"Welcome" was how Jungkook was welcomed to Hoseok's home as he silently entered, not responding to Hoseok's greetings.

His heart started beating rapidly as he saw his father sitting on the couch, his left leg resting over his right one as he glared at Jungkook.

Jungkook, with no words, exchanged between him and his father, sat in front of his father, anxious about what he was about to talk about.

His mental state wasn't at its best today since so many things were running through his mind. He looked at his father whose anger hadn't calmed down, and to break the bond of the silence surrounding the living room, Hoseok came with two glasses of water in a tray.

"Eun-sang came at father's place in the morning" Hoseok's words made Jungkook flinch a little. He was about to widen his eyes but he forgot that he was hiding behind a mask right now, so there was no need to react to Hoseok's declaration.

"He told me that you took a guy to the carnival and also for shopping. Is it true?" His father spoke up, eyes boring lasers in Jungkook's unperturbed ones.

Jungkook wanted to lie but there was no point in doing so, his lie would have been caught anytime soon.

"It is" He spoke so placidly as if the person they were talking about was just another "fuck" of his.

"Is it the same guy that I saw when I came to your house?" Hoseok asked, sitting beside his father.

"It is" The repetition of the answer was irritating Mr.Jeon as his eyebrows twitched with anger, his right leg shifting over his left one now.

"Does this mean that he is staying with you at your house?" He asked through gritted teeth. Jungkook didn't want to answer the question as he just stared right into his father's infuriated eyes, but he took a breath in as he spoke.

"He is" He spoke, averting his eyes, a furrow etching between his eyebrows.

"Who is he? Is he your friend? Why come you have never told us about him?" Jungkook was bombarded with questions that edged his anger and frustration more than ever.

"I am not a child to tell you everything that happens in my life, dad" Jungkook spat out, balling his hands into fists.

"You were never a child, to begin with, Jungkook" His father retorted, shutting Jungkook's mouth up.

He wanted to deny the accusations made by his father but he couldn't because they were true.

"I am actually quite surprised that the guy survived living with you for this long" Hoseok spoke in amazement while Jungkook glared at him, knowing how his elder brother was loving watching him lose his composure.

"Eun-sang told me that you were quite intimate with that man...Are you two dating?" He asked in a stern voice which made Jungkook's mask break as expressions of outrage appeared over his face.

"We are not!" Jungkook growled angrily, making the two flinch by his sudden confession. The two looked at each other and then at Jungkook who was breathing heavily because of his anger.

"Whoever he is, needs to get out of that house because of this behavior of yours" His father spoke while Hoseok nodded his head to his agreement.

"I'm sure he is scared there. Are you forcefully making him stay?" Hoseok asked, widening his eyes.

Numerous blames were put over Jungkook as he silently listened to them, his mind black at this point.

"If you have so much problem with my behavior then why are you putting so much effort to make me the leader, huh? Why not make Hyung the leader? Oh, you can't because he's a beta, right?" Jungkook spoke up, silencing Hoseok's blabbering mouth. A frown appeared between Hoseok's eyebrows as he gritted his teeth and gripped Jungkook's collars.

"You should have died the moment you killed my mom, you fucking psychopath!" Hoseok yelled as he pushed Jungkook back, who ended up falling over the couch, his angry eyes turning emotionless once again as he stared at the coffee table placed in front of him and then at Hoseok who was red with anger, his insecurities showing on his face.

"I bet it won't take you time to kill that guy too, you monster!" Hoseok spat as he stormed out of the living room, shutting himself in his bedroom.

Silence once again surrounded the room as Jungkook's father stared at him with no sensation of pity or sympathy towards his son.

"Take yourself seriously, Jungkook. You've killed a child and my wife. Hoseok wasn't wrong when he said you might harm that boy too" His father spoke coldly as he left the house, leaving Jungkook in silence and agony.

He could feel his hands and heart trembling and the only way to make this pain stop was to suffocate himself with liquor instead of tears.

"Now tell me, what the fuck happened in these past five hours?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook answered his question with silence and a turn, staggering towards the stairs.

"Answer me, Jungkook!" Taehyung shouted as he gripped Jungkook's hand, stopping him.

"Don't touch me!" Jungkook roared, pushing Taehyung away with so much force that Taehyung ended up falling on the ground.

"Don't fucking touch me" Jungkook whispered with a wavering voice as he lurched himself up the stairs.

All Taehyung could do was stare at Jungkook's limping figure going up, shock and confusion lacing his eyes. Every emotion and outrage he was feeling before had vanished as shards of glass and blood flashed in front of his eyes.

This time he was gonna do what he couldn't do yesterday. And so, he picked himself up and dashed upstairs. Today, he didn't feel nervous or anxious as he twisted the knob and charged himself towards Jungkook, enveloping him in a hug from behind, making the man flinch.

Jungkook immediately pushed himself away from Taehyung, his hands trembling as he put them between him and Taehyung.

"Do-don't you fucking come close to me" Jungkook panted as he backed away from Taehyung, flinching when Taehyung took a step forward.

"I-I, t-these hands, they'll kill you! Stay away from me!" Jungkook yelled as he threw himself on the wall behind his back, his hands blocking Taehyung from coming any close to him.

"Why would you kill me, Jungkook?" Taehyung gently asked the drunk man, as he carefully took a few steps forward, looking into Jungkook's terrified and teary eyes.

"Because I'm a fucking monster!" Jungkook yelled as he threw the lamp kept on the nightstand on the wall behind Taehyung, making him flinch.

Taehyung gulped as he cautiously held Jungkook's trembling hands, intertwining their fingers together. Jungkook flinched because of Taehyung's warmth and he wanted to pull away but Taehyung had a tight grasp on his hands.

"Leave me before I kill you too, Taehyung" Jungkook finally burst into a loud cry, and Taehyung was shocked and in pain to see Jungkook crying like that.

No words were heard as Jungkook's wailing filled the room. Jungkook took his hands out of Taehyung's grasp as he crouched down on his feet, putting his head between his knees and arms behind his head.

"I didn't do it" He kept chanting as Taehyung looked at him, quivering with fear.

"It wasn't me who did it" Jungkook furiously shook his head as he mumbled. Taehyung crouched down in front of Jungkook.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung softly called out, keeping his hand on Jungkook's knee, making the other flinch.

Jungkook slowly looked up at Taehyung, tears running escaping his eyes, and hurting expressions covering his face.

"I didn't kill my mom, Taehyung"
