After a week...

Jungkook is upset. Really upset. Since he heard that his parents are coming, he was on cloud nine. He told his friends and even asked Mingyu to tell him some places in Seoul to go for sight-seeing. He made a list of all places during the weekends, checked the ratings of the food where they are going to dine and much more. He practically planned everything.

Today was the day, Jungkook and his parents planned for going out. They came to Seoul two days ago, Jungkook didn't go to visit them even at the airport, as he had classes. His parents told him they'll directly meet after the conference is finished, and they themselves will pick Jungkook from his university dorm. But things didn't go as they planned. The conference which was supposed to be of two days got extended to three days, because of some issues. His parents called him and told that they can visit those places tomorrow with him, they too wanted to spend some time with him, but this happened. So, Jungkook got really disappointed as he made a perfect plan and that stupid conference disturbed it. This is the reason for Jungkook's gloominess.

After the phone call with his parents, he sat at the corner of the bed, sulking. His friends watched him as the boy's expressions went from happy to sad, they definitely know that something had happened.

Mingyu : (Sat on Jungkook's bed) Umm...Is everything okay, Jungkook?

Yugyeom : When are Aunt and Uncle are coming?

Jungkook didn't speak anything, he shifted from sitting position to sleeping position facing the wall and showing his back to his friends.

Bambam : What happened, Kookie? Tell us.

Jungkook : (Mumbling) They are not coming.

But they heard it very clearly.

Yugyeom : What? But why?

Jungkook started speaking incoherently, and they couldn't understand a single word he's speaking.

Yugyeom : Kookie, We can't understand you.

Mingyu : Come on. Get up and tell us what really happened.

They forcefully made Jungkook sit and surrounded him on the bed. Boy!! The kid was on the verge of his tears. His eyes and nose were already red, and he is trying his best not to cry in front of his friends.

Bambam : Aigoo...Why are you crying? (Gently wiping his tears)

Bambam spoke carefully with Jungkook, like how you speak to a child. He hates seeing Jungkook cry, even Yugyeom.

Yugyeom is not someone who can console people properly, but Bambam can. So he let Bambam handle the situation.

Yugyeom : What did Aunt and Uncle say?

Jungkook : (Sniffling) The conference got extended and they're not coming today.

Mingyu : They will be available tomorrow, right?

Jungkook nodded his head.

Bambam : Then you can meet them tomorrow.

Jungkook : But, I planned all the things. Tomorrow they have a flight back to New York at 7, we don't get enough time.

Yugyeom : Jungkook, If not now, you can visit those places with your parents afterwards.

Mingyu : Yeah. If you really want, we can visit them sometime.

Jungkook : (Pouting) It's not about going there and visiting those places. i just wanted to spend sometime with them. Just us three. But tomorrow, I cannot get enough time to be with them. They'll be busy packing and heading to airport.

Jungkook was right. The distance between Seoul Hospital and Incheon airport is around 50km and with Seoul traffic, they need to start at 4 itself. So, technically speaking, Jungkook will be getting only 5-6 hours to be with his parents, which is really not enough for him.

Jungkook was most excited for their visit but now nothing can be done. His friends felt bad seeing Jungkook upset. They really wanted to cheer him up.

Yugyeom : So....Why don't you go and visit them?

Jungkook : Huh?!

Yugyeom : Give them a surprise by visiting them. You can join them for lunch or bring them one.

Jungkook didn't thought of it, if they cannot make it then he will. Jungkook throwed himself on Yugyeom and gave him a big hug.

Jungkook : Yugy, You are a genius!!

Yugyeom : Yeah,,,yeah..I know that.

Jungkook : Seriously, why didn't I thought of it? (Broke the hug)

Yugyeom : It's because you were busy crying, you big cry baby. (Patting his head)

Jungkook : I'm not a cry baby!! I was just upset, ok? I get really sensitive over these matters.

Yugyeom : I get it, cry baby!!!

Jungkook : I'm not a cry baby!!!!! (Ready to throw hands with Yugyeom)

Bambam : OK!! Yugy, stop teasing him.

Mingyu : It's only 9. You can take food and reach the hospital before lunch. You need any help? I know a restaurant nearby hospital.

Jungkook : Hmm...I already looked around for the restaurant, where we were going to eat. So, I'll take away from that one. Thanks, Mingyu.

Yugyeom : So now go or else you'll not make it before lunch. Shoo!

Jungkook hurriedly got down from the bed, took his phone and jacket, and went towards the door and turned back.

Jungkook : (Winking and giving the bunny smile) You guys are the best!!! Love you!!

Bambam : We love you too. Now go! Bye!!

Jungkook : Bye, guys!!

Mingyu : Bye! And enjoy!! (Shouted)

Jungkook : I will. (Shouting back)

Jungkook took the takeaway from the restaurant, he mainly took dishes his parents liked. It was near to the lunch time when he reached the hospital. Since he didn't know where to go and he can't ask his parents, he tried his luck by asking the receptionist. Surprisingly, his parents are well known in that hospital, they even provided them with a separate cabin. The receptionist was an elderly woman, at first she was reluctant on not informing Jeons about their son's arrival, but Jungkook somehow manged her, and begged her not to ruin his surprise, at last she agreed.

He made his way towards his parents cabin. The cabin had the nameboard of his parents, so he easily found the room. The cabin was very much spacious. He also asked the receptionist about the lunch time, and she said it was at 12:30. It was now 12:10, so he had more 20 minutes. He kept the order at a corner and started roaming around the room. He giggled imagining the faces of his parents when they see him in the room.

Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. He thought of hiding in a closet and scaring his parents. There were two closets in the room, with doctor coats, which are enough to hide himself. He sat in the closet, ready to close its door, whenever they arrive. He heard someone coming, so immediately closed the closet door and left a small gap to peak. He was excited to see his parents reaction. His parents arrived and they were wearing their laboratory coat, but there were two other people who came into the room with them. Jungkook was not able to see those people faces clearly and they are wearing suit. He decided to drop his act and come out as he didn't want to eavesdrop their conversation, just then he saw the face of the person who entered the room with his parents. He was Kim Yoongi.

(Jungkook : What is he doing here? I remember my parents saying they don't know Kim brothers.)

He saw them settling down on the couches. Now, he saw the face of other person. He was buff and tall, and he have dimples.

Jung-hyun : Sorry for calling you guys here. Yesterday we were supposed to meet, but we had to cancel that at end moment.

Yoongi : We understand you were busy with the conference, and no problem, we are free anyways. How are you guys?

Gyu-Young : We are good. How about you, Yoongi-ah? You became more thin, than the last time I saw you. You're not eating?

Yoongi : It's not like that. Just busy with the work, Aunt Gyu.

Namjoon : Don't worry about us. We are doing just fine.

Jung-hyun : That's good to hear, Namjoon.

(Jungkook : Namjoon...Oh! So, he is Kim Namjoon.)

Namjoon : We all thought of coming to visit you, but others were busy with their works.

Jung-hyun : I understand.

Yoongi : So, you said you want to discuss something with us. What is it, Uncle Jung?

(Jungkook : Huh!! Aunt Gyu and Uncle Jung. How the hell they know my parents?)

Gyu-Young : Umm...That...It's been 18 years and... and we thought....that...you didn't met even once...so....

Yoongi : So, you want to discuss about him? (Annoyed)

Jung-hyun : Yoongi, listen to us. We are just....

Yoongi : As far as I remember, you guys told that you'll raise him as your own. And you won't let him in our lives!

(Jungkook : Raise him? Who?)

Jung-hyun : We know, but still he's your brother. It's been so many years, why can't you just let go of it?

Namjoon : We can, if you can return us our parents.

Gyu-Young : Joon-ah, Have you never felt anything towards him, till now? Like he's been all these years.

Yoongi : He has died on that day with our parents.

Gyu-Young : We have not spoken anything in these 18 years about him, he is still your bro....

Namjoon : He..he is your son. He has nothing to do with us.

(Jungkook : Son?! But I am their only son.)

Yoongi : You have not spoken about him in 18 years, why now?

Jung-hyun : It's because, you're all grown up now, and wise to think and understand the situation. Try to think rationally!

Yoongi : Even we were to think rationally, the situation won't change, and our answer would still be the same. He's dead to us. In fact, the seventh Kim brother is dead to the whole world.

Gyu-Young : Yoongi!!

Yoongi : Aunt, if I have spoken ill about your child, then I'm very sorry. He's yours, and as you said he is a Jeon not a Kim. Your kid is better as a stranger to us.

Namjoon : Yes. We are happy with ourselves, and would like to be the same way in the future too.

Jung-hyun : (Sigh) Is that your final decision?

Yoongi : (Chuckled) Uncle, we have told our decision last 18 years ago. And it won't change.

Namjoon : Well, we are here to talk to you and not to discuss about someone who don't even exists in our lives. If this was the reason you've called us here, there's nothing to discuss.

Yoongi : So, we'll get going. (Stood up from the couch)

Gyu-Young : Ahh...Wait. We bought something for you guys.

Gyu-Young gave Yoongi and Namjoon some bags.

Gyu-Young : These are for you. Some souvenirs and kimchi that I made. And I wrote names on the gifts so that Jimin and Tae won't fight.

Yoongi and Namjoon both hugged their Aunt and Uncle. They do not hate their aunt and uncle even its now, or 18 years ago, they never did and won't do in the future, except for him.

Yoongi : Why don't you come home and give them by yourself?

Namjoon : Yeah, Jimin and Tae will be happy to see you.

Jung-hyun : We would love you, but we have some other plans.

Gyu-Young : We'll surely meet them the next time we visit here.

Namjoon : Ok, then. Bye!!

Yoongi : Bye!! Have a safe flight.

Gyu-Young : Take care and eat well.

Jung-hyun : Come, we'll send you off to the car.

Namjoon : It's not required, Uncle.

Jung-hyun : It is. Now come.

The room became silent as soon as the four exited the room. Jungkook came out of the closet after making sure no one was there.

The main emotion Jungkook was facing right now was confusion. He sat on the couch where the others sat before. He had so many questions running on his mind.

- What is the relationship between his parents and them?

- Why his parents never told him about them?

- Why the Kim brothers loathe their brother so much?

- Why they were referring their brother as his parents son?

- What happened 18 years ago?

- Is there brother really not dead? Is he still alive?

And mainly one question is still lingering in his head, is he is their brother? All the things they have said comes to only one conclusion and he didn't want it to be true. He really wanted answers. All the things they said are still in his mind. If what he thinks is true, why do they hate him. Was he adopted by his parents? But why? Do they hate him so much, that they made everyone believe he was dead.

He was afraid to know the answers. Afraid of the fact that he's not their parents son. Afraid of the fact that he head brothers who wanted him dead, and will never accept his existence. Unknowingly he started crying thinking of all the possibilities.

Jungkook : Uh...why...Why am I crying? (Wiping his tears)

He didn't want to cry. But he cannot. His tears were not stopping, so he let them be.

The only thing he wants are answers to his questions, which he will get at any cost from his parents.

Jung-hyun and Gyu-Young bid farewell to Yoongi and Namjoon, and were walking towards their cabin.

Jung-hyun : So....It didn't go the way we thought.

Gyu-Young : I think they'll never accept him in this lifetime. (Sigh)

Jung-hyun : Don't be sad. He still have us.

Gyu-Young : Yeah. He is our son. We'll be there for him.

As they were going, he met the receptionist on the way.

Receptionist : Ah...Mr and Mrs. Jeon, had your lunch?

Jung-hyun : No, we were just about to. Did you, Mrs. Jung?

Receptionist : I did. By the way, your son is so cute.

Gyu-Young : Our son? When did you meet him, Mrs. Jung?

Receptionist : Huh? Didn't you meet him? He even bought you lunch.

Gyu-Young : When? He didn't call us. Neither did you.

Receptionist : About that...he told me not to. He wanted to surprise you. And he came before lunch around 12. He went towards your cabin.

Gyu-Young and Jung-hyun just looked at one another.

Jung-hyun : (Mumble) But he was not in the cabin.

Receptionist : If you'll excuse me.

Gyu-Young : Ah..Thank you for informing us, Mrs. Jung.

Jung-hyun : Why did Jungkook come to the hospital?

Gyu-Young : We were in our cabin just a while ago, he was not there. Where he could have gone?

Jung-hyun : I don't know....Maybe he decided to roam around.

Gyu-Young : I think so. Let's go.

They both entered the cabin to find Jungkook sitting on the couch and the closet door was wide open. Gyu-Young went to give a hug to her son, who didn't hug her back. His face had tear stains, and he didn't even smiled at his parents.

Gyu-Young : Jungkoo...Baby...You didn't tell us you will be visiting us.

Jung-hyun : Yeah. We missed you, baby. (Sat beside Jungkook and hugged him)

Jungkook didn't spoke a word. Just looked at his parents.

Jung-hyun : Are you ok, baby? You gave us a big surprise by visiting us, you know.

Jungkook : I too am glad that I visited you.

Gyu-Young : What happened, baby? Were you crying?

Jungkook : Eomma....Appa....I heard you.....I heard you guys speaking with Kim brothers.

Gyu-Young and Jung-hyun had never wanted the situation to turn out like this. They never wanted Jungkook to know the truth, especially not this way. They stayed silent, not knowing what to say to their son. Jungkook continued speaking.

Jungkook : I...i decided to surprise you guys...So, I hide in that closet. I didn't meet to eavesdrop but I...(He couldn't finish his sentence)

He felt overwhelmed by the current situation. The tears again made their way. His parents were helpless this time, they can do nothing to ease his pain. Gyu-Young too started crying seeing Jungkook trying to supress his emotions.

Jungkook : (Sniffling) I...Am...Am I not....not your son?

This question was enough to break their hearts.
