Summer Sunsets

~2~

After the operation, Yoongi stopped talking, he wouldn't say anything to anyone. "Son, come on say something." Dad said as he stood next to the bed. All Yoongi did was turn facing the window, watching the sunset, a tear escaping from his eye. Jungkook was at home preparing dinner since his stepfather was out, and his mom was in bed badly beaten, unable to do anything. "I hungry bubba." Jung-mu whined. "I know baby, I'm making dinner. It's almost ready." Jungkook said as he picked up his pace. Once Jungkook finished, he took a plate to his mom and went back to Jung-mu to feed him. "Come on baby, come sit down." Jungkook said trying to get the attention the young autistic boy. "Nuuuu." Jung-mu squealed spinning in a circle. "Here comes the airplane." Jungkook said making airplane noises, making the small boy waddle over to him and open his mouth. "Good boy." Jungkook said as Jung-mu started to eat his food. "Dessert," Jung-mu said. "After you finish your dinner." Jungkook said, giving him another spoonful. "Okie." Jung-mu smiled. After a few months, Yoongi was cancer-free and he was off to college. 

Once they get settled into their rooms Yoongi walks in and nervously waves at Jungkook. "Y-yoongi?" Jungook said in disbelief as he sat up from his bed. "Yeah, it's me."  Yoongi said as Jungkook got up and hugged him. "Where have you been these past few years?" Jungkook asked hitting Yoongi in the chest. "I needed you and you were never there!" Jungkook yelled hitting Yoongi once more. "Jungkook I-" Yoongi replied getting cut off by Jungkook. "You were never there! I cried myself to sleep every night. Do you know how hard it is to live under the same roof as a rapist? Huh? Answer me!" Junkook yelled making Yoongi look down. "Will you let me explain!" Yoongi yelled shushing Jungkook. "Before you yell let me explain. I've been in the hospital for the past three years. Fighting for my life! Stage three leukemia!" Yoongi said taking his shirt off showing a long scar going down his chest from when he had a heart transplant. "Yoongi-" Jungkook quietly said. "No! You let me speak! I wanted to tell you but I was afraid of you looking at me as a freak." Yoongi said, earning a hug from the now crying Jungkook. "H-hyung I am so sorry. I got so angry, I thought you abandoned me. I didn't want to live without you. Hyung I love you." Jungkook cries as Yoongi rubbed his back. 

After their argument, they sat watching movies together and catching up on things. "Where's Jung-mu?" Yoongi asked. "He's with our aunt in Japan." Jungkook said as he started to lay his head in Yoongi's lap. "Okay, good." Yoongi said as he played with Jungkook's hair. While Yoongi played with Jungkook's hair, he fell into a deep sleep. Having a nightmare about his stepfather. "Come here." Owen, Jungkook's stepfather commanded him. "N-no." Jungkook nervously as he slowly made his way to the staircase, just getting home from school. "I said come here!" Owen yelled as he chased Jungkook up the stairs into his bedroom pinning him to the bed. It was a fight, but Owen managed to get Jungkook's clothes off and start to roughly penetrate him. Tears started to flow out of the young boy's eyes, knowing no one can hear his screams. "Please stop." Jungkook cried as Owen left kisses on his neck. "Shut up!" Owen blurted making Jungkook jump in fear. Once Owen was done with his dastardly deeds, he left the house to go to work. Leaving Jungkook in bed to cry. Jungkook rolled on his side to reduce pain from his bottom side due to Owen, he picked up his phone and tried to call Yoongi. But no answer. 

As Yoongi continued to watch television he could help but notice Jungkook crying in his sleep, so he shook him awake. "Jungkook wake up." Yoongi said as Jungkook jumped up from his sleep looking up at Yoongi hugging his waist. "It's okay I'm here." Yoongi said holding the younger. "Hyung, I need help." Jungkook said as he started to shake. "Do you need to see a therapist?" Yoongi asked earning a nod from Jungkook. "I'll see if I can get you an appointment for tomorrow. Okay?" Yoongi said. "Okay." Jungkook said. Later that day Yoongi left to go to his classes and Jungkook stayed since his classes were during the day. The younger started to get bored, so he decided to facetime his little brother. "Hi Jung-mu, how are you baby?" Jungkook asked. "I'm good. I took a reading test at school today." Jung-mu smiled. "What did you make?" Jungkook asked. "I made a 92. I messed up a few times but other than that, I did great." Jung-mu happily said. "I'm happy to see that you're doing great in school." Jungkook said. "Aunt Jing said we are going to the amusement park next week." Jung-mu said with a huge smile on his face. "I bet you are excited huh baby?" Jungkook said. "Yep, yep, yep. Very excited." Jung-mu said. "Okay, you go get ready for bed so you will be ready for school tomorrow." Jungkook said. "Okay." Jung-mu said as he left the screen. Once Jungkook hung up he decided to get dinner started for Yoongi when he got back to the dorm. Once Yoongi returned after class he was greeted by the smell of all of his favorites. "Smells good in here." The older said as he came through the door. "Thanks, I made all of your favorites." Jungkook said as he started to set the table for them to eat. Once they start to eat they talk about what they want to do after college. "I was thinking about going into the construction business after I finish school." Yoongi said as he took another spoonful of rice into his mouth. "I want to work with disabled children." Jungkook smiled. "That's nice." Yoongi said. 

A week goes by and it's spring break and everyone is going home. Once they get back to town Yoongi and Jungkook stay at Yoongi dad's house. "I bet Jung-mu is going to be so excited that we are here." Jungkook said. "Yeah, he's a good kid." Yoongi stated as he sat down on his phone. "Let's go bike riding." Jungkook said. "Okay let's change into some comfortable clothes." The older said as they went upstairs to change.
