Azalea [KookV]

34. I Know

"Stop this. Stop protecting me and pretend that as if nothing happened. I know everything. Your wounds, Bogum Hyung's death, and Wonwoo's condition, it's all because you guys are trying to protect me, right? Therefore, you don't need to protect me anymore, I don't want any more lives to be lost just because of me. I'm very grateful for all the protection and everything you guys sacrificed for my sake. But let's stop this, prince of the blackbird."

The funeral process is over, some people have left the cemetery. Leaving the family - father, mother, and three siblings -, and three men - Hoseok, Mingyu, and Seungcheol -. Everyone stood at the front of the grave with heads down. Maybe it was them showing respect or maybe they're trying to hide the tears.

The only woman there fell to the ground. A great tremor overtook her, she mumbled incoherent things and choked on her sobs. His youngest son crouched down, gently embracing her. Letting his mother wailing in his arms.

"Bastard." Hyunsik cursed when he saw two men walking toward them. One of them was pale white and was slightly shorter than the man walking behind him, they were Min Yoongi and his warlord. Both are wearing black suits combined with loafers, not the slightest bit of guilt showed on their faces.

Both Haejin, Seojoon, and Hyungsik want to beat him up if they don't remember that he is the grandson of His Majesty King Min Jae Hyun. They could only hold their resentment by clenching their fists tightly.

But not with Jimin, the man immediately release his embraces to his mother and rushed towards the white dragon prince. Pulling his collar with a gaze filled with hatred and desire to kill. "Killer," he said. His hand is now on Yoongi's neck, almost strangling him if it wasn't for Jaebum who's holding his hand back.

"You murderer. You killed my brother, I will kill you." Jimin shouted furiously, forgetting that he was in the cemetery.

And Yoongi just grinned, smirking so evilly. "I didn't kill your brother, the one who took your brother's life is Kim Taehyung, your best friend. You can't confuse the fact, Park."

Jimin tightened his grip on Yoongi's neck. "What do you mean? What kind of bullshit coming out of your mouth."

With swift movements, in a split second, Yoongi was able to release Jimin's grip and pull his collar instead. Yanking Jimin's face closer with an evil grin. "It's all because of Taehyung. This is definitely isn't my fault. If he didn't try to protect Taehyung, he would be alive now. I wouldn't have killed him too. Don't you all agree?"

Yoongi looked at the people around him, then continued his words. "Even if days passed without me killing him, he would have died in the end. Either he killed himself for Taehyung's sake, or killed by other princes including your brother and you. But imagine if he didn't insist on protecting Taehyung, would your Hyung have died?"

The white dragon prince shoved Jimin to the ground. "It's rather simple to find out who caused the death, you can simply try removing the causes that led to death. Even if you remove me in the equation, he would have died anyway. However, the story becomes different if you remove Taehyung from the equation. If he didn't protect Taehyung, he wouldn't have died and continued to live his life." Yoongi put his face close to Jimin's ear then whisper, "If you want revenge, don't do it to me. Take revenge on Kim Taehyung."

Yoongi straightened up, tidying his wrinkled shirt because of Jimin. Showing a warm smile that everyone knows is full of lie. "I'm here to offer my condolences. We, the white dragon clan, express our deepest condolences for the death of the nine-tailed fox prince, Prince Park Bogum. No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss."
