NO ONE P.O.V

"Weak! Do it again!"

Jungkook's father roared at the boy who are breathing heavily as he hit Jungkook's back with the whipping rope again. Jungkook bit his bottom lips at the stinging pain as he use all his strength to get on his feet again. He let out a heavy breath as he clenches his fist and punch the piece of wood once again.

He starts punching and kicking with all his strength although his fist started to bleed and his feet start to hurt but he didn't stop as the Alpha king watches his son's movement intensely. The young true-blood continues for the entire day with no break and rest.

When the sun finally went down, Jungkook fell on his knees before dropping to the ground, completely tired. The Alpha King glance at the boy before turning towards the piece of wood that is totally wrecked due to the endless punch and hit.

Satisfied with the results, his father smirks "That's enough for today, don't be late tomorrow" he says as he turns his back towards Jungkook and leaves the training room, leaving the exhausted boy behind. Jungkook lay on the ground silently until his breath become steady once again.

After a few moments of silence, Jungkook decides that he really needs to get home now since it's getting darker. Slowly, he gets up as he winces a little due to the pain in his back. Holding his left arm with his right hand, he left the packhouse and walk back home.

it had been 3 months since what happened, was it easy? Jungkook could only say, that he is grateful enough to survive every day. His father gave him such brutal training, there is not even a single day where he didn't get hit by his own father.

He got bruised today, he treats it only to get another bruise the next day. The torture was endless but as a boy, Jungkook never complain even once because when he goes back home and sees his baby sister sleeping peacefully, well-fed, and well protected, he knows what he is doing is worth it.

Jennie was such a bright girl. She always filled the house with her laughter. She doesn't cry for no reason and she always makes her big brother happy when she shows him her cute baby smile. The Alpha King keeps his promise but he disowns Jennie and makes the baby stay with Maria at her house.

Jungkook of course went after his sister and now, Jennie is his home, wherever she goes, Jungkook will go with her. Maria saw the great bond between the two siblings and she knows that Jungkook will be a good brother for her but what saddens her is she doesn't have the strength to protect Jungkook from his father.

She's an outsider, an omega. The only reason why she was staying in the pack was that Martha demanded her to stay. Maria missed her sister but she knows, Martha's kids missed her more. All she could do is be their mother figure and give them a mother's love on behalf of her late sister.

"Eomma... Jennie won't stop crying, I don't know what to do anymore." her son says with worry as Maria turns to her "Don't worry, Seokjin my dear. Eomma will try to make her sleep, can you help me to make her milk?" She asked as the 11-year-old boy nodded.

Seokjin run to the kitchen as Maria went towards Jennie that won't stop crying at all. She picks the baby up and embraces her "What's wrong dear? Are you feeling hot?" She asked but the room was at an average temperature. The baby was clean and there was nothing wrong with her.

Maria tried to calm the baby with her omega scent but Jennie didn't budge as she keeps on crying loudly and it starts to worry Maria. Is she having a fever? No, she's not having a fever. She asks herself as her omega instinct can't seem to figure out what is going on.

Seokjin run out of the kitchen and went to her mother instantly as the boy give her the newly made milk. Maria tried to feed the baby but she refuse and keep crying. Panicking, she tries to make the baby fall asleep when a voice suddenly comes from the front door.

"I'm home." Seokjin who heard the voice run to the front door. "Jungkook-ah" He call out as the younger boy smiled at him "Hyung? What's wrong?" Jungkook asked upon seeing Seokjin's panicked face "Jennie, won't stop crying, I think you should see her."

He says before turning around and leaving. Jungkook followed the older and went to the room where Jennie and mother Maria were. Jennie was indeed crying loudly and Mother Maria was also struggling to calm her down. On instinct, Jungkook went to Maria and tugged on her hanbok.

Feeling the presence, Maria turn around and was surprised to see that Jungkook are already home. The boy brings up his palm "Mother Maria, please hand her to me." Jungkook says politely as Maria slowly nod and give the baby to the boy.

The moment Jennie went into his arm, the cries died down instantly as Jennie calm down instantly. Maria and Seokjin were so surprised to see the baby slowly fall asleep in her big brother's arm. Seeing the omega falling asleep Jungkook excused himself and went to put Jennie back in her place.

Jungkook sat beside the baby and hummed a soft lullaby that his late mother would hum for him before she passed away. After a few moments, Jennie was soundly asleep beside Jungkook. Maria watches everything and she thinks she knows why Jennie keeps crying today.

When she is sure that the baby are asleep, Maria went towards Jungkook "Dear..." She calls out making Jungkook turn to her "Yes, Mother Maria?" he answers as Maria smiles softly and caresses his face as she softly whispers "Your baby sister knows that her brother is injured."

She says as she slowly brings up Jungkook's palm, revealing his bloody fist. Maria understands that Jennie knows if her brother is in pain. That's why she keeps crying and won't stop until Jungkook hold her so she knows that her big brother is safe.

What a powerful bond between a brother and a sister.

Jungkook just smiles "It didn't hurt, I'm a strong Alpha." He says with his wide bunny smile but another voice speaks up "Being strong doesn't make you immune, come follow me, we need to treat your wound." Seokjin says as he turns around and leaves.

Maria chuckled at her son's behavior. Jungkook gulp, knowing that he is going to get an earful from the older. Maria nodded at Jungkook as she motions him to go with Seokjin while she take care of Jennie. Not having any other choice, Jungkook follows the older.

He waits at the balcony as Seokjin soon came with some ointment. The older hold Jungkook's palm and start treating the boy's knuckle as jungkook would wince from time to time. Jungkook glance at the older who have such a serious look on his face.

Seokjin is Maria's son so he is practically Jungkook and Jennie's cousin. Seokjin's father died when he was still a baby and Maria had nowhere to go so Martha help them. Since Seokjin is also an Alpha, it wasn't hard for him to get along in the pack.

People might see them as nothing more than a cousin but Seokjin cares for Jungkook like Jungkook is his little brother. Maybe the caring nature comes from his own mother so he can't help but always scold Jungkook when the boy overworks himself for training.

After finished bandaging the wound on his knuckles Seokjin told Jungkook to turn around which Jungkook obey as he turn around and open his hanbok. Seokjin help the boy to pull the fabric away as he pushed the boy's long hair and gaze at Jungkook's back.

Tears start to pull in his eyes when he saw the younger's back. It was heavily bruised and some places are bleeding. Jungkook just sit there silently as Seokjin didn't say anything and proceeded to clean the wound. Jungkook would wince from time to time but Seokjin didn't say anything.

Feeling that something was odd Jungkook slowly turns his head to look at Seokjin but the wound won't let him so the boy just sighs and speak up "Hyung... Aren't you going to scold me?" The boy asked in a soft voice making Seokjin halt his movement.

When Jungkook gets hurt, Seokjin will always scold the boy while treating his wound and when Seokjin didn't do that today, Jungkook felt a little uncomfortable. Seokjin glance at the boy once before finally speaking up "If I scold you... Would it stop?" Jungkook went silent when Seokjin ask that.

"Would you stop getting injured?"

"Would you stop getting abused?"

The older asks as a tear slide down his cheek. Seokjin dislikes it. Despite being the oldest, he can't protect Jungkook at all. He hates it when Jungkook comes home all injured and bruised. He was just 7 and he doesn't even complain at all, it angers the older but he can't do anything.

They sat there in silence as Jungkook sigh sadly before saying "No, it won't stop" The boy says as he form a sad smile "But I don't want you to stop scolding me though." Jungkook admits making Seokjin look at him.

"When you scold me, it felt quite scary, but strangely enough, it felt nice because someone cares enough to scold me. Someone was angry and upset when I get hurt. Mother Maria becomes upset and Hyung becomes angry when I got hurt." Jungkook smiled when he remembers Seokjin's scolding.

"So hyung... Keep scolding as we grew up no matter what mistake it was, remind me not to change into someone like my father, tell me to pull myself together and never abandon me hyung." Jungkook adds as a tear finally slid down Seokjin's cheek.

Seokjin was glad that both of them are not facing each other or else the younger would've seen him crying. Seokjin slowly nods his head and wipe his tears as he softly whispers "I promise Jungkook." He says as he clears his throat "Focus on healing yourself can't you?"

I'll scold you

"I've told you to be careful during the training and don't push yourself! Now you're injured how are you going to train tomorrow? You're just going to make the wound reopen tomorrow! Can't you be careful-" Jungkook smiled a little as Seokjin scold him. Seokjin treats his wound while whispering to himself.

I promise you, that I would never leave you behind.

What an unfair life for the young Trueblood.
