dad."
