Taehyung:
He looked around the study with a sort of pout on his lips. It was odd being back here. In his father's study. He looked at all the pictures and smiled at seeing one with him and Sooyoung. The doors opened and he watched Namjoon—apparently his cousin—walking in. Taehyung groaned, grabbing his head in pain. This was the first time he was seeing Namjoon after finding out they were cousins.
"You know, you could have brought me down here like a civil person and I know I probably have a bump on my head."
"Oh, shut up. I know you were awake through it all. Heck, you even intimidated one of the men. It's also your damn fault; didn't Kai tell you to duck?" Namjoon sat in his father's chair while he shrugged.
One of the men, named Kai, had told him to duck. He did duck but he ducked too early that by the time he stood straight he hit his head on the doorframe of the car, hard. Taehyung sat in the seat he would always sit in. It was weird to think he wasn't sitting on it now because he was in trouble but talking to the person, he didn't know he was related to until recently. Namjoon slid a picture closer to him and he took it. He studied it and only recognized his father and Mr. Park. Wait, Mr. Park?
His face must have shown his confusion. "That's your father, my father, and Mr. Park. They had business together. Well, more like Mr. Park had business with our grandfather before your father took over. This won't be easy but Tae, your father is part of his world but not because he chose to be. It was handed to him when he inherited the company. I talked to him and he didn't know until everything was legally given to him. This was before you were even three and later, he figured out a way to keep Joy safe."
"What about your dad? Why didn't I know I had an uncle?"
"My dad, well he was a cop. An undercover cop. He decided he didn't want to work in the business world and pursued a degree in law. Ironically enough, his first assignment once he made his way up into the investigation's unit was to go undercover and infiltrate the underground world of Daegu, which also meant Seoul and Busan. In a sense, it was good he had a father that was once part of it. Everything your father was trying to manage and not be part of at the same time, fell to him. You're lucky Tae, you could have been the boss everyone is looking for."
Taehyung narrowed his eyes. "Does that make you the boss? How did your father die?" he paused. "Sorry, that last one was insensitive."
"No. It makes sense to want to know. Tae, you may not be the direct heir anymore, but you still have a say in things. Whether you like it or not. Yoongi and I were wrong. You and Joy are not that much different. My father, his last 'assignment' was to transfer Joy to Jeju when she was younger. The Oh's had come into power in Seoul by the use of blood and threatened Park to give them his heir. No one knew about Joy. The daughter of his only legitimate daughter who was killed a year after giving birth. The Oh's knew and it was because, from what I found out, they tortured his daughter and got that information out of her before killing her. Park had the most land. He did and when he gave Joy to my father to help protect, he gave up some of his land to him."
