The House

" Artist of the year goes to..."


The MC grins as she craves to startle the pressure between the audience. My co-artist pray and tremble to this tension. I rolled my eyes when the announcer grins and proclaimed the winner.


"Jeon Jungkook!!! Congratulations!!" I fakely grin happily which I don't want to show them my overconfidence in this award show. I've already known I'm the winner. The artists bow at me with honor and I also bend them back. I got a discourse for them that's all...


"Bro... Congratulations!!" Taehyung stated as he encompassed his arms around my neck. I chuckle lamely on him.


"Thank you!" I lamely answered. Taehyung is my best friend slash manager. "I've already known... " I whispered but he didn't hear a thing because his boyfriend beckons him.


"Jagi!!" Hoseok Hyung calls him. He's also my composer and producer. He also wrote some of my lyrics. They embrace each other. I rolled my eyes from their nuisance.


"You two so much showy." A cracked voice came from Hoseok Hyung back.


" Yoongi Hyung... we're just showing our love." Taehyung snicker as he robs another kiss from his boyfriend.


"Whatever.." Yoongi Hyung murmured.


"Hyung. let them." Jimin Hyung depended on the lovey-dovey couple. " Kookie... Congratulations on your award." He smiled at me as he glances back at his watch.


" This award is not only for me.." I gripped the award from the ceremony. "This is the fruit of our blood, sweat, and tears." I handed to Jimin Hyung. He's the main reason for this award. Jimin Hyung and Yoongi Hyung are the owners of the agency. They work hard for my success.


"Thank you Kookie." He eye-smiles at me the meaning of a great happiness to Yoongi Hyung. "Okay.. guys we're going to celebrate.." Jimin Hyung announced and everyone shouts in joy. Suddenly my phone rings. I look at my screen which so rare to me.


"My father calling.." They astounded in secrecy as I explain the call. They already know the fact I did not talk to my father since I become an idol. The only person who maintains my dream was my grandfather. He desires me, to become a businessman like him. The good thing my Grandfather support my dream, he never disappointed unto me.

After winning his 6th time as an Artist of the year and Song of the year. Jeon Jungkook grandfather already passed away. The agency doesn't give any information about an incident.


"Kookie. I'm very sorry about what happened." Jimin Hyung withdraws crunching to his shirt revealing his neck frustrating to his swivel chair.


"It's alright, thank you for granting me a long break." Jimin contemplated turn on me along with an astonishing wide lip gloss smile to his lips.


"No problem.." I granted him a handshake before I depart from the agency. My grandparents residing in a forest considering my grandfather was a great painter, every art he created was a Masterpiece...

The last day of my grandfather burial is permeated of silences. You can apprehend the dins of the digger who dig out the soil using the shovel and also the true and fake cries of his friends and family. We all in black clothes as I look around at our family graveyard. I saw a man wearing a fancy design white polo shirt and black jeans watching far away from us. I can't describe he's figure due to the leaves and the semi-strong wind, fading along with my short haired and poker my eyes, I didn't blink even one time. I gazed still on the mysterious man standing beside the huge old tree which my grandparent's house located as my sight steadily on him.


"Jungkook!" I've to frighten as my old brother pat my shoulder, I nudge it off from me.


"Chill bro.." he raises his hands in defeat as my body involuntary surprise.


"Stop frightening me!!" I half-shout at him.


"Sorry... but you are totally out of space." I flickered at the same time grimaced on him. " I've never seen you like this, " he stated lamely. he's right, we never seem each other since my father expelled me out to our house. it is better that way than to stay a place where I called Hell than a Home. Good thing Jimin Hyung and Yoongi Hyung adopt me and pursue my dream as an idol.


"I'm just tired from work.." I reason out. I glance behind where the obscure man went, but no one notices it or maybe he's not a real thing. I thought about myself.


"Eomma and Appa planning to go back in Seoul.." he said as he put his hands in his pocket.


"How about you?" My older brother questioned as he handed me a key.


"I'm going back too since you have. You can have a vacation to grandfather house." I grabbed the keys and approved. I don't prefer hanging around. I would rather go to an amicable peaceful accommodation like my grandparent's house.


~~~~~~~~


The House is far away from the graveyard where my grandfather resting in peace. I've already seen the house away from the front glass of my Toyota Corolla Venza as many people they thought I want to purchase an expensive car unlike others but I prefer my old car. My grandfather influenced me that, "Don't buy things you won't needed." That's odd my grandparents live in a house that far away from the city where the can live harmoniously.


The house is kinda decorative and simple you wouldn't think is the house of one of the great painter in Asia. I park my car near to the house. I notice the parking expanse precise and neat like my grandmother did. - I wish I would like my grandmother.' I told to myself since I did not. A family member with 2 teenage kids approaches me.


"Welcome home young master." The father of the family welcomes me. He presented me to his family. The teenage girl asked my autographed, her show it to her friend. The mother went to the kitchen along with her daughter. While the oldest brother back to the garden work. The father of the take a round of the house. He explicates me the living room, the kitchen where her wife and daughter do the cleaning and cooking. The garage where his son operates also in mechanics, he checks my engine. The tour proceeds to the 2nd floor of the house. He reveals to me the master bedroom where my grandparent's room. The room color skin was so fresh and light carnation shaded the wallpaper. I examine the room paintings caught my attention.







"Sir.. can I asked who's the man in the paintings," I asked as my perception didn't take to the pictures or painting.


"I don't know, who was he?" He answered as he resembles also at the paintings. "Your grandfather doesn't allow my wife either my daughter to touch that painting, he said they can take anything to his work except that one."


"Why?"


" He said that paintings are his Masterpiece."
