Have you ever encountered with that
reality which you abandoned a long time ago… a reality which you promised to never come across, but only to got slapped by again.
Seokjin never thought to crowled back to the same place which he once left with some blurry dreams… the place which he promised to never set his foot again…where his brother got insulted. ..but fate has different plans….yes now he is standing in front of his old house… his own house…where he was born, where he spent his childhood, where he lost his parents….and many more….
Yes he is standing in front of his old house, ever promised to not return.
Then why he is here now? Isn’t it a selfish act? Well you can say so… he is a selfish now…standing here when he is in need of a shoulder to rely on,
waiting for someone to open the door… not knowing who would it be…
Scoff* Did he ever think to at least know about that particular someone’s wellbeing????
Well you can say so….but-
‘S-uki?’
A shaky yet unclear voice can be heard after the door opens.
There stands a woman of her eighties, maybe. With a hazy state the old lady is trying really hard to recognize the conventionally unconventional or we can say familiarly unfamiliar person standing in front of her house.
‘S-ukii??? Yo-u are Su-ki are-n’t you? Son? Su-‘
Her wobbling words got startled by the sudden bone crashing hug, she got by her grandson…. ahhh its been ages this lady has been waiting for him to see once again atleast before she dies.
‘Gra-nny….grand-ma …yes yes…I am….ahhh ple-ase stay like th-is for a mome-nt….’
Seokjin said while nudgling his head more deeper to her chest sniffing time to time.
Did he wanted it before too?
Yes.
Then why did he never visit her?…
Insecurities… the insecurity of being again get humiliation for being gay.
That’s the only thing which has been making him stop.
‘Su-ki baby… you ca-me???’
The old lady again asked caressing the others hair softly…making sure that it’s not a dream…
‘Yes gra-nny…’
‘Ah-hhh …. how mu-ch I had been waiti-ng for you bub…why did you le-ave me haaa baby…. I was so lon-ely bub…witho-ut you this house has nothing…..’
‘I am so-rry granny…I am so sor-‘
‘Givi-ng me money through postal was not the one I ever wanted Suki… I w-ant you….sniff*…’
Hearing her Seokjin immediately retreat himself from her while gulping.
‘N-o granny I never send mo-ney-
‘Yes you did…infact…you do every month….sniff*… you send money to me….how dare you Suki…how d-are you to still care for me after what I did….how dar-e you….hic*…’
‘Granny stop please ….stop…don’t cry…I am already broken please don’t break me more granny…hic*’
Seokjin cried more while hugging the other even more…
‘Broken? Suki??? Look at me bub….Are you happy suki? What happened….The boy….where is he now??? He is also a big boy now right? I will never let you two away from me nev-
‘ sniff* Tae is in-
‘Tae???’
‘Nod* sniff* I gave him your na-me Granny….Kim Taehyung the gran-dson on Kim Taehae…isn’t it cu-te granny…sniff*?’
The old lady suddenly bursted out crying….
‘ hic* Sukiii Why m-e….I don’t dese-rve this Suki…never….where is he I want to meet him now….
‘He is in-
‘Hyung….’
A very tired Jeongguk comes calling him…he thought to spent some time in the car…but at last gave up…
‘ are you okay Jeongguk?’
Seokjin’s worried voice got interrupted by a shout…
‘TAEEEEHYUNGGG….my baby…..please forgive your grandma…please….sniff* …my baby…you also didn’t visit me at all…why why…you could have scold me…but leave…?? This is too much…’
The old lady cried hugging the younger while blabbering this.
But Jeongguk is just standing there like a statue… like why she is calling him Tae????maybe she has memory problem….
‘Granny he is not Tae….please come here…’
Seokjin said while retreating the woman from the others frozen body….
‘Oopp umm who is she Hyung?’
Jeongguk asked confusingly.
‘She is me and Taetae’s grandmother. Smile*‘
‘Omg… I am sorry….how are you granny? Oh wait wait wait…that means you are the relative the doctor said right granny…o my god…thank you….finally I can get my Tae now…ooohhhh…..wait but he said she is young…Hyung…do y-
‘Jeongguk can you please stop humm??’
‘Oh sorry…’
Jeongguk immediately apologized while hugging the old lady.
‘What doctor….. who is he? did you adopt him too Suki?’
The grand ma asked confusingly…
‘No actually-‘
‘Sorry adopt? Haha No no I am Taehyung’s hu-‘
‘He is Jeongguk…. a famous person granny….He is a Jeon….’
Seokjin said immediately interrupting the other not having any idea what she will do if she find out of them being Gay, before she knows he needs her…
Seokjin is in need of her because…
Seokjin’s grandfather worked for an NGO when he was alive related to mental health..that was long before he has born..and he knows that NGO is still on work…..as an elder member if she ask them for help…they will sure help him… without any much procedure…atleast they can make Tae transfer to Seoul….this is what brought him here….as a selfish act you can say…
But…what can you more expect when a proud idiot brother in law…stands with you…
‘And Taehyung’s Husband Granny..your another grandson…’
Jeongguk said proudly…making Seokjin cursed for the first time in his life…
Now he is standing, while waiting for a huge drama….all nervous…
‘H-usba-nd?’
‘Granny…I was about to say-‘
Seokjin said while looking down.
‘That Taehyung is Gay?’
The old Lady said scrunching her nose, as if she smelled something rotten out of nowhere…
Jeongguk frowned looking at her sudden change of behavior..
‘Yes gran-
Slap*
Jeongguk got startled by the scene….
‘This is why you have been hiding him huh? DON’T YOU KNOW OUR WHOLE BROOD HAS NEVER BEEN GAY…BUT NOOO HE HAD TO ENTER OUR RELIGION TO MAKE IT DIRT…. HE INDEED SPOILED MY REPUTATION….’
Jeongguk is now stunned after what he just heard…. an old lady can have this much power…..?
‘Granny I am also married to a man…’
Seokjin whispered….
‘Oh almighty….Jesus….amen amen…please why why…’
The old lady started to pray…
‘Gran-
‘DON’T TOUCH ME…GO..AWAY…..SUKI…YOU ARE NO MORE WELCOMED HERE…GOOOO…..’
‘No Granny I need you….please my Taetae is in hospital he need you-
Seokjin prayed kneeling in front of her..
‘Hey you please Take him….Take him I can’t…please please…’
The old lady shouted looking towards Jeongguk…
‘What the hell Your grandson is happy with a man… doesn’t that enough to control your saint spirit.?..’
Jeongguk said having enough while hugging the crying man..
‘Happy? What happy? Our ancestors never teach us to marry the same gender…’
‘Well your ancestors are not alive now…are they? If they were so much pure with their works then why they died? They should be an almighty God until now…wait a minute…thats why you shifted my Tae to a mental hospital right?? You freaking mannerless old lady how dare all he was your grand son-‘
Jeongguk said gritting his teeth.
‘No…THAT DIRT IS NOT MY GRANDSON…and mental hospital??? He is in mental hospital??? Wow… what I have to hear before I die tsh tsh tsh…. she is all because of his sin..he committed a sin…now he is suffering…. he deserves-
‘OH PLEASE…IF YOU YOU THINK YOURSELF PURE THEN WHY YOU ALL ALONE?… Your both grandson is atleast happy….AND DON’T EVER TALK ABOUT MY HUSBAND LIKE THAT….’
‘who are you to teach me hah boy…. this is all because of that boy….that so called dirt…
I TOLD YOU SUKI TO NOT ADOPT HIM THEN WHY…NOW LOOK WHAT YOU GOT….HE DESERVES TO ROT IN A DIRT-
‘STOP…STOP…OKAY I GOT IT…STOP NOW….’
Seokjin shouted making her stop….
‘I came here with a hope, but to only shatter…. you indeed proved it Grandma how much I did a beautiful job to only choose my Tae instead of you….’
.
.
.
.
‘Jeongguk let’s go..’
With that Seokjin dragged a confused Man.
.
.
.
In the car:
‘Hyung ?’
‘Hmm?’
‘You adopted Tae?’
Oh shit it had to happen…Jeongguk had to know…..
.
.
.
Time skip:
After knowing the story Jeongguk is in so much trouble… troubling to even breath…the most painful thing is that his mother also knew but didn’t thought to tell him for once wow….
‘Hyung why didn’t you tell me before? Instead of my Mom?’
‘Sniff* Well to be honest I didn’t have so much faith on you that time…’
Seokjin said while wiping his tears.
‘Oh…but I was the one you were giving your brother then?’
‘I am not talking about the faith of my brothers protection…that was I had for you…otherwise I would never allow him to be yours…I am talking about the faith of him being bullied… I can’t see when a person call him abnormal….and you did…scoff*..‘
‘Oh.’
Jeongguk could only utter that word…while driving…
The journey to their hotel where they will stay is silent… Jeongguk is not uttering a word…
Reaching the hotel:
‘Jeongguk what happened? Are you not coming? ….’
Seokjin said walking backward again towards the car…
‘Hyung you go rest I need to go somewhere…’
‘But-
Seokjin could reply the car glass already got up…and he drove away…
