Just a Caretaker? ||TAEKOOK||

Jimin and I went to the garden behind the mansion. He was walking towards somewhere. 

"Where are we going?" I asked, but Jimin didn't replied and kept walking. I followed him silently.

And, then we saw a gravestone. Not a normal gravestone, but  gravestone of  Jeon Jungkook

Jeon Jungkook

1st September 1997- 1st September 2005

A great and lovely son. A good friend.

You will always be in our memories.

"Jeon Jungkook, the only child of Mr. and  Mrs. Jeon. Jungkook was born after 20 years of their marriage. So, he was apple of their eyes. Jungkook was a very calm person, he didn't used to talk to anyone that much. He was always in his own world. One of the reason being this mansion. As you know this mansion is almost 1 km away from the normal town. So, he didn't had any friends before. " Jimin said, and i was paying all my attention on his words. 

"Well, about me. I was a friend of him. How did i ended up becoming his friend? Just like now, all the grocery items used to come from our shop. Obviously, at that time my father used to run the shop. And i used to tag along, because i loved the infrastructure of this mansion. And, one day when i was roaming around the mansion. I saw someone laying on the grass in this same garden.  That someone was none other than Jungkook. ANd me being an extrovert + clingy person tried to make him my friend. Obviously, he ignored me at first.  But, i was older than him so i got better patience than him. And i still used to go to him,  every day. And slowly he got used to my presence, and then he started liking my presence. Even though, he didn't said anything, but i could see it. " Jimin said, a smile adoring his lips when he was talking. 

"Older? Exactly how old are you?" I asked.

"I turned 24 on 13th october 2019." Jimin, said.

"Wow , you are older than me by 2 months." I said. But then a question striked up in my mind when i asked.

"How did you knew? I mean, he never initiate any conversation, right?" I said, to which Jimin replied, " Action speaks louder than words, Taehyung."

"One day, i wasn't able to  go there as i fell sick because of getting drenched in rain. And guess what happened?" Jimin asked me, and i thought for a moment then said," He asked about your absence when you came back?"

"No?" Jimin said.

"Umm, then maybe he came with your father to see you?" I asked, but no it was also lie.

"Tell me yourself?" I said, in annoyed tone.

"Hmm. So, it was raining that day and i was about to fall asleep. And, i saw the windows open, so i decided to close the window. When i was about to close the window, i saw him. Standing there in middle of the rain, huffing like he just got there running. And guess what i saw in his hands?" Jimin asked me, and i shook my head in negative response that i don't know.

"In his hand, there was a page. And it was the same page, on which i  drew a map from his house to my house's route. "  Jimin chuckled, and a small smile adored my lips as well.
