Sacrifices (vkook)

115

The room is deadly silent after the shot is fired.

The guns slips from Ms. Jeon's hand and for a moment some type of emotions stir in her eyes before her body slumps lifelessly to the ground.

Jungkook's eyes widen and he looks behind him.

A woman with short cut black hair and tan skin stands there, her features are sharp and breathtaking.

    "Mom?" Jaewook says when he sees the woman standing there.

She drops her arm and looks over at her son for a moment before her eyes go to Taehyung, who is looking at her.

She walks over to him and stops in front of him. "Tae?"

    "M-Mom." Taehyung says looking up at the woman's face that he thought he forgot.

Jungkook's eyes widen and he looks between Jaewook and Taehyung and the woman, their features never looking more alike than they do right now.

Haeun makes a sound from where she sitting and Jaewook rushes over to her. "What's wrong?"

    "M-My baby." The woman cries. "Something's wrong with my baby."

    "She needs to go to the hospital, take her Jae." Mrs. Kim orders, her gaze drifts to the group of friends and her eyes widen when she sees Taeil, she brings her gun up immediately. "You."

Taeil feels the tension in the room expand, his friends moving away from him and it defending him.

    "Why are you here?" The woman asks stepping closer.

    "M-Mom." Taehyung says standing, pain shooting through his stained joints. "He's not bad."

Jungkook rushes to Taehyung's side when he sees the boy struggling to stand.

    "Please, I promise he didn't mean it." Taehyung says, his gaze shifting to Hoseok. "His mother was dying and s-she promised she could save her. He just wanted to save him mother."

Jungkook's eyes fall on his mother's dead body lying on the ground like she was nothing, like all this mess wasn't because of her.

Taehyung's mother looks at him and drops her arm before turning back to his friends. "Are any of you hurt?"

They shake their head silently, all of them shocked to see Taehyung's mother for the first time.

    "Jungkook, go to the hospital. I'll take you guys home. And Taehyung, we need to talk." The woman says.

    "Are you th-the Big Man they were talking about?" Jungkook asks.

Ms. Kim laughs a little, her smile identical to Taehyung's. "I am, though I'm not particularly fond of the nickname."

Jungkook nods and bows. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Kim."

    "You as well, thank you for taking care of my boy." She says with a genuine smile.

Jungkook nods and smiles. "Of course."

    "Now go." She says and Jungkook nods again.

    "I'll see you in just a little while." He says to Taehyung, kissing his forehead. "I'm glad you're okay, Tae."

    "I love you, Jungkook." Taehyung says before letting him go.
