After the bell had rang, I decided to head to Jungkook's house again as I remember what Yugyeom told me.

Flashback
"So what happened to Jungkook?" I asked.

"Well... It all started 3 years ago where Jungkook's mother had passed away." Yugyeom said. I immediately furrowed my eyebrow when I heard Jungkook's mother had passed away.

"Passed away? But recently, Jungkook's mother made Jungkook a drink..." I said as I recalled the day where I'm having a maths test.

See... Now you get a cold. I told you not to overwork yourself. Here drink this.

What's this?

It is lemon honey water. It can help to cure your flu.

How you know I got a flu today?

Er... pure luck. My... mom made it for me and since you are sick and I don't feel like drinking it, you can have it.

"Impossible. Jungkook's mother got into a car accident when she was on the way for work and she died right on the spot." Yugyeom said as he furrowed his eyebrow back, probably confused how could Jungkook's mother made Jungkook a drink when she's already dead.

Shrugging the thoughts away for now, I continue to asked Yugyeom to continue the story.

"Anyway, what happened next?"

"Since that day, Jungkook's father became depressed. Everyday, he would always come home drunk and since Jungkook's father promise his wife that he will make sure Jungkook will have a brighter future with good academics, he became more stricter on his studies. Whenever Jungkook did poorly in his test or I can say did not get the top in class, Jungkook's father will vent his anger on him by abusing and hitting him unless he managed to be the top in class. So that's how Jungkook got all those bruises and cuts." Yugyeom said before letting out a sigh. Yugyeom also must be worried for Jungkook...

"How can we help him?" I asked since I already know what is happening to Jungkook, I want to help him.

Yugyeom let out a huge sigh as he slowly shake his head. "There's nothing we can do to help him. We had tried many ways. Jungkook tried to talk to his father and even tried to run away from home but it did not work out well. Jungkook got beaten even more..." Yugyeom said.

"No... There's must be a way... " I muttered as I tried to think positive. "Jungkook had changed... He used to be a happy and cheerful boy but after his mother had passed away, he became depressed too. His father is the only family member he have now so he tried to bear all the torture his father gave since he couldn't afford to lose his only family member. Jungkook also thought that Yena will be there and support him no matter what happened but looks like he was wrong. Thus, with a broken heart and the torture he received, he slowly became a cold-hearted guy." Yugyeom continued as he had a sad expression on his face.

End of Flashback
Since I finally know what's wrong with Jungkook, I can finally help him. I decided that maybe I should have a talk with Jungkook's father. Maybe this way, I can know more about his father and sort things out with them. Sound easy right? Well, I hope it is...

When I finally reached Jungkook's doorstep, my heart start to beat faster as I swallow my saliva nervously. It's won't be like the first time during my first visit to Jungkook's house right? I hope his father is having a good mood today...

After taking a few deep breath to calm myself down, I decided to knock on the door. However, to my surprised, the door was not lock so instead I slightly push the door open, big enough for me to peek inside. Once my eyes landed inside the house, my eyes immediately widened in terror. I immediately opened the door fully to take a better look of the house. The living room was once again full of shattered glass. Don't tell me Jungkook's father is drunk again??

"J-Jungkook?" I softly called out as I carefully enter the house since I am afraid I might bump into Jungkook's father and who know he might do something bad to me. As I was carefully finding Jungkook, suddenly a loud crash sound can be heard causing me to startled. The noise is coming from Jungkook's bedroom... Is Jungkook hurt?? I thought to myself.

I immediately hurried towards Jungkook's bedroom to check on Jungkook but not forgetting to take one empty glass bottle for protection. Once my hand was on the door knob, I slowly turned to take a look inside and to my horror, I was seeing things that I least expect. Jungkook's father was strangling Jungkook's neck while Jungkook was struggling to get him off from his father's grip.

"JUNGKOOK!!" I shouted in shocked, causing both of their attention on me. "E-Eunji?" Jungkook managed to called out as he had same expression with me. "YOU ARE DATING WHEN YOUR RESULTS BAD?!" Jungkook's father shout in anger as he strangled Jungkook's neck more causng Jungkook harder to breathe. Any minute Jungkook might die.

Without thinking much, I quickly run towards Jungkook's father. "Let go of him!" I shout as I hit his head with the empty glass bottle that I took earlier, hoping that he will let go of Jungkook. "AH!" Jungkook's father shout in pain as he immediately let go of Jungkook and hold his bleeding head. Jungkook immediately fall to the floor as he gasp for air. "You... " Jungkook's father say as he turn towards me with some killer expression as if he wants to kill me.

As panic rush towards me, I start to walk backwards as Jungkook's father stumbled towards me. Just as he was about to raise his hand and hit me, Jungkook's father collaspe to the ground as he lose his conscious. My attention quickly move towards Jungkook who was staring at his father, lying on the floor unconscious.

"Jungkook are you okay?!" I asked in concern as I rushed towards Jungkook and kneeled right in front of him to scan for any serious injuries. Jungkook suddenly break away from his daze and stare right into my eyes. Instead of a warm and soft gaze I wanted, Jungkook's eye turned cold and dark as he shout right in front of my face, "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I was immediately pushed by Jungkook, causing me to fall to on my butt while Jungkook rushed towards his father, checking whether he's alive.

When Jungkook realized that his father was still alive, he immediately let out a sigh of relief before turning his head towards me with anger and annoyance. He quickly walked towards me and harshly pulled my wrist to make me stand up. "I told you not to butt into my business." Jungkook coldly said as he give me a death stare. "But if I did not come to your house, who's know you might be dead already." I retorted back. "What happen if I tell you I want to be dead and did you even think that by doing this, it will kill my only family member?! Oh no you wont because you got a perfect family and you want to brag about it." Jungkook said in sarcasm.

Those sentences immediately hit me hard. Jungkook... Am I that type of person to you? If only you know me well then you will realized that both of us are facing the same situation...

"Ha... What I said is correct right." Jungkook suddenly said as he realized that I had stopped talking. There were some disappointment in it. Without wasting anymore time, Jungkook harshly pulled my wrist and dragged me out of his house. "I will give you one last chance. Stop interferring with my business." Jungkook coldly said but with a serious expression on before leting go of my hand and slamming his door shut, probably calling the ambulance while I just stood rooted to the ground and stare at his door.

That when I felt something wet rolling down my cheeks. My hand slowly reached towards my cheeks, making me to realize that it was my tears... Many thoughts suddenly came rushing into my mind...

Do I really have a perfect family?

What I did is it wrong?

Is it worth helping Jungkook?

Last but not least, what should I do now?

Should I just give up without getting hurt?
