31: Iodine

Valley Of The Dolls - Marina and The Diamonds

__________

It took a lot of will power for Jungkook to not run out that door and get as far away from here as possible, yet he knows that he can't do that as much as he wants to..

She will always find him and then he will most likely actually die.

So with a few deep breathes he turns around, facing the woman's familiar office before sitting down on one of the leather chairs in front of her rosemary colored desk. Iodine is in the midst of taking her time to move a few papers and folders aside, not even sparing Jungkook a lot with her gloved black laced hands that connects with the blouse over her body organizing everything to complete neatness. She remains with a dark look in her eyes before putting everything aside and finally looking up at him, an cold look on her face.

"Why are you here?"

Her voice never fails to intimidate him to bits.

She's so terrifying.

Jungkook nervously rubs his hands together, "Little Gem had a cocaine overdose, along with a few beatings.... I found out that Yeonjun was giving him the drugs so-"

"We agreed that I would never see your face around here again, even if it comes to family," She growls lowly, leaning over her desk, "If the kid is doing drugs than that's on him. He's eighteen Jungkook, close to nineteen. He should be responsible enough to look after himself!"

It stabbed Jungkook so hard to the snarling words from her lips, yet he still managed to maintain his head high with the little to no dignity he had, "How can he look after himself if he's never had anyone he can look up to?" He says back, fighting hard to not pour it with an attitude, "Our father is a literal psychopath, my mother is a drug addict that fucks different guys every day for money and practically abandoned us. My sister is left dealing illegal shit just so she can have money for the both of them. I was in a fuck up mind set before leaving. He clearly doesn't have good influences around him!"

Iodine purses her lips and narrows her eyes, "And that's not my fucking problem! My problem now is the fact you came waltzing in here, beat one of my kids when you know damn well the rules around here, especially when you said you weren't coming back!"

Jungkook is left to keep his mouth shut, avoiding her glaring eyes. He remembers being in this type of scenario many times in the past, where she would scold him for stepping out of line. Before Jungkook wouldn't care but still listened to her, now he has grown to keep his mouth sealed and forced to understand where she's coming from.

This is her streets.

Her property.

Everyone down stairs or involved with her are her kids, and he was once her kid.

That was before she sent him to leave to have a better life than being here. She always saw Jungkook's potential go far beyond these petty street affairs, and she wanted him to go as far as he wanted to as well.

At that time, they both knew it was a wise decision for him to go, Jungkook had to leave as much as she wanted him to go.

That doesn't mean she has lost any type of affection towards him. As she looks at him now with his head down, remaining calm as she scolds him, she knew he already grew up.

He's not Raven anymore, now he's Jungkook.

He's not a boy but a man.

It's about time.

Iodine only leans back to her desk with a more relaxed figure, moving onto the important issue for the ravenette, "Who beat up Little Gem?"

Jungkook slowly perks his heads up, grinding his teeth against his lip, "Jeno, from Segas. He's always messed with Little Gem in the past and no matter how bad I would beat him up, he just never gave in."
