EPISODE 63

We have a problem!

I finished the story already but-

===========================

V stood near the railing and fetches his cigar which is always secured somewhere in his coat or jacket.

Jungkook silently stood behind and balled his fists in anxiousness.

V Continued to stare at nothingness as he puffs smoke and pocket his other hand.

Jungkook slowly walks and stood beside him, staring nowhere as well. He places his hands on the cold railing.

Silence never left them.

Jungkook steals a glance at V who continued smoking.

It wasn't gone unnoticed by V, of course.

"Where do you want me to start?"

V starts without looking at him.

Jungkook whips his head again to V.

"You've heard some from that guy already. What else do you want to know?"

V turns to Jungkook but the latter immediately avoided his eyes by looking in front again.

"I have a few...few questions. But-"

"Start asking while I'm on it."

V cuts him.

Jungkook sighs deeply and widely.

"First...the lady. Did you really...kill her?"

"Soohyun? No. She's safe and unharmed."

"But the video-"

"I can't be that kind of a monster, you know."

V chuckles bitterly.

Jungkook bowed down and bits his lips.

"Soohyun was a victim, too. Seungho killed her entire family and pretended to be her savior. He kept her isolated and made her believe his words. She was more of an obsession to him, not love."

V continuous.

Jungkook was stunned to know more about everything. He opens his mouth but closes it again when he couldn't find the right words to say.

"I scared her but I definitely didn't harm her. I simply showed and told her the truth. It hurts her for now but she'll be fine."

Jungkook doesn't know what to say next.

"I...I'm sorry. I thought...you..."

"You thought I let my men harassed and killed her?"

V chuckled once more, dryly.
