Chapter 11

“Why the hell are you here, huh? Are you here to kill someone else or what? Can’t you leave us alone?”

“That’s none of your business. Hmm, as for me, maybe I did come to kill someone, but that’s still none of your fucking business.”

Jungkook thought about the conversation he had with eunwoo that morning. While thinking about it, he began hearing voices in his head:

“Jungkook-ah, is it true? D-did you really kill hyung?”

“You’re a killer. You’re so selfish. I’ll never forgive you.”

“Y-you even tried to kill my n-noona?”

“You betrayed us. You don’t even deserve forgiveness.”

“You don’t deserve to live. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Just go and die.”

Jungkook quickly covered his ears. He hurriedly took out his earbuds and put them on, playing a soothing song. He took deep breaths and calmed himself. But neither Jin, Taehyung, nor Jimin noticed what was happening.

“We’re here,” Jin announced.

They got out of the car. Jungkook scanned the small restaurant. “The food here is going to be sooo good, Kook,” Taehyung said, patting Jungkook’s shoulder.

Jungkook glared at Taehyung and said coldly, “Didn’t I tell you not to touch me? I don’t like being touched, so don’t touch me.” Taehyung’s smile faltered a little, but he quickly forced it back. “M-mianhae, Kook,” Taehyung said with a nervous, fake smile. Jungkook stared at him for a few seconds before looking away with a heavy sigh.

Seeing Taehyung’s discomfort, Jimin wrapped his arms around him, and Jin gave Taehyung a reassuring, warm smile. Taehyung smiled back at Jin.

The four entered the restaurant and took a seat near the window.

Meanwhile, eunwoo entered the restaurant with a bright smile. “Good evening, everyone,” eunwoo greeted the other workers. He went to the dressing room and changed into his work uniform.

Yes, eunwoo is working here part-time.

“Yah, eunwoo-yah, go take the order for table 7,” one of the workers said. eunwoo nodded and went to the table where the Kims were seated.

“Good evening, sirs,” eunwoo greeted with a bow, not yet noticing Jungkook.

Jungkook immediately looked up when he heard the familiar voice. His heartbeat quickened when he saw eunwoo.

eunwoo’s bright smile faded into anger as soon as he recognized Jungkook. They stared at each other for a moment before eunwoo looked away, taking a deep breath.

“What would you like to order, sir?” eunwoo asked politely, directing his question to Taehyung, Jin, and Jimin.

Jin smiled and looked at Jungkook, who was looking down. “Hey, Kook, what do you want to eat?” Jimin asked gently.

“Anything,” Jungkook replied quietly. Jin, Jimin, and Taehyung smiled, and Jin gave eunwoo the order.

“We’ll have two plates of tteokbokki and two plates of momos,” Jin said softly.

“Thank you for ordering, sir. Please wait for a few minutes, and I’ll be back with your food,” eunwoo said, bowing before leaving.

After eunwoo left, Jungkook stared at his trembling hand. He was sweating a lot. He held his head in his head. Jin and Taehyung noticed.

“Hey, Kookie, are you okay, bun?” Jimin asked softly, concerned. Jungkook nodded but stayed in the same position.

“Your hands are shaking. Are you cold, Kookie?” Jin asked, worry evident in his voice.

“N-nae, a l-little,” Jungkook said. Jin immediately took off his jacket and placed it on Jungkook. Jungkook stared at him, confused.

“I-I don’t want it. You can wear it,” Jungkook said, trying to give the jacket back. But Jin stopped him.

“No, Kook. You should wear it. It’s cold in here,” Jin said with a smile. Jungkook nodded slightly, accepting the jacket.

Meanwhile, eunwoo was watching this interaction, grinding his teeth and clenching his fists. He scoffed bitterly and looked away.

Soon, the food was ready, and eunwoo was about to deliver it to their table when an elderly woman approached. He stopped, waiting for her to finish talking to the group.

Unintentionally, eunwoo overheard their conversation.

“Ah, Seokjin-ah, Taehyung-ah, Jimin-ah, how are you, sons?” the old lady asked.

“We’re doing fine, halmoni,” Jin, Jimin, and Taehyung responded together with warm smiles.

“How are you, halmoni? Are you taking your medicine on time?” Jin asked kindly, smiling as usual.

“Yes, I’m taking my medicine. I’m doing well,” the old lady replied, smiling. That’s when her eyes landed on the silent Jungkook, who was looking out the window.

“Who is that, Seokjin-ah?” she asked, pointing to Jungkook.

“H-huh h-he H-he’s—” Jin stuttered, unsure of what to say, but he was interrupted by Jungkook.

“I’m Mr. Kim Hyun-woo’s nephew,” Jungkook said calmly.

“N-nae, he’s Uncle’s nephew. He, Taehyung, and Jimin go to the same university, so we came here together,” Jin added. The old lady nodded in understanding.

“Ah, that’s good to hear. Okay, I’ll take my leave now. See you later, sons,” she said before walking away.

Meanwhile, eunwoo scoffed bitterly at hearing Jungkook introduce himself as “im Mr. kim Hyun-woo’s nephew.” He sighed and returned to the table.

“Here is your order, sirs. Enjoy your meal,” eunwoo  said with a slight smile.

“Thanks a lot,” Taehyung, Jin, and Jimin said together.

eunwoo bowed and left the table.

The four began eating. As usual, Jungkook was just playing with his food. “Here, Kookie, try this momo. It’s really good,” Jimin said, placing one on Jungkook’s plate.

Jungkook didn’t even glance at him. He took a bite, but he was clearly lost in thought.

He came out of thoughts when tae spoke “hyung I think he studies in our University. I think he is 1st year” “hmm same for me” jimin added. they were speaking about eunwoo

“Umm kook do you know him?” Jimin asked “nae he is my c-cl-lassmate” jk said.  All made o face and Jin said “he is young to work here” after saying this he sighed.

While eating, Jungkook suddenly choked on his food and began coughing.

Jin, Taehyung, and Jimin’s concern grew as they started comforting Jungkook.

Meanwhile, eunwoo heard Jungkook’s hard cough. When he saw the distressed look on Jungkook’s face, he shrugged his thought and quickly took a step forward, but stopped when he saw Jungkook’s hyungs comforting him.

eunwoo just stood there, staring at them with no emotion.

“Hey, hey, slow down here. Drink some water,” Tae said, handing him the water while Jimin gently rubbed JK’s back. After a few minutes, JK calmed down.

“You should be careful, Kook. See, now you choked. Eat properly. Don’t play with your food,” Jin said softly in concern. JK nodded. “Your focus isn’t on the food. You’re lost somewhere else,” Tae said, sensing JK’s distress. “A-ani, I’m fine,” JK said and continued eating. The other trio sighed and continued eating. While eating, JK looked at eunwoo, who was already looking at him.

JK noticed eunwoo’s reddish eyes. They stared at each other. eunwoo looked away, angrily leaving for thechange-room. Jungkook just looked at his fading figure, biting his lips.

“It’s ok kook. He is no one to you, he is just a classmate yeah a classmate. Don’t speak with him. Focus on studies. You are fine. He is also fine. No one will harm anyone”

“Here, Kookie. Eat properly,” Jin said, placing more tteokbokki on JK’s plate. “I don’t want more. I’m full,” JK said, taking the water and sipping slowly. “B-but you’re only little,” Tae and Jimin said. “I don’t have an appetite,” JK said. “Oh, okay,” Tae and Jimin said and continued eating their food. JK was looking out, sipping his cold shake.

He saw eunwoo sitting on his motorbike. eunwoo drove off quickly. Jungkook bit his lips.

After eating at the restaurant, they headed to the mansion. Jungkook went to his room, closing himself inside.

Tae, Jimin, and Jin went to freshen up.

30 minutes later

Tae, Jimin, Namjoon, and Hobi were in the living room, while Yoongi and Jin were in the study, checking documents. After a while, Yoongi came out.

“Hobi and namjoon, come to the garden, jimin and tae go and clean your workshop after that you can play” Yoongi announced. Jimin and tae sighed and went. Hobi and namjoon  went to the garden, where they saw Jin sitting on a swing, holding his laptop.

They all sat on the couch.

“Hyung, why did you call us? Is there something important?” Namjoon asked. Jin hummed, setting his laptop aside.

“It’s about my dad. Today, he asked about rejoining the mafia,” Jin said.

Both’s eyes widened at this. Hobi stood up immediately. “What, hyung? Can’t he understand? We are not going to join the mafia again, right?” Hobi asked, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

“Of course we’re not joining, hoba. Don’t panic. We’re here, and we won’t let him do anything,” Jin said, assuring hobi. Hobi nodded, though his breathing was a little uneven.

“What did you say, hyung?” Namjoon asked.

“I told him we can’t join. He said okay and didn’t press further, but he did warn us,” Jin said, his voice serious.

“What did he warn you about?” Hobi asked.

“He said a lot of rivals are looking for us, so we need to be careful. Especially Jungkook—if anything happens to him, Dad will definitely do something drastic,” Jin explained.

After Jin spoke, a heavy silence filled the room, thick with worry and fear.

“Y-you mean there are rivals looking for us?” Namjoon asked softly. Jin nodded.

“Hyung, does kook know about us?” Hobi asked suddenly.

“No, he doesn’t. And he must never find out,” Jin said, his voice firm.

“So from now on, I want you all to take guards with you. And carry a gun—understood?” Yoongi said. Everyone nodded.

“Um, I guess jungkook doesn’t  know Uncle is in the mafia?” Namjoon asked.

“I don’t think he knows. Dad warned me not to let Jungkook find out about the underground,” Jin replied.

After a moment of silence, Jin spoke again, showing his laptop.

“This is the list of our rivals—those with serious grudges against us. Some have even tried to harm us or planned to do so. We must be extremely careful. THE SHADOWS are still looking for many secrets from us, especially anything related to Jungkook. So we must protect him at all costs,” Jin explained.

“The Shadows… ugh, are they insane or what?” Namjoon asked, irritated.

“They are insane, joonjs. That’s why they keep pulling these ridiculous stunts,” Yoongi replied. Namjoon just nodded.

“So from now on, be careful,” Yoongi concluded. Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Hyung we need to discuss about the gang ace. We got some details about them” hobi said.

Soon they started discussing about the details.

Meanwhile with jungkook

Jungkook was done doing his class works. Right now jk was laying on his bed scrolling his mobile. As he got bored he kept the phone aside. He looked outside the window where the clouds was grey means it’s going to rain.

He stared the clouds, after a while he whispered “I am sorry”. He took his memorial box and took out the bracelet he wore that.

“Hey jungkookah here wear this” eunwoo who was 16 said giving him a bracelet. “What is this?” Jungkook asked looking at the bracelet.

“Ahh don’t ask questions, here show me your hand” eunwoo said and jk forwarded his hand.

Eunwoo made jk to wear the bracelet. Jk smiled looking at his hand. “For what it is?” Jk asked.

“Its a friend ship bracelet Tada” eunwoo Said while showing his hand.  Keeping hands near jk’s

he was also wearing the same. Jk smiled warmly.

“You guys are best friends huh??” A women who was in her 40s asked. “Nae eomma we are best best friends. I am there for him and he is there for me. We will be friends until we die” eunwoo said. “Nae we will be eomma” jungkook said with a warm smile.

Jungkook chuckled and mumbled “bestfriends until we die” after saying this he started laughing. Though his eyes was filled with sadness.
