I closed my bedroom door leaving jimin asleep on my bed, it was still a bit early to go to sleep but given everything that had happened I figured it was best if i just let him sleep.
It made me sad to see him like that, we both knew this could happen someday, losing someone close while being part of the mafia is kind of expected. But I guess one never really is ready for it.
I wasn’t that close to her but she was nice and I admired her way of calming Jimin, I wished I could do that right now.
She was Jimins big sister, maybe not by blood but by heart she was, and thats definitely a stronger bond.
I heard my phone ringing from the kitchen and I headed there not really wanting to deal with anything right now, I saw the caller Id flash a picture of namjoon and i remember they were taking care of Lia.
I answered immediately not even complaining for them bothering me.
As soon as I answered I heard the piercing sound of Lia crying.
It took me a while to even hear namjoons voice.
“Jungkook?! Are you there?!”
“Oh yes sorry, couldn’t hear you- what happened to lia?”, I interrupted myself concern building up on me
“That’s why we called you”, he sounded equally as concerned as me, maybe even more.
“is she okay?!?” I couldn’t help but think of the worse. After all, I was the one who originally was supposed to take care of her. She was as much of my responsibility as theirs.
“Yes ofc at least we think she is”, he sounded unsure and it scared me.
“Well she doesn’t sound okay to me”, I immediately felt bad about the tone I said it with, but I was starting to get annoyed.
“Jungkook just don’t ,save the sarcasm for later” he clearly was desperate by the way he scolded me.
“Sorry, but seriously why is she crying like that?” I was getting impatient by not knowing what was happening.
“We don’t know we already tried everything” it clearly doesn’t seem like it but I won’t tell them that, it’s obvious they’re doing everything they can if they called me.
“Then why is she still crying?“ I asked once more hoping some way this time I would get an answer.
“Jungkook I think she’s grieving…”
“Grieving, she clearly realized that her parents aren’t here and I think she misses them” she’s too little to be going through that.
“Do you think she understands what’s happening?”
“Not really I just think she misses them”
There was a moment of silence between us and only Lias cries were heard.
“Why did you call me then?” He seemed to know what the problem was so I didn’t understand why did they need my help.
“Well I figured you would know how to treat kids when they’re grieving since you know…”
Hell no, that was a very different situation from what is happening right now.
“It’s not the same” truth is i didn’t really wanna talk about it, it wasn’t a pretty time, although I did get over it and could move on I still don’t like remembering how it was for Yuqi and me.
“Jungkook you’re the only one who has gone through something similar” he pleaded, but I still wasn’t sure if what I knew would help
“Plus you were there for yuqi too”
“Yes but she was a toddler and I was also a kid, it’s not the same thing”
“You’re the best option we have” he won’t stop, I know he won’t until I at least give them something to help
“Comfort” I guess I wanted Lia to stop hurting as much as they wanted
“ you just need to comfort her, she will probably refuse it but you have to make it clear to her that she’s not alone that she’s got you” I finally gave in completely, it reminded me of when I had to do that with yuqi, she would barely talk to anyone. I was the only person she would let in.
“Is there anything specific that helped Yuqi, that could help Lia?”
“Just hold her until she calms down, maybe also talk to her, tell her she’s not alone, that you’re there for her”
I know it’s kinda crappy and I’m sorry for spelling mistakes and honestly just for making you read a lot. Next part isn’t gonna be written thank god. I’ll explain Jungkooks and yuqis backstory in a few more chapters and next chapter I’ll tell you who died 🙈
