A few days later....

After that day, surprisingly Jimin never saw Kevin again in the school. He was somewhere happy cause he wasn't being bullied anymore. He had asked Y/n a few times before about Kevin but everytime she just chuckled and said she doesn't know anything.

Jimin and Y/n were walking back home when Y/n noticed Noah, Kevin's friend, walking ahead of them. She told Jimin as he decided to ask him. Both of them caught up with him as Jimin blocked his way. Noah looked up and for the first time Jimin noticed sadness in his face.
Noah: Move.
He said as he was about to pass by him but he stopped him.
Jimin: Where's Kevin?
Noah: Why do you care?
He tried to escape again but Jimin blocked his way for the second time.
Jimin: Tell me.
Noah sighed irritatedly as he said
Noah: He is dead.
He said and ran away from there.

Jimin froze at his spot not being able to process what he just said. He looked at Y/n who was already looking at him.
Jimin: H-He is d-dead?
Y/n: I was about to tell you this. I got to know from a classmate that, he attempted suicide. He jumped from the terrace of his apartment.
Jimin: W-What? Why?
Y/n: Maybe because he realised what he did was wrong.
She said calmly and sighed at the end. Jimin was too stunned to speak as Y/n clasped his hand and said.
Y/n: I hope he rests in peace and I think he paid for what he did. Don't think about it much. Let's go.
She dragged him along with her while Jimin stayed silent all the time. To be honest, he felt the same. He got what he deserved.

Later he came back home, he entered his house with a expressionless face as usual. He was locking the door when a voice startled him.
Lee: You're home?
He asked as Jimin turned around only to find his uncle looking at him with a small smile. He was taken aback by the word 'home'. He never considered the place his home.
Lee: You must be hungry. I have made some pancakes for you.
Jimin's eyebrows raised a bit. This was very new for him.

Lee gestured him to sit on the dinner table as he saw a plate of pancakes with a bit of maple syrup kept on the table. He slowly went and sat down keeping his bag aside. He glanced at Lee who had that same small smile which felt genuine. Jimin looked back at the pancakes. He was hesitating but decided to try them.

After having a bite, he smiled a little as he ate the rest really quickly as if someone would snatch the food from him anytime.
Lee: Eat slowly.
He said as Jimin slowed down a little. Lee sat down infront of him on the other chair as Jimin looked at him for an answer. Answer for showing such care.

Lee: Your aunt is out for some groceries. I never actually got a chance to talk to you but today....I finally have it.
He said and sighed.
Lee: I...I really want to apologise for my wife's actions towards you. But I can't do anything....And I feel so sorry about that. Whenever I try to make her understand...She threatens me that she'll leave me. I'm h-helpless.
His voice became shaky at the end as he looked down.

Jimin's eyes teared up as he stood up and crouched down infront of him.
Jimin: It's okay uncle. I-I forgive you.
He said as Lee sniffled and hugged him tight. Jimin felt a fatherly love for the first time in his life. He was complete now. Or that's what he thought.
He was about to hug him back when he heard a shrill rageful voice.

Nina: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, LEE??!!!!!
Both of them flinched as they stood up looking at her in fear.
Nina: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME??!! HUH?!!!
She shouted at her husband as she walked towards him and held his collar.
Nina: You know what I can do, right??!!! You're getting food and luxury because of my father's money!!!! You know what'll happen to you if I leave you, right?
She asked while shooting glares at the younger one. She then dragged him by his collar to their room.
Nina: When you'll not get anything to eat then you'll understand what it costs to be unnecessarily kind to a hopeless kid like him!!!
She said as Jimin flinched when the door of their room closed with a loud noise. Jimin sighed as he felt bad for his uncle.

*Time skip*

It was midnight and Jimin was still awake staring at the ceiling blankly. Warm liquid rolled down his eyes thinking about his uncle who must be starving. He was startled by a voice.
Y/n: Crying again?
He saw Y/n standing infront of the open window looking at him with a small smile.
Y/n: The window was open and I was missing you so...
She said as Jimin nodded. She went inside the blanket as she hugged him from the back.
Y/n: Tell me.
She ordered as he sighed and narrated the whole thing.

Y/n: Your aunt is a bitch I swear.
She said annoyingly as Jimin chuckled sadly.
Jimin: Why does she hate me so much? Have I done anything wrong?
He asked as Y/n scooted closer and asked
Y/n: Don't you hate her too?
Jimin paused and thought for a while. Yes, he does. He never wanted to but he does after all the mental torture he has been through because of her. After all the verbal and sometimes physical abused she has done to him. He hates her the most.

Y/n: Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
She said as she pecked his nape and both of them slept.
