           "I... Well..." Mrs. Jeon went silent as she gazed up at Jimin. "Did he... Ever told you about the things he used to do when he was younger?" The Mother asked as Jimin nodded.

             "Only a bit... But I know enough about it." Jimin replied as the Mother exhaled.

           "So you do understand what issues go through his head... Jungkook was always different. It was the first day of elementary for him... He was nervous about meeting everyone and stayed silent the whole school year. He hated making friends... So, I thought I should atleast buy him a pet. Of course, he does have a brother... But even he didn't speak to Jungkook. No one did and I-I was scared Jungkook will grow into a loner! I had to do something about it so I got him a Bunny for his first pet. Only then, I stepped out of the room to make the meal and help Jeon Jung-hyun on his studies when... Jungkook soon came back with blood dripping from his hands, blood spreaded across his uniform and face. He told me the Bunny wouldn't move and I looked down to see..... I looked down to see... The bunny had it's eyes ripped off, the ears were cliped and the fur was all over his hands as the Bunny's skin was falling off! I couldn't help but to cry and say it will be okay... It was just sleeping but even then, I regret telling him that."

              Jimin held up the tea and began to drink out of it. "Did you ever tell him that it was wrong to do that?"

             "I was scared to say it. I thought he would understand when something is dead and gone forever.... It'll never come back! But Jungkook... He never learned. It was animal after animal... Fish after fish and even insects after insect! I was so scared of my own son... He wouldn't ever keep a pet in the house for more than twenty-four hours." Mrs. Jeon stated as she let out a tear and quickly wiped it off.

          "What did his brother and father say?" Jimin asked as Mrs. Jeon cleared her throat and wiped her tears.

            "His brother didn't want anything to do with him and grew so scared he brought in the Father's attention... That's when my life went spiralling out of control.... My Husband wanted nothing to do with Jungkook if he wasn't planning on fixing his twisted issue. But I, a caring mother.... Helped Jungkook in any way possible, but Jungkook wouldn't do it! He wouldn't stick with anything and it bothered me soo much. I started losing my mind... Fearing my own son. I stopped buying him pets but he wouldn't stop crying for them! He would throw tantrums and when I took this silver knife he had and locked him in a room... He would scream and shout, kicking the door and crying... I felt horrible. I wanted to open the door and give his knife back, but he was going to stay like this forever."

            "Same thing happened to me... I don't know if you are aware of his sexuality.. But Jungkook and I are together." Jimin confessed as the Mother looked up at Jimin.

          "Has he harmed you in any way?" The Mother didn't seem to care about Jungkook being gay... She only cared if he was doing okay now.

           "Oh... Well, yes. He shoved me to a wall two times. But then, he would cry and apologize... Then he would try to make me happy." Jimin stated as the woman nodded.  "I took his knife away... It was horrible. He threw a tantrum aswell and I couldn't help but to feel bad. I hid his knife and lately, he has been acting well behaved."

             "You hid his knife? I would never be able to do that... When I tried, Jungkook was around nineteen years old. He was already considered an adult and when I tried to pry it off his hands...." The woman trailed off and rolled her sleeves up. "He cut my arm." Mrs. Jeon showed Jimin the huge scar on her arm that was slashed diagonally. "He also deepened the cut in my sleep. Yet, I didn't feel it since he left my arm numb so I can wake up and see all the blood drained from my arm."

          "What did your husband say?"

          "I refused to report Jungkook and his Father said, if Jungkook continued to do these things and I don't report him, he will leave and take my other son. So, he did and I was left with Jungkook. He would come home late from I don't know where! Then be would crawl onto his bed and sleep.... With his hands drenched in blood. He loved the color so much he killed people and came home, not bothering to wash up at all."

           Jimin looked down at the ground and listened to the poor and crazy older woman. For all these years, she has been tortured and scared by her own son. Nothing helped when she tried to cute him... "I blame myself for telling him it was okay.. All living things sleep when they are really dead... He took it as something innocent and now it's a bad habit!"

             "Lately, Jungkook has been good! He hasn't hurt anyone or anything! He hasn't asked for his knife in a long time and in exchange, we go out on dates."

            "He's changed?" The Mother teared up happily and looked at Jimin. "Oh, I wish I could see him... I can't since I still have my doubts on this and I had a restraining order against him for cutting my arm when I told him to leave countless times."

             "Maybe you can talk to him..." Jimin stated as he stood up and called Jungkook for a video chat. "Here, I'm calling him-"

          "N-No... Just let me watch and hear him.." Mrs. Jeon insisted. "I'd rather lift the restraining order and talk to him face to face.."

            "Good idea." Jimin said as Jungkook answered. He was on the bed and rubbed his eyes from sleeping again. "Hi, Jungkook!"

            "Darling, are you coming home now?" Jungkook asked as Jimin shook his head.

           "No, not now.."

           "So this means... You'll be gone for a... long time?" Jungkook asked mysteriously as Jimin nodded, not being able to catch that.

             "Well, not a long time. In a few minutes, I'll be heading back."

           "How long would you say you'll be gone?" Jungkook asked as he just sighed and placed his hand over his head. "Nevermind that... I have bad news.."

          "What is it?"

          "Two of my prototypes didn't make the cut and now I have to make them all over again!" Jungkook raised his voice and looked at Jimin while he held up the phone, pointing down at him from the top of the bed. "Ugh... I'm pissed."

           "Calm down, Jungkookie... Please don't get angry and hurt Mochi..." Jimin stated as Jungkook quickly changed the conversation.

            "How's my Mother? Is she okay now?" Jungkook asked as Jimin smiled and nodded.

          "She's doing just fine-" Jimin suddenly stopped when the Mother gave Jimin a sign to stop the video call. "Love you, bye!" Jimin hanged up as he looked up at the mother.

            "You didn't give him a pet d-did you?" The Mother asked already becoming nervous as she rubbed her hands together, feeling the anxiety weigh down on her like a ton of bricks.

              "Yes... We have a puppy named Mochi. But don't worry, he hasn't harmed him!" Jimin smiled as the Woman's expression changed into fear.

              "You have to go now! He could be hurting the puppy! The only reason why he'll hold back on killing it is if he doesn't find his knife or if he isn't angry. You better hope he doesn't find it now that he's stressed..."
