Jungkook sat in the serene comfort of his office, a space typically reserved for strategic decisions and unwavering leadership, now clouded by the unexpected visit of Park Ji Woon. Despite his efforts to maintain a façade of normalcy, Jungkook couldn't shake off the weight of Ji Woon's departure. The man's final words hung in the air, a tantalizing puzzle piece that refused to fit into Jungkook's understanding.
"Consider what I've said, Jungkook," Ji Woon had remarked, his voice carrying implications that sent shivers down Jungkook's spine. The statement echoed in his thoughts throughout the day, distracting him and leaving him unsettled.
Amidst this turmoil, Jungkook suddenly realized with a pang of guilt that he had forgotten to inquire about Jimin's health. The urgency of Ji Woon's visit had overshadowed even his concern for Jimin.
Restlessly tapping his fingers on the polished desk, Jungkook sifted through the documents before him, his mind racing with questions about Ji Woon's insinuations and the potential consequences they might hold. He glanced at his phone several times, torn between his longing to reach out to Jimin and his pressing need to uncover the truth behind Ji Woon's unsettling message.
The office buzzed with its usual efficiency, employees moving about with purpose, yet Jungkook felt detached from it all. His sole focus was on deciphering the mystery of Ji Woon's visit and the disquieting news he had received.
As the day wore on, Jungkook's nerves frayed, fueled by the uncertainty of what he had heard and the fear of how it might impact both his personal life with Jimin and his professional responsibilities. He yearned for clarity, for the key that would unlock the truth behind Ji Woon's cryptic words that had left him unsettled and unable to concentrate on anything else.
With the office gradually emptying as evening descended, Jungkook remained seated at his desk, wrestling with his conflicting emotions and the urgent need to unravel the truth. Sweat prickled on his brow as he pondered the implications of Ji Woon's visit, his heart heavy with concern for Jimin and the implications of what he had heard.
As he pondered how to unravel these mysteries, Jungkook's thoughts turned to Mr. Lee, the company's most trusted and experienced employee. Over the years, Mr. Lee had not only earned Jungkook's respect but also a reputation for discretion and wisdom. If anyone could help him navigate the complexities of his family's hidden past, it was Mr. Lee.
With resolve, Jungkook picked up the phone and dialed Mr. Lee's extension. Each ring seemed to echo the urgency of his thoughts, until finally, Mr. Lee answered in his usual calm tone. "Hello, Jungkook. How can I assist you today?"
"Mr. Lee," Jungkook began, his voice steady but tinged with urgency, "I need to speak with you in my office. It's about something... personal."
There was a moment of hesitation on Mr. Lee's end, a subtle pause that spoke volumes. "Of course, Jungkook," Mr. Lee replied, his tone reflecting a mix of curiosity and concern. "I'll be right there."
True to his word, Mr. Lee arrived promptly at Jungkook's office door. He entered quietly, his expression serious as he took a seat opposite Jungkook's desk. The atmosphere was charged with unspoken tension, both men aware that they were about to delve into matters beyond the company and finance.
"Mr. Lee," Jungkook began, his voice betraying the turmoil within him, "have you ever heard anything about my eomma having a brother named Kang Min Soo?"
After hearing Jungkook mention Kang Min Soo, Mr. Lee's demeanor shifted noticeably. His brows furrowed, and there was a weighted silence before he finally spoke.
"Jungkook," Mr. Lee began slowly, his voice laced with solemnity, "I don't know how you managed to know about him, but yes, I do know him."
Jungkook leaned forward, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. The room felt charged with unspoken tension as he waited for Mr. Lee to elaborate.
