[2] FATED TO YOU

Chapter 260 - Why Did The Ancestral Hall Collapse

Jeon Jungkook said nothing, just looked at her with a calm expression. Seeing her serious eyes and expression, he couldn't hold back a smile. "Explain what?"

"Do you want me to be clearer?" Jeon Rose looked at him coldly.

Jeon Jungkook got up and took the banana from the fruit basket. He peeled the skin and patiently gave it to her. "Why don't you drink this chicken soup? Is it because you have no appetite? Why don't you eat this fruit first while I go out to buy light fried rice and vegetables for you?"

Jeon Rose just looked at him. When she saw his indifference, she didn't force him anymore. She took the banana but didn't eat it. She just held it in her hand and sat on the bed, thinking.

Actually, there were many things that she would rather have guessed wrongly or thought wrongly. From her point of view, at least, she didn't want any of this to have anything to do with Jeon Jungkook.

Jeon Rose preferred to believe that Jeon Jungkook will forever be the brother she once trusted, a child who was clean, pure, kind, and bright. Until now, she preferred him to be a modest and frank man, with not much revenge hidden in the depths of his heart. She hoped that he had absolutely nothing to do with the incident at the ancestral hall that night.

Jeon Rose lowered her head and didn't look at the smile on his face. She immediately vented her anger on the banana by biting it hard. However, Jeon Jungkook suddenly pulled the banana from her hand.

She looked at him in surprise, only to hear Jeon Jungkook say while eating her banana. "I almost forgot, you just woke up. Eating bananas on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach. Why don't you drink the chicken soup first?"

Jeon Rosr's attention was successfully distracted by him, but in her heart, she was furious.

This damned brat!

"This bottle of medicine is almost done. I'll go get a nurse." Jeon Rosè was very familiar with her personality. He knew that Jeon Rose was scolding him in her heart, so he took the opportunity to leave the ward with a smile on his face.

Jeon Rose could only sit on the bed and gritted her teeth while watching him leave the room.

After a while, the nurse came in and changed the medicine bottle. Meanwhile, Jeon Jungkook held the medical alcohol wool on the back of Jeon Rose's hand for about a minute before he glanced at her and said, "You don't have to be so attentive to me. No one knows you better than me in this world."

Jeon Rose pushed him as hard as she could. However, since she had just woken up and had not eaten, she didn't have much strength to push him away, "Release me now. You don't need to press it anymore!"

"You think you know me very well?" Jeon Jungkook didn't move, still pressing the back of her hand. He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice that only she could hear.

Jeon Rose was stunned as she looked at the side of his face. His face was similar to Park Jimin's, but she could clearly tell that they were completely different.

Jeon Jungkook slowly raised his eyes and looked at her calmly. He immediately released her hand and retreated a few steps back, but his gaze was still glued to her face.

Jeon Rose looked at his eyes and gradually found it hard to believe. "You ..."

Jeon Jungkook suddenly smiled, as if he wasn't the one looking at her with that solemn gaze from before. He raised his hand to caress her arm, "Don't let your thoughts go wild. Women who think too much will grow old quickly!"

"This chicken soup is a bit cold. I'll ask the cafeteria staff to heat it up before you eat it." With that, he took the thermos on the table and left the ward again.

"Why did the ancestral hall collapse?" As he was about to leave the ward, Jeon Rose suddenly spoke up.

Jeon Jungkook's footsteps suddenly froze.

Jeon Rosè's eyes gradually became misty as she stared at the man she once relied on to support her life, the brother she wanted to protect for her whole life. Her eyes were glued to his stiff back.

"Say it! Jeon Jungkook, why did the ancestral hall collapse! Dad and grandpa said that more than a week ago, there was only a small gap in the roof of the ancestral hall. So, how can that solid wall mysteriously collapse?"

Jeon Jungkook was silent, not saying anything, but his grip on the thermos tightened.

Jeon Rose bit her lip and said, "Now, only you and I are here, I need your explanation! Tell me clearly! Why did the ancestral hall collapse? Why were you there? If I were not about to die and almost buried, you wouldn't save me right?"

"Jeon Jungkook , tell me, why were you there? Since you wanted revenge, why don't you bury me too and let me die with you! Anyway, I am now also part of the Park Family, and one of the people you hated!"

Seeing that he was not moving, Jeon Rose became furious. She suddenly lifted the white blanket from her body and got out of bed. However, as she took two steps from the bed, her legs became soft due to a lack of strength.

Hearing the sound behind him, Jeon Jungkook turned around and saw Jeon Rosè holding the bed iron. He hurriedly walked towards her. "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to move? Go back to bed."

Jeon Rose seized the opportunity to grab his wrist. She looked at him with her bloodshot eyes. "Later on when you went to save the Old Man, mom and dad were already there. The Old Man couldn't think too much about it, you are his biological grandson after all. He will not think that you have anything to do with the collapse of the ancestral hall. Mom and dad just saw you carried me out but they didn't know what was going on, but I did! Even though I was knocked unconscious, my consciousness was still very clear!"

Jeon Jungkook didn't shake off her hand. He only held her, but the hand on her shoulder became tighter and tighter.

"Why?" Seeing him silent, Jeon Rose suddenly felt sad because she knew he didn't want to lie to her. The coldness in her eyes gradually melted, leaving only disbelief in her voice, "Jungkook , why did you do that?"

Jeon Jungkook pursed his lips. He suddenly picked her up by the waist and placed her on the bed gently without saying anything.

After covering her once again with the blanket, he smiled and said, "If I can answer everything with a few words and reasons, then the world will no longer be the same. There are many reasons that cannot be explained."

"You!" Jeon Rose was about to get up, but Jeon Jungkook pushed her down.

"Rest well, I will bring this chicken soup to the hospital cafeteria. After that, I will ask Ha Jiwon to get it. I will not bother you again." He walked out of the room without looking back.

"Jungkook! Jeon Jungkook! Stop right there!"

It was clear that he didn't want Jeon Rosè to be involved in this matter. However, this made her heart ache. Her once brother had become a completely different person. He no longer was the Jeon Jungkook she knew back then.

What did Jeon Jungkook want to do? What had he got to do with the collapse of the ancestral hall? Why didn't he explain to her!

Jeon Rosè thought that Jeon Jungkook's return to the Park Family was a good thing for him. She thought that he wanted to get to know his ancestors and that he will gradually get used to living in the Park Family. Jeon Rose naively thought, gradually, everything will be better.

Was it because she thought things were too simple and fate decided to prove it wrong to her?

But she didn't want to believe that Jeon Jungkook, who had grown up so well in front of her, had become someone else.
