Chapter:3

In the story:

It started from small tears and without even realizing he began to sob. Endless streams of water rolled down from his chin onto the tin of cupcakes. His mother could hear his loud weep but she couldn't help her son. The door was locked. She knocked many times but he didn't open the door.

He hugged the picture of his husband and lied on the harsh freezing floor, a great tremor overtook him....

His words broke up and all he could say were stuttering sounds. Hot tears streamed down his face,and he squeezed his eyelids shut in hope his sobs would stop. His choppy breathing and watery eyes remained for a long while.

As more tears came, more thoughts of his cherished husband through his head. His vision grew translucent as his cornea was aching from tears. All of a sudden black emptiness surrounded him and his eyes automatically shut.

In the morning, little rays of sunshine glowed on his face.

Jungkook, while murmuring: It's so cold...Baekhyun-ah

Come closer...

He wanted to hug and cuddle with his husband....

He raised his hand forward, just to find the surface of marble tiles and rough edges under his fingers.

Jungkook spoke in a hushed voice: Baekhyun-ah....where are you?

That's he realised he was on the ground. His body was aching like hell. He woke up to hear a knock.

That moment reality hit him very hard.

Jungkook's mother: Jungkook it's quite late, have some medicine and you have to eat something..please.

Jungkook placed his husband's photo away and opened the door.

His hair was disheveled and he was still wearing the clothes from the funeral with his tie hanging over his roughly buttoned shirt.

Jungkook's mother: You look terrible...Go freshen up. Come afterwards I'll give you medicine. I made breakfast as well.

Jungkook went to the bathroom.

Under the gentle downpour, he stood, his tears merging with the water's flow. The warm water from the shower relaxed his muscles,the steam wraps him but his heart was relentless. He was feeling very vulnerable inside. He sat down on the cool surface, the water courses down his body. With each drop of water, he released more and more sobs. He pressed his palms against his forehead.

Jungkook: Why is this happened to me? Why?

He clutched his chest as he can physically tear out all his aches ,his sorrows.

When the tear subsided, he stepped out of the shower,wrapping himself in a towel.His heart ached looking at the empty bed. His husband would usually pick clothes for him. After getting married he never chose his clothes for himself.

He looked at his dressing table, the bottle of body lotion.

His husband always helped him to use body lotion on his back. He loved the way how Baekhyun used to rub gently body lotion on his back with his soft hands.

He looked at the mirror but today there was no reflection of his husband.

His mom: Are you done?! Hurry up!

He quickly picked clothes and head to the kitchen.

His mother made him waffles with orange juice on the side. She placed whipped cream and fruits on the waffles.

His mom: I made your favorite breakfast. Eat them.

Jungkook just sat there quietly.

His mother: What do you want to eat for lunch?

Jungkook didn't reply with a blank face.

His mother: I found Baekhyun's wedding ring here.

Jungkook immediately looked at her and took the ring.

It was glimmering in Jungkook's hand. It looked perfect in Baekhyun's ring finger. Subconsciously, his eyes became glossy.

On their wedding night:

Baekhyun stood in front of the widow, checking his wedding ring under the moonlight. He was admiring the wedding ring which was twinkling.

Jungkook back hugged him.

Baekhyun flinched a bit but smiled by his presence.

Jungkook: Do you like the ring?

Baekhyun: Yes! The is the best ring I have ever seen!

Jungkook held Baekhyun's hand: And you have the most beautiful hands I have ever seen.

He placed a soft kiss on Baekhyun's hands....

Jungkook: Everything..is so empty now..

Jungkook's mother: You need to take care of yourself. I know it's hard, let it all out.

Jungkook wrapped his around his mom's waist and cried loudly as she patted his head with a look of comfort.

Jungkook returned to his bedroom,lied his bed. He checked the ring and tried to fit it on his fingers but it was too tight. Baekhyun's fingers were thin and beautiful.

He remembered the laughter they shared, secrets they whispered, the promises they made....In that tangled web of memories, he found both pain and solace.....

One night:

Jungkook: Baekhyun-ah let's get married..

Baekhyun: I'm sorry Jungkook but this is not the right time for me. I have too much things to do for my brother.

Jungkook held Baekhyun's face with his hands: Then what about me Baekhyun?

Baekhyun's eyes were moist,he placed his hands on Jungkook's hands which were on his cheeks: I'm sorry Jungkook. You know my situation.You should choose someone else.I won't be able to give you time properly....I have a lot of responsibilities.

Jungkook: You should do whatever you want but let me take care of you....Let me be your husband please and allow me to take your responsibility. I promise I'll always take care of you and make you happy.

Baekhyun whispered softly : Jungkook !

Jungkook : Will you marry me Baekhyun?

Silent tears escaped from his red puffy doe eyes.

Jungkook: Even though you're gone, you will be special to my heart.

He kissed the ring and placed it in his drawer carefully.

His mother explained to him a lot and cared for him.

His mother: I can't stay here any longer because of your father. He's so ill he couldn't come. Please take care of yourself. I'll be worried, I'll come back soon. Please contact with Baekhyun's brother if you can.

But Jungkook never called Tae.

Somedays later Jungkook's mom got a call from the lady where Tae is living with....

A few days later, Jungkook's mother returned to see him as a disaster. Losing Baekhyun , profoundly affected Jungkook emotionally a lot. The grief, lonliness was devouring,engulfing him in it's eternal torture. The absence of Baekhyun eventually led him to depression.

Bottles of alcohol lied all over the floor. Neither the house was clean, nor was he. Everything was covered with dust.He was a completely mess and he hadn't shaved. He appeared like ghostly pale. He clothes weren't washed.He looked skinner than befor.He hadn't been to work for many days. His bedroom was dark and messy. The kitchen hadn't been cooked in for days. Most of the food in the fridge were still there, uneaten and rotten. Most of the plants lost their colours and shed leaves. The flowers withered and fell.

Jungkook's mother: What happened here?! Get a hold of yourself Jungkook!

Jungkook:I'm fine.Why are you here?

His mom:I'm worried about you and you are saying you are fine?!

Jungkook took a bottle of alcohol and was about to take a sip but his mom restrained him.

Jungkook: I am still alive. Don't worry about me.

His mom: Look at yourself!What did you do to yourself?!You don't contact me, your colleagues, or your friends. Besides you don't even let your friends in. I told you to contact Baekhyun's brother but you didn't....

Jungkook: Mom my head is hurting. Just go and let me drink!

His mom:You reek of alcohol! You're becoming an alcoholic! You won't live long like this!

Jungkook: I don't want to anyway..

Jungkook's mother: You're crazy! Get a grip! Stop all this nonsense. No one acts as crazy as you! I made a decision for you!

Jungkook looked up at his mother.

Jungkook's mother: You're remarrying....

Jungkook looked up at her with his colorless eyes in a bewildered expression.

Jungkook's mother: Yes I made a perfect decision for you....that's final! You're marrying your brother- in-law Taehyung!
