Not Yours || Jungkook FF || Mafia×Reader

Jeon Jeongsik's expressions took a great shift from confusion to horror to indecision.

"Is this true?" His eyes were still glued to the photograph in his hands that Seokjin gave him almost half an hour ago.

"Yes sir." He answered in a monotone voice. "Min Yoongi visited The Sheol yesterday. Seems like it was his third visit in this month." Jeongsik's head immediately jerked up on the mention of the name. "He didn't do anything suspicious though. Turns out he was just here to look for her. "

After a moment of silence Jeongsik took a deep breath. "Does Jungkook know any of this?" A moment of silence on Seokjin's side this time.

"No. He has been busy with the Russian deal for the past month. Turns out the Parks are involved there too." A big frustrated sigh of the older man filled the room. The silence in the room was a killer in itself. Seokjin couldn't take it more. So, he finally decided to speak up.

"Should I bring her out?"

"And awaken the Beast?" After so many years, Seokjin saw the eyes of the greatest mafia leader of his own times. "How do you think Jungkook is going to react when the only hostess for his show is going to be dragged out moments before he can start?" A great silence followed his words. "And what are you planning to tell him once you do so? Don't tell me you are thinking of telling him the truth?" Seokjin lowered his gaze to his feet. That was the last thing he would do. Revealing Y/n's identity to Jeongsik was a nerve-wracking job in itself. He didn't want to go through the trouble to bring it in front of Jungkook too.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Jeongsik took another photograph from the pile of photographs on the table. This time an evil smirk plastered across his lips. "Let her enjoy the show."

Seokjin couldn't decipher the meaning hidden behind those words. So Jeongsik cleared it for him.

"Let's see how she handles it. Running away from one devil, just to fall right in the arms of another." His grin widened on the implications of his own words as he examined the photograph of Y/n smiling widely with Park Jimin on her side. The man in the photograph was looking at her with a smile of his own. Jeongsik wondered how he didn't know that Jimin was capable of smiling. But then again, he also didn't know that Jimin was capable of love too. Or else why would he look at her with so much love in his eyes that even the photograph captured it so beautifully.

As Seokjin and Jeongsik planned their next moves, Y/n was getting ready for the moment of truth on the other side of the club.

Jeon Jungkook. He is one of the men you need to avoid. No matter what happens, you are never to be seen anywhere near him. Jimin's words echoed in her ears as she stood before the black gates holding a red rose in her hands. There still was a chance, she can run away. Take Aera with her and run farther before anyone could get to her. Maybe she will fly to a different country this time. Then what stopped her? Indeed the lives of the people who welcomed her here. If she runs away now, then she would be putting three more lives in danger. Yuri, Hyunwoo and Miss Han. Right now she just needs to hide from the Parks but if she runs now, she might have to spend the rest of her life hiding from the Jeons too. She could do it. She can avoid the two. But what about Aera. That little girl doesn't need to suffer the consequences of Y/n's actions.

She lowered her gaze to her perfectly manicured hands. All her nails were painted red except for the little finger on her right hand. It was painted a light shade of pink. Last night Aera sneaked the nail-paint bottle in her pocket and painted it when Y/n wasn't looking. Later she made Y/n promise that she will visit her before the paint wears off. Y/n took a deep breath. She needs to do this for Aera's sake. She will get through it. All she needs to do is avoid much contact with Jungkook and silently overlook the whole meeting.
