Chapter 14 || Upset

"You went where!"

Jungkook watched in amusement as his brother's usually cool and reserved voice sounded loud and outraged. Jungkook had just come to the library, carrying a few documents requiring Tae-hyung's signature on them.
Y/n was at the library, too, and must have apparently just revealed what she wanted to do.

"How could you go to the site and meet your cousin on your own!" Tae-hyung demanded.

"Will you just relax? I knew Jungkook was at the site when I went to meet Yeri."

Jungkook could see his brother wanted to say more but controlled himself when he saw the challenging glare on his wife's face.

"I told you I wanted the letters," said Y/n. "I know Mimo must have saved them all. Yeri promised to help me find them."

"Then let your cousin find them and send them to you."

"She can't read. So, Jungkook will help her search while I keep my aunt busy."

"That sounds dangerous."

"It's not. But if you are worried, then join me while I distract my aunt. Yeri and Jungkook can search for those letters."

"Why would your aunt speak with you?" Tae-hyung demanded. "You more or less challenged her authority the last time you saw her. She will not simply welcome you with open arms."

"Oh, she will," Y/n said in a confident manner. "She will because I'm carrying Kim Tae-hee's grandchild in me."

Tae-hyung frowned in confusion. Jungkook couldn't blame him.

Jungkook was still confused about what Y/n was trying to prove with the letters. But even if there was the smallest chance of having some clue to the past, he was willing to cooperate with Y/n's plan.

"What are you trying to prove, Y/n?" Tae-hyung asked.

Y/n sighed. "You already know I have a strong gut feeling that my aunt was involved in some way or other for what happened with our parents. I just wanted to start by proving my suspicion that she was in love with your father."

"Even if she was. What does that prove?" Jungkook asked curiously.

"It proves she wouldn't just meekly accept to marry the brother of the man she loved."

"Y/n," said Tae-hyung in a gentle tone. "I already told you, love. People who grew up here give a lot of importance to family honor. Even if she
weren't in love with my uncle, Kim Woo-min, Mimo would have agreed to marry him for the sake of our people."

Y/n shook her head. "I know that sounds more reasonable, but Kang Mimo is a selfish woman. Yeri had told me the same thing as well."

"Maybe so," said Tae-hyung. "But when it comes to marriage, they always made decisions based on what was good for their land and people. When the time comes, even your cousin most likely will do the same."

Jungkook frowned. "What do you mean?" he demanded.

Tae-hyung looked at him. "Apparently, there have been talks going on to propose an alliance between Lee Je-hoon and Kang Yeri."

Everything went silent.

Jungkook tried to process what his brother had just said. He knew Tae-hyung wasn't the kind to say anything unless he had concrete proof.

Kang Yeri Kang-married?

"I hope you have other copies of that document," Jungkook heard Tae-hyung's voice say dryly.

Pulling himself together from the red haze that seemed to dominate his vision and mind, Jungkook slowly looked at his hand. His hands were fisted tightly, and the document he held was crumpled within.

Jungkook took a deep breath and got up from the sofa. "Yes. There are other copies. I'll send them to you through someone."

Tae-hyung and Y/n were watching him with curious looks on their faces. "Excuse me," he told them as he left the library.

Jungkook didn't understand why his heart was beating faster. What was it that he felt? It was a strange feeling. It felt as if he had suddenly been kicked in the stomach and left breathless.

Was he feeling... upset? Maybe he was.
He could definitely try and reason that irrational feeling.

He was upset because... he didn't want two of his enemies uniting and causing trouble for the Kims.

Yes, that must be it.

Yeah, right. Like you really believe that.
Jungkook ignored the snickering voice inside.
