Mafia Fate | Jeon Jungkook x OC ✔️

Chapter 41

Yeri's POV

The warmth of sunlight on my face made me reluctantly open my eyes. My head throbbed as I tried to sit up but failed.

My body suddenly felt tired despite waking up from sleep.

I looked around as my eyes finally came fully open and I found myself inside my room, in my own bed.

I looked to my side only to find Jungkook sleeping on a chair, his face resting on the bed and his hand laced into mine.

The events of the previous night slowly came into my mind and I closed my eyes forcefully and willed them to go away.

I had killed my father and passed out after that.

Perhaps my grip on Jungkook's hand tightened due to the pain in my head because I heard him groan in pain and then his hand twitched in mine.

I opened my eyes to see Jungkook slowly coming awake. He looked at me with bloodshot eyes and bags underneath them. His eyes were puffy and half open as he rubbed the sleep away from them.

"Jungkook?"

Upon hearing his name from my mouth, his eyes widened and he moved forward. He just looked at me but didn't say anything.

"Jungkook," I repeated firmly this time.

Instead of responding, his gaze dropped and his head hung low. I was about to say something when I saw tears fall from his eyes.

"Jungkook?"

I moved forward and attempted to bring him inside my embrace but he shook his head and pulled away, still not looking at me.

"Hyung told me not to do it. I- I shouldn't have done that. I fucked up. I can't even say that I'm sorry. I was so blinded by rage and the desire to seek revenge, I forgot I was destroying you. I'm a fucking monster. Whatever happened, you went through your past because of me. It fucking hurt me to see you like that."

I couldn't say anything. His body shook from his sobs but I couldn't move forward to comfort him.

He looked at me with eyes redder than before; if that was even possible.

"I wanted to stop but I c-couldn't," he said as his voice broke. "I could have done anything but I didn't. I- I wanted to see you hurt. That was what my plan was. He was your father after all. I wanted you to feel the same pain I did. I wanted to see you kill your father. I wanted to see your father get killed by his own daughter.

"Fucking monster. That is what I am."

His body rocked with sobs and he sniffled.

"Hyung told me to stop. He told me I'd hurt you. You don't deserve what I did to you-" his voice broke and more tears fell from his eyes.

The silence between us was filled with his quiet whimpers. I looked at him for a few moments which stretched like endless eternities.

Finally when I couldn't take it anymore, I moved forward and put a hand over his shoulder.

In that moment, it wasn't me who was making my decisions. Something in me was urging me strongly to move towards the man in front of me and hold him. It broke my heart to see him like that. He was being so vulnerable.

"Jungkook, look at me," I told him softly.

He shook his head.

"Jungkook, look at me, please."

Slowly but surely his head came up, yet, his eyes wouldn't meet mine.

I grabbed his face in my hands and made him look at me.
