The Heart Of A Gangster || K. Th✔

Epilogue

Author's POV

Taehyung put the last luggage in the jeep. He fixed his jacket before looking at Jieun who was talking with Jin. The broad shouldered male handed her a huge lunch box and said,

"You two will definitely get hungry in the long journey. Eat properly okay?" He patted her head and gave her a whole speech about taking care of herself and Taehyung. The Lee girl nodded her head like an obedient baby while Taehyung chuckled at them. This hyung of his also lectured him yesterday about Jieun.

Jin is still protective of her.

The duo then approached towards Taehyung. The assassin opened his mouth.

"Hyung about the others...."

"Don't worry. They all are sleeping like logs."

Well they stayed awake all the night.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone about this. I hope they will understand." Taehyung said, feeling guilty for leaving his members like this.

"I'll come back hyung. I just.......need some time to settle some things."

Jin's eyes softened. He placed his hand on Taehyung's shoulder.

"They're your brothers Tae. They will understand. Although I don't know how long I can keep it secret from Namjoon. He gets to know everything."

"He's our leader after all." They both chuckled and then hugged each other. Taehyung felt a new emotion building inside his heart, a warm feeling of hugging his brother. Jin's eyes filled with tears.

"I'm sorry I wasn't with you when you needed me the most Taehyung-ah. I'm sorry I couldn't do much for you as a big brother." He mumbled, patting his little brother's back.

"Hyung. It was in the past. Just forget it. And about doing anything you are the reason which is why Jieun is with me now."

It's true. Taehyung got to meet Jieun because of Jin. Jin was the first person who told Taehyung about Jieun's whereabouts when she was studying under his custody.

Jin smiled at him.

"I'm glad then. So have you thought when you'll come back?"

"Naah. But I promise I'll come back hyung. Until then take care of yourself and the others."

Taehyung glanced at Jieun and smiled at her before getting into the jeep. Jin stared at the Lee girl, who was fondly watching them. So many moments they've shared with each other.

To Jieun, Jin was a person with a confusing duality. But he was the person whom she shared most of her emotions. Jin always tried to be on her side and he played a great role in her life. Jieun loves Jin's carefree and positive mind and she's also afraid of his sadistic scary side.

"Jin oppa." She muttered his name. Jin didn't waste a second to pull her in a bone crushing hug.

"Oh Jieun-ah. I'm gonna miss you so much." Jin mumbled hugging her tightly. His closed his eyes, letting his tears fall. At first he found fun flirting with Jieun. But as time passed by, he started to feel affection towards her, as a big brother. Jin always wanted to have a little sister. But after Jisoo passed away he never ever thought about that matter. Jieun filled the emptiness of her.

"I'll miss you too oppa." Jieun softly spoke. Jin kissed her head and ruffled her hair.

"Take care."

She gave him a sweet smile. When she sat on her seat in the jeep beside Taehyung she remembered something.

"I forgot! Here. Give these to the boys. I'm sorry I didn't meet them before I go." She handed him some small letters. Jin looked at them.
