The Majestic Mafia Heir | JJK 「C」

28 | THE END

Insight into the chapter

"Will you have a happy ending or will everything end drastically?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's a long story, but yeah... Jungkook and I are married."

"I... did not expect that." He chuckled again in disbelief, and I couldn't help but laugh too.

"This whole thing has been pretty insane. dad. But I would go through it a hundred times over if it meant saving you again." I took his hand and added, "Dad, I am sorry I was not there to protect you. But now, we need to get you someplace safe. After all of this, you need to lie low."

"I know that, Eun Jeong... But I don't want you wasting your life looking after this old man. You deserve to have your own life and for someone to finally take care of you! All your life you have been trained to serve the family and I was a fool because I let it happen. But your life should be more than this. I should be filled with love and life instead of violence and crime." He embraced me one more time and added. "All I want is for you to be happy, Eun Jeong."

"Thanks, dad."

Gently, he pulled away and sways for a moment on his feet. "Dad? Are you okay?"

"I am feeling a little sick. I need to lie down."

You were looking at us from afar. You quickly came to my father's side. "Okay, I think you need to rest, Mr. Park. Come on."

Carefully, you helped my father lie in the backseat and made sure he was comfortable. He quickly fell asleep, and you glanced over at me. "Why did you not go to the airport?"

"Because Chul Woo got the jump on me and John! He knew who I am and said your dad knows too." Your eyes widened and I continued before you could reply. "He wanted me to marry you because he figured you would get my assets once I was dead. So yeah, I am sorry I did not follow your plan. But I could not leave you behind. I know you wanted me to be safe but all I could think about was whether you were safe."

"Oh, Piccola. It was a shitshow, I understand that. I just wish it had not been." I sighed and you took my hand to kiss it softly. "Let's give your dad a moment to sleep and take a walk to the shore."

"Sure."

I followed you out of the car and you took my hand as we approached the shore of the lake.

The reflection of the two of us in our wedding attire shimmered in the moonlight.

"So... How would you like the reception, Piccola?"

"I really wanted to throw the bouquet. But I guess your dad being ready to kill me kind of got in the way of that."

My cheekiness made you scoff, and you shook your head. "I could always scrounge up some wildflowers and you can throw them at me."

"Now, where is the fun in that?"

We both smiled at each other, and again came that feeling, where despite the darkness and the danger, I felt some sense of sweet normalcy.

I leaned my head on your shoulder as you gazed over the surface of the lake. "I really don't want to ruin the mood, because I am really, really, really liking this, but what are you going to do, Jungkook? Your dad still doesn't know you did any of this. You can return home and act oblivious."

"Not if Chang ratted me out to my dad. We approached him together, remember?"

"I think your dad won't truth Chang."

"I can't take a chance on that. It is too risky to go back now."

I sighed, worried, blaming myself for where I had brought you.
