It was Sunday morning when Jungkook received the tragic news.
He was lazily lying in his bed right that time, watching Iron Man in Netflix while wearing his Iron Man merch such as socks, shirt and even the Iron Man toy watch a kid traded with him in exchange for his figurine, unfair trade one might say but Jungkook thought it was worth it.
Halfway through the screenplay, there was a loud knock on his door causing him to groan out loud and roll off his bed, trudging his way to the door. Usually, he'll just yell if it was the maids but this time, he was pretty damn sure it was his mom. Her knock was abnormal and comes in a series of patterned beats, like she's playing the bongos or something.
Jungkook opens the door to see his mom standing in front of him, wearing her usual coat dress looking completely dolled up again.
"Yes mom?" He asks lazily.
Mrs. Jeon pursed her lips, not sure of how to break the news to her son. She knew the boy was fond of the old guy so he might take the news a bit hard. "Guk, let's just head downstairs, shall we?"
Jungkook raised his eyebrows, tilting his head a bit as he watches his mother walk away. He sighed and walked back to his bed, grabbing the remote to turn the TV off then he takes his Iron Man slippers under the bed and slips them on before making his way out of the bedroom.
When he got downstairs, he immediately regret his decision of not changing his attire beforehand. He thought it was merely a family matter, for just the him and his parents but turns out, it still was but there was another family involved.
In their living room, he found his mom sitting on the couch across of Mrs. Kim and, to which Jungkook clenched his teeth, a particular guy named Kim Taehyung.
His mother noticed him and tells him to sit beside her. Jungkook obediently follows, his eyes darting to Taehyung and he could almost swear that his insides was boiling in anger when he notice how Taehyung was smirking at him, definitely mocking his getup. Jungkook glares at him, lowkey giving him the middle finger with his hands placed on his thigh.
Mrs. Kim cleared her throat, causing both boys to break their conflicted eye contact.
"So, uhm," Mrs. Kim spoke, her voice sounds raspy as if she just cried earlier which, judging from her puffy eyes, she may had, "As we all know, the Kims and the Jeons had been running a long time partnership, right?"
Jungkook fell silent, he glances at Taehyung to see the guy looking down at the floor.
"A-And just yesterday," Mrs. Kim stuttered, she bit her lips as tears started to well up in her eyes. Taehyung places his hand on top of hers in hopes of comforting her.
"My father passed away." Mrs. Kim barely manage to speak up as she hugs her son, Taehyung, and cried on his shoulder.
Jungkook frowned. "You mean Grandpa Kim?"
Taehyung looked at him and the two met each other's gazes. They both know who he was.
"Yeah." Taehyung said softly, patting his mother's back.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Jungkook looked down. He could remember Grandpa Kim back from his childhood days. He was such a lively man who loved to play with him. Even if they weren't exactly blood relative, he felt like a family to him. Afterall, he was the only grandfather he had.
Mrs. Jeon stands up and sits beside Mrs. Kim, offering her a box of tissue.
"There there, it's okay Yoona, I'm sure he's doing great up there." Mrs. Kim, or 'Yoona', finally sat properly, letting go of her son as she pulled a piece of tissue paper.
