THE MAFIA'S DARLING [A Jeon Jungkook FF]

[28]

[Yn's POV]

Jake: "Don't you think it will look good over there? Next to the vase?" My brother chirped as he looked at me with the large painting in his hands that apparently one of his friends gifted him on his birthday. I shrugged my shoulders, not sure what to say because I was so lost into my own thoughts. Jake sighed and placed the painting on the floor and approached me. "Yn, it's been two months since we moved out from that house and shifted here, and all of that was to make you move on from him, to make us move on from him. You are not yourself, not for even once. What is bothering you? Are you scared that he will find us? Do you still love him?" I stared at my brother who asked me these questions with a serious face.

He does not address his name anymore. My family loathes him as much as I do, or I am pretending to, but still it hurts to see how all of us have changed. His last question caught me off guard.

Do you still love him?

Yes. My heart cried. No. My brain interrupted.

I don't even know what happened to him after that accident, but after having a conversation with uncle Jeon, I am sure that he is sound and safe. I still remember how he calmly he told me his condition, and apologised to me for his behaviour.

Uncle Jeon: "You won't hear from him. I assure you that. I sincerely apologise for all the ruckus you and your family went through because of us. It's obvious that a simple girl like you wouldn't want to involve in our dangerous world, you already became the victim of our rivalry. He is fine, nothing happened to him, but I believe you know who did that don't you?"

I pursed my lips into a thin line and looked down. We were at a cafe, I was surprised when uncle Jeon called me and asked me to meet him. He looked concerned for his son, even I am concerned for him, but I was happy about one thing that he was safe. But how should I answer his question? I am in no position to reveal what Baekhyun told me, and for some unknown reason I don't trust him fully. I am stuck in this mess that has got nothing to do with me, what should I do? I don't want to create a misunderstanding, besides I don't even know the whole thing yet. Noticing my hesitancy, uncle Jeon spoke, catching me off guard.

Uncle Jeon: "You can't reveal that to me, right?" He asked in a deep voice that sent shivers down my spine. His voice was calm but dangerous, filled with anger.

"I don't know what to say uncle- Mr. Jeon" I corrected myself as he looked at me with narrowed eyes. "I was saved, and the only thing that I care about is my family. I already lost someone, and I can't bear to lose someone who is dearest to me again. But I can say one thing, even I don't know who is behind this, your new rival. All I know is that, I was saved by someone who knows him"

Uncle Jeon: "And who is that someone?"

"I can't reveal that to you, I am sorry" I looked into his eyes as I refused to provide him with the name he was looking for. I am not betraying Jungkook here by siding with Baekhyun, I am simply returning the favour by saving his life since he saved mine. Like he told, he has got nothing to do with the Mafia business which his brother runs. He did all that to save me, so now it's my responsibility to keep him away from this. Uncle Jeon gazed at me with calculative eyes.

Uncle Jeon: "Answer me this Yn, do you still love Jungkook?" I froze at my spot.

"Yes I do. I do love him a lot, more than anything, but after what he did, I can't accept him. I can't accept who he is. Because of Mafia's like you, I lost someone. I saw how broken my family was, I saw how we moved on from that, I suffered a lot Mr. Jeon, and I can't see them suffering anymore. I don't want to suffer anymore. So if sacrificing my love to save my family from going through all that, I will happily do it" I spoke while raising my head as tears filled my eyes. It's been years, but still that memory gives me so much pain.
