Thicker than water

6: In the past

Jungkook wasn't always the way he was. There were things that made him this way. Things that made him a monster.

"Mom mom"! A small boy about 9 years old yelled happily as his mother walked into their one bedroom apartment holding bags.

"Hello my little baby bear. Did you miss mommy"? She smiled placing bags down before being embraced by the small arms of her little boy.

"I missed you alot! Can we play mama? Dad is no fun..." He frowned.

"Where is your dad exactly"? She asked curiously.

"He's napping in the tub again" he pointed at a small door.

"Son of a...go to your room. Don't come out til I say okay baby"? She smiled as he nodded and fled to his room locking the door. He already knew the drill. Soon the sounds of screaming and yelling came from outside. They were followed by the sounds of things breaking. This has went on and on. He didn't understand at first but then he came to realize what was really happening. This man was hurting his mother. Soon things calmed down and he unlocked the door peeping out to see his mom leaning against a wall with her face bloodied.

"Mom"! He ran to her aid holding her hand for a moment before grabbing a warm rag and cleaning her up. He had tears in his eyes. He felt useless. He felt weak for not being able to protect his mom.

"Mom..I won't let him hurt you anymore! I'll be strong for you... I'll protect you...lets run away.. " he said as he held back tears.

"Baby bear... Where could we go"? She managed to mutter before coughing.

"We can go far away from him..." The little boy stood up before helping his mother up and dragging her to a chair.
"Where is dad"?

"He left after.."

"Good" he said. Most children have a normal childhood but for this boy it was no more. He vowed to himself that he would never let another man hurt his mother.

Later on that night the boy dressed his mom in warm clothes and packed her a bag . After doing so, he did the same for himself.

"Are you ready mom"? He smiled half heartedly.

"Yes...if you're sure about this" she was a tad hesitant. When did her son grow up so fast?

They quietly made off into the night. They walked for hours and hours til their feet grew blisters. His mom began to drag behind so he bent down and managed to get his mom on his back and walking for a few more hours til they reached their destination. They were infront of a large apartment building. It looked to have about ten floors. He smiled before walking in and letting his mom down at the counter.

"I'm Jeon Jungkook. I called about the one bedroom. I have the money in full" he sounded so mature that his mom looked him up and down.

The person at the counter nodded as he passed him a key and room number.
"I'll see to it that nobody knows where your place is. If the crazy man comes I'll call the cops"

"Thank you" he smiled handing the man an envelope before walking away and taking him mom into and elevator. Soon they reached a door labeled 18301.

"This is it mom. You will be safe here" he smiled unlocking the door.

"Where did you get the money for this  place? It looks expensive.." she looked both ways down the hallway.

"I had some money saved up and I stole dad's stash. He won't be needing it" he grabbed her hand opening the door and turning on the light. His mom nearly deopped dead at the sight of the place they said one room but it looked like a penthouse to her.
