     [August 31, 9:30 pm]

When would Jungkook get it right?  

He was walking back home enjoying the comforting feeling of smoking a cigarette, getting all the bitter smoke inside his mouth and then letting it fly free in the air of the fading sky.

  Luckily his boss was a nice person and understood the issue. He also was a student and he was aware of how cruel their companions could get with clumsy young boys like him. And even more if you mess with their 100 dollar books, apparently.

So for his first day of work he almost got ripped off by a boy and his coca cola bottle, nothing special. Jungkook really didn't know how he was going to pay this person and when he was supposed to. He hadn't the money to even afford his own studies, how in earth was he going to pay three expensive books? Jin told him that he could give him a salary advance to help him pay it but even so Jungkook was counting with that money for something else. Spilling coke over a rich asshole kid wasn't in his what to do list.

Overwhelmed he took a deep breath, throwing the straw of the cigarette away, he pushed the door of his house open. He did leave a bit far away but being absent from the city pressure was actually helping him deal with his anxiety so he didn't care that much, either way, the city wasn't really a place for him.

He entered the house and the first thing he did was call out the name of his mother. He still was worried about her health. Leaving her alone 14 hours a day wasn't something that captivated him, but he had no other choice. If he didn't work there was no way he could take care of her, and if he didn't take care of her no other person in the world would.

He didn't hear a response so he guessed she was already sleeping. He went straight ahead to her room. The door was semi open and Jungkook peeked a glance inside.

The television was turned on but her mother seemed to be deeply asleep. He made his way inside, turned the TV down and almost automatically sat on the bed where her mother was laying.

Softly he rubbed his hand over her cheek and watched her sleep tenderly for around 5 minutes, enjoying her face structure, the beauty of her face.

She was so beautiful, she was even more beautiful in the past when she also was a happy person, now wrinkles decorated the tail of his eyes, her lips and her forehead, making her not like her own reflection in the mirror. Jungkook always heard her complain about how old and ugly she was getting with time  but for Jungkook it was all a big big lie.

He loved her mother so much.

She was the reason he was still alive fighting, because she needed to keep breathing. Jungkook's only purpose in life was to keep her mother safe and healthy. If her mother didn't exist, he neither would. Jungkook wanted her to have the life she deserved, and the life she never got to have. Watching her sleep reminded  him why he was working so hard, and why he even got up that morning to work.

But now he had screwed up another time, another problem to his list of endless problems. And that problem was this guy called Hoseok. Why the hell did he have to appear out of nowhere? And why did he have to spill the coke over his rich kid books? He didn't need to. He didn't need his presence in his life.

With a deep breath he carried his own body to his own room. He moved to his wardrobe and looked out for his possible salvation. He had been saving some money lately, just for in case something bad happened and he needed extra money. But he never thought something would actually happen. Not as fast as it had. And the money he got to safe wasn't that much, surely not enough to pay the amount he owed.

He opened the envelop where he kept the money hoping for the best and praying deep in his mind for it to be more than he expected, holding his breath in like if that would give him luck, but when he saw the inside of the envelop and all he found was a 50 dollar billet he felt like his soul fell down to his knees, wishing he was dead.

What was he going to do?
