A Slave's Savior [A taekook mafia fan fiction]

Chapter 29

"Do you smoke?" Jungkook asked staring at Sehoon's black lighter with his big curious eyes.

Sehoon switched the button on, the flame fluttered a little but then started burning with a neon purple light.

"I just like keeping lighters." Sehoon said and filled his mouth with  a  lolipop.

"Sometimes i do smoke but not in public." He muttered to Jungkook.

In his reward he received a hit on his head from Jimin. "Don't tell him stupid things, his hyung will eat me alive." said Jimin glaring at the boy.

"I was just answering" Sehoon whined.

"Hn."

"Couldn't find banana milk so lollies." He said to avoid conversation.

"Jungkook put the strawberry flavoured lolipop in his mouth, I mean banana and banana milk are two different things.. " Jungkook stated still glancing at the lighter.

"Here"
Sehoon said showing the flames and handed the lighter to Jungkook.

The lighter was Inc black, rectangular in shaped, the slight curve on it's corners made it more captivating.  It was adorned with some golden inscriptions. Sehoon noticed his actions and explained that it was some Ancient quote. Jungkook couldn't read but he found the cursive writing dramatically attractive. The overall theme of the lighter was dark and mysterious that fascinated jungkook even more. It was when Sehoon quoted the lines and translated them Jungkook realised something.

"Leaves of a plant sacrifice their beauty and reduce to thorns. They don't do it for leverage. They do so to protect their fragile symbols of love and beauty."

Oh how it reminded him of the only person he trusted on this planet. Yes his Hyung, dark, mysterious, attractive, charming, lovely, fantastic and all the other nice adjectives.

"It's pretty." Jungkook whispered his gaze admiringly stuck at the inscription.

"No it's cool." Sehoon said.

He pulled 2 more lighters from his bag handing to Jimin. "Take whatever you like."

"This one is more appealing Kook." Jimin said as he pushed while pushing the button. Though the other 2  lighters burned with multicolored flames. Jungkook's eyes we're stuck on the one in his hands.

"I'll show it to hyung. It reminds me  of him." Jungkook confessed giving a bunny smile to Sehoon.

The elders lips stretched in a smile.
"..By the way you guys are coming this weekend."

"No hyungie said I can meet you at jimin house but no going out."

"Your hyung's overprotective." Sehoon scoffed.

"Hmm but he has his reason he has a lot of enemies.." Jungkook explained.

"Does that means he'll keep you locked I the house forever?"

"No. He won't." Jungkook defended.
"He's not like that. He just fears to see me hurt."

"Trust me jungkook
I know people like them
They're just hungry for power they want to control every life around them."

Sehoon softly kept a hand on younger's shoulders.

"They wanna keep you like their toy, dress you the way they want, mould you however they want. They want other to do things accort to their own wishes, they won't let you be yourself."
His dreamy eyes focused on nothingness behind Jungkook.

"You disappoint their one expectation and they would consider you infected.
You do one mistake and they would hurt you."
He turned his head moving a little away from Jungkook and looked straight in his eyes.

"They would do anything to make you work according to their will, these businessman they're all manipulors."

Jungkook listened to him as he felt like the elder was giving him a precious part of his soul.

"I'm just saying don't let anyone control your life. It's better to get hated and enjoy yourself than be a unsatisfied and please everyone.
Sometimes it's okay to be rebellious." Sehoon stated, the annoyance in his tone didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook.

"Hyung is not a manipulator hoonie, he must-"

"You don't need to depend him everytime, just accept that arrogant man is totally controlling your life."

"He doesn't do that. And don't talk about him like that." Jungkook said, his voice sounded a little louder and harsher than usual.

"I'll talk you later when you'd calm down." Jungkook said instantly getting up from the bench and stomped towards the gate.

"You ruined his mood dumbass." Jimin scolded.

"Why does he gets so defensive over his stupid cousin?" Sehhon shrugged keeping the things in his bag.

It's just Jungkook's parents passed away when he was young and we're never heard from Mr. Kim's parents. They both have no one as real family." Jimin said.

"He's been through a lot and Taehyung was only one with him, they both are their only family." He   got up and started following Jungkook.

"That doesn't gives him the rights to oppress him."

"Hey let's not talk about him and focus on jungkook, yeah?"

Jungkook was taking big steps, intentionally digging his heels a little harder into the ground. He can't stand anyone badmouthing about his Taehyung. He  opened his fist and realised that he was carrying the black lighter with him a little smile spread on his lips for some reason.

He wasn't focused so obviously he bumped on someone. And unfortunately his forehead bumped on the other person's forehead making him hiss.
.

"Ah- I'm sorry. I was not not look-" He tried to apologize but the other person bombarded him with his exclamations.

"Oh, sorry." The person bowed.
"I'm really sorry sunbaenim, I was so focused on the match, I couldn't see you." He said bowing again and again.

"I-I'm alright, It's okay." Jungkook said.

"You're okay?" The boy finally stopped with his hasty movements. Jungkook identified him, he was Yeonjun, Choi Yeonjun, the boy Jiminwas talking about.

"You're sure?" The boy ask again.
"Are they disturbed you?" 

"Who?"

"Those guys." Yeonjun pointed at Jimin and Sehoon who were following him.

"No thanks." Jungkook said and walked towards the exit ignoring the wierd stares he was receiving from Yeonjun.
