Ganster's Squad

Chapter 57: A father's advice.

Next came Jin. He wasn't too curious what he wanted to talk to him about, it wasn't like they were friends. "Sit down young man." Jin nodded with his head and sat down. "Now, you're dating Maite, right?"

"Yes. Sort of." Jin didn't knew exactly how to persuade Maite to give herself fully. Since their fight the other day, she avoided him like plague. He didn't like it.

"You have this mischief in your eyes. You're not what you look like, am I right?"

Jin shrugged. "I think so."

Antonio laughed. "You have more substance in you kid, more than what meets the eye. You're caring and attentive towards everyone. You like to take care of others, and that's an important trait. Namjoon could be the head of the gang, but you're the heart that keeps everything connected. Am I right so far?"

Jin thought about his friends and how he acted around them. "I guess so."

"I like you kid. You have this glint in your eyes, a youthfulness, a player side. I see my wife in you."

"How can you tell? You are right."

Antonio smirked. "I'm a really good judge of character. I read people like others read books. It's my superpower."

"I'll be damned. I can see where Kara gets her tongue."

"She's my best work of art."

"All my respect."

"What's with you and your girlfriend? I sensed some tensions between you two."

"I have a hard time trying to convince her to give me her heart."

"Then you're doing something wrong. Buy her flowers, take her to a nice dinner, treat her right."

"Everything seems wrong when it comes to her."

"There isn't an easy fix when it comes to a woman. You have to find out exactly what makes her heart beat faster."

"I'm trying."

"You need to set up an example for your little brother. He looks up to you."

"I know. I try my best to keep him safe."

"I won't argue with you there. Just don't forget about yourself, while you're looking out for the rest. When you have unanswered questions, you have to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective. Can you send Hoseok please?" Jin bowed and left.

Hoseok entered the office. He wondered what could he possibly tell him he hasn't heard already. "Ah, Hoseok. You're the one with the psycho ex, right?"

Hoseok nodded, the last thing he wanted was a reminder of his poor choice of a girlfriend. "I wish everyone would stop saying that."

"You perpetuate this. You are still thinking that it's your fault."

"It is my fault." Hoseok said louder than he intended.

"Kid, people would turn on you for less than that. I saw it happen countless times. When a person is rotten to the core, there isn't much you can do."

"I tried to keep up with her, nothing worked." Hoseok ran his hand through his hair. He was frustrated beyond belief.

"When the right woman comes along, it's effortless. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for her happiness. That's not how it works."

"How does it works then? I don't even know what I'm doing."

"You compliment each other, like Yin and Yang. You just fit."
