Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

LXXXIII

This chapter is mainly focused on Jungkook, just like a subtle background story. I figured it'd be good and because I haven't updated in awhile. Enjoy <3

BUSAN 1801

Jungkook laid on his bed, well death bed for that matter. The covers were pulled all the way up to his chin. He knew he was dying, hundreds of people around him were.

His face was faded dull grey as the dark circles under his eyes were sunken into the depths of his eye sockets. His thin lips were the color of a dead rose and cracked with blood and dried skin. His heartbeat was erratic.

He just had to be the first one in his family to be struck with the Plague.

His beautiful eyes were closed, it hurt to open them because of the mild fever he had. It never seemed to go away, the home remedies and medicines never worked to make it go down.

Just before he was struck him and his family planned on leaving Busan for Seoul because of the plague going around. They didn't want to be infected as well, but that changed when their only son was.

They were just getting ready to leave when he started showing the symptoms of having the sickness that they were warned about.

"My poor baby" his mom sobbed as her husband held her back from touching him.

That hurt Jungkook the most, not getting to feel her warmth one last time but he knew deep down he couldn't.

"Eomma" He whimpered, He didn't know if she could hear him. She could, and it broke her heart even more to leave him as he was still conscious.

"We have to go" His dad choked out as he felt his heart break. Tears welled up and started to cascade out the corners of his eyes.

He didn't want his family to leave him but he knew they had to. He wanted them to live the rest of their lives happy in a place that didn't have the plague.

"You're going to a better place Jeongguk" she sniffled as he felt the lump in his throat, "A place where you don't have to worry about us. We'll be ok son"

He whimpered in pain, he was losing the people he loved.

"Let's go" His father spoke and left. It broke his heart even more to hear him leave without a goodbye.

"I love you so much, so so so much" she whispered before following him.

"I'm sorry" Jungkook whimpered. It was his fault that he got sick. If only he followed the safety precautions then he wouldn't be in this state.

But he didn't know that that's not how the plague worked. It was a disease that could affect anyone at any time. He just had to be one of those unlucky people.

After he heard the carriage left, Jungkook never felt more alone in his life. He was an only child growing up and lived in a poor household.

It wasn't much to others but it was his home, and he loved every second of it.

Jungkook silently cried from the pain in his head and his heart. "I'm sorry" he spoke again as his heavy eyelids closed for a light nap.

A few houses down Seokjin was strolling through the town. Watching all the families around him rushing to leave, or get away from the plague.

They never paid any attention to him and he kind of liked it. There were always hunters in his life ruining his moods.

As he walked with his head head high and shoulder back along with his arms he saw an older couple in a carriage passing by.
