날 꼭 안아줘

CHAPTER 2

Jin's P.O.V:

30 minutes later after all the boxes were finally taken to their places, along with protests from Chaeyoung and her sibblings Sun-hee and Jungkook, Chaeyoung offered me to stay for tea as in favour for helping them.

"So...where are your parents?" I ask them while sipping my tea.

"Well....our dad works as the CEO of a company in Australia so he's mostly never ever home," sighs Chaeyoung sadly. "And our mom..." She falters.

Sun-hee and Jungkook look worriedly at her. Chaeyoung's eyes are suddenly full of tears and her breathing becomes fast.

"Chaeyoung.....are you okay...?" I ask her.

Jungkook shakes her. "Noona!" He exclaims.

Chaeyoung blinks. " Um.....I'll be right back," she says abruptly and gets up and leaves the room.

That was......weird......

Why had she reacted that way when her mom was mentioned? Maybe her mom.....

"I'm sorry about her....the past few months....have been hard for her....for all of us but mostly her," explains Sun-hee.

"Oh...it's ok. I understand," I nod. "But.....your mom...?"

Sun-hee sighs, "She was..... murdered...."

I gasp. "I am so sorry......I had no idea....."

Sun-hee shakes her head. "It's not your fault."

I finish my tea and stand up. "I better head home now, my mom will be waiting, unless you need help with anything else?" I ask Sun-hee and Jungkook.

They both shake their heads. "Thankyou for your help, hyung!" Jungkook hugs me. I hug him back. "It was nothing," I smile.

Chaeyoung's P.O.V:

"My mom......" I falter. Everything goes black. My breath becomes faster. Tears pool my eyes. 

I am seeing it all over again.

I feel Jungkook shake me. "Noona!" He exclaims worriedly. 

Jungkook, Sun-hee and Jin are looking at me worriedly.  

I can't let them see me like this. I get up. 

"Uh....I'll be right back...." I excuse myself and walk to my room. I shut the door and fall on my knees, crying hard. 

It's all my fault. It should've been me. I should have saved her. 

But instead I failed her.

I cried for who knows till how long until I feel a pair of arms around me. I lean into them as I cry onto Jungkook's shoulder.

"Noona please don't cry," whispers Jungkook as he pulls me closer into him.

"I failed her, Kook. It should have been me. I failed her," I cry on his shoulder.

"Shhh no noona, it's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself," he looks into my eyes.

I wipe away my tears. "I'm sorry you had to see me like this......" I sob.

"It's okay, noona, it's okay." 

And with that, I fall asleep on his chest.
