VENGEANCE

27. Answer me!

Jungkook had been tense the whole day. Yoongi was going to do the big reveal and he couldn't help but feel slightly pessimistic about it. 

He hadn't told Jimin and Taehyung about the previous night yet. They didn't force him, either. He realized that something might really be wrong about the relationship between Yoongi and Namjoon. And that it might as well go down tonight. 

"Follow me" Yoongi said to Namjoon right before the cafe closed and walked to the back room of the kitchen. Namjoon felt extremely tensed, but followed him nonetheless. 

"I am planning to tell everyone about it tonight. It's your wish if you want to stay and hear the story or if you wanna run away again. I realized that this was the best way to start my revenge. Because after tonight, no one from Aroma Mocha is ever gonna help you ever" Yoongi said and walked out of the back room without giving Namjoon a chance to reply. 

Namjoon's hands and legs started to tremble. He had to run away. There was no way he could stop Yoongi from telling everyone about the past anymore. But a small part of him reminded him of the promise that he had made to himself a few months ago. 

'If my death is what reduces your anger, then I am ready to die at your feet, hyung. Because I know I deserve it. If torturing me satisfies you, then go on and do it. Because I don't want to run away anymore. I won't run away anymore, hyung. I will endure everything' he had promised to himself. 

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before going on and completing the rest of the work. Needless to say, he was on edge. Extremely on edge. Jin started to notice how he flinched every time he so much as heard someone walking over in his direction. 

"Joon, you okay?" Jin asked. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. D-Don't worry about me, hyung" Namjoon said and walked away before Jin could ask anything more. Jin scowled at him and returned to work. 

"Namjoon! Are you okay?" Hoseok ran to him as Namjoon dropped a tray of cups. Hoseok stopped him from cleaning the mess when he noticed his trembling hands. 

"What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Hoseok asked. "Y-Yeah" Namjoon said and walked away, his knees buckling slightly. 

"NAMJOON HYUNG!" Jimin yelled and ran to him when he noticed his knees buckle. "I-I'm fine" Namjoon said, getting out of Jimin's grip and hurrying to the bathroom."What's wrong with him?" Taehyung asked. "Gawd knows" Jimin sighed.

 "Okaiie, work done. Let's chill" Jin said and settled at their usual table. Everyone slumped into the chairs while Namjoon stayed in the washroom. "I'll go and get him" Jungkook said, looking at Yoongi and gesturing to him to start. 

Yoongi cleared his throat. "I..." he took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. "I want to tell you guys about what happened. Because I can't take it anymore" he said in a single breathe. 

Everyone looked at him with open mouths. "You sure? You really want to tell us?" Hoseok asked. "Yes. After yesterday, I thought about it, and I want to give him a chance" Yoongi said, looking at Namjoon, who entered the room with Jungkook just then. 

"Hyung, please! Can't we do this alone? Please! I beg you, please!" Namjoon pleaded the moment he saw Yoongi. 

"No. It's either in front of everyone, or nothing at all. You were the one asking me for a chance. I am giving you your chance. Your one and only chance. Because I do want a few questions answered before killing you. Also, I didn't give you any permission to call me hyung yet" Yoongi said coldly. 

The others didn't know what to say, but they didn't want to interfere, either. They had a feeling that the day was going to end badly. Very badly. They watched as Namjoon sat down and reached for a beer bottle. 

"Are you gonna run away again? How many times will you try to run away from your problems? There is no way I am going to let you escape today. You have to face it sober" Yoongi said in firm tome, making Namjoon flinch and shrink in his seat. 

He took another deep breath before looking at everyone. "Namjoon and I became friends because of our parents. We were literally introduced to each other since we were babies, and we grew up together. We were really very close.

Namjoon was the eldest son of the richest couple in Daegu and the heir to the most prosperous company back then. He lost his parents in an accident, but that didn't affect our friendship in any way. It was all fine. Extremely fine" Yoongi said, staring at Namjoon, who had his head completely down. 

Others maintained literal pin drop silence as Yoongi talked about his past. This was the first time Yoongi acknowledged his friendship with Namjoon. 

"Namjoon had a girlfriend named Lisa. I never actually saw her, because she absolutely hated taking photos and I never met her in person. But I knew that he was in love with her. What happened, by the way? Did you two break up before you ran away? Or did she dump you?" Yoongi asked Namjoon. 

Namjoon stayed silent. "ANSWER ME, YOU FUCKER!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BOTH? I AM GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN, WHY AREN'T YOU EXPLAINING?" Yoongi yelled suddenly, making everyone flinch. 

Namjoon stayed silent. Yoongi glared at Namjoon for a long while before tilting his side and continuing with his explanation. 

"I'll come back to this. Anyways, I used to like a girl named Hyojoo. I liked her for almost two years before mustering up enough courage to ask her out. She used to visit the cafe where I worked part-time. 

Namjoon was rich enough to sit and feed his family for the rest of his life, so he didn't work part-time, but I had to. She agreed to go out with me and we started dating. After a month, one day, I asked her to meet me at a bar. We enjoyed for a while and then decided to go to the park. 

After walking for a while, I realized that I left my wallet in the bar. So I asked her to wait for me and ran back to the bar to get my wallet. On my way back, I bumped into one of our old classmates, and we talked for a couple minutes. 

Once I got away from him, I came back to Hyojoo. But by then.........." Yoongi trailed off and thought for a while. "Now, here is my second question, Namjoon." he said. 

Namjoon had been sweating buckets and his hands were trembling like crazy. Jungkook, who was sitting next to Namjoon, could even hear his weird, irregular breathing. 

"Why did you kill my girlfriend?" Yoongi asked coldly. Everyone lost their minds at that question. They gasped and looked at each other with wide eyes while Namjoon shrunk into himself.
