Save Me With A Lullaby [Jackbum]

Lullaby 4

<Trigger Warning - Hints of rape + Sexual Harassment>

It was Thursday, and for usual, Jaebum have called the lifeline to do his own service. Before he can meet any new clients, the lifeline service have told him about a specific caller ending the call. Being told about the abrupt and concerning details, Jaebum understood why the lifeline was worried. They are the suicide prevention lifeline, after all. 

As Jaebum doing these for years, he was trusted and the lifeline have checked in on his calls, for safety purposes. The lifeline appreciate Jaebum's work, and were glad to have him. For years, they trusted him, for his hard work. They probably look up to him, since his own hard work made him a good person. Supposedly, a hero they see him. 

Jaebum would take honor of that title, but he is human, after all. 

"The number is ###-###-#####. Call them, and see if they are alright." instructed the male on the other end, and Jaebum assured them after ending the call with the lifeline service. Tapping on the numbers on the phone screen, he called the number, while resting back in his chair. Leaning back as he waited, patiently. The speaker ringing making his waiting feel critical, as it felt like hours. 

'What happens they are gone, already?

I should have done services, yesterday.'

Jaebum was worried, and working for a lifeline is crucial. Known as a 'hero' for his own services, yet remaining to be as 'The Jaebum' than 'Lim Jaebum' - where he usually is, in real life - he would feel guilty if he came to the news that someone have past away due to suicide. He cared too much for strangers, and that was his biggest weakness. 

If anything can kill this hero, it is failure and caring to an extent, where he couldn't care about his own self. Jaebum sacrifices too many of his own things to make anyone care, but as long as they are happy, he is happy - so, he thought to assure himself. 

Since time was limited, he wish he can do his own service everyday. But, with his career with music, he doesn't have time. 

His swarming thoughts seem to distract him for moments, and he didn't notice that he is connected with the call. He turned off the speaker and put the phone to his ear, "Hello?" he spoke out softly into the cell. Silence on the other end, but Jaebum strained his ears to hear anything. He could hear small breaths, as though someone seemed to be panicking on the other end. 

"Are you okay?" he questions, hoping the other would answer. 

"Y-Yeah. Its late, what do you want?" asked the other on end, sounding tired. 

"Well, my name is Jaebum. I wanted to check up, since you have called the other day-"

"Jaebum that does music?"

"Uhm, yeah." chuckled out the raven head, surprised. He didn't expect his music to grow enough popularity to be recognized on a Suicide Prevention line. 

"T-This is Jackson... Do you remember me?" 

Jaebum felt his lips turned up into a smile. He was relieved that the person was alright, and he have met an old client. Coincidence or fate? it doesn't matter, Jaebum felt weightless. He was glad to hear from Jackson, again.
