jungkook POV :

The weekend felt so long without Jimin and Taehyung. They both told me they were tired and had to help out with things at home, so I just let them be.

So when Monday came again, I was excited to meet Jimin and Taehyung. They were one of the few reasons I told myself to stay strong and stay happy.
I walked down the stairs to see my mother and father sitting at the table eating breakfast. They were ready to leave for work as they were dressed smartly ... as usual.

I didn't bother meeting them. I didn't have the heart to. Walking towards the door, I stopped in my steps when I heard my father call me,"Jungkook. Come here."

I had learnt my lesson ... I wasn't going to disobey him. I walked over to him with my eyes trained to the floor. He stood up, and towered over me like it was nothing. I felt so inferior standing underneath him.

Suddenly his hand came up and I couldn't help but flinch. I was scared ... no ... terrified of him.
His hand still wavered in front of me, until it landed on my tie. He fixed my tie for me and spoke gently,"Calm down. You're acting like I did something horrible to you. Suck it up. You're a big boy now."

I nodded without a word and turned around, only to be met with my mothers stern eyes. She fixed my hair with her fingers and I felt her long nails comb my scalp. She placed a small kiss on my cheek and whispered,"You know we love you right?"

I could hear the complete blandness in her voice. She didn't mean that. They didn't love me. They just brought me into this world to take over for them. Nothing more. I was nothing more.

Like before, I found I couldn't say anything. So I just ended up nodding again. Before they could say anything else, I walked out the door to get in the car to school. I couldn't stand having them around me like that for so long. Thankfully they were going to go on another business trip soon after. I just had to hang in until then.

I got to school and I finally saw Jimin and Taehyung. They were both talking to ... y/n? I saw Taehyung make eye contact with me and within seconds, Jimin and Taehyung were walking towards me with guilty expressions plastered all over their faces.

I sat in my seat while they stood in front of me.
I smiled at him,"What's wrong? You guys look like you just killed someone."

Jimin swallowed anxiously as he replied,"Nothing ... just in case you were wondering why we were talking to y/n. We wanted to know the situation between you two now."

I nodded my head,"Oh yeah. About that. We're working it out. I'm trying to just forget and move on and so is she."

They both looked like they finally understood and sighed a breath of relief. However, Taehyung's next question made me feel stiff,"If you guys are okay now ... would you mind being friends?"
