(The following content is all a part of Jungkook's dream. He hadn't dreamt of the complete event until now. Also, Seokjin and Namjoon are sleeping in Seokjin's flat as usual, while Taehyung and Jungkook are sleeping in Taehyung's room together. That's when Jungkook dreamt of what happened two years ago...)
Two years ago.....
On August 29th.....
"Dad" Jungkook whisper called his father. Mr. Jeon looked out to see Jungkook clinging on to the window sill.
"Are you trying to die?" he asked his son. "No, but imma kill you soon" Jungkook hissed. "Nonsense" Mr. Jeon said, turning back to the computer. "This is useless" Jungkook muttered. He got down and marched into the office.
"Kook, did you lose your mind?" Mr. Jeon asked, baffled at how his son entered his office coolly and sat on the chair in front of his table.
"You do know that this is my office, right?" he asked. "And you do know that tomorrow is your silver jubilee, right?" Jungkook asked, arching an eyebrow and picking his nails with a mischievous smirk.
Mr. Jeon's face paled.
Upon receiving no response, Jungkook looked up with horror written on his face. "Don't tell me you forgot" he said in a warning tone. Mr. Jeon ran his tongue across his lips and looked down.
"DAD!!! You are soo horrible! I can't believe this! When was the last time you visited mum's cafe?" he asked. "Ummmm......two years....ago?" Mr. Jeon asked hesitantly, unsure of the actual time.
"Dad, I hate you! You are gonna make this special for her, okay? At this rate, I won't even be surprised if she was cheating on you!" Jungkook exclaimed. "Haha, very funny" Me. Jeom deadpanned. "What should I do?" he deadpanned.
"Surprise her. Go to her cafe and hug her and do whatever and announce that it is your silver jubilee and then throw her a party or something"
"It sounds soo regular" Mr. Jeon said.
"Something is better than nothing, dad! Why are you like this?" Jungkook asked, sounding irritated. "Okay, okay" Mr. Jeon sighed.
"Or better, prank her!" Jungkook exclaimed.
"Go and act as if she has been cheating on you and create a scene and then when she starts crying or something, come up with the biggest bouquet or something beautiful that she is gonna love. Prepare a nice speech for her and then throw a party for her" Jungkook said excitedly.
"This sounds even worse" Mr. Jeon deadpanned. "Come on, dad!! You have to do this. Or else, I will disown you" Jungkook declared. "You will disown me?" Mr. Jeon scoffed.
"Ugh, you know what I mean. I will come with you to the cafe too. Let's do this, dad!" Jungkook punched the air. "Okay, fine. Now get lost, I need to prepare a speech" he said, smiling at his son endearingly. "It better be good" Jungkook warned him before leaving the office.
"Guess what! We are pranking my mum!" Jungkook exclaimed. "'We' in the sense?" Hoseok asked, pinching Jungkook's waist as the younger returned to the tattoo parlour. "Me and my dad" Jungkook said.
Just then, they heard the parlour door open.
"You get them, I need to pee" Hoseok said, leaving for the washroom. Jungkook went to the outer room to get the customer and froze immediately.
"Please come. What tattoo would you like?" he asked with a poker face.
"I want a chrysanthemum on my left arm" the customer answered with an equally poker face.
"Please take your seat. I'll get the equipment"
"Sure" the customer said and followed Jungkook to the inner room.
Jungkook got the equipment and started applying rubbing alcohol on the customer's arm.
"Why chrysanthemum?"
"My wife loves that flower"
"Any other reason?"
"Nope" the customer said, popping the 'p'.
"Is this a sudden decision or did you plan for this tattoo?"
"It's sudden, thanks to my son"
"Oh, I see. You are very lucky to have that son"
"Oh, I wish. I am literally the most unlucky person to have that son" the customer said sadly.
Jungkook looked up at the customer and scowled.
"You look like an angry bunny" the customer scoffed.
"I HATE YOUUUU" Jungkook whined, hitting the customer's leg.
"Yeah, I love you too. Now do it fast. I have other works too" the customer replied.
"Ohh? Mr. Jeon?! Arey wah! I didn't think you would ever come here!" Hoseok exclaimed as he walked back into the room.
"Oh, hey, Hoseok!! Nice to see you! It's been soo long, hasn't it?" Mr. Jeon greeted Hoseok. "Yeah! This baby told me you are pranking Mrs. Jeon. Why, though?" Hoseok asked, spanking Jungkook and making him yelp.
"Your baby forced me into it" Mr. Jeon said, receiving another smack and a scowl from his son. "Ohh, quite the naughty one, aren't you?" Hoseok asked, looking at his boyfriend.
Jungkook cleared his throat and flipped his imaginary shoulder-length hair back. He fisted his hand as if he were holding something and put it up in the air. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" he declared.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, you potter head" Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Yeah, glad to know that you know I love the Weasleys more than I love you" Jungkook said, sassing his boyfriend.
"Aaaand I love the Granger girl" Hoseok smirked, receiving a glare from him.
Mr. Jeon cleared his throat. "You know that I am right here, right?" he asked. "Yeah, we do" Jungkook chuckled, bringing the machine out of it's box.
..........................................
The next day......
August 30th.......
"Dad, I will sneak in first, and signal to you when she goes inside" Jungkook said.
"Okay" Mr. Jeon said as he and his son waited outside the cafe where Mrs. Jeon worked.
Jungkook sneaked into the cafe and slipped into a booth from where he could watch his mom without her noticing him.
He waited until she went into the kitchen and signaled his father to get in. Mr. Jeon came in with the bouquet and placed it behind his table, where it wasn't easily visible.
He sat at a table that was far away from Jungkook. He patted his pocket to make sure he hadn't forgotten the necklace he had bought for her. He sighed in relief, feeling the small box.
He pretended to be busy on his phone while waiting for his wife to come out of the kitchen. Mrs. Jeon came out after a few minutes, with an order on a tray and a smile on her face.
Jungkook smiled to himself, looking at his mom's smile happily. He watched as she passed right in front of his dad without even sparing a glance at him. 'She didn't see him, I guess. He doesn't come to the cafe. So she wouldn't expect him, obviously'Â he thought.
"Take the break five minutes early, darling. I miss you" Jungkook heard the person on his neighbouring booth say. He rolled his eyes. 'Typical lovers' he thought. "Nope" he stiffened, hearing his mother's voice. "You gotta wait, baby" he was sure it was her.
Jungkook got up, his eyes ready to pop out of their sockets as he stared at his mom, who was still talking to her 'boyfriend'.
He continued to stare at her until she turned back and locked eyes with him. He saw her expression change from a smile to poker to horror, blood completely draining from it.
"Is he your ex or something?" the man asked her, noticing her pale face.
She couldn't reply. She started trembling as the tray fell down, breaking into pieces.
Mr. Jeon looked up from his phone to see what the ruckus was about. He rushed to his wife when he noticed her standing in the middle of broken pieces of a tray.
"Jungkook, what the hell?! Why are you just standing there? Help her!!" he yelled as he walked towards to them.
She whipped her head towards his direction the second she heard his voice. She started trembling more, if that was even possible.
Her eyes were almost about to roll out of her sockets as she stared at her husband. Jungkook still didn't move from his place.
"Why do you guys look like you've seen some ghost? Are you both alright?" he asked, wrapping an arm around his wife and turning her to look into her face.
"Hey, fuck off! Don't touch her!" a man suddenly pulled Mr. Jeon off Mrs. Jeon. "What the fuck? Who the hell are you?" Mr. Jeon asked, glaring at the man, ready to fight him. "Her fiance!! Don't you dare touch her. Who the fuck are you?" the man asked.
Mr. Jeon's face paled as he turned to his wife. Mrs. Jeon's legs gave out and she fell to the ground. The man knelt beside her and wrapped his arms around her. Mr. Jeon stared at her for two whole minutes.
Jungkook came out of his trance and walked to his father.
"I ASKED YOU A FUCKING QUESTION! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU??" the man yelled at the two, who were staring at Mrs. Jeon.
"Never mind. I will see you later, Jeon! Or maybe not" Mr. Jeon whispered the last part before dragging Jungkook out of the cafe.
Jungkook silently walked back to his parlour. He spent the night at his boyfriend's house, sobbing into his neck without telling him the reason. Hoseok spent the whole night consoling the younger and rocking him, trying to get him to sleep.
Mrs. Jeon returned home that night, only to see all her belongings packed and placed near the door.
"I love you enough to let you stay this night. I don't want to see your face anymore. Don't show me your face ever and don't even think of contacting Jungkook after this. Spare your invitation, you don't have to call us for the wedding.
You are supposed to get your fucking face out of this house before sunrise tomorrow. You can sleep in the guest room tonight" Mr. Jeon said with a monotonous voice and a poker face before walking back to his room.
Mrs. Jeon was beyond horrified at what had happened.
She knew this day would come. If not this way, she would have had to walk away some or the other time. But she didn't expect it to come so soon, in such a horrible way.
Her fiance had figured out who Mr. Jeon actually was and had cancelled the engagement before sending her home.
She was utterly devastated. She neither had her fiance, nor her husband.
*********TRIGGER WARNING (SUICIDE)*********
She suddenly made up her mind and walked into the guest room. She took out a pen and scribbled an 'I am sorry' on the wall. She tied a rope to the ceiling fan and hung herself to it, knowing this was the only way out.
She had no where to go. She had no one who would listen to her.
She knew that no one would come into the guest room the whole night.
She knew that she would escape all of this.
She took a deep breath before kicking the stool off and choking herself.
*****************************
Do you guys remember Namjoon's tattoo? A chrysanthemum on the left arm.
Does it ring a bell?
Yup, Jungkook drew his mother's favorite flower, his father's tattoo, on Namjoon's arm.
It was the one that kept reminding Namjoon of his mother.
