Under Sun
23. Mother, I’m Sorry

But after all, the current state of affairs was still too dangerous. The Toronto police and military have not only kept quiet over Jaehyun's sudden disappearance. Especially after confirmation by the largest federal in the world. Certainly quite electrifying the entire North American mainland.

Jeffrey and Jea moved around a few times. From one continent to another. They lived in the Republic of Chile, until Stockholm. For five days, Jeffrey and Jea settled in Osaka, Japan.

"— Clean."

Faintly heard an obscure voice from the strapped phone that was on the nightstand, probably a connection from Jeffrey's subordinates.

Since Jeffrey's move, the underground group is still running. Although not as active as before. Despite returning to business, they are now busier to dispel the FBI's tracking of Jeffrey.

Killing FBI spies everywhere is not easy either.

"Yes, cut off all his fingers if he's still," Jeffrey continued after hearing a few words from the other side. Then, the connection is cut off.

It's still too early to disturb the girl's sleep. One o'clock in the evening, if you want to know. Jeffrey had secretly left Jea who was asleep in the room because he had to finish his business that was not finished.

fucking FBI.

Jeffrey glanced around. Silent, and dark. Only dimly visible due to bright moonlight seeped through the ventilation. The sound of droplets from the kitchen tap can be heard, so sunyinya.

Jeffrey doesn't like this kind of silence.

Jeffrey hates.

The man chose to return to the room, hugged the girl again and fell asleep. Like the last few weeks they've been through together. But had not had five steps to walk, Jeffrey frowned while holding his head that was suddenly dizzy.

Wait, shit. Jeffrey tried to destroy himself.

He quickly turned his head back, sweeping his gaze all over as Jeffrey could smell the fishy smell that was becoming increasingly, gushing in, stinging his nose.

His eyes were round, as he clearly saw the helpless body on the floor, filled with blood that almost drowned him.

Jeffrey's body was sculpted, still unable to believe what he was seeing at the moment. His body began to tremble violently, his gaze still could not be separated from the figure of a corpse that was already lying covered in blood.

His breath began to hunt. Time and again his mind began to flail at each other. Blaming each other. The voices in his head increasingly flashed into one, scolding him, scolding him.

Jeffrey was on the floor.

Her hands felt numb and unable to move as her tears slowly began to flow down.

"Mother."

In the gloom of darkness, the body was still there, accompanying him in silence.

The man started looking down, pulling his hair strong, "J-don't."

"Don't kill Mom."

"DON'T KILL MOMMY, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Time and again Jeffrey shouted, cursing to expel all the silence that was pressing on him. Jeffrey hats. He really doesn't know what to do.

The subtle whispers grew louder, screeching to be released immediately. Jeffrey clenched his hands tightly. Trying to get rid of the whisperings that constantly tell him to disappear, or die.

"The bodies there aren't what I've done."

His voice grew weaker along with the fear that was increasingly crawling his entire body. The man's body was curled up, so fragile.

"Mom-I'm sorry..."

Jeffrey repeatedly uttered the same sentence. It desperately tried to take its eyes off the female corpse on the marble floor there.

"JEFFREY?" A few minutes ago, Jea woke up and walked out of her room when she realized there was no Jeffrey next to her.

The girl was surprised. Just this time he could see the figure of Jeffrey who was frightened like that. In a hurry he approached the man and hugged Jeffrey's large vibrating body.

"J-Jeffrey? W-what's up?"

Clearly, Jea could feel that the body was completely unbecoming. I don't know because of what. Jeffrey did not answer. The man only muttered indistinctly while occasionally mentioning the word 'mother' from his mouth.

"Mother."

"Mom-Mom? What does Jeffrey mean?"

Finally, Jeffrey slowly lifted his head, sticking out his red eyes and the look on his face was so chaotic. For whatever sake, Jea was so shocked now. And somehow explain it, Jea seemed to feel sick to see Jeffrey's condition like this.

"What's Jeffrey??"

"Mom—'s there."

Then the girl glanced at Jeffrey's index finger pointing somewhere. But— does not exist. Jea couldn't see anything there. It made the girl even more confused.

"There's nothing there, Jeffrey."

"Mothers. There's Mom."

The girl's eyes stared at the nano. Don't know how to. Jea clasped Jeffrey's body tightly into his arms, then cried.

What's wrong with Jeffrey now?

Really, Jea hates that anything could make Jeffrey sick.

Jea hates it.

"Jeffrey is not pa-pa. There's Jea here. There's Jea. It's gonna be okay," said the girl as she stroked Jeffrey's hair, which was so soft.

Time and time again, Jeffrey tried to calm down his erratic sighing. His mind started to be not as fierce as before as the elusan felt so soothing.

Jeffrey closed his eyes tightly. Trying to restore his consciousness that had disappeared. Jea's embrace felt so warm that Jeffrey felt the world wasn't as bad as reality.

Is correct. There is currently Jea. All he needs is the girl, and always will be.

The two big arms returned his girl's embrace. In his low voice, Jeffrey whispered softly, "Don't leave me."
