A Part of Me [Completed] ✅

Chapter 23

Suga

I saw their shadows across the door panel before I heard the shuffling. I knew I wasn't safe, so I went out through the fire escape, flicking the switch on the old television on for good measure, before I jumped out the window.

I waited out there, listening to their conversation. I hissed when I became aware that my little bitch was just behind those walls and I couldn't do a thing about it. For now that is. I wrung my hands impotently when I realised that one of them was the guy who'd picked Seokjin up that night outside his home. I was itching to punch him. He had foiled my plans that night.

When I heard them rushing about the house, I knew it was my cue to get the fuck out of there before I was discovered. I made my way down the fire escape easily and walked down the quiet street, pulling my hoodie up and fastening my mask. Even though it's been years since I walked through this old neighbourhood, I was still well known by the older folk. I took no chances of being recognised as I caught a bus at the street corner, watching their bodyguards search the area for me. I smirked and my eyes fell upon another guy. He was very good looking and well dressed. Was this my Seokjin's new paramour?

I sat down on one the seats at the back and contemplated my next move.

..............

Seokjin

I never knew exactly what Suga did for a living. But I always knew enough to fear him and now that he's back in my life, the same old fear has resurfaced. Mrs Chen enlightened us on things my 15 year old self had easily missed. Like the fact that Suga was the leader of one of the local gangs in our area. A street thug, that had made his way to the top of the ranks by slaying his competition ruthlessly.

I never knew how he met my mother back then but Mrs Chen knew some things. She was there the day he first made his appearance at our apartment door. She vaguely remembered him speaking about me. But more than that, she didn't know.

"Hyungie, how is Seojoon?"

He dropped his chopsticks and his mouth hung open before he collected himself.

"He-he's well Jinnie. He's starting at a new school soon so I need to get back to Singapore soon."

I nodded my head and toyed with my food for a while before looking up at Jungkook again. I know he was watching me curiously.

"Would it be okay if I came along with you?"

I was aware of his breath catching. He fumbled with his table napkin, then reached for my hand.

"Of course baby. I would love for you to join me. In fact, I don't want you to leave my side anymore."

"Hyungie. ..... you know I can't be with you 24/7. I have work too," I smiled at him.

"I know baby. But, can't Taehyung transfer you to his Singapore offices for a while? I'm sure he won't mind. Also, I don't want to take any chances with Suga's whereabouts still being unknown."

"You're right hyungie. And I think Taehyung needs help to redesign the Singapore restaurant anyway. I'll talk to him when he gets back from his run."

He nodded and concentrated on his food again. I know he was dying to talk about Seojoon again but he was holding off because he was apprehensive.

I cleared my throat and began.

"Hyungie, can you please pass me the salt from the dresser behind you?"

"Sure baby." He turned and reached for the salt shaker, dropping the envelope that I'd placed under it earlier, the contents falling out. "Damn! What's this?" He bent and reached for it, picking up the stick that had fallen out. I smiled sheepishly, my eyes playfully watching for his reaction. "Babe, what's this?" He was in shock. I smiled shyly, hiding my face in my napkin. I was aware of his chair moving against the linoleum and his hands on my shoulders as he turned me to face him.

He gently moved my hands away from my napkin, but I still couldn't look up. He lifted my chin up and smiled softly.

"Is it true love? Is it yours?" He asked, softly.

I scoffed at him. "Of course it's mine you silly. Who else's is it going to be?"

"Oh God Jinnie! I love you. I love you so much."

He pulled me into his embrace and I laughed happily when he bent down to cup my tummy. He kissed it through the fabric of my top and I ran my fingers through his hair, enjoying the old feeling of having him against me.

"Hey our little miracle. I can't believe you're here. Abeoji loves you so much already."

He kissed my tummy again before coming up to kiss my lips softly.

"I love you my Jinnie. Thank you baby. You've made me so happy."

"As you've made me my love."

"Hey what's this?" He pulled my hand to gaze at my fingers. "You're wearing it Jinnie? After all these years?" He was almost in tears.

"Yes hyungie."

I had worn the eternity ring that he had placed on my finger all those years ago.

"Does this mean what I think it means?" His eyes lit up brightly. I laughed again and nodded my head shyly. "You'll marry me Jinnie?"

"Yes hyungie. I'll marry you. I love you hyungie."

"Oh Jinnie! What are you doing to me today?" He lifted me up and kissed me lovingly. "I'm the happiest man alive!"

"Hyungie, don't spin me. The baby!" I hit his arm playfully as he twirled me around in his embrace.

The door to my apartment opened and Taehyung walked in after his run. He smiled slowly after watching us.

"You told him Jin?"

"You knew?" Hyungie smirked at Taehyung.

"Yeah, I was hoping he'd do it soon. I'm so happy for you guys." He sat down and pulled a bowl of cereal towards him.

Jungkook settled beside him and continued with his breakfast smiling happily. My phone went off as I went into the kitchen.

Seokjin-ah.... Don't do anything stupid now and let your idiotic boyfriend know that you're talking to me, okay?

I stood stock still, not daring to breathe.

"Who is it babe?" Jungkook called from the dining room.

"It's Soobin, hyungie," I lied. I don't know how my voice was calm.

Good boy hey. Master knows you will always obey him.

He chuckled darkly.

What do you want?

You, of course my sugar plum. Now, if you want to ensure that nothing untoward happens to your boyfriend or your stupid friend, meet me at your restaurant today. I'll be waiting out back. And don't let anyone know it. You know what I'm capable of, don't you my amkae?

Please don't do anything to them. I will listen to you. I'll be there. I promise. I'll see you outside at ..... at 7.

Good boy. Don't worry Jinnie baby. I just want to chat, nothing else.

He cut the call and I hung onto the kitchen counter in desperation. My body was shaking with fear. I placed my hand on my belly and wiped my tears away that were falling desperately from my eyes.

I moved away from the counter with a new resolve. Something had turned within me as I heard hyungie's laughter floating from the dining room. Taehyung too was laughing happily. I thought about my Seojoon and our new little joy; nothing was going to destroy me anymore. I was going to meet him and I was going to end it all.
