「S O U N D」
"Kim Minseok..." he repeated the name, an unfamiliar feeling settling on his mind. He's never once heard the man's name utter from his mother's lips so how could he claim to know his mother.
Exhaustion creeped into his chest again as he washed his face. Staring at himself in the mirror, Jungkook noticed how worn out he looks. The bags under his eyes, his dry lips, rough skin, thin arms and hungry stomach makes him feel sick.
He can feel his tears on edge as he recalls all he's been through past the week but he refuses to remember, refuses to believe that his mother had killed herself for no apparent reason. She didn't kill herself, she had been killed. Someone had taken her away from him, from him and his sister.
His sister, Ji. She hasn't eaten, he remembers and neither has he. He walks outside his room making sure to remember cleaning his room once he's done eating and feeding Ji. Shocked would be an understatement when he saw his sister stepping out of her room. Her oversized sweater hanging off her shoulder as she closes her door.
She stands there for a few seconds, probably thinking again as she sighed loud enough for Jungkook to hear. He felt sorry for how she looked, just the same as him. Bags clear right underneath her beautiful eyes, her hair in a mess and she looks so skinny it hurt Jungkook so much.
He was hesitant as he walked towards her, touching her arm he whispered, "Ji...". She was startled at first but relaxed once she clearly saw his face. Jungkook noticed how she tried to fake a smile but she couldn't. She just couldn't and Jungkook understands why she's outside of her room right now. She probably feels guilty for letting her brother handle everything when she's having a mental breakdown past the few days.
She still can't speak, he notices. She probably won't speak even when her throat gets better but thats alright. As long as she's here with him, he can live and he can move on so he pulls her arm. Guiding her to the dinning table he sits her down as he moves to get instant ramen out of the refrigerator.
For once Jungkook is content, he is reassured and relaxed and feels complete when he watches her eat, when he eats. Jungkook hates the silence in the house. It was never quiet living together with his mother and sister and he used to complain a lot but when things took a turn he wants nothing more but to hear his mother and sister bicker about something silly again and annoy the shit out of him.
He wants nothing more than to hear the sound of their laughs and his mother's voice calling for him.
