Chapter 12☙

Jungkook's POV

Hobi Hyung and I got the things for Yeon In and dropped them off at JaeEun's flat. All she needed to do was take her to the vet. We went back to our apartment and chilled.

Me and Hobi Hyung played some overwatch and I was thinking about a way Hoesok and JaeEun knew each other.

'Maybe they went to the same school. Me and Hyung went to different schools so I don't know the people that he knew. But why did they seem so stiff?' I thought.

I detached my eyes from the TV and look at Hyung.

"Hyung..... D-do you know JaeEun?"

He faced me with a blank face and opened his mouth. He was about to say something but then closed his mouth and signed. He licking his due to the dryness, and finally made eye contact with me.

"She was my friend in middle school until high school, and we dated in the first two years of high school...." He said in a low voice.

"Why did you two break up?"

He sighed again and looked away. "I-I was the one to break up with her. But I was forced to, my parents wanted me to date one of their friends' daughter, obviously to have some sort of financial benefit."

"Wait so why did you two look so... I don't know, stiff?" I asked.

"Since I didn't agree with my parents, they blackmailed me into breaking up with her. And because I wanted her to forget about me, I acted cold to her, and I-I..... I made out with the queenka of the school in front of her." He said the last part a bit quicker, still leaving me dumbfounded.

"Why? That's the dumbest way to make someone forget you! You literally could have said; 'sorry my parents are forcing me to date this bitch, I have to break up with you.' It's simple!" I basically scolded him.

"I know! I was a dumb senior at the time and my parents hate me! I still hate myself for doing that, and I was even stupid enough to do it a week after her brother died!!!" He yelled in frustration.

"WHAT?! You did that a week after her brother died?! OMG, YOU ARE SO DUMB! No wonder you don't have any girlfriends anymore." I scoffed and continued. "What happens to the girl you were forced to date?"

"She was that queenka girl, her name is Hara. Honestly, I don't know what really happened, we dated for the rest of high school. But once we graduated their family suddenly moved to America." Hoseok Hyung sighed for the millionth time. "I didn't even try to get Haeji- I mean JaeEun back since I knew she hated me. But I didn't even find her, like... Like she just vanished."

"What do mean vanished?" I asked.

"Since she was a year younger than me, just like you, so she should have still been in high school. But the school said she graduated early, I don't know how. After that, I went to her apartment that she shared with her brother, but they said she didn't pay rent for a while so they kicked her out." He put the controller down on the couch and leaned back on it. "I haven't seen her until now..."

" *sigh* Hyung, I should get going, I have some things to do. Bye." I said before getting up and putting on my shoes and heading out the door with my keys.

I got out of the building and got into my car. I made my way to the abandoned part of town until I reached an ally. I parked the car behind a bush and made my way into the ally.

I stopped at a metal door that a hidden keypad at the side of it. I moved away from the barcode and punched in the numbers. The door slowly opened revealing a narrow corridor.

My feet made their way through the long hallways as my heart rate increased. 'I hate this place. What did I get myself into?' I thought.

I took a halt once the tall wooden door was in front of me. Slowly lifting up my fist, I knocked on the door three consecutive times. When I heard a faint 'Come in.', I turned the knob and slowly walked in with my head low.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Kim?" My eyes went up a little, meeting with his greedy, arrogant gaze. His mouth curled up a little into a smug grin.

"I see you've learned how to respect me, Jeon Jungkook. Last time you came here you almost punched me, and you had to see what the consequences were. You know it felt good to beat up someone you love I front of you- wait no, I met you at the grocery store also!" He said nonchalantly, making me want to punch in the old wrinkly face multiple times. But I couldn't.

"I don't mean to be rude Mr. Kim, but I have that much time to waste. So please tell me what you wanted to tell me." I said quickly, preventing myself from doing anything.

He chuckled a little before standing up and making his way over to me. He was a bit shorter than me, but his gaze made me feel small. His palm hit my cheeks and slapped it lightly.

"You should know Jungkook, that in doing you a favor. If I weren't for my kindness, you and you whole disgusting family would be dead by now. Buuuttt..... Because I thought that you might be helpful to me, I decided to keep all of you alive. But it's now that easy, you have to beat me no matter what, arraso?" He said aggressively into my ear.

I lightly nodded, clenching my jaw so hard it started to hurt. My fists curled up into balls and I took a deep breath.

"Yes, Mr. Kim, I will obey your every word. Yet, unfortunately, the 'Boss' you assigned me to has requested me to come for a mission. I can not have my cover is blown, Sir." I said then strongly exhaled.

"Ok, ok, u get it. But I have another task for. I'm sure you know Agent Jae, I mean obviously, I know since I have my men spying on you. Well, I want you to gain her trust as much as possible, then bring her to me. I have some unfinished business with her family." He said stepping away from me and sitting back in his leather chair.

My eyes shot up at him once I herd JaeEun's name. 'could I betray Jaeeun like that? She would never forgive me. I need to do this for my family. Sigh' I thought.

"Y-yes Mr. Kim..."

"Is there a problem Jungkook. Have you grown... Perhaps attached to my prayers? Well if so let me tell you something, you should probably let go of all the feeling you have for anyone at all. I don't care if it's your brother or your mother or your girlfriend. They will eventually die at the end like the rest. What a pity..... Tsk, tsk, tsk..." He said, got up and left the room.

I stood there in thought. 'Why does everyone I care about getting hurt?' I thought before walking out of the horrid building and getting into my car, driving off to the company.

Once I reached there, I got out of the car and went up to Boss's office. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer before entering.

I saw Boss sitting on his desk looking at some scattered papers over his desk. He looked up at me and got up right from the table. Boss grabbed a pile of papers in his hand and handed it to me.

"Just go over this, it has all the info you'll be needing. Just so that know this is a very important mission, usually I won't contact Agent Jae, but as you know she is having a temporary break from work." He said and I nodded in agreement as I flipped through the papers.

"You will go to Milan for 4 days. There will be an exhibit held in the Art Museum and it's expected that some Korean criminal is planning on stealing one of the newly discovered paintings...*sigh*...... I don't want you I feel pressured, but there is no room for mistakes, arraso?" He said seriously.

"I understand sir, but when is this?" I simply asked.

"Next week Monday. Today is...... Tuesday, so you'll have 5 days, discluding today. You may go now." He said sitting back down in his chair.

I bowed and left the building. I got into my car and ruffled up my hair angrily.
