Jungkook's POV
I waltz up to Y/N's office door giving it three solid knocks.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

I wasn't scared or nervous. Not at all.
Why?
Because at this very moment nothing makes me more tense up than going to confront Namjoon hyung. Therefore I settled with this.

However as the clicking sound of heels was heard getting closer from the other side of the door, an uncontrollable instinctive shiver went down my spine. For some weird reason, I felt like I might regret this trip, and that I was about to uncover something really, really detrimental.

.

.

The door clicked open as Y/N without her mask on, smiled gently at me gesturing for me to enter.
"Please do come in, Jungkook."

I nodded and entered the room with calm and unhurried steps.

"Do sit, Jungkook. Would you like coffee, tea, or me-?"

A moment of silence followed.

Y/N coughed as I choked slightly after at her words.

Y/N paused as she waved her hand frantically in the air, "I'm so sorry! It's a habit!"

Blinking, I shook my head as if saying a 'don't mind, don't mind' to her.

"Um, so coffee, tea, or water?", She repeated noticeably slower to ensure that she doesn't speak of the question wrongly again.

I wasn't really thirsty at all but it would be rude to reject her kind offer wouldn't it?
"Just water will be fine."

Y/N nodded before pouring me a glass of water. She gently yet swiftly placed it right in front of me and on the table. Both of us sat down facing each other.
Y/N interlocked both of her fingers together with her elbows pressed against her office table as she looked at me almost domineeringly as she asked, "So why are you looking for me? What have you come here for?"

She seemed to be in some sort of a business mode as she spoke. Each word and syllable coming out clear and confidently, without a single stutter.
Can't be said the same about myself though...

I know that mere moments ago I was flexing that I was feeling certain and not nervous at all, but the reality is always more different than your own imagination. However, now that I'm sitting here right in front of not just Y/N, but also the revered Ethereal from SSFIRE. It's a whole lot more overwhelming.

Taking in a deep breath, I immediately shot out all my questions in a nervous rave.
"What's my past like? Is there any chance my parents are alive? Did they really commit suicide? What crime were they accused of committing and who died? Also, what do I not know, according to Namjoon hyung and you?"

Y/N looked at me with her eyebrow raised, looking very slightly taken aback by my number of questions and probably of how quickly I spoke. I was like a machine gun, just spewing out everything I wanted to know like crazy.

All was quiet for a while. A few minutes have passed and still, Y/N was silent. I had thought that she didn't manage to catch my questions and is confused, thus not responding, but apparently, I was wrong, she was just thinking very deeply.

Y/N let out a sigh.
"Jungkook, I can't possibly answer that much at once. I'll break it down into small parts. Starting from your parents alright?"

"Okay" I answered back, easily agreeing to her terms.

"Alright. So I'm sure that you're aware that Namjoon's parents and your parents were close right?"

I nodded my head in affirmation. Of course I did, otherwise how would I still be so attached to Namjoon hyung till now? Plus, I've spent a lot of time and effort to track and trace Namjoon hyung down before leaving that stupid orphanage.

"Alright, listen closely then."
"That day, your parents were sitting on the backseat of Namjoon's parents' car. Let's call Namjoon's mother as 'A' and Namjoon's father as 'B', okay? Because I can't be calling all of them Mr Kim or Mrs Kim. That would be very troublesome"

I nodded my head once again, understanding what she meant. As since both Namjoon hyung and I share the same last name, it would've been extremely, extremely confusing.

"Alright. So your parents were in the back seat of the car while Namjoon's mother, 'A' was taking the wheel. With Namjoon's father, 'B' sitting shotgun. All of them were chatting happily until a loud thud was heard... The car had hit something. And it was something big. As all of them hopped out of the car they had realised that they'd knocked over two people. And those two people died. Making 'A', technically having to have committed a murder."

Y/N paused for a moment, taking a sip of water from her own glass cup.

"However, 'A' didn't want to go to jail. After all, who would like to stay in jail right? Anywho, so 'A' devised a plan with 'B'. They framed your parents regarding the accident and the death of the two victims. Therefore they took the blame from them."

I was starting to get a little angry as I heard the fact that Namjoon's parents framed my parents!
What the shit?!
No wonder they told me they were innocent!
Suddenly, another random thought struck me.
My voice trembled, "T-hen i-if they framed m-my parents...their deaths..." I trailed off.

Y/N looked at me so sorrowfully that I could see the whirl of despair that was buried deep within her eyes.
"I-I'm so sorry..."

I stood up, "IT CAN'T BE TRUE. NOW THAT CAN'T BE TRUE!"

Tears started to roll down my cheeks as the feeling of rage and betrayal burned my soul.
They killed my parents!
They murdered them in cold blood!
For what?! Huh?! For what?!
Just for self-preservation, that's right!
They didn't deserve this!
How could they have committed suicide?
How dumb of me to would have thought that they would so foolishly take their own lives?!
They were INNOCENT!

So that's what Namjoon hyung was hiding from me...

A sniffle could be heard as my eyes continued to water. The sense of betrayal was so overpowering.
So he knew, and he chose to keep it from me? What the f***king shit.

All of a sudden, the only thing I could hear was the loud thumping of my chest. It was getting louder and louder, pounding faster and faster at every passing second.

I could vaguely hear Y/N saying something, but it was too drowned out for me to make out anything. However, one familiar voice was clear in my head. A voice that I had come to despise. I knew he resided in me, he is a part of me, and yet I too knew that he was nothing but a mere fraction of my imagination.

"How does it feel my boy? To hang with the child of the people who so brutally murdered your parents?"

Get lost! I don't need to hear your damn voice right now!

"Is that so, Jungkook?
I wonder...how disappointed your parents must have been. To look at you spending each day with that vile spawn.
They must despise you now Jungkook."

They're not like that!

"Oh, what do you mean?
It's not like you are colluding and hanging out with your parents' murderer's child...
Oh wait, you are! Hahahah"

...

"Shame on you jungkook, shame on you. Your poor, poor parents...
You ungrateful brat!"

I-I...I-

"You what?! Huh?!
You're one horrible child, aren't you?
They hate you.
They hate you.
They hate you!"

No. No.
Nononononononono
They can't!
Nonononono
It's not true!
No!

-

"JÛÑGKØØK!", I heard a faraway voice calling for me.

It seemed to get closer and closer.

"JÛÑGKØØKJÛÑGKØØKJÛÑGKØØK!"

The voice lulled me away from my panic as it got less blurred. And I finally recognized who'd been calling out to me.

"Jungkook!"

I-it's Y/N.

A gentle smile entered my vision as my eyes cleared and my heartbeat started to calm.

"You're alright Jungkook, you're okay", Y/N cooed as she softly rocked me like a baby.

Her kind demeanor soothed my own as I temporarily forget all my worries. Allowing myself to succumb to her allaying and pleasing voice.

"I'm okay...", I whispered out as my eyes gradually fluttered close.
