Time's embrace: Hides, hurts, heals (BTSXreader)

Chapter 23

You were trying to focus on the work when you heard the door open, you thought that it is Seokjin as usual with your Lunch. You heard him sit beside you on a chair and felt the warm spoonful near your mouth, you looked in the direction and saw Jungkook. Yes it was not Seokjin but Jungkook feeding you with lunch, you turned away from him and acted to focus on your work clearly  ignoring him.

"Y/n, please just give me a chance to explain!" Jungkook said, you kept silence.

Jungkook began without waiting for you "Y/n, you know your parents were not actually criminals, in fact your father was one of the Korea's most successful CEOs. His company Euphoria Enterprises was growing larger day by day. But everyone wasn't pleased by his success, his business rivals were jealous, they wanted to pull him down, by hook or by crook, they began giving him death threats and even worse."

Jungkook's words began influencing you and you turned to his side to listen to the story with a bit interest.

"Your father was truly a great personality, if you don't trust me then look out in the city, more than half of the city is influenced by your father's deeds directly or indirectly, look at the Hospitals, schools, orphanages made by your father. Thousands of employees working at your father's company, the company is the only mean for their survival, if the company suffers any loss, they will suffer, your father wanted to save the company, not for himself but for the thousands of employees working there." Jungkook explained.

"Why didn't he seek help from government authorities?" you asked.

Jungkook laughed bitterly "government authorities? They were already bribed by the business rivals of your father. If there were few trustworthy officers, they either get fired or transferred to a department where they are not even needed."

"Then what appa did?" you asked curiously.

"He fought, he tried to save his company, he did everything he could but his rivals were not only CEOs of some small companies or even some of his own employees betraying him, I am talking about Daniel, they were also criminals, they had their underworld connections, they threatened him to kill the people he loved the most, his family, Your mother, Moobin and even you"

"Then what happened?" your curiosity increased by every word Jungkook told you.

"He was somehow trying to escape this maze of rivalry when one day, one of his business rivals killed Moobin" your heart missed a beat at Jungkook's words.

"Th..They killed Moobin oppa? Wait no, I was told he has died due to some kind of deadly disease" you protested, a mix of shock and grief washed over you, leaving you numb.

"And you think it is a truth?" Jungkook retorted "Did you ever heard before that he is suffering some disease or anything? Suddenly a disease came and your brother died? Things don't work this way y/n! I saw him dying right in front of my eyes hit by bullet shot, we were best friends, while dying he asked me to protect you till my last breath, and I promised him that I will protect you like my own sister, even at cost of my own life" Jungkook's eyes filled with tears, remembering about Moobin. A teardrop escaped your eyes.

"Then what happened?" you asked, your voice trembling with curiosity and fear.

"Your father was shaken by the incident, now the war was not about saving the company, now it became personal. Seeking no other option, he finally entered the crime world, when I am saying this I am not talking about as if real crime or hurting anyone, but like keeping guns and armed guards to protect you and your family, to kill anyone on the spot who tries to hurt his family and then removing the after traces and this way, eventually he stepped into this Mafia world."

"But... How he got the title of "Mafia king"?" You asked curiously.

"Good question! y/n, your father was intelligent, truly a legend. If he is in any field, the way to the top automatically gets created for him. He don't need to put any extra efforts, he just makes his way to the top." Jungkook complimented "And you have also inherited his intelligence, though your field is different, the direction of your thinking is different, but I can see the insights of his intelligence in you"

"How you came to know this much? How you came to this crime world? How you know about my family more than me?" you asked.

"My father was your father's right hand, his partner, his friend, his PA, his supporter in both business and underworld matters. When Moobin died right in front of my eyes, I asked my father about this, firstly he tried to hide but my curiosity kept increasing, I did background research, I tried to find out what actually happened, but I couldn't find even a single trace. I knew everything about you, we studied in the same school, I kept an eye on you every time as I promised to Moobin, but I never tried to ask you because I knew you were even naïve and unknowing than me and you couldn't help me with anything" Jungkook told you "Finally when I was in my medical final year, my father decided to tell me everything as I was his only son and only one to inherit his duties towards your family, that time I got exposure to the underworld, I found this field quite adventurous and interesting, secondly I really wanted to keep my promise with Moobin, so I didn't refused." Jungkook completed.

"You could've told this to me. Why did you hide this from me? It feels like everyone else knows more about my life than I do. I know nothing about my parents, nothing about my family... nothing!" you suddenly burst into tears. Seokjin came and hugged you, and you buried your face in his broad chest. After crying for a couple of minutes, you separated yourself from Jin and continued with Jungkook, wiping your eyes.

"So! How you made a way to my house, how you came to know about this time travel thing?" you asked him.

"I was keeping an eye on you since so long, I knew each and everything about you and your research. I was just finding a way to reach you out, to befriend you so that I can protect you being near you. And when I came to know that there are six boys in your house, it was really a huge threat to your security, I instantly researched about all this and since Namjoon and Hoseok are both famous personalities in their own way, it was not hard to find their faces on internet, I understood the presence of all seven of them is a part of your experiment, before you could wake up, I made up plan and joined them and that's how I'm here!" Jungkook completed, but your brain was still processing things. 

"So now I guess my parents also didn't died due to car accident is it?" you guessed.

"Exactly! It was not a car accident it was a well planned murder, I know who is behind all this, it is..." before Jungkook could complete, a sharp sound of bullet shot echoed in the room...
