"Where is mom?"
Jin and Jungkook just got back from hanging out with the other two, and it was a little tense for a while after Jimin and Tae talked, but luckily as time passed the tension in the air seemed to leave and Jin got to talk to his friends more.
"Umm, usually she's drinking," Jungkook says, going to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Jin frowns and looks over the messy living room, "This place is a dump. JK, why do you let her drink?"
Jungkook grabbed two hot pockets out the freezer, slamming the door. "You think I let her? Why would you say that?" Jungkook asked, angrily ripping the wrapping off the hot pocket.
"I didn't mean it like that," Jin stated and grabbed a paper plate from the cabinet and handing it to his little brother.
"Whatever. She doesn't care about me so why should I care for her?" Jungkook mumbles as he puts the hot pocket in the microwave and slams the microwave door.
"Jungkook, she cares."
"You can't say that, you've been gone for three years. You don't know what's she's like."
"It hasn't been three years and I know my own mother, JK. I know how she's like. I raised you more than she did before I left, but there's a reason why," Jin explained, looking over Jungkook as he angrily stares at the counter.
"What could that possibly be? Huh?" She's crazy, Jin. She is normal some days and then she barely knows me. It hurts," Jungkook says, ripping the microwave open when it beeps.
Jin sighs. He stops his brother's movements and makes Jungkook look at him, "She's sick, JK."
"What?"
"I learned a lot in college-"
"Shocker."
"Shut it. This is serious," Jin snapped, crossing his arms as he leaned against the counter, "and I learned about different types of medical conditions and I found one that fit mom perfect, so I came home."
Jungkook started to get nervous. So something was actually wrong with his mom?
"And?"
"I think mom has Alzheimer's."
"Fuck off, Jin. That's for old people. What joke is that? It's not funny," Jungkook said, trying to pass Jin to get a glass of water, but Jin grabbed his arm.
"Jungkook, listen to me," He sternly said, "I even went to a neurologist and told him the symptoms mom has had. It's very early stages but it's happening."
"B-but she's so young," Jungkook whispered, his chest seemed to tighten as his eyes blinked tears away.
"I know. I know, it's rare but it can happen. She's almost fifty, but from the looks of it she has years to go before she's...gone," Jin said.
