"Look young man. I'm not only your sister's husband but your well wisher. I know you don't believe me and it's okay! I understand I sure did wrong but tell me how long will this go on. Let's end all this between the two families on a peaceful note. They want us to meet and compromise with them. Trust me! You won't regret" Ilmaz said sitting cross legged opposite to Jungkook.

"Compromise? I'm sorry but I'm not buying any of this Ilmaz. It's hard for me to believe them, to believe you once more. Don't you remember what happened back then? My sister died. She died! I'm the only successor and they want me dead. I can't risk my life. I don't care about me but it would be like risking my family and I don't trust you not after you leaked the information about what we've planned to execute at the meeting with Kim's. That costed me my sister's life God damn it." Jungkook got agitated by this man he can't believe Ilmaz still have that audacity to ask him to trust him.

Back then Jungkook's father trusted this man with his life and he ended up deceiving them with their rivals and that too with full presence of mind. He gained a lot of profit bargaining with the Kim's leaving his family to bear the huge loss of not only money but life of his younger sister. Only if his elder sister wasn't married to this man Jungkook would've chopped this person into pieces and fed them to his dogs.

"Hahaha Jungkook don't do this man. You know I was intoxicated by them it's not like I gained something from that. It wasn't deliberate. Come on now I'm a totally different Ilmaz now you gotta believe me" No matter with how many explanations Ilmaz come up with Jungkook already knew everything and he wasn't fool to buy any of his excuses.

"Let me think about it. It'll take time but I'm not assuring you for anything." Jungkook don't wanted to carry on the conversation with this man he was already getting on his nerves.

"Okay Jungkook think about it, eomma wants the same. You're the youngest in the family but you're the wisest one too and being the only successor of this huge empire you have to look into all the perspectives and sometimes things workout only when you compromise.
Take care of yourself. I wish you to get well soon." Ilmaz patted him lightly on his shoulder and Jungkook nodded in response not interested in seeing him off as he remained seated thinking hard about the issue.

Jungkook zoned out for a solid minute not realising Jimin sitting on the chair Ilmaz sat on earlier. His mind was conflicted with so many thoughts he don't want the similar incident that took away his sister from him to happen again. Who would trust when it comes to Kims they were bad tempered and losses it on small things.

Jungkook didn't trust Ilmaz however when he mentioned eomma Jungkook became much more conflicted then before. Though eomma wasn't his real mom she was Mr. Jeon's first wife and Jungkook and his younger sister Jennie were kids from Mr. Jeon's second wife who expired when Jungkook and Jennie were in kindergarten ever since eomma treated him and Jennie like her own kids despite of having a daughter Jessie who was older than them. She never let them feel lonely or without mother not for a second and that's the reason Jungkook loved her and respected her with his life.

As much Jungkook loved Jennie he loved Jessie even more. He shared a special bond with her noona. But later she got married to Ilmaz. Jungkook never liked him at the first place, only if he wouldn't have been a culprit, Jennie wouldn't have died but what can Jungkook even do, he was helpless. He didn't want to ruin her sister's married life so he kept finger on his lips because he don't want to loose his other sister too.
