[ Namjin ] Two years

9-Jin

Where is he ?
I was at a charity event for work and I left the kids alone for only three hours, why isn't Jungkook home?

I call Jungkook, no answer. I call him five times but he doesn't answer. So I decided to text him. I asked about every question I could think of.
I gave up when he didn't answer and I decided to go around town and scream his name until, maybe, by miracle, I could here him say he's there.
I searched for at least an hour and got no sign of Jungkook... I got back home and called the police.
While I talked to a surprisingly rude officer, I heard keys struggling to open the door. I didn't help whoever tried to open the front door.

Jungkook entered, totally drunk.
"Thank God" I cry and call for Jimin to put Jungkook on the couch. "Jimin, go to bed"
He runs to his room and I never heard of him during the whole evening.

"Now", I say turning to Jungkook, "You'll tell me what happened today for you to come this drunk home." I scream, not voluntary
He tears up but I don't budge even though I want to have him in my arms.
"You hate m-e-e" he begins crying.
"No I don't" I say, bringing him in my arms. "What are you saying?"
"I'm a failure, I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment!" he cries louder and calms down when he sees my apologising eyes.
"I'm such a fuck up-"
"No swear words. And no, of course you're not. You never disappointed me, school doesn't define how smart you are or how polite you are, nor your culture"
"But still, my notes are shit -"
"Jungkook! Stop swearing and don't put yourself down" I start, crying and sobbing "I know you work hard and I don't care about your notes, I just want you to be happy and for you to be healthy"
He hugs me tight and I can feel his tears on my shirt. He stays there for a while and I can feel his arms loosen around me. He doesn't make a noise. I realize he's asleep and lie him down and put a blanket over his body.

I go upstairs and sleep trying to forget about his problems. I never liked seeing my children upset. I always try to be cheery for them but I know they aren't always happy and it upsets me more than anything.

The next morning, I go see if Jungkook is up, he's not though and I let him sleep. Jimin isn't up either so I just cook breakfast. I could hear Jungkook yawning and got in the living room, I began talking to him about last night but it was pretty pointless since he didn't remember much about it.
"Jungkook, I know you don't remember anything but I want you to know I'm proud of you and you shouldn't put that much importance on school"
I see his eyes shine from hope and respect, which is such a great feeling.
"Listen, I don't want you to put yourself down anymore. Believe in yourself."
He hugs me again.
"You know, there's a teacher in my school, he always helps me through tough times and you kind of remind me of him"
"Well, I'm me and he is him. But I'm happy we're not the only ones believing in you"
"Thanks dad"
"You're welcome"
I leave him after leaving a kiss on his forehead which he wipes away. "Ew"
I let it go and fetch Jimin's breakfast. I go upstairs and give it to him. He takes it and I turn away.
"Dad?" he says.
"Yes?"
"When do you know when you're in love?"

Oh boy

So... I'm stupid
I just deleted that chapter, I don't know how it happened but it did...
So, this is way shorter than the original.
