Chapter 13: I wish

*Jungkook's POV*

Me and Jimin finish our talk and head for the entrance. Just as we were about to walk out, I notice Taehyung.

Something seems... Off. I walk over to him, but just as I  lean in to peck his cheek he backs away.  As he backs away that's when I see his expression.

His eyes have this porcelain glaze over it,  almost as if he's about to cry.
I try to get through clearly seeing something is bothering him. But all he does is smile. The smile that can fool thousands.

"Huh?  What nothing's wrong, I just-umm...I have to go." Taehyung runs off down the sidewalk. In the opposite direction of our dorms. Before I  can tell out at him, Jimin stops me. "Give him time, he'll come to you when he's ready." He says with a reassuring smile.

Well it looked reassuring, but it didn't feel  reassuring. I begin to get this sinking feeling that something is terribly wrong.

I wished that time had come sooner, before he'd ran off.

[flashback]

"uhauahuah...mghn.. Uhahah."
I running away, from the dogs, which my 'brothers' had ordered to chase after me. 

I ran all the way around my father's mansion. Panting, gasping for air. My legs feel weak. My lungs are burning. But I know that if I stop for even a minute, the dogs will catch up along with my brothers. He'll probably order them to tear me to shreds.

I get up hearing the barks grow louder

I don't know why they hate me so much. In fact I think it should be the other way around. I stop near the garden wall to catch my breath.

"If anything I should be the one that hates them. All because their mo-shit."
I can hear my brothers voice from nearby. I look around the corner from the wall and I see one on the dogs tails. I hurry and sling my head around the wall, taking cover in a bush. I notice a tree nearby. Judging by the way my brothers voices,  I can tell they're close, but not close enough to where I can't make it to that tree.

If I stay the dogs will for sure find me. T-Then it's all over for me. I hear the dogs breathing coming closer.

It's now or never. I begin to climb the tree. As I climb the tree I start remembering all they have done to. Remembering all the good times before they came.

"Jungkook sweetie come here!~"

"Ok mommy!" My mother calls for me from the window. I'm playing out in the backyard in the sandbox. I run inside rushing to by mother. I come into contacts with her legs. She picks me up of the ground and into her arms.

I notice a bruise on her arm and on her exposed collarbone.

"Mommy, how'd you get those?" My four year old, always asking questions,  self said said.

She looks at me, something distant in her eyes, but it left as soon as it came. She had flashed one of her big reassuring, colgate white smile. "Nothing sweetie, mommy just fell." She pecks my forehead,  then smothers me with tiny kisses all over my face.

"Okay! Okay Hahahaha!  M-mama stop! ... W..here's papa?" I said trying to catch my breath from her tickle attack.

"Papa...he um....he won't be back home for a while."

"B-but we were supposed to eat dinner together tonight."

"I know sweetie, but you papa has important business to handle, he-"

"It's alright mama, I understand." Once again she smiles, but this time her smile is a tight-lipped closed smile. She ruffles my hair.

"That's my little man." Me and mama head to the table, to set out our plates.  Just as we set the last two fork down, the timer dings. Mama goes over to get the pasta out of the oven.

"Food's done! Food's done!" Mama makes our plates.

"I want a biiiiig scoop mama!"

"Anything for you, my little bunny. "

Just as I was taking my first bite, the front door slams open, so much that it bounces off the wall leaving a mark. Then a familiar male figure appears in the doorway. Mama is frozen in her seat. I recognize the figure, I immediately want to go up and give him a huge hug, but something tells me not to.

"Papa... What's wrong?" No answer. "Papa?" He steps in and closes the door.

Sometimes I wish Mama wouldn't do anything for me.

...I continue to climb the tree. Faster,  I need to hurry up and get to the top branches. I make it up the branches, stopping when I see the dogs nearing the roots of my tree.

"Where'd that son of bitch go?" Jaebum said turning his head to look right then left.

Laon looks around scanning the whole area, he looks up. Then my eyes meet his. A wicked grin appears crossed his face.

"He's up there." Laon raises his hand pointing at me, Jaebum turns his looking at where his finger was pointing at. Me.

Dread fills my face, I look up to see how far the top of the branches are. I gulp, it's so high up, but I think I  can make it. I look down. It's not like those to can-

"Climb...."

"Laon! Be careful he's climbing pretty high up. "

"Don't worry Bro! I got this! Maybe I can even push him of the branch." Both laugh mockingly.

I climb higher and higher until there are no more branches. Laon coming closer and closer to where I am.

I panting so hard I lean against the back of the tree to catch my breath. I closed my eyes for one second and Laon was in front of me. He grabs my shoulder trying to push me off.

"Bye Bye, little bunny~" He say in a wicked tone. I don't know what but, something in me just snapped. The words 'little bunny's made me cringe in disgust knowing that's what my mother called me.

I grab hold of his shoulder, jerking him around. Everything went black.

What happened next wasn't my fault.
I was clouded by anger. When I came back to my senses all I heard was branches breaking and...a crack?

"Ahhhhhhh!  Laon!" I heard a panicked scream from Jaebum and the dogs whimpering. I look down and see Laon at the root of the tree.

Blood spilling out from his lifeless body.

A/N: If this is confusing, I had created an anelepis (a flashback within a flashback) for Jungkook's past... Oops..heh... So basically he's 14yrs in the first flashback with his brother's and 4yrs with his mother.

Oh and I'm back from hiatus. Lmao you guys probably don't care. Enjoy the story!~❤
