HIS BALLERINA JIKOOK

CHAPTER 48

                ~One on One~

*NAMJOON*

“You are here.” Dohwa said, scrolling through her phone without even sparing him a glance.

“Seems like you’ve been expecting me.” Namjoon said.

She shrugged, grabbing the steaming mug of tea from the table and gulping it. “Maybe.”

“Why did you do it?” He asked.

She dropped the mug down on the table and continued with her phone. “It’s for your own good.”

“Stop saying that crap!” Namjoon yelled at the top of his voice, surprising both Dohwa and himself. She slowly looked up at him, her eyes were widened in complete shock. “You can’t keep justifying your wrongs by saying that shit all the time.”

“What wrongs are you talking about, Namjoon?” She asked, coming up to her feet. “Is it the wrongs of trying to protect everyone involve in the case?”

“Do you think Jungkook wants this? Do you think Jungkook will be happy to know that his mother is doing everything within her strength to put an end to this case? Or do you think I’m going to stop searching simply because you asked them to suspend me?”

“They suspended you?” She asked, feigning innocent.

“Stop acting clueless. You asked him to suspend me if I don’t drop the case.” He said, glaring at her.

“Then why didn’t you? Huh?” She sighed, running her fingers through her hair. “Why are you making things difficult for everyone? Just drop the case. I beg of you.” She pleaded.

Namjoon scoffed. “Why are you protecting the murderer?”

“What?”

“You heard me. Why exactly are you refusing to tell us who this fucking murderer is?”

“I…I…” She gulped hard, looking away.

“Did you know Jungkook received a note from this ‘unknown murderer’?” He asked, air quoting the unknown murderer, using his fingers.

“What?”

“Oh, seems like you don’t.” He went closer to her. “Listen, no matter how hard you try to stop this case… it won’t work. I won’t stop searching until I catch this fucking psychopath. And hey, you can keep trying to stop me, do you know why?” She didn’t say anything. “It motivates me to search more.” With that said, he turned around and left the house.

*JIMIN*

“Today was so fun.” He said, giggling.

Jungkook parked his car in front of the palace and turned to look at him. “Yeah. Thanks for lighting up my mood.”

“Don’t mention.” He smiled. “But I failed to do one thing.”

Jungkook raised a questioning brow at him. “What?”

“Make you smile.”

“I told you, I can’t smile.” He stated.

Jimin rolled his eyes at him. “Impossible. Everyone is capable of smiling, Jungkook. Even the devil is.” Jungkook said nothing, looking away from him. “Here,” He handed him the flyer of the ballet show. “Can you come along with me?”

“Where?”

“You can read, right?”

Jungkook scoffed, going through the flyer. He slowly lifted his gaze to meet with his. Jungkook was staring directly into his eyes. “A ballet show.”
