The Truth Untold [DISCONTINUED]

《11》

"J-Jonhae..."

Jonhae woke at the terrified voice of Sumin. The time was before sunrise but a little but light could be seen at the eastern sky. Jonhae went closer to Sumin to check what happened

"What is it Sumin?"

"L-Look" Sumin handed Jonhae the picture with shaky and sweaty hands

Jonhae took the picture and his eyes widened

It was a black and white old picture of the lady they met earlier. The picture frame was like that off the dead peoples. The the date of death was given, 1945

At that moment, Jonhae didn't feel scared but he felt sad. Maybe the soul of that old lady didn't get peace after her death. She just wanted these young boys to pray for her soul

"Sumin, let's pray for the lady"

After doing the traditional prayer they learnt a bit, they stood up and took their bags.

"Should we leave?"

"I don't know"

"Jonhae! Sumin!!"

The two boys heard a voice and looked over there outside the temple. Yoongi was standing there with taking heavy breathes. He must have ran here.

Yoongi ran to the boys and engulfed both of them into a tight hug close to his chest.

"Where were you two!? Do you even know how much worried we were!?" Yoongi was still breathing heavily. The worries in his voice was obvious

"I'm sorry dad" Sumin hugged Yoongi back

At that moment, Hoseok came running. Jonhae saw him and wiggled out of Yoongi's hug and ran to Hoseok

"Mum?"

Hoseok looked at him with angry and teary eyes. Jonhae tried to touch him but Hoseok slapped away his hands

"Don't talk to me" Hoseok said with angry and shaky voice

By then, the others also came except SeokJin and Ahnjin. Seokjin was beating Ahnjin and Taehyung wasn't talking to Minyoung, same as Jonhae. Everyone looked worried as hell. They were searching for them since dawn
Sumin and Jonhae hid the picture of the old lady behind themselves because they didn't want their parents' pressure go high

The way back was cheerful but not as it was before. This time, Jonhae and Sumin sat together in the bus. Both of them were quite. Hoseok and Taehyung still wasn't talking to their kids. Seokjin still was attempting to hit Ahnjin if Namjoon wasn't stopping him

Reaching their neighbourhood, they all went to their own houses. Hoseok still was quite so Jonhae also didn't try to talk. But it was hurting both of them and they knew it.

"Mum?" Jonhae called Hoseok entering his room

"Mum, I'm sorry"

"Sorry? For what?" There was still anger in Hoseok's voice

"For...making you worry"

"It doesn't matter right?" Hoseok fake laughed

"I mean, you have grown up, you are allowed to do whatever you want without informing your mother for once. Isn't that it?" Hoseok smiled at Jonhae

"Mom I'm sorry"

"I'm fine. You don't need to care about me or worries. I don't probably even  have any rights over you-"

"Mom stop it!" Jonhae shouted cutting of Hoseok's sentence

"You are my first priority in everything and you know that" Jonhae held Hoseok's shoulder tightly

"So, stop this shit"

"Do you even realise, how much worried I was?" Hoseok looked at Jonhae with teary eyes

"How I felt when I couldn't find you anywhere around me, in this forest. How much negative thoughts about you were haunting in my mind, do you even know?" Hoseok said with shaky voice

"Maybe, maybe I was over reacting, being too protective, I know you are capable to take care of yourself, but. I can't help but worry for you"

"I-I still think like ?-" Hoseok's voice was breaking and Jonhae hugged him tight

"I'm sorry mom. I'm really sorry. I'll never do that again" Jonhae kept hugging Hoseok, "I'll never ever leave you because I love you the most, I'll never love anyone else more than you"
