His Best Mistake

Chapter 14

Jungkook's POV

A few minutes later out walks my father, looking tired but still condescending. I can tell he doesn't like his cooking because he is losing weight. Even though the people here work to pay off their huge debt, we still make sure their basic needs are met. Fresh groceries are delivered weekly, not what he is used to but enough to live on.

"Come to gloat you little shit?" He isn't suffering too badly since he can still talk shit. "How do you know Prosecutor Smith well now Governor Smith?" His eyes lit up a bit. I can tell he is trying to figure out how he can flip this to his benefit. "We have had some business dealings together. I'll gladly tell you all about it, but uh what's in it for me?"

Shaking my head, I smirk a little and chuckle. "How about the knowledge that you did something good for your son." He flinches a bit as I hit, and I guess I kind of did.

"You never went without. I made sure there was always enough, so we didn't starve." I guess I offended him since at this point he is yelling. I wonder if he knows that being loud and indignant isn't going to make him right. "No Granny, the Min's and my brothers made sure I didn't go without. You left me to fend for myself in the casino doorway, while you lost what little we did have." I can tell he is pissed because his left eye was twitching. I can also see he knows I don't give a fuck. He needs to know he is not in charge here.

"I know you don't like it here, but I can assure you it gets worse. You did this to yourself, and you are only here because Mr. Min wants you here. I wanted you in the ironworks warehouse. Now, what is your fucking relationship with him old man?" I lost my cool a little but not to the point that I needed to raise my voice.

I could tell when he gave up, his shoulders began to sag. "Can I at least get a good steak out of this?" I nodded, "If I can use the information. I will gladly get a steak, hell I'll throw in a bottle of wine." That made him smile, not that I care I just want to know what the hell is going on.

"We met in an underground gaming hall. I was up for once." I ran my finger through my hair and rolled my eyes at the happy look that memory brought to his face. "He came in with Lee Jason and Lee Woojin. In a ... umm less than dignified position." He smiled and Joon and l looked at him and waited for him to continue. "I could tell you, but you need to see it to believe it. I always wear a body cam of sorts when I go to underground clubs." Dismissively waving his hand he continued. "You know button cameras or the kind in a lapel or tie pin." He turns and looks at me. "I still live in your childhood home. Check where I hid the rent money." I nod and we get up to leave. "It will be in your next grocery order if it's not there let me know when I call." We left immediately.

A few hours later, Joon and I are sitting in his office on the computer that he uses for suspect technology. While Joon sets up the computer, think about how many times I hid our rent money in an old coffee can in the air vent. I would take it from the floorboard he hid it under. He would sometimes take money from his hiding spot to gamble some more or pay off some debt. He never wanted anyone to be able to say he owed them. When I opened it, I found some IOU's owed to him and a few micro USB drives.

My father was right when he said we would need to see it. When I say we were not ready for what we saw, that is an understatement. What we see is Lee Woojin holding a dog leash with Smith on the other end. He was being 'walked' into the club on his hands and knees. I don't what the old man had on Jason but halfway through he was deep throating Smith like a pro. The other USB drives were full of more of the same, influential people in compromising positions.

I know there has to be more of these out there somewhere. My father only has the views that a spectator would get in the dingy clubs. Not always from the beginning, I want the beginning. I want to know what would make people do things that appear to so humiliating. The only person the videos had in common and the only person that seemed to enjoy himself was Woojin. This explains his power, and I think it is time we take it.

"I don't want Chantel to ever know about this. She may not like the man but uuuhhhh." Joon just nodded as I ran my finger through my hair, I mean what can you say. "Yeah, I get it, no one needs to see their parent like this." After Joon and I placed the USB drives in the hidden safe inside his secret room before I left for home.

A few hours

I walk into our apartment I see Chantel laying on the couch in one of her ugly ass nightgowns. Smiling I gently pick her up to carry her into our room. She shops with my mother and sisters all the time and has never bothered to change these ugly nightgowns.

I love the way she feels in my arms. She is all soft curves and sweet smells. Admittedly we have not been as sexually active as I would like. I have been so busy dealing with our fathers, or in jail to do much more than make sure she had protection. Laying her gently her in our bed and make a few decisions. The first being we will move soon, this place no longer feels like home. The second is that this marriage will be like the one mom and dad have. I want a forever kind love. Jumping up I quickly go take a shower. 

After a quick shower, I climb into bed. As I pull Chantel into my arms I smile thinking about how lucky I am. She could have left me in jail or at the mercy of the family attorney. She could have complained about how we actually got married the first time. But she didn't and for that, I will be forever grateful.

I make a promise between me and God to always protect her and make every effort to make her smile. I want her to see herself as more than what she has been told she was. I want her to never doubt that she is important to me. I want to watch her accomplish her dreams. For the first time in my life, I couldn't wait to see someone pregnant with my child. There have been a fair few false alarms or fake proclamations over the years. Now I want a child with my wife. I want to complete my little family like I see my brothers doing.

A/N: Hello beautiful people. 😁 How have you been? I am doing much better, after being sick for a few days. 😷 No I don't have corona just a cold. Yes, I had to take the test anyway so I could go back to work. Anyway, I appreciate all the well wishes and your patience on my non-existent updates. (❤'艸｀❤) I will see you in the next update.
