Ch. 19 Flashback

The day was bright but Jungkook didn't has time to admire the day . Fisting the strap of his bag, Jungkook ran towards his house as soon as the gates of his school opened.

No one was chasing him, neither he was excited to reach home. He was worried for his mother who might be cooking dinner for their small family with her burnt hand.

He reached home and carefully put off his shoes keeping them on the shoe rack. Though he was in a hurry, he can't just get in leaving a mess at the doorstep.

" Aah Jungkook ah welcome back home!! " his mom chimed from the kitchen.

Not wasting any time, he put his bag at its place and rushed to the kitchen.

" Mom!! I told you I will do the work after returning from school. you should rest " he argued, taking an apron from the kitchen hang.

His mom sadly chuckled " Do you think it hurts anymore Jungkook?? "

Jungkook felt sad as well. He approached his mom and hugged her " I'm sorry mom, I couldn't save you from dad. He's..... so bad. "

She run her hand on his hair " He's your dad Jungkook, you should not say him bad " she told him.

He parted himself away " Which husband abuses his own wife just because she forgot to add salt to the food?? "

" He's stressed with work baby. He doesn't do it on purpose " She explained him.

Jungkook didn't say anything. He knew it was an understatement. He has seen his mom getting abused so many times by his dad for nothing .

He took the bowl from the kitchen island " Let me do " he asked his mom.

" You can't use the burner kookie ,it's not safe " she warned him

" Neither I'm suppose to let my mom work with her one hand burnt " he replied.

" No my baby, I can't let you. But if you want to help me just do mop the floor. " she said.

Jungkook seem to think for a while " OK mom, but be careful " his mom smiled to him.

Jungkook just completed his work. He mopped the floor, settled his father's working table, arranged all the clothes in order, basically he did everything except for cooking that his mom did.

He made sure everything to be perfect, so that his dad don't gets angry and beat his mom again like last night.

He belonged to a middle class family, his family consisted of his abusive dad, lovely mom and him. His dad serves as a normal clerk in a small company, they had to sacrifice many of their wishes coz of lack of money. And this lack made his dad frustrated and abusive to his mom and him. Being just fifteen year old, Jungkook had experienced a lot in his life. His life turned all colourless since the company where his dad works, started draining . He had many friends but he lost his interest in playing or enjoying the world. All he wished was to protect his mom and then become so much rich in future that he'd never need to think to spend the money .

Jungkook's ears perked up as he heard the horn of his dad's two wheeler. He rushed to the main door to open it before even his dad knocks.

His dad entered the house limping and taking support of the doors and things around . He wasn't able to walk properly coz of the effect of alcohol engulfing him.

Ignoring the presence of the young boy, Mr Jeon straight went to the dinning room, taking gulps of the alcohol in his hand. Jungkook sighed internally praying for his dad to get normal as soon as possible.

Just the next moment he heard his mom's scream. Getting panicked, Jungkook ran towards the dinning room hoping for the best but what he saw broke all his hopes.

His dad was standing in front of his mom's fragile figure at a corner. A leather belt in his hand with which he was abusing her making her scream her lungs out.

" You fvcking *****!! You are bad luck to me "

Cursing Mrs Jeon for his misfortune, Mr Jeon didn't felt pity and kept striking her body with the belt. Jungkook couldn't see all this he ran to save his mom. He held his dad's leg begging him to leave her but nothing worked. Instead, Mr Jeon even striked him for daring to interfere in his parents matter. He pushed Jungkook away and he fell on the floor, with his head getting hit by the dinning table. A dark bruise formed on his side forehead and it turned to a lump in seconds.

Mrs Jeon 's screams and cries grew louder but Mr Jeon didn't care. Not finding any other way, Jungkook picked a thick glass plate from the shelf and broke it on his dad's head. The belt dropped from Mr Jeon 's hand and he held his head as the heavy pain started hitting him. He looked at his hand and saw the red liquid stains on it. Streams of blood started flowing off his head to his face and he fell down unconscious on the floor.

Jungkook rushed to the unconscious body of his mother. Her body full of bruises and blood that his hands got stained with her blood.

He shook her " mom!! get up mom!!! mom??!! "

He tried waking her but she didn't even budge. Jungkook started panicking more, looking at his mom's lifeless body . Pale skin and red marks making him regret ,he couldn't save her on time. Tears started falling from his eyes and he hugged her.

" I'm sorry mom!! I couldn't become a good son"

He heard his dad groaning. He didn't know what he should do now. He was so angry on his dad. He picked two more glass plates bigger than the earlier one and threw it right at his dad's face. He lost his mom, he killed his dad and ran from the very spot, not knowing where he should go.
