16- The Weight of Grief

The words echoed in Jungkook’s mind, memories of promises made and vengeance vowed. Now, the person who had been the center of his world lay six feet below the ground, and Jungkook struggled to process the reality of the situation. The grief and shock left him feeling numb, unable to fully grasp the depth of his loss.

As he looked around, his gaze settled on Thomas, who was standing nearby, tears streaming down his face. Thomas was not alone; there were many others present who had been touched by Taehyung’s kindness and support. Each one of them was mourning the loss, their sorrow a testament to the impact Taehyung had made in their lives. The scene was a poignant reminder of the void left by Taehyung’s absence and the collective grief of those who had come to honor him.

Jungkook felt a hand rest heavily on his shoulder, and he turned to see Mingyu standing beside him. Mingyu’s expression was solemn but carried an edge of something darker.

“You’ve really been through a lot, haven’t you?” Mingyu said, his voice carrying an unsettling tone. “But when you make a deal with a demon, you should expect that demon to come knocking on your door eventually.”

Mingyu’s gaze sharpened as he continued, “Your Yoongi—he’s the one who killed your lover.”

Jungkook’s eyes locked onto Mingyu’s, a fierce glare reflecting his anger and pain. Mingyu met his gaze with a cold, detached amusement.

“So, what are you going to do now?” Mingyu taunted. “Are you going to kill him?”

Mingyu let out a laugh that held no warmth. “I don’t think you have it in you to do anything about it. So don’t worry.”

With a final, dismissive glance, Mingyu added, “I’ll take care of it for you. I’ll find him and handle it. You don’t need to worry.”

And with that, Mingyu turned and walked away, leaving Jungkook to grapple with his words and the unsettling promise of retribution.
