Chapter Three

Seokjin arrived at the hospital with sweat dripping down his forehead. He stood outside of one of the rooms waiting for someone to come out.

His heart is beating rapidly against his chest waiting for an information about his mother. Someone told him that his mother is already inside.

He clutched onto his chest as he continuously hicupped while crying his heart out. His throat feels so dry and his face feels so sticky as he's crying all the way here.

No, this is not happening. His mother will be fine.

She's a strong woman and definitely a fighter. She will overcome this and Seokjin will get the privelage to see her smile again.

"Mom, please, please."

He's clasping his hands repeteadly while tears still streaming down his face. He leaned against the wall and was surprised when another nurses came inside the room shouting and rushing each other.

"Babe..."

Seokjin looked behind him and his eyes widened when he saw his boyfriend rushing towards his direction.

The older immediately wrapped his arms around Seokjin's waist pulling him closer to give his forehead a kiss.

He shut his eyes closed and just hugged his younger boyfriend who's probably so worried right now because of his mother's state. He continuously kissed Seokjin's temples whispering sweet nothings just to calm him down.

"Why.. why are you here? The competition will start any minute now." Seokjin asked in a hoarse voice.

Jungkook let out tight-lipped smile and put both of his hands on the younger's shoulder massaging it a little while slowly nodding his head.

"I cant leave you like this...."

Jungkook pulled him once again into a tight hug before letting Seokjin go to wiped his tears away even though it's useless since the younger keeps on tearing up because of his mother's condition and the loss of Jungkook's possible dream come true.

The both of them looked at the doctor and some nurses who went out from the room already.

One of the doctor walked towards the both of them. He looked back at the nurses and nod his head at them.

"Are you her son?" The doctor asked.

Seokjin nods his head vigorously eager to find out about his mother's condition. If there are any complication or she's fine.

"She's dead. I am so sorry for your loss."

Seokjin didnt say anything and just stared at the doctor for a couple of minute before letting himself fell on the ground as if every ounce of energy just left his body.

He shook his head vigorously and called for the doctor who starts to walk away from them alreadt. The younger shook his head looking up to meet his boyfriend's eyes while biting his lower lips.

"No, no, no. This is all a lie." Seokjin chanted.

Jungkook shut his eyes closed with tears slipping out from his eyes because of Seokjin- his beautiful boyfriend looks so broken with him sitting on the cold floor with his crying face showing his world is slowly crashing down.

Jungkook knelt down clearing his throat before pulling Seokjin into an embrace letting the younger's head rest on his chest as he keeps on caressing Seokjin's back while kissing the top of his head repeteadly.

"Eomma, Eomma...."

Seokjin's lips are quivering as his whole starts to shake because of too much crying. He looks like he's seconds away from passing out as his face turns into a deep shade of red while running out of breathe still crying his heart out.

Jungkook stood up holding both of his younger boyfriend's hands almost carrying him just to make him sit. He kissed the top of his head before looking away to wipe his own tears.

All of this is just so sudden. None of them expected that a life woud be taken away from them. This is heartbreaking not only for Seokjin but also for Jungkook- the woman treated him like he is his own son.

"Seokjin..."

The younger looked up squinting his eyes to see who's the person who just arrived.

"Taehyungie..."

Taehyung wasted no time and pulled Seokjin into a very tight hug letting the younger bury his face on his stomach letting him cry and pour all of his emotion.

"Shh, shh, calm down. You're going to pass out like this," Taehyung hissed, "Your Mom wouldnt like it if she saw you like this, Jinnie." He said as his own voice cracked.

He looked up biting his lower lip trying to contain his tears from slipping out of his eyes as the sight of Seokjin completely lost an broken made his heart shattered into tiny little pieces.

Taehyung nods his head at his cousin letting him go so that he could talk to the doctor already to know what they should do next.

Taehyung didnt leave Seokjin's side as they waited for Jungkook to finish up all the things that needs to be done.

"I.. I cant do.. I cant go on like this, Tae." Seokjin said feeling the burn on his throat.

Taehyung let out a faint sigh pulling his friend even more closer to him making his head rest on his shoulder.

"You have to, Jin." Taehyung said in a barely audible voice, "You have to be strong. Your Mom badly wants you to be a teacher, remember?" He said trying to lift up the younger's mood.

Seokjin smiled and chuckled as he felt some tears slipping out of his eyes once again just by mentioning his mother.

He has no one right now.

He grew up without a father. Everytime he would ask his mother about it, she would just gave him a very warm smile and will change the topic instantly.

Now she's gone. All that's left of her is the memory that she shared with her only son, Seokjin.

He smiled remembering how his mother and him keeps on dreaming about being a teacher- they loved that idea. They want to share their knowledge to other people.

No, not just the lesson that you'll learn in the book but also life lesson- a lecture that will make them strive harder, one that can make a person change his perspective in life.

Seokjin let out a small laugh looking down as he wiped his tears away.

He looked at his friend and nod his head at him knowing that what Taehyung has said is right.

No, he's not alone.

He still has Jungkook who will be there for him along the way, they will continue to support each other until they are already living in their dream.

Also, he has a thoughtful and kind friend. Taehyung always got his back and same goes for the other.
