Love Beyond Limits
invisible
His gaze remained fixed on his stepmom and stepbrother, their faces illuminated by the setting sun, their laughter blending with the sweet, sugary scent of cotton candy.
jk
They're so happy. They don't even see me🙂
Jungkook was hungry. He hadn't eaten breakfast. There was nothing left. Not a single crumb. He'd watched his stepbrother, devouring the last of the cereal, his stepmom, Mrs. Kim, barely glancing his way.
jk
(Stomach rumbling)
My stomach's making that hungry noise again🙂
jk
Maybe they'll share 🙁 (mumbled)
jk
Maybe they'll see I'm hungry 😓
jk trailed off, his voice choked with unshed tears. He wished they would look at him, acknowledge him, see him. jk wished they would offer him a bite of their cotton candy, a small gesture of kindness.
jk
I guess I'm just invisible
jk stared at the ground, his heart heavy with a sense of abandonment. he felt so small, so insignificant. jk was just a shadow, a ghost in their world
jk
Maybe I should just go home
jk
Maybe they'll forget I'm even here
jk stood up, his legs shaky. He turned to leave, his back stiff, his heart aching. He couldn't stay. He couldn't bear to watch them, to be reminded of his own insignificance
He walked away, his small figure disappearing into the crowd, his loneliness a heavy weight on his shoulders. He walked until the laughter of the children faded, until the sweet scent of cotton candy was replaced by the salty tang of his own tears. He was alone, a small, forgotten boy, swallowed by the vastness of his own sadness
He found an empty bench and curled up on it, his thin blanket offering little comfort against the chill of the evening air. He closed his eyes, his stomach growling with hunger, his heart aching with loneliness. He fell asleep, his dreams filled with images of his family, their faces blurry, their laughter distant
He sat up, his eyes searching for his family.
The playground was empty, the laughter of the children replaced by the quiet rustle of leaves
jk
i-i don't know the way b-back home😟😢
He looked down at his leg, a sharp pain shooting through him
He'd fallen asleep on the bench, his leg dangling over the edge. He'd twisted it in his sleep, and now it was swollen and throbbing.
He cried, tears welling up in his eyes.
jk
W-what am I going to do?😢
they left
He sniffled, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. He was so lost, so alone. He didn't know what to do. He was just a small boy, lost in a world that had no room for him.
Suddenly, he heard a voice
？？？
Hey, kid, what are you doing here all alone at night?
Jungkook turned around, startled. He saw a man, maybe fifteen years old, standing behind him. The man looked kind, with a gentle smile on his face
jk
I... I was with my family 😢 (stammered, his voice trembling.)
？？？
Left what do you mean😟
jk
They were here, playing (pointing to the empty playground)
jk
But then they just... went away
The man asked, noticing Jungkook's injured leg
jk
My leg hurts(whispered)😢
jk
I twisted it when I fell asleep
？？？
Don't worry, I'll help you
He knelt down in front of Jungkook, his eyes filled with compassion.
jk
Jungkook (Whispered, his voice barely audible)
jin
I'm Jin 😊 (extending his hand)Nice to meet you, Jungkook.
Jungkook hesitated for a moment, then took Jin's hand. He felt a flicker of hope, a glimmer of warmth in the cold darkness of his despair. Maybe, just maybe, he wasn't alone after all
hyung
Jin helped Jungkook to his feet, gently supporting his injured leg
jin
Come on let's get you home😊
They walked for a few minutes, Jungkook leaning heavily on Jin for support. As they approached a small, cozy house, Jungkook noticed a warm glow emanating from the windows
jin
This is my place (stopping at the doorstep) Come on in😁
Jungkook hesitated, unsure if he should enter a stranger's home. But Jin's kind eyes reassured him. He took a deep breath and stepped inside
The house was filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies. A young man, with warm brown eyes and a gentle smile, stood in the kitchen, stirring a pot of soup
jin
He's hurt and needs some help. You can call us hyung, Jungkook😁
rm
I'm Namjoon. Welcome to our home 😁
jk
Thank you (mumbled, his voice still trembling)
rm
We'll take care of you 😁
Jin gently guided Jungkook to the couch, placing a soft cushion behind his back. "
jin
I'll go get some ice for your leg (left)
rm
Do you want some soup? (Offering Jungkook a bowl 🥣)
Jungkook looked at the steaming soup, his stomach rumbling with hunger. He nodded shyly, accepting the bowl
Jungkook smiled, a small, hesitant smile that quickly transformed into a genuine grin. The soup was warm and comforting, the noodles soft and flavorful. It was the first warm meal he'd had in what felt like forever
jk
Hyung is a great cook too, you'll see 😊
Jin returned, a bag of ice in hand. He gently placed it on Jungkook's injured leg, wrapping it in a towel
jin
We'll take care of you, Jungkook You're safe here 😊
Jungkook looked at Jin and Namjoon, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the kitchen lights. He felt a sense of peace wash over him, a sense of belonging that he hadn't felt in a long time.
