The Mafia's Blessing

~17~

As you sat alone on the couch, your thoughts were a whirlwind of worry and anxiety. The boys had left to find Jungkook and bring him back safely. Just as you began to pray for their success, your phone rang, displaying an unknown number.

A sense of dread washed over you as you wondered who was on the other end of the call. With a mix of worry and curiosity, you slowly answered it.

"H-hello?"

Taesoo's voice came through the receiver, a chilling coldness in his tone.

"Y/N, it's been a while, hasn't it?"

Fear... fear washed over you as you heard Taesoo's voice from the other end of the phone. Your heart was pounding like crazy. Your voice wouldn't come out as you tried to answer.

Taesoo chuckled sinisterly, clearly enjoying the effect he had on you.

"Cat got your tongue?"

Taesoo continued, his voice dripping with condescension.

"We had a deal Kim Y/N... I warned you to stay out of my business, didn't I? Remember there are consequences when someone breaks their promises."

Your heart dropped to the floor, you were well aware what this man was capable of. You only had one thing in your mind and that was Junwoo... You ran up the stairs and into his room. Relief washed over you as you see him sleeping in his bed safe.

You took a deep breath before finally speaking....

"Why are you calling me? What have you done to Jungkook?"

Taesoo chuckled, his voice oozing a chilling smugness.

"Always straight to the point... You never did waste words. As for Jungkook, he's safe... for now. Well, as safe as he can be in the state he's in."

Your blood was boiling. You knew this man was a psycho, but to be able to hurt his own son... my god...

"How did you find out I was back in Korea?" you tried hiding your nervousness in your voice...

Taesoo chuckled again.

"Oh, my dear Y/N... You underestimate my reach. I have eyes and ears everywhere. Did you really think you could come back to Korea without me finding out?"

He continued, his tone growing more menacing.

"I've been waiting for you to make a mistake, and you finally did. Coming back so carelessly..."

Taesoo paused, his voice growing a hint darker.

"Although, I must admit... I didn't expect you to come running back so soon. Tell me, what made you decide to come back to Korea?"

You hesitate before answering...

"That's... none of your business..."

You looked at your son and then focused back on the call...

"Why are you torturing Jungkook? I was the one that came back...I broke our deal. Let him go. He's your son, don't you care about him?"

Taesoo's voice stayed cold and calculating.

"Do I care about my son? Of course I do. He's my son after all and my successor. I'm a man who values power... and Jungkook doesn't need you distracting him form the Black Cobras.

Before you could answer he spoke

"Well, well well it seems my guests have arrived..."

He hangs up before you could say anything.
