His Queen

Chapter 29

Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!!

AUTHOR'S POV :

It had been a few days since taehyung had picked jungkook up from school, and thankfully, things were going good again. Taehyung was being as nice as ever, co-operative, and same was the case with jungkook.

Jungkook would keep finding ways and excuses to see him, since he had grown pretty attached to him. If anything, he knew his feelings for taehyung had enhanced, and although it scared him, he was happy.

Genuinely. Happier than he had ever been before.

"So you think you're smarter than I am, huh?" Taehyung asked jungkook, making him purse his lips.

"I didn't say that, you did," jungkook replied, turning on to his side, moving his phone to the right ear to the left.

"Oh, so you don't just think that, you're trying to act that way too," taehyung replied, making him giggle.

"I didn't do anything," jungkook replied, smiling.

"Oh yeah you didn't," taehyung laughed. "I think I'll have to teach you a lesson when I see you next."

"I didn't even do anything!" Jungkook laughed.

"No, no, you're being too–" taehyung started, but stopped immediately.

"COME IN!" He shouted, making jungkook frown.

"What?" Taehyung snapped, after which jungkook heard some incoherent voices in the background.

"Tell him to manage it," he replied.

There were a few more seconds, after which jungkook heard him sigh.

"They shouldn't have done that," he muttered slowly, and jungkook could tell he was pissed off.

"Get my men ready," he ordered.

"Taehyung?" Jungkook said softly, trying to remind him that he was still on the phone.

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later, butterfly," taehyung said, and just hung up. Jungkook blinked, frowning, placing his phone down on the bed.

"Weird," he thought. He was about to pick up his phone to text taehyung, when his mom barged into his room.

"JUNGKOOK!" She yelled, making him drop his phone.

"What is it?" He asked, taking in her worried features and agitated posture.

"Aera called me just now," she said softly, looking frightened.

"Aunt aera? Why? Did irene do something?" He asked. Irene was the troublemaker after all, he knew it better than anyone else.

"No. It's irene's father. He's been murdered," she whispered, and his eyes widened. He instantly stood up, covering his mouth in shock, as tears blurred his vision.

"What?" He whispered in disbelief. Irene's father was a good man. He didn't deserve to be killed.

"Yes. He has been shot thirteen times in the chest, once in the head, and once in the leg," she told him, her voice cracking as she began to sob.

Jungkook rushed to her, hugging her, as cries erupted from his mouth too.

"We should go there," he whispered, wiping his tears.

"Yeah, your father is getting the car out."

All of them immediately rushed to visit irene and aunt aera, also picking up jimin on their way. They may not have been at amazing terms with irene, but that did not mean they would leave her alone when she needed them the most.
