Junkook PoV

As I sat down on the hotel room's bed, I heard Rachel's knocks. Saying there will be a dinner with the American CEOs that partnered with us. I have to be there and get dressed, blah blah. 

What I know is that I'm in no mood to talk to anyone.

I'm frustrated. 

Pissed at everybody. 

I'm sick and tired of feeling lonely. There's no one to share the loneliness to. 

Man, I wanted to flip the table in my room and just throw everything on top of the cabinet. Break all the glasses of the hotel room and smash the refrigerator. But a phone call got ahead of me. 

Dammit, who wants to talk to me at this hour?!

"Hello?!" I shouted.

"Yeobuseo? Jungkook!!!" 

2 loud men said. 

"What do you guys want? I'm not in the mood, you know."

"Uh-huh, I knew it, my gut feelings are always right," the first one said. 

"Yeah, well at least I didn't say: "Jungkook's in the bar right now!" or some other stupid things," another said. 

"Bam, Yugyeom, what do both of you want?" 

Yugyeom laughed, "First of all, I told Bambam to call you because you, young man, feel lonely right now. Am I right or am I right?"

"None of this is helping, I'm hanging up--"

"AH. AH. AH. WAIT, WAIT!! SERIOUSLY WE CALLED FOR A REASON!!!" Bambam shouted. "Don't listen to Yugyeom. Yugyeom, you piece of shit."

"Get straight to the point."

I heard Bambam sigh, "Well Aunt Shin-Hye got hospitalised. Looks like someone didn't get informed. We're here, bud."

"Yeah, I mean, your representative for Jeon foundation said to keep it a secret from you in the meeting a while ago. Absolute crap, we should change your workers," Yugyeom followed.

I smiled, "Good to know some people cares."

"Wha-! Hey, of course we care! It's just that I'm busy with Lisa nowadays," Bambam laughed. "What, you jealous that you're still single, Yugyeom?"

"Jungkook's single, what am I to be afraid of?" 

"No, of course not. He ain't single. He has this big crush to Lisa's friend. The doctor one."

I laughed, "Let's not get into that, yeah? Anyway, thanks for calling. I needed it."

"Of course!! Your hyungs always talk about love life and problems. We're here to party!!!!!!!" Yugyeom yelled.

"They're not entirely talking about that all the time, they're just in that part of like to talk about getting married. Sooner or later, we will too," I said. 

"Which is why we do not want to stay near Jinyoung-hyung, Mark-hyung, Jaebum-hyung, Youngjae-hyung and most importantly, the beast himself Jackson-hyung! Marriage here, marriage there. Scotch on the rock is better~" Bambam laughed. 

"Bam, no, you sound like a 50 year old," I said. 

"Yeah, you idiot, stop acting swag," Yugyeom told him. "Anyway, Kook, you're going to the Londong thing too right?"

"What London thing?" 

I nodded along, "Yeah, aren't you too? See you there?"

"Sure, why not!" 

"HE-HEY!" Bambam shouted. 

"Don't worry Bambam, you're my plus 1. YIEEEEEE!!!!" Yugyeom laughed. 

I laughed at Yugyeom. 

"Ew, gay bitch. I don't date low class bitches, Yugyeom," Bambam sounded like a girl. 

"Stop it, guys," I laughed. "I have a favor, though."

"OOH!!" they said in unison. "SPY SQUAD!!!"

"Look after the information they're keeping from me," I said. 

Bambam 'tched', "Since when did we keep hidden information from you? Dude, we're like the noisiest people in the world."

"No, Jackson-hyung is," Yugyeom and I said in unison. 

"Well played, boys, well played," Bambam sounded like those men in the movies. "Seriously, now. Of course, Jungkook. We know how insecure your life as the Jeon heir can be. I mean look at me and Yugyeom, being absolute creeps. We obviously know your father is just..trying to protect you."

Yugyeom laughed, "What is this? Hwarang? No, bro, no. Jungkook can learn how to protect himself. He's a big boy."

"No, what I mean is, there's civil war between Uncle and Aunty. Yugyeom," I heard Bambam snap. "They both come from rich families, you think there's no tug of war here? And considering Kook's hyungs siding with Uncle Soo Jung, there's obviously no one he can trust. Use your brain, big guy."

"Ooh, so before Jungkook can even become the official CEO, they gotta play the game on who gets Jungkook? Like who's side Jungkook is on?" Yugyeom asked. 

"Yeah," Bambam answered. "Anyway, we're mental care, Kook. Don't worry."

I sighed, "My hyungs sided with dad? I'm not picking up the information myself."

Bambam sighed, "The reason why they're almost always absent right now, is upon your dad's request. For one, I was asked to go to Japan and do some work for your dad but I'm a lazy asshole, so I said no. I believe Taehyung-hyung is there in Japan instead of me."

"Oh! Yeah! No wonder why I met him at the International Airport! I flew in from Busan a few months ago and he was running towards the Tokyo flight," Yugyeom shouted. "God, Kook. You're life is pretty messed up right now."

"This is absolutely petty fight," I said. "Has any of you contacted Cole?"

Yugyeom scoffed, "Of course, we did. What are we amateurs?"

There was an awkward silence.

"Not cool, bro, not cool," Bambam said. "But anyways, Kookie, just know we have your back and all. Maybe your hyungs are doing it for the sake of their careers too, and both of us are always here, bro."

"Yeah, Kook. Don't feel frustrated either. Just remember, you're the luckiest among us. Favorite child, favorite friend, handsome, rich and all. Oh, yeah don't flip the table and drink beer too," Yugyeom followed. 

I smiled at these 2, "Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the call right now. I'm gonna hang up then, I'll leave really early to Hollywood and Universal Studios."

"Bambam, I told you we should've went to the airport a while ago. He's going to Universal Studios!!! Greet Ginny Weasley for me please!! Ugh, Bambam, you son of a bitch, we could've been in LA by nore and gone to the theme park with him!!" Yugyeom whined. "Buy me a wand, Jungkook!!!!!!"

"It's just short, I'm escaping again tomorrow. Alright, I'll see you in a week, bye guys," I said. 

"Bye."

"GINNY WEASLEY, OKAY?!" 

"Shut up, idiot."

"No you shut up."

"No you!"

"You!"

I ended the call before they can quarrel. 

Both of them always quarrels. 

But I'm glad someone gave me a call to know if I'm alright. 

Someone actually cares for me. 

Made my mood brighter, actually. Bambam and Yugyeom have always been the type of people to lighten the mood, especially Jackson-hyung. He's the entertainment king among all my friends. 

Instead of getting angry, like what Bambam and Yugyeom said, I should stay positive. I took my phone and texted my mom to get well.

Even if we aren't in good terms. The whole family isn't, but someone's got to be the mature person. And that's gonna be me. 

Il-do might actually tell me to not care about my mom, but she's still the person who raised me. Past and present may differ but the similarity is that they are still the same persons. 

So is this my first step into the truth?
