Chapter 108
A glimmer of light not too far away suddenly grabbed Taehyung's attention.
He held up his phone and aimed the light in the direction of the glimmer.
At the bottom of the sprawling ravine was the clear silhouette of a man lying on the ground.
"Jungkook!"
Taehyung let out a shrill cry before he got down on all fours and crawled toward the ravine.
"I'm coming, Jungkook! Don't be scared! You'll be fine... You'll be okay!"
Hearing his cries, the bodyguard yelled down the hill, "Did you find him?!"
"Yes! He fell! He's covered in blood!" Taehyung yelled as he tried to contain his emotions. "Get over here!"
He took a deep breath and jumped down to where Jungkook was.
His foot slipped upon the sudden impact, which caused him to draw a sharp breath of pain.
He swiped the tears off his face and quickly scrambled to where Jungkook was and took him into his arms.
"Jungkook! Wake up! Don't fall asleep! Stay awake!"
His cheeks were cold to the touch. Blew his warm air onto his face.
There was no signal up on the hill.
There was no way for them to call for help.
While Jungkook's bodyguard carried him on his back down the hill, Taehyung trailed along behind them, using a branch for support. Tears streamed down his face.
How did this happen?
Who was the one who told Jungkook he was on the hill?
This was attempted murder!
If Jungkook had fallen into a deeper ravine, and if nobody had been able to find him, he would have frozen to death within twenty-four hours!
Hot tears streamed down Taehyung's face when he thought of Jungkook's close brush with death. He had been the reason he had gone up there in the first place.
After Jungkook was rescued, two of the Jung family's bodyguards walked into Gof's room at the villa.
"We were waiting at the top of the hill for him the whole time, but he fell over before he even got to us!" reported one of the guards.
Gof slammed his clenched fist on the table, then snapped, "What a weakling! He couldn't even climb up a d*mn hill! Why didn't he just fall to death?!"
"He got lucky! We took a look at where he fell. It was a pretty big ravine. Nobody would have found him if it was a narrow one!"
Gof rubbed the space between his brows, then growled, "Nothing that happened tonight leaves this room! Get out!"
After the guards left, Gof walked out of the room.
He got out the key to Joey's room and opened the door.
Joey's bloodshot eyes were filled with deep loathing.
"You killed him, didn't you? Was this what you meant by setting me free?! Didn't it occur to you that I'd gladly die with him?!"
Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she was holding a knife in her hand.
She was trembling uncontrollably.
If Gof told her that Jungkook was dead, she might just stab herself in the chest with that knife.
"He's a lucky man. He isn't dead, but I might just be," Gof said as his expression turned dark. "He'll come after me when he wakes up. You should leave the house, Joey!"
The knife in Joey's hand clattered on the ground.
"Why did you have to go this far? Listen up, Gof. Whenever you're up against Jeon Jungkook, you will lose every single time.Why don't you just accept your fate?"
Joey smirked coldly, then picked up her bag and stormed out of the room.
A week later, Kim Industries officially announced its bankruptcy and began its liquidation proceedings.
Since Taehyung had never accepted his father's testamentary succession, Hyungsik's debt had nothing to do with him.
On the day the news broke, Taehyung had received a text message from Minhae. [You're going to hell for this!) He turned his phone off after reading it.
There were limits to how much he could handle.
He did not have the time nor the energy to care about insignificant matters.
Jungkook's legs were severely injured.
He would be wheelchair-bound again once he was discharged from the hospital.
Taehyung never once visited him.
It was not that he did not want to, but he could not.
The Jeon family's bodyguards were constantly stationed in front of his hospital room's door, and they did not allow a soul to enter.
He could only receive news of his condition from Mrs. Min, who told him that Jungkook's mood took a turn for the worse when he regained consciousness.
He refused to speak and did not want to be disturbed.
All Taehyung could do was wait. He was waiting for him to be willing to see him.
