스물다섯: concept of fate

"How is Juhui doing? Is she fine?" Yoongi's demeanor now bore calmness as he began to take long strides after putting forth his concern for the man's sister.

However, the cover of his pretense soon fell off when Bomin tugged onto his sleeve, halting him on his way. Hanging his head down wearily for a few moments, Yoongi jolted his neck back up before turning to face the other man, whose eyes were brimming with an unusual kind of curiosity.

The kind of curiosity that Yoongi had always preferred to evade.

"You're just confused Yoongi, aren't you?" Bomin questioned, to which Yoongi responded by arching his brow in defense. "You're just confused between the two ladies, right? Or else why would you break up with my sister when things were sailing smoothly? Nothing else apart from you needing time to figure out your feelings, makes sense." He finished, almost provoking the otherwise unperturbed superior.

"Let me clear this one thing, Bomin. It wasn't me who texted Juhui that, alright? Someone had hacked into my ID and sent Juhui that text— must've been jealous of our so-called loving relationship, as you say. It isn't my fault that she failed to trust me. And about Miss Nam, I'd rather have you not talk nonsense about her. We just happen to form a close bond, and there's nothing more to it. She doesn't like me romantically, nor do I. So please, do me a favor and don't make the poor woman's life tougher than it already is." Yoongi snarled towards the end, not knowing how to contain his frustration anymore.

Bomin had surely flinched at such an exhibition of emotions from Yoongi's side, but that did not mean that he had complied to suspending his prying as well.

"What? Why didn't you report this? Being a policeman, that is the first thing that you should've done! And Juhui? Why didn't you tell all of this to Juhui? Why not clear the air between you two—"

"As I said. She legit didn't trust me, nor my love for her. So why would I bother to explain anything to her? It's actually better how fate played itself to make me familiar with her reality. I'm actually thankful to the hacker, though that may not remain the same if he reattempts it." Yoongi cracked a small smile as he patted Bomin's shoulder, only to get his hands brushed off by the latter.

"You never believed in fate. What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Can you be more practical, for heaven's sake?" Bomin snapped angrily, causing Yoongi to widen his eyes out of shock.

"Now that you mention it..." Yoongi dragged his words as he adopted a musing posture and continued, "I'm starting to believe in the concept for some reason." He swayed his head in amusement before rotating on his own spot as he readied himself to head towards his office.

Funnily enough, even though both the men were specialists in the field of intelligence, they seemed to have forgotten that walls tend to have ears too, and that too during the most unfavorable of times. Eunbi had only walked away a little when she heard Bomin apologizing to Yoongi to have scared him unintentionally. Although totally unaware of how their discussion might unfold, she still decided to remain planted on her spot and eventually eavesdrop on them. She had felt herself burning with rage when due to Bomin, Yoongi discarded their relationship as a mere bond and nothing more than that.

Eunbi very well knew that Juhui was that chapter of Yoongi's life which he would not be able to forget just like that. But as much as she had seen throughout her life, nothing in the world is unachievable.

Not even the complete dismissal of whatever amount of residual love that Yoongi held for Juhui, from his heart.

"She lives in a nice house, what does she do for a living?" Eunbi gaped at the comparatively luxurious house that stood in front of her, which apparently was issued under Juhui's name.

Contrary to what Eunbi had assumed about Juhui, the latter must have held an important social and economic position to be living such an extravagant life at a young age. However, she also could not care less about one's livelihood to waste away her precious time just like that. She had to do what she had planned some hours ago, as neatly and soon as possible.

"The number of guards she has employed for her house isn't proportional to its area. Looks like nobody has ever tried to take advantage of her carelessness. I guess I'll have to be the good person as always and save her from the future threats that await her." Eunbi blabbered to herself in between irregular pants as she landed onto the cemented floor of Juhui's home's compound. She had broken into only one house prior to this, but still, she would unarguably settle to crown Juhui's house as much harder to trespass into.

It was as if even the celestial bodies yearned for Eunbi to accomplish her scheme that night that she had managed to sight an open window amidst the tall trees that circumscribed the structure.

"The amount of naivety I'm witnessing here is making me throw up." Eunbi grimaced, shortly following with a small chuckle as she advanced towards one of the trees that was closer to the window.

It was a matter of time that she had jumped into the room that the window must have belonged to, startling the figure that was lightly snoring until then. As soon as the spell of slumber was warded off from Juhui's head, once she glimpsed a strange shadow in her room, her lips twitched involuntarily, urging her to scream the wits out of her. Though much to her dismay, the black-clad intruder beat her to it.

"You signal anyone of my presence here and this knife goes right through you. The decision is yours." Eunbi whispered rather lowly, but there was an evident darkness lacing her voice.
