Not A Toy | VKOOK

Chapter 3

"Kim Seokjin, for the last time. Tell me where is Jeongguk." Mrs. Jeon was pissed. It was 11 am and no sign of jeongguk.

"I don't know mum, seriously. He told me he was..meeting someone and that's it" Jin was helpless this time. It's not like Mrs. Jeon was at home for their weekly hangover. Eunwoo and Jaehyun were silently eating their breakfast. Jin kept calling Jeongguk but still no answer. He was not actually worried 'cause it was jeongguk they were talking about. Coming late was nothing new to him but that might be debatable for Mrs. Jeon.

Hungover Jin just sat next to Eunwoo and ate his breakfast. It was like teenage years when coming after curfew was dangerous. Eunwoo giggled, seeing his Mama fuming was funny. Jaehyun was silent as always but it was clear that the kid was worried too. Jin tried to call again and Gguk picked the call.

"Jeongguk dude you are so dead"

Before Jeongguk could reply, Mrs. Jeon took the Phone.

Not Good

"JEON JEONGGUK YOU COME HOME AT THIS MOMENT OR ELSE I"LL CUT YOUR ALLOWANCE> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH WORRIED EVERYONE HIS"

"Believe me I'm not," Jin said quietly making kids laugh and Mrs. jeon eyed him to which he just shrugged.

"I'll be home in 15 mum. Bye" Jeongguk hung up.

"This kid is going to be the death of me, aish seriously" She gave Jin his phone back and sat on the chair nearby. It was not her fault she was overprotective of her son. After losing one son that just came naturally. Not that she was not like that before. She rested her forehead in her hands and sighed. She felt a hand on her shoulder and seeing it was jin she held it and pressed his hand on her cheek. Jin was like her son too, how could she forget that.

"JIn please take care of Jeongguk. He might show he doesn't need anyone but he is mostly lonely among all of us. He won't tell anyone but I am his mother, I know" she smiled and so did Jin.

"Mum, there's no need for me take care of him when you are here to whop his ass" Jin laughed. He saw Jaehyun standing with Eunwoo not too far away. It was not just Jeongguk who was lonely but unlike him. He knew it and so did Mrs. Jeon.

*************************************************

It was nearly 11 am when Jeongguk's eyes opened. Sleeping after 4 am, he wasn't even planning to wake up but lack of something woke him up. The warmth. Taehyung was no more next to him. Not that he expected him to be but still. He rubbed his eyes and reached for his phone on the nightstand. At that moment he knew he fucked up.
