Factitious [Jikook]

XLVIII: Sprout of Forlorn

unedited...

"you are really a pathetic human being to reckon at your mother's words, and you become more wretched to believe to that guy... open your eyes jimin, stop being dumb and blind... he doesn't love you nor care for you, cause if he does ⸺he wouldn't fell in taehyung's mischief nor to the influence of alcohol to commit such sin... being a victim cannot justify what he did..."

"shut up! Shut up! Stop babbling nonsense things!"

"stop being naïve for once jimin! Stop being selfless and be selfish for once! Use your head and don't let your heart blinded you from reality! Wake up in your sweet dream! And let go of your fantasy that everything is like a fairytale, not every story ends in happy ending, some ends in tragedy... and I won't be surprised if yours end up like Romeo and Juliet. One gonna fall in misery while the other end up lifeless..."

"stop! stop please..."

An hour passed and Jieun watched her son sleeping figure on the bed, she couldn't help to grit her nails in anxiety. She's too clueless about what's happening to his precious baby, she hasn't seen her son like that before. All the mess the latter done is now back in their original places, but all the sharp objects has been removed from the latter room. The empty right side of the bed sunk when Jieun settled herself next to her son. 

What happened earlier scares her, it's like her baby turned into someone that she didn't know. Her loving gaze turned into worried one, when Jimin started to writhe feebly, and moan in pain, his breathing became labored as a bead of cold sweat started to form on his forehead and entire face. Mrs. Park hurriedly engulfed her son into a tight warm hug, rubbing Jimin's back gently with a soft hush. 

"stop! stop please..."

The latter murmur in agony broke his mother's heart, Jieun didn't see jimin so broke like this, even the latter confession in his 8th grade crush was rejected. The small ball of fluff didn't take it seriously, saying maybe that the guy wasn't for him. He is that bright kid that always sees the silver lining in every problem he encounters, and he always shares everything to his mother, even the tiniest and uninteresting thing that's happening to him. But why Jieun felt like she missed something a week ago: her baby is still bright like the sun, but this week his aura suddenly drops and changes into dull, lifeless one. She wants to ask him but at the same time she doesn't want to stick her nose onto it.

"please.... stop..."

The sleeping boy murmured and Jieun pulled her son even closer causing Jimin's wet face buried on his mother's chest, Jieun kept on hushing him, rubbing her right hand on Jimin's back vertically. Eyes start to water as she doesn't know what she's going to do. Then the name rolled out in the latter's mouth gave her hope. 

Jungkook... 

She tries her best to put her son into a peaceful slumber and once she succeeds, she hurriedly searches for her son's phone. A triumphal smile form on her once troubled face when she found the phone, without thinking twice she searched for the idol's number, and it took her a couple of minutes when realization hit her, of course Jimin wouldn't just write 'Jungkook' in his contact. So, she searched for a name that was quite cheesy... Then her gaze fell at the weird name in jimin's contact. 

kookie❤❤❤

Her nose scrunched in disgust, cringing at the name jimin gave at the idol. But she brushed it off for the meantime it wasn't the time for her to drown at it, she called the number and it only took two rings for her call to be picked up. 

“thank god! You finally called baby… I'm dying here because you didn't pick up any of my call——”

Jungkook's babbling halted when Mrs. Park cleared her throat, face a bit flustered at the sudden outbursts from the other line. 

“sorry to dismay you jungkook-shi, but it's me jimin's mother...”

Jieun tried her best to stifle her laughter, and cringe at the younger male's every word. Surely, if her son is the one hearing the male's words there is no doubt that the latter is squealing like a crazy fangirl. She can hear the awkward laugh in the other line, causing her to shake her head. Young love is surely fascinating... 

“I'm sorry...”

Jieun heard the latter uttered and she can imagine that the idol is bowing while repeating his words, a light chuckled escape from her lips. There's no doubt that the two are deeply in love with each other, but why does her son doubt the idol's feelings for him? 

“stop apologizing you didn't do something wrong… And about jimin, I want to ask you something, and I want you to answer me truthfully jungkook-shi.”

The words of Jimin's mother brought anxiety in Jungkook's system, his palms started to sweat as his heart began to hammered in his ribcage. He gulped the lump in his throat before he uttered a silent yes with a nod. 

“Did the two of you fight? Or did he tell you something?”

Mrs. Park asked not beating behind the bush, the questions brought frown on Jungkook's nervous face. 

“no, we haven't talked since the last time he visited the agency… he wanted me to focus on our upcoming comeback, so we agreed that none of us will contact one another, because he himself wanted to focus on his school matters...”

Jungkook answered but half of it is a lie, he heard a heavy sigh from the other line.

“I see, it's very jimin so I don't doubt your words...but can I ask you a favor jungkook-shi?”

“anything Mrs. Park… I'm very much pleased to help you...”

“can you come over right now? Something happens to jimin and I think you're the only person that can help him, he tried to hurt himself jungkook, and I'm afraid that he'll do that again once he wakes up...”

As soon as those words left her mouth, the tears started to roll down on her cheeks stifling her sobs. On the other hands jungkook's phone slide in his hold as Mrs. Park words hit his ear, he hurriedly fished his keys and ran straight to his car, drove off straight in the younger male's house. Not aware of the blossoming forlorn in the younger male's heart.
