Shadows of Innocence: Mafia Brothers

Chapter 34: Love Interest

In this chapter, a new character is introduced as a love interest for YN, adding complexity and depth to the story. This new dynamic brings both joy and tension to the family.

In the Mansion's Garden:

The family was enjoying a rare peaceful afternoon in the garden. YN was picking flowers when she noticed a young man entering through the gate. He had a kind smile and a gentle demeanor.

Jungkook, noticing her interest, said, "YN, who is that?"

YN, a bit flustered, replied, "I don't know. I've never seen him before."

The young man approached, introducing himself with a warm smile. "Hi, I'm Minho. I'm new in town and I've been hired to work in the garden. It's nice to meet you."

YN, smiling shyly, said, "Hi, Minho. I'm YN. Welcome."

In the Mansion's Kitchen:

Later that day, YN found herself thinking about Minho as she helped Jin prepare dinner.

Jin, noticing her distracted state, teased, "Someone's got a crush?"

YN blushed, "No, oppa. He's just... different. He seems really nice."

Jin smiled, "It's okay, YN. You deserve to have friends outside of us. Just be careful."

In the Mansion's Garden:

Over the next few days, YN and Minho spent more time together in the garden. They talked about their interests and shared stories from their past.

Minho said, "I've always loved gardening. It's so peaceful and rewarding. What about you, YN? What do you enjoy?"

YN replied, "I love reading and spending time with my brothers. They're very protective, but I know it's because they care."

Minho smiled, "It sounds like you have a wonderful family. You're lucky to have them."

In the Mansion's Living Room:

One evening, the family gathered in the living room. YN seemed happier, and her brothers noticed.

RM asked, "So, who's this Minho guy?"

Jungkook added, "Yeah, we saw you talking to him a lot lately."

YN, a bit nervous, replied, "He's just a friend. He works in the garden, and he's really nice."

Suga, looking serious, said, "We just want to make sure he's trustworthy. We can't take any chances."

J-Hope, trying to lighten the mood, added, "Don't worry, YN. We just want you to be safe and happy."

In the Mansion's Garden:

As YN and Minho's friendship grew, they shared more personal stories. One afternoon, Minho asked YN about her past.

Minho said, "You mentioned your brothers are very protective. Is there a reason for that?"

YN, looking down, replied, "I had a tough childhood. They've always been there for me, protecting me from the world."

Minho, gently, said, "I'm sorry to hear that, YN. You're strong for enduring so much. I'm glad you have your brothers."

YN smiled, "Thank you, Minho. It means a lot to me."

In the Mansion's Training Room:

The brothers continued to train YN, ensuring she could defend herself. They were wary of Minho but saw how happy he made her.

Jimin said, "YN seems happier since Minho arrived."
