The Devil's Tears

Jungkook was shook by his mother's betrayal. He had known asking his brother to come was her plan, but she had made a promise. Looking from the hurt on both Suga's and Lonna's faces, made him even more angry. He slammed his fist down on the table making everyone jump. He looked at his mother. "Didn't you promise not to bring this up?!" He screamed.

"If I don't say it now, when?!" She screamed back. All Jungkook could do was turn a pitied stare to his brother. Lonna didn't dare move or make a sound, even though every fiber in her body wanted her to ask the questions that her brain was screaming.

Seeing Lonna's scared expression, Ms. Jeon wiped the angry tears from her cheeks and softened her voice. "Sorry, I scared you." She turned her full attention to Lonna. "But, I wanted you to hear it, too."

"Mom!" Jungkook yelled in warning, earning him an angry glare that made him drop his head in shame.

Fully ignoring his request for her to stop, his mother once again turned her attention to Lonna. "At the time, I didn't want to leave Yoongi behind, I was coerced!" As hard as Lonna tried not to, the sadness she saw in her eyes made her slightly pity the woman. "At that time, I wanted to take him, to raise him, but they said I couldn't! Said that I didn't have the financial ability. Letting me take Jungkook was their biggest concession!"

Lonna felt like she wanted to cry, but not for the pitiful woman in front of her. The thought of Suga's feelings, hearing the mother he had always thought abandoned him, didn't. She knew he had to be hurting. "They said..." Ms. Jeon continued. "Yoongi was their heir. He was needed to succeed the family. So I had to give him up!"

"Stop it!" Lonna jumped at Suga's loud voice. He had heard enough, he couldn't handle his emotions being pulled any longer and he refused to let his mother do this to him. "It's past history. Complaining now? What are you hoping to gain?"

"But what I am telling her is true! Yoongi, I..."

"I?" Suga cut her short. His nerves had taken enough. "I have no intention of living with you!" He screamed. This shocked everyone at the table. "I won't go to Italy!"

"I see." His mother's voice was full of sadness, which made Suga feel like he was about to break. He had only just seen his mother for the first time since she left him, years ago. He had only hoped she wanted to know him as much as he did her, but it hurt him that she had used this as a way to hurt the people he cared for. He had only ever wanted her to want him, but to do it like this was breaking his heart more than when she left. Her show of fake tears, angered him. He quickly got up to leave and Lonna quickly followed him.

Just before he got to the stairs that would go back to the hotel lobby, he stopped. Lonna stopped as well, but allowed some space to be between them. Suga could feel his chest start to hurt, and holding in his tears was becoming harder. He didn't want Lonna to see him breakdown.

Lonna looked at Suga's trembling back with pity in her eyes. She was angry at herself for letting his mother trick her, and mad at his mother for ruining a night that she knew Suga had looked forward to. Before she could say anything to him, Jungkook walked up beside her. "Lonna, mom wants us to wait downstairs."

As much as she didn't want to, she agreed. She moved to tell Suga where she was going, but before she made it to him, he walked further away. "Going to the restroom." Was all he said, but Lonna knew by his angry walk, that he needed to cool down, so she knew it was best if she just left him alone for now, despite the urge to comfort him.

Jungkook and Lonna both walked gloomily down the hall, side by side. "So much effort for us to meet, now we are parting on bad terms." Lonna could hear the guilt laced in his voice, but she knew this wasn't his fault. "I told my mom it was impossible. I said he would never abandon you, and leave by himself." Seeing Lonna's head drop in sadness made him even more guilty. "Sorry, noona."
