MY Last Days!! (Taekook) 05

Continue...........

Because he was Abelia's older brother, Eunwoo showed some degree of camaraderie toward Jungkook, but that was all. His shallow friendliness stopped with one question and ended as soon as he declined.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

I'm fine. 🙂

CHA-EUN-WOO

I see you're going out.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

I need to take care of things.

JEON ABELIA

Eun.... Ah! Jungkook!

A young girl poked her head around the corner and came running to hug Jungkook.

Jungkook grabbed the railing hard since he was on the edge of the stairs. Noticing this, Eunwoo quickly put his arm around his (jk) waist. Kook's eyes widened at eunwoo's arms wrapping around his. He quickly took his hands off him when he saw his (jk) shocked expression.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

*eyes widen*

CHA-EUN-WOO

Lady Abelia, it's dangerous to hug people here. * admonished*

JEON ABELIA

Sorry, eun. I'm just excited to see my brother.

Hearing eunwoo's worried voice, Abelia laughed playfully and nodded her head.

JEON ABELIA

Jungkook, why didn't you join us for breakfast today?* asked with a smile*

Jungkook looked down at his little sister, who had her face buried in the nape of his neck while clinging onto him. He tried to smile. Then, as always, he gently patted Abelia on the back.

Abelia was absolutely lovely, but kook hated her at the same time. And what he despised the most was himself for having those feelings.

JEON ABELIA

Where are you going, Jungkook?

JEON JUNG-KOOK

I have somewhere to go. Anyhow, Abelia, you have to be careful on the stairs.

JEON ABELIA

😅😅I knew you would catch me.

Abelia had grown a lot and was smiling so warmly now, but there was a time when she would not speak of her wrongdoings for fear of being reprimanded. Of course, it was kook who had always taken the blame. Now, as those moments flashed through his mind, kook had to make a conscientious effort to keep his thoughts from showing on his face.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

Don't believe in me.* muttered in a low voice *

JEON ABELIA

Pardon? * Abelia's reply made Kook shudder*

When he raised his head, he saw Abelia still smiling like an angel and looking like she hadn't heard his words. Over his sister's shoulder, koom could see eunwoo's strange expression.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

It's nothing, I heard eunwoo has come to check up on you. You should go along and get it done so you can get well sooner.

JEON ABELIA

But eun is always nagging me. And I feel so much healthier now! So, I want to go out with you.

Abelia's blond hair tickled Kook's fingers as his younger sister recited his complaints. Kook hadn't been granted either the beautiful wavy hair or the lovely personality.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

No. Eunwoo came all the way here to look after you.

JEON ABELIA

But.....

JEON JUNG-KOOK

At least you will live. *mumble*

Kook bit his tongue, keeping those words to himself, and looked away.

Abelia was fourteen and still at an age that allowed her to act like a child. However, when Kook was that age, the attention that he needed was robbed by Abelia's sickness and Feldon's constant injuries. Looking at his little sister's bright smile, a fit of ugly jealousy and resentment budded inside Kook as he thought.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

That should have never happened.

JEON ABELIA

Jungkook, can I please come with you? Please? *begged*

Eunwoo looked at Abelia and grabbed her shoulder, pulling her away from Kook.

CHA-EUN-WOO

Lia, you're upsetting me. I came here at the count's orders to check up on you.

JEON ABELIA

But......

Abelia looked at her brother with eyes full of regret.

Kook bit his tongue. He felt like he would say something wrong given the awful mood he was in.

CHA-EUN-WOO

Besides, I heard that Lord Jungkook had a very important and urgent matter to attend to. It would put him in a tight spot if you kept being stubborn.

JEON ABELIA

Is that so?

Abelia looked at the older omega with longing eyes.

Rather than saying anything, Kook forced a smile to try to reassure his sister.

JEON ABELIA

It must be nice that Jungkook gets to go out all the time.....

Abelia put her head down, looking disappointed.

Seeing her, Kook felt his gut churn. His sister was obsessed with him, so he always had to be by her side. Because of that, Kook hadn't been able to make even one decent friend. He could count on one hand the times he had hosted or attended tea parties. His clenched fist trembled. There had been times when he had also wanted to go out and be with friends-days when he had tried to focus on something else, trying not to resent his family.

JEON ABELIA

Then would you bring back delicious treats from the market? Like skewers and juice! I've always wanted to try them!

Abelia raised her head with a playful expression in her eyes.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

Okay.

Kook answered in haste because he wanted to leave right away. He bowed his head slightly in gratitude to eunwoo. who was looking at him with strange eyes. Then he turned to go.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

☁️☁️ I feel like I'm going to puke.☁️☁️

His eyes darkened as he went down the stairs. He felt sorry for Abelia but also couldn't help but feel jealous of her. Kook found himself to be hateful and disgusting. His steps were precarious as if he might collapse any minute.

~~Flashback ~~

COUNT JEON

We're sorry, jungkook. Enphric has fallen off the horse and we need to go to the academy to see him. You'll be fine on your own because you're a good boy, right?

JEON JUNG-KOOK

Little kook: But today is my birthday...

COUNT JEON

Your brother could be hurt.

JEON JUNG-KOOK

Little kook : What about father.....?

COUNTESS JEON

Your father has headed to the academy already. Let the butler know what you want for your birthday. Let's have a party next time. That's all right with you, yes?

Like two actors on a theater stage, Countess Jeon and little Kook were speaking under a spotlight in the dark in Kook's memory. The conversation had taken place when he was four years old. In the end, the countess hadn't even waited for Kook's answer before she had turned to leave the mansion. Little Kook had just stared blankly at her back.
