Black Heart's

[ 29 ]

Y/N sat beside her dad at the back seat, looking outside the window and watching the buildings passing by.

Her eyes were slight red and puffy indicating that how she passed the night doing nothing but crying. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to let her shoulders feel a little less heavy before opening her eyes again.

She could feel Jungkook's gaze from the rear mirror as she tried to not look at him. She knew she would give away all her emotions if she looked into his eyes.

"Mother was happy to have you. We should go sometime together." Mr. Byun suggested as his voice made her turned her head to him.

Y/N gave her father small smile as she looked down at her hands.
"We should." She spoke and relaxed against the seat, letting her head rest against the window as her gaze, unknowingly, went to him in the rear mirror.

Her heart almost skipped a beat as she found his gaze on her. Jungkook wanted to watch her but couldn't as he focused his gaze back on the road to not cause any accident. There was so much he wanted to say, there was so much she wanted to hear but they couldn't. They couldn't get the courage and had energy to have a talk.

It was not immature as they both wanted some space to sort out their thoughts, one wanting to prepare himself to tell and the other preparing herself to hear unexpected things. It felt so heavy on their shoulders.

"You have done a good job, guarding my daughter, Jungkook." Mr. Byun praised as Jungkook nodded and smiled.

"Not a problem, Sir." He stated when Mr. Byun looked at him.

"Good. Well, you don't have to guard her and be her driver anymore. You will start your regular duties from tomorrow." He stated making Y/N to turn her head towards her dad and Jungkook to look at his boss.

"What do you mean dad?" She asked.

Mr. Byun smiled and took her hand in his as he looked at her daughter. "I have a surprise for you. And besides, Jungkook is not your permanent driver. It was obvious, wasn't it?" He raised his brow at her daughter and then looked at Jungkook.

"As you wish, sir." He agreed while Y/N looked at him through the rear mirror but he didn't gaze at her.

"Surprise?" She asked to her dad who nodded and relaxed against the seat.

"Yes, Y/N. Someone's here to meet you." He said making her frowned.

She was just about to say something when Jungkook spoke up. "We're here." He announced as he turned off the ignition and came out of the car, opening the door for Mr. Byun who patted him on the shoulder and walked ahead.

Jungkook walked to the other side only to open the door for her but she already had opened it. He stood in front of her and held the door, opening it wide for her as he forwarded his hand for her. She looked up at him and then, at his hand before taking it and coming out of the car.

"Thank you." She softly whispered only for him to hear as she looked at her dad waiting for her.

"Pleasure is all mine, Little Rose." He whispered making her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him and nodded, before walking away when he brushed his hand with hers only visible to him and felt by her.

She stopped for a second as she turned to Jungkook when Mr. Byun spoke up. "Hurry up, Y/N. The guest is waiting." He said as Y/N nodded.

"You are excused." She said, to let her dad hear her as Jungkook bowed down a little.

"Yes, Ma'am." He said and started taking out their bags as she walked away.

She stopped in her track as she noticed a male figure standing in the hall as she looked at her dad with wide eyes. "Dad is it-" She was interrupted when the person turned around.
