Shadows of Destiny: Unveiling Fate's Secrets"?

PART. 30

Long time no see 🫡 so I'm back guys 😊. Enjoy.....

As they walked towards Yn's house, they heard a car horn blaring in the distance. Turning to investigate, they spotted Rosé's brother, Park Jimin, pulling up beside them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Jimin asked, a curious smile on his face.

"We're heading to Yn's house," Rosé explained, gesturing towards their destination.

"Need a ride?" Jimin offered, unlocking the doors of his car.

Yn and her friends exchanged confused glances, except for Rosé, who seemed unfazed by her brother's sudden appearance. After a moment of hesitation, they all agreed and hopped into the car.

As they settled into their seats, Yn couldn't help but notice something off about Jimin's behavior. Despite the unusual circumstances, he didn't seem surprised or shocked to see them, which left Yn feeling uneasy.

As Jimin noticed Yn's stare, he flashed her a playful grin. "Got something on your mind, kiddo?" he teased.

Caught off guard, Yn quickly averted her gaze, cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "N-nothing at all," she stammered, trying to play it off casually.

With a heavy tone, he added, "Beware the shadows; they conceal more than you can imagine." His words hung in the air, sending a shiver down Yn's spine. Jennie and Jisoo exchanged startled glances, but Rosé remained unfazed.

Yn's mind raced with possibilities. Could Jimin know her secret? The thought lingered as they continued their journey.

Jimin spoke in a questioning tone, "You all maybe wondering how I know about shadows?"

Yn hummed in acknowledgment as Jimin parked the car on the side of the road. He began to explain, his voice tinged with gravity, "I'm part of a mafia group, and our enemies are the shadows. Not only you guys, but the entire underground world knows about the abilities you possess." He paused, his gaze flickering to Yn. "But no one knows the identity. I wasn't expecting that person to be you, Yn, but you're lucky. You're someone I'm interested in, so I'll protect you."With a wink directed at Yn, Jimin's expression softened slightly, a hint of reassurance in his eyes.

Ignoring his flirtatious comment, Yn shifted the conversation. "How did the underground people know about my abilities?"

Jimin seemed surprised. "You don't know?"

Yn shook her head in denial, prompting Jimin to continue. "Maybe your brother didn't tell you."

Feeling a pang of betrayal, Yn pressed further. "He told me about my abilities."

Jimin shook his head, his expression solemn. "Not that, but about your parents."

Yn's heart sank at the mention of her parents. "My parents?"

"Yeah, your birth parents," Jimin clarified, but Yn halted him before he could say more.

"I need an explanation from my brother," she declared, her anger simmering beneath the surface.

Jisoo placed a reassuring hand on Yn's shoulder, attempting to calm her anger. Jimin nodded in acknowledgment and headed towards Yn's house.

As the car pulled up to the house, Yn hesitantly stepped out, her heart heavy with the weight of unanswered questions. There, on the doorstep, stood Hoseok, his normally composed demeanor replaced by an unmistakable expression of desperation. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed towards Yn, his arms enveloping her in a tight embrace.

"Yn, where were you?" Hoseok's voice trembled with a mixture of fear and desperation, his eyes searching hers for any sign of reassurance. "I looked everywhere for you. I was so worried. Please, tell me you're okay."

Feeling the intensity of his concern, Yn couldn't help but be moved, yet her own turmoil prevented her from fully reciprocating his embrace. With a heavy heart, she gently disentangled herself from Hoseok's arms,
"Oppa, I'm okay," Yn murmured softly, her voice barely above a whisper as she tried to reassure him. "I just needed some time alone." avoiding his gaze as she made her way into the house, leaving him standing on the doorstep, his worry palpable in the air.

As Yn disappeared into the house, Hoseok's eyes shifted to Jimin, his expression a mix of surprise and suspicion. "You? What are you doing here?" he questioned, his tone laced with a hint of sternness.

Jimin merely chuckled in response, his playful demeanor contrasting with Hoseok's seriousness. "After helping your sister, this is what you've got to say, huh?" he quipped, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Hoseok rolled his eyes at Jimin's remark, his concern for Yn still lingering in his mind. Without another word, he turned and made his way inside the house, leaving Jimin standing outside, a smirk playing on his lips.
