If Only I Was A Little Braver | Park Jimin

제 39 장

Jimin held onto her hand tightly just like she did to his.

she was afraid.

and so was he.

the man dressed in a suit walked into the room, causing both of them to stiffen up.

he noticed their held hands but kept quiet, tolerating.

"Ms Kwon. you're here." he said, making her shiver at his cold voice.

now Jae knew where Jimin got his coldness from.

"Father." Jimin said, equally emotionless.

she swore even the staff around had goosebumps from their similarity.

"why do you need me here?" she asked, brave enough.

Mr Park's eyes averted back to Jae, his lips now quirking up slightly.

"I'm sure you are aware of Jimin's engagement, Ms Kwon. and based on your intelligence, I think you know what I want to say." he said, straight to the point.

"Father i-"

"you're planning to kill me anyways. why go a big circle?" you asked, curious of his intentions and you kind of don't want Jimin to be involved, he would hate his father so bad.

Dowoon broke into an old chuckle.

"you're a smart girl. such a pity that you can't be Jimin's wife."

their eyes widened.

Jimin was ready to stand up and fight, because his father should never even think of laying a hand on the girl.

"you're right, Ms Kwon, I am planning to kill you. actually, you should be dead by now. but I guess Jimin is always interrupting my plan." he looked at his son, who had his tongue in his cheek.

"leave her alone." Jimin spoke, anger rising in his voice.

"so why aren't you killing me now? why are you talking to me like I won't die a minute later?" Jae challenged.

"as you say." the man tilted his head in satisfaction, gesturing for his man.

as if on cue, the bulky man pulled Jae up, causing Jimin to stand up as well.

Jae struggled under their grip as they pulled her away from Jimin.

the son was ready to punch some faces.

but his father, who didn't bother to look at him, took a deep breath in, showing his anger towards his only son.

"fight," he paused, already challenging his son, "and you will never be able to see her."

Jimin stopped moving, his fist just right in front of the guard's face.

"Father, if you dare lay a finger on her, I won't hesitate to kill any of you as well." the boy growled.

"really?" the elder smirked, gesturing for his men to bring the girl forward to face them.

one of the dressed in all black man stood in front of Jae, then slapped her once. twice. thrice.

Jimin flinched.

then he felt something at his back.

a gun.

"if you move, I don't know what I'll do."

ironically, the father was pointing a gun at his son.

Jimin glared at his father, already forgetting who he is.

"stop it." Jimin closed his eyes as he witnessed Jae's mouthed covered in blood and the man started kicking her calves, causing her to kneel on the floor.
