Chapter 41

I miss Junna and the kids. I thought to myself, staring at the crocheted bracelet. I lift a small smile while looking outside the window. I just know he is looking at me. I decided to ignore him.

Seokjin was driving while dad is on the passenger seat, talking on the phone with Henry and... Jeongguk on my right side.

"You guys seems to be a bestie thing now." I hear him say and I know who he meant. Taehyung.

"Excuse me?" I play dumb. Well, more like surprised with the sudden talk.

"You heard me." Dad slowly and carefully turns around with his phone on his ear. Jeongguk doesn't look pleased.

"I mean..we have things in common." I look at the window again meanwhile my inner me is freaking out. What–was–that? No–don't grin. I press my lips together, hard.

"Woah, Jeongguk, that glare is telling me 'I'm so jealoussss' riiiight?" Seokjin wiggles his eyebrows and concentrate on his driving. I feel my face heat. I stole a quick glance at him, he was already staring at me. I turn away. And wait. And then I turn to him again. But this time I kept looking. His face soften and I got lost in his dark eyes. I forgot where I was or where we are going. At this moment I'm being enjoyed looking at. And for me it was attractive. He is attractive and I'm attached to him.

"Hey!" We both flinched at dad whom shouted with his frown eyes. "I'm watching you both." He turn away, adjusting his seat. I take a book from my tote bag and I'm not even reading, can't even focus on the words. I feel my face is warm and I could hear my heart beating. A hand grabs the book and turns it upside. I was holding it downside. I shut my eyes from embarrassment. I grin and thank Jeongguk. And I heard his chuckle. That chuckle of his. I blush harder.

But...didn't he say he wanted to end things with us? Why is he behaving like that now?

When we came to an arrival, we quickly asked for Lenda's new room. Dad has spoke to Henry to arrange her a safer and VIP room, only for special agents. I see Henry waiting outside the room and my heart softened seeing him. I gave him a quick hug before entering inside the room. Lenda's face was peaceful and healthier than before. The first thing I do is touch her hand after using hand Sanitizer.

"Hey..." I whisper with a smile on. "I'm so glad to see you. You are in a safe place now." I carefully caress her hand. Oh, how I miss her so much. Our time came to final and dad called me out. I head outside. I see dad and Henry discussing about something I could quite hear. It was interesting. I couldn't help but to eavesdrop with big curiosity. Suddenly something cold touches my face. I flinch and look to my side, seeing Jeongguk holding a bottle. I see it was a smoothie. He hands it to me and I thank him. "I needed that." I open it and before drinking I look at him and ask, "did you drink from it? It's already open."

"No I did not. I opened it for you before giving it, dummy." I smile and thank him again. Dad and Henry got a little far from us and continued to speak with their low tone. And with that I had the urge to speak to Jeongguk whatever was on my mind.

"Didn't you tell me you will never show up again?"

"I said I might."

"You always confuse me." We both didn't dare to stare at each other but only at the wall. "One day you show up. Next you don't. And then you turn out to be my bodyguard in secret. You also got me in my feelings and ran away."

"I did not run away, Angelina. As you know now, I'm an assassin and I get orders I can't refuse. Basically I have two jobs at the moment. And my boss can't know about this."

"What happens if he finds out?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Will send his best men out to kill me." There was a moment of silence between us. I change the topic.
