REMEMBER ME (Jungkook AMBW)

Chapter 53: Another woman

Jae POV:

There's a child in my house and it aint mine.

What do I do with it? Who do I call? Why won't it stop crying? I aint your mother! At this point I'm losing my mind, I'm hoping that all of this is just a dream and that Jae Yoon hasn't actually killed herself. This is all my fault, I judged her instead of acknowledging that she was depressed, maybe if I listened to her then she wouldn't of killed herself by its too late now. I look in the cardboard box where the wailing child sat with his eyes shut, his hands in a tight fist and his face all red, do you think he senses that he's an orphan? I haven't touched him since he got here I just kicked the box into the house. I step back the minute he looks up at me and raises his hands in the air signalling me to lift him up, I just sit in the corner and bury my head in between my legs.

"Jae! I'm back" I hear the door open then Uncle JB's voice fill the room but I don't say anything instead I watch him follow the noise of the crying baby. I watch him look down in the cardboard box before lifting up the crying child and beginning to look for me. "Jae, why was there a baby in a box?" He asks me as soon as he spots me in the corner. I pass him the letter and sniff not wanting to make any eye contact with him.

"We need to call the police" I sniff and  try to keep the tears in my eyes. He looks down at me with his eyes wide open as if I've lost my mind. I've been wanting to call the police before he got here but I couldn't bring myself to.

"Are you crazy!" He shouts at me making me jump, he notices how much he's startled me so calms himself down. "Why didn't you tell me you met Jae Yoon? Did she ask about Kai? Jae answer my questions there is a child involved now!" He exclaims trying to keep himself calm but it doesn't seem like it's working. I get up from the floor and sniff trying to pull myself together.

"I dunno I saw her a month ago she wanted Kai' s location so she could tell him to look after the baby but I told her I don't know where he is but she could tell I was lying... I thought she'd forget about it" I explain and as I explain I can feel the tears move down my cheeks forcing me to wipe them away. Why am I the one who's crying? He's the one that's lost both parents because of me.

"Jae if we call the police they'll begin to ask questions. They'll ask where Kai is and we can't tell them that I shot him in the head! They'll start looking for him Jae, and they'll arrest us all because you witnessed it. They'll take away the baby. Jae you fucked up!" he falls onto the sofa with the baby in his hands. I didn't think about all of that, I didn't think about uncle and how he'll be affected and now I feel so bad.

"But what do we do now? They'll find her dead body and start looking for the baby" I tell him and he begins to rub his forehead. I've never seen Uncle this stressed before and the fact that I've bought this unto him makes me feel even more sick. Why am I so unfortunate?

Bang bang bang- we hear a knock on the door. I look at Uncle with fear written all over my face and he jumps up from the sofa and passes me the baby Lucas. He rushes towards the front door and looks through the peep hole.

"Its the police, hide the baby" he whispers and I do as I'm told. I put Lucas in my bedroom next to my baby before rushing out to Uncle JB.

"Ah Ms Carter we have some bad news about your cousin Jae Yoon" the officer looks at me with pity eyes. "Can we come in?"

"I rather you don't I haven't cleaned up" I try to joke to lighten up the mood.

"Erm your cousin was found dead 3 hours ago at her apartment, we are concluding it as suicide" he tells me and I gasp trying to act shocked and surprised. Uncle holds me and begins to comfort me, he's pretty good at acting. "Is this your boyfriend?"
