A Child's Vision | Yeri × Jungkook

+twenty-four

"Jungkook?" Yeri asked when they were sitting on the roof of Jungkook's apartment building. 

Jungkook turned to her and gave her a small smile. "Yeah?" 

Yeri sighed. "We got a lawyer today." 

Jungkook nodded. "I'm sorry about all of this. I wish that it never happened." 

Yeri shrugged. "There is nothing that we can do anymore. But there is one thing that I wanted to ask."

"What's that?" Jungkook cocked his head to the side. 

"You said that you would leave with us, right?" Yeri confirmed. Jungkook nodded right away. "Well, do you think that you could manage us when we leave?" 

Jungkook nodded right away again. "Of course. But do you know where you will be going? Do you have any other company that you are thinking about going to?"

Yeri shook her head. "We haven't thought that far ahead yet." 

Jungkook nodded and looked at his lap. "I will stay with you, Yeri. No matter what."

Yeri gave a smile that she thought could look silly, but she didn't care. 

Jungkook sighed. "Yeri, there is actually another reason why I wanted you to come here." 

Yeri almost frowned when he said this. It wasn't usual when Jungkook asked favors and this favor seemed to bother him. 

"I don't think I have ever told you about my parents, have I?"

Yeri immediately shook her head. He had no reason to talk to her about his parents. 

Jungkook sighed again. "They died two years ago. They were in the car with Jimin and I. They were actually picking us up since we got drunk at some bar. I can't remember anything about the accident other than my parents flying out of the windshield."

Yeri was horrified. The tears started to pool in her ducts and she sniffled for a second. Jungkook noticed that she was crying and gave her a sad smile. "I'm sorry, Yeri. I didn't mean to make you cry." Jungkook rubbed the tears away from her face. 

Jungkook looked down and considered whether or not it was a good idea to tell Yeri the real reason why he asked her to come. He built up the courage. "Yeri, I want you to tell me what actually happened that night. I need to know if my parents died because of the car accident or if Jimin had something to do with it."

Her eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Why do you want to know that?"

Jungkook bit his lip. "With all of the things that he has been doing, I wouldn't be shocked. He tried to kill you because of some obsession that he has for you. I just need to know if my parents are dead because of him." 

Tears escaped Yeri like a dam breaking. She wanted nothing more but to give Jungkook closure, but what was she supposed to do if Jimin actually had some involvement? Was she supposed to tell him and let Jungkook beat himself up for the rest of his life for letting someone like that into his life. Yeri knew that she couldn't lie to him about the result of her vision. There was no right answer.

Finally, Yeri picked up her head and stared at Jungkook with her burning eyes. He was looking at her with desperation that she hated to see. Yeri knew that Jungkook wouldn't ask for something like this unless he was desperate. She nodded in agreement. "I'll do it." 

Jungkook game her a sad smile. Jungkook closed his eyes and Yeri closed her own. Yeri's head started to burn from what she assumed to be Jungkook's last memories of his parents. The two figures had the pair of boys hung over their shoulders. Jungkook's parents threw Jimin and Jungkook in the back seat of their car. With Jungkook's father in the driver's seat and his mother in the passenger seat, they set off in the car without buckling their seatbelts. 

When the truck coming from the opposite direction hit them head on, Yeri noted that the driver of the truck seemed to be drinking as well. Yeri frowned when she saw Jungkook's parents being thrown out of the car. The last thing she was the slumped figures of Jimin and Jungkook, looking as if nothing ever happened. 

Yeri opened her eyes to see that Jungkook was crying. "Was it bad? Why did you look so sad?"

Yeri bit her lip and her voice cracked when the first word came out of her mouth. "It wasn't Jimin. You were both passed out in the back seat. It was just a drunk driver." 

Jungkook immediately looked relieved. "Yeri, I seriously appreciate you doing this for me." He grabbed Yeri and pulled her into a long hug while she continued to bawl her eyes out.

Mina and Sohye sat in front of each other, both hovering over their person bowls of ramen. Mina slurped the last bit of noodles from her cup. She sighed and smiled into the night sky. "I'm glad that we still do this." 

"Why wouldn't we?" Sohye asked. "We started in 2016, and nothing will stop us from our late night ramen outings." 

Mina offered a small giggle and Sohye put down her own bowl. "I heard about you nullifying your contract." 

Mina gave a small nod. "We didn't have the support from the company. It just wasn't meant to be." 

"Do you have a company in mind?" Sohye asked. 

Mina shook her head. "We barely hired our lawyer. We haven't really talked to any other companies." 

Sohye smiled brightly. "I was hoping that you would say that." Mina cocked her head in confusion. "I talked to my dad about having you guys come to my company. He said that if you guys were willing to form a group with me, that you could join the company."

"Aww, do you have to be in the group?" Mina teased. Sohye pouted, but Mina quickly offered her gratefulness. "We would love to come to your company. Sohye, you seriously don't understand how much all of this means to us." 

Sohye gave her award winning smile. "I'm just glad that we will be able to hang out more."

A/N: For those of you who don't know who Kim Sohye is, she is a member of I.O.I and she actually promoted with Mina, Yoojung and Doyeon. However, her and Mina grew really close with their love for food. I could relate to these girls!!!
