My Jungguk ✔️

6. I'm His Fan And Beloved

"PLEASE HELP ME, PLEASE"

I turned my gaze towards the sound coming from behind. I could see a 4 or 5 years old toddler running in my direction. He bashed into me and hugged my knees. He was wailing loudly.

I was not a person who could handle children that well. It took me a few seconds to analyse the situation.

I crouched to his height and cooed while wiping his tears, "Hey, calm down! Why are you crying sweetheart? What is your name?" I ruffled his hair and rubbed his back.

It took me a few moments to calm him down. When his wails turned into soft sobs I again asked in a soft tone, "What is your name baby?"
He stuttered , "I-I'm Choi J-Jiwoo. I-I study i-in class n-nursery A."

I couldn't help but grin at his cute baby voice. "Where are your parents Jiwoo?" I asked but he again started crying loudly.

"I don't k-know, I w-want to g-go to m-my m-mom!" he cried.

"It's okay, I'll take you to your mom. But can you tell me where can we find her?" I inquired in a hope that I would atleast get some information.

"M-mom is a-at home. I w-was with N-nini!" he cried. "Who is Nini? Do you have any idea where can we meet her?" I interrogated.

"I d-don't know, I-I want t-to go h-home! I want my m-mom!" he kept wailing.

"Where do you live sweetheart? Can you tell me little bit so that I can help you?" I asked, with softest tone possible.

"I D-DON'T KNOW! I-I WANT M-MAMA!" he whined loudly.
"Shh baby I'll help you out. Now don't cry." I cooed.

It was already 6:15 pm. I had to do something. I couldn't leave him there at that point of time. So I decided to take the help of police.

"Let's drop you home sweetheart" I said while holding his little hand. I rushed into my house, took the car keys and drove him to the police station.

I got out of the car and gasped at the sight of closed door. I read the notice written on the door.

~This police station is under maintenance. Please visit "Yongsan-gu police branch" for further help.
Sorry for the inconvenience. ~

"Yongsan-gu ! How can I go there at this point of time."

Yongsan-gu was almost 40 kilometers away. It was already 6:35pm. I had no choice. I had to drive him to the police station. " I need to hurry up! I can't waste time like this!"

In no time, I jumped into the car and started driving. "Oh! I've not bought the cake yet!" The child was still crying. So I stopped by a bakery.
"Do you want to eat a chocolate?!" I asked with a wide smile.
"Yes! I love chocolate!" he exclaimed while hopping on the passenger seat.
I was surprised to see how a chocolate could bring up such a bright smile on his little face.

I rushed into the bakery and bought a strawberry tea cake along with a chocolate for the toddler. Gguk hated whipped cream. So a teacake was what he would have appreciated much more than a cake loaded with cream.

"Here you go baby!" I said while giving him the chocolate. "Thankyou!" he exclaimed. I sighed with relief.

The child enjoyed his chocolate throughout the journey. I wanted to drive with max speed. But still, I couldn't ignore the fact that a child was also sitting beside me. So I drove with a little care.

At 7:15, I was standing in front of the police station. I explained the whole scenario and handed over Jiwoo to the police. They already had a missing report registered by his name. That was a great relief.

" Thank you so much for your help ma'am" the inspector said. I bowed and rushed out of the police station.

The clock struck 7:30. My heart was sinking.

"What if I can't meet him? What if he gets really upset? What if he... How will I handle it out... " hundreds of thoughts such as these kept crossing my mind." No Gguk, I can't let you down this time."

I reached home by 8:10 pm. I saw our gatekeeper and asked," Were there any visitors? " to which he answered," No ma'am."  His answer literally confused me. I hummed and parked my car in the garage.

I went inside my house. There was pin drop silence. Everything felt uncomfortable. I didn't even lock the door. I was in my own thoughts while walking towards the room with his cake and gift in my hands.

"No, he may come at any moment, I need to get ready now. He will surely keep his promise." I tried to explain myself.

I placed the cake and watch carefully on my bed. I changed into the black dress and wore a silver heart shaped locket. I made a loosely braided crown on top keeping rest of the hair open. I was ready till 9 pm.

But... Where was Gguk?

"I must text him " I said while grabbing my phone from the nightstand. No sooner did I type the message than I got the answer to all my questions.
A notification popped up.

BTS is live.

They started a live session on social media.
It meant that he was still at his home.

I joined the session. He was with his band mates. There was a bottle of champagne and 2 cakes, one for his birthday and other for their victory. They were interacting with their fans, reading the comments, laughing and enjoying. His home was almost 100 kilometers away from mine. I had lost all my hopes.

I was watching him, again, from the screen of my phone.
I couldn't say if that screen connected us or kept us apart. Being his fan, I wanted to feel happy. Being his beloved, I had an urge to cry my heart out.

I kept my phone aside and put it on silent mode so as to ignore any notifications. I turned off all the lights.

Moonlight was falling upon my room making it somewhat bright, though it only added to my loneliness.

I sat on the floor beside the window while hugging my knees. Just like another day, instead of his shoulder, the wall was supporting my tired head. My eyes wandered outside blankly. "When... When will this end? Why can't we meet each other like a normal couple?" I asked myself.

Though all my hopes to see him had already died but still, I couldn't help but imagine his bunny smile and sparkling doe eyes lovingly staring at me.

I let weariness shut my eyes slowly....
