VENGEANCE

23. This time, it will be harder

"We need to talk" Jin said as soon as Yoongi entered the cafe. Yoongi simply frowned and took a seat around the table. "Are we waiting for someone?" he asked after fifteen minutes of silence. "Namjoon" Hoseok said. Yoongi scowled and nodded. 

"Sorry, I am late" Namjoon said as he suddenly ran through the door. "I overslept" he said, smiling sheepishly before looking at the only empty space among them. His face fell as he realized that he had to sit between Jimin and Yoongi. 

He looked at Jin for help. He thought they would separate both of them as much as possible, not make them sit together. Jin simply shrugged and pointed at the seat. Namjoon licked his lips nervously and sat down, scooting closer to Jimin. 

"We'll tell you about our trip, Yoongi. Then we have something to discuss about" Jin said. 

Yoongi looked up confused. 'What the hell is happening? Why is he talking to me as if he didn't catch me abusing his friend? I thought he was going to treat me coldly' he thought. Jin took out a folder and put it on the table. 

"What's that?" Hoseok asked as he reached out to open it. "Not now" Jin slapped his hand away. 

"So! Listen carefully. We spent the night in Taehyung's house and left for Palgongsan yesterday morning. We spent a lot of time over there and had a lot of fun. And then Namjoon broke down saying he shouldn't have come to Daegu, that all the horrible memories he had tried to keep buried were resurfacing. We tried to console him, but he cried very badly" Jin said. 

Namjoon stiffened, staring at Jin with wide eyes, wondering why in the hell Jin was telling all of this to Yoongi. Yoongi was staring at Jin with wide eyes, wondering the same thing. 'Of course, he cried. What else can he do? Cowardly piece of shit'  he thought. 

Jin took a deep breath and continued. "We then met someone named Sejin. Looks like Namjoon knew him already, so we got a lot of free apples from him. Then we went to the Buddha sculpture on the top. After that, Namjoon went back home while we went to the park and played for a while. After that, we went to Doore Yoo" Jin said, while others carefully observed Namjoon and Yoongi's reactions. 

Yoongi froze the moment he heard 'Doore Yoo'. His knuckles turned white. Namjoon took a stealthy glance at Yoongi from the corner of his eyes. 

"We played truth or dare for a while and then asked one of the ladies over there to show us through the photo gallery over there. It seems she worked there for around fourteen years. She remembered a few people who used to visit the restaurant regularly around five or six years ago. 

She showed us the elite section, and surprisingly," Jin opened the folder and took the printed photos out, "we found a few old photos. She told us about two of those guys in those photos. 

She said that those two guys were really close friends and really really loved each other. We dunno what happened to them, but they are certainly not on good terms anymore" he said, throwing the photos on the table, in front of Namjoon and Yoongi. 

Yoongi and Namjoon looked at each other with wide eyes before looking away. Namjoon immediately closed his eyes while Yoongi reached for the photos and tore them into pieces. He threw them back on the table with a mad glint in his eyes. 

He proceeded to leave when Jin calmly stopped him. "I'm not done yet. Sit down before I hand you over to the police" Jin said. Yoongi froze and turned back to stare at Jin. Jin pointed to the chair and stared him down as he walked back to his chair. 

"We were completely confused about it. Not just that. The fact that the eldest son of the richest person in Daegu is working in a small cafe in Seoul, is even more confusing. And the fact that he never even told us that he had a younger brother, and that he was loaded, even though he worked with us for almost five and a half years now, is very upsetting" Jin said, staring at Namjoon, who completely had his head down. 

"You wanna know how we got to know? You both are quite famous in Daegu. Even though Taehyung's father didn't know your name, he knew quite a lot about Mr. Kim Sihyuk's son and his best friend. 

When you said you wouldn't share personal details, I didn't know that you were hiding the fact that you were in jail until now. And the fact that you madly searched for Namjoon made me realize why he wanted to run away the moment he saw you in the cafe. We all understood why he used to get drunk every night. 

Because he didn't have the dare to face you sober. Now that we know you have been to jail and that it hasn't even been half a year since you came out, I am planning to complain to the police about you abusing him. That is, unless you guys first explain what the hell is going on" Jin said firmly. 

Yoongi looked at Namjoon before looking back at Jin. "Point number one - it was all in the past. He is not my best friend anymore. 

Point number two - I told you not to ask about my personal matters. My personal life doesn't concern you. I don't have any reason to explain my life to you. Neither does he. 

Point number three - I don't care if you hand me to the police, because nothing in this world matters to me anymore. As long as I get to do what I need to do. If you put me in jail now, you are just delaying your torture for another five years. That's all" Yoongi said, turning towards Namjoon for the third point. 

"But remember one thing. This time, I will come back with more revenge added to my bag. I will come back with more determination. I am already determined to kill you, Monnie. I won't give you a chance to explain anymore. I will make you beg on your knees for your death" he said and bent down to Namjoon's ears. 

"Because this time, I won't give you an easy death" he said and slowly walked out of the cafe, lighting a cigarette. Everyone else could do nothing but stare at Yoongi's back with their mouths wide open and brains completely paused. 

"Monnie?" Jungkook mumbled.
