Persona

CHAPTER XXXIX: 1 out of 39

"NaNa seems so happy" I broke the ice between me and JungKook as we climbed the stairs

"The food I gave her is all her favorite from her favorite stores"

He led me to a room at the end of the hallway.
I felt shivers ran down my spine

How could a mere room feel so cold, lonely and sad?

Once he opened the lights, the yellow paint lit the room; making it warm and lively.

There was paintings on the wall, mostly of a
flower that I haven't seen before; I don't even know if it exists.

"This was Jimin's room" JungKook leaned against the old wooden desk at the corner. He dusted it off a bit "It's very much like him"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Jiminie-hyung was very lively, he was warm and loving. He was so bright like the sun. That's why yellow describes him" He smiled while scanning the entire room

"He would help me do my homework, help the grandma next door to carry her groceries every Saturday. He puts me before himself. He even went to the police station down the street to return some cents he picked up on the street."

"He sounds so sweet, am I right?" I sat at the bed, feeling the lost warmth of the owner

"He was, and I miss it. I miss my hyung...  I miss his bright smile, his warm hugs, and his comforting words...." He looked down at his shoes, fumbling with his fingers before wiping his tears discretely "I miss him so much..."

"Jungkook-ah...."

"That's why EunByeol." He sniffed before looking up to me with desperate eyes

"Please help my Hyung to be better. No, I mean make him better. Bring him back to me....."

I stood up and went to him "I will Kookie.. I will" I hugged him

"Do you know what that flower is?" He suddenly brought up the topic of the unknown flower

I shook my head with eagerness. I was pretty curious about it too.

It looks wonderful

"When Jiminie-hyung started to have his other personalities, he would paint one flower each day. He said that it represented him." He went to the wall to touch 1 out of the 39 flowers

"He called it Smeraldo."

"What does it mean?"

"It means the truth he cannot tell." He sighed

"He probably hid his trueself after the accident, he probably blamed himself for everything, tortured himself. He probably had many things to say to me but, after I push him away he decided to keep it to himself..."

"The things Jimin would want to tell you is probably the truth behind the dance recital incident and how he regrets everything as much as you do. Also the fact that, he needed someone beside him but, after what happened between you and him he didn't had the confidence to even show himself in front of you.."

"The truth about the dance recital?" Jungkook  tilted his head towards me with anticipation

"The truth is, he helped the boy at the middle because he didn't attend practices. The boy was about to fall off the stage but Jimin catched him and caused a stampede."

"Hyung is really such an angel..." Tears started to fall from his eyes again

He really is such an angel.

"I don't deserve to have him as a brother. All I did was push him away, leave him, and curse at him...."

I held his face to make him look at me "Jimin loved you still JungKook. And it's still not too late to make it up with him" I smiled while wiping his tears

"It's much better if you help me in making him better. What do you say?"

His face brightened up, showing me his bunny smile

"I would love too"
