Chapter 14 : Old grudge
<>~<>~<>
"What the hell!" The man who was holding the gun shouted out loud. Jungkook's smirk only grew wider looking at the worried expressions on the man's face.
"You can't get the Mins, now the Jeons, down. Better get that in your head right this moment or you're going to pay for life, Seo Jiwoong." Jungkook said as a loud hustle was heard of the policemen entering the building. Within no time, they reached the tenth floor and caught all the men masked in black.
Jiwoong. So that was his name. But what did he have to do with Jungkook? Taehyung wondered.
Jiwoong's stare was fixed on Jungkook as Jungkook shrugged his gaze away as the policemen were taking him away. Jungkook turned towards Taehyung who was staring into nowhere.
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked.
"I should be the one asking that!" Taehyung almost yelled. "That b*stard pointed the gun at you and you.. What if the police wouldn't arrive?! Would you let him shoot you?! Huh?!" He was yelling at Jungkook's face by then.
He cares. He still cares. Jungkook couldn't help but think of it and have a thin and small smile appear on his face.
"Someone had already called the police. And Jiwoong was a wanted man in Manchester, and now in South Korea as well." Jungkook said as he looked down, avoiding his eyes to meet Taehyung's.
"O-oh." Taehyung couldn't help but stutter as he didn't want to let out the worried tears he had been holding in for a super long time. He didn't know what else to say. Then he made eye contact with Jungkook as a question left his gape. "Why was Jiwoong, or whatever his name is, after you?"
"Because of Jeon Constructions and Industry."
"An old grudge or just to get the reputation down?"
"Either. Or you can count on both." Jungkook walked towards a couch and sat comfortably on it, gesturing Taehyung to sit there as well because the surroundings were safe now.
"And what about theâ¦.accident?" Taehyung asked, curiosity being shown clearly. He wanted to know about it and there was nothing wrong in it. "It was caused by Jiwoong only. To somehow get me off the track of handling the company." As Jungkook said that, Taehyung's gaze travelled to the floor as it got fixed there, not knowing what to ask or say ahead.
Knowing nothing about what to say next, Taehyung got up from the couch and turned to face the exit. "Now that it's over, I should get going. Take care of yourself." But then, he was stopped by Jungkook's next statement.
"Taehyung, don't you think you owe me a few answers?"
