Mafia's Promise || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 13

Taehyung was shirtless, sitting on the couch, eating popcorn. I looked shocked at him, as he got stiff. His hand stopped midway from his mouth and the popcorn. I nervously coughed as he realized that he had no shirt on.

"Maybe...um...you can wear your shirt as I..." I muttered as I turned around. He almost choked at his popcorn.

Y/N, why in the world did you even come here??! You knew everything's a mess with this guy around.

But then I felt a pair of hands around my waist. My eyes widened as he whispered in my ear, "I forgot I even called you here today."

"Why did you call me?" I asked, not surprised at his action for some reason.

"Well..." he hesitated, "Today's the day my father died. Or rather...killed. It makes me sad thinking about him, so I need a distraction."

I sighed. Why did I find him as the person I meet every day? It pains me that he wants comfort from the person who is the reason he's sad in the first place. I hate him, and I think he should hate me...but it just isn't like that. I can't accept his proposal in any way.

"Why don't you call you brother?" I suggested, hoping he'd let me go.

"Hyung doesn't like to talk about dad. He won't come over. And he's got Jimin. But what about me? I need someone too. I'm just...alone."

A wave of realization washed over me at that comment. A person who's famous all over the world, a person who had inherited the biggest company in all of Korea, a person who can build a whole city out of gold, is lonely? And I on the other hand am just a girl from a small place in Busan who has no business over anything, has so much love that I never feel alone.

"You've got lots of maids to take care of you," I said as he placed his head on my shoulder, "You don't need me."

He turned me to face him and grabbed my shoulders. "The maids don't care about me. No one does. What I need is someone who knows me, some who understands me. Someone...who can be my mom, and my Jin hyung. I need you."

"What makes you think I care about you?" I said looking at the floor. He then let go of me and brought a knife from the kitchen. He brought his left hand in front of him and was about to cut his hand when I grabbed his right hand.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING??!" I screamed, looking into his eyes. He smiled.

"Why did you stop me?"

"What do you mean, 'why'?!"

"If you didn't care, you wouldn't have done it," he said, placing the knife on the counter as I looked at him. Why did I stop him? Do I actually care? Wasn't that just humanity?

He doesn't seem like that cold and boss-like person he is in the company. He is like a person who needs answers to the questions of his life. He seems like someone innocent. But I'm not the one he should look up to. I'm not the person who can tell him what to do. I'm not good-hearted. All I can give him is pain.

"Can you do one thing for me?" Taehyung broke my thoughts.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Can you stay with me tonight?"

Jin P.O.V

Jimin went upstairs. I smiled at him. I'm glad he's always there for me. He's a person who looks normal, but inside he's got a heart of gold. If you get to know him, he can be a great friend. It's nice to actually have someone like him by your side.

Recently I can see that there's something bothering him. And I want to ask, but sometimes, you have to let him tell it to you, rather than making him say it.

Today was the day dad died. I didn't wanna meet Taehyung, because seeing him makes me worry about him. And if he sees me worried, then he starts getting paranoid. He lives a lonely life with no one to stand up for him. He shows people from the outside that he's got everything, but I know that he's not perfect on the inside.

Unknown P.O.V

I don't think my money will be enough for tomorrow. I've traveled all over Seoul trying to find her, but all I got is nothing. Will she accept me? Even if I get there, I don't think I'm sure that she'll let me stay. But I've got to try, 'cause I don't have another option.

I got on to the bus. It passed by Kim hit, the biggest company. I think its run by the Kim Taemong guy. Or was it Kim Turhyung? I have no idea. That guy looks cool in the TV with the shades he wears. That's all I know about him. That guy was such a nerd in elementary school with those round glasses.

He changed after the death of his father.

Y/N P.O.V

"Can you stay with me tonight?"

I was shocked at his words. Stay with him?! Who am I, his caretaker?!!

"I don't know," I muttered. Taehyung sat on the couch. I was glad to see that he'd put a shirt on.

"Please..." he whispered. I went to him and placed my hand on his head. For the first time, I was feeling guilty for killing someone I needed to. He looked at me with the eyes widened. My eyes widened as I saw that my hand was on his head. I removed my hand from there and placed it on the pocket of my jacket.

"I'm sorry...I just pet people's heads when they are sad," I explained.

"Then do it. I didn't tell you not to," he said and forced a smile at me. I ruffled his hair. I wasn't planning on staying, but if it will make him happy, I guess it's just one night. Right?

But why am I caring about his emotions? I just got this job only to get his trust and kill him. I guess this qualifies as earning his trust. But how will I kill him after all this?
