Mafia Boss Rising

26: Shove It

It took two hours to thoroughly search for you in the ruins of Korain's house, but you were nowhere to be found, letting Yoongi take a breath of relief.

Quickly, he moved his people out and instructed them to be on the lookout for you. As for himself, Hoseok, and Namjoon, they had a feeling of where you were, but wouldn't make a move until they knew for sure.

The SUV rolled through the white gates that enclosed Jungkook's house. You felt sick to your stomach seeing this place again. Memories replayed inside your head...the hurt, the loneliness, the darkness that lies beyond the front door.

"Before we go in," you spoke, "I have questions that only you guys can answer."

The three men looked at you, waiting for your questions with curiosity.

"How come we never really became friends?" You asked. "We spent a lot of time together, yet we were never close."

Taehyung answered, "when he hired us as guards, we were told that our jobs were to protect, not make friends."

"Especially with you," Jimin added. "We were not to get chummy with you. The reason for that was because you were Jungkook's girlfriend."

"When he was abusing me, why didn't any of you help me?"

Seokjin took this one, "we tried. We talked to him a few times about how he was severely mistreating you...he said that if we spoke against him again, he'd kill everyone we loved."

"Alright, this last question is only for Seokjin. Taehyung and Jimin, please step out," you told them.

When it was just you and Seokjin, you asked, "on the night of my birthday, why did you offer sex to me?"

"So that for a moment, you wouldn't look miserable. I know, I could've gotten you a cake or a card, but with those come emotion. You would've thought I cared about you, which I did, but you couldn't know that," he explained.

Seokjin was staring into your eyes, keeping strong eye contact. His skin showed no signs of perspiration. He didn't show any nervousness...he's telling the truth.

"...why are you telling me this? You still work for him and you're spilling all of the secrets to me."

"We do care about you, Y/N. Jungkook has lost a lot of his workers since you left, he's not so big and bad when he's standing on his own. Tonight, if Yoongi doesn't save you first, we will. We're packing up and leaving Jungkook too, we'll take you to Yoongi. Right now, just play along."

You lit up, "...really?"

Jin smiled, "yes, I promise. Oh-come on, he's coming."

You both put on stone faces before seeing Jungkook so he wouldn't think anything was off. He walked to your side of the car where Jin got down first and helped you down next.

"Love of my life, so good to see you again." Your ex smiled.

You huffed, "you're already exhausting me."

"Well, brighten up. We have a date in two hours."

"You know I'm dating Yoongi. I'm not going on a date with you."

"Yes, you are. There's a glam team waiting for you to get you ready. We're going out to dinner." Jungkook walked with an arm around your shoulder to lead you.

"Jungkook," you seethed, "I may have handcuffs on, but that won't stop a psychotic episode from happening if your hand is on me for another second."

He lifted his arm off, "I'll keep your psychosis in mind."

"Why the hell do I have to go on a date with you? And whatever happened to avoiding war?"
