✔️Mafia's Lover, Enemy's Prey

15. Jin, Seokjin or WhiteWolf

Flashback

After the intense fight between Taehyung and Jungkook over their love relationship, Jimin got more determined to find out more about Raejin. Using his extensive network of sources, which he typically employed to help Jungkook in business, Jimin decided to do some digging for personal reasons this time, without Jungkook’s knowledge. The information he uncovered left him shaken. His face paled as the realization dawned. Without delay, Jimin called Jungkook, Taehyung, Namjoon, and Hoseok to meet at their usual spot. Taehyung sat at the far end of the room, his eyes dark with anger, still frowning, unwilling to participate in the conversation.

Jimin started, his voice thick with urgency. "Listen, Tae, Jungkook... you have to be strong, no matter what I’m going to tell you. And you need to trust me."

Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck, his irritation apparent. He had a feeling Jimin was going to reveal something bad about Raejin, and Taehyung sat there with unreadable expressions, though a storm brewed inside him. Jimin took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger in check. He didn’t want to hurt his friends more than necessary, but they deserved the truth.

Jungkook’s patience was thinning. “What is it, Jimin? Just say it already.” His tone was sharper than usual, a defense mechanism against the storm he felt coming.

Namjoon, sensing the tension, chimed in, "What’s going on, Jimin? Is everything alright?"

"No, Joon. Nothing is alright. We... we’ve been blind, since the very beginning." Jimin’s frustration was evident. "Tae," he pointed at Taehyung, then at Jungkook, "Jungkook, we were all so stupid. There is no Seokjin, Tae," Jimin said, watching as Taehyung’s head jerked up at the mention of Seokjin’s name. "And Jungkook… there is no Raejin." Jungkook’s eyes blazed in disbelief. "There is only one person, that's WhiteWolf."

"What are you talking about, Jimin? Do you even know what you're saying?" Jungkook stood up, clearly frustrated.

"I know exactly what I'm saying, Jungkook." Jimin’s voice cracked with frustration, but he pressed on. "Seokjin is none other than Raejin, and he is WhiteWolf."

"What?" Taehyung shot up from his seat, confusion etched into his features, "What WhiteWolf?" None of this made sense.

"WhiteWolf is our enemy, Tae. He’s after Jungkook because of that one consignment issue where Yeonjun killed one of their members. He’s ruthless, and he is well-known for it. Jungkook thought he could approach Raejin to fix things, but he didn’t know Raejin and Seokjin were the same person."

“That can’t be possible,” Jungkook said, anger boiling in his voice. “Raejin has nothing to do with this!”

“Do you really know anything about Raejin, besides what he has told you?” Jimin fired back, staring at Jungkook, daring him to answer. Jungkook hesitated, thrown by Jimin’s intensity. Jimin took out a pile of papers from his pocket and tossed them on the table. “Take a look. Tell me, is this the man you’re dating? Is this Raejin?” Taehyung’s hands trembled as he grabbed the photos, flipping through them with wide, frantic eyes.

They showed Seokjin, his Seokjin hyung standing with unfamiliar people, and some familiar faces, including Yoongi. “He’s... he’s Mr. Kim. Seokjin-hyung,” Taehyung’s voice was strained, almost breaking. Jungkook muttered under his breath, “He’s Jin?”

“Yes, Jungkook, your Raejin is Seokjin. And Seokjin is WhiteWolf. That’s the truth.”

"But how? Seokjin owns a restaurant, and Raejin is a professor. How can they be the same person?" Taehyung was trying to make sense of the impossible.

"I thought the same thing, but SeokJin has been hiding for years," Jimin explained, his voice tense. "His businesses have been running under the name 'Mr. Kim' without ever revealing his face. The restaurant party we attended, Tae, that was the first time he showed his face to his staff. It wasn’t just a coincidence that he entered our lives." Jimin's voice faltered slightly as he added, "Even Yoongi. Min Yoongi, he’s the face of Suga, WhiteWolf’s right hand. I found out that Yoongi has met with Kai, Raejin’s brother. Does that make sense? It means Yoongi is working for the Howlers too, that from where I got all the information" Jimin’s voice trembled with fury.
