Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 40 '✅'

Present time ..

Author POV : 

The air in the apartment was thick with tension. Jungkook's face was red with anger and frustration as he confronted his hyung.

Jungkook: "HYUNG, WHY DID YOU DO THAT? SHE CAME BACK AND I WANT HER!"

Yoongi's face darkened with rage. In one swift movement, he lunged forward and pushed Jungkook against the wall. His hands gripped the younger boy's collar tightly, pinning him there.

Yoongi: "You don't need her, and when I say she is not welcome here, you will follow my words, Jungkook. And don't think for a second to disobey me in this."

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock. He struggled to breathe as Yoongi's grip tightened around his collar. His hands clawed desperately at Yoongi's wrists, but the older boy was much stronger, fueled by a pain none of them fully understood.

Taehyung rushed over, panic written across his face. He grabbed Yoongi's arm, trying to pull him away.

Taehyung: "Hyung, please leave him! You'll hurt him for real!"

Taehyung's pleas seemed to break through Yoongi's rage. With a final burst of anger, Yoongi pushed Jungkook away, sending him crashing to the floor. Jungkook gasped and coughed, desperately trying to fill his lungs with air.

Yoongi stood over them, his chest heaving. His eyes were cold and hard, hiding the storm of emotions behind them.

Yoongi: "I'm warning you all. No one will let her here. I will not repeat my words."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and stormed off to his room. The sound of his door slamming echoed through the house.

Jungkook remained on the floor, tears streaming down his face. His body shook with each sob, his hand still at his throat where Yoongi had grabbed him.

Jungkook: "Hyu... hyung, why is he doing this? My No... Noona is back. I mi... missed her so much. Please hyung, talk to him. He loved her. What happened? Why is he behaving like this? If he doesn't want her anymore, then I am... He can't do this to me."

Taehyung's face softened with compassion. He knelt beside Jungkook and pulled him into a tight hug. Jungkook collapsed against his chest, his tears soaking through Taehyung's shirt.

Taehyung: "Kook... you need to understand. There are a lot of things you don't know. But what I can tell you now is that she hurt him so much... deeper than we can tell .. We can't blame him for his reaction. You know he never tends to hurt you. Try to see his pain."

Jungkook pulled back slightly, his eyes red and puffy from crying. He wiped his nose with the back of his hand.

Jungkook: "But... but she seemed sad too. Why didn't he listen to her? She could explain."

Taehyung's expression hardened slightly. He gripped Jungkook's shoulders, forcing the younger one to look at him.

Taehyung: "Can you just understand him now! One day you will get it. This is not my story to tell. If he is ready, he will share it. You need to stand by his side. Don't betray him."

Jungkook's shoulders slumped in defeat. He knew his hyung would not say more, so he just let himself collapse back into Taehyung's embrace, crying his heart out in his hyung's arms. The weight of the situation crushed down on him, even if he didn't fully understand what had happened between Yoongi and IU.

********

Yoongi's face contorted with rage as he paced across his room.

Yoongi: "She is back. She is fucking back after 5 fucking years, and she has the guts to ask for a talk! What am I to her? A joke? Am I this easy for her?! Leave me when she wants and now coming back like nothing happened! I HATE YOU, YOU FUCKING NARCISSISTIC, SELFISH human! I WILL NOT COME BACK TO YOU EVER! The fucking 'forever and ever' ended when you left this fucking room! I HATE YOU!"
