"Annyeonghaseyo..-jungkook" yugyeom came in. Along with momo, seulgi, daniel and sehun.

"Yugyeom." Jungkook stood up from his seat, facing his ex bestfriend.

"Hows eunbi?" Momo asks, carressing eunbi's silky black hair.

"She's in coma..." jungkook replied.

"where are her parents and brother kookie?" daniel asked.

"I don't know hyung. They haven't visited her yet." He sighed. "Most probably later at late night they will visit"

"Why are you even here alone without that bitchy girlfriend of yours?" Jungkook asked yugyeom.

"well, I didn't want her to follow and cause a commotion in here with you." He rolled his eyes.

"you know what, you both wanna fight? Go outside and don't disturb eunbi" seulgi dragged their arms outside of the ward.

After that, she closed the door in front of them.

"See what you did?!" Yugyeom shouted.

"Yah. What the hell did i do? I think it's you. Having an affair with my ex girlfriend? Sex in the cleaners room, kissing each other outside school. Stealing my ex girlfriend. Now what? You wanna take away eunbi too? By the way, i was talking about chaeyeon not eunha."

"no. Eunbi's my friend." He fought back. "And it's not my fault that chaeyeon likes me more than you bunny." Yugyeom chuckled bitterly.

"Jeon Jeongguk." His father called him.

"Why are both of you fighting, in a hospital?" He flared.

"Why are you here abeoji." Jungkook sighed.

"you're supposed to be home by now. Do you want me to hit you everyday jeongguk?!" He asked.

"cane me. Right here. Right now. I don't care. I want to be beside eunbi no matter what happens." Jungkook gathered his courage and talked back to his father.

"Jeongguk!" He growled.

Jungkook started turning around and lifting the back of his shirt. Yugyeom gasped.

"How dare you challenge me- we will, settle this at home" he furrowed his eyebrows, holding onto jungkook's wrist.

"sorry Jeon-ssi, jungkook's not going anywhere." Yugyeom pulled away jungkook's father grip off.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" He asked.

"I am, the son of the Chief Justice of south korea" yugyeom smirked. "If you want, i can arrange for a meeting with my abeoji. And tell him that you have been abusing your child, Jeon Jungkook" he added.

"i-i...i am not his abeoji. His real abeoji is, dead. I killed...Jeon Junghyun, my older hyung.." he muttered, guilt rushed through his veins. "Your father, is Jeon Junghyun, jeongguk-ah..."

Then the three of them realised that they were fighting in front of the ICU. It was the most private ICU in this hospital. Luckily only a few nurses and doctors were around.

"i...got to go." Jungkook's tears fell as he rushed in to take his belongings and ran out of the hospital.

"Jeongguk!" His "father" called him.

Jungkook was too upset that he didn't turned around to face him again. He ran and ran. He gave up and dropped his knees onto the ground and cried everything out.

"Abeoji..." he mumbled. "Eunbi-ya..."

***
It's been three months now. Jungkook's father turned himself in two months ago but jungkook didn't want to visit him. Eunbi isn't awake yet but he still visits her every day after school.

One Saturday, he went to the prison to visit his father.

"jeongguk-ah.." the man muttered weakly.

"i want to know what happen. Every single detail sam-chon."

"your father was married to your mother and had you. Your father was really busy with work and i was always the one visiting you and your mother everytime during my lunch break. When your mother was having you, both of us got together behind your father's back" he took a deep breath. "your father was dying. he didnt know he had coronary heart disease and one day, he just died, having a heart attack when you turned 1 on 1st september. It was difficult for the whole family. After much consideration, your mother and i decided to get married."

"and the reason why you always caned me?"

"I hated you. For looking like Junghyun. For being smart like Junghyun. This means the company do have their rightful heir. It wasn't supposed to be me. It was you."

"well. i hope you will do some soul-searching in the prison and turn over a new leaf soon. Thank you for raising me. Sam-chon. I will pray for your wellness." Jungkook got up and bowed to him.

He left afterwards. He slid down the door and hugged his knees.

I loved him. I did even though he caned me everyday. But it turns out, he wasn't my real father after all.
