Mafia Fate | Jeon Jungkook x OC ✔️

Chapter 61

Yeri's POV

I wasn't sure how he had convinced me but after some time, I found myself standing in front of the door of the house that I lived in, along with my luggage.

All the stuff that I had used at his home.
He had thrown me and everything related to me out of his home and his life.

I do not know when was it that I went inside.

I do not know when was it that I fell asleep. But did I really sleep? I didn't know.

All I knew was that something had gone wrong and I was back to square one. Again.

And it hurt a lot.

The next day I found myself face to face with the people from my neighborhood. They all hit me with questions and expressed their concern.

"I'm fine, everybody," I spoke for the first time in a while, making them all go quiet.

"But what happened?" one of them spoke softly. "Where were you?"

"I was someplace safe. I have been there all this time. I know I told nobody and left for such a long time, but there are just some things I cannot control," I explained.

"Had you gone to another country?"

I shook my head.

"Another city?"

I shook my head again.

"Then where were you? It has been a whole year. We were so worried. We went to report to the police but nothing happened. It was as if you had been wiped off the surface of this planet."

"I was someplace happy and peaceful, that is all there is to say about where I was," I told them.

"Are you gonna go back there again?"

I shook my head.

"No, I'm back. I will not be going there again."

Since they could get nothing more out of me, they didn't pry for further information. Instead, they gave me food to eat and took care of me.

Honestly, I wanted to tell them what had happened but I couldn't even bring myself to speak of him.

Everything had fallen apart so easily and so quickly it was difficult for me to register it. Every inch of me hurt. I wanted to go back to him. I wanted to see him again. I was used to his presence being around me and near me.

But right now, I couldn't even think of him without crying.

And I did cry a lot.

He was the first ever person I found home with. And not being with him killed me. It killed me to the depths of my soul and left me in a hell I had never experienced before. A hell brought on me due to the loss of something great.

3rd person POV

Jungkook parked his car in Taehyung's garage and entered the house.

He was tired after the three hour journey from Seoul to Daegu but he needed to see his brother. And fast.

Jungkook found Taehyung in his room, sitting on his bed, working.

When Taehyung saw Jungkook walk in through the door he immediately got up and brought Jungkook to sit on one of the sofas in his room.

"You look even worse than you sounded on the phone," he said.

"Hyung, I lost her," was the only thing Jungkook said before his head dropped onto Taehyung's shoulder.

"What are you talking about?" Taehyung asked as he heard the younger one sobbing and trembling.

"I let her go, hyung. I let Yeri go. And it's been days since it happened but I cannot bear the pain."

He lifted his head and placed his hand over his heart.

"It hurts," he said and sobbed. "Right here."

"Oh Jungkook, what have you done? Are you out of your mind?"

"I didn't want her to stay with me any longer. I didn't want it at all. So, I let her be free. But it hurts a lot. I'm in a lot of pain," Jungkook explained like a child, tears running down his face.

Taehyung brought him closer and hugged him.

"There is still time, go chase after her," Taehyung said.

But Jungkook shook his head.

"If I had to chase after her, I wouldn't have let her go like this."

"What made you suddenly want to do that to both of you?"

"She was in danger as long as she was with me. I didn't want her to be a target. She has nothing to do with the mafia and everything related to it. She can be free now and live a normal life."

"Do you really think she'd want to live without you?"
