Jeongguk groaned as he finally opened his eyes , the fall was bad due to the amount of trees he hit . He crawled towards the nearest tree and sat up against it he closed his eyes listening to the people walking , running , playing , talking . He listened to all of them , even the people that were sitting in cafes and business meetings .
He felt different , it was different from his home in the clouds , instead of golden gates there where rusted fences instead of golden buildings and white roads there where skyscrapers and abandoned alleyways with littered streets of trash and dirt . He felt the dirt beneath him , it fisted two handfuls of dirt sighing at how nice this felt to be human for once in a while . He turned his head to see the puddle next to him it showed his true reflection .
Although he did not look like a angel on the outside water showed his true self , a angel without meaning he thought .
" Mama look a-a homeless man " a small child gasped as she looked at jungkooks hands that were full of sand and his clothes slightly dirty from the landing. The child's mother quickly dismissed the child grabbing her hand and walking away , jungkook heard her say " Don't point , sometimes that can get you in trouble sweetie " , he shook his head getting up from his current spot on the sand dusting his pants off.He smiled softly at the animals surrounding him from the smallest insect to the huge dogs running for the sticks as their owners played with them in the park . This was his life now , he had to make right where his father couldn't.
I need clothes , proper clothes and a decent shower would be nice he thought to himself , his knowledge of the human world was pretty good , he knew all about survival skills from all the books he read about human life .
He walked to the main road leading to most houses , his father would make this easy for him he thought , but he was wrong .He sighed at the realizing that he had no money , no house to live in he was homeless and defenseless at that . He sat on the side of the road on an old tree trunk with his head in his hands soon the rain started pouring making him even more down then he already was . Suddenly a umbrella was held over him , he turned to meet the kind eyes of an elderly man , his crescent shaped eyes and his bright smile made jeongguk feel like he had all of this under control .
" come son , you cant get any worse than you look now hmm , come on now " , the man smiled lifting jeongguk up by his arm and walking to the house he sat infront of . It was decent but the smell of human food got to jeongguk first , the smell of blueberry pie and roast chicken made his stomach rumbled .
The old man smiled , " the names park ji , and my wife makes lovely food son . Come let's go " the man pushed him further into the house finally reaching the porch Ji closed the umbrella smiling even more . " marie ! Look what I found "A tiny lady with grey plaits and a floral pattern apron and dress with white pumps walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face . Unlike the old man she had doe eyes , with dimples and tiny freckles . She was beautiful for her age , jeongguk thought.
" ahhh hello son ! My names marie as you heard come on now you must be freezing I have some clothes for you why dont you shower and come eat with us ! and dont be scared we good people! " the woman laughed sheepishly giving jeongguk a hug ." thank you ma'am , sir "
" no problem son ! "
Soon after jeongguk went to shower the elderly couple called him down to eat , they all sat at a huge white table with candles and everything . Old fashioned ornaments hang and littered the shelves of the cabinets around them , but one particular picture caught his eye . It was a picture of a boy , with a smile that looked similar to the old mans smile . The boy had brown hair , and crescent shaped eyes when he smiled. A memorial plate was right under the picture . He squinted to take a closer look at what the plate said.
Park jimin
Died - January 7 2013
A loving son , friend and brotherHe frowned , not remembering a park jimin in heaven he shook it off when the food arrived . It was that blueberry pie that caught his eye , and the roast chicken .
" I never had these before..looks good " they nodded " my wife is the best cook ever son ! Dig in "
And with that he ate happily , soon he had seconds and thirds and more , the couple was happy to feed them knowing a boy like him was happy with their food .Jeongguk slept that night in one of the rooms upstairs , the old lady had just came from wishing him good night when her husband walked into the passage " honey he reminds us over our jimin so manly and kind "
Her husband nodded " I know you miss jimin but we cant not let our minds believe that he is our son Marie it would hurt us more . We should let him stay until he is well enough heck even forever . I know he will be happier this way "" but he probably feels uncomfortable let's wait and ask him if he wants to stay with us in the mean time ji "
" are you going to pray today marie "
" yes goodnight dear "
Her husband nodded kissing her on the cheek before going to the bedroom. Marie walked to the window kneeling on the ground with her hands over her eyes . Crying softly .
" god hear our prayers please bring jimin safely to where you are , please god "
She bowed her head , crying softly into the night .
Jeongguk stood by the door , listening to the womans silent prays hoping he could help her .
