A/N: again, racism ahead... it fits the context so please deal with it.

Jungkook's POV

They weren't home.

They haven't been home all weekend. I waited around for them to come home but they never did.

I tried calling Siri but she's not answering my calls.

I went to Jimin's parents place but no one was home.

I went to Namjoon and Jimin's place too but no one was there either.

I was stumped and I was so desperate to see them.

~~~

It's Monday morning and I came in with the thought that I'd see Siri at work today. Namjoon's back today as well so I'll ask him about her if I need to.

I exited the elevator to find that Siri was not at her desk to greet me like usual. Maybe she's running late or on another level in the building?

I went into my office and put my suit jacket on the hanger and walked to my desk. There was an envelope in the middle with my name on it. I opened it up and read it.

Dear Mr Jeon,

Please accept this letter as formal notice of my immediate resignation due to personal reasons.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work for and with you.
I will miss both the work and the colleagues I have become close with.
Thank you for your time and patience with me.

Sincerely,
Serena Jones.

What the fuck?! She resigned?!

I couldn't stop my heart from racing so fast in anxiousness.

As I held the letter, another piece of paper fell out of the envelope. I picked it up and unfolded it.

My heart dropped. This shitty feeling in my chest has been happening a lot lately.

It was a photocopy of Justin's birth certificate that had my name as clear as day on it next to 'Father'.

Not only that... but there was a cheque for $500,000 paper-clipped to it.

It had Siri's full name, my father's signature on the bottom and the date it was signed. Almost 7 years ago.

She never spent the money...

My parents lied to me...

"Jeon Jungkook!" I heard an angry yell and a tall grumpy man named Kim Namjoon burst through my door.

RM: "Mind telling me why my secretary of over three years and one of my best friends has given me a resignation letter?!"

Shit. She gave him one too...

RM: "You found out Justin is your son didn't you? Did you threaten her like your father did?!" He angrily spat.

"You knew about Justin?" I was shocked.

"It's not fucking hard to figure out. He's the spitting image of you but with blue eyes. I saw the resemblance as soon as I saw you both together at Justin's birthday party. Only a fucking blind man or a real dumb ass can't see it."

Ouch. What a burn.

JK: "But what are you talking about my father threatening her?" I was confused.

"Go fucking talk to your father."

With that, Namjoon left and slammed my office door shut behind him.

My father threatened Siri? What the hell happened while I was away back then???

~~~

I left work straight away and headed to my parents place. I confronted both my father and mother, showing them the photocopy of Justin's birth certificate and the cheque that Siri didn't use.

My father tried to say it was all fake but I wasn't having any of it. I didn't believe him anymore after everything I found out.

"Why?! Why did you lie to me?! What happened back then?! I want the truth!"

MrJ: "She's tricking you, son. Don't you see-"

"ENOUGH!!!"

Both my father and I flinched at the sound of my mother's voice.

She had a piercing glare towards my father that made him slightly cower and even I was scared of her even though her anger wasn't directed at me.

MrsJ: "I've had it with you Junghoon! We will NOT be lying to our son anymore! I let you go on this long and for what?! So your racist narcissistic ego and so called 'reputation' doesn't get ruined? So the Jeon family name doesn't get 'ruined' by having a 'half-caste' member? We're not damn dogs Junghoon! We don't need to be 'purebred'!"

What the fuck... My dad didn't want Justin in the family because he's half Asian? I had no idea he was racist...

MrsJ: "You only thought of yourself when that girl told us she was pregnant. You did not once think about how Jungkook would feel. Or me. If you continue this, I swear, I will divorce you and take half of everything you have!"

I see... My father was only worried about himself.

He just stood there, gulping and looking down occasionally, trying to avert from my mother's glare.

MrsJ: "You couldn't see past her Western appearance could you? Well let me tell you right now, that girl is more decent and respectful than some Korean girls I know. I knew she genuinely cared and loved our son."

My heart skipped a beat, "What? How could you tell she loved me back then?"

MrsJ: "Jungkook-ah, a mother knows these things."

JK: "Oh... Ok..." I didn't want to piss my mother off more so I left it at that.

She sighed, "I could tell from the way she looked at you. Her eyes said everything."

JK: "Oh..."

Well fuck. This means Siri has loved me for a long time. I felt immense guilt for using her back then and thinking she was a slut. She was far from it.

MrsJ: "All this time, I've hated myself for not standing up for that poor girl. I missed out on my grandson's birth and every birthday he's had until now. You took all that away from me when you threatened that poor girl to never tell our Jungkook!"

JK: "What did you threaten her with Appa?" I asked sternly.

My dad cleared his throat and avoided eye contact with me. I think he was starting to feel a little bit ashamed for what he's done. Just a little.

MrJ: "All I said was that I would ruin her and her loved ones if she told you about the baby. Ruin her like it would ruin us if she-"

MrsJ: "NO! It would've only ruined you. Not 'us'. Jungkook and I are not part of this 'us' you talk about. Not when you made the decision without us." My mother spat out.

My father cleared his throat and continued, "I also gave her $500,000 to keep her mouth shut."

JK: "I can't believe you would do that! How could you do that?! How could I have a father so heartless?! I actually fell in love with her until you came and lied to me! I called her such vile things when I last saw her! I never even got the chance to tell her I love her!"

I really hated myself right now.

Just then, my mother got a call and went to take it quickly while I was ranting and scolding my father.

MrsJ: "Jungkook-ah! You need to go to the city hospital right now."

JK: "What? Why?"

MrsJ: "It's Serena. Hurry, go now."

JK: "What?! How do you know something is wrong?" I started panicking now.

MrsJ: "Ever since we ran into Serena at your work the other day, I had someone follow her to keep an eye on her. To make sure that your father-" She glared angrily at him again, "didn't do anything to harm her or my grandson. But something happened over the weekend and you need to go to the hospital right now."

JK: "Did you do something to her?!" I shouted angrily at my father.

MrJ: "No! I haven't done anything!"

MrsJ: "Jungkook-ah it was just an accident. Not your father's doing. Hurry and go to her."

JK: "Ok, I'll head there now. Thank you Eomma." I headed for the door but my mother stopped me for a moment.

MrsJ: "Jungkook-ah, please forgive me for lying to you and keeping your son from you."

My mother had the most regretful expression on her face. I obviously can't be mad at my mother. Not when she didn't want this situation either.

I walked to her and gave her a tight hug. "It's ok Eomma. I forgive you." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and she smiled at me.
"I'm just not sure Siri will forgive me after the things I said to her..."

My mother held my face and looked at me with love. "That girl loves you. I knew it then and I know it now. She will forgive you. You might just need to grovel and beg for forgiveness first though."

"I'll do that and more."

She smiled at me again. " Good. Go to your family, Son."
