Jungkook woke up to the incessant ringing of his phone. He groaned in pain as the pounding headache from his excessive drinking the night before hit him with full force. With bleary eyes, he reached for his phone and answered the call.

"Hello," he croaked, his voice hoarse and weary.

"Are you fine, Jungkook? Your voice sounds terrible. I told you not to think about her," his father said, concern lacing his words. Jungkook had called his father the previous night, pouring out his heart about seeing Yn again and the shock of discovering that he had a child.

"Appa, my child... I'm a father, and I wasn't there for him or for her when they needed me. It's all because of Jen!" Jungkook's voice cracked with anguish, the weight of his regrets pressing heavily on him.

"Jungkook, come back here now. Don't stay in India. Come back home," his father urged, his tone firm yet compassionate.

"No, Dad, I won't. Not until I make things right and claim what is mine," Jungkook insisted, his resolve hardening despite his emotional turmoil.

"Jungkook—" his father began, but Jungkook cut him off, ending the call abruptly.

He grabbed his hair in frustration, his mind a whirlwind of guilt and determination. The realization that he had a son, that he had missed out on being there for Yn and Dyan, tore at him. Memories of Jen and the events that led to his separation from Yn only fueled his anger and remorse.

He couldn't turn back time, but he was resolute in his decision to stay in India and fight for his family. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, but Jungkook was determined to face them head-on, no matter the cost.

As Yn gazed steadily at her father, her words hung heavy in the air, laden with the weight of their shared past. "But you said you  kill the other three men involved in...in what happened to me. And those five men's cases are still unresolved. I remember that time vividly, when the police didn't suspect me for David and Kai's deaths because you were there to protect me."

Mr. Lee's expression softened, a mix of pride and regret flickering in his eyes. "Yes, I had wanted to take justice into my own hands, especially when I remembered how David had dared to lay a hand on your mother right in front of me. When we encountered him at that party, I initially intended to confront him in a safer environment. But you acted swiftly, and in your own way, you ended him. I was angry then, furious that I wasn't the one to punish him for his actions against you and your mother. But looking back, I'm proud of what you did. Still, I couldn't shake the fear of seeing you end up behind bars for your actions."

Yn nodded, understanding her father's concern. "I know, Appa. But as for killing Kai... Jungkook—I mean, he helped me, but I still don't understand why—"

"Don't think about that bastrad ," Mr. Lee interjected firmly. "I didn't kill him because he aided you in dealing with Kai and David."

" David? I was the one who killed him, not Jungk-- he," Yn clarified, a puzzled furrow creasing her brow.

"Yes, you did, but he delivered the final blow as per my research." Mr. Lee explained, his tone tinged with regret.

Yn's mind raced, recalling the details of the incident. "I remember the reports mentioned a severe head injury sustained by David, and he said that he witnessing the entire ordeal."

Yn's voice trembled with apprehension as she pressed her father for answers about the mysterious caller. Mr. Lee's brows furrowed in deep thought, his mind grappling with the implications of the ominous threat they had just received. " who was that person appa?"

As the weight of the situation settled over them, Mr. Lee's resolve hardened. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice tinged with frustration. "But something doesn't sit right. Whoever they are, they're playing a dangerous game."

Yn nodded, her expression mirroring her father's determination. "We need to find out who he is and why that unknow called person targeting us," she said firmly. "If he connected to the past, we can't afford to ignore him."

Mr. Lee's jaw clenched at the thought of their unresolved past coming back to haunt them once more. "I'll leave no stone unturned," he vowed, his eyes flashing with steely resolve. "If he is responsible for what happened before, he will answer to me."

Before Yn could respond, the shrill sound of the doorbell pierced the air, jolting them both from their conversation. 

Mr. Lee's  rose from the sofa, as he open the door  "Why the hell are you here, you bastard?!" he roared, his voice echoing through the room with palpable rage.

Yn's heart pounded in her chest as she watched her father approach the door, her mind racing with apprehension at the unexpected visitor. 

The door swung open, revealing a figure standing on the threshold. Yn's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the familiar face of Jungkook, his presence igniting a surge of conflicting emotions within her.

Jungkook's expression remained unreadable as he met Mr. Lee's furious gaze head-on. "I need to talk to you," he said evenly, his voice devoid of emotion.

Mr. Lee's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides. "I have nothing to say to you. Leave. Now," he spat, his voice dripping with disdain.

But Jungkook stood his ground, unfazed by Mr. Lee's hostility. "It's about Yn. And Dyan," he added, his words hanging heavy in the tense silence that followed.

Yn watched the exchange unfold, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that Jungkook's sudden appearance could only mean trouble, yet a part of her couldn't help but feel a flicker of curiosity at what he had to say.

Mr. Lee's gaze bore into Jungkook's, his expression a mask of defiance. "Whatever it is, we have nothing to discuss. Leave before I make you regret ever setting foot here," he warned, his voice low and dangerous.

But Jungkook remained unmoved, his resolve unshaken. 

"I won't leave until you hear me out," 

he said firmly, his eyes meeting Mr. Lee's with unwavering determination.

"please, give me chance to explain"
