-How dare you? How fucking dare you?
Juli flinched when Jungkook screamed at her.
-You killed my dad!!!
Juli's eyes widen. She couldn't process what's happening. Jungkook never talked to her like that. What happened when she was out of home?
-Jungkook, honey, please let me explain it...
Juli tried to explain everything to him. Jungkook quickly stepped aside.
-No...no...stay there. Don't come any closer...
Jungkook told her still not looking at her. He was sobbing, staring at the floor. Juli's heart broke seeing him like that.
-Okay...I won't. But at least let me tell you what happened.
Jungkook ran his hand through in his dark brown hair. Then face her.
-What will you explain? That how you killed my dad??!!
Jungkook screamed again.
-Okay, okay... please don't scream. It's not good for your health right now.
Juli tried to come closer to him.
-Don't you dare. You don't need to worry about me.
Jungkook didn't let her come towards him.
-I should have known it earlier.
Jungkook was sobbing.
-That's why you never told me anything about dad, right?
Juli's eyes were filling up with tears.
-What do you mean?
Jungkook turned around to face her.
-You fought with him that night. Then he stepped out of this home and that was the last time he...
Jungkook couldn't finish it. Juli quickly pulled him into her embrace. And once she did, she found out Jungkook was trembling. He never ever screamed at anyone before. He got really angry tonight.
-Kookie, honey... please calm down.
Jungkook was sobbing and breathing unevenly.
-W...why? Why mom??
Juli looked up at the ceiling trying really hard to hold her tears.
-I didn't kill him, son. Trust me.
Anger takes him all over again. He pushed his mom making her fall on the floor. Jungkook threw a book on her lap.
-Then what's all these? Huh??
Juli looked up at her son with teary eyes. She couldn't believe her own eyes and ears. The boy who used to love her so much, how come he changed within 5 hours? Who is this?? Is this really that cute little bunny of hers? Is this her Kookie?
Lisa came towards Jungkook. She placed her hand on his shoulder.
-This isn't going to change anything, Kookie.
Jungkook looked at her.
-I want to know everything.
Then Jungkook looked at his mom still staring at him.
-I said tell me about this diary.
Juli flinched. She was scared as hell. Even though, she wanted to tell her son everything, not a single word escaped her mouth.
-That means, you're the killer of our dad.
Jungkook covered his mouth with his hands. He thought her silence as a yes. He was blaming her but not from the core of his heart. Because deep down, he believed his mom to be innocent. Even though, he knew his sister doesn't love mom.
-And you did all these just to bring someone else in your life?!
Juli glanced at him, tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was shocked hearing his question.
-What?!
She whispered. Even Lisa was shocked too. She had no idea what her brother is talking about.
-What do you mean by that?
Lisa asked him, furrowing her eyebrows. He looked at her. Then pointing his index finger at Juli, he told Lisa,
-She is seeing a guy named Hoseok.
Juli's eyes widened. She never thought her son would think like that. This is too much for her. She was thinking in her mind that she should have died before she could hear it.
-How can you think that about me?
This time, Lisa looked at her with disgust in her eyes.
-A dirty woman like you don't deserve anyone's love.
Juli was crying. But no sounds escaped her mouth. She knows they won't listen to her now, No matter how hard she tries. It's of no use.
-You bitch, you didn't even hesitate to flirt with someone who is the same age as your son!!
Juli lowered her gaze. She closed her eyes in embarrassment.
-How can my own daughter think like that?
Juli thought it in her mind. She was crying. Lisa smirked seeing her mom like that.
-Now I get it why you were so happy even after losing dad. You're such a bitch!!!
Juli closed her eyes. Tears continuously rolling down her cheeks. Jungkook looked at somewhere else but his mom.
-At least I used to think my mom wouldn't do anything like that.
Jungkook told her. Lisa was sobbing covering her mouth with her hands. Jungkook glanced at the window of the living room. Curtains are pulled off. So, he couldn't see outside. Jungkook opened his mouth to say something.
-I don't wanna see your face.
Juli looked up at him. She wanted him to look at her for once, just for once. So she can cry her heart out, so she could tell him what he's thinking is completely wrong staring at his deer like eyes that is now red and puffy due to crying so much. She wanted him to look at her for once so she could pull him into a warm hug like she always does. But he didn't look at her.
Juli started crying covering her face with her hands. Jungkook glanced at the ceiling to hold back his tears. She was so busy in crying that she didn't realize when Lisa appeared behind her. And suddenly, Lisa grabbed her hand and pulled her to make her stand up in her feet. Juli gasped.
-And I don't want you in my home.
Saying that Lisa started dragging her out of the living room.
This time, Juli opened her mouth.
-Jungkook, Kookie, don't misunderstand me, son.
Jungkook tried not to listen to her.
-I didn't do anything.
Juli said it out loud trying to make him listen what she's trying to say.
-Please, don't throw me out of this home.
Lisa dragged her out of the room and headed towards the main door. She opened the door, and pulled her mom outside and pushed her. Juli couldn't control herself. So she fell on the floor.
-This is where you belong.
Lisa turned around and stepped into the home. Holding the handle of the door, she said,
-Cos, You don't deserve my dad or anything belonged to him. Now, get lost. And don't show that dirty face of yours ever again.
Saying that Lisa slammed the door. Juli glanced at the door. Then, she stood up and started walking. She stopped in her track cos she was feeling someone was looking at her with expectations in his eyes that she'll turn around and come back.
Juli turned around to see who it was and found Jungkook looking at her through the window of the living room. The room is dark now only there was a lamp that enlightened the part of the room where Jungkook was standing. She saw Jungkook's eyes were filling up again. Could that be her own imagination? She didn't know. But it felt like he was expecting her to stop in her track and return to the home to clear everything up. As if he wanted his mom to stay with them like before.
Juli's eyes were filling up again seeing her son like this. She was about to return but then she saw Lisa came between Jungkook and the window and turned around to see Juli was still standing. Lisa pulled the curtains and then Jungkook and Lisa both disappeared from her sight, forever.
Inside the living room, Jungkook closed his eyes.
-Why? Why mom? Why did you do all these things??
Juli was still staring at the window. The lamp turned off. Juli sighed deeply. Shaky breath escaped her mouth.
-One day you'll understand...
Juli wiped off the tears.
She looked up to see the night sky. She was staring at that shiny star, the one she always thought as her husband, the one she used to talk to thinking it's her husband.
-That I didn't kill your dad...
She started walking towards the road. Tears were rolling down her cheeks continuously. But she wasn't crying. She's tired of all these things. Tired of getting hurt, all these pains, all these insults, everything.
She was walking but she didn't know where she's going. And her visions were blurry as tears formed in her eyes again. She couldn't see anything clearly. She was walking and walking.
And suddenly, a car just stopped taking a hard break, just in front of her. She glared at the car. A man in blue suit was inside the car, in drivers seat. He was panting hard. And she felt like the person was crying as well. His eyes were all red and puffy as if he were crying for a long time.
Juli rubbed her eyes to clear her sight, to see who it was.
-Is this... Hoseok?
Juli thought it in her mind. Once her visions got clear, she glanced at the person again. And surprisingly it wasn't Hoseok. That person has tiger like eyes that are now all red, looking scary. And he was wearing a black hand watch, and on the watch it's written 'NJ'.
Juli's eyes widened.
-How come he is here at this time like this?! That too, all alone??!
Juli whispered to herself. And then the person sitting inside the car, told her,
-M...Mrs.Kim, b...bow before your b...bboss...
