LOVE MAZE (JiKook)

PREVENT

*Spoilert: Just don't hate her too much!!! lol*

Jimin was nervous as he was in the cafe waiting for Mrs Jeon. Somehow he knew that this meeting would give him a bad news based on how Mrs Jeon called him. She sounded upset and gloomy even more suspicious as she suddenly requested him to meet outside their residence and to keep it secret from Jungkook. So Jimin tried his best to dress up to look more appealing for the woman's liking because this time he wasn't just going to meet his friend's mother but also his boyfriend's mother. He kept sighing and looked up at the entrance of the cafe, wishing to see the familiar figure.

Then he felt a hand tapped his shoulder. He looked up just to find a very familiar figure widely smiling to him.

"Hobi hyung!" He stood up feeling ecstatic and the man in front of him pull him into a hug. It has been a long time since the last time they see each other.

"Jiminie! How are you?" J-hope asked and pulled away from the hug.

"I'm fine, what are you doing here hyung?"

"I have an appointment with a friend here. How about you? Oh are you here with Jungkook?" The older asked while smirking. He wiggled his eyebrows. Yes, everyone knew about Jimin relationship with the teenage boy.

"No, I'm not here with him hyung," Jimin answered and blushed. "Uhm actually...I'm going to meet his mother here," the younger told him hesitantly because he remembered that it should be a secret but there he was accidentally meeting J-hope who knew Jungkook and him very well.

J-Hope noticed how the younger was nervous and hesitant, "Is something wrong Jiminie?"

"N...no no, It's just please don't tell Jungkook about it! I don't know why but ahjumma asked me to keep it just between me and her," Jimin explained. He smiled nervously to J-hope.

"Oh, don't worry! I won't tell him," J-hope told him. He tried to show his most delightful smile to the younger. Although inside he was smelling something fishy about it. His gut told him something bad was going to happen. But he didn't want to make the younger worry.

"Ok then I'll get going, my friend is waiting. Good luck Jiminie!" J-hope left to his table. which was in the other corner of the room not too far away from Jimin's table. He decided to watch over the younger from afar.

Not long after a woman entered the Cafe and walked straight to Jimin's table. She sat right across Jimin. The younger smiled and greeted the older woman politely. But she just shrugged it off and the younger could see clearly the upset look on her face. He nervously gulped.

"Let's get straight to the point! Jimin, you know I love my sons right? I love them more than my own life. I care about their well being and of course, I know you care about them too," She started. Somehow Jimin already knew where it was going to go. He nodded and his heart started to beat faster as he felt nervous and he gulped again.

"You, befriending Taehyung is totally fine with me. All this time I've been all okay with your relationship with my oldest son as... his best friend of course. BUT! that's before he dragged his brother into this whole cycling of friendship with you. Well at first I could accept it because I thought it was just a normal friendship like you have with Taehyungie. I thought Jungkookie was so attached to you because he saw you as his older brother too like his brother Taehyung. I had been tried my best to avoid this kind of thing happening for so long. I... I don't want to talk about it but to make everything clear with you I have to. Since I saw you in that bathroom Jimin...." she inhaled a deep breath. While Jimin flinched by that said memories, he started trembling slightly feeling giddy and upset to himself.

"...I knew I just can't let my other son involve with you. Well, Taehyungie is an exception, he already befriended you. He attached to you, he loves and cares about you but just as his friend and I can't take his friend away from him so I let him, I let you become his friend. B...but Jungkookie? He never met you, he didn't know you so I decided to always watch over him. Even when I was living in Japan for a few years. Do you think how could you never meet your best friend's brother all those years? Don't you think it was weird? I mean seeing how close you are with Taehyung, normally Jimin... no way you were not going to meet his brother sooner, right?" It was because I've tried, I've tried my best to prevent him from meeting you. Taehyungie always called me and shared his daily activity with me and so Jungkookie. So I know their entire schedule." She leaned back to her chair and folded her hands on her chest, starring dagger into the young man in front of her.

Jimin tried his best to choke back his tears that his throat burning. His small hands clenched his fist so tight that his nuckles turned white under the table to suppress himself from breaking down in front of the woman he used to respect and love like his own mother, well he still respected her but everything was too much for him.

"But just because my husband forgot to tell me about his two sons about throwing a private party to celebrate Jungkook's birthday that one night, every my hard work was ruined. Taehyung finally brought you to meet his beloved little brother. At first, I tried to be positive because I thought you were not as damaged as you used to anymore and what could be worse if you just normally befriended my precious youngest son. I'd have my doubt of course, seeing how attached he was with you in the hospital but I just brushed it away because I didn't know yet about my son being gay and you had Yoongi anyway. But now here we are, you are dating him. My Jungkookie is falling for you. I don't know why he thinks he loves you but I'm not okay with it Jimin, you've tried to kill yourself twice!!! And because of it, you've made both of my sons witness the gory you had created to yourself. You've harmed their innocent and pure minds. I'm sorry to tell you, but I can't let my precious son fell for a damaged person like you. I don't allow it!!! I can't!!! You're not good for him Jimin and I believed you know it too. You're damaged beyond repair Park Jimin!!!" She pointed to the struggling young man.

"I... I... I am so sorry ahjjumma," Jimin uttered finally cried. He could understand the woman's rage and felt so shitty about himself. It hurts but she was right.

"Yeah you should feel sorry. My point here is I want you to leave my son Jimin. Break up with him, please!!! I've asked him to leave you but you know how stubborn he is. He has been avoiding me for months, so please give me my son back to me again Jiminah!!! I'm begging you, he'll listen to you," she leaned forward.

Now everything finally made sense for him. Why Jungkook ran away from home crying that night and why he kept the reason why he fought with his mother. Or how suddenly Mr. Jeon visited him that night and why Jungkook has been so clingy to him recently. It was because his mother forbid their relationship. The younger boy was fighting for their relationship and for the love he has for the young man.

Jimin didn't know what to say, how to respond to such demand. Why was this happening when he started to accept his true feeling toward the younger boy? That he started to realize how much he loved him, that he needed him in his life. That he was happy with him. Why?
