Simon was lost in this whole game. He didn't understand what was happening. " Dad threw me out when he knew" she spoke calmly again but still in tears. Knew what? Simon was lost again, he didn't know what she was talking about, he had no hint of any of what she blubbing about. But he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Gwen looked up at him and thought, 'why was he not asking anything? Was he not asking because he didn't want to be in a position to help me. Does he know already?' seeing that she was lost in thoughts, Simon helped her up as he spoke. "Am sorry I took advantage of you when you were drunk. I was drunk too so.."
"But am not sorry, and am not asking you to be, Simon" she spoke quietly. Her voice was nearly horse but she didn't mind. "Gwen" he called and she looked at him without answering him, so he continued, "Can you forget about it?" He reached for her hand but Gwen spoke first. "Did jungkook ask you to tell me this?"
"No, Gwen it's my decision. I don't think you even want me to tail you just because of the mistake we had once.." simon explained but her expression changed, she seemed lost and betrayed.
.....
Jungkook had invited his personal doctor since Jimin seemed to have a fever. Earlier in the day he had tried waking him up but jimin wasn't doing so. Instead his temperature kept raising although he tried all aids to keep the temperature stable. Since he wasn't much of a good care taker, he contacted a doctor, Mr lee and invited him over.
"Mr.Jeon..."
" Stop it with the formalities, it's jungkook" This was his doc ever since he could remember. "Jungkook" he repeated and continued. "His condition is worse than the last time I visited. I don't understand why you keep on with the harsh ways" Jungkook's facial become irritated as soon as the doc spoke. " I know you have a terrible temper but..."
"Could you do what I brought you here for and leave instead of doing other people's jobs" he spoke with irritation all over his face. "Do you think all that happened to him was my fault? If he had stayed out of my way, he would have been fine by now" Mr.lee looked disappointed but he couldn't show it more, he knew this kid could be a stinging bee and with no cure but he couldn't keep quiet either.
"This is the same state I one time found you in. Jung...." Seeing that jungkook's eyes had darkened, he stopped immediately and changed his statement as he turned and started parking his belongings back into his briefcase. "His out of danger but he should rest more and his meds are a must. He has a terrible fever"
When he turned back to jungkook, his facial was still the same so he bypassed him slowly and walked to the door as he said farewell. "Uhmmm...I will be going Jungkook" he spoke as he grabbed the lock.
"I think you got it the first time.." Jungkook spoke as he turned to face Mr.lee's leaving back and continued, "It's Mr.Jeon"
"So back to the formalities"
Mr. lee smiled before closing the door behind him.
"Such an annoying old man" jungkook groaned as looked back at the sleeping Jimin.
...
"How dare that son of bi..." Mr.Jui's voice echoed but he was interrupted by Rosie.
" Uncle don't swear" he narrowed his gaze at her and asked her instead. "What were you doing when this happened?"
"What? What did you want me to do, seriously?" She had tried to warn him not to stay there. "Guys relax, am fine" Tae groaned from the couch where he was laying." You have a broken wrist for god's sake Tae." Mrs Kim spoke worriedly, they left together with his sister but she was surprised how Rosie came home alone.
Although she asked her where her brother was, she didn't answer and pretended to be so tired and sleepy. "I called your phone but you switched it off as if it was the right thing to do, am I not that important?" Mrs.kim felt the urge to cry, but Tae got up to comfort his mum who was nearly crying. " Mum, stop exaggerating this" he paused and looked at his uncle before continuing,
"Besides, i don't have a broken bone, it's just a sprain and bruises. Mum, Uncle..... it's gonna be fine." He promised. Rosie was just sitting on the couch besides him slicing fruits and after she gave them to him. He looked confused. " Oh my God Rosie, am not sick, it's a sprain."
"And they are just fruit FYI" she persisted. But Tae really hated apples. "APPLES? Why the hell would you give me these, so many...I can't." she gave up and tossed them on the table. "I need to speak to jimin..." Tae was worried. "Why don't you teach your son how to let bitches go" mr.jui sure hated how Taehyung kept calling Jimin's name.
Mrs.kim " Jui ho! C'mon"
Rosie "stop swearing"
Tae looked at his uncle angrily. His breathing was increasing. "Jimin is not a bitch, uncle. He's not and never will be. And you should learn to respect him." with that he stood and limped as he left for his room. He didn't understand why they never understood that Jimin was important to him. And right now, he missed him, he wished to talk to him, he wished he could but he didn't know why. He bounced on his bed facing up the ceiling when he heard a knock on the door, "don't come in" he groaned before resting his hands on his face. The mess in his bedroom forced him to raise up so he could clean up when the door slowly opened. Mr.jui had came in with an apologetic look.
"Did you forget the meaning of 'don't come in' uncle!" he spoke as he picked up the clothes on the floor. His uncle sat at his bed as he looked around the room. It was painted in white paint. Bookshelf leaning on walls near the entrance. Clothes were everywhere. "Kid, your too messy" he spoke with an irritating face. "I didn't invite you Mr."
"Look, am here for a serious reason. I need your help, our company" Jui groaned as he stood and forced Taehyung to face him but he shoved his hands away from his. " Your company? I promise and am sure there will not be any help coming from me or my father's company to be precise." Tae fired back. Mr. Jui looked at his nephew. He knew what he said earlier made him like this. Ever since this boy was a child, he lived behind Jimin's shadows and Jui hated it. This was his nephew. But the fact that he always shielded the Jimin boy from anyone. Even Jui himself, from Jimin's abusive step brother. All in particular.
"Am sorry about earlier but you will not live your life like some...."
"It's my choice to decide how I leave my life. Who will and will not live in my life. And I can take you out of it, uncle" Tae fumed at his uncle. He could not avoid the fact that anyone hurt or disrespected Jimin. He had a special place just saved for him. "Son...." Tae cut him off before he could say much.
"Am not your son, you can't just call him a bitch and other names. Do you think I would let you hurt him like you did back then"
"That was ten years ago for God's sake." Jui reminded. Taehyung looked at him stanned.
"Ten years ago you say? You snitched. Jimin was thirteen and you sold him to his stepbrother. He tried to rap him many times and you knew that, uncle" His eyes were watering at this moment, his voice was horse. He spoke with a broken voice throwing his hands in the air. "Why don't you leave me be, is it.....because your homophobic....and you hate Jimin?"
"Son....no one was sure about that. What if he lied...." Jui tried to defend himself.
"Jimin told me everything, he used to...."
"You don't know that" He cut him off but he pushed him away. He then moved to the door and opened it as he muttered,
"Get out"
