47- Threats and Terrors

As soon as Jungkook stepped out of the cell, he saw his lawyer engaged in a phone call. The lawyer, with a look of urgency on his face, spoke into the receiver, "Yes, sir. I've already arranged his bail."

Upon noticing Jungkook, the lawyer attempted to pass the phone to him. "Jungkook, Yoongi wants to talk to you."

Jungkook barely acknowledged the lawyer's presence. His expression was a mixture of frustration and determination as he ignored the offered phone and stormed out of the building. He made a beeline for his jeep, his mind racing with unresolved issues and a growing sense of urgency.

Once in the driver's seat, Jungkook started the engine and sped off. As he navigated through the streets, his phone rang with an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. Without hesitation, he pulled over to the side of the road and answered the call.

On the other end, Joonseo's voice was cold and menacing. "Kim Taehyung. 123 Haneul Avenue, Suite 45. This is his address, isn't it?"

Jungkook's grip tightened around the steering wheel as he listened, his heart pounding with anger and fear. Joonseo continued, his tone dripping with malice. "When I found out he was pregnant, I was as thrilled as if I had received a buy-one-get-one-free offer. Kill one, kill the second one free."

Jungkook's voice was a low growl, filled with deadly intent. "Now, I won't just punish you. I will give you the death you deserve."

Joonseo's laughter crackled through the phone. "Sorry, but the offer to take my life was limited. These stocks were only available for a short time. At that time, you chose to play a game of hide and seek. Now you'll understand what a mistake it was to leave me alive."

Joonseo's tone grew darker. "You want to take my wife and son from me, don't you? Before you can do that, I'll take away your remaining family member."

As the words sunk in, Jungkook's eyes widened in realization. He accelerated the jeep, his thoughts racing as he tried to process the gravity of the threat.

Joonseo's voice continued to taunt him from the phone. "You really like saving people and being a nuisance, don't you? But your talent is peculiar; you can save strangers, but you can't save your own."

Panic set in as Jungkook quickly dialed another number, his hand shaking. The call went unanswered. Desperate, he dialed a different number, hoping for a better outcome.

Mingyu's voice answered, irritated and annoyed. "What now?"

Jungkook's voice was laced with urgency. "Listen, I've sent you the address of Taehyung's father. He knows me. Please, go there and save him. I'll do whatever you need, but you have to go now."

With Mingyu's confirmation, Jungkook ended the call and sped up even more, his heart racing with the fear of what might happen to Taehyung's father. The cityscape blurred past him as he pushed the jeep to its limits, hoping that he wasn't too late to prevent another tragedy.
