"can't believe this place is still the same"
jungkook brought jiwoo back to the place they used to stay 12 years ago. she was amazed that it didn't change much, its just that the their houses were sold to multiple holders. its just jiwoo's, not jungkook's.
"hey why is your house still empty?" jiwoo turned to jungkook, noticing that he has been silent ever since she asked him to bring her back here. jungkook refused coming here at first but she kind of begged him so he promised, "are you okay?"
jungkook just nodded, and gave her a weak smile. jiwoo didn't buy it at all, she took his hand as the two sat on the old bench, opposite their houses. "kook" she will always called his pet name whenever there's something wrong with him, jungkook faced her, eyes tearing up. "tell me, what happened?"
flash back, 2013.
jungkook was heading home after having lunch with his friends, it was 5 in the evening.
"eomma, appa, im home!" he called out happily, but no one answered. he felt strange, usually his mom will rush out, answering him. he was about to unlock the small gate but he saw the lock broken, on the floor.
jungkook pushed the gate and walk into the house, "eomma?" he called out, softly. he was hesitant, the main door was left open as well. he lightly pushed the door and step onto the floor mat, that was when he stopped moving.
the floor mat, was wet.
jungkook stopped his steps, he was only wearing his white socks, as he stared at his feet, red liquid seeped through his socks, and he could smell blood. jungkook is scared but he tried calming himself down. "no way that this is happening.."
as he walk further, there are hand prints on the walls which are most likely pulled downwards. jungkook didn't know what to do, he went upstairs and extremely terrified as he saw his mother, lying lifelessly on the floor of their bedroom, there are blood stains on her clothing, several big cuts all over her body, and also a pool of blood on the floor.
"e-eomma" he weakly called out for a few times, tears threatening to fall down. but still earning no response. "don't be mad at me, wake up eomma" he then heard water dripping sound, coming from the bathroom. he slowly got up and walk towards the bathroom, he couldn't believe what he just saw.
"a-appa" he shuttered, rushing to turn off the water pipe. "appa!" he screamed, lifting his father's body out from the bathtub, his father has no response as well, bloody water filled up the tub.
jungkook took a few steps back, falling onto the ground, he hugged to himself, screaming and crying at the corner of the room.
the end.
after hearing jungkook out, jiwoo has been crying ever since then, her tears soaked jungkook's hoodie. he just hugged her tight, not uttering a word.
"jungkook ah, im sorry for not being by your side, i let you suffered alone. you should have call me back then, why did you keep it to yourself, do you know how worried i was when you were gone for months?" jiwoo held his face, wiping the tears that stained.
"its all in the past now, im still here, alive." jungkook smiled weakly.
"thank god you're alive, i couldn't live without you" jiwoo bury her face into the crooked of his neck. jungkook pat her back, crying silently.
you are the reason why im still alive jiwoo ya. he thought.
"b-but how about the murderer? did the police caught him?" jiwoo asked nervously, as jungkook shook his head in response.
"they couldn't trace the murderer or either the purpose of murdering my parents, and simply close the case" jungkook clenched his fists, anger boiled in him while muttering those words. "and im still finding out about it by my own right now"
jiwoo hold his hand in hers, her lips formed a smile, "jungkook ah, i will stay by your side from now on, i promise i won't leave you alone, let's face it together"
the latter chuckled, "aww that sounds touch but what if you got yourself a boyfriend? he might get jealous if you are too close to your best friend" he pouted at first, "especially when its a guy, who is also a hot one" that signature smirk plastered on that pretty face of his.
"bitch please, isn't it obvious that i chose you over relationships? i rather stay with you forever than having a boyfriend" jiwoo rolled her eyes, still sniffing "unless you don't need me anymore, i will go find a boy-"
jungkook placed one finger over her lips, causing jiwoo got cut off, she kind of stop breathing too. "well too bad, i need you for the rest of my life" he whispered with his raspy voice.
"aish, stop making fun of me you asshole" she pushed him off, hiding her redden cheek with both of her hands, "i wanna go home" she mumbled while walking away from him. jungkook chuckled and take her hand, "its the other way pabo"
jungkook's place
"woah your place is so huge just for a single unit condominium" jiwoo gasped, looking around the new environment that she is going to stay from now on. the living room, kitchen, bedrooms and even the attached bathroom is bigger than her room in japan.
"those houses in japan seems so small, i bet you will love it here" jungkook settles her luggage in her room, as jiwoo roamed around the place like a lost puppy. "are you going back to japan after this?" jungkook took the comforter out, making her bed.
jiwoo smirked at his question, "aww someone misses me ~" she took small steps towards her room and saw jungkook making her bed neatly, with a serious face on, "of course, i do-" jiwoo tip toed behind him to scare him, but guess who fail in the end.
"peek-a-boo- ahh" jiwoo let out a scream due to the unstable position and fall on top of jungkook who caught her just in time. you know situations like this will end up having a staring contest.
they just stared, no one dares to take the first move until jungkook blurted out.
"jiwoo, i can feel your boobs on me"
"pervert ass"
the next second, jungkook was on the floor, rubbing his butt with a hurtful expression.
