Falling For A Single Mother KTH FF ✔️

Chapter 39

Y/N's P.O.V

Silence engulfs us like a thick blanket, unasked questions glide across, although I would have loved to curtail my grotesque past, I know it's time I let my people get glimpse of it.

"I had an elder sister, eldest among us three. " I nervously shift my gaze towards Jungkook, who is sitting beside me on the driver seat, to gauge his reaction. He dips his chin but halts when realise I used past tense to introduce my siste. His eyes connects with mine curiously, but the rising gitters in my nerves make it hard for me to hold the contact for long, hence I divert my gaze towards my fidgeting fingers.

"She was 8 years older than me. And like every sisters' bond, our bond was impeccably deep. Mom had always been engaged in work, leaving me and yoongi under the care of eonni." I take a deep breath when a knot tightens in my chest, "I was in my last year of high school when she got married. By that time she was living with in Daegu for her job and would come home, busan, ones in a month." I pause when the memories of those time floods my mind, deep breath, Y/N.

"He was her senior, and she had introduced him to us after 6 months of dating. I had just entered in my high school, and was ardent reader so I was above cloud nine when eonni introduced him as someone whom she loves." A wishful smile cover my lips when a picture of my sqealing self flashes infront of me.

"I wasn't a shy person, so on the first meeting I formed a good bond with him. He was sweetest and was so observant of eonni's need and actions that everyone in the family was supportive of their relationship. He was open minded, and you wouldn't believe but it was him who helped me to decide to opt for writting as my career. By the time I was in 2nd year of my college, eonni was expecting her first child. " I sniff away my tears, blinking away to clear my vision. I let out a shuddering breadth when Jungkook envelopes my hand, and give it a firm sqeeze.

"I was beyond happy, being the youngest child I had always wished for a younger sibling, but mom didn't agree for another child, so I promised I will treat her child as if it were my younger sibling. So without telling anyone I hopped onto bus." I laugh softly at my younger self decision and wipe my spilling tears.

"In excitment, I forgot that both of them will be at office but to luck he was at home. For the first time I saw him so distorted, he had red eyes, disheveled hairs, and was stumbling when he opened the door. We were close, and my thought after seeing him that way was that he's sick." My hands tremble under Jungkook's hold, and I fist them. My lungs weigh down under the growing pressure in my chest, but I try not to let that deter me.

"I rushed to his side and helped him to get tot he couch. He didn't ask or say anything, just gazed at me. Still thinking he was under weather, I brought him pills and water. He gulped them and that's when I started feeling conscious of my appearance. He didn't lift his eyes from me the entire time. When I asked if eonni was home, he patted the seat beside him, I followed his gesture. He was like my older brother. And I try not to think he h-ad other intentions, b-ut-" my chest heaves frantically, and I try to take deep breaths.

"Deep breath, Y/N, you are not alone." Jungkook's soothing voice pacify some of my inner revolts, and I try to focus on present rather than past.

"h-he had other intention, when I sat beside him, he shifted closer, closer till there was no space between us, and it was the first time his promixity unsettled me. I shifted to other side, and he didn't make any advance. I asked once again when would eonni arrive, and he smiled saying she will be here in few minutes. I nodded and stood up, making excuse that I was hungry and would search for snack." I close my eyes when cold shivers trail my spine, freezing my nerves from inside.

"I-i was making sandwhich when I heard his footsteps, and I t-turned around to ask if he needed something when he hugged me." Jungkook's grip on my hand tightens and I use that a distraction to calm my erractic beats, taking another deep inhale, "It wasn't the innocent hug, he w-was all over me, h-his weight, h-his arms- he had me pinned to the island. I pushed him away instantly, my eyes widened and heart went wild in my ribs when he let out a mirthless laugh, his gaze unerving from my figure." I close my eyes, and feel the tears dripping from me when the moment became real in my mind.
