Chapter 24: interruption in Sex Call

Vanilla POV:

"So, there's a girl?" I questioned, scanning over Jin Young as he smiled down at his phone. Not even bothering to glance back at me, he shoved his phone in his pocket and avoided my question. "Oh, c'mon. You know about my secret love affair, am I not entitled to know yours?"

"No, you're not." He stared ahead at the large theatre screen.

"Ah, but there is a love affair!" he said and I giggled, clapping my hands together excitedly. Jin Young sighed heavily, running his fingers through his hair. Glancing around at the empty theatre, he leaned in slightly to whisper.

"There's a girl back home, yes, but she's been my best friend for years and I've kept my feelings to myself. She doesn't know anything about the business or the family and I intend on keeping her out of it." He gave a slight shrug as if the entire situation was fine. I gaped at him, and despite his cool outward demeanour, I knew keeping this a secret bothered him.

"She has no idea you like her?" I questioned softly, trying to get more information.

"No idea," He nodded, "I've been in love with her since middle school, but even then, I knew it would never work out. I would never want to push her into this life, I mean, I'm a trained assassin and don't make an honest living, but here I am at twenty-five years old with millions in my bank account that I can't justify having. It kills me to see her dating, to see her live her life thinking of me as her friend. But it is what it is."

"It doesn't have to be that way-" I tried to amend, but Jin sent me a look of warning and I deflated against the back of my seat. It had been over a month since I had reconnected with Jungkook over the phone and started 'publicly dating' Jin. We had gone to the aquarium, a retro- arcade, out for a winter walk in Central Park, coffee at a small cafe in The Village, and for a ferry ride upstate. All of our dates were highly publicized due to my father's laundered business as a big-time CEO and president of Min Construction. An outsider's perspective on my father was one of rags-to-riches, as my father came to the United States as an immigrant from Ireland at the tender age of seventeen. Finding the love of his life and starting a family, my father built Min Construction from the ground up, earning me the title of heiress to a large inheritance. What outsiders didn't know was that the company was actually built with dirty money laundered from my father's underground business of assassinations, drugs, illegal weapons, and so much more. I could understand why Jin didn't want his secret love to stay away from this life, you lived a lot longer if you lived mundanely. After the movie had finished, Jin Young linked arms with me and ushered me out of the theatre. Our fathers waited just outside the doors, large smiles on their faces.
