"the secrets"
_________________________________________

My fingers traced the thing on Jungkook's right chest.

It wasn't clad in wires or circuits, it was stitched.

It looked like a scar.

A circle scar that was knitted brown and just laid there on his right chest. Taehyung must've been the one who stitched it here.

I mean, Taehyung isn't a scientist who specializes in robotics for nothing. He's also that so-called Harvard graduate he's always bragging about.

Jungkook looks at me with blank eyes, I look at the scar one last time before covering his body with the grey shirt that stuck close to his body.

"Go change into some sweatpants while I go to Taetae hyung," I tell him and he nods like an obedient child before walking to the closet we shared and he pulled out his black sweatpants before walking in the bathroom.

As the bathroom clicked closed, I walked to the bedside table and looked at the jewelry box my father gave me before he died.

Should I bring this with me?

I sighed before taking it and pressing the small unlock button before prying it open.

But it didn't open.

I tried it again and again, but it didn't even open, not even an inch.

Maybe it needs a key? Every jewelry box needs a key.

I looked around my drawers and boxes to see if I remembered of any memory of dad giving me a key for the jewelry box.

But I didn't find it.

Why would dad give me this box but not give me the key?

As I was still thinking about where the key is, the door to the bathroom swung open to reveal...

..Jungkook in his sexy sweatpants.

"Noona? What's that?" He asked me whilst approaching me.

He scanned the golden box in my hands before his eyes flashed white, probably trying to scan it. Then his mouth hung as he looked it at it, then to me.

He squinted his eyes and stood straight before giving me a small smile.

"Its my jewelry box, dad gave this to me before he died," I told him and he nodded before walking to the living room, probably to watch his television.

I smiled before placing it inside my suitcase bag, which was beside my luggage just in case I had to buy a few things there and I had to use the bag to stuff them in.

I walked outside my bedroom and my eyes widened to see Taehyung standing in a brown sweater and black skinny jeans, standing in the middle of the living room, right beside a sitting Jungkook.

"You wanted to talk?" Taehyung said before showing me his phone of a text I sent him earlier.

"Yeah, I just... had to tell you the news about... about...," I say but was cut off by a small sob coming from my mouth, tears started to form once again and Taehyung's eyes widened as he rushed to me, engulfing me in his embrace.

"Let it out, then you can tell me," he says softly and he rubbed my back as I continued to let all my tears roll down from my cheeks and onto his sweater.

"M-mom..," I managed to let out as he continued to rub my back.

"What about her?" He whispered softly as his head turned to Jungkook, giving him a signal to stay silent.

"Sh-she's gone..," I said as I looked up to his face.

Sometimes, even though Tae's a dumbass, he can be one of my most needed persons in the whole universe. Because the man knows when to be serious and silent. He knows me like an open book, and he knows what I've been going through ever since when we were young.

"Oh... I'm sorry," he said, he himself was also surprised by the news.

My mom is literally Taehyung's second mother. Ever since his mom and dad divorced, he stayed with his dad in Geochang until his mother died while she was in Thailand. My mom has been taking care of Taehyung since he doesn't come back to his house often.

Taehyung's eyes started to tear up as well, he looked at me before wiping a tear that was rolling down his cheek, followed by another one.

"Its gonna be alright, everything will be alright," he says between tears before engulfing me in another tight hug.

"Would you like to come and visit her with me?" I ask him and he looks at me sadly before pouting his lips, his bottom lip sticking out.

"Do you think Mr. Kang will let me? I have lessons with Hanhyo today," he responds.

"Then, when are you gonna visit her? Chaeyoung will be upset," I tell him and he chuckles.

"I'm sure Chaeyoung noona will understand, I'll go to her when we go back home for our break, just send some regards to your mom," he replies slowly as we started to hug each other again.

1 PM

Only an hour before boarding.

I also reminded myself earlier in bringing the brown book which was my dad's journal, I placed it inside my handbag for safekeeping while I go back home.

Taehyung stops infront of the train station, with Jimin and Jungkook at the backseat.

"When are you coming back?" Jimin asked as he craned his head towards, he felt bad for my loss too.

"I'll be back on the third day at 5 PM, Taehyung you better pick me up," I said and he nodded slowly, still not recovering from the news.

The four of us got off the car and headed towards the station where I took my ticket, we were standing infront of the scanner, where only the people who have tickets can enter.

"I'm going now, I'll see you Tae," I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and Taehyung wrapped his arms around my waist, burying his face in the crook of my neck.

"Call us, take care Chubs," he replied as he smiled at me, his eyes still puffy.

"Bye Jimin," I said as I engulfed him a big bear hug in which he returned.

"Take care of yourself Eunhee," he said and I smiled before moving onto Jungkook whose eyes were already glossy in seeing me.

"Noona, I want to go," I said as he started to sniffle.

"Jungkook, I'll be back, I won't go away I promise," I reply as I caressed his cheeks, planting a kiss on his forehead as he smiled softly at me.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and he crashed his body against mine, hugging me tightly as I hugged him back by placing my arms around his neck.

"I'll go now, bye guys!" I said, releasing myself from the hug whilst waving my arm, Taehyung and Jimin waved back while Jungkook stood there with his hands in his sweatpants pockets.

I turned my heel to leave when I felt a strong force pulling onto my arm.

And my lips crashed into his.
