Chapter 30

Jungkook

"I can't deal with this right now! I have to go to Jin," I squealed in vehemence.

"You will not Jungkook! Sit down and explain yourself," haleomoni commanded.

We were back in the drawing room. After my grandmother had come upon us on the first floor landing, Jin had decided that he couldn't take much of this any longer. He had packed a small bag and left to go to his home that Jimin and I had purchased for him six years ago. I can't blame him. He doesn't need this kind of stress right now, especially with the baby and events of the recent past as well.

I know he's hurting right now and I need to go to him but my family are just as stubborn as I am.

"Jungkook, answer your grandmother," my father thundered.

I sighed heavily and looked from my parents to my haleomoni. I guess I would just have to get this over with.

So I related events from upto seven years ago, when my husband was alive and had been going through his great depression. How we had suffered as a married couple and how I had supported him through all his efforts to become a father. They listened without interruption. I suppose, I had never been so candid with them before this.

"When Jimin suggested a surrogate, I was against it at first. The idea of someone else carrying our child, never appealed to me. But over time, he was able to convince me otherwise."

I took a deep breath and continued. My parents eyes never left my face.

"Without my knowledge, he had secured the services of someone to become our surrogate but he had one condition which I fought against for a  long while before finally giving in to him. I could never deny my Park anything, as you well know mother."

My mother sniffled slightly. Her eyes were wet with tears when she thought on her lovely son in law. I looked away and continued.

"I met Seokjin when Jimin and I made a trip to Seoul. He was very captivating. I was unusually enamoured by him and with time, I soon found myself developing very strong feelings for him. I even spoke to Jimin about it but he didn't discourage me. On the contrary, he encouraged my feelings and drove me closer to Seokjin. At the time, I did not understand his motives but later on, I realised he was doing it to distance himself from me purposefully. He knew his health was failing and did not want me to witness the pain he was in."

My mother tightened her grip on my father's hand as my tears fell freely. I wiped my eyes and continued, my voice was slightly gruff now.

"As the days turned to weeks and then months had passed, I fell completely in love with Seokjin. Jimin too was crazy about him. Jin was like that. He had this beautiful personality that endeared us to him. He became the center of my being.

But my joy was short lived when he left us after he gave birth to Seojoon. My world crumbled. I searched for him like crazy until I finally gave up after never finding any clue as to where he was. Later, when Jimin was on his death bed, he confessed to me the terms of their contract. But it went deeper than that.

Years later, I encountered Seokjin by chance, and all the years melted away. I never stopped loving him. But he had a lot of personal issues that he was dealing with and we parted once again. I felt as if it was hopeless once again but we have finally overcame many challenges to be together.

I cannot go into details of Seokjin's personal problems but I can tell you that he had traversed a long and painful journey to overcome many difficulties. I admire and respect him for all he's been through and his fighting spirit to be where he is today.

I love him father. He bore our child and is now carrying our second angel. He's made me so happy mother. Haleomoni, I know you had your reservations about him in the past, but he was never guilty of the things he was accused of. The perpetrator has been brought to book since and Seokjin has now moved on to a better space in his life.

I implore you to accept him and our children. I can very well leave this home and take Seojoon with me. We can make a life away from you, but that is not what Jin wants. He does not want to separate Seojoon and I from our family. He'd rather separate himself like what he's been doing for so many years. But I can't do it any longer mother. I love him. He's Seojoonie's appa. Can't you understand that?"

I looked at the stoic expressions of my parents and sighed heavily. They were never going to understand. I got up and was about to make my way to Seojoon's room when haleomoni stopped me.

"We listened to you Jungkook. Don't you think it's only fair that you afford us with the same courtesy?"

I went to the mini bar and poured myself a stiff drink and waited for any one of them to start. I was tired and emotionally exhausted.

"Son," my father began, "we have heard you speak and we will discuss things but we need some time. I suggest that he remain at his home until we decide. You and Seojoon are still welcome to live here. We would like for things to remain as they were so there are no disruptions to Seojoon and his schedule. Whatever you have disclosed, we will ponder on it and give you a decision by the end of the week. Until then, everything will continue as normal. Is that understood?"

I took a swig at my drink and walked to the door.

"I'm going to see Seokjin now. Don't wait up."

With that, I stalked out of our home and made my way to my love. My thoughts were filled with everything that had transpired and I wasn't paying attention to the road. Before I knew what had happened, my car veered dangerously and I hit the barrier at full speed.
