CHAPTER XXXV: 35 inches baton

"Are you hurt? Is everything ok? Did it went well?" JungKook asked continuously as he reached me holding a baton and a teaser hanging on his waist

What the fuck?

"What's with the 35 inches baton?" I tried my best to held my laugh in but my smile couldn't be hiden

"You can't blame me EunByeol!" He quickly put down the baton "I was alarmed by his yells"

I looked down at his hands and saw that it still wasn't treated

I gave him a deadly glare

"What? Did thi-"

His sentence was cut short because of me dragging him by his arms

We quickly half-ran half-walked towards his office, making a stop at the clinic to get a first aid kit

"What's with the kit?" I pushed him on his sofa and I sat beside him, opening the kit

I looked at him in disbelief

Could he really not feel the wound on his hands? It's still bleeding

I got the baton from his hands and made him look at it

"Do you notice anything?"

He examined it and shook his head "it's just the normal black baton with a rubberized handle"

Can I hit him with this? Just once

"You gotta be kidding me" I placed the baton on the coffee table and raised his hands up, facing his palms towards his eyes. "Well?" I raised one of my eyebrows up, and quietly prepared myself for his possible outburst

His eyes grew wide and began to shake in fear "WHAT IS THIS?????" 

I laughed at him for being too adorable and funny

"Don't laugh EunByeol! It hurts!!!" His eyes were teary, looking like a child

"You just felt that now?" I got one of his hands and started to heal it "it's been an hour atleast when that happened"

"Are you still shocked?"

There was a sudden heavy atmosphere that surrounded us.

"Hmmm? About what?" I continued to treat his wounds

"About the fact that we're brothers?"

My heart became heavy and made me look at him.

He's hurt, sad and ashamed

"I was pretty shocked at first" I admitted and began to bandage  his hand "but, it's ok"

"Are you mad at me?" His voice was thick and shaking

"Yah kookie, there's no need to cry. It's just a deep cut" I joked as I began to treat his other hand

"It still hurts" He faked winced and ride along

Nice to hear him have a slight chuckle

"And going back, I'm not mad at you."

"Why? You should be super mad at me"

"I understand you. You did those things because you were mad, pained and mourning. But, if you knew the truth, I know you wouldn't do it."

"Know what truth?" He pulled his hand for me to pay attention to him

Me and my fucking big mouth

"Huh? What truth?" I smiled sheepishly remembering the things NaNa said about him knowing the truth about the accident

"EunByeol." He said encouraging me to spill the beans

"I can't"

"Why?" He furrowed his eyebrows

"Because you might regret everything. Punish yourself..." I trailed off

"I won't, I promise" He smiled

"That's impossible. Don't make promises when you can't hold on to it"

His face changed probably getting the memo about how serious the topic is.

"Ok I won't promise. I'll try"

He deserves to know it.

I also want them to reconcile...

They both deserve to be free from the past

"About the incident of your parents..."

I looked at him seeing him staring at me with anticipation. I quickly shifted my sight somewhere else

"It wasn't really Jimin's fault..." I felt his body tense up after hearing it

"Wh-what? How can you say that??"

"NaNa told me the truth...
They discovered that the brakes of their car was tampered on..."

He suddenly stood up "WHAT?! HOW COULD THEY NOT TELL THIS TO ME?! WHO MESSED UP WITH IT?!"

"JungKook please calm down" I stood up and tried to approach him but, he kept backing away "it was their enemies. They didn't want to tell you because they know how you'll react. Impulsively.."

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEIR DECISION JUST! IT WASN'T THEIR CHOICE TO MAKE!"

He headed towards the door. I stopped him by hugging him from behind 

"JungKook calm down first please...."

"I'll calm down if you leave me right now"

He removed my hands, leaving me in awe and worry

"But, JungKo-"

"Leave."

He practically pushed me out of his door and locked it behind me

These boys... They're the same

I leaned against the door, letting out a tired sigh

"Atleast he know the truth now..."

I dragged myself to the pantry still weary about leaving him alone.

But, that's the best I can do now isn't?

Give them both time on their own to let it all sink in

You did a good job EunByeol...

You did your best and that's enough
