Running in Circles (Jikook)

Chapter 47: A break

Chapter 47: A break

"What are you trying to do, Jungkook? I told you to lay low."

"I am trying to, but they hurt people, and we need to help them." Jungkook lets out a sigh, almost rolling his eyes while speaking on the phone with his second uncle, Yunho.

"I'm working hard for our family. Not for you to ruin it."

"I'm not ruining it."

"Stop doing what you're doing I'm warning you. Now is not the time we mess with them. Can't you understand? We're not supposed to mess with them until we find their authority back up."

"More people die because of them day by day. There are tons of innocent young men and women who are being abused and worse, and you're telling me to sit still and let that happen?" Jungkook finally rolls his eyes. "I mean have we been caught after all these years? You guys trained me yourself and yet you don't trust me."

"We've been helping as much as we can, but what you're doing is edgy and risky. We always help those victims as we lay low. I'm sure they will get more and more suspicious. Do you need to wait until we get caught to stop? We always help the victims and make it like an accident, not an attack. We've always been succeeding in doing those things, but now it's getting loud because of you Jeon Jungkook, and it's a shame to say that my nephew is becoming so reckless. See Jungkook, you can't be stubborn in a situation like this. I don't want to take credits for training you anymore. How come you being like this? Aren't you risking too much for that Jimin kid?"

"You know Jimin? It's not lik-"

"I know your moves. I know everything, so you Jungkook, should stop with the bullshit. You already know you're doing all these loud stupid act of exposing the Jung to protect that kid. Guess what, one day we're going to be exposed too if you don't stop and start to lay low. Try not to let your emotions get to you. I want justice for your mother as much as you do. She's my little sister for god's sake."

"How much do you know?" Jungkook is worrying if his uncle knows about Jimin's family.

Yunho is a busy man, but one thing that he will never skip is to have eyes on everyone in his family. It's for safety to know who Jungkook hangs out with. It caught his attention how Jungkook moved to a new apartment and spent so much time with Jimin. "I know enough."

"I admit that I've been reckless in order to protect Jimin, but It's the Jung mafia." Jungkook says in a calm voice. His eyes stare blankly at his front.

"What?"

"Eomma was trying to save a lady who owed the Jung mafia the money. They captured her, and the accident happened when"

"they were trying to chase your mother. Yes, tell me something I don't already know. Eunwoo reports everything, remember? Any reasons why you didn't mention the lady's name? Park Minjung, right? Park Jimin's mother."

It's not even one hour, and that Eunwoo already reported everything. Jungkook taps on the steering wheel with irritations. "If you're so good at this thing, why haven't you tried to find out about this yourself? Do you really care about my eomma?"

"Watch your mouth Jeon Jungkook. I've been trying, but you know why it's been going very slow. Do you think it's easy to do that with such a heavy amount of workload as a secret agent? Finding out about Ana's incident would make the other mafia want to come at me, and if they get suspicious even for a tiny bit, I will lose this job. I have people to take care of. My team has families they need to go back to." It should have been easy to work on Ana's incident, but it's so much harder in reality. Yunho can't use authority to dig about this. "You also know that we can't just let our guys do the work to dig about Ana. We need to do it by ourselves, and that would mean more risks of being exposed. That's why I'm asking you to lay low because if they start digging about us. We're all fucked. It's the Jeon dynasty we're talking about."

Perk of being a fake mafia clan who's actually working for the police. Their businesses are real. Being exposed means that they will lose their job in police departments with no more protections, and it will be followed by all the mafia clans will team up and attack them. It's life threatening. Jungkook understands. He knows why it's so nerve wrecking for his uncle that he gets close to Jung. "I'm sorry."

"I truly understand how you feel, Jungkook, but really you need to do as I said. Jung Hoseok already knows you're digging about Park Minjung. It's not a secret you're Ana's son. Have you planned what would happen if Park Minjung told Jung Junsu that you know it's them who caused your mom's accident? Can you predict what that lady would do?"

"She would not. I have his son near me. She wouldn't do something so stupid."

"I'm telling you. Gamblers, they can do anything. You can never trust them. It's not you who's winning."

"I told Eunwoo to keep an eye on her. Can you provide help with that too?" Jungkook's voice becomes soft. His uncle has a point. A lady who can steal from her son can do anything.

"I will do whatever I can, but Jungkook, on second thought, I think you need to be suspended from this. It's not safe anymore the more we talk about it. We need to stop completely."

"What?! You can't do this to me. I'm getting so close to the truth." Jungkook this time hits on the steering wheel.

"And so close to get all of us exposed. I can't risk that. We can use the same people who've been gathering illegal acts. I will tell Eunwoo and the other guys to quit. We don't need to risk such a valuable team."

"Hey, you can't do this! I will lay low. Don't suspend me like this. I'm begging you!" Jungkook starts shouting at his uncle.

"We will keep our eyes on Minjung. I'm going to work on finding Jung's backups, and then you will start working on the Ana incident again when I tell you to. I will also have my eyes on you. Eunwoo is still on your side but he works under me too. If I find out that you don't do as I say, I will make sure you learn your lesson. Maybe I'll send you away, and you won't get to see that little Park kid again."

Jungkook knows in my heart his uncle is capable of doing so. Yunho uncle is always best at keeping his emotions aside. No word is being uttered. Jungkook can't argue or say anything back since his uncle is dead serious, and he has to follow what he says.

"In the meantime Jungkook, try to figure out about the lovey dovey situation with Park Jimin. He's the son of that lady who made you lose your mother after all."
