A shoulder to rely on

Jungkook's eyes dozed off. He was sitting on the bench, still in his office outfits. His coat was hanging on one of the chair. He didn’t even touch any food since the lunch time. He called Taehyung for a lot of time. But it wasn’t picked. He thought it was weird as Tae himself said to call him.

Jimin was in his cabin, sleeping peacefully. The doctors and nurses were visiting him in every hour, checking his vital and pressure. Maybe the sleeping pill he got from the doctor finally kicked in his body.

Jimin's mother almost got unconscious awhile ago. Jullie took her to home after Mi Rae convinced her that she and Jungkook would stay in the hospital.

Mi Rae sat beside her son. He looked so tired. Actually If it was another time, she would've been concerned or worried. But right now she was feeling proud of her son.

The boy who used to fuck around, who used to be an ultimate brat to everyone, was now so responsible to his two lovers. He understood the meaning of loved ones, his true loves. Mi Rae touched his tired face as she stared at his feature. Jungkook looked so mature at that time. She remembered how those two trembling legs stood up for the first time. How he used to woobled his lips when he was sad or missed his parents. Those doe eyes held all those sad wills to his parents. Those eyes begged them to stay with him, love him, cherish him. Alas! Some people realise that when It's too late.

She couldn’t control her tears. Her eyes held them too long. 'When the sky is too sad and cries It's heart out, the dry rivers are bound to be overflowed too.' Right now Mi Rae was feeling like that too. Her guilt to not giving her son enough love and time he deserved was making her heart cry more and more. Her tear fell on Jungkook's folded hands. And his eyes snapped open.

"M-Mom?" His voice was so hoarse from the crying session earlier when he got out from Jimin's cabin.

"Oh my! Mom why are crying? " he held her cheeks with both of his hands, wiping her tears with his thumb.

"It's nothing my son...I-I'm just too much overwhelmed I guess." she gave him a small smile.

Jungkook hugged his mother instantly. She hugged him back, rubbing her hand in his back.

"Kook-ah..."

Jungkook pulled back from the hug looking at her shockingly, his doe eyes were still so adorable.

"Kook-ah? Y-you..... You used to call me by this name when I was a kid."

She nodded her head.

"I wanna call you by that name again. I wish I could go back to that time. But it’s not possible now. So I decided to cherish our present and future instead."

Both the son and mother had tears in their eyes.

"Come on now. You need to get up and eat something. Then take a shower and change your outfit. You look devastated. "

Jungkook shook his head.

"I don't have any appetite mom."

"I understand Your feeling right now Kook-ah. When your father had to go through the surgery for his appendix, I felt this much worse back then. Then your grandma took care of me, saying I Should be fit and fine. So that I can make him feel better and cured earlier. Look at Jimin. If you don't eat or if you yourself get sick, who will take care of him? Also have you forgotten about tomorrow. If Choi Yun Tak have decided to make the deal,  we need a great strategy too. Both Taehyung and Jimin need you to be stronger for them, for your lovers. They need you to keep them safe for now Kook. "

Jungkook glanced at the cabin where Jimin was sleeping peacefully.

His mom was right. He can't be weak,  not physically, not mentally.
