The Bangtan Wall

Jungshook!

'Why is he looking at me?'  Jungkook looks at the others, who are now looking at him, too. He shrugs his shoulders, letting them know he has no clue why Jackson is looking at him.

Jackson has already turned back to you. He smiles sweetly, "Come, little cousin, I have something for you." He takes a few steps from the table and waits for you.

You look at Jimin, and he nods, "Go ahead, love."

You walk up to Jackson, stand before him, and return his smile.

He reaches into his upper suit coat pocket, and every member of the Bangtan Wall sits forward, hands already reaching inside their coats towards their gun holsters.

Jackson notices and shakes his head, frowning. "I told you I am unarmed, and I have no intentions of hurting her." The tension in the room drops.

He pulls out a folded 8x10 manila envelope and hands it to you. Jimin comes to stand by you, "Baby, do you want me to check . . . ?" he starts to reach for the envelope, and you place your hand gently on top of his to stop him.

You hesitantly take the envelope and stare at it. 

Jackson softly chuckles, "Open it."

You do and step back, shocked at what you see. Jimin puts his arm around you, steadying you.

Jackson smiles, "As the eldest, it's your share of the business that your father should have given you. It's deeds to several estates, titles to many cars, and control of several companies. All the companies are legit. I made sure of that." 

You stare at your cousin, stunned. Other than the deeds and titles, you don't think you have ever seen so much money as you stare at a check made out to you.

He says, "All of his fake companies are no longer in existence. All his money laundering facilities are destroyed, and the government has seized his multiple fraudulent bank accounts."

You stare at him in complete amazement. Jimin and the others are in shock, too.

"Cousin. . ." you say as you turn to Jimin taking hold of his arm and pulling him close. "I have everything I need right here," you say as you smile at Jackson.

Jackson grins as Jimin kisses you, "I can see that, but this is yours as the eldest of his offspring. Despite what your father wanted, I divided everything between you, your sister, and Jungkook."

Jungkook suddenly stands up in shock, doe-eyed. Jin nudges him to sit back down, which he quickly does. 

Taehyung looks at him and says, "What the hell?" All Jungkook can do is shrug his shoulders and say, "I don't know."

Quickly on the defensive to protect the Maknae and Sora, RM asks, "Jackson, don't you think this is better discussed privately?"

Ignoring RM, Jackson looks past the others to Jungkook, "Jungkook, this is yours."

He holds a similar envelope out to Jungkook. Jungkook looks to his leader for guidance. RM nods to him and resignedly says, "Go ahead."

 Slowly, with trepidation, he approaches Jackson and stands beside you. Nervous, he takes hold of your hand, and you give him a little squeeze of reassurance.

Sora knows what is coming, and she leans closer to RM. He holds her close in his arms. He whispers, "Do you want me to send the others out of the room?"

 She shakes her head and whispers, "No."

Everyone is watching Jungkook as he opens the envelope Jackson gave him. He looks up at Jackson, confusion clearly showing on his face. He pulls out several deeds, vehicle titles, and a check made out to him—his doe eyes round in astonishment at all the zeros behind the 5.

"I don't understand." Hoping for clarity, he looks at you, "Noona?"

You answer him, "I don't know Kooki."

Jackson continues, "I've already notified your sister and sent her what is her share. Your father's syndicate, as you know it, no longer exists. Everything that was legally acquired over the years now belongs to you, your sister, and your brother."

Jungkook says, "But I'm not . . ." Jackson interrupts him.

"Let me explain . . ." He looks at Sora to see if she approves of what he is about to say, and she nods her permission. 

Jackson waves for them to sit, "You may want to sit for this."

Jimin sits beside you, holding your hand, and Jungkook holds your other hand. Sora comes and sits at the same table, followed closely by RM. 

The others are stunned into silence as they wait to hear what is about to be revealed.

Yoongi mumbles in astonishment under his breath. He has already figured it out, "Holy shit." 

Jin elbows him, "Shh!" Yoongi elbows him back, and they remain silent.

Jackson pulls up a chair in front of them and looks down at his hands clasped together in his lap before looking back up.

"Lorrie, your father was obsessed with having a male heir, and since your mother only produced daughters, well, where your mother failed, he started looking elsewhere."
